@sweetiepie thank you so much it's so nice that you understand how I'm feeling. It's a weird feeling, ha. We had to go to a RE and do IUI/Clomid to get baby #1 (not the same as IVF, I know!) but I just assumed it would be similar if we tried for baby 2... guess not. Lol. It's a good thing, like you said I feel like the stress of having to decide whether to try for another one is now gone, the decision is made for me!

Going this afternoon to get bloodwork at the OB's office. I have been having a ton of cramping all day which doesn't give me a lot of confidence

@MrsADS: I had a lot of cramping very early in my second (successful) pregnancy. It felt like my normal PMS cramps, which can be pretty significant. It prevented me from testing early, because I was so sure my period was coming, and it was so unlike early on in my first pregnancy when I had none of my normal PMS symptoms.

@mdf106 thanks. That's good to know. I don't think I had cramps like this at all my 1st pregnancy.

@MrsADS: My second successful pregnancy also involved tons of cramping. I think I had cramping off and on until week 7 or so. I definitely didn't have that with my first successful pregnancy (or my two intervening first trimester losses between those successful pregnancies). I was told cramping is normal but obviously it worried the heck out of me coming off of two consecutive losses.

Congrats! I had a lot of cramping before my BFP, I swear I thought I was getting my period. I actually had cramping that felt like my period was coming all the way to week 7.

Update... my first beta was 65. The nurse said it is a little low, but it may still be very early, so I am going back for another beta and we'll see if it's doubling. I am not exactly sure when I ovulated -it may have been later than I thought. I don't know. Soooo, I am trying not to freak out/get my hopes up until I get my 2nd beta results. Still having a lot of cramping. The nurse said my progesterone was great (30.6?).
