I’m finally starting to feel a bit better. I haven’t had a fever in over 24 hours, which is huge progress, but the cough and the crackling in my lungs is still there. I’m so tired of being sick and just want to get back to my “normal” life…whatever that is. I still really don’t have [...]

My OB’s office called today…well, they called Friday when I was knocked out from sickness and then they closed early…so they called again today. Doc wants me to come back for another ultrasound in 2-3 weeks so we can see everything more clearly. I go back on April 13th and at that point I’m figuring [...]

Today I resigned myself to the fact that I think I’m going to be nervous this entire pregnancy. Every twinge, pain, trickle sends my brain into a panic. Even though it has been only 2 days since my sonogram, I still don’t believe it and spend every other minute wondering whether the baby is still [...]

Great news today. I started spotting earlier in the day and had to wait until almost 2:00 before they got my blood test results and a doctor could call me back. My hcg came back at 6900, so the doc was concerned about how the hcg could be so high but they couldn’t see anything [...]
We wait some more

I went for the ultrasound this morning, and though the doctor can see the gestational sac (measuring 5mm x 9mm) he could not actually see a fetus yet. He said the sac is implanted and exactly where it should be, but he just can’t see anything yet. This could be because it’s too early and the dates are [...]

My appointment and 6 week ultrasound is tomorrow at 9:30am. I am excited and scared to death all at the same time. Unfortunately, I have to go to this appointment all by myself due to work constraints with hubby. I know that he wouldn’t even be able to tell what is on the ultrasound screen [...]

I talked to my OB today, since this was the first day that he saw my labs from last week (his partner reviewed them last week) and decided that we will do an ultrasound next Wednesday. He is hoping that with my levels as they were last week, that by next week (6 wks) we [...]

Hi, my name is Kate and I am a POAS addict. There, I have admitted it. I have taken a pregnancy test EVERY DAY since I first got the positive result, even when I was getting blood work done the same day. I am using the internet cheapies, so they’re only about 85 cents each, [...]

I have a friend, M, who is in a same sex “marriage” with another woman, S. They have been together a long time and if they could they would get married, but since the law doesn’t allow it they are just life partners. Recently, M and S decided they wanted to have a baby together [...]

The results are in and my Hcg levels went from 34 to 93 in just 2 days, and the progesterone basically stayed the same! The doctor wanted to see at least a 66% increase and I went way over that, which is exciting. Finally, some good news. Of course, it’s still super early and anything [...]
