@Becky: so glad to have you join us! Can you share some of that laissez faire attitude??? Just to warn you us IVF ladies are a little high strung
How will you tell your husband?
-
@yellowbeach: umm I already broke down and showed him the stick
-
@Becky: No no - please do - I could definitely use some advice and perspective about calming down and just sailing through pregnancy. One of my hopes is that I'll be able to enjoy this pregnancy much more than my last two.
I can't speak for @Marfi or @LazB, but I'm happy to answer any and all questions about IVF and infertility - although I never did any IUIs, so I'm no help there.
-
Feeling reassured by my 2nd beta (123-->335). Can we please fast forward to 2 weeks from now when it'll likely be ultrasound time? Anyone ever do more than 3 betas?
-
Ultrasound is scheduled for 10/24 at 9am!
-
@yellowbeach: yay! Seems like forever away but canāt wait!
-
@Becky: welcome over here!
-
First appointment booked for 11/4 when Iāll be about 8 weeks. They gave me an option to go next week but Iād only be 5 weeks and wouldnāt be able to hear/see anything so I opted to wait. I didnāt ask for betas because Iām pretty sure my insurance didnāt cover it when I had a chemical a few years ago and had them done. Iām seeing my favorite midwife from last time, and Iām really excited because I think sheāll be excited Iām pregnant again. My practice doesnāt do an ultrasound until your anatomy scan so that should be around Christmas which will be fun!
I think Iām going to tell my mom this week what with the up and down with tests. Sheās also not really supportive of us having a third (sheās easily stressed and canāt imagine having more than 2 kids), so I want to give her extra time before we announce and ask her how we should tell my dad since this wasnāt super planned. When we told him I was pregnant with DD2 he said āWell, thatās life.ā š¤¦āāļø And thatās despite us having good jobs and a fantastic support systemāhe just couldnāt imagine weād spaced them 2.5 years on purpose (my closest sister and I are 6.5 years apart). I swear theyāre great and I love themāwe just donāt have the same family ideals.
-
@Becky: welcome! Iām curious, they donāt do a NT scan to look for trisomies?
-
@skiierchck99: totally creeping, but I've never been offered an NT for either pregnancy. I also turn down genetic testing, so I don't know if that effects it.
-
Finally feeling pretty preggers - nauseous, exhausted, peeing a lot, which is reassuring but I canāt remember why I wished for this haha. Still not as nauseous as my first but I guess thereās still time. Also reached that point of dye stealing tests (I couldnāt help myself) which is also reassuring. First us is scheduled for Friday am which I think will be 7 weeks 5 days.
-
I didn't get an NT scan with either of my first 2 pregnancies bc I was >35 and eligible for the NIPT.

@Sams Mom: interesting! I donāt know if itās standard or because mine are ivf or what. We had the standard genetic testing to look to see if we were carriers before birth so it wasnāt offered as part of maternal care (unless you meant. Well-free dna?)
-
@skiierchck99: They do, but itās optional and Iāve never done it (or the other optional testsāI canāt remember what they are).
-
@skiierchck99: Iāve always done the testing, even when I was younger and didnāt do ivf, and it was always covered
-
Had to share: accidentally just told my mom. I called my dad because my routine annual bloodwork just came back and two levels that were high can be indicative of leukemia. Both my parents are nurses but heās best at sleuthing it out. My mom answered and she and my sister were talking it through when I happened to google the results and pregnancy. Turns out the levels change during pregnancy š¤¦āāļø Of course I had to tell her I donāt have leukemia and that Iām a whiff pregnant.
-
OK, I'm hoping for the best and jumping in. Grateful to join you all! What a good group. Congrats all around!
Betas are back today and jumped from 41 to 181!
Location: Midwest
EDD: June 16
How far along: Week 5
First child? Yes, if this is the one that we get to meet! I'm going to try to trust in it if we keep going a while. Started infertility meds at the beginning of the year; one miscarriage in March, one chemical pregnancy in August. Hoping for better this time.
First doctor appointment: First week in November.
Any symptoms so far? Lips swelled up. I joked it was a pregnancy symptom and then broke down and googled it--who knew? The rest is pretty boring, extra sleep, feeling a little adverse to coffee.
Who have you told? Just my partner. -

@breakouttheicecream: Yaaayyyyy! I totally understand being guarded this early on. This month of full of ladies with infertility and loss, so I think you are in good company in terms of understanding those fears. Congrats again! Will you find out the gender or be Team Green?
-
Hi ladies!
