There is a girl named Gracie2009 that got one baby.

I am so happy for you.

[Guarded_Optimism]

Well, I am 8 weeks and 1 day and had second US today.  Everything is perfect.  Baby is measuring appropriately and we saw the heart beat, which just took my breath away and brought tears to my husband's eyes.  It is so amazing.  I am actually starting to believe this is really happening.  We ahve been so used to bad news, it is hard to know how to react to such great news.  I have to continue all my meds, synthyroid, baby aspirin, prometrium, prenatal vits, and colace, but that is no big deal.  I will do just about anything to get this baby!  We are transferring back over to my OB/GYN on 2/5/10, which I am happy for but said to be leaving my RE and his satff.  They are such amazing people!  I have been experiencing mild fatigue, generalized nausea throughout the day until night time, nipple tenderness, headaches periodically, and weird food cravings and eating patterns.  I can't seem to figure out what to eat and when to eat to help with my nausea and hunger and carvings....so I am experimenting.  Am I the only one on this board that is having only one baby?  There are so many twins, I can't recall if anyone else got successfully pregnant with just one.  Let me know if you are out there and continued best wishes and God's blessings to all of you who are pregnant and your little ones, and all of you who are still trying.

I was just telling someone today that I felt like I was zoning out while standing. LOL.
I'm hitting a few cravings and my eating pattern is crazy!! My dr. just upped my folic acid for the twins sake. ugh,,,more vitamins. Better safe than sorry!! :D

[nicolebfats]

Hi Rebecca- I'm good. I'm always tired. I feel like I can fall asleep standing up. Lol. I went to the dr Monday and my twins are doing great heatbeats are strong. The dr said that they Now see a third sack with half yolk. She said that there is a 99.5 percent chance that it will absorb into my body and s 5 percent chance that it will become a baby. It's kinda nerve recking. But she said not to worry. I have to go back next Tuesday for another u/s. We'll c. I can't wait til I'm out of the first trimester. How bout you?

[Justpacking]

Hey there Nicole, I'm 8.5 weeks along and I'm feeling pretty good!! a tad nauseous but nothing I haven't been able to work through. I have 3 kids of my own, 17, 13 and 10(going on 11) I"m a first time surrogate and the parents are ecstatic. And to be honest,,,I'm a tad scared. lol. But I hear that its to be expected when carrying multiples. And how about yourself? :D
~Rebecca~

[nicolebfats]

Justpacking- congrats! How exciting. This must be a good luck forum. So many of us are having twins. How are you feeling? How far along are you? You said your daughter? How many kids do you have?

Susan- congrats on your twins! The muscle pulling is starting to go away. I'm now 8 weeks and besides a little nausea it hasn't been to bad. I shouldn't speak too soon. Huh? Lol.

[Justpacking]

So glad to hear that your starting up again!! Yay YOU!!! :D
I can't wait to hear how things go.

Lots of love and luck!

Its still sinking in,,,,I woke up this morning saying "Omg,,TWINS" My daughter heard me and started laughing. lol.

Good luck to you all!!!

Hi Everyone,
I haven't been on in a while.  Glad to see so many BFPs!!!  Congrats to you all!  And so many twins!!  I found out recently that we are also having twins!  I am 7weeks today, and have my second u/s on Thursday.  I can't wait.

Nicolebfats - I also feel like I am pulling a muscle in my stomach when i sneeze or stretch!  I haven't had terrible morning sickness yet, but I feel like it's getting worse.  A good sign though, right?  ;-)

[DocR]

Welcome to the board. If you have not already, start another thread looking for cycle buddies. That is what I did here to get this started and it makes the tww a little easier. The support from these forums is vital (and helps our hubbies too cause they get tired of us fretting about the tww) =) So glad you joined and best of luck to you!!!!!

[nicolebfats]

Hi Ready. The actual cycle as far as the retrieval and transfer is gna go by really fast. It's the two week wait after the transfer that's gna suck. Unfortunately, that's the worst part seemingly for everyone and there's not much you can do but wait. Good luck and tons of baby dust to you.
Nicole

Hey gang I would love to join in this awesome group.
I see from reading above that there is alot going on!
Congratulations to all the ladies carrying twins! That is amazing!
And to those that aren't yet, you will be soon since you have such great additudes!

I am 44 and just sarted my meds for my IVF cycle. I have 3 and a half weeks til the retrieval and 5 days after that the transfer.

Do you have any ideas for on hobbies to take my mind off of IVF? Ideas please! :)

[Kricket212]

My friend has 4 kids & was vegeterian but Dr forced her to eat chicken for the protein...you should think about doing it too.  

[mommie2b]

Nicole...Yes, these are my first! I'm excited. It's perfect because I'll be 38 this year.:-)

Doc...hope you feel better. No sickness for me yet. I'm just extremely sensitive to smells. And I don't like the taste of food as much as before. LOL!!. Strange I know. I can only eat half of everything because I start focusing on the smell. This doesn't help me any because I'm a vegetarian. I need all the calories and protein I can get.

[Enough2356]

congrads to all of you.  Is anyone starting IVF IN Jan,

[nicolebfats]

Minu- good luck with everything, hope all goes well.
Doc- I am experiencing extreme nausea but fortunately not piling ---/ yet. I have my fingers crossed. Hope you feel well. Do you feel like your pulling muscles in your stomach when you stretch or sneeze?

[minu01]

Hello All,

Here is an update for my next cycle. Went to see my RE today and probably going to start birth control from tomorrow for I guess 3 weeks (my nurse will call me tomorrow for instructions) and then Lupron. I am not sure if I try this month on my own ? Is there any chances of success or Should I continue with my birth control pill from tomorrow? My RE said we should start BC from tomorrow. Hope all go well this time.

Good luck to all the ladies who is going to stat IVF, IUI's or the ladies who are on 2WW or going for 1st or 2nd U/S. Also who are further along in their journey of nine months. Good Luck to all!!!

Love you all.

Samreen.

Three sets of twins on this forum...can you believe it?
Are you all so nauseated? I can hardly stand it, but trying to remain positive! Hard to work when I keep having to excuse myself from patients so I can puke!

[nicolebfats]

Omg! Mommie- congrats that is so exciting. Twins! Yay!!! Are these going to be your first? I can't remember if you said if you had other children.
Nicole

[mommie2b]

Well Guarded and Nicole, we are the around the same time. I'm 6 weeks and 1 day as of today. I learned we were having TWINS too! Congrats again ladies...

Minu01 ...I'm glad to hear you moving forward but sorry about the m/c.

to all..wishing you tons of sticky baby dust!!

[nicolebfats]

Hi Guarded! I am sooooo tired all the time and for the past 3 day I've been experiencing nausea all day long. But I can't even complain. My husbands funny, he has been really sleepy too. He says that he feels like he's the pregnant one. Lol. But yeah we definitely have to keep in touch.  

[Guarded_Optimism]

I am so happy for you.  I am just trying to relax and enjoy this moment but am really excited for our second US which will not be until January 18 (8 weeks and 1 day).  I am 6 weeks and 2 days along now.  We saw a lilttle flickering/fluttering on the first US, but were not given the opprotunity to hear the heart and the RE stated it is just too early to see and hear the true heart beat.  I am so jealous that you were able to do that.  Only 1.5 weeks to go.  Do you have any symptoms yet?  I am feeling pretty good, mild fatigue and tender breasts, but nothing really bad,  I am so ready to be out of the first trimester and the danger zone.  Good luck to you.  We need to stay in touch as we are so close in our pregnancy dates.
