@somewhereinnyc – Thank you!! That’s a good idea, but honestly, I’m so afraid to make any change. If we did do suppositories, and something Gd forbid happened (related or not), I would NEVER forgive myself. I’d also probably never travel for work again. LOL

@ittybittybug-2 – Thanks girl! What’s your technique?

@ellis1983 – Great news!! So happy for you!!

@Hopeful_mom – So wonderful to see you lady!! Hope you and the little one are doing well! ❤

@Isthisthereallife i traveled the day after my transfer and was freaking out as well. my doc said it was fine as long as i didn't lift anything heavy so i took less stuff and a smaller bag. i'm also traveling again in 2 weeks. my first pregnancy i traveled a few times during 1st tri and all turned out ok. i also had to give PIO shots that time and i agree practicing beforehand. i'd stand in front of a mirror in a hotel and it wasn't all too terrible. not ideal, but you gotta go what you gotta do!

@ittybittybug-2 yes, beta 3 went really well...jumped from 95 to 451. i have my first ultrasound next week...really hoping everything goes well!

@ellis1983 congrats on a great scan and being discharged from the clinic! You're more than half way through the 1st trimester already, so amazing!

@Tulips29 - YAY! I'm so thrilled to hear that. What day are you doing your ultrasound? Mine is a week from Monday. I had a nice strong rise as well, so I'm debating whether to do one more just to tide me over next week since it's 10 days still until the ultrasound. 😬

@ellis1983 - Congrats on a great ultrasound and 'graduating!'

@Isthisthereallife - I like to put my knee up on a chair (on the side the needle will go in) and then put all my weight onto the other foot. That helps make sure I have the weight off it. It also naturally moves your weight off it when you twist back to jab it. I take a deep breath and then do a quick jab to get through the skin. Then I push in slowly the rest of the way. I know someone else likes to do them lying down, but I found that awkward myself. It might work for you, though, especially if you feel faint at all. You got this!

So excited for you ladies! Huge congrats and good vibes for healthy pregnancies

So I lurked a bit on the Pregnant after Infertility board but it doesn't seem especially busy, especially for 1st trimester. I was wondering if those of you who are pregnant would be interested in a thread similar to this over there? Maybe expand it to a few more months? Maybe seasonal - Winter 19/20 due dates? Something like that? I'd love to keep in touch with your ongoing journeys.

@ittybittybug-2 I think that’s a great idea! Would love to keep up/ share experiences there. I bet most of us from April fet have due date in December/ January..

ittybittybug-2 · May 2019

I went ahead and started the thread if anyone wants to jump in. https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12743364/winter-19-20-due-dates/p1?new=1

@ittybittybug-2 thanks! My ultrasound is tomorrow. I'm feeling anxious since I feel nothing and no symptoms. Although my husband is telling me my mood swings are a clear symptom...but what does he know! lol...If another beta will keep you at ease, you can absolutely request another one. I also don't think I'd be able to wait that long until next Monday. And I saw your new thread that you created. I'd love to join, but will hold off until I get through tomorrow and possibly then one more ultrasound after that. I saw you wrote that you don't feel symptoms either and have to tell yourself that you're pregnant. I feel exactly the same way, although I'm even scared to think that I'm pregnant. Once I feel more confident, I would love to join you on the other side!

FX for you @Tulips29 and huge congrats!

ittybittybug-2 · May 2019

@Tulips29 I’ll be thinking of you tomorrow! I didn’t start having any symptoms with my son until 6 weeks and even those were pretty minor, so I remind myself that. I did make one more appointment for a draw on Thursday. 🤞

Tulips29 · May 2019

@k_mama91 thanks, girl! How are you doing?

@ittybittybug-2 fingers crossed for a great appointment on Thursday! Good to hear I'm not the only symptomless one. I don't recall when I started having symptoms with my son. Although last 2 nights I've been having sharp cramps/pains in my belly. They don't last long and I thought it was indigestion or something I ate. Doc said it's normal. My update in spoiler below.

Just had my ultrasound and at first had a little bit of a freak out because I didn't see anything. But then we saw the sac and RE said everything looks like it's supposed to. For any Friends fans, I had a Rachel moment where the doc was pointing to the tiny dot on the screen saying that's the baby and I couldn't see anything. Now I just hope the little bean continues to grow and we can see or hear a heartbeat nex time.

k_mama91 · May 2019

@Tulips29 ah that’s scary! Its good that your RE says things are looking good though, when is your next appt?
AFM I got to see sweet babe Friday, we’re 10w5d. I’m just eating everything in sight and having crazy mood swings 🤪

Tulips29 · May 2019

@k_mama91 how wonderful! you're almost out of the 1st tri too. did you announce to anyone yet? my mood swings have been pretty bad too, so i guess that's the only symptom. i go back next friday.

k_mama91 · May 2019

@Tulips29 FX for a great appt! Our families know, probably anyone who sees me out too. This bloat is out of control! 1.5ish weeks and I can breathe a little easier!
