Success after IF

obsessed while waiting to feel pregnant

I am 5w0d today.  I feel great.  I want to go back to running.  I want to feel sick and miserable so I'll feel reassured.  I am losing my mind.  The REI's instructions (I commuted from another state) said to have an ultrasound at 7 weeks.  That seems like forever.  Luckily, I have an OB friend who ordered another beta today - 2148, up from 233 5 days ago.  She said we can do another on Friday and then she'll try to scan me at the end of next week to see what's cooking.  She is saving my sanity.

Am I unusually anal, or have other people felt this way?

    Totally this! I don't remember feeling anything until m/s hit at 7 weeks with DS1. I didn't even make it to the 5 week mark with the twins before I felt like total poop and I would gladly have taken a couple of extra weeks of feeling good.

  • This is my 4th kiddo...tickers got lost on my siggy.  I've felt crappy the last three pregnancies, so I'm expecting it again, but so much is at stake this time (last time DH wants to do IVF, we are getting old, larger age gap between kiddos, no frosties.)  I think I am over-analyzing, but I would much prefer some physical reassurance ;)

  • I think its weird that they didn't f/u your beta of 233 with a repeat in 48 hours anyway. Since your friend did it, you had a great rise. I think I had my first sono at my REI's at 5w6d, so I think 7 weeks is a little late when you've dealt with IF & you need to know for your own sanity! I will say it was difficult to see anything at 5w6d but I did see a heartbeat flicker so that was reassuring. 

    I had my first positive beta yesterday, I go for my second tomorrow. Its been snowing where I am and if I need to ski to my REI's office or ride a frigin' snow blower I will, I need to know if this beta is rising- so you're normal! Or we're both anal, either way, its fine, lol.
