Hey Amy - Wanted you to know that I'm gonna be thinking of you tomorrow and praying that this first U/S of baby brings many tears of joy!!!! Please don't keep us in too much anticipation and post soom to tell us all about it when you get home. You're a wonderful support on this board, and I know all of us are very excited and happy for you and your growing family. If I know anything about my time zones (which I really don't :) ) it's probably getting late where you are now (I'm still eating lunch! ;) ), and you might be nervous about getting through the night ahead of you. Try and relax and think/dream happy thoughts about baby! Good luck sweetie!

Ooh, yes, good luck Amy! I'm sure you'll have some fab news for us tomorrow.
Lizzie

Best wishes to you tomorrow, we'll be thinking of you and be looking forward to your post.

Gina

Kari, you bet me to it!

Good luck Amy sweetie, I will be thinking of you tomorrow too. Don't forget to ask if you can take a dvd or video of the baby tomorrow. We have videos of both our babies scans and they are such precious reminders to look back on and the kids love watching them too!
I wish I could say I was sorry about your morning sickness but I am just so happy that you are getting it as it means the baby is very well attached and producing all the right hormones. I hope your feeling better soon though.
Tomorrow is going to be wonderful for you, good luck, I'll be thinking of you.

Ruby

Amy don't keep us in suspense, we will be thinking of you and waiting to hear how it all went. Best wishes to you, how many weeks are you now, I can't remember! around 6 weeks does that sound right? Love to you x

Congrats Amy and goodluck tomorrow. We are here to share the excitement with u.

Lovely

Amy,

im so glad all is going well for you.
please make sure you pop back often to keep us all updated.

xx

Ladies...thank you so much for the thread and for your posting. Kari your altruisim amazes me. you re going through such a difficult time yourself...and you still think of others.

Well my appt went ok. Had blood work,forms filled,files opened,seen by a dr and by the high risk ob/gynes all seems to be going on smoothly. It was way too early to see the H/B but we saw the sac and the little ricey...........too small to even be called a beanie. The dr said my sac looks very healthy and even looks further along then they thought.
I have a busy appt schedule but that s ok. I now have to see my heamotologist to check my blood work results on Tuesday. In 2 weeks time have to see my endocrinologist and have another u/s hopefully to see the h/b.I d rather be closely monitored so it s better that way

Thanks to all my sisters here on this board.....i really appreciate your support.....will be here all along until you all get your BFPs......hold on.

AMy

Wow, Amy sounds like you had a very busy appointment! I'm so glad to hear that everything was right where it was supposed to be, and that even the sac is looking very healthy for this stage of the game! I think it's good that they are monitoring you closely and I know you are okay with all the extra appointments... it's all for the little ricey :) growing strong inside you! Well congrats and good luck with the upcoming doctor visits! Enjoy your weekend!

Amy I couldn't leave the board tonight without trying to find out how you are and I am so happy to see that everything sounds good with you! Ricey is a cool name, when my sister had her first scan at around 7-8 weeks we named it 5p (the british 5p coin is tiny!) and we still laugh about it now that the 5p is a crazy 2 1/2 year old Daisy who runs around like a whirlwind doing impressions of everyone and making up jokes and giving out kisses and hugs like there is no tomorrow! Ricey will be doing the same before you know it....

Happy for you honey xx

Stay well and can't wait til you see heartbeat in there :)

Lots of love
kelx

Hi Amy

I'm so glad your u/s went well and it sounds as though you have one heck of a healthy little baby in there! Are you starting to feel a bit excited yet?
I'm glad that you are being so closely monitored, it is good to have that peace of mind.
Thanks for sticking around to support us, we would all really miss you if you left the boards. Your encouragement means the world to me - thank you!

Ruby

Hi Amy, glad to hear it all went well, and that ricey is snuggled in happily. How exciting!!!

hey amy, everything seems to be going well so far. congrats!! and yes you are gonna be one busy lady!! but it will def. be worth it in the end. you are in our thoughts and prayers everyday. keep us posted. cant wait until you get to hear the heartbeat!! :angel: Aimee

Félicatations, Amy! You appointment sounds like it went really well! I am so happy for you! I'm so happy that abby is all nice and snuggled in there, and I'm relieved that you being so closely monitored. So how do you feel now that you had the u/s? raying for you and thinking about you!
****Healthy nine months****

THank you all so much for your well wishes...i really appreciate.

