Pics of the test/announcemen/& or chart: no pics, but i do have our first u/s pic! (and try not to be jealous of my awesome paint skills haha)

@littleredhairedgrl: I am 7 weeks as of yesterday. I am a runner too, but I've been told that I can't do anything besides walk until after the first trimester. I am dying to do some sort of exercise!

@PastaAndPotato: I am so glad that you joined us!!!! We are date twins - and both have IVF babies! I am so excited for you!!!

I've been lurking for a few weeks, but finally joined:

EDD: 7/2/14

When Did You Find Out?: 10/24. I was very suspicious that I was pregnant (acutely sensitive to smells), and took a test on 10/22 (the same day we closed on our house!) that was negative--such a bummer, I wanted it to be the best day ever! Then I meant to take another test on 10/23 because it was supposed to snow, which I consider a huge good luck sign, but when I woke up it was just raining and I couldn't hold it long enough to wait for it to switch to snow (literally twenty minutes after I peed, haha). So then 10/24 was when I finally got my positive!

Child Number: 1

Where You Live: Ohio

What kind of provider will you see?: obgyn

When's Your First Appointment?: 11/18

What kind of birth do you want?: hospital, with a baby at the end

What You're Most Excited For: all of it

What You're Most Scared About: This is ridiculous, because I am 28, but to tell my mother! She wanted us to wait until we lived closer to family, but our jobs are out of state right now.

Symptoms so far: nausea but no vomitting, acute sense of smell, FATIGUE, sore boobies

@tejbee: @PastaAndPotato: @irishmama: @HLK208: @kml636: Welcome and congratulations to you all!! I'm so happy for everyone!

@runnerd: Middle TN below Nashville! We've been in TN for about two an a half years now. Where are you?

I have another new symptom and I'm not quite sure how to describe it...my breathing is not as fulfilling. It feels like more of a struggle to get oxygen, like I'm congested and stopped up, but I'm not.

@PastaAndPotato: congrats! Love seeing the little bean already

I'm behind!!!

@PastaAndPotato: @kml636: @irishmama: So glad to see new faces joining!!

Ok ladies, I am over the moon happy right now!!!!!!! I have been suffering some pretty insane anxiety the last day or two over worries of another m/c. So anyways, the Dr I will be seeing is my BFF's doctor (she's 30 wk). At her appt today she asked a question for me which led to my new dr (who I haven't met yet), ordering blood tests for me on Thurs and Sat to get my betas and progesterone checked, and confirmed she will do an ultrasound at my 7wk appt. I am just so relieved. She said if there are any issues with progesterone she'll put me on supplements. I already know I'm gonna love this dr!! Please be praying for me to have good beta results!

@runnerd: YAY!! Sending you positive, sticky, sticky thoughts!!!

@PastaAndPotato: @irishmama: Welcome!
@runnerd: YAY what a happy post! Glad you're seeing an OB who is on the ball!

@kml636: I'm so excited to try accupuncture! An accupuncturist (?) moved into the suite across the hall from my office last week, talk about great timing! Glad to hear you had a good experience!

Things are still going well over here... feeling like I have to snack more often to keep my blood sugar up but still no morning sickness! Beta #2 should be back later this afternoon or tomorrow. Fingers crossed everything is where it should be!

@PastaAndPotato: awww love the ultrasound picture! congrats and welcome! @irishmama: so glad to have you here! congratulations!

@runnerd: Sounds like you have picked a great Dr.! Glad everything worked out on that front. I think I have finally narrowed my list of care providers down and have chosen one -- here's hoping I like her as much as you like yours!

@thismustbetheplace: FX!

@runnerd: So happy to hear your doctor has such a proactive approach! Knowing you're with the right doctor is an awesome feeling. And how exciting to know you'll get to see your baby on an ultrasound soon!

@thismustbetheplace: I've also been noticing I need to eat smaller, more frequent meals to keep my blood sugar stable. I typically don't have problems with this, but I've been all over the place the past few days! The first advice my mom gave me when I told her I was pregnant was to snack all day so I didn't get sick -- I guess she was right!

@littleredhairedgrl: TWINS!!!! WOW!!! Congrats!

@littleredhairedgrl: Holy moly!! Congrats!!

@littleredhairedgrl: YAY!!! Congratulations, friend!

thanks ladies!!!! we are super excited (and of course overwhelmed) by this news we were hoping for twins

@mellybelly i am SOOOOO bloated i swear i want to go out and buy all maternity stuff already.. by the end of the day i look like i'm way past 5 weeks!

@thismustbetheplace thanks! my second beta was this past monday at 808 and then yesterday went to 3160.

twins don't run in my fam either, but we were doing injectables so there was a chance (which i was hoping for!)

@mellybelly: so exciting having an ultrasound pic, I'm so ready for mine!

And yes!!! I'm only 5.5wk, and I feel like I've been eating decent, yet my clothes are not feeling too comfy

@justdarling: I loved target's maternity tanks!

I just bought a pair of mat. leggings and pants since this is my third pregnancy and I was completely showing by 10 weeks last time (it took around 20 weeks to show with my first) so now I'm worried I'll pop super early. Also, all of my maternity clothing with my first were x-small's and I really tried squeezing into those for awhile with my second pregnancy - so uncomfortable!!

@princessandthebee: congrats again! I think most doctors won't confirm pregnancy with betas unless you have previous complications or have spotting symptoms prior to first appt.

@princessandthebee: congrats and welcome! My doc doesn't do betas unless there's a problem or a history of problems. But I'd call and ask you doc -- I'm sure each one does their own thing.
