Kamaile - Yes ... my ET was 5/20. Our dates are really close, and I feel exactly like you do. Some days are completely normal and other days I'm SO tired and hungry and moody and crampy. I have also been dreaming a lot, and have to get up to pee once or twice during the night (which is totally new for me!).

PA_FA - Our ultrasounds are the same day...how exciting! Mine isn't until 3pm :x Can't wait to hear how yours went.

Bei - I have been thinking about you and I hope you are feeling better.

Lisadcb - I hope the 2ww is going well for you! Lots of sticky thoughts for you.

Tess- congrats!

Kitty - I really didn't start feeling any symptoms until the end of week 6. Then morning sickness started. The first time around I had a lot of stretching pains...but now my muscles are so stretched they are already starting to flop out.

Everyone else seems to be waiting=) Me too. I head in tomorrow for a follow-up ultrasound, then I won't see the RE for two more weeks. I can't believe Thursday I will be 8 weeks pregnant... woo-hoo!

Purplefish - thanks for asking...my 2ww is lasting a lifetime...but I took 2 HPT today (both were different brands) and I got a very faint line on each one of them. The first one I wasn't sure if I was imagining it, but the second was a darker faint line. So I have been pretty excited all day...yet very nervous. I have been around these boards long enough to know that so many people had + HPTs or BFPs with Betas but only to have their dreams crumble days or weeks later (some its months later with late term miscarriages). So I am trying to remain CAUTIOUSLY optimistic...(but that hasn't stopped me from telling my 19 month old son that he is going to be a big brother, since I figure if it doesn't end well he won't realize what I told him anyways).

Congrats Tess on your BFP!!!!!!!

Lisa- same thing happen to me...took a HPT and got the faintest positive....took it again 2 days later and you could definately see it then, sounds like a BFP to me but I know what you mean about being cautiosly optimistic...i still feel that way at times.

Hope everyone is doing well and had a great weekend!

Kamile- Great beta numbers! I can't wait to hear about your u/s.

Bei- I'm sorry you are so tired. I am exhausted all the time. It is so hard for me to even work. Your 2nd beta number looks great. How many dpt are you? They won't give me a 3rd beta either because my number jumped up so much. UGH. I really just want a beta so I can hear if it is still going well.

AFM I made an apt with a new regular Dr. We moved a few years ago and I have never changed Dr from when I lived 40 mins away. SO....I am going in tomorrow to the same guy I set my DH up with. I am hoping that the new Dr will give me another beta test. LOL I called the RE today to find out if I was going to get a 3rd beta this week. They said no that there was no need for one. :( They still do not have an apt time for me this friday for my u/s. ARGH!!!!!!!! THis is kind of like being a kid at Christmas...I can't wait for my present. :P

Hi all

Thanks for the congrats. Lots of cramping today - just to remind myself that I'm pregnant. Quite nice really! First time I've ever though cramps being nice!

Lisa - fingers crossed for you bloodtest - when is it scheduled. Sounds hopeful. I'll be thinking of you.

Bei - poor you. The tiredness must be really frustrating.

Purplefish - 8 weeks pregnant - fantastic! Good luck with your ultrasound tomorrow.

PA_FA - good luck with your ultrasound. When they finally book it in!

I just wanted to pop in and congratulate all of you on your BFPs!!! That is so exciting :)

I am scheduled for surgery next week, June 24. They aren't doing laproscopy this time because they are worried about the tumors this time, so they are opening me up :( Doc says I need to wait a month before thinking of another cycle, so I'm holding out hope for an August cycle.

I'll keep checking back...it's so great to see so many babies coming from this group!

bei - of course you are exhausted you are pregnant AND have OHSS. Your body is recovering and growing the baby at the same time. Try to keep up the PMA, you may be tired but at least you are pregnant... yay!

lisadcb - it sounds like you are in for a BFP, I hope the beta shows you good news!

rypell - good luck with your surgery next week, hopefully you have an easy recovery. I hope it goes well and you can try again in August.

I never had a third beta either, I just waited the second 2ww for the ultrasound. Hang in there everyone who is waiting for the first ultrasound, before you know it you will see your little one!

I had my second ultrasound today and it went great. One baby is measuring right on, and the other is + one day. The heartbeats were 167 and 156. The doctor was very happy! They also took my blood levels, hopefully they will call and say no more POI. I am now on a 3WW, but this is easier now that I know everyone is fine. I go back July 7th for one last ultrasound and blood work with my RE and then I will be off to the OB. I can't wait to hear about everyone else's ultrasounds.

Hi all

Kamaile - I'm sure your discharge is nothing to worry about. Would love to be able to give you more advice but it's my first time preggas so I'm not much use at all.

Lisa - all the signs are looking good. Fingers crossed for you and your test in a weeks time.

Rypell - all the very best for your surgery and a speedy recovery so that you can stay on track for your cycle in August.

Purplefish - how exciting for you. I'm so pleased to hear your twins are doing really well! I can't wait for my first scan - probably a couple of weeks away yet :(

I've got my second beta on Friday so I'm hoping for a nice high number.

Hi. The brown / pink discharge may be spotting related to implantation. The embryo burrowing and getting itself nice and cozy for the 9 month journey. It is not uncommon. I had a slightly heavier version at about 7 weeks (usually it's a bit earlier) and took bed rest for a couple of days as suggested by my dr. That pregnancy went fine after it.
