Hi

[juana105]

I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Joanna, I'm 38 (almost 39) years old and got pregnant by IVF.
I don't have children yet so I'm really waiting for this one:)
According to Medhelp calendar I'm 5 weeks, 5 days pregnant with due date on December 23rd.
I don't have too many symptoms yet, just sore breasts, a little bit of nausea and extreme hunger.
This coming Friday I will have my first ultrasound and can sit still;)
I hope everybody is doing great and your babies are growing fast:)

Thanks for the message Joanna. I will keep checking on you.

Everyone: Best wishes for lots of baby dust, sticky vibes and babies in all of your futures!

Hi Amy,
Im at work and keep looking at the clock..lol...Cant wait to get out of here...But as far as the blood clot goes...they didnt do anything for it, they just said it has to pass through. So i shouldnt be alarmed if im bleeding that much again, with huge clots..sorry TMI! But I was scared bc I didnt know what was happening. When I went for the follow up last Monday he told me there was still some left in there so it may pass through, so ive been waiting for it...lol...Sounds crazy!! I will update you guys after my ultrasound today!!

WantobeAmommybad- I hope all goes well at your ultrasound tomorrow.

I went for an ultrasound today b/c my DH is going out of town Monday (my original date for u/s). One baby, heartbeat is 130 bpm. The other sac was there but they did not see any cardiac activity. Praying the singleton stays with me.

Joanna- Still praying for you!

aww that stinks....well tomorrow will come soon enough!  I'm sure everything will look great!!  What did they do for you for that blood clot?  That is scary.  Can't wait to hear about u/s!!

Hi Juana,
Im so sorry to hear that. But you are right miracles do happen, and its not over until the good LORD says so. So hold onto your faith, and hope. You are in my thoughts and prayers..

Amy7875- Congrats on the heartbeat, perhaps when you go back the next time there will be some thing in the other sac. I had my first doctors appt with my regular OBGYN yesterday, and was a little disappointed when I left there bc I was hoping to get and ultrasound just to see how the they were growing etc. Instead I got to have a paps smear and other tests, and then got referral to go to high rick doctor, bc of my age and im carrying multiples. I do go tommorow for an ultrasound so im anxious to see..It will definitely ease my mind, considering my last appt was bc I was bleeding so much I thought I was having a miscarriage, but then they discovered a blood clot in my uterus. So I havent had and ultra sound since last Monday. I will update everyone tommorow. Its at 12:15. Congrats again on your baby or perhaps it may be babies.. :)

Joanne and 34 momma - my heart breaks for you guys.  I know exactly what you are going through.  My second ivf there was no fetal pole or nothing.  I did wait for it to miscarry naturally Joanne.  They wanted me to take some drug that would start it but it could cause really bad cramping and I was too scared.  It took a while but it eventually happened.  I am praying for you girls tonight!  

I feel bad sharing my news but I know you would want to know.  There is one baby in there with a heartbeat!  She didn't have a doppler hooked up but she said probably 130-140 beats per minute.  You could see it flickering.  There are 2 sacs but the other sac was empty.  My doctor said there is a slim chance that something could still happen with sac #2 but she highly doubts it.  I will have another u/s in 7-10 days to check on it.