Well today had some more good news. My mine blood issues is a very high platelet count. The higher this goes the higher my risks for clots. Since most meds to lower these are not safe during pregnancy i was given heparin. This to decrease the chance of clots. Heparin as a side effect may or may not decrease platelet count. This side effect is a bonus for me. Infact i ve been on heparin for 2 weeks and my platelet count has decreased a little. The fact that it hasn t gone up is already wonderful...but that it s gone down a little is even better.

Lovely
i do post on the preggo boards....but believe me it feels like family here.

Ruby
I would never leave......you supported me and are still supporting me just as much

Kelly.......i do so appreciate your post here....i am sorry if in any way i remind you of heartache since we got our bfps together. I am only saying this because if i were in your shoes i would probably feel that way.
You ve been through so much in these last few months............however i am sure that you will become a mummy soon...and an amazing one too.

AMy

Amy, that's really super news abotu the platelet count!! I'm so glad to hear that not only has your count not gone up, it's gone DOWN!!! Wonderful!! They will continue to monitor you, right?

Kelly, as Amy said, and she is so right, you'll be a mummy soona dn an amazing one at that! I can't wait to hear your news!

***BABY DUST AND HAPPY HEALTHY NINE MONTHS!!******

Oh yes Princess....i have blood work done every 2 weeks.

Can t wait to have you post good news re your appt. It s on the 13th correct?

Amy

Oui, cherie, correct. My appointment is on friday, and even though it's Monday, it feels like this week is CRAWLING by. Not sweet crawling like how babies do, but slow boring crawl.

I'm really glad they are monitoring you so carefully. How are you feeling?

Hey Amy! Congrats to you on the great news about your blood platelets and what the heparin has done for you! Does this help you to feel more relaxed and excited about the pregnancy? I imagine each appointment and milestone that goes well helps the happiness to sink in even more. I look forward to hearing more positive results from you!

Princess i have terrible m/s...though at the same time i don t care.I am sorry that time seems to be going by slowly for you. Well today s Monday...it s always slow after the weekend...the days will soon be passing by and the weekend will soon be here.

This makes me think of Holly.... i am thinking so much of you Holly and hoping that you ve got good news.

Kari...it helps to know that things are going smoothly. However for me the most important milestones will be at 20 and 24 weeks. The reason being that they do an ultrasound doppler to ensure that i have normal flow to the placenta.I am scared because i feel i am a guinea pig here....as far as i know i am the 1st pregnant female with this condition locally. However i have recently been in contact with the uK mayo clinic and a specialist there is giving me so much support.I am trying to be positive . I know of quite a few success stories ...just hoping i will be added to the list

I posted on your other thread....how are you doing? Hope you didn t have any nightmares last night.

Amy

Amy- I'm sorry aout the m/s, but I COMPLETELY understand about what you said about not caring about it, bien sur. atl east not caring yet. I'm sorry cherie, but I keep forgetting...how far along are you?

Kari- I'm hoping that you had sweet dreams last night and slept very well. I'm so proud of you for eing this strong, and really admire you, cherie.

Holly- I miss you so much. Is there no way you can come back? I pray for you and hope for your good news, cherie.


*****BABY DUST*****

Princess i am 6 weeks today.....long road for me.

AMy

I know you say long raod , cherie, and it's still early, ut I can't believe it's six weeks already! Wow! How are you feeling now that you had the u/s? A little bit more excited? Have you told anyone yet, or waiting until the 12 weeks?

Amy, that's great news about your platelet count. It sounds really promising so far. I'm sorry it must be so difficult for you to just sit back and enjoy your pregnancy with all these blood complications. I'm really sure you will be one of those success stories though. Glad you have the support of that specialist - that must really help. Wishing you all the best for the next 7 and a half months.
Lizzie

Amy I am so happy to hear that your U/S went well and that your blood platlets are down that is wonderful. I am praying for you and your baby.

