Hi ladies! Just wanted to pop in and say all went well. Everything was smooth and quick! I feel a little cruddy but I think it's because I'm having coffee withdrawals! Have a major headache. I'm excited to think I have a little embie in my belly! I'll check in w more tmro.
Good morning ladies!!
Thanks so much for your words of encouragement all
I'm feeling really crappy today, and I am REALLY paranoid that my coworker got me sick. We were chatting a bunch on Monday, then on Tuesday she found out she had strep throat, which is apparently really contagious. Yesterday I had the worst headache all day, then I started coughing. Now this morning my throat is sore and my headache is still there. Ugh!!! Worst possible timing to get sick! I'm really hoping that the cough is just allergies or something passing, and the headache is from no coffee. Anyone know - if I did happen to get strep, would that interfere with my new little embie?
Anyways, yesterday was interesting. I wasn't a huge fan of the acupuncture...some of them hurt more than I was anticipating, then I was all anxious expecting more pain. Wasn't very relaxing. Also DH was there in the room the entire time! Bless his heart he actually tried it himself a little (she just poked him on his forehead/ear). But it was all really cool - seeing the pic of the embryo, then I got to watch the embryologist suck it up into the catheter. All so interesting! It's such a weird feeling to know that I am PUPO. After all the time of trying and wondering, hoping that I got pregnant...now I know I am for sure (at least for the time being)! My test is March 14, so not too far away!
How's everyone else doing on this Friday morning??
I'm sooo excited for you. I'm so sorry you're sick though. If you really do think you may have strep or get a fever, go to the Dr. right away. You need antibiotics for strep and I was told that fevers can be dangerous during early pregnancy. If it is just a common cold, you will be fine. I got really sick while I was pregnant last time (fever and cough) and I can't help but wonder if that contributed to my miscarriage. I will never know but it is always in the back of my mind. So take extra care. 
Fantastic! I'm sorry you aren't feeling so well, though. I think you'll be just fine. Maybe a call to your nurse would make you feel better though. Strep is the worst - I really hope that isn't what it is! Are you going to wait until your beta or do you plan on testing at home sooner??
I am ecstatic and feel like I can breathe a small sigh of relief. Phew. First US is next Friday just to confirm a sac is there. I actually have an US on the next 4 Fridays (I didn't even ask why they do so many). Let's hope they all go well!
My nurse said "don’t push yourself, but you can ‘carefully’ run now. It’s perfectly safe, but I don’t want you to ever think that if you lost the pregnancy it was because of that. So most people wait until they are about 8 weeks or so and in the meantime fast walk, etc…" I'll take it nice and easy but I am beyond happy to lace up my running shoes again. Especially with the nice weather we have been having.
I'm so happy for you.
Hi ladies!!
LadySosa - Again, hooray for you smooth transfer.
Terri - Sorry for the delay in getting your pants! I hate seeing when things get delayed when you are so excitedly waiting for them. I'm sure you guys are so ready for winter to be over. My Mom got 2 feet of snow in Kentucky. Yikes!!! That's a lot of snow for anyone, especially them. Yet, here in Montana we continue to be in the 50/60s and sunny. Sigh. It does make good walking/running weather!
Mrs W - How are you hanging, lady???? I hope you're doing well.
knitgirl - How rude of me to ask how you were doing the other day and then never respond to your reply. Good to hear from you but I'm sorry you've been so sick! I hope that the last few days of feeling better sticks around.
Beagle - Hooray for telling everyone at work!! I'm glad it went well.
moni - Sorry about your fall but glad that it was just your bum that took a beating.
kfs - Wahoo on your great scan!! You're almost halfway! I can't believe it.
sars - That sucks about your leave. Ugh. Maternity/Paternity leave in the country is just the pits.
brighteyez - Awesome update on your follicles. Keep growing little follies!!!
Amy - How are you doing??? Beta is just a couple more days away now.
Howdy to Erin, JCM, and jkb!!!!
My second beta came in at 419!
DH is off on his crazy backcountry ski adventure through the Canadian wilderness. I may not have any contact with him until next Thursday! I hope he stays safe out there. I told him he couldn't do anything too crazy because there was more than just me to think about now.
Oh, and I can start running again!
Brighteyez - I forgot you are in MD too...I hope the weather hasn't screwed up any of your appts.
Booger congrats on your beta! That is awesome. A coworker told me she had scans a lot because over 35 & the infertility. Wondering if that is why for you. I wouldn't care & would love it!
So telling everyone was nice. Two coworkers told me about their infertility (well one I already knew about). I am so free telling people we needed help. I never thought I would be that way. Telling people also makes me a tad nervous since I am still early. But I feel very positive about this pregnancy. Nausea has not settled much. Trying to eat more often & drink more. Oh & telling people brings on the advice. I don't mind...but the advice that bugs me is the "Oh you will." Ugh...you don't know how my pregnancy is going to be. But they are just trying to be nice. I am a bit tired of hearing ginger ale & crackers.
Plans this weekend...road trip to buy baby furniture at Ikea!
But it was messy. I am waiting for them to call me with the estradiol results. Wednesday my estradiol went from 117 to 435 and the follicles were measuring at 11+. Today they are ranging from 11-18 so I am pleased and excited about that . Now I am just waiting patiently.....NOT 
for the call. I go back on Sunday and if all is well I will have ER on the 11th (next Wednesday). I am so excited, again thanks for you all encouragement.

The weather is wonderful LOL. I am ready for Spring but I am enjoying my days off with the school system though.
