Hi ladies -

It's my first post on a forum - I felt the need to join based on everyone's positivity! This is my 3rd IVF cycle after a tough 2nd cycle (identicals MC at 9 wks).

I received positive HCG results on 8/31/12. (96, but a very early test)... I go for a second HCG tomorrow -very nervous!!! We are looking at a May 10, 2013 due date.

My thoughts are with you all, as this is a time consuming, emotional, and physically exhuasting process!
2 failed IUIs - 2011
3d IVF - Jan 2012 failed
3d IFV - Mar 2012 (identical twins - MC at 9 wks)

3rd IVF CYCLE 5d 2 embryos - Aug 2012
Positive HCG - 8/31/12

Hey Everyone. I didn't know there was a due date forum on this website too! I was in the July/August IVF forum, i think C.J. was in there too? That forum isn't for me anymore, so I joined the may club on Babycentre.ca. This should be good on here too, as everybody should be going through similar things.

My due date is May 1. I find out next monday what is growing inside me! (Single or twins). If it is twins, Im sure ill have an April due date, but we will stay on here for now!

Such a small group, it will grow as september goes on!

Cheers

Welcome ladies! It's nice to see some new names! I know it's still pretty early for all of us but to have support along this journey is huge!!! I just wanted to congratulate everyone on there positive betas and making it this far! Has anyone had an ultrasound yet and been able to see the heartbeat? This is our next step in the journey so we are pretty nervous! 2 more weeks to go until ultra sound! Still we are so consumed with planning for the baby already, I will be so happy once we are in the second trimester!
I can't wait to hear about your adventures!

Hey C.J.

I have my Ultrasound on Monday! Can't wait. I had a dream last night that it was twins. I am indifferent either way, but am fully prepared for twins. Hopefully it didn't go splits and have triplets or quads! Oh that would be such a horrible thing to deal with.

I like that you are so positive. This is my first IVF and my first pregnancy. A lot of people on so many other forums are so "negative" about everything because they have experienced bad things in the past and don't want to celebrate this first 12 weeks. It makes me feel guilty for even thinking I am pregnant! Makes me angry. Even on my non-ivf group thats all they talk about.

I haven't done anything more than buy a journal, but I feel like that was calling the kettle black!

Is anybody growing lots yet? I find it so hard to tell. I definitely feel bigger in the evening, but can still squeak into most of my jeans. I had OHSS so that set me back quite a bit in the size front, but am back down to normal weight.

Thanks C.J. Looking forward to finally being on a chat! I was just lurking in the background before... it's really hard to post when there are so many mixed emotions on the July/Aug IVF. It pulls you in so many directions. Just when you think you want to share, someone is having a really hard time and you don't want to take away from that.

Hope everyone else is doing well on this journey. XO Ash

Okay, so I started lurking the other day. I wasn't going to join just yet, I was waiting for the official test (still pee test, lol) from my doctor for some reason!! I just realized that's silly!

I am so THRILLED to be pregnant!!!!!! I am so excited for all of you also!!! I took my 1st HPT on Saturday, like mama's it was super faint, so took another Sunday (ok, took 3 more on Sunday!) got darker, and another yesterday and it was darker still. I will take one more on Friday, just for good measure :D

Our due date is May 21, 2013.

Leedeebee - I remember when you went out to buy your journal. i was so happy for you! If you think that's bad, I have told my parents, in-laws and both of our siblings :) Also, I bought 2 baby name books today and a maternity shirt that I loved as soon as I saw it! :D

I've said for so long that this time, I am not waiting for 3 months to tell anyone, this time, it'll be known from the beginning. Good thing as I already look rather pregnant. I see a few girls at work looking at me differently. You can see the clogs turning, lol! I will announce there soon.

Congrats to everyone!!! I am looking forward to sharing the next 8 or so months with all of you :D

Congrats prairie boy!! Sooooo exciting! And if there is any TMI on here cause most of us are girls, I appologize in advance! Thrilled you are taking part too!!

KTF! Happy you are here. I am TOTALLY in the same boat as you. We told our close family and friends immediately (they all knew our adventures anyway). I am telling everybody else now too. Partly because I don't think a mc is worth hiding in my world so if that happens people can support us. But mostly because we are both HORRIBLE at keeping secrets! And because with twins I am already looking larger than normal. Grrr! I just won't buy supplies or furniture till later. But already got clothes...(70% off sale).