I know what you mean about the m/s I didn'a care when I was preggo with ds because I had waited so long to be preggo that I even liked the m/s. It was strange for me because I didn't have m/s at all the first 3 months then I started getting m/s every morning until he was born. I couldn't brush my teeth with regular toothpaste, Had to use kids bubblegum flavor, because it made me sick. And I craved whoppers from Burger King and Big Macs from McDonalds. I even tried to get DH to go get them in the middle of the night.LOL Have you had any food cravings or foods you can't stand yet, it may still be to early.

Kelly

OOOOhhhhhh!! I''ve also wanted to know, Amy, cherie, do you have weird food cravings yet? Or still too early? How is morning illness? Getting better? I hope so :D I'm thinking about you!

Hi Amy, Just wanted to say hi today and see how you are feeling. Do you have your EDD yet? If you've mentioned it elsewhere, I may have missed it.

Thank you all for your continuous support...you ladies are just amazing.

Lizzie...that sounds good 7 1/2 months........can t believe that. How are you doing?

princess...i ve told one close friend....only because she works in hospital with me and i was afraid she would find out through other people. I sometimes think i should tell my family but my dad s got an important trip he ll be leaving soon and coming back end of August. I am sure he d cancel if he knew. or else he ll spend the whole time worrying for me.....and i don t want that.

kelly...i really hope this wont last until the end but again i don t care as long as i get to the end. It started at around 5 weeks ......i don t have food cravings at all....just the opposite i can t eat...i ve actually lost weight.

KAri......my actual EDD is early MArch around the 2nd or 3rd...but my gynea said it is very probable i will be induced before so as to minimise complications. I know that i will probably have a tiny baby.........since most babies of moms with my conditon are born tiny......but they usually catch up quickly. Also sometimes i think it won t be the case for me.......i am small framed but DH is tall and large framed. Anyway so i think it will be a FEb baby.

Gotta go and get some rest.

Amy

aww, Amy you sound like you're doing wonderfully. Thank God! :angel: I think you're right about waiting to tell your family, because you wouldn't want your dad to worry, and I'm sure a littl ebit of waiting time woudln't hurt :D But are you bursting at the seams to tell the secret? I know I would be :D:D:D I'm glad you're gettign your rest!! I'm so happy for you!!

Oh Amy, I am just so happy that everything's going so smoothly for you so far!!!!!!!!!!!!! You deserve this so much! :D :D Your family is going to be so thrilled when you share the news!

Holly

Amy, I think you are so kind and thoughtful to not worry your family. Sometimes knowing that others are worrying causes me more stress too. But Holly is right, they will be thrilled when they find out!!! And I know you are going to do everything in your power to keep you and the baby healthy right thru delivery. That little one is gonna be strong and happy, and we know he/she will be so loved!!!

This board is so active, I always feel I'm behind the curve! I didn't see all the good news until now. I am so happy to hear you u/s looked so good. It's always comforting for them to say it looks farther along than they thought! I really glad to hear they are watching you closely so you don't have to worry about cracking the whip on those drs! It warms my heart to hear you have m/s! Ahhh, to be pregnant and miserable, thats all we want! I can't wait to hear more good news from you. Please take care!

Hi Amy,
That must be so difficult not telling your family, you are so strong! And, as Kari said, really kind and thoughtful. I hope these next few weeks go really really quickly for you so you can finally relax and enjoy your pregnancy. Is it 12 weeks when you know it will be ok? I think you told us before... Hope you get your apetite back soon. I'm sure Feb will be here before you know it and you'll be holding your beautiful tiny baby in your arms. Can't wait!

I'm fine thanks - will be taking Provera (thanks Kari!) to induce AF so I should be able to start my next IUI in about a 10 days.

Thank you for your kind words Lizzie.

I will definitely feel better at 12 weeks. but found out that in my case an ultrasound doppler at 20 and 24 weeks are very important. They determine if the flow through the placente is normal. But i think until i am holding the baby in my arms i won t believe it.

That s great news....IUI in 10 days....you ve had a cnx cycle and been waiting for this one. It is so frustrating when you re not doing anything but waiting isn t it? Really hope that this will be the cycle for you.

