Jes, that is so exciting! Either way you have one very strong heartbeat - keeping fingers crossed for baby B. We also will be very happy with 1 bean - I would be excited to see two but would be even more worried!
I am getting very nervous for tomorrow, I had a tiny bit of spotting last night and some slightly crampy feelings, not quite AF pains but of that genre - did anyone else have these around the 6 week mark? I expected this around 4 weeks not really later??
The scan is at 1.30 tomorrow - only 1 sleep to go. We will be 6 wks and 2 days so even if everything's ok we may not see a heartbeat - this is know will totally freak me out so I really hope we do see one.
XXXXXXX T
December 07 Babies
Congratulations JesJes on your u/s. I will say a little prayer for Baby B.
Tams- Good luck with your scan today. That is exactly how far along I was at my first scan and we were able to hear a heart beat so hopefully you will too! But don't fret if you can't. My RE said it's not unusual to have to wait longer.
Ok, girls so is anyone else stressing in between scans?? I have had two perfect ultrasounds that shows the baby right on track with a really strong heart beat and I feel excited and great for a few days and then I start worrying again. Must be this ivf roller coaster that some days it's hard to believe it's really happening.
But I'm a loony person waiting for my first ob/gyn appt and it's not until the 15th. And what's worse is I won't have an ultrasound. He will just check for the heart beat with the Doppler which it may be too early to hear it with. I wish I could just relax and enjoy this!!!!!!

Steph,
I am right there with you. My second u/s is Monday and at first I am excited, but now, I just am worried sick. What if something happened? That with the PIO shots are probably part of my stress and moodiness. Every little twinge of pain I have, I stress. I just hope that at 12 weeks, I calm down... 4 more weeks!! I am 8 weeks today!

Hey ladies
Jes - congratulations! 2 beanies! I hope little baby b catches up - when is your next scan??
tams - good luck tomorrow, I'll be checking in to see how you went. Don't worry about a little bit of spotting, I had the red dawn of horror and Super-Bean was ok. Have my fingers crossed for you.
Reward, Steph - man I am right there with you, each day between scans seems to last a year, I must be 60 by now. I too am hoping that things will relax a little when you get past 12 weeks......
How are all the twin mums??
I'm still off work and am BORED!!!! I'm just sitting about watching bad cable with only my nausea for company. But still, no bleeding so marking it up as positive! How are everyone's symptoms? I have nausea pretty much all day but paricularly bad in the early evening. And I'm craving carbs and cake. Mmmmm, cake.....
Take it easy ladies
Love, Lola

Hi everyone,
I think many of us are feeling the stress of waiting, I know I am.
Reward, steph, & tams,
I am a mess right now worrying. I am pretty good for about a week then I start to lose it. My Dr says I can have a peek anytime I want but, I worry too many us isn't good for the babies & I get terrified of what I will or won't see so, the stress level goes up.
Tams, I am so sorry that you have to deal with the spotting & cramping.I know it's terrifying but, many women do just fine. Stay strong. I can't wait to hear about your scan.
I myself am feeling depressed & worried today. I just found out that about 3 mos ago my sil asked mil if she knew of anyone who wanted to adopt a baby that was going to be born soon. Mil told her that myself & dh would be the only ones & we were going through ivf instead. I am sick about it.
She calls dh every morning & never mentions it until yesterday. I feel like that could've been my last chance for a baby & it was taken away like that. I know I am blessed with these 2 but, I lost my last one & I still have no idea why& I am scared every minute for these 2.
How could she do that to us? Does she know the hell we've gone through? This was my 4th cycle, the 2nd bfp after losing that last. We have ins but, still have to pay alot. We just sent the Dr a check for $8,000. I have comprimised my health over & over for this & I have had to wait for donors to be found & then had a cycle cancelled because one couldn't follow through so, this is really my 5th cycle.
I feel like everytime I turn around I am being slapped in the face. I see women & "girls" everywhere that can't take care of themselves but, are sent home from the hospital with babies(you all know what I am talking about)
After we lost our baby my cousins wife had ivf at my Dr office & had b/g twins on the 1st cycle. Well, he signed his dh & dd away at 6 & 7 years old to his ex wifes dh so he wouldn't have to pay child support. Why did he get so lucky? What about the lady that gave birth in her bathtub yesterday & drowned her baby?
Why is it so hard for us? The ones that would give anything to hold our babies. I am so scared for my babies right now & I feel so betrayed by mil & like the universe hates me.
Sorry, just needed to vent. I wish it was Christmas!!!!!!!!

Nine weeks and two days Reward! Ahh you scary woman - shouting at your poor little assistant! Two of you pregnant on the job your poor boss LOL.
Yes I have been a bit more snappy and every now and again I burst into tears for no reason but I am smiling the whole time its funny! My Dh looked at me on my gym ball the other day and suddenly I thought Twins and the tear started and he laughed and said "Oh dear, what ever am I going to do with you!"
Tam thinking of you. Best of luck with that scan tomorrow can't wait to hear your news!
Donna great betas!
Jes One of mine is two days before the other and it is very early for heartbeats so who knows the fact there was a sack was very promising!
Pixie I am still not sick. We are very lucky! I think a little of what you fancy does you good and I am snacking on lots of nuts and bananas!
Love to you all off to grow some more!

