* 1st Tri Checkin - 05/11/2015 * Come on in!

marnief · May 2015

{It looks like the last 1st trimester checkin was a couple of months ago, so I'm happy to restart it.}

This is a weekly checkin for members in their 1st trimester. Congrats to everyone that has made it to this check-in! Feel free to post your updates here until your 14th week. Please post below and include your EDD and how many beans you have. Welcome!

How far along are you this week? Any appointments or other updates?

QOTW: Did you do anything special for Mother's Day yesterday?

marnief · May 2015

I'm 5 weeks tomorrow, haven't even spoken to the doctor yet (she was on vaca last week when I called) so they haven't even scheduled my first U/S yet. So, no idea on the # of beans! EDD is 01/12/2016.

No symptoms whatsoever. Same as last time, which makes it less scary. I remember wishing for morning sickness so I'd at least feel pregnant.

QOTW - my DD is 9 months old, so we celebrated Mother's Day. It was actually also my birthday, so it was a double celebration. Sat night we went out for dinner and to the symphony, yesterday we took my MIL out for high tea. We haven't shared the news at all yet, so I was glad we had other reasons to be celebrating the day.

Hello

I am 5 weeks 2 days! My first Beta was 9 days ago at 243 and my second was 518 ( I think it was around there but it had more than doubled )

My first scan is on Thursday! We had 2 5d blasts transferred! FET after a failed IVF in March we transferred again in April

I live in Rural Africa and am British so it wasn't Mother's Day to me! Instead I was studying for my last to exams to finish my long distance degree course which means I get to graduate next week!!

Symptoms: I wanna pee and sleep! A lot and food just isn't doing it for me as it used to I was expecting glourious cravings but instead everything is not really satisfying! I am glad I don't have mad cravings as I live in a tiny village so getting anything elaborate would be tough! My MIL comes in 10 days for a visit and is bringing Marmite which is my favorite and am so excited for that!

I am 5w2d as well! We only had one transferred back in, so unless that one split, we're assuming just one nugget which should be due 1/9/2016!

I've been VERY thirsty and VERY tired. Not to mention the sore rear end! I was lucky in that my progesterone was healthy enough at my last beta that the RE was OK switching me to the suppository. I go back for the 3rd quant tomorrow morning, fingers crossed the progesterone stays up and the hCG kept doubling(should be around 6180) I have started to get the queasiness/food aversions, so I'm hoping that's a good sign

Even though the family knows our story and its progress up to now, I didn't want the recognition of being wished a happy Mother's Day... I'm still in the "what if it doesn't work" thought patterns and I just wouldn't have been able to handle it demurely. We spent the day with family, and it was fabulous the way it was.

Hello. 5w4d. I had 2 6D transferred. Have my first US on Thurs where I will be 6 weeks. Cautiously excited. I put my transfer date on the online calculators and it said I was due on Jan 7th 2016.

Symptom: Tender boobs, gas, veryyyy tired

QOTW: I locked myself inside my apartment after 2 people wished me happy mother's day. Didn't want to jinx everything

Congrats everyone!!

I am 27 days out from a 5d FET, so I believe I am 6w4d. We transferred 2 embryos, although I had some bleeding 3 days ago, I am hopeful they are both still sticking in there. My first U/S will be next Thursday 5/21. I assume I'll get an official due date at that point. For right now the online calculators say New Years Eve.

Drove 3 hrs on Mothers Day for blood work bc I was bleeding. Spent the rest of the day worrying I was having a miscarriage. Didn't find out everything was ok until 6:30pm so the day was shot at that point. Just watched movies and laid in the couch all day.

Ok. This makes me sooo sad. I'm officially in my second tri today and wished for a place to check in over the last several weeks!

MrsBwIVF · May 2015

So happy there are so many of us at this stage of our journey together!

We are 6w3d after two embryo fet last month. Had a scary few days after a heavy bleeding session last week, we were sent in for an early u/s and they found a subchorionic hematoma and two healthy heartbeats! Luckily, I ended up pushing out most of the clots from the hematoma and had an u/s yesterday showing it was almost gone and the babies were safe, had grown and had stronger heart rates, 122 and 124.

I've had lots of ligament pain and stretching inside, most likely due to both the babies and the hematoma. I have not been very tired but have sore boobs, gas, extreme thirst, constantly peeing, and food aversions. The mere mention of certain foods make me begin to gag which is very worrisome as I didn't think it would happen that quickly since I never had it in my previous pregnancies. I also cannot wait to switch from progesterone injections to the suppositories as I currently have to drive with a pillow to ease the pain. But, since my bleeding was recent, I'll have to wait at least 2 more weeks.

Due to my hematoma, I was on bed rest for 3 days, including mother's day. This was fine by me since I don't like that holiday yet since we've had years of disappointments. So I spent the day being waited on by dh while watching Netflix and cuddling with my fur babies.

Anxiously awaiting our followup next Tuesday as it'll put us over the 7 week hurdle our previous pregnancies have yet to pass.

H&H 9m to everyone!

emikat · May 2015

Hi. I'm tentatively checking in. I had a FET on 4/28 and betas so far have been good (109 8dp5dt, then 252 10dp5dt and finally 801 13dp5dt). I'm now in the waiting period for my ultrasound which will be 5/26. It seems like forever away. I'm still kind of in denial that this worked and it'll probably take the US to make it sink in. But I guess that puts me at 4w6d today? Wish I could have the scan next week!

Mother's Day was also my birthday. I celebrated with friends at our house.

kbeck008 · May 2015

I'm about 6 weeks 2 days. We ended up with only two good embryos frozen and only one survived the thaw so we are so excited this one stuck! Still cautiously excited but had my first ultrasound on Wednesday and saw the tiny blip and flutter of a heartbeat! Didn't end up with a pic to take home so I'm anxious for our next ultrasound on the 29th!
Been soooo tired as well, sore boobs, thirsty and hungry all the time! Luckily only slightly queasy when I don't eat but would almost rather have more symptoms just to know things are good!

Happy baby dust to all

MummaWoods · May 2015

Hi ladies – I live in Victoria, a Southern state of Australia. My husband and I have been married for 9 1/2 years and were recently successful on our third attempt using ICSI with a frozen embryo. It still seems very surreal apart from the constant morning sickness – and by all accounts that's a good sign! This Tuesday we go to our seven week scan and I'm so excited to see my baby's heartbeat! The specialist doing my scan is the same gynaecologist who one and a half years ago did my endometriosis surgery – so she has been on the journey with us the whole time.
I look forward to staying in touch :-)
