Hello,

Just wanted to start a November 2010 due date group...are there any other ladies who just got a BFP?

[Karla]

Me! I'm due November 2nd. How are you feeling?

My first ultrasound is not until March 17th.

[aprilbaby]

Me too!!! Nov 11th! I am in such shock!!! Congrats to you both!

I am feeling very hot and my breasts are very swollen. Had AF type cramping the last week and a half but I feel much better today.

How are you guys??

[smc]

Congratulations ladies!!! I am a member of the Nov 2009 group! November is a great month to be born!

Hello ladies!!

Seems surreal doesnt it? I havent had my beta to confirm but got my first positive prego test on 7dp3dt. I am now at 9dp3dt and they just keep getting darker. My beta isnt until Mar 12th with the clinic but I am going to get one done early with my Fam doctor. Soo....according to the due date calculator I will be due on November 15th. YAY!!!!

[naomi005]

YAY! I'm so excited that we are getting a November 2010 group started.
Karla, I go for my second beta on Monday (a week after my first one), so I'm not sure yet when my first ultrsound is yet.
Aprilbaby, congrats to all of us LOL, I'm so excited...
smc thank you so much, I think November will be a great month too!
And snoah, yes it seems very surreal, I still have a hard time believing that it's actually happening.
I went to Coles on Friday after work and bough a pregnancy journal and 4 different pregnancy books (one for dh lol).

How are you ladies feeling? Any symptoms?

[snoah]

Hey ladies!

Naomi: Good luck on your beta tomorrow! Who is your doctor at Genesis? Mine is Dr.Y although Dr.H did my most recent transfer with this frozen cycle.

Yay to the new preggo books! I had bought some when I did my fresh cycle and finally I get to read them while pregnant! Lol.

I went out for lunch with my BFF and she gave me a card with a couple of cute onesies, preggo magazines and a gift certificate to Motherhood maternity. I balled my eyes out. She is so sweet.

We went to motherhood and I bought a pair of the cutest Camoflauge capri pants. The lady said that they come only in a few of each sizes and they are selling quick so I snapped them up.

Everything is sooooo exciting!!!!

How long after the second beta do they schedule the first ultrasound? Does anyone think they might possibly have two little babes in their belly??

The symptoms I have are just my boobs are a bit tender and I have a bit of insomnia. I was up this morning before 6am. GRR!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!

Hi ladies,

I'm slowly going to step into this forum.. I had my second beta today (125) and I will go for my third on weds. It it so surreal. We have been trying for over 3 years, gone through 4 IUI's, 1 IVF and finally a 5th IUI that worked!!!! We did get pregnant with our 1st IUI but miscarried at 6 weeks. So I don't think I will be breathing normally until our first U/S.


Congrats to all you ladies on your BFP!!

How is everyone feeling???

[naomi005]

Hi Ladies,

Snoah, Dr. Y did my first follicle count, Dr. H did my last count, and Dr. F did both the retrieval and the transfer.
What an awesome best friend you have LOL. Sounds like a great time!

I went for my second beta today and it was 8656 YAY! She said that the first scan is typically at the 7 week mark which would be March 19th, but they scheduled me in for March 22nd.

Dublin. I hear you about being cautious, I'm really paranoid and it's almost like I just keep waiting for the bad news...don't get me wrong...I've been wanting this for so long, and I'm soooooo happy...I can't believe FINALLY it's really happening.
I will feel a lot better after the scan

Snoah, when do you go for your beta at your family doctors?

[aprilbaby]

Does anyone else feel like a walking zombie. I guess I have been through IF SOOOO long that I just cannot fathom what is happening to me. I want to feel happy and positive but it is so difficult. I am having relaly bad headaches from tension.

I think we will all feel more relief after the first u/s.

PRaising God for all our new lives though !!!!

