Well, I'm 5dpo....just slogging through this 2ww. I was feeling pretty hopeful, but my progesterone at 3dpo came back on the low side, so now I'm just kind of "eh". I did have a phantom symptom yesterday - I was really crampy. I was crampy with DD, too, and not at all with the c/p, so I can only hope it's a little embryo snuggling in for the long haul. But, we'll see. I set up my beta for the Friday after Thanksgiving, but I'm still planning to test at home before it - probably 11 or 12dpo. Last time the line was so faint as to be anxiety-inducing at 10dpo, so I'm not willing to test any time before 11dpo.

opps sorry thats not what I wanted to do

GL Shannon!  Hopefully that cramping means good things! 

MOVE ME TO THE TTC CATEGORY!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay!  We are so excited.  DS has been a monster these past few weeks, making the thought of having another really exhausting, but I know this is just a phase so I try not to let it scare me.  Today is CD7, and we decided not to use Femara just quite yet.  We are going to try on our own as long as my cycles are normal, and as long as I think I'm ovulating (based on OPKs).  I decided not to temp for now, too stressful for me.  But my Dr. said if my cycles start to get long, or it appears I'm not ovulating, the Femara is just a phone call away.  Love that man

ijack

Well my doc still hasn't called, but I had a follie check on Monday and they were "ok", a little on the small side but she thought if I O'd Thursday I would be okay, but I'm pretty sure I'm O'ing today so if my doc ever calls me back (she wasn't in the office when I had my scan) I'll ask her about it. Just more waiting I guess.

kamcfarlane

i had a small amount of spotting on sunday after (TMI) sexy time. given that the bleeding was the main issue with DS, it scared the living daylights out of me. i handled it better than i thought i would, but it still sucked. the dr isn't worried given that we know the placenta is out of the way, but it hasn't stopped me from worrying. i have an OB appt on monday and can't wait for confirmation that my little bean is doing well.

9w4d already!

I felt kind of sick this past weekend, but overall, I'm feeling great.  Everything feels normal thus far. 

My next appt is on Tues!!  I'm excited!  I hope we can "come out" soon!

FemmeNat01

Elena and Lucas are sick! I am officially 21 weeks today. At my last appointment, my BP is officially high. We're monitoring and keeping a close check on it. I am still -16 for weight gain (and I only started off at 108 to begin with...) and baby is measuring a bit small so I am on a high calorie/high protein diet. If my BP is still high at my next appointment (Dec 2) she is going to officially dx me with PIH. This just...for lack of a better word, sucks.

njkaren

I had my first ultrasound on Monday. We have one baby who looked good. I have my second ultrasound with my fertility doctor this coming Monday. I have felt nauseaus on and off throughout the day for 1 1/2 weeks. The doctor gave me a prescription for zofran but I haven't taken it yet. I had to take it with my last pregnancy.
