Just wanted to update from my US yesterday! Everything was great, 163HB and measuring exact 10w1d! He/she even wiggled and stretched their arms and legs out! I don't go back for 4 more weeks!
Also, since I have lost more weight and still so sick he changed me from Zofran(caused terrible constipation) to Diclegsis. So we will see how that goes. Anyone taking that or heard of it?
Just a quick update. We got our 3rd beta results back today. It was 13,689 @ 19dp5dt and doubling every 53 hrs. Still on the high side, so we will see how many beans are growing. First ultrasound is scheduled for 10/21.
Me: 34, PCD (defective cilia in fallopian tubes), borderline thyroid
@gsancho I hadn't heard of that. They can tell the sex of a he baby through blood work? How early do they do it? Does it take 3 weeks to process? That seems so long.
AFM: first us is tomorrow (yippie!)

@daydreamernyc I think since it's technically a screening test for a ton of other conditions (the sex is just one of the tests run), then it takes a while. They told me 10-14 business days to be exact. You have to be at least 10 weeks along.
Me 33, DH 37 -- TTC since Jan'12 -- Low AMH (0.78) & endo, SA w/ low motility IUI's 1-3 = BFN, IVF converted to IUI 4/13 = BFN IVF 1.2: 8R 6M 4F -- 2 blastocysts frozen, FET 8/15 = BFP!! Beta #s = 445;1,098; 9,545 -- EDD 5/2 -- Team Pink!
jamielynn53 - Diclegis is basically Unisom + B6 (what I'm taking) in one pill (the reincarnation of Bendectin!) Starting the Unisom/B6 definitely made me feel tons better--but some days are still worse than others. I hope it works for you!
This is my first check in! Had an ultrasound today, I am 5 weeks and measuring that exactly. Saw the sac but nothing else yet. Got my third beta and it doubled in 38 hours (1324 on Monday and 4965 today). It's starting to feel real but I'm just so nervous about getting too excited/happy just yet. I go back in 2 weeks at 7 weeks...the wait is going to be so long! My EDD is 6/10/15. Anyway, wanted to officially join the group!
Glad to see so many of you having good news this week!
Had my first US today at 5w1d and it was in the right spot (whew) and she thinks she saw a start of the fetal pole(?). Heading in the right direction. I go in again next week and I'm hoping we'll be able to hear the heartbeat.

This is my first check-in, too! We had a 3rd beta this week and it was 2,484 (from 675 4 days earlier). So far so good. 1st ultrasound is next Thursday. I should be excited but I'm still so cautious and worried.
We are in the process of packing and moving and it's been really stressful. I'm not doing any lifting but it's still exhausting.
And the worst news hit last night: DH was laid off from his job with NO severance. Just finished emptying our savings with IVF so I'm pretty concerned about how we will make it. Prayers, prayers.
@starlightgator so sorry about your husband. Hopefully he will find something quickly.

bears1011: Welcome! They are making me come back for first ultrasound at 7 weeks too. It's only a week and a half away but it feels like forever. Hopefully this board will help with some distraction.
@starlightgator: Welcome. So sorry about your husband. It sucks being laid off, but I'm sure it's worse in this situation.