I just realized I included this info in my first post. Apparently last week was a blur! went in for a beta last week, and instead of a second blood draw, my doc wanted to do an ultrasound due to my MC. I so appreciated this! My hcg put me around 6 weeks and there was a sack and yolk visible, so 6ish weeks was confirmed. This pregnancy has already progressed further than the last, so I was very grateful to know that before I went to a wedding with college friends this weekend.
8wk ultrasound is next week.I'm feeling awful today - nausea, light headed. Could be from travel and a turbulent landing yesterday, but I'm thinking this is reflux like my pregnancy with DS. Since I had no nausea with the preg that ended in MC, I'm thrilled to feel like crap!
-
@yellowbeach: Your positives and early numbers have been so exciting to follow! Very happy for you. Thank you for this kind note!
@bunbun: Congratulations on passing that mark! Hope you don't feel too awful. Have a good time at the wedding!
-
@breakouttheicecream: Thanks! We had a blast at the wedding. I shared our news with the friends we were staying with and it felt really good to be "out" even though I'm still feeling to cautious to really celebrate
-
@BUNBUN: That's great news! Such a hard first step to reach, I'm sure you were delighted to make it there. Were you on time with LO#1? Wonder if you'll be a late May baby or an early June baby?
-
@yellowbeach: DS was born 2 days early, so I'd guess "on time". DH's bday is May 28, so they could have the same bday. (Though, my friend has 4 kids and her last was almost 2 weeks late while the others were either on time or early, so who knows?)
-
Ultrasound set for 10/28! My hcg went from 119 to 299, so far so good
-
@LAZB: Excellent news!!!
-
@LAZB: exciting news!
-
@BUNBUN: My birthday is May 28th too! I love having it then because it often falls on a long weekend.
-
Iām taking the leap to join this board as we have our š¤ that the 4th time is the charm for us! I admit itās still difficult during this early time but Iām going with being cautiously hopeful and taking each milestone at a time.
Location: Tacoma, WA
EDD: June 23
How far along: 4w2d
First child? Yes!!! Lost a little boy due to T18 at 18 weeks earlier this year so we are praying for a different result this time.
First doctor appointment: in the next few weeks. I had an amazing doctor as part of my team earlier this year and she is going to continue to provide me care for this pregnancy. Sheās making me an appointment in a few weeks to come in and run the tests and potentially have an early scan.
Any symptoms so far? Breasts are so tender and some mild nausea starting to develop that comes and goes.
Who have you told? DH and my BFF. Waiting to tell my family - think wonāt tell them at all until we know things are progressing fine. They are sweet and would welcome our little baby but are definitely worried about me going through another loss like the one with our little guy. So it makes me less inclined to tell them anytime soon. -
@MrsJBeeG: Welcome! Wishing you
for a sticky baby.I have my first us tomorrow, eep! At 7w5d. If we see a heartbeat I will tell my mom and brother and maybe a couple close friends. And maybe work bosses who are all womenās fb will get it.
-
@MrsJBeeG: Welcome!
@skiierchck99: tomorrow!AFM, at 7 wks the bloating and nausea have hit HARD. I'm wearing dress pants that are a size up and just had to unbutton. This does not bode well for keeping this secret until 12 weeks!
-
@BUNBUN: it hit HARD for me the day I turned 7 weeks, too! Also, I still look pregnant from the last and if I relax my tiny. I look like 6 months š¤·āāļø
-
@MrsJBeeG: Just lurking and I am SO happy to see you here! Congratulations and I hope this is your rainbow baby
-
Welcome @MrsJBeeG!
My first appointment is 11/4 and Iāll be 7 weeks. No symptoms here really. Iāve had some mild nausea and lots of bloating yesterday, but nothing today. That makes me nervous but I try to remind myself I didnāt have nausea until after 5 weeks the first two times.
-
@MrsJBeeG: so glad you made the leap!@skiierchck99: good luck tomorrow! Fingers crossed for a nice strong heartbeat!
@BUNBUN: sorry youāre not feeling well! When I got dressed this morning I thought I looked pretty cute, but I caught my reflection a couple hours later and totally have a bloat bump lol. That isnāt necessarily due to pregnancy for me though, my stomach is always a little pregnant looking lol
@Becky: Definitely still early for symptoms! -
@MrsJBeeG: also de-lurking to say congrats!!!! so many fx and
for you!!!
-
@skinnycow: thank you, you are so sweet for thinking of me, posting and hoping with me.
-
@nwm: and thank you for de-lurking for me.
!!! I adore my Hellobee friends and all of their support. It means so much as this road can otherwise feel lonely at times.
