Hi everyone,
First of all a huge CONGRATULATIONS to Trudi, that is amazing.  I knew it with those levels.  I am so happy for you and your husband.  You did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have been laying in bed all day except I walked downstairs to thank my neighbor for bringing dinner overand then just to the bathroom.  I will be in bed tomorrow also and won't return to work until Monday and it is all desk stuff so nothing strenuous.  Ascott was aking about having to lay on the table after transfer for 1-2 hours but my place only has you do that for 5 minutes and then you can pee and go home.  The Embryologist said that once they are in they are in.  I don't know if it is the same everywhere.  I am sure everyone has there own protocal.

I go in for my blood test on the 22nd.  So I will be praying until then.  Everyine keep me in your prayers.

Hugs,
Aleks

I am so sorry I missed all of these posts! I have been looking at the new one and was wondering why there was so little activity. If you click on one of our names in blue (Lexi, me or hopefultobeblessed) and go to our posts, you can click on the blue name of the post 5 for 5 gals and it will bring you there.

I am so sorry to hear about your bleeding and very happy that it stopped. I am sure you were besides yourself : ( On the bright side, you got another u/s and got to check on your little one AND see that the heartbeat was nothing to worry about. I have heard about the irritation with the endometrin but never was prescribed them at all. I am on 1.5 units of progesterone shots every night and am hoping that tomorrow is my last day. Maybe the bleeding is from your vaginal wall with the irritation, especially being bright red like it was...

Talk soon and take care.

I cant find the new post.  I am still on bed rest and bleeding a litle bit.  I was on the vaginal endometrin ever since retreivel  times a day.  I think they were irratating me, because yesterday the bleeding completely stopped, and when I put another insert in it started bleeding again.  I am just staying in bed, they took me off of the inserts and increased the progesterone shots to every day.  I think this should help.  I will keep everyone updated.

[sarbear11]

where do i find the new post? I looked under all the other new posts, but couldn't find it.

[Lexi72]

How are you doing today?  I have been thinking about you.  We got a new post!

Hugs,
Aleks

[sarbear11]

How are you feeling? Again, sorry you had to go through that emotional rollar coaster.

[hopefultobeblessed]

LOL!! You are sooooo funny. I was thinking the same thing for a while. Everytime I took a test i thought....."These darn things don't work at all! It can't be just me!"

[sarbear11]

Audrie: I'm so sorry, but glad that everything is okay.  I'm sure you were scared to death! Just take it easy and take care of that baby!

Everyone: Still on cloud nine. Took a hpt this morning. It was pos of course. I was beginning to think that those hpt tests didn't work. :)

[Lexi72]

I am so sorry that happened to you today.  I am glad everything turned out good.  My cousin had the same thing at around the same time.  She was on bed rest for a few days and then all was fine and she is 11 or 12 weeks now.  It is pretty common although it is scary when it happens.  Get rest and I will check on you tomorrow.

Hugs,
Aleks

Big congratulations to Sarbear.
This has been areally rough day for me.  I got up and about 9:00 had some spotting, and by 10:00 it was like a full period.  I was just sure I had lost the baby although it was bright red and I didnt have any cramping.  I called the doctor and got right in for an ultrasound.  The baby is still there.  It had grown quite a bit since last week, and the heartbeat was 139 as of 7 weeks today.  I was measuring around 6 weeks 4 days.  They put me on antibiotics and bed rest.  The nurse told me the ultrasound looked really good, and it was probably just the uterus doing some moving around.  It is really scarry to me but she reassured me it is normal in 1st trimester of pregnancy.  I will keep everyone updated and big congratulations to Sarbear, and everyone 5 for 5.  WHOO hooo.

Sarbear11:  I am due about May 2nd.  I was a week early with my daughter so you never know.

Hopefultobeblessed:  What were your Beta numbers.  My first Beta wa s188 on 9 days past embryo transfer.  Then it was 718 on 12 days and today 10,000.  The nurse said excellent numbers and high but she said hard to tell until U/S.  Just want to compare.

I am starting a new post.  I am going to call it New Post for the 5 for 5.
Hugs,
Aleks

What a great day for news today!!!! I am just amazed that we are 5/5! Talk about inspirational stories!! I am just so happy for everyone and how blessed we all are.

sarbear: the websites I look at most are pregnancy.about.com for belly pictures and I am registered at babycenter.com (I think Lexi is too) for weekly email updates, deals on baby stuff and the questions on the boards. I haven't checked out the pregnancy boards on medhelp but will tonight.

WOOHOO EVERYONE!!!!!

[tbeards]

GREAT NEWS on your beta!!!! I am still wondering if you are having twins too!!!

[tbeards]

YEA!!!!! THAT IS SO AWESOME!!!! Sounds very much like there could be twins!! My number was 246 so you got me beat : )

I was in meetings all day and couldn't check your post so I had my dh look it up during my drive home!

WOO HOO!

[hopefultobeblessed]

I'm due 4/16/09. Most of my websites have been for twins but you never know! With yo numbers twins might be right up your alley. How many did you transfer again?

[sarbear11]

Thanks girls..........I'm so pumped!!!!

I think the u/s will be in another 2 weeks or so. Haven't scheduled it yet.

Lexi: your numbers sound fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay, now I need to know about all the great websites you all are checking out!

Also, when again is everyone due? I am thinking i will be due in mid-may.

[hopefultobeblessed]

I was 5 weeks when I had my 1st ultrasound and have had one every week since except for when I was on vacation. At week 7 we saw the heartbeats. Baby A was at 138 and Baby B was at 136. My next appointment is this Friday and I hope to be measuring 8 weeks. Last time I was measuring 6wks 4days but she said it was hard to be accurate because of how small they were. Keeping my fingers crossed that all goes well.

[hopefultobeblessed]

Those numbers look great! I bet it is twins!!!!

[hopefultobeblessed]

That's AMAZING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm now so happy for you and all of us!! I know you and DH are on cloud 9!!! Let's talk pregnancy for sure!! When is your 1st ultrasound?

YAHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!

[tbeards]

I just bought that book yesterday, so funny! I also bought Twinspiration: Real Life Advice From Pregnancy Through the First Year by Cheryl Lage. I love them both so far from the 1/2 day I spent reading! There are also a couple of websites I found that are good. First, there is Twinstuff.com, which is a website by a set of twins married to another set of twins. The other is Twinspiration.com, which is Cheryl Lage's site (author of the book above). I go in on Thursday for my first ob/gyn visit with my doctor. I will find out if they can hear the heartbeats with the Doppler and will report back the rates if they can hear them. I guess 10 weeks is pretty much the first time they can hear with the Doppler so I may not get to hear them yet.

Take care!

Sarbear good luck tommarrow I know you will do great and get a BFP.  I will be waiting for your post.  
Lexi I know your numbers will be great tommarrow.  I bet you have twins.  This is so exciting.  
Hopefultobeblessed-how far a long were you when they did your ultrasound.  Do you know how fast the heartbeats were.  Just curious to compare with mine.  Good night everyone, my nausia is still horrible all day.  I ordered some of the preggi pops, hoping that will help.
Good night everyone and good luck tommarrow,
Big Hugs:)
