Praying- since I've been pregnant before I know that I get hit really bad with nausea. With my daughter I was naseous until the moment she was born.
It's going to be a very fun 8 months..

 

[Prayingforno1]

Aww man so sorry to hear that Rebecca, nauseous the full pregnancy I can imagine is no fun.

 

[Myshelsong]

I have little to no symptoms anymore. Except peeing at night, but that could be the progesterone.
Boobs are minimally sensitive, they were bad for a bit but have cooled off... Nausea was only for a couple days and now I feel normal again.
I have my scan today but am terrified they are going to find nothing at all. I know I am suppose to remain positive but I just don't know how lol.
only a few hours to go though so that is at least something.

your ultrasound looks so good, i was jelous we were suppose to have it on the same day!!!

 

[froggyfrog]

I know myshel! I'm sorry! Dh just had such a slow day on Monday it made more sense for him to take off the rest of the day.

Rebecca, I hope your nausea cools down and isn't here to stay doe the whole pregnancy!

My symptoms: I pee on average 4 times a night, I'm exhausted 24/7, I have horrible heartburn no matter what I eat, and the nausea has definitely hit. If I don't eat soon enough I'm doomed for the whole day, the nausea doesn't go away. I gag over EVERYTHING. Brushing my teeth, sights, and smells. And when I over do it, I get dizzy and have to sit down. It took me all day to clean the house because I kept having to sit down.

I can't believe I'm 7 weeks pregnant already! I was 3+4 when I got my bfp!

 

[Rq120]

My symptoms come and go which I haven't been stressing about until now. LOL.
I was super tired last week but I have been feeling pretty good this week. My heartburn has lessened, but that comes and goes. Boobs are still sore. I haven't even given it a second thought until today. I also have cramping that comes and goes, but no spotting so I haven't been worried.

I think I am reacting to the PIO shots. I have patches of rash on my bottom where I take the PIO shots or just below. The itching is driving me nuts. I started putting steroid cream on them and if they don't go away by next week I am going to have to discuss with my doc. I figured if they are still there next week then it has to be the PIO shots.

My hubby has been giving me the shots and I realized yesterday that I'm out of town next Tuesday night and will have to give myself the shot. Suck! It will be interesting just because I haven't been doing it so I will have to contort myself and all that.

My US is next Thursday and I'm really looking forward to it because I'm eager to find out if it is a singleton (and healthy of course). Does anyone have a plan for transitioning to their OB? I only ask because I'm dropping my old OB and will be starting with a new one. I have a referral from a friend so I'll prob go with this OB, but I'm wondering two things.
1. Should I get in to see her to meet her, or just wait until I'm released and referred by my RE
2. Since this is my first pregnancy, am I missing anything by not have early OB appts with an OB (vs RE). For example, am I missing important paperwork or advice that I would get with a first appt with an OB. Will my OB effectively discuss early testing options, etc.
I guess I could wait to see how my US appt goes? I have also thought about calling the new ob's office and asking for their guidance. Any advice would be appreciated.

 

[froggyfrog]

Rq, I would just call your new ob and ask what they prefer. They may have a system set for re patients. I called my ob yesterday and did just that. My RE does a 7 weeks, 9 week, and 11 week ultrasound. Then I'm released. So I made an appointment for week 12 just for blood work and paperwork and all of that fun stuff. I'm not even seeing the Dr that day, but a midwife there in the office.

Wow time is flying-congrats!!

 

[Myshelsong]

Ok just got back and we have a baby!! Or a bean, but super excited. Heart beat is 119 and we are officially 6+1 which is now from the dr. Was unsure with IVF and what they thought I was so very very excited. No picture but I do not care at all.
Phew!!
I have no idea about a OB. We ar getting a referral now that pregnancy is confirmed and transfered back to our family dr until. I can request to go back to the infertility specialist but it is a hour drive in traffic to get there, so thinking might find one closer to home.

 

[froggyfrog]

Congrats myshel!!!! Isn't it such a relief?

 

[Prayingforno1]

Ok so I just got my 2nd beta results back and my numbers have almost doubled to 5,246.8 (i'm now 20dpt) and doc wants me to come in for scan on Friday

 

[froggyfrog]

Your numbers are so awesome praying! I bet you have two in there!

 

[Prayingforno1]

Your numbers are so awesome praying! I bet you have two in there!

Thanks froggy, the nurse didn't say it but I think that's why he wants to do a scan to see how many are in there. I have been working with this clinic and doctor for over 4 years now and he has really been cheering us on so I think he is just as excited as us to take a look inside lol.

 

[rebecca822]

Praying, that's wonderful!
I'm waiting for my beta results from this morning. I have a feeling I'll get them tomorrow because I went to an outside lab instead of my doctors office.

 

[Fern81]

Congrats myshel!! Xxx

Froggy- hope your nausea eases up a bit. Almost weekend!

Praying - wow I'm even starting to think triplets can't wait to hear the news on Friday.

Then next weeks we have a couple of scans right, I must say I'm super curious to find out how many multiple pregnancies we will have on here!

Hugs everyone. It was interesting to read about everyone's symptoms. Seems more and more that I'm not too weird for having basically no symptoms (although I had waves of nausea this morning while teaching my first class, mmmm!!).

Rq- that sounds super painful and unpleasant hun! How long do you still have to take the shots for? Sorry I can't really weigh in on the RE /OB switch, as I reside in a different country.... here my reproductive specialist referred me to an OB in the same hospital to just take over my treatment as from 10 weeks so that's pretty easy.

 

[Fern81]

Fx for your next beta too Rebecca! Xx I know it will be great.

 

[Prayingforno1]

Thanks Rebecca-I hope they call you early! Don't they know we are anxiously waiting on the results? I couldn't even get much work done until I got my results today lol

Triplets-oh my lol

 

[Rq120]

Wow praying, that's a big beta! Glad you get to find out soon!

Congrats myshelsong!

Fern - I don't know how long I'm supposed to take progesterone. Also, I don't know when and how many visits I'll have with my RE. I guess I'll find out both of those answers next Thursday.

 

[rebecca822]