Amy

Thanks so much Amy. Yes, it has been so frustrating, so I'm really excited about starting another cycle.
You poor thing, 20 & 24 weeks sound so far away. I guess you'll just have to take it a day at a time, and a week at at time and hopefully you'll be in the 25th week with everything going along perfectly before we know it. Keep picturing that baby in your arms - it is going to happen!

Well Lizzie i ve got you guys supporting me....and that means so much to me.

Kari you hit the nail on the head...seeing them so worried for me really stresses me out.... I figured that out when my dad came to a few appts with me coz DH was working.

Tigrilla...thank you fro your support and kind words. i ll be thinking and praying for you today.

Princess, Holly...i am sure they will be thrilled. This is what i planned to do. Ok i am thinking very positive here. So if i make it to the 12 week mark i am going to get an ultrasound done...buy a card to my grandad and stick the U/s pic in the card with a little note from my baby (ok from me). When dad gets back we always do a bbq with all the family there and i will give it to him then and of course every one will know.Ok that s day dreaming...but i hope my dream will come true just as much as i hope taht all our dreams will come through.

Amy

Amy I am so happy things are going well for you. And I know you will be amazed at your pregnancy and how wonderful it will be. You are so supportive here and I just want to wish you all the best. Love to you from Australia x

Amy, your description of giving the card with a note from the baby brought tears to my eyes!! That is such a sweet idea, and you are such a thoughtful person. I couldn't be happier for you. :D :D :D :D

Holly

Good luck Amy, I am sure that eveything will be fine. Just look after yourself and try not to stress too much. That sounds are great idea about the card. The 20 week scans are amazing. We named our DD based on what my DH and I saw in the scan...she was so Graceful.

Even today, I still see her in the picture of the scane

Ah, Pauline, that is so so so sweet!! That must have been such a touching moment. How old is DD now?

Amy, my eyes got teary when I read your plan. That sounds like an amazing idea. You family will be in tears as well (be prepared! :p) You are such a sweet person and you are going to be an amazing mother very soon. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

****healthy nine months dust****

Amy, that is so lovely. You can be looking forward to that for the next 5 or 6 weeks and it will keep you going. Can't wait til you tell us all how it went, they will all be so thrilled.

Amy, I know your father is going to be so touched when you tell him. Sounds like you guys have a wonderful relationship! I often daydream of how I'm going to tell my DH, family, and friends when I get the news one day of a BFP. It's fun to think about it... just really hope that darn day would get here!!! ;) When is your next dr appt?

Kari...i am sure you ll be sharing good news with your family soon.


Yesterday i had a terrible day....Kari you are right i am very close to my parents they are the kindest people on earth and a true example of excellent parents. They always think their children before themselves and do so many sacrifices for us. but they love us so much that they don t see the sacrifices they do as sacrifices but as pleasure.

Ok sorry for rambling but i was so upset coz my parents were robbed. thiefs broke into the house and stole some money and jewellry. My mum s so upset because the jewellry was of sentimental value....she doesn t even want to stay in the house anymore. I feel so sorry for them but there s nothing i can do to help:mad: :mad: :mad:

Well i am just happy that nobody got hurt and that my parents were not at home. It s something which will pass by time but when it happens you just don t feel safe in your own house.

Ok this is totally off subject but i consider you friends and just seem to want to share everything with you.
Well me and the little one are doing fine.....terrible m/s and fatigue but those are good signs no.

Kari..i have a very busy schedule.......which i am happy with.
I see my heamo once a fortnight on tues. I saw him last tues...everything seems ok up to know. I see my endo every 4 weeks...have to go in 2 weeks time. And my high risk ob/gynea every 4 weeks have 2 go in 3 weeks.
My next thing is an u/s to see the heart beat this will be done wed or fri next week. Then i will be doing u/s every 2 weeks.

Amy

OMG Amy, I am so sorry to hear what happened to your parents!! I can only imagine how scared and sad they must feel. And to have lost jewelry with sentimental value as well. :( I will never understand how a person could do something so terrible to someone else. Please know you and your family are in my thoughts. I hope they will find the thief.

