:loveshower:
Congratulations Nicole, and welcome! :)
Nic- welcome here! yay, we've both made it over here in September...levels sound good
afm- having my levels checked again on wednesday, just to keep tracking things for now...only 2 weeks now until our first scan...yay!
Thanks ladies, I still can't believe it...I must still be in shock.
Quick question, I had another light pink spot on the toot paper on Sunday and this morning did any of you get this??
Possum, yeah for your scan in a couple of weeks.
I think mine is in 14 sleeps time...not that I'm counting or anything :p
Congratulations Nic :clap::dance: So wonderful to see you here.
In regards to the light spotting, I didn't have any, but I know a lot of women who did and continued with perfect pregnancies. I think that if it is light/occasional then there isn't too much to worry about. If it is heavy and red then you need to get to the doctor/hospital. Your levels sound great! If you are worried, ring your doctor/nurse and check with them. It is better not to sit and stress about it.
Wishing you a H&H pregnancy.

Congratulations, Nic! The shock wears off about the same time the nausea sets in... :rolleyes: May the rest of your pregnancy be happy and trouble free, and the spotting can nick off! Afraid I don't have any experience with spotting like that, though.

Hi Everyone
I will attempt to do personals :lol: Im just so happy that this thread is soooo busy
BW: Hope you REALLY enjoy school hols and find some way to relax and pamper yourself!!!
Nicole: Big Welcome. Yes i had some spotting around 12 weeks and it is quite normal to get a little when your period would have been due, the dr told me as long as its not heavy and not accompanied by alot of pain. In any case its always worth getting checked out to put your mind at ease!
Possums: hope the next 2 weeks fly by, V exciting!
Tl: so glad all went well with your scan, sounds like you have a very well behaved little
bub!
Poppihome: hope your doing ok, thinking of you
Queen: so so happy everything was good with your mum, that is just so scary and a stress you and your mum definately dont need with your little bub on the way.
Shannon: i really cant believe you are still working, you must be totally exhausted with 2 big bubs kickin around in there, hopefully these last few days they'll let you slack off abit i think you deserve it!
BG: Just so great to see you in here, so sorry your feelin so ill though, but like you said its so reassuring, but hopefully the edge will be taken off by the seabands they are really good, but leave you with just enough nausea to know everything is good. Hope the next few weeks fly by till you can get to see that little :heartbeat:
oh how excting we have new smiles!!!
Devon: hope your enjoying the long weekend and the awsome weather, bring it on i say.
AFM: Feelin good espicially with this great weather, roll on summer, but bubs is sooooooo busy i actuall feel very very sore today, did some gardening yesterday and dont know if that brought it on, but my lower abdomen is just aching like i have been kicked (which isnt surprising) DS was never this active, she just doesnt seem to stop! Well it all feels a little boring at the mo with no appointments or scans or tests i hardly know what to do with myself and DS has gone to spend the week with his grandparents, so im lost, will be ok once im back to work wednesday.
Well really hope i didnt miss anyone. Have a lovely day (probably week by the time i get back on here) Good luck and tonnes of sticky vibes to you all
afternoon all!
Nic - welcome - looks like we'll only be a couple of days apart!
not alot of personals today - still trying to get my head around who is where!
just wanted to pop in and post - got a referral from my clinic for u/s today, so called up, and they've slotted me in on Friday - i asked if that was late enough (given i'll only be six weeks or just over) and they said it will be fine - so viability scan on friday! woot - that's so soon! i got the shakes when i hung up - i think scan is the first of the big milestones to get past! DH was so sweet - rang his boss and said "i've gotta be home on Friday for a few hours" then gave me a big hug. he's very excited! took me shopping yesterday (can i say, the gremlin HATES shopping as much as mummy - was so tired and blurgh last night!) - bought some little jump suits and a teddy bear for the baby. he's embracing this so much - it's very cute! he's such a big scary looking fella (BW would probably attest to that) - but he's such a big softie!
scooby- hi there...glad things are going well and you are enjoying the warmer weather
briggsys girl...wow scan so soon, how exciting...good luck... mine is not for another two weeks.
nicole- yay, not long until your scan :D I haven't had any spotting, but I know it can happen and all be OK
tl, nixon, queenh, shannon, janie and butterflywarrior, hello, hope you are all doing well :) (hope i didnt miss anyone)
afm- all going along well....another BT in two days to check levels are ok. Feeling very bloated and some work pants are tight. Have others experienced that in the early days? when did you find your belly started to show?
Possums, I noticed very early on that all my clothes were uncomfortable. It changes on a daily basis though how bloated I feel. From about 6 weeks I couldn't handle the waist of my pants sitting on my lower belly so when I sat down, I had to pull them right up harry high pants style to make them more comfy! I can't wait to get into some comfy stretchy mat clothes!
BG, good luck for your scan on Friday. :)
Nic, I had a tiny bit of spotting the day before AF was due but that's it. It seems very common for people to have spotting, but I agree that if you think something doesn't seem right, or you're concerned to get it checked out. No point worrying yourself silly (easier said than done I know!)
AFM - finally over my bout of tonsillitis...and just when I thought the m/s was gone, it's back again today with a vengence. I have been sick ALL day today and for the first time all pg I have a metallic taste in my mouth. It's horrible. NT scan on Monday and I am now starting to freak out about that, and have been having nightmares. One of them had me on the bed getting scanned and the Dr came in and yelled at me because I wasn't pregnant, and what was I doing here wasting their time?! lol I think it's going to be a long week!!
Hi Everyone
I finally got my BFP last Thursday 25/9 after my first IVF/ICSI cycle and I am ecstatic!
HCG levels were 290, but b/c I had some red clots come out of me during my 2WW, we did a followup test today and levels were 1633!
So the last few days at work, I have done absoluteley nothing as I have been too busy day dreaming :)
I have a 6 week ultrasound next Thursday with my FS, and am due around June 3rd, but I guess that might change after my U/S.
Its been a crazy couple months but I am finally here - :clap: :dance:
Congratulations to everyone here for making it this far, it's an exciting time for all of us!
I will start on personals another day as its late and need a rest.
Luckystrike :clap::dance: so great to see you here! Congratulations on your BFP and welcome to the thread!

