stephjim wrote:Yay it is finally back!!! I have been fretting all weekend so I have question for all the preggers here besides Steph because I have been talking to her.

How many betas did you have and what were they? I was just curious because my doc is stopping at 810 and I have to wait soo long for the us so just having paranoid feelings.

Also if you are on progesterone, did you get switched from shots to supp and was it a regular suppos or was it a pill that was inserted vaginally? Any help would be appreciated.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.
steph2 - as shantala's said, they don't do beta's over here much so have no idea - with the progesterone, i was on the lovely pesseries but unlike shantala I was on them until 12wks (oh and it wasn't inserted vaginally...try the other one! :shock: ) so i guess each country and even clinics are different.

its natural to have paranoid feelings - boy should have been at mine during those 2wks after BFP - it is like another 2ww but worse somehow as you just want some confirmation that all is ok - its like being in a hurdle race - get over one hurdle and then theres another......however no one is going fall on this race - we are all going to get to the end :lol:

shantala - omg 19 days to go !! sorry haven't responded to your text, was going to this morning and then realised it was some unearthly hour and you wouldn't appreciate it!! do you think she is ready to arrive if youre having contractions?? how exciting :lol:

Angel - sometimes friends can be a little insensitive but I put it down to not knowning how it feels to go through this - unless you go through this with the heartache and emotions you never truely understand - thats what we are here for!! :D

Steph - what are they trying to do to you - wasn't that dangerous especially with lil one on board?? You tell them next time girl!

Chriss - when's the new RE appt ? glad you're not down in the dumps though.

Hows everyone else - a little quiet on here lately - where are you all??

Hi Nims,

So your horse came in??? Are we talking racetrack here? Congratulations.
Glad that you finally bought something for your baby!!! It's hard to wait, but I understand the whole waiting thing. How are you feeling? Hope you are well. Thanks for inquiring about me.

I've been to new RE already a couple of times. I see him again this Wednesday for follow up on hysteroscopy (last week) and for a "sounding" (like a mock transfer). So all is good in New RE-LAND.

Hi girls.

Hi chriss, yes - The Grand National is one of the UK's biggest horse races - that and Ascot - so nice to have a little flutter and win !

good luck with the RE on Wednesday with your follow - I'm sure it will be all ok. Thats good that they are doing a mock transfer too - so if all is ok, will you be starting tmt soon??

Hi Ladies, sorry i've been mIA for so long, just never seem to have any spare time.

Hope and Stephjm, congratulations on your BFP's i am so happy for you both. Hope sounds like you have multiples in there, good luck with the scan on wednesday.

Steph, so sorry your glucose test was so bad, at least the result was good. Sorry your back in hell but not for much lon ger.

Becky, awe hun, sorry your down in the dumps, those damn hormones can be horrid and DR for so long must be sooo depressing. Big hugs to you, hang in there its for a good cause.

Chriss, so glad all is going well with the new RE, good luck with the test results, hope your not too long till your next go.

Angel, hang in there your doing good, I never wanted to socialise during our treatments and the longer it went on the worse we got, hope you improve day by day.

Mia, how you doing? hope your feeling a little better and the sickness has eased off a bit.

Miracle, sounds like you had good news, sorry did not get back that far reading, but hope all goes well.

Nimble, glad all is going well, sorry work is so busy!! you sound just like me, all i have bought so far are two sleepsuits. need to get my finger out.

Shantala, glad your hanging in there you must be so excited now, i hope everything is ready!!

Rachel, how are you doing? i am assuming you are in hospital as we have not heard from you, take care hun and good luck.

Sorry to everyone i have missed, but hugs to you all.

As for me doing ok, getting tired quicker now, but seem to have been extra busy at work.having another week off after tomorrow, and going to go crazy in the shops, as we have only got 2 sleepsuits so far, and by my calculations i only have 13 weeks left maximum, as with twins i will not be allowed to go beyond 38 weeks. The pushchair we want has finally come into the shop so going to see that and buy the cots, car seats etc. will get back on soon as on hols.
take care ladies

Hey girls. I know I havent been on in forever. work work work is all I have been doing - I havent even had a nap in weeks!! 12 weeks tomorrow :) Feel good. Appetite still low - but I try my best - I think I have lost more weight cuz a couple of ppl have commented at work. Still have not told anyone. I have had a couple of interviews today and then last friday for a teaching job that would start in August! Am I crazy?? I am starting to show just a tad - but it only obvious when I have a dress on - not obvious when I wear jeans yet. I plan on telling my family end of April and then dh and I will go to his homecountry in May and tell them, and then I wont have to hide it anymore :) - well I will still have ot hide it at work for as long as I can.

Anyway - I need to go back and catch up on everyone - the only thing I read was Steph hates her job.. ummm what is new???

I hope you still accept me into the circle of friendship - even though I am such a bad friend :( Just so busy barely any time ot clean and make potatoes..

My ultrasound is NEXT friday the 18th. That is not quickly. I want it now. I wish that they beta hcg tests for home so I can make sure my numbers are still doubling. I am so paranoid something is going to happen between now and then. I guess everyone goes through it but a lot of people get the early sac us as well.

How are you today Angie? Oh and when I did Clomid I did it from day 3 to day 8. and went in to the RE office on day for us.
