I’ve thought about the doppler also. I’m sure that when I go in tomorrow and he says “See you in 1 month” that will push me to go ahead and get one too!

I’m off the progesterone and VERY HAPPY about it. I was so tired of taking them that I was thankful when I was done and not worried. After 2 more weeks, you may feel the same way

LOL, you crack me up! My rule for pelvic rest is “If mama ain’t happy…no bodies happy!” LOL! My hubby is doing way better with it than me surprisingly. I think he gets a quick out of the fact that I’M the one who is dying for it instead of the other way around! How cruel! In the beginning, I was having a lot of “inappropriate dreams”…[Read more]

Tell me about it! I thought that Baby B was the nice, quiet one like me, but turns out he or she has some of his/her father in them after all

Isn’t it amazing how fast they grow in the begining. It is always so amazing to go in and see how much they’ve changed. I am opting out of the first trimester screen because my insurance only covers…[Read more]

OMG…yesterday was a NIGHTMARE but before I start the story I’ll go ahead and say all turned out okay and both babies are well. Originally I was going on my own, but my hubby insisted on meeting me and I’m SO GLAD. We met with the nurse practitioner first and she did an exam and pap. At first she said maybe the gray stuff was leftover…[Read more]

OMG…I’m just like you there too. EVERY TIME the split second before the ultrasound I get SUPER nervous (think shaking and naseous) that there won’t be anything there. Good luck with your perinatologist appt and your ultrasound. I’m sure that little bean is growing away!

I am acutally having a bit of a scare today. WARNING…TMI: …[Read more]

No problem. I think it helps to have as much information as possible (just not maybe as much as google can give you )!! Glad to hear you finally have a sensible doctor. Hope those ovaries strat to “simmer down” soon. My RE told me that unfortunatley pregnancy hormones can stimulate the ovaries so that’s why they don’t shrink back down…[Read more]

Oh, I wasn’t as calm in the beginning. Kept feeling like I was getting a visit from AF during the first few weeks. I think my doctors did a good job at preparing me for EVERYTHING (i.e., saying you should expect this, you should expect that, etc.). Plus I was lucky enough to have a best friend that got pregnant with twins with the same doctor…[Read more]

These doctors are making me mad for you!! A vote on whether to take you as a patient? Is this a doctor’s office or a sorority?

Just wanted to let you know also that one of my little beans was measuring behind with a lower heartbeat at 6 weeks. He/she actually caught up the next week, so don’t be discouraged. Also, I have been extremely…[Read more]

Hi Carleen! I’m in North Florida (Jacksonville) and also had to switch doctors from my original due to the twin pregnancy (they don’t deliver twins at the hospital my regular doc delivers at). I talked to a few people I know here who have twins or have siblings/friends that have twins and made a decision. I see my new OB next week, but for…[Read more]

Carleen, I know the lab work has to be frustraing but I have to say….SUCH GREAT NEWS! I’ve been MIA so I’m just now reading about your pregnancy! Good luck and keep us posted! SO EXCITING!!

VERY VERY tired. I slept for most of the day yesterday but unfortunately had to come to work today! Can’t wait for Friday to sleep all weekend again!

Carleen, you were right…twins!

Mostly tired! Thought I was going to miss out on morning sickness but it reared it’s ugly head this morning. Hoping it doesn’t get too bad. When do you leave for Italy? I was in Venice 2 years ago and it was amazing. Whre all do you plan to visit?

Lynn, I’m so sorry for your BFN. Enjoy your trip to Italy, a well deserved break. Good luck with your next step, whatever you guys decide that should be.

There is no next beta…(I know, strange) My RE only does one. My next appt is an ultrasound on 7/5. Beta 9dp5dt was 159.

Nancy, I’m feeling great!!! I just got confirmation from my doctor’s office a few hours ago that I’m PREGNANT!! (I started getting positive HPTs on Friday)

BTW…do they know when they will do your transfer?

Transfer went great on Saturday; however, I had a bit of a freak out afterwards because we did two (I am now thinking we should have done 1 and saved the other for a FET…but if I’d have done 1 I would probably be kicking myself for not doing 2). Luckily my 2WW is only 9 days!!

I’m happy to have all of the IVF procedures behind me! I don’t…[Read more]
