Thanks, eeh876! :)
Big Congrats to austingurl!
Much baby dust to you, eeh876 and nettibug!
Prayers for a continued healthy pregnancy to eeh876!
I have my 8 week ultrasound tomorrow and I'm a bit nervous about it. Most days I don't feel pregnant at all and start to think I'm about to miscarry then my boobs start hurting a little bit and I let myself relax until that let's up and I start stressing all over again. I've had a grand total of one day of morning sickness (I call it the day I spent in hell). I know I should be grateful to feel so good, but I keep reading/hearing people talk about how awful they felt and how morning sickness is a sign of a healthy pregnancy and it just stresses me out. At my six week ultrasound my doc found a tiny flicker of a heartbeat for a second so I should relax a bit but a lot can happen(or not happen) in two weeks. I guess I should get used to worrying about this little person-to-be because I will be doing it or the rest of my life (fingers crossed), right?
shonarb73 - I'm sure the US will go well! And yes, the worrying starts now and NEVER stops :)
I'm out of the 2ww since AF arrived this morning (with the worst cramps I've had in years, ugh). Next IUI should be Mother's Day weekend -- which would be a PERFECT cycle for a BFP!
I feel the same way. I have had no sickness, no cravings, no anything. I was so scared when I went in today because I thought something might be wrong. Then today while waiting for the results, I had a lot of back pain. The back pain scares me. I have a tilted uterus and read that lots of women with them have back pain, but I also read it's a sign of a tubal pregnancy. I keep reminding myself to enjoy this time and quit worrying. I think I will feel better after Monday when I actually see something, even if it is just the sac in the right place. I am so anxious for the first trimester to be over. I have only told about 10 people because I am so anxious and scared. Hopefully we all have easy pregnancies and the time flies by.
Tomorrow will make you feel much better, shonarb!
I'm with you austingurl! Here's to easy pregnancies and beautiful babies!
Congrats to all of those that are expecting.
I'm getting excited for another round since my vials shipped today and I get to stalk them on the FedEx tracker :) Tomorrow I have my HSG and then IUI's probably this weekend. I decided to go ahead with back-to-back this cycle since I'll still have five vials left.
Good luck nettibug!!!!
No the spotting has not stopped. Baby and I are fine. They think the spotting is from the Fibroid that I have. they will continue to monitor me. They said the baby was fine and we heard the heartbeat on Wed last week when I had my appt. So I am now on restrictions, no exercise (can walk the dog a bit), no house cleaning (hard since I live alone) no yard work, so am looking for a house cleaner etc. Also found out due to the fibroid no C-section must deliver naturally unless the baby is in distress. So we shall see.
Each day is one day closer to delivery.
Austingurl Congrats. Keep the pictures. It is suppose to be from day 1 of AF, but they measured and get a better idea how far along you are. Keep us up to date. The first ultrasound I had was a funky thing. Didn't look like a baby and last week it did. So cool to see.
anissa- I'm glad they said your numbers were good! I'm doing my second trimester risk factors blood draw today.
Good luck, nettibug! Hope, I'll keep sending positive thoughts for next time!
I hope your labor goes well. With my first baby, I wouldn't dilate past 5cm because the fibroids didn't allow my uterus to contact evenly so I ended up with a csection. Right after the surgery, the doc said not to labor anymore because I'll most likely have the same outcome so I've already scheduled my csection. Guess the outcome all depends on the location of the fibroids. If your doc doesn't want to cut you then they are prob worried about cutting through a fibroid which can be a bloody mess.
Good luck with your amnio!
Austingurl - yes, day 1 starts with the first day of AF.
Sorry Hope:( Looking forward to seeing you try again soon. Good luck!
Good luck nettiibug!
Sibling4lala thanks will be back on the 2ww soon, good luck with your pregnancy
When did you start telling people? I have told my mom, sisters, and a few close friends. I am trying to decide when to tell extended family and work? I would like to hold off on telling work until I am 12 weeks, but I don't know if I can wait that long:) It's all I want to talk about these days...lol. I will probably tell extended family this weekend becuase I can't imagine being around them and not saying anything.
austingurl- If you want my two cents, I told quite a few close friends and co-workers (and my immediate family) early, and told work and Facebook around 12 weeks. As a teacher, work also meant my students and tons of parents, so I wanted to wait until I was out of the first trimester. It worked pretty well, and now the cat is out of the bag everywhere. ;-)
Good luck. It is a hard secret to keep, but well worth it.
I order my new vials tomorrow, will look at my 2 options one more time before I call in a little nerve rackinfg seems like it was easier to pick the number donor than to go back and reselect.
Thanks for asking. Finally narrowed down bet 12645 and 12695... need it to be here by Friday 18th.
I know the feeling, last time was busy with work. My tentative plan if I can stay still is read some non-baby books and catch up on TV shows on hulu
or online.
Believing for. BFP on my upcoming iui.
Is anyone on this thread on facebook. ?
Baby dust your way. Keep us posted.
