hi all,

miki - sounds rough but I hope you can find some enjoyment from the signals your body is constantly sending to you that you're still preggers. When is your next scan?

ask - yikes, the ex sounds like a peach! why on earth would she be trying to get pregnant while getting evicted? get your life in order, lady.
And re: my thyroid - it was tested awhile ago (I can't remember if it was 1 or 2 yrs - probably 1 yr b/c they were just going through my chart to see if I needed anything updated and came across this) and it was slightly elevated and nothing was done about it. I'm glad they retested it.

I will not be able to get acu in this week before/after transfer - DH is taking the day off and coming with me so I won't make him sit around for 2 hrs of acu, plus all of the stuff at the clinic. So I'll just make my own little zen nest in my head. HA! I don't know what I"m more excited about - having a day off or the transfer itself!
 
Thanks so much for the suggestions, MsR! The nausea is really bothersome. I did get DH to buy unisom and B6 when the nausea started, but I haven't asked the doc yet. I plan to do so if my first scan goes well. I added string cheese to my repertoire of foodstuff I cram into my pocket, and will buy peanut butter granola bars too!

Yeah true, thanks for the positive thoughts, Wish! Feeling crappy may be a good sign :haha: But then again, I've read all sorts of stories where a scan showed nothing there, yet the person had morning sickness. Darned internet!
Oh, too bad about the acu. But great that DH is accompanying you! Hope he brings you good luck! My DH came with me too, and when I went for the session after transfer, he decided to try out acu for himself! He saw how much it relaxed me, so it piqued his interest. My scan is tomorrow... I'm so nervous!
 
Miki - looking forward to hearing about your scan! I had a ton of nausea but no puking like you. The pressure point bracelets they sell at a drug store worked wonders- I wore them day and sometimes night. And back away from the google, girl!!! Hugs.
 
Thank you so much, Wish, Terri and Rain! I'm so nervous. Plus I'm so tired this morning because I woke up with very uncomfortable cramping. And I was queasy almost all of yesterday. The uncomfortableness has taken over my thoughts so much recently that I almost forgot to feel nervous about the scan!

Rain- I haven't thrown up yet, but I have a fear of it. That's why I'm doing whatever I can to make sure I don't get to that point! Thanks for the pressure point suggestion, I've been hoping that it will work for me. I ordered Sea Bands two days ago, I think they arrive today. I have tried pressing the pressure point myself when I remember to, and it seems to quell the nausea each time. Oh yes, I learnt my lesson and stepped away from google!
 
Sea bands were brilliant for me. I still felt sick but noticed when I didn't have them on.
 
Thanks, Spud, I'm "looking forward" to trying out the Sea Bands! Obviously I don't actually wish nausea upon myself, but I have them if I need them. For some reason, I was completely non queasy today. But I've been very crampy since the middle of last night!

Sooo.... we saw and heard the heartbeat! It was 128 bpm. And the little blobby embie was measuring 6weeks 4days (I'm 6weeks 5days). One more hurdle passed :happydance:
 
Wonderful new Miki! That's a big hurdle passed. And of course it's normal for symptoms to come and go -there's pauses in the construction and the organ system takeover process ;)
 
Great news, Miki! Maybe that misery you've been going through will feel a little more bearable today! :winkwink:
 
Miki--Awesome news! So glad the ultrasound went well! And as for nausea making you feel down, the same happened for me. I wanted to be so happy and grateful, but I really felt pretty miserable a lot of the time. It can't help but impact your emotional state, that's what I decided. I beat myself up about it but eventually figured that wasn't making things any better so I just ate whatever I could stomach and accepted the situation. The sea bands didn't help me, but it sounds like they have been helpful for lots of ladies. Enjoy the great news!

Wish--thinking of you as Friday nears! How are you feeling, emotionally and physically? My sister was nervous about the PIO shots, but was also grateful because the progesterone balancing out the estrogen made her feel like less of a "raging bitch" (her words)! Those hormones can really do a number on you!
 
thanks, v!! how are you feeling? still grunting? :haha:
have you guys found a new house yet?

I'm doing fine, albeit a little sleepy. I fell asleep on the couch around 6:15 last night, but only for a few mins. I couldn't stop myself. Then I rolled over from TV in bed around 9 and slept straight to 7 with only just one time up with the kitty. So I think it's either the PIO that makes me sleepy or it's just crashing from work slowly down finally.
Estrogen doesn't really do a number on me, though, like it does for some others. And the shots are going ok - I'm not as expert in them so far, I've had 2 gushers out of 4 shots, so I have to get better. I think it's been my placement - a little too low.