Quita, glad to know someone else is on an emotional roller coaster with me!
Pixiesmom, everything you said is right on. My mil doesn't even know. She didn't care we had a mc the first time, didn't believe we were pg. After the mc she said, well you two weren't ready anyway...
whatever!?!?
lola, superbean cracks me up! i am glad you are okay.
jes, i hope everything works out. i am sure he is just a slow grower.
NOW... i have question. i have had a thin white discharge this whole time. RE: said it was normal (as long as no smell and no itching). I also occaisionally have had vaginal pain not really sure if it is my cervix or what? It has gotten a little more lately. Thank God I go to the RE Monday and I can ask him but has anyone else had any of this?

We have a heartbeat!!!! Thank you everyone for your words of support, I have been so worried.
In fact we have two gestational sacs and two heartbeats but the sonographer said that looking at the second one it didn't look as strong as it should and it probably wouldn't go all the way. I have another scan next week to see about baby B, but baby A is looking mighty fine at the moment and apparently has two heart chambers already (very clever little bean!) We heard the heartbeat - how amazing is that?!
Am grinning from ear to ear - DH is beside himself with happiness.
I'm not sure what to think about baby B, I hope it does survive but if its not meant to be then its not meant to be - we only expected one out of this treatment (having had none the last two times), so I won't be disappointed if only one baby makes it. But I also don't want baby B to feel I'm giving up on it - already feel that I am not being a supportive mother!!
Jes did you have a similar situation? Or was your scan just very early? I am 6 wks and 2 days. How do you feel about it?
Am off to have a lovely bank holiday weekend knowing that I am at least certainly pregnant - now I am starting to believe it!
I will be back in touch on Mon
LOL and big hugs

Way to go Tams!!!!!
I just knew it had to be good news!!! We are a lucky bunch of mommies!!!! I just knocked on wood. Did you read my post to Jes about my baby B at 5 weeks. The sac looked " empty" & then a week later a hb & my cousin who is only 2 days behind me didn't have a hb a 6 weeks & 4 days later there it was. So, you can't always tell this early but, at least you have one strong one & that is the goal after all. I will pray for baby B.
Reward,
It's nice to know that I am not the only one with stupid in laws. Unfortunately my husband has a mom & stepmom & crazy sister. His mom only wants us to have a girl & is adamant that I breastfeed. OMG, I am almost 38 with 3 teenagers I think I can decide if I am going to breastfeed twins. I did with all of the others but, isn't this my decision? My sil has told me twice that she won't be buying anything for the babies until the 8th or 9th month in case something happens. Isn't that nice. She won't be buying anthing anyway because she's always borrowing money from us
As far as the symptoms you've been having I have to. Im pretty sure the Dr will say it's hormones & stretching. Those are there standard answers for "I don't know" Dob't worry as long as there isn't itching or bleeding you should be ok.
Quita,
Everytime you tell my that you're not sick I smile. You are my only reassurance because everyone, everywhere says I should be sick with twins. Thank you, I hope you don't get sick!!!
Lola,
Sorry you're bored & feeling sick but, no bleeding yeah! I could go for some cake to. I have been wanting so much junk food it's not funny. I have been trying not to idulge too much but, I did have some chocolate cake, mmmm!
Talk to everyone later!!!My blueberries say hi to all the other Dec babies.

Tams~ My us was at the same time yours was 6w3d.
Except the second sac did nt show a heartbeat yet and was smaller than the other one which had a hb and measured perfectly.
I am not sure how I feel. I feel sad that I might lose one of them but elated that I am pregnant with one healthy one. Sorta a doub;e edged sword at the moment. Hopefully my next scan will show some good news for Baby b!

Great news Tams!
SJ Brown, Jazemine, any news yet?
Thankfully my m/s has lessened, but OMG I now have a yeast infection and I am not happy about it. My doctors office is also taking their sweet time referring me to my obgyn and I am pissed! I call there everyday and it is like they are just glad that I am pregnant and then oh well…
I am going crazy, but I suppose it could be worse…

Nine Weeks and Five days Hello another week! Got to stop wishing my life away, keep telling myself this is your time, enjoy it! It will be over soon enough - but I can't wait to get to the magic 12 weeks.
Twin mums I am reading the most fantasic book called "Double Trouble" by Emma Malony got on amazon. I well recommend it. It is really funny and warm but it doen't half make you think of all the thing we must orginise. Tells you which pushchairs are best for two and where to get them from and price and everyting. It is a really detailed book - but not scary.
We are trying to do all the DIY we need to complete before Rabbit and Stew are born. Our house is rather 80's in places and we have been gradually doing up ourselves as we could afford. But of course everything came to a standstill during the IVF and we knew if we needed another go all our house dreams were going to have to end. So in a weird way having twins has saved us money!
Today hubby is laying the floor in the lounge and kitchen its going to look great - the carpet is so old and horrible can't wait to see it go.
Then we need to buy a cooker hood and a splashback so we can finish tiling the kitchen.
Ater that we need new doors for lounge and kitchen.
And there is loads more else where. But at least we can get on now!
Hated limo land.