I am relieved though to hear you and the little one are still doing well. I imagine you must've been going through a lot of turmoil yesterday...and probably still are. Make sure you take it easy.

Holly

Amy that is just terrible! I hope your parents are doing okay today. I have never been robbed before but I imagine it is a terrible invasion of privacy not to mention very unsettling - no wonder your poor mother doesn't want to stay in the house. I hope they catch the cowards that did it and that her jewllery is returned to her soon.

I'm glad you and baby are doing well. I hope the stress of yesterday doesn't get you too down.
You have a very busy schedule but I imagine you must be loving every moment of it. You and your baby deserve nothing but the best of care!

Thinking of you sweetie.

Ruby

Oh my goodness Amy, I just read your post about your poor dear parents!!! :( I am so sorry that happened! It's such a terrible feeling of violation! Well I pray that they catch those evil thiefs and even if it wouldn't immediately restore their sense of security, at least it might bring back their precious belongings.

Sounds like you have many appts. I hope that each and every one of them go as well as the first few have. I can't believe that you might see baby's heartbeat as early as next Wed!!!! I'll be looking forward to hearing all about that u/s, that's for sure!!!

Amy, I'm so sorry, I just read your post. That's awful that something so dreadful could happen to such lovely people. I hope they are slowly getting over the shock, and I hope that in time your mother will begin to feel settled and safe in her own home again. Take care sweetie.

Hi Amy! I've been thinking about you & wondering when your next appt is coming up? I know you will have many check ups, and I'm hoping all your future appts go as well as - if not better - than the ones you have had so far. Hope your m/s isn't too bad.

Also, I was wondering how your parents are doing? Did the police catch the thief? Hope they are okay.

Holly

:o Ma chère I cannot believe it! I am so sorry about howthis has happened to your parents! I feel so bad for them!! To be afraid in your own homw....nobdy has the right to take that away from them. And for heaven's sake, taking jewellry is bad, but jewellry of senitmental value? They have no right, absolutely NONE, to take htat aay. I don't care how much they need money, they should not rob someone of their financial securit, comfrot in their home and memories. I am sorry to be sounding angry, but I am very angry on your behalf and hope they get what's comign to them.

On the other hand, I am so glad to hear that the baby is doing well! And a heartbeat on Wednesday, possibly??!!! This is wonderful!! I'm so happy for you about the baby, and sincerely hope your pregnancy stays this wonderful!

Hi Holly

How was your weekend break? Did you enjoy Atlantic City?

It s sweet of you to think of me. I have my ultrasound on Wed...hopefully we get to see the heartbeat. I am 7 weeks today ...this was actually my 1st milestone since last time 1 m/c at 6w4days.
I seem to have got used to the m/s....but not the fatigue. I am finding it so hard to cope at work. Infact i slept nearly 4 hrs after work today.Today i was slightly worried coz i have a terrible headache...i can t help but thinking that i might be getting to much heparin and i ve got bleeding somewhere.SO i am hoping it goes away ....quickly.

My parents are pulling through. mom s having a rather tough time...she feels violated in her own home. It s especially hard coz dad should be leaving for his trip today week. However if he does go Dh and i will be moving in with her.

So what s next for your IUI cycle?How are you feeling about it?

Amy

Thanks Princess....sometimes we suspect that they were drug addicts...but well you can t tell really. the jewellry was all of sentimental value.....either stuff that dad gave to mom through their 35 years of marriage or jewellry that my parents inherited from their parents. As long as myu mom didn t get hurt.....it will be ok.

Up to know the police gave us no feedback.......we are expecting a call from them soon. My dad laugh coz i complained that they are taking long. I said fingerprints should be ready in a few hours.....he said i ve watched too much CSI.

How are you holding up Princess....wish i could give you a big hug...so sending you one now.....make sure you catch it........

AMy

Auf!! I caught it!! What a tight one!! LOL!! Watch now, cherie, I am sending you one back!!

I'm so sorry that it got stolen. I kept all of the love leters tht my husband wrote, and if I misplace one i cry. I can't imagine what your mother must be going through. Still though, we are blessed she wasn't hurt.