10:45am Friday morning! Just got the call! Emotionally I'm trying to keep it real - they are BBs so lower grade than the others. But I know BBs happen all the time and make it so here's hoping. Also looking for a new job and basically giving hospice care to my cat, so I have lots of other things on my mind too. So I'm a little all over the place emotionally to begin with! HA!
 
Wish--sorry to hear that there's so much that you are dealing with. Sick kitty and job search, those are enough, but then there's the transfer on top of it. Sounds like your job is not settling down enough to want to stick around. Do you have any leads?

MsR--I meant to respond to your post about the fetal echocardiogram. We had one done because my clinic says there is slight research showing a higher rate of heart problems in IVF babies. This is something I had never heard of prior & don't recall it being disclosed at either of my IVF clinics...probably in the small print somewhere... At any rate, the results were normal and the dr was reassuring about the spot seen on baby's heart in the anatomy scan, saying in light of no other heart issues she felt that the spot was not a reason for worry.

AFM--no house yet, losing my nerve about making a big investment at the same time as having a baby (another big investment). Feeling pretty good, just dealing with lots of swelling and really sore feet. Have to go get some compression stockings. Talk about sexy! I just hope it helps.
 
Thanks Spud, Rain, Wish, TTC, Vonn! I was in a very bad state yesterday with nausea and extreme exhaustion, I was almost unable to function. So I haven’t really been in a celebratory mood. It’s so nice of you ladies to feel happy for me!

TTC- Yep, seeing that heartbeat definitely helped me “appreciate” my super uncomfortable pregnancy symptoms!

Wish- I’m so excited about your transfer! I hope for a sticky bean (or two!) for you this time! Definitely get some rest, relax and prepare yourself for the transfer. Then you can revel in the wonderful pampered feeling of PUPO-sity! Oh yes, and good luck on your job search!

Spud- DH is super excited, thanks for asking! He can’t get over seeing the embryo and heartbeat, he still talks about it.

Rain- Hehe, construction. I still remember how you described the little bean building its supporting infrastructure. What a cute image!

Vonn- I feel bad that you felt miserable due to how bad you felt physically. I hope that you feel good now! It is hard to feel “good” when you are in a world of discomfort. I haven’t mastered the art yet! Oh, and I hope that your sexy compression stockings help :haha:

AFM- I tried taking a half tablet of 25mg Unisom and 25mg of B6 the night before, and I think that I was completely knocked out by the unisom. I couldn’t function the whole day at work. I’m not sure if it was the unisom that did it or just my usual pregnancy symptoms, but I tried cutting it down to ¼ tablet last night.

I finally told my boss yesterday. He was so happy and excited for me, almost more that I was for myself! I had to let him know, as it was now getting impossible for me to work like I did before. I’m stuck in the lab most of the time. Also, I work with chemicals and toxic gases, so I have to be careful.
 
def be careful with those toxins, miki! I'm so glad your boss was excited for you. Hopefully that means all the help and understanding you need to carry through.

vonn - yeah, I have one lead. When my company divested almost 2 yrs ago, my boss and a few others I love went over to the new company and have been asking when I'm coming over. Well....I knocked on their door and they are trying to make an opening for me. So I wait. Though I did text DH today and said that I was either going to get fired or quit in the next hour as I was being pinged while at the vet to hop on calls and fix things that went bump right before I left. NOPE. Here I am now, still on the phone at 9:24pm, not really doing anything to help fix things b/c I've done what I can so far. Just supporting the others on the call, I guess...I need rest before tomorrow!
 
Thanks, Wish, I hope so too!

Ooh, your lead sounds great, I hope they make an opening for you. And I hope you're relaxing now and not being bothered by annoying work calls! All my fingers and toes are crossed for your transfer tomorrow!
 
SO, I've been trying to keep quiet about all that has been going on in my life. Here is my dump.

My brother is dying. He has cancer of the liver. He was given 3 weeks to live 3 weeks ago. He doesn't live in town and it's been very stressful on the family.

And then there is this . . . It's both wonderful and stressful.

Thinking of you today, Wish!!!

Ttc-Are you going to see your brother? Has he seen Bellamy? You better get going! Hope you're pregnant again. How exciting!
