Hellobee Boards

@sweetooth: Yayyyy!!!! Congratulations!

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Thank you! I'm hoping for doubling good news this afternoon.

@marionberry: I guess there's always a chance, given the fertility treatments. But I don't know!

When did your RE "graduate" you back to your Ob/Gyn? I'm worried that when that time comes I won't be able to get an appointment and kinda want to schedule one to have on hand, just in case?

@sweetooth: I was thinking they'll either send me off after my 8 week appointment on the 14th or have me back one more time? I wish I knew! Maybe it's worth calling my ob/gyn now anyways...

@sweetooth: Woo!! That's amazing!! I called my OB. First receptionist was not the brightest. I don't think she really understoof what I was saying. I spoke to her manager who was going to schedule me but then something happened at the office and she asked to call me back. So now I'm waiting. Ugh.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: I feel like my insurance has a time period - like 11 weeks I *have* to be gone from the RE? I can't remember. I go to the RE at 8 weeks and was able to schedule an appointment (u/s?) with my ob/gyn the following week. They wanted me the week after but that's Thanksgiving and I'll be out of town. So two in a row, I'll take it!

@LindsayInNY: I graduated at 9 weeks and was seen at 10 weeks by my OB I think.
@sweetooth: Congrats on great betas! When will you get your first u/s?

@lazypanda: Oh really? Was your RE somehow affiliated with your ob/gyn? I don't think they would go that far to schedule everything for me. But I do think I can stay with the RE until 11-12 weeks according to insurance?

@sweetooth: good luck with your ultrasound! Are you excited about the possibility of twins?

@LindsayInNY: my RE is in the same medical office & hospital as my PCP and OB. They have access to all my health records which made it really easy in getting labwork done & appointments scheduled. My RE & the nurses also told me that even while I am pregnant and have questions or concerns, I can always contact them.

@sweetooth: Such great news!

@Happygal: My son was breech and never flipped (despite a failed ECV). It's definitely a different feeling in your belly I'd think than head-down moms face. Do you think you'd try to deliver vaginally if breech or schedule a C-section?
@sweetooth: Can't wait for your ultrasound! Great beta numbers!

@sweetooth: woohoo for the great betas!

@Happygal: @FaithFertility: your due dates are coming up so quickly! I'm excited for when DH can feel baby.

For those further along or 2nd time moms, when did you start feeling baby? I'm 15 weeks & yesterday kept thinking I felt a rolling movement so I pressed on my growing belly & felt it again. I've been telling myself that it must be gas or maybe my pulse since I shouldn't expect to feel baby this early.

@marionberry: oh no. If she remains this way, it will be a c-section for me. I don't know if my hospital would even allow me to try, to be honest! Will you be going for a VBAC this time?

@faithfertility: sounds like she's already an obedient child! How long of a maternity leave will you be taking? Are your students always touching your belly these days?

@lazypanda: I just thumbed through my pregnancy journal to help me remember.....at 17 weeks, my OB thought I would be feeling the baby move all the time, but I wasn't sure that was the case. At 19 weeks, I was certain that what I was feeling was the baby. It was like a rolling sensation. I think this timeline can really vary!

@Jenn23: wow, time is moving quickly! I feel like you just announced here two weeks ago. Good luck packing--moving is a huge event!

@Happygal: hahah she is a silly babe
I took my FMLA w/ sick leave for 12 weeks but with Christmas break and spring break it brings me back April 10th soo I decided to take a short leave and take the rest of the year off! I am so happy with that choice!
I have a few kiddos that ask about the baby and rub my belly..it is so sweet
How are you? Is work kicking your butt?!?!

@lazypanda: I haven't scheduled my date yet. Given that they're twins, they always schedule the c-section by 38 weeks but they often come premature, so at this point we just wait and hope they go towards full term and then when we get closer we'll schedule the c-section.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: Do you have a doppler? If you can't feel baby, that will definitely soothe any fears. Hearing the heartbeat is great!
@fotolori1: I got pregnant on IUI with clomid with my son, but I had many friends here on HB who were unsuccessful with clomid and then got pregnant very quickly with injectibles. I'm hoping that's the answer for you. Sorry to hear about your cycle.

@marionberry: yay! I do hope you are able to get to full term!

@FaithFertility: it was a lovely story of hope back then for me! I think hearing stories of IF ladies getting pregnant after so many months of trying is always so uplifting.

@Mrs.Pinecone316: I'm excited for you to feel baby soon! Have you already had your anatomy scan? Also I read that by 20 weeks, you might be able to hear baby with a stethoscope.

@fotolori1: I've already responded on the IUI thread, but I do wish you the best with your upcoming IUI cycle! FX you'll get to join us on this thread! oh & I believe HappyGal got pregnant on a injectables IUI cycle.

For everyone on here, a little late, but all gap maternity, baby & kids sales/clearance items are an additional 50% off until tomorrow! I actually picked up several maternity shirts for $5 & work appropriate poplin shirts for $15!

I also saw my sister in law today & oh boy, she's 3 weeks ahead of me with #2 & my belly is so much bigger than hers! It really makes me think I still have a shot for twins. I really can't seem to shake this feeling. DH says I'm crazy for thinking that since all our ultrasounds showed one. He said everyone would be stupefied if we end up with twins at this point. We saw his godmother the other day & she wondered if I was having twins! She said either I might have twins or I am going to have one big baby!

@brownie: wow! That must have been a real shocker! Did your sister have any feelings about carrying twins? At my first 2 ultrasounds with my RE, she said that I should not expect to show until I was about 5 months along given my weight & height. All my aunts, both maternal & paternal, have asked if I might be having twins as they did not show until much later. My mom said she wore her regular clothes until about 6 months! I just can't seem to shake the feeling though (or maybe I'm being irrational & it's all wishful thinking).