Hahaha, watching too much CSI!!! That is SO FUNNY!!!! My boss just came by and asked what I'm giggling at. :D:D:D

I'm doing better. I'm not so dissapointed anymore as I am angry. I honestly wonder at how she has the...guts...is that how we say?.. to speak to a patient like that? And I had waited for five months to get that appointment!! :mad: As soon as lunch comes around, I am calling my doctor to ask him to refer me to another gyn. And to make it as emergency so I do not have to wait for months and months. :mad:

I hope we here the police very soon!!! You must let us know!

Got it......lol.

I understand you are dissappointed you have every right to feel that way and to be angry too.I think it s a good idea to get a new dr....do you have RE s there? Also isn t there a way that you can get your pap results before? As far as i know in normal circumstances they take 2 weeks....so it should be done in at least 10 days if it s urgent.

Really hope you get things sorted out soon.

AMy

Hi cherie, :D

I am on my way to gettign a new gyn. At this point, I'd settle just to see my old fam dr again. We have REs here, but the waititng list to see one is ridiculous, so everyone who can, just sees a gyn. Which is porbably why I had to wait 5 months to see mine :p :D

I will ask my dr if 5 weeks is reasonable here where I am to get pap results back. because it sounds too long. You're right, most women I talk toget thiers back in 2 weeks, or less. And they don't have to call...the doctor calls either way.

I hope you're doing well! :D

Amy - 7 weeks! Congratulations! Your first big milestone. Hope the headaches get better so you won't have to worry. Glad you're tired/ sleepy and still have m/s - all good signs! (Hope it isn't too bad though). Can't you take a sickie from work and have a good sleep? Sweet of you to move in with your mum if your dad goes away. I'm sure she will really appreciate that.

Hi Amy,

That's very nice of you to move in with your Mom. I hope your DH gets along well with her also, you don't need any added stress or tension to deal with. Although, won't your Mom get suspiscious of your symptons if you move in? I don't know how bad your m/s is, but she may catch on eventually! Just thought I'd ask!

Christin

Amy, 7 weeks - Yippee!!! I am absolutely THRILLED for you!! :D I hope the headaches go away soon so you can have piece of mind. Glad the m/s is not too bad. I feel so bad that your mom is still scared to be in her own home. I understand her feeling that way, I just feel badly that she has to go through it. You and DH are so great to offer to stay w/ her if your dad leaves for his trip. I really hope she can learn to relax and feel secure again.

Make sure you let us know how the u/s goes on Wednesday!!

Holly

Hi Amy

I can't believe you're seven weeks already - how time flies! At least now you are more than half way through your first trimester, you are bound to start feeling better in a few weeks time.

I hope your headaches go away soon so that you don't have to worry or stress out too much. I'm sure with all the monitoring you are having done that they will soon pick up if you are on too much heparin.

Take care of yourself sweet!

Ruby

Hey Amy, I just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you tomorrow and I really hope everything goes perfectly with your u/s.... I can only imagine how excited you would be if you and DH get to see a hearbeat this early on! Congrats also on reaching your first milestone of hitting the 7-week mark. I'm keeping you in my prayers and hopefully the fatigue eases up a bit for you. Please let us know how things go tomorrow when you can!

Hi Amy! Hope your appt is wonderful today and you get to hear that beautiful heartbeat. :angel: You're in my thoughts. Please give us the details when you can.

Holly

good luck today hun!! we are all praying for you :) i heard around 6-7 weeks you can see the heartbeat on u/s!! so i think you should def. be able to see it. it must feel good to get to this point.. and YAY for you moving in with your mom, thats so sweet.. good luck, and we cant wait to here the results!!

Thank you all for your continuous support.

Christine ...that s a good question re my mom........i ll have to think about something...luckily she s so naive and i ll probably get away with saying it s gastric flu...which has up to know worked very well at work. Also she s slightly upset with all this so i might let her on the secret when dad leaves....we ll see.

Well ....my ultrasound was cnx today due to some technical fault in the machine so i have to go in tomorrow. I could have done it in an other dept but that would have meant telling the people who know me.

