Hi Everyone

Sorry havent had a chance to log on lateley, too tired after work to do much.

Possums, I am so sorry you have been feeling a little stressed lateley, but sounds like things are perfectly on track so try npt worry yourself any more.
Last time when I was pg with DD, I did the HPT and then went to my GP who basically did the same thing and didnt even do a BT! Wrote me a referral for my obst and sent me on my way.
This time b/c I went thru IVF, there seems to be a lot more focus on BT's. Actually my clinic seems to be less focused on that compared to most others. I never got any BT's during my IVF treatment to measure hormone levels, etc.. and only got 1 BT to test for pregnancy. Then ONLY b/c I had bleading a week after ET did they do another test. So I have no idea what my levels are now, however my FS did one the other day so we'll find out on Monday.

Yesterday I got my 6 week u/s and was quite happy. Everything is where it should be and we saw the little heart pumping away. My FS didnt go into too much detail about size and heart rate, and just said everything was just as it should be, and repeatedly told me that he was very happy that I was PG. He is very nice. He also got me to do a BT just to make sure things are on track, and after hearing Possums story I am nervous. To be honest the U/S was great, seeing it all made me happy, I just hope the BT doesnt confuse matters.

Anyway in a couple weeks I am off to see my obst and that is it with my FS and IVF clinic. I think it will feel good to seperate myself from it all and just feel like a normal pregnant woman. I read somewhere that woman who conceieved thru IVF are more stressed during their pregnancies then women who conceive natuarlly, and now having done one of each, I have to agree!
The process of getting PG is so much more stressful that when you are, you dont even want to think about anything bad happening, whereas with a natural conception, I guess you dont really know how lucky you are and dont think about it in so much depth.

Anyway, how is everyone else feeling? Hope you are all well and will make an effort to log on more often next week.

I have been feeling nauseous for the last 3 days. I just feel really horrible. Havent thrown up, but feel tired and ugly all day. Am looking forward to it passing, just hope it doesnt get worse, before it gets better

Oh yes and I think it was possums that recently mentioned somethign about the bloated stomach. I cant explain it but my stomach is sticking out and nothing fits me right any more. Not sure why, its way to early to show yet people have questioned me already. Perhaps things will settle soon, even with DD I remember bloating out right from the start.

Anyway everyone have a loveley weekend, will try to log on over the next couple days but have a busy weekend lined up so it may have to wait until Monday.
