Belly Buddies: All Jan 2010 Mommies To Be are Welcome!

I'm hoping this thread will be a good collection point to welcome new members and hear how everyone is progressing...  come on in!

Nothing much to report on my side... had my second HCG today and I went from 60 on Monday to 113 today which is pretty good.  Next test is Sat/Sun.  I'm coming out of a 5-day FET from an IVF cycle in December, this is my first transfer.  DH and I have been TTC for just over 3 years.  I really hope this little one sticks!

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!!

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.

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?
