Thanks for the welcome. I am soooo nervous about my US next week. I just want to see a little blinker and then I will feel much better.

Justme

Just Me,

I can totally relate to the nerves. Waiting for each Thursday to come is really hard. Seeing the sacs was great, but now I want to see the heartbeats too. I am sure after my u/s tomorrow, I will want to HEAR the heartbearts and so on....

I hope you are feeling well. I feel pretty good, but my clothes are getting tight already and I gained weight during the year and a half on meds to begin with...oh well, it's for a good cause, right!!

Take it easy!
Sue

Sue,
I have put on a little weight the last year and a half of meds too. I asked my doc about it and he said the meds shouldn't cause weight gain, only water. I think what he was getting at, was if I am gaining I am eating too much. But I totally disagree. I think the meds make you gain weight. My eating habits have not changed.

Just Me -

Welcome to the 'other side'. You and I are close together - I am on week 7. I hope we can continue to share Successful journeys! Next stop - 'parenting after infertility' :D

What part of the world do you live in? I live in Pennsylvania.

So excited - made my first 'purchase' today - stopped at a reputable consignment shop and purchased two matching car seats with 4 bases (two for my car and two for hubby's) and a nice crib all for $150.00. I know I will have a shower eventually, but having 2 ... I figured I better buy a few of the larger items. It is so neat!!

I am in Texas.

I am all about getting good consignment things!!! It is fun to shop. I have a three yr old so I have most of my stuff, but I will purchase some new things like a stroller. We wore the other one out!!!

Justme

JustMe,

Congratulations :) You must be over the moon w/ your positive result :) I remember living for u/s's. I still got nervous each time I went, but always felt relief when I saw the h/b. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers for a happy and healthy 9 months :)

Sussie88,

Where in PA do you live? I live in a suburb 45 minutes outside of Philadelphia. Congratulations on your twins:) Twins are double the fun, but can also be double trouble as well !!!!! Good idea purchasing things at consignment. It can be very pricey having to buy 2 of everything. Best of luck to you, and I also will keep you and your little ones in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Meg!

I live in Oley and work in Boyertown - ever heard of either of them? I am about 60 miles from phili.

U/s set for tomorrow morning - can't wait!!!

Sussie88,

Good Luck w/ your u/s tomorrow:) I have a follow up u/s scheduled for Oct. 7. I will be 26 wks. I actually live in Limerick, not that far from Boyertown I don't think. Are you in Montgomery County or Berks County? I am in Montco. County. Best of Luck again tomorrow :)

Meg

yeah!!! congrats Justme. I am 6 weeks and one day, U/s next week. Good luck to you and everyone!

Great news Just Me. Wishing you the most amazing and restful and joyous nine months. Yes, another success!

Hi everyone! I've been really sick this week so I've been off the boards.

Justme - what FANTASTIC news!!!! I am absolutely thrilled for you!!

Justme, Sussie88, Celia - I wish you all the very best in this early stage of pregnancy. I know how exciting yet scary it is. I hit the 12 week mark Wed and I feel SO much better. I surely hope you can enjoy the happiness and not let the nervousness overide it. I admit, I let the scary things really take the joy out of the pregnancy - mostly becuase I was bleeding for 2 1/2 weeks and terrified. But all is well! I wish you all perfect, uneventful and happy pregnancies. Karen

Welcome Justme and Celia! How nice to see this board hopping with newcomers! I wish you both the best of luck with your pregnancies! One of you mentioned weight gain with the meds and I absolutely agree. I remember the nurse telling me I would probably gain 5-15 lbs. It was all in my lower abdomen and made me look pg. when i wasn't! There is no mistaking it now! :)
I hope you also don't get too sick! Keep us informed on how you are doing! Take care....cassandra
