I am due Jan 10th - I had a MC & D&C in May 2008, so I am very excited to be in the 2nd Trimester!!
Anyone know the sex yet??? I'm due Jan 18th and I get my first sonogram on Thursday. I was wondering how soon before they can tell you...?
Wooohooo!!! This is exciting...most of the moms-to-be are due around Jan 20-21-23...
This is my first and I am due on Jan 10...although I am thinking it could be earlier...as all of my friends did..but hey no woman is the same...so lets see how it goes!
Congrats to you all out there!!!
Hi ladies, Congratulation to you all for your BFP! I had Ivf day 3 transfer on May 7, I got my BFP on January 21th my Beta was 105 on 14 dp3t it makes me 5 weeks and 2day pregnant today, my RE said it was a good number. I will have my 1st U/S on Thusrsay the 28th. My EDD is January 24th. I am on Progeterone oil injections and endometrin inserts, plus heparin and prednisone and baby aspirin. I had 4 M/C in a row related to an elevated anticardiolipin, I am nervous and can't stop thinking I would lose this pregnancy and thank god for this site I can vent to you.
wish everybody to have a healthy happy 9 months.

Congratulations and good for you for being persistant in finding a good doctor! :) Let's hope that you have a beautiful pregnancy with no bed rest! :)

Hi Belly Buddies!!!
I just got a BFP for Baby #2. I had 3 miscarriages prior to having my DD. I had three different OB's for each of those pregnancies...and then FINALLY found an AMAZING high risk doctor for my DD. He was the first doctor to actually care about the fact that I had so many previous miscarriages. (The previous doctors all told me that I was young and it was no big deal)
I haven't had my first prenatal appointment. However, I know I am looking at progesterone suppositories and very possibly bedrest again. I am hoping I don't end up being on bedrest the entire pregnancy like I was with my daughter.
Good luck to everyone! I am so excited to have people to chat with during this time!!!
Hi Everyone, I had some cramping & spotting yesterday, more cramping today. I spoke with my RE today and she's letting me do my u/s early, tomorrow! We may not see a h/b but we'll at least know how many and where they have implanted and whether my lining is holding up. This is nearly the same time I started m/c last time and am so glad the RE is being supportive! I totally understand why rich people buy their own u/s machines, I totally would if I could!
I'm limiting my internet time so I can't obsess about stuff ; ) Here's hoping the little bean keeps sticking.
Welcome to corissaa and docsaf! Wishing you 9 wonderful months.
Update: I am happy to report no further spotting. Not even a speck!!!! Phew!
My nurse said some women experience a little bleeding throughout their PG.
How is everyone doing? I've been blessed, enjoying my increasing BBs! Yeah finally! :)
Feeling bloated and sleepy, oh and my right knee has been paining me. Went to the doctor but I can't do an Xray or anything, just need to rub it with a topical pain relieving creme. Hope it goes away soon.

Hello and congratulations!
I found on Thurs that I am pg - EDD Jan 21, 2010. Me and my DH have been TTC for about a year. We were diagnosed with unexplained infertility in Jan. We did 2 rounds of clomid+trigger+iui - BFN. The last cycle we did follistim+trigger+IUI. It was a roller coaster. I responded too well to follistim - too many follies - and the RE almost canceled the cycle. I coasted, he gave me half a trigger, and in the end I released 2-3 follies. I took a hpt 10dpiui and it was BFN. When I went to the RE 14dpiui, in my mind it was to rule out pg and start planning for the next cycle. Instead, it was was BFP and I go back tomorrow for more bloodwork to make sure that the hcg is increasing appropriately. I can't help but be excited, but I am cautious - my hcg seems so low compared to eveyone elses. So far, I am very tired and crampy. I have had dull almost constant cramps for over a week. I have had the WTEWYE book for about 6 months - I'm so happy to actually start reading it. Good luck to all for a happy, healthy 9 months.
Hello all! I found out on Thursday I am pregnant, with an expected due date of January 20th, 2010. We have a 3.5 year old daughter named Willow who is super excited for her new sister (she insists its a sister). I will just be happy to have an uneventful pregnancy! As of now, I am just crampy and have heavy/sore boobs. I was severely sick for the first 5 months of my last pregnancy, so I am hoping and praying I won't be this time, but have a feeling its just too early to be sick!
Plan on calling on Monday to make my first prenatal appointment!! YAY!!
I have read that other people have experienced this and everything was fine..I know it must be difficult not to worry. Let us know how things went! thinking about you!!!

Hi everyone I experienced some spotting this morning. No blood just pinkish! I am nervous as hell and trying not to cry. I am going to the clinic this morning. Only thing different is that I took a short flight and started Calcium with Vit D. Please send your positive thoughts. Any moms here experienced anything like this? I am only 5 wks. Please share your stories.
Congrats MPA!! I'm cheering for you! I also share your cautious optimism & am happy to lend an ear if you need anything.
BTW, I also like The Pregnancy Book by Sears and Sears-- similar stuff to What to Expect but also good. I've read the "First Month" chapter of 3 different books with nearly every cycle & am so happy that I finally get to move on to chapter 2! I can't wait to see how it ends ; )
Hi and congrats to Evyone. DH and I have been trying for well over 5 years. We got lucky on IVF#4 and are taking this positive result one step at a time. I am so happy but very nervous. It is a blessing to have found this site and to have you ladies to lean on. I'm wishing us all 9 healthy months!
Nickie: I got the book "what to expect when you're expecting" as a christmas gift about 4 years ago and it was painful seeing it in my bookcase. But the moment I got my bfp on May 3rd at 3am or was it 2am... I took it down and opened it for the first time. I've been reading it ever since and it is really helpful.
My first scan is May 26th and it seems so very far away. But this is exciting!
Hi mamaisa, welcome to the forum! I'm sorry to hear about your loss. I didn't make it that far but did get to see the hb before we lost our first. The experience has definitely made me jumpy this time around but I'm trying to settle in and enjoy this pregnancy for as long as it lasts!
How is everyone else holding up? I'm heading in for my 4th blood test on Tues or Wed... I hope things are still looking good by then.
hi ladies congrats to you all!Hope you have a happy and healthy journey ahead of you!Hi im a mom of 2 girls,loss my 3rd at 20wks who woulda been my 1st son.I had to terminate though it was soo hard but knew it was the best because of the life threating condition the baby was facing inside of me...Happy to say 6mths later I am 6wks pregnant again and hoping for a better outcome this time.GL!
I always read the "what to expect when you're expecting" it is very informative on the things that your body and the changes that your body is going through. I always have to buy a new copy every pregnancy and this one will be no different. My miscarriages were baby #2 and baby # 4 and having 2 boys in between so I am trying to stay positive as well as I can!
Nickie-- I am really sorry about you losses, I know what a low point that can be -- it seems to really be clouding my enthusiasm right now. That said, it's wonderful that you've had two successful pregnancies! I'm so glad to have a veteran with us! Any pregnancy books you'd recommend?
Hi again ladies. This is actually my 3rd baby (I have 2 boys and have had 2 mc)...I am hoping everything goes well for all of us!
Hi Cari-- congrats-- your progest # is similar to mine & my RE is happy with it... sounds like things are looking good for you! Yeah!
Hi Agini-- so nice to have another FET here! I owe my acupuncturist a visit ; ) My next HCG is Saturday or Sunday... trying to decide which day since it may be the last test before the first u/s
DH is calling me for dinner.... more later ladies... lots of luck to all of you!
