So exciting coming back and reading all the comments!! Very happy about the transfers and the positive vibes and the gender revieling! So great the group sticks together .
I am still on prgesterone supos. I was really sick and tired all time but a week ago it stopped! But i was happy about that too early- it came back and is even worse now.
I am 9 weeks today and my next U/S is next week. I hope all is fine withe the baby. I am constantly worrying that sth is wrong but i cant change it
@Christiniv I worry all the time too. I have two and a half weeks till my next us. I bought a Doppler though so as things progress I'll be able to use that to calm down and enjoy hearing the LO. There's actually a great groupon for the sonoline c, just know it won't work often until 11wks or so.
I will be 10 weeks tomorrow! I feel like I got the tiniest hint of a belly around week 7, but no change since then.. pretty much still flat.... OB didn't say anything at my appointment on Monday (and for sure she does realize it's twins, even though I'll be going 6 weeks in between u/s! Boo!). We have a meeting with a genetics counselor next week and then will probably schedule an u/s with them for the week after Thanksgiving to go with their blood work tests. So that will be nice to have in between OB appointments. My tummy always hurts a little bit, my appetite is a little off, sore throat, and I'm more tired than usual, but nothing else besides that....
So ladies, I caved and POAS this morning at 8dpt. I got the slightest faint line on a FRER. I took another test on a cheap dollar store htp and also got a faint line. I'm in disbelief. In the more than one year and half of trying I have never seen a second line. I don't think it will sink in unless I get a positive blood test, which is on Friday. I'm going to take a digital test this evening.
@athompson0308 What a BEAUTIFUL photo! So happy for you!!

Lolololol. Omg!!! Do it!! I'm sure it'll work. I have so many reasons I need it to work so I can give DH a good Christmas. Hubby has to be hospitalized for 5 days in December and it ia gonna be a stressful month.

I was diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum....I din't think I had it because I haven't felt the need to go to the hospital from being so sick all the time.... but I guess there is different levels.
@Mclorn I love my baby bump but I never had a flat tummy with this pregnancy and I was solid abs before pregnancy lol. These kiddo decided I needed to get big faster lol. but I am 5'4 and super short waisted when you hear the term nothing but legs 95% of me is legs lol.

@Knottie24173360 ugh! That's awful. I hope it eases soon. I'm really struggling with my constant nausea, I can't imagine what HG is like. FX you feel better by week 13. Enjoy your scan!
@HBamama2B ... I will take some of that baby dance good vibes over here. just be careful not to strain any muscles! Started Lupron last night. Dec 14th can't come soon enough. How are all you pregnant ladies feeling???
Its nausea and vomiting all day everyday.... Its miserable but believe me I am trying to be accepting......Because I am so excited to have the twins on the way.
Plus today we find out what we are having today and Chromosomal testing is done today.
OMG I am soooooo tired worn out really.I actually took today off so that I could rest I know its silly but very true.
Cramps have settled, I realized I was a bit dehydrated from being sick........Fun note got the babies on my Doppler yesterday, I think they felt bad for mommy 178bpm and 174bpm.. It is the first time I have been able to get them both.

I am so sorry you have morning sickness so bad I can't imagine.... definitely good to take days off when you can. Get some Gatorade or some fluids with electrolytes in you
I still don't get how you can find out both genders without amnio...do explain! My OB said they could just tell if X/Y chromosomes are present... what's your testing called?! Enjoy - what a GREAT day!
@Knottie24173360 I 100% feel you. Today has been a huge struggle. I would have worked from home where I could be sick in peace, but one of my coworkers is out and they need me. rest up and feel better!
@Joyzie77 will do lady! Last night I had this bizarre dream that DH lost his memory and I had to take a shot to prevent the amoeba or whatever from spreading before we could fix him. I was nervous but then the nurses said it was Lupron I had to take and I was like 'Oh! I can do this!' And wowed them with my expert needle jabbing. Too funny.
@Knottie24173360 cant wait to see your babies new big girl/boy pics! They grow and change so fast. Hard to believe the first pictures we have of them was just 9 weeks weeks ago and they go from being microscopic and looking like a contact lens to being inches long and looking like a baby. Its insane!
Harmony in our test.... they can scan the twins they just don't normally do so until 14 weeks having twins is cool more scans and opportunities to see them. We see the Perinatalogist today as well so its more like a 3d scan

HBamama2B we will get harmony results the day before thanksgiving so we plan to announce on thanksgiving day about the twins and their genders. I was told the scans would be right even this early but I don't know having DNA results seems more spot on lol.

I called the genetics practice we were referred to and we scheduled the non-invasive blood work with ultrasounds for 11/30! Still not sure what all they will determine but I'm happy to get an ultrasound since it will have been 4 weeks since our last and still another 2 weeks until our next OB visit!
I looked it up on their website and this is what we will have done. Sounds good right?
First trimester screening is a unique extension of a standard first trimester screening test that provides patient-specific risk assessments for particular chromosome abnormalities during the first three months of a pregnancy. These include trisomy 21 (Down syndrome), trisomy 18, trisomy 13, Turner syndrome, triploidy and sex chromosome abnormalities (XXX, XXY, XYY).
First trimester screening is a two-part process involving both a blood test and a specialized ultrasound. The blood test measures two proteins, free beta hCG and PAPP-A, at approximately 11-13 weeks into the pregnancy. An ultrasound is used to look for first trimester markers such as nuchal translucency.

I did but its really small so when I took a pick of it to send it looked blobby... Baby A was break dancing at the beginning of our ultrasound for the NT scan and then we asked for a peek between the legs and course baby a wasn't being shy but baby b only showed her lack of goodies once...

Our identical twins are girls too! Much easier to determine sex with the blood test for identicals. Just 6 more days until I get to see my babies again, at our OB's for the first time. They'll be 12w4d then... last time was 9w4d but it feels like an eternity!
Anyone else doing the home doppler? I find it does put me at ease a bit most of the time.
I love my phone app that is a doppler you just have to be patient with it lol. I actually ordered a fetal doppler I found one for 40 bucks so it isn't here yet

Today is 1dp5dfet. My second transfer. I have been on the lookout for symptoms and I have none!!! Did you guys have completely different experiences each time you had a transfer? Or were positive cycles and negative cycles similar symptom-wise?
@Isabelfuentes2015 I had some cramping around I think 7dp5dt but that was it. I was certain I was not pregnant. if you scroll back like 30 pages I think we all detail our symptoms day by day so you can see more specifics.
@khochanadel I bought the sonoline c! There's a groupon for it that's amazing. It's a high performing one and in happy. Can't find much yet.
@Rachd110 and @Colleen0516 hoping and praying for you guys today! Hope your betas give you your BFPs! @Colleen0516 I have my everything crossed for you that it's positive despite the hpts. Hugs lady!