Woo Hoo Luckystrike.....BIG congrats again my TWW buddy :dance:
Luckystrike- congrats again and welcome to this thread! A few of us now from the same TWW :clap: I spent the first week daydreaming too and looking up baby websites and stuff....not much productivity at work...lol
megan- thanks for saying you felt the same with the bloating. Hope you aren't feeling too sick.
afm- just waiting for tomorrow's BT and now exactly 2 weeks until our 8 week scan :dance: bit nervous actually thinking about it. I so hope everything is OK
LS :welcome: and :cheer: excellent news
Me had a big day at work a bit tired and I gather there was nothing bad with the NF results as the midwife said I would get a call yesterday if there was from the OB on call so :cheer: Next move 20 week scan :)
TL- glad all's going so well, great to hear.... :dance: 20 week scan...how exciting does that sound!
Hi Girls
Sorry i have been MIA my beautiful labrador put her foot through my laptop screen!!
So many new people in here too, congratulations to you all for finally making it, i hope you have happy healthy pregnancies.
AFM- Had our 8 week scan today our bubbie is 1.23cm long and its little heart rate was 154 so everyone happy except they think i may have diabetes so got to have more tests for that too. My EDD is 14th May, 2008 and i meet with my OB in like 2 weeks...starting to feel real now.
Anyway beds calling talk to you all soon!
Love Bee
Bee- great news about the scan, you must feel happy!
afm...just got today's BT results.... I am now 31DPO and they are 8630.... at 23DPO they were 3860...my IVF nurse says she's happy with that as they don't have to exactly double every 48-72 hours for everything to still be going OK. To be honest, I am worried though as I gues I expected the levels to be a lot higher. Does anything else have any experiences with these type of levels. Also my progesterone is 80 and last week was 120...but she said the drop there isn't a concern, because as long as it's over 30 they are happy. Still, I am worried.
