Wannababy! I knew it! Congratulations! This is so great! Welcome to preggos and happy 9 months! The number is really good. I had pretty much the same levels, I don't know about the day 11 but my 9dp3dt was 102 and my 12dp3dt was 489 and I was told I had really strong numbers. And not even a week later I had 2848, it grows like crazy! Looks like this microflare protocol really helped us both, ha? We both are pregnant now!
THIS IS SOOOOOOOO GREAT! Image

OH MY GOD!! OH MY GOD!! I am actually crying right now. I am so happy for you. I actually knew you were going to be pregnant. I get really strong instincts and felt positive about you. I did not post that because I had the same feeling your first time around and was shocked when it did not happen. You must be overjoyed. I said I was not leaving until all us originals become pregnant and we are getting closer and closer every day! YEAH YEAH

Love,

Lots going on with our little thread right now, huh?

Wannababy - I'm still sooooo excited for your bfp - inquiring minds want to know - how are you feeling, when do you scan, etc etc....273 sounds like a terrific number to me!

Lola - great wishes to you too for your scan tomorrow! That's also super exciting.

Bobo - very good wishes for your pregnancy test on Friday - I hope this will be your lucky month as well!

I can't believe it but I found out I got a UTI today - ugh....I had been feeling kind of wierd and I called the doctor - they had me come in and said that I did - so 10 days of antibiotics for me now. They promise me they're fine to use and, in fact, important to use right away. I hope this isn't going to cause any problems. Although, I've stopped having any/all cramping/pains today (really since late yesterday), so I'm a bit bummed that maybe things aren't going well. Trying to keep my pma, but....

Off to watch the packers (dh is from Wisconsin, so we have to be glued to the TV when they're on monday night football - - hee hee...)

suzhan,

The fact you have stopped cramping is no big deal at all. I have heard you may cramp the first couple of days as your embryos are hanging on and your utuerias is swollen. I had none of that during my 2ww. Do not overthink it and stay positive. I know you are next!!!!!

Bobo- Best of luck on Friday....only a few more days.

Lola - I live just outside of Orlando. Good luck with your scan today. I'll be thinking of you!

Suzhan - My DH and myself are from Wisconsin so I was glued to the game last night as well. Or shall I say until I could keep my eyes open!!! More importantly for you though, stay positive! We will stay positive for you too!

Bobo - Good luck to you on Friday. I see a BFP in your future!

Thank you all for your well wishes. It is my hope that you all get to experience this feeling. I'm still in disbelief. :shock:

For those who asked, I had 3 embies transferred 2 8 cell and 1 9 cell on a 3 day transfer. I did feel differently this time around. I had almost no cramping, but experienced a breathtaking pain across the middle of my abdomen on 3dpt. I tend to think that was my embie(s) implanting. I experienced this pain on a much smaller scale periodically throughout the rest of the 2 ww. AF felt like it was about to make an appearance almost everyday. I also woke up with a headache 3 days in a row. Breasts were sore almost the whole time. I'm usually a tired person in general, so I don't know if the tiredness I have felt was due to this pregnancy. I'm sure more symptoms are around the corner!

Lola--How was your scan? How many beanies are brewing?

Bobo-good luck on Friday. Hoping you get a BFP!!

Suzhan-how are you feeling? I'm praying for your BFP!!!

golfswife-I always got excited when the women on this board got BFP. It kept me very hopeful! Your time is coming!

Hopeful--how are your shots going so far?

Again, thank you all for your support. I don't know how I would have gotten through this without you! I go back tomorrow for more bloodwork! Take care!

Girls, I still cannot believe it, it is a DOUBLE TROUBLE!
There were 2 strong heartbeats! The beanies are so cute, they have a little head and a tail and they were lying on their back and the hearts were pounding on their chests. Seeing that was the most beautiful moment in my life! I was crying and shaking. I did not expect this at all. I was just praying for one strong heartbeat. My hubby was there holding my hand. He is so happy, he always wanted twins. So it is TWINS! I still cannot believe it. We have a little photo of them, so I have to look at it all the time.
I actually have 3 sacks, which means that all 3 embies took :shock: , but the third one is very tiny and has no heart beat. So I was told I will probably lose him, he will either get absorbed by the uterus or I will miscarry him. It should not hurt the other 2. There is also a chance that the little one is behind and he will still get a heart beat. We will see at the next ultrasound - next Tuesday. But it looks more like it will dissolve on its own.
We are still not telling everybody, just close family. Things may still happen... I think we will announce it right after Christmas, when I am at least 11 weeks.

Wannababy ---- I feel very tired too. I have to take naps all the time. And I have to eat more often. Your numbers look great, you may have multiples as well! When is your scan? They usually do them at 6 weeks. I was 6 weeks and 1 day today.

Bobo, Suzhan ---- only a few more days, you are in my prayersImage!

Love to you all and thank you for thinking of me today! Lola

Wannababy - thanks for the '411' on your progress! It's always great to 'compare notes' (which I'm probably doing a little too much right now during the 2ww.)

Sam - thanks so much for your reassurance. I'd always thought the 'cramping' was almost a necessity during the 2ww. I had a really bad pain in my lower abdomen early Sunday a.m. (woke me straight up) but nothing until today. Now, I've got some strange 'tugging' or 'pulling', sometimes when I move a certain way, but no real cramping. It's good to know that cramping isn't mandatory for the 'bfp'!

Overall, I know I need to stop trying to analyze everything, but I've come to accept that I probably can't help myself and I'm just trying to keep busy to keep my mind occupied elsewhere! Going back to work this week has helped a bit, too.

I'm just so excited for our two new success stories, Lola and Wannababy!

Take care ladies,
