June Babies

September 29, 2008

Well, I wanted to continue the string of our exciting BFPs. There seemed to be a whirlwind of May BFPs, and I'm certain all the positive news and baby dust being shared contributed to now the June babies. So thank you to the May mothers-to-be for spreading the joy!

So if you got your BFP in the past couple of weeks, please join this thread.

My story in a nutshell:

I think I'm due in the first week of June. I've been TTCing for a year. Did clomid, femera, provera, IUI w/HCG, temping, accupuncture...was completely devastated that none of this was working, so DH and I took two months off from the treatments and meds. I was about to start IUI again but when AF was a no show, I thought I needed to be put back on provera again. However before I called my RE for the prescription, I POAS and the faint BFP showed. I was in complete shock to say the least, until I went to my OBs last week and they confirmed it.

Congrats to all the ladies that have posted BFPs.

Bump...I know there are a few LOL

September 29, 2008

hey everyone!! yeah i think in due between 30may or 15th june, depending if i count from last af or ovulation. i go to get ultrasound on the 13oct, to count the sacks and hopefully see the heartbeat! i guess they will be able to tell me a proper due date but looking at size of bub? my boobs and nipples are sore and biggeer, im going to the toilet more and im tired, every now and again i have a wave of nausea, but its pretty good. i also get an achy back it im on my feet to long and CM in creamy and sometimes very watery! im nearly 6 weeks and already feel like my lower abdomen (were pubic line starts) it pushing out slightly, but im prob just seeing things.lol.

Thank you Laura Marie.

Hey Jules, yeah, I'm suppose to be due either the last week in May or first week in June. Can't wait to hear how the ultrasound appt. goes for you.

I've had the same symptoms. I've also been craving salty and spicy foods, so my friend thinks I'm having a boy. I guess it's an old wives tale, and sugar cravings mean it's a girl. I've had creamy CM too, which I thought was weird but read somewhere that it's normal to have discharge during pregnancy. The boob thing really hurts. Not that I'm complaining or anything...LOL

BTW, Are you still taking prenatal vitamins?

I go in for an ultrasound this Thursday, so I'll let you know how it goes. All the blood tests came out good so far.

Keep us posted!

September 29, 2008

I hope to join you ladies in a few weeks! If I get it this month, I will be due around June 24....lets hope that happens!!!

September 29, 2008

sending you lots of june babydust laura marie!!!

what week ultrasound will this be for you LC? doc didnt get back to me yesterday about bloods so that mwans it was all ok.

i started taking blackmores pregnancy vitamins just before ovulation and continue to take them daily. im also taking extra thyroxine, for my thyroid. we will have to post our bump pics to! ill have to figure out how to do it first.lol

September 30, 2008

Hi Laura Marie, just read your journey. My hubby had the same issue - low/borderline morph but high count (not as high as your DHs though - wow, over 100 mil? Can you believe it just take one! LOL) Anyhow, so be positive because it can happen. We're all rooting for you this month. What DPO are you?

Loads of baby dust to you.

Hi Jules, I don't know how many weeks I am. I think that's why the OB wants to do an ultra sound again this week. Last week she could only see a sac, so she's hoping this week she'll see more. I've read some other posts where the OB won't do an U/S until like the 10th week. Im definitely not that far along. I think my OB and nurse are just excited for me and want to make sure everything looks okay. So, they want to monitor my beta numbers and everything else.

I'll definitly try to figure out how to post pics, so we can share bump pics!

September 30, 2008

LC- I am on CD14 today and got a peak on my fertility monitor this morning. So I should be ovulating either today or tomorrow. Not quite in the 2WW yet but very close!! We were floored with DH's high count. Too bad there all retarded LOL. But on a serious note, my doc is not worried at all. He says the classification they used is really strict and with the high count he dosn't think we'll have a problem. I am on my 2nd round of Clomid so hopefully it works.

September 30, 2008

Well then loads of fun BDing this week! Yeah, the urologist for my DH was also not that worried, they used a strict SA test too called the Kreuger method. It's way more strict then other types. You are one your way!!

October 01, 2008

Well, I had my first bout of morning sickness today. It came out of nowhere. I was just making breakfast and had this sensation to gag and I ran to the toilet and just started vomitting bad. I hadn't even eaten anythign yet. Gosh, I thought it would be too early to be having morning sickness yet. Anyone have bad morning sickness 5-6 weeks into their pregnancy?

Well, I go in for an U/S tomorrow and more tests. Will post about it tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well. Sticky glue and baby dust...

Hello All... I've posted my story in a recent post.... so I won't repost. I go tomorrow for my 2nd blood test... will know more then but as for now my hcg level yesterday was 327 and my hpt the night before was def BFP!!! So I made a point to ask my RE the date of the transfer what would be my due date or how would I calculate it, I found this ivf.ca website that said it would be June 8th and other sites have said June 7th - my retrieval was the 15th of Sept... So I'm HOPEING all goes as planned and I'll have a June baby(ies) too. I'll know the date of my u/s tomorrow if the hcg level is still looking good.

Best Wishes and Good Luck to you all...

