Yesterday, I felt SO GREAT and ENERGETIC that I thought "uh-oh, I'm not pregnant anymore!" ... today? I crawled out of bed at 11:30 and feel like a truck hit me. NO ENERGY.

Is anyone else as fatigued as I am in the morning? I'm usually okay the rest of the day, until around 3:00 - 4:00 or so...these twins are zapping me.

Still, no M/S though (other than the fatigue, & food and smell aversions, but nothing awful like some of you poor gals!)

Hello ladies.
Come to join you.

This may sound stupid but im not sure when my new weeks start. I had eggs fertilised on the Friday and put back in on the Monday. Does it work from the fri or Mon? I am either 6 weeks tom or 6 weeks on Mon. I have my 7 week scan the following Mon so common sense would say its a Monday thing?????

I am also desperate to get morning sickness! It would just make it all feel so ereal. My DH says " be careful what you wish for".

Felt a bit different today, like I have been winded in the stomach and possibly a bit of pyscological sicky feeling!! Hahahaha we must be mad!!!


Look forward to catching up with you. How far do you think I am? Wen do you think I'm due?????

Hugs xx Leanne

Er, there's not a Day One of the LMP on the ticker site.
That would be a Chart/Formula to figure out your due date...

Hi Leann welcome, I had calculated when my due date would be from the day of my LMP like wood and that would have put me at April 28th but the RE used the day after retrevial I think? so they took my eggs out on the 9th but are calculating my DD from the 10th because they have put my DD at May 2nd and counting backwards I think thats what they did

Vlad, I think that your baby must be doing fine if it were distressed I think that they would have known something was off by now, I am keeping you in my thoughts try to rest and keep up that PMA :wink:

Wood, I think I am a lot like you some days I wake up and I feel great other days I feel like ARG :? still no morning sickness here either and GLAD did have a couple moments of quizeness yesterday but nothing to bad however the strangest thing happened today I hate McDonalds exceot every once in a while I will eat thier McMuffin in the a.m. today I had the worst craving for a McDonalds cheeseburger, I don't think I have eaten one of those since I was 16 and I scarfed 2 down in about 5min :oops: CRAZY!

Well I'm getting closer to my first U/S still have a few more days to go 18th in the mean time making myself crazy, I read a post quite a while ago about a girl who got her BFP and then went for her U/S and there was no HB poor girl I can't get that out of my head sure i'm fine but will feel better after next week.

Hello,
Aliann, you will be fine, i am sure you baby is doing good, you are worried because you have not seen it yet and have not heard the heart beat, after that happens i think that it will be easier.
Woodcliff,
good luck with your US, so your fertility doc has released you already?
Still trying, welcome and you DO NOT want a MS, trust me, i've been having it since 5.5 weeks and it is horrible, i thought that it got better yesterday, but this morning i threw up about 7 times, it is really exhausting, believe me.
Well, i am still on bedrest, had to get up a couple of times to grab some bread and crackers from the kitchen , then i got up to get gatorate. My husband is at work, so nobody can really take care of me and my doc judt doesn't want me out of bed at all. I don't know it that is possible.
Good luck ladies!!!!
Vlada.

Hello!

TWINS!!!!!! twin A is 6mm long and has a heart beat of 115; Twin B is 8mm long (big brother?) and has a HB of 119!!! Are those heart beats healthy? my RE said anything over 100 was good but compared to Valda's beancake it's a little low.

Only bad news is I have a large blood clot in there too. It's the same size as the baby sacs. They hope that it will diminish in size and not be a problem but it has concerned me as they said worst case scenario it could hurt the pregnancy. Has anyone else know anything like this? On the positive side I will have another scan next week to monitor it - and I get to check in on the babies!!

Valda, hope you're doing ok my sweet - hang in there.

Sorry no time for personals tonight but I'm thinking about you all and sending lots of love XXX

Rebecca,
I have aswered your question under a separate topic that you have posted about the blood clot.
Congrats on twins and i think that the HB is fine because you are still beind me about 4 days, so for your 6w3d i think those Hbs are wonderfull!!!!
Please, take it easy, and i am sure that nasty blood clot will go away. o are not bleeding or anything, so that is a very good sign.
Good luck,
Vlada.

hello all,

The blood clot is actually separate from the babies - just floating in the uterus by itself. It looks like a third baby sac. It's not attached to anything so I'm hoping it can't get any bigger but it is a bit scary.

This morning I feel terrible, I have a meeting in 5 minutes and have no idea how I'm going to get through it. At least I now know why the MS hit me so hard!!

WC, If you find any good books on twins let me know as I am fairly ignorant on the matter. I can't even imagine having one baby!!

OK, got to run as feel dreadful.

Love to all XXX

Rebecca, I hope you feel better! I hope that the blood clot dissipates on its own...