[hockeybabe13]

Good Morning Ladies,

I am going to join this group cautiously. My EDD is Nov 5. I am very nervous and feel like I am going insane. I completed my second IVF and got my BFP. I have my first US on March 15th at 6w3d. My symptoms seems to come and go...well most of them anyways. I feel constantly tired, like I have no energy to do anything. And very mild cramps off and on. The sore bbs come and go. Nausea off and on..but I have also had some vomitting after eating usually.

I am so nervous because my second beta didn't double in 48hr, but then it did double from the second one to the third. Google has been my worst nightmare reading about all the bad reasons why that may happen. I am trying to stay positive, but finding it hard.

Congrats to all you wonderful ladies with yout BFP!!! November will be a great month!

[naomi005]

YAY HOCKEYBABE I'm so glad you're here

I know this is easier said then done, but try not to worry, your ultrasound is just around the corner...keep yourself busy and it'll be here before you know it.
And stay away from google lol.
I am also ALWAYS tired and have had a bit of cramping, but no vomiting.
Big hugs to you :th_abighug

I feel like I can now officially join this group. My first beta today after IVF #1 is 1526 My due date is Nov 11.... first ultrasound isn't until April 1, 2010. I still can't believe. Here's to hoping we are have a healthy 9 months ahead of us!

[snoah]

Hi ladies!

Dublin: Good luck on your beta tomorrow! I hear ya as well, it is hard not to worry about all these things, the numbers, the scans...

Being infertile gives us WAY too much information which means WAY more to worry about.

Hockeybabe: Welcome! And yay to your rising beta!!

Naomi: I went for my early beta yesterday with my family doctor and I just called them and my beta at 11dp3dt is 208! She seems happy with the level although I have no clue if it is high or low for that date. I go for my clinic beta on Friday at 15dp3dt

Bluecactus: Awesome beta! Welcome!!

Aprilbaby: Welcome! When is your ultrasound scheduled?

November is going to be a GREAT month!!

[naomi005]

Welcome blue_cactus and congrats on your

dublin-good luck on your beta tomorrow!

Well, the last 24 hours have been really hard for me. Last night, when I went to the bathroom and wiped there was a whole lot of bright red blood (at least it seemed like a lot), it really freaked me out...especially because it was accompanied with some cramping...when I woke up this morning, there was nothing on my liner, wiped again and it was less, and darker red...and nothing since...it seemed like more than just spotting, but again...nothing on my liner.
Gosh, I thought the 2WW was the hardest, how on earth am I going to make it to the ultrasound? I was naive to think that everything would be smooth sailing after BFP.
I think what I will do is ask for another beta, just to make sure that it is still increasing. Still feel crampy today...hopefully it all goes away, and everything is fine. Didn't go to work today, thought I should take it easy...spent the whole day googling miscarriages....not the smartest thing to do.
God give me the strength!

How are you all doing?

Oh and one more thing...I don't feel like I have any symptoms...other than being tired and emotional. No sore boobs, no neausea, no vomiting, no having to pee all the time...what about you ladies...do you have all the classic pregnancy symptoms?

Sorry, I dont mean to be a downer, just needed to unload...thanks

[snoah]

Naomi: Aw. So sorry you are stressing. That really sucks. Why dont you call the clinic tomorrow and let them know, they might do an early ultrasound for you? I heard that some bleeding is quite normal early on.
Still super stressful. :-(

Stop with the googling!!! Lol.

Dont worry about not having any symptoms you may just fall into the RFL category.
(Really F@cking Lucky)

I have two sons (age 9/10) from a previous marriage and the only symptom I ever with both pregnancies was one at 4 weeks pregnancy I was dizzy when I got up, that lasted about 2 days and then nothing. No sore boobs, no extra peeing, no sickness...nada.

This pregnancy seems to be going the same way (cross my fingers and knock on a stack of wood)!!!

Call the clinic tonight even and leave a message for them to call you. Let them know what happened and how concerned you are.