Thanks once again.

AMy

Amy, that's a bummer that your u/s had to be rescheduled. I guess we can wait another day for the update if we have to. ;)

Holly

Bah, not happy about his u/s being postponed. :( Although I'm glad it was only by a day, but sometimes it just seems so unfair!! Haahaha, I think I may be taking it harder than you, cherie!! I will be thinking about you and scouring to find your post on how it goes!!

*****healthy nine months dust!*******

Amy, I'm so sorry the ultrasound was cancelled. That is a bummer! I hope everything is fixed for you tomorrow. And I think that will be nice of you to let your mom in on the secret a little early. I'm sure your wonderful news would change her spirits immediately, and she would suddenly be distracted by the wonderful "grandmother" plans she could start making:D I hope you have great news for us tomorrow, hang in there. You are so sweet for sticking around and keeping us updated!

Hi Amy, sorry about the u/s cancellation. It must be so hard not telling people! Bet you are tempted to sneak in and do one yourself... Hope all goes well tomorrow. Keep us posted.
Lizzie

Hi Amy

You must have been so disappointed. Nevermind, I'm sure it will be worth the wait! I can't wait to hear how it goes!

Good luck tomorrow.

Ruby

Hi Amy sorry to hear that your u/s was rescheduled but not a big deal I am sure tomorrow will bring great news.Good luck and know you are in my thoughts and prayers sweetie.Take care.Please keep us posted.

Mapia

Amy best wishes for your u/s tommorrow, it will be so exciting for you! Let us know as soon as you can, as we are thinking of you.

Well my u/s s done and all looks ok........i saw the heartbeat and that was just amazing. The baby seems to be growing at a normal rate and the h/b is normal too. I still have the little cyst on my ovary but i was told it s nothing to worry about.

Wish i could post the scan with my little beanie here...oh yes i can finally call it beanie instead of ricey.

Well this was my 2nd milestone for me......and i know it s a very long road ahead. I am just taking it day by day and hoping for the best.

Thank you for your continuous support.It would have been much more dificult without you ladies.
Can t wait to have you all get your BFPs very very soon. I am sure all the pain that we are ging through will be worth it

Amy

Oh Amy, it sounds so amazing, I wish I could have been there. Just think, you are going to be a 'March Mommy' - that has such a nice ring to it!

Wishing you and your little beanie love and happiness.

Ruby

Amy - tears to my eyes! Oh I am so happy you saw the h/b already what a beautiful wonderful thing. You deserve this and I am so happy for you xx

I know it is still a bit scary but this h/b proves you are going to be fine honey x

Amy that is fantasic news, a March baby is so exciting! My daughters' birthday is in March! You deserve this happiness, even when you have exciting news, you are still concerned about the rest of us. You would be a good friend to meet in person! Take care.

Thank you all for your support.I just don t have the words to express how important your support is to me.

Lizzie. Kari any sign of af yet?

Kari yes DH came for the u/s too. It took him quite a while to realise that the h/b was a white dot flickering.......i think he was expecting to see something larger. Men!!!!!

Christine how are things going? ANy better? Can t wait to hear some good news from you.

Mariella thank you for your kind words. Yes it would be just wonderful to meet up wouldn t it? What s next for you? Just don t give up ok.

Aimee i am sure that the same event is just around the corner for you. I am praying that our beanies will set home for the coming months and that all our IF sisters will be experiencing the same joy soon.

Amelu....i am sure that your bfp is just around the corner too. when s your beta? Sorry if you ve posted it already.....but still going through the posts.

Holly...is the clomid still treating you well? Do you have dates scheduled for your IUI? I am so excited for you.

Mapia...your move is just around the corner and i am sure your bfp will be here before you know it.

Kelly. How are you doing? Have you decided on your next move yet? I have to admit...i was in tears. And i am praying hard that you will all be seeing h/b very very soon.

Ruby. I am sorry the 2 ww is not treating you to well however i understand what you mean. It gets worse as you re closer to the verdict. You deserve this so much and i really hope you ll be posting good news soon.

Princess.......hold on i am sure that the new dr will be solving your issues soon and you ll be back on track.

