Hi allika!! Thanks for coming over. I'm so sad to report that megan will not be joining us. She is leaving this site for good.

I keep getting these wierd itchy pains to left left of my belly button. I'm thinking my uterus is in another growth spurt... And from our previous home. ... I rub my bump all the time! ! I love it!

 

[Allika]

I don't blame her. That's too bad though! How did her interview go?

I've updated a few ladies who reached out to me earlier. I'll give the others some time to catch up and will do my best to help notify the others that seem to missing just in case they are interested in joining the new thread.

I'm sorry to hear that Megan won't be joining us any longer. I sincerely hope that she (as well as everyone else still in the process) finds success on her journey to motherhood.

That's totally normal. I got that a lot during the first trimester. I always figured it was due to stretching. I think I got it a little later, but I wasn't making room for 2 babies, either. Try rubbing some lotion or cocoa butter on it to see if that helps. I rub my bump all the time, too.

I'm here!!! I'll miss Megan and I wish her the best of luck!

Thanks for the link. My levels are rising just fine now, so am feeling a bit more relieved. I will feel even better once I hear a heartbeat, but that won't be for another 2 weeks.

Oh my goodness Gingmg you sound like me after EVERY APPT!! Especially in the beginning I'd have this wave of relief after every appt.... That would last for approx 2 days and then I'd start to worry for the next appt!

Also, Postalmom, apparently I am a major bump rubber without even knowing it!!! I've had a few people tell me that they knew I was pregnant before I announced publicly because I couldn't stop touching my stomach now I am conscious of it and I have to physically restrain myself

 

[PostalMom]

Lol. Chickadee.
Ging, the worry is always there. I had a great beta of 1300. Then I had to wait til I was 8 weeks (yesterday) for my first u/s. All I could think about was is there 1 or 2 and more than that was. .. Is the heart beating? I was more relieved to see the heart beats than I was excited about it being twins at that moment. I have another u/s tomorrow morning as I have been released from my ivf study. Yeah!!!!

Great news about your levels!

Ooooh - another ultrasound! I never got tired of those. Unfortunately, I won't get any more unless they have a reason to order one. I guess I have to hope not to get anymore.

Hey everyone. Doctor's appt. today with normal OBGYN. Yay for graduating from the Specialist. Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[gingmg]

Chickadeedee- you were right, one day later and I am back at it......

They said to stop my crinone and vivelle, isn't that early? 5 weeks?

 

[gingmg]

Also, when did symptoms start?

Congrats on graduating! Good luck at your appointment!!

Did your doctor test your progesterone levels? I was on progesterone for 10 weeks, but my RE's protocol was for everyone to stay on their meds until then. I know other ladies here who were on their progesterone for less time.

Also, when did symptoms start?

For me, probably not until about 8 weeks.

AFM, sitting at the lab waiting for my 3 hour glucose test.

 

[cntrygrl]

My Specialist has me on the crinone until 12 weeks. I think maybe as a precaution as I've never had progesterone issues.

 

[Chickadeedee]

I was on Crinone until 8 weeks.... I've not heard of anyone stopping at 5.. Can you ask to stay on it for a bit longer???

Disney - good luck with this beetus test! My 1 hour is the 28th!

Country girl - yay for graduating!!! Although I did feel more "special" at the specialist

Gingmg - I really never had any symptoms except being tired and that started right away. Cramps, and sore boobs I guess, but again, that was kid of continuous.. Never had MS or anything (so don't panic if you don't get any!!).

Had my monthly appt at the OB today - my weight gain so far is perfect so what a relief!! I've been really hard on myself lately and the reassurance was so nice.. Heartbeat is steady at 150/155 bpm!!

I saw that someone got a BFP on the original thread... Should we PM her the new link so she can join us???

 

[PostalMom]

Ya. . Invite her over. . Everyone is welcome! !
Cntrygrl. Yeah!!
I went to my obgyn today. His u/s is not as good as my fertility clinics. But oh well. It's gonna cost me a small fortune. I had to pay 348 today and every month finishing at 24 weeks. Plus the labs and 20 % of anything else. Being a twin pregnancy I figure I only have 3 maybe 4 months tips to work. I'm trying to pay off bills, move, set up my new home and prepare to live off of dh salary. Not good. Maybe when I can't deliver the mail any more I can get a job answering phones or something to keep the income coming. Also I have decided to do cloth diapers this time. I'm looking at so many different kinds. I'm guessing I'll be going with the ones that are 5 each or less because 20 a diaper seems to much. I will also be breast feeding. Now if I can just remember what box I packed my sewing machine up in, I could stay making some clothes and blankets. I don't follow patterns, I just copy stuff. Or wing it. Lol
