I'm Throwing Up! Yay - oh hold on here it comes again!

Well, My all day queasiness has finally turned into official Morning Sickness. I threw up yesterday morning and a little yesterday after lunch. I was lucky in the fact that the morning session was mostly water I had just drank. The lunch session was more like gagging. Gross I know.

But I take this all in stride, being sick is a good sign! I am 7 1/2 weeks along so the timing seems about right.

I will "graduate" soon from my RE. I have one more ultrasound, and then it is off to the world of normal OB's. I will be sad to go to a new doc. I LOVE my doc. But I feel like a little baby bird who needs to be pushed off a tree limb by the mama bird!!!!

I have scheduled my first appointment with my new OB in 2 weeks, who I was referred to by a friend, Thanks Cassie! I will be a member of the normal OB club soon. I hope they know that I am a former VIP!!

Nothing really new to report!

Hi all,
Nothing really new to report. I have my next and probably final ultrasound with my RE tomorrow. Since I am 6 1/2 weeks pregnant they should be able to see the heartbeat! I can't wait!

I am still experiencing a lot of nausea! No throwing up yet but believe me I have tried!! Nothing like dry heaving in the morning to get you going!

I have officially been totally caffeine free for a week now. I was under the impression (from all the info in books and websites) that one soda a day was fine since the amount of caffeine in those is well under the "safe amounts for pregnant women". But at my last visit the doctor told me to cut it out completely! So I have done it! I am caffeine free!!! It actually wasn't that bad considering I was only on one soda a day. But now I don't have my little pick me up that would be so nice when I am falling asleep at my desk!!

Oh well it is so worth it in the end!!!!!!! I am trying to enjoy the moments when I feel okay. And when I am feeling like crap (which is more often than not these days) I just remember that a sick momma usually means a healthy baby!! And I remember all of the girls out there who would love to be dry heaving in the mornings - I was one of those girls not to long ago. And I will NEVER forget that. Good Luck to everyone!! And congrats to the ladies who are celebrating their BFP's !!!

My First Ultrasound!!!!


Well, we did it!! We made a baby! It was too early to see the heartbeat but it was just as amazing to see that black little blob!! Wow, and ultrasound that wasn't used for fertility reasons! It is actually classified under maternity. I am in a whole new world!

We have only one in there, but I am so thrilled to be pregnant! I wonder what it may have been like if both had implanted, but I am so focused on being pregnant with this little one that I can't really imagine it any other way!

This feels so right! I can't wait for our next visit to get another look!!!

Hilarious - You MUST read This!!

This is the funniest and truest thing I have ever read!!!!

ODE TO INFERTILITY

'Twas the night before your period and all through the house,not a creature was stirring, not even your spouse.
The tampons were waiting in the bathroom with care,in hopes that Aunt Flow would soon NOT be there.
Your future children were nestled, like dreams in your head,while visions of cramps start to come before bed.
You're sure you are pregnant, your breasts are so ripe,you examine that toilet paper each time you wipe.
But you just might be pregnant, you have all the signs,so why does this test never show those two lines?
And you cry on the floor until you are ill,tomorrow you'll refuse your prenatal pill."
Come nausea, sore breasts, and frequent urination!"
"On weight gain, fatigue and then to lactation!"
We are getting impatient, our clocks start to tick,but each month all we do is pee on that stick.
We know more about ovulation than our family doc,so please fill our womb before our friends newborns can talk!
We thank all of our relatives for those sympathy hugs,but we've spent our whole salary on fertility drugs.
Our spouse has more sex than his full teenage years,but this time he's not bragging to all of his peers.
So before our next cycle, lead us the fertile way,
Happy baby-making to all and keep periods at bay!

So True!

First baby purchase! I couldn't resist!!! It is perfect for us IF girls!!!!
Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry

Wow!

So I did it! I made a baby!!! Well Sean kinda helped I guess!!!

I added the baby countdown! Look at the top of my page, to the right! I will still have to fine tune it when I get an actual due date (for right now I believe it is either March 12th or 13th - so I am just saying mid-March!). So that makes me at about 4 1/2 weeks along.

I am still in disbelief that this is happening to me. I am still of course terrified that something will go wrong but I can't live my life in the what if's! It is just hard for me to accept that I made it! I have been an infertile for so long!

I am really anxious for my ultrasound. It still could be multiples according to the nurse I spoke too. I was really convinced that it would be only one, but my numbers shot up so much, now I am not so sure! I will be ecstatic either way!

Pregnancy Symptoms? Yes!

Nausea - yes (just queasiness for now - thank goodness!)
implantation bleeding - no
frequent urination - yes (but I think this is because I am so thirsty lately!)
headaches - no
breast tenderness - yes at times
back aches -yes but that is from the progesterone injections!

And most of all a positive test!! I still haven't taken a Home test yet. Maybe I'll buy one today for fun!!

Thank you everyone for their support!!!