Wishin you all a very happy weekend.

Amy

Amy, you are so incredibly sweet. You amaze me all the time, and you're going to make a fabulous mom. :) Thanks for asking about my cycle. So far no dates set for IUI. I have my first u/s and b/w tomorrow morning to see how I reacted. I'll let you know how it goes.

Take care of yourself and the little one! :)

Holly

Holly - good luck, I hope you find that you've reacted really well, and things can get moving for you again. Yes, do let us know!

Amy - yes, af finally arrived on day 6 of the Provera. I started my injections last night, and am going for a scan tomorrow morning. Trying to do everything the same as my first cycle as this was the best one, with 2 big follies, so I'm praying that the meds will work again this time. It's so sweet of you to keep track of everything that's going on with everyone here. Can't wait for you to happily and comfortably get past the next few milestones, and bring us more exciting news!
Lizzie

Amy- how are you feelign today? I hope very very good!

Holly- I'm thinkg about you as you have your b/w and u/s today!! I can't wait to hear how it goes cherie!

Everyone- ******baby dust****** and healthy nine months!

You girls are so great! :) Since you've asked about my appt, I decided to start my own thread to post about it. I don't want to take over Amy's thread as I'm sure she's going to have more good news for us soon! :angel:

Holly

Oh Holly don t think you d be taking over my thread........i just feel we re all sisters here and it wouldn t even cross my mind. I posted in your other thread but so glad that things are going on well with your cycle.

Lizzie I am so glad that af showed up for you. I know it sucks having cnx cycles so i can imagine how excited you are for this new cycle. Please keep us posted.

Princess i am fine thank you. Still with horrible m/s...actually all day sickness. How are you doing? Your appt with your new dr is getting close and i can t wait to have you post good news.Any news about the pap?

Well i got my b/w today......my thyroid is within normal range. Pregnancy may alter thyroid function but in my case it seems like it got stabilised. Also the heparin seems to be working wonders on. Not only is it preventing blood clots but it is also keeping my platelets under control. Tomorrow i have to see both the endocrinologist and the heamotologist but i can interpret my b/w by now.

Sorry to say but i might be a bit less around the next few days since i will be moving in with my mom for a couple of days and she has no internet access. I will keep myself updated with the post from work but i won t have much time to post.

Amy

I know you wouldn't mind sharing your thread w/ me, but I didn't want to take any of the focus off you or baby. :) Every time you post good news about your b/w and appts, it just fills my heart w/ happiness. I know you are going to be one of the success stories!!! I am just so happy to hear things are still going so well.

I will definitely miss you while you're staying at your mom's. Have you decided to tell her? Or will you wait and see if she figures it out?

Holly

Thanks Holly.

Well i kind of thought it would be a good idea to tell her....but i wouldn t want to tell anybody else it wouldn t be fair on my dad. ANd my mom has such a big mouth...she d be so happy she wouldn t be able to keep the secret. SO i ll see how things go.......

AMy

Amy, that if fabulous news on your b/w results!!!!! :blob_fire :blob_fire :blob_fire So morning sickness all day, huh? That must be one healthy baby you're carrying there!!!! :) I tell you, when it's meant to be it all really just happens doesn't it?! Well I'm thrilled for you and I do hope that the second trimester (which must be fast approaching!) will bring some quick relief to that m/s. We will be thinking of you even if you are off the board while moving in with mom. I hope that goes smoothly and please do pop in when you can to say hi!

Hi Amy, wow - those latest results are fantastic! As Kari said, the 2nd trimester will be here before you know it, and then 24 weeks and the safe home stretch.
Have a good few days at your mums, and good luck in deciding whether to tell her or not. It must be so difficult not to share your excitement. May God give you the strength to do what's best , whatever that may be!

Hi Amy

I'm glad you and your little one are doing so well.

Have fun at your mum's house - we will miss you and will look forward to getting an update from you when you go home.

Take care of yourself!

Ruby

Hi Amy so happy your results were great.I know everything will be fine with you and little one.Have fun with mom know you will be missed.Also know you are constantly in my thoughts and prayers.Take care sweetie.