My son (whose almosto 10) I didn't get any morning sickness with him other than just hated the smell of cigarettes and fast food. Never visited toilet in that way... I've been waking up the past two days (since I've known) not feeling prego or anything... brushed teeth with no gag reflex... BUT usually around 2-3 I begin to feel like poop :-) my head spins and it only helps when I put a cold hand or towel on it, my nausea is getting worse day today - not visted toilet yet but smells are really setting me off - I'm at work and some guy who really stunk from BO about made me run to sink :-( He's gone now and I'm doing a bit better... Monday and Tuesday I had light spotting and it really worried me bad... it's not happened today though. YEAH! Boobs are now really tender and sore... weren't so much Monday. Ive had a friend of mine keep telling me she thinks I'm having twins... and I told her some of the stories I'd read about here and the hcg levels of others... she thinks mine is high and that may be because of multiples... not really sure - never paid attention to hcg levels in the past, just now understanding all of that. NE One know about that? or could narrow that down... I could just be a day or two ahead of others right? I think last week Wednesday was the day of implantation... I had minor cramping and a bit spotting that evening and the next morning, it went away until this past Monday.

K, I'm rambling... I'm excited too about getting to communicate this way... I'm soo glad I've found people who can relate :-)

October 01, 2008

I'm due June 6th!! Just 4 wks & 4 days along--very excited. We've tried for 20 months, had 2 m/c, and 5 rounds of Clomid. I'm still a little nervous, but i'll go for my 7 wk ultrasound on October 20th. HOpefully it'll still be good news!!!

October 01, 2008

Hi Michaela, congratulations! I think we're all pretty much in that first week of June window. I'm so excited for you. I've had 2mcs too and I was a bit pensive about this pregnancy, but I just have to stay positive. I think our little beans need us to think happy thoughts and not worry. How are you feeling. We were all trading symptoms. I like having them because at least i know I'm preggers. Good luck with the U/S. Keep us posted. Loads of sticky glue to you!

June 8 may be my due date! I went to the lab and gave a blood sample today. I cannot wait to hear from the doctor's office. After dinner today I feel so incredibly bloated. Loads of pulling in my sides and abdomen, my lower backache thankfully has reduced somewhat. I am so glad to be feeling the symptoms. No sore boobs though. How is everybody else?

October 01, 2008

my boobs started hurting last nite, and for since the weekend i've felt "blah" different times thru-out the day. it kind'a comes and goes--the nausea, etc. but it's like you say, LC, i like having the symptoms too b/c i know everything is still going fine : )

i never thought i'd say that i don't mind feeling sick!! LOL~

SS, can't wait to hear your blood results!! Babydust to you!

Got my 2nd blood results back about an hour ago... Hcg level doubled to 819 --- YIPPEE!!! Go in Oct 21st for 7wk ultrasound...

I agree with the "wanting symptoms" thing... I like the constant reminder... I still wake up feeling NOTHING then it all hits bout this time of day. I may end up moving my vitamins to taking them in the evening so I don't feel so blah in the midafternoon.

This is soo exciting having people in the same week almost same due dates as I am...

Michaela - what do you think you'll have? Boy/Girl? More than one? :-)

Ss - Good luck on your results... and lots of babydust to you!!

October 02, 2008

Hi Everyone! Hope you are all loving your preggo. symptoms like I am. I just came from my OB's and did another ultrasound, they think I'm about 5 weeks and 5 days. They saw the little thing in the sac and said my numbers were doubling, so they didn't think I needed to do anymore bloodwork. I go back in for another u/s in a couple of weeks. Those of you that have had MCs, will understand this, but I still get nervous everytime I go to the bathroom and pray there's no AF. I don't think I'll stop worrying until I'm actually holding him/her in my arms.

SS - I am praying for you! Can't wait to hear your results. Those symptoms sure sound good though.

Well, as for prego. symptoms for me: the BBs are no longer that tender and sore, my nipples were really sensitive too but that is going away a little. Didn't throw up this morning, kind of glad about that one. I have noticed some white discharge. I only seem to feel nauseous if I'm hungry. Oh and I notice some bloating and gas. Sorry TMI about all of this info, but I think we're all in the same boat -- just greatful to be having all of these symptoms.

And, I'm just so glad to be sharing this with all of you. Lots of sticky glue and baby dust to SS.

October 02, 2008

Congrats LD! Wow 819, that's great for only being 4-5 weeks along. Do you think you might be having twins? Ooh, I wish I was having twins.

glad things are going well LC :)

Good to hear LC... I'm right there with you on the fear thing...

My entire family and friends are hoping I have twins... I'm going to be thrilled if so, but either way I'll be happy to have a healthy normal pregnancy and end up with a or 2 lovely babies... I asked the nurse today about my hCG level being that high and she said that everyone's levels are different and not to be concerned... She really didn't state whether or not it could be a multiple pregnancy. Although I know for sure that the two embryos that were transfered had not been double fertilized, none of my 15 that were fertilized had double fertilization but there were two put back so I could very well have a twin birth but no more than that.

I also thought it was/is strange - last week Wednesday I had light brownish spotting that evening and woke up to a bit of it with minor cramping on Wed evening... then Monday I had the same type of spotting and cramping again... if BOTH embryos implant - do they do it at the same time? or could one have happened Wed and the other Monday? Just something I've been wondering about... not really talked to anyone about it though...

Thanks again for all the support. I'm still getting mild MS symptoms - like you, mainly when I'm hungry or a few hours after taking vitamins.

Keep us posted on your results SS...

Hey ladies, thanks for all the positive thoughts you are sending my way. The doctor left a message saying that my hcg levels (from the first test) are really low, but that is not unusual this early (i'm 18 dpo). She wants me to come in for another hcg tomorrow. I am praying the numbers are going up! Good to hear that everybody is doing well. Cannot wait for your first U/S results LC and Michaela