[hockeybabe13]

Naomi - I am so sorry that your stressing out and having to deal with some cramping and bleeding. How are u feeling today? Did u call your clinic? My clinic gave me this whole paper about bleeding and cramping. Pretty much says that bleeding/ spotting can be normal for a lot of woman. But that you have to be careful of hemmoraging. So if the bleeding doesn't stop and your soaking thru a pad every hour, you should seek medical attention. It doesn't sound like your having that type of bleeding. Keep positive, but definetly call ur clinic and let them know. As for the symptoms, a lot of woman don't have any. Don't worry about not having any symptoms other then fatigue and emotional. Thinking of you today! Keep us updated!

The wait to the ultrasound is definetly worse than the 2ww. I think I am going crazy waiting for monday!

Happy Wednesday to all!

Hello Ladies!

I think I will join you here. After a failed IVF in August, and an FET in December, I am now 'naturally' pregnant! It is quite a shock! According to my LMP, I am due November 4th. I went for a beta today to confirm the pregnancy and the nurse said it is in the 17,000s!

Naomi - We have an ultrasound on the same day - the 22nd! I also bought some pregnancy books today, as well as a pregnancy calendar and Dr. Seuss' "Oh, the places you'll go' - very sweet book. What books did you buy? I hope I like the ones I chose.

Aprilbaby - I am also getting very hot at times, but then the next minute I am freezing cold. My temperature is all over the map. I have tender breasts and cramping on and off as well. I am sure we will all be relieved after our ultrasounds!

Snoah - This is so SURREAL! I cannot believe it! Like you, I have been having some insomnia, but I think it could be due to the fact that I am so damn excited about being pregnant! How sweet of your BFF to buy you those things! (I used to work at Motherhood so I know the pants you are talking about - they do usually go very fast!!)

Dublin - I can understand that you are cautious, but I am sure that everything will be just fine this time around.

Hockeybabe - Just so you know, not everyone has perfect doubling betas. I know that it will work out for you and you will be pleasantly surprised.

Hello to Karla and Blue-cactus as well!

YAY to the November Mommies!!!!

Amanda

[hotmamaoftwins]

I wanna join too OMG! I can't believe that I'm in this forum...My 1st U/S would be on the 30th...Here's to healthy pregnancy and beautiful babies in November!

[Dublin]

Hi Ladies,

Congrats to our new joiners!!!

Naomi I sending positive thoughts your way...Its no fun being stressed

Amanda congrats on the O natural BFP what a beta!!!! If it wasn't natural I would think you are having twins!!!

AFM my beta today was 425 19dpiui!!! woohoo. I'm finally starting to breath. 1st U/S will most likely be March 29th... Symptoms so far are sore breasts, very very tired, and frequent trips to the bathroom.

Is there a possibility that anyone is having multiples?? I had 5 follies with this IUI but with my beta #'s I'm thinking there's just one prefect little peanut..

[naomi005]

Seems we are growing YAY!!!
Welcome Amanda and hotmamatobe

Amanda I did see your post with the pictures of the tests, a HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to you. How awesome for it to just happen naturally...AWESOME!

hotmama, I completely agree...here's to healthy pregnancies and babies

hockeybabe and snoah...thank you. I do feel much better today, I called the clinic and they said that everything should be ok, but I guess we will find out at the ultrasound...no more googling though LOL.

[naomi005]

Dublin, I'm so sorry...I missed you. Woooohooooooo on the BETA.
I'm pretty sure that I don't have multiples...we only transferred back 1 (unless it decided to split).

[snoah]

Wow! So excited with all the new joiners!!!

Welcome!

Amanda: I too saw your pics! What an amazing miracle!!!

Dublin: YAY for your rising beta!! This is it for sure!!!

Hotmama: Welcome!!

Naomi: Glad that you are feeling better. Has the bleeding subsided? I also have Your pregnancy week by week. I really like that book. I bought a journal and a day by day calendar, I havent read those yet though...

AFM, nothing much I am just waiting for first beta with the clinic on friday (I had an early beta with my family doctor). Naomi, does Genesis wait until the second beta to come back until they set a date for the ultrasound?? If they do the ultrasound around 7 weeks, that will be on March 29th for me...

I am pretty sure that I just have one little baby in there, based on my beta levels...
