congrats on the twins drsquid.

 

[Chiles]

Once again congrats on the twins squid!!!!

And I am not trying to be rude, but I really hate hearing such horrid news as such listed above. We are already nervous as crap...and I don't think that post belongs here. Its sort of like out the blue. We try to uplift each other here. Not scare each other and bring them down. That was not okay.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

What post? Did I miss something?

 

[notoptimistic]

Chiles: I did not feel the same way about my post, but I removed it because I can see it rubbed at least you the wrong way. Despite how you may have felt when you read the post, I am not mean spirited and had no ill intent in writing it. My friend's story of raising his son on his own after losing his wife (for reasons completely unrelated to infertility) is in fact one of triumph through difficult times. He's doing a terrific job raising his little boy on his own. Every child is a blessing, and twins are a double blessing, and I believe it is ok to point out the fact that even raising one child on your own can be difficult so I understand how twins may seem overwhelming. That being said, I am in some other threads on here if anyone is interested in reading (or avoiding) my posts in the future.

 

[drsquid]

im sorry i missed the post\. as you all know twins was certainly NOT what i was going for and while i cant bring myself to root against one of them, it isnt the ideal situation either

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

AMP- Congratulations!

Nicker- Congrats on the job op! I'm sorry it makes the mom choice so much harder!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Sorry, but I have to agree with not2optimistic ladies. Things happen and sheltering yourself away from any near mention of it is simply denial. Enjoy being pregnant and live in the positive mindset but don't shut out life because some of it is unsavory. I am happy to support everyone out there, including friends I have who have been facing failed IVF, IUI, having eptopics, complications while pregnant. I'm close to giving birth, joined third trimester yesterday, and that doesn't bother me to hear in the slightest. What will be will be and I knew the risks getting pregnant. That is a very rare thing to have happen but that man deserves a medal and our awe for what he's been through.
Just my two cents, don't be offended by it pls

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Chiles- based on how your feeling, I will caution you to avoid the first trimester section. It's a lot of panic and negativity on there. I was overwhelmed by it in that stage as well. Just my advice based on what I've read

 

[Chiles]

I have been avoiding the 1st tri thread...and yes I do know pregnancy is a life threatening situation all together but who wants to sit and talk or read about it. Not me. Its a section on here for all that. Maybe I was getting a little to much in my feelings but that's my opinion. I didn't want it taken the wrong way. But the posts weent from good news to bad out the blue. I am sorry nonoptmistic about your friend truly...that's soo. Sad. Hope no one is mad at me. But its how I felt.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

No sweetie! We are all hormonal emotional messes, wether ttc or preggers!
I understand the feelings, I just think hiding from it won't help either much.
No blame here ladies. Just talk it out, we will all do just fine, no matter what fate throws our way!
As for the first tri thread, just create your own thread stating its positive talk only. Ppl generally get the message.
As for you dr squid, you will do fine with twins. Once you connect with them you'll be shocked how you ever thought of twins as being too much. Though...I'm sure you will have those days where you think you were mad for getting yourself into this. Trust me, one child does it to you as well. I'm thrilled for you!

 

[Chiles]

to everyone!!!!! Back to the drawing board and cheering on for more BFPS!!!!!!!!!

 

[AMP26]

I need some support ladies. My first beta was a 38.9. My second, 72 hours later was 76. Today, I should be 4 weeks 5 days and my beta is only 183. My doctor told me to prepare for a miscarriage. I started spotting earlier so even though my beta is going up and even doubling, it looks this positive might not stick. I feel like I need a miracle.

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Oh Amp, I'm sorry to hear they are stressing you out like that. Don't know why they tell someone who should not be stressing something like that. I think you just need to relax and try to be positive. Just take one day at a time and trust that things will work out, whichever way they go. I have you and your bean in my thoughts and prayers. How much time was between the 2nd and 3rd betas?

Lowest reported beta for 4w5d is 13. You may below the median but your numbers are increasing.
Did your spotting stop?

Oh amp I have my fxd for you.
My beta was only 170.3 at 4 weeks we did not do another for a week and it went up to 2420. I am now 8w 3d and it seems everything is going well. I hope you have the same results!
As for the spotting I have heard that you can spot near where your af should have been. My ER doc said as long as the bleeding/ spotting is not really heavy and painful it should be OK.
Wishing you all the best and truly hope you get positive news at your next apt!

 

[AMP26]

There was 60 hours between the second and the third. And he's not going to do another one until Monday! I don't know how I'm supposed to stay sane until Monday! I left work today after the call. Just kind of left. Didn't email any of the bosses. Just told another secretary and walked out! And I'm not entirely sure I'm going in tomorrow. I just want to lay as still as possible and will this baby to stay!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Take some mental health days. That's part of what sick days are for.

 

[Blue eyes 81]

Totally agree with hopeful! Take the time you need.

 

[fertilesoul]

AMP: I'm sorry dear. Are they also checking your progesterone? I agree with the other ladies, take it easy and have hope. As long as you are not cramping or in pain, your betas and spotting can be very normal. My goodness, I bled so much with my last pregnancy (it was as heavy as period bleeding at 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 12 weeks and 16 weeks, and would last 1-2 weeks). Spotting can be stressful but also very normal.

 

[daydream]

Amp. I'm thinking of you and hope beany is getting comfy. Keep us updated.

 

[L4hope]

Sending positive vibes your way amp!
