Congrats, DrK!!!
 
Thanks Robbie - now that I know you''re back on PS, I need to go look for your birth story! Congrats on a lovely babe.

Beta #2 is tomorrow. As is the start of our trip. I''m a little anxious, just praying all will continue to go smoothly. Mum has been officially told to seal the lips, so that''s been taken care of. Just please God let me end up with a nice healthy baby!

I so wish I were the kind of person who could have a couple drinks, get pg, go a couple months busy with work and life and not notice that I''d missed AF, and suddenly find myself happily in the second trimester. I guess a girl can dream...
 
Kate, please let us know how the secodn beta goes! And have a fun trip... you can try to be "that girl" for a couple weeks at least!
 
Second beta was about 3900 (I guess they don''t give exact numbers so we can''t totally obsess?). Which is about right on for doubling every 48h. Oh happy happy day!

So off for a relaxing vacation now, and U/S to see what''s happening the day we get back. Thanks so much for all the "PS love"! It''s been a lifesaver. I''ll keep you all posted.

Maybe we can cheer Melanie on on here when she starts her IVF this month? Or maybe she''ll start her own thread...

Hugs to all (and I''m not a huggy person either!).
Kate
 
Great news! Have an awesome vacation!
 
Happy news Kate! Have fun across the pond! (We''ll be going too next week...)
 
Wonderful news! Have so much fun on your vacation and enjoy this happy happy time!!
 
More great news, Kate! Congratulations again!! Prayers for smooth sailing from here on out!
 
drk, i can''t believe i didn''t see this thread before but i just wanted to congratulate you!! wishing you a happy,healthy, trouble-free and smooth pregnancy. hope you have a fabulous time on your vacation!
 
Congratulations Kate!!!
I don''t know how I missed the thread, but I just read through the whole thread. I am so exciting for you.
Now go enjoy your vacation.
 
Got back from a nice (short) vacation tonight and am jet-lagged and ready for bed. U/S at 9:30am tomorrow, and I''m getting a little nervous now. Still not much here in the way of symptoms. Maybe eating a little more, peeing a little more, boobs a little bigger, a little more tired.

I sure hope we get good news tomorrow! DH is convinced it''s twins, I''m convinced it''s just one. I''m not sure which I''d prefer - hopefully there''s at least one nice strong healthy one in there...

Kate
 
cant wait for tom''s update

GOOD LUCK for the ultrasound. I think we all know that there is at least one baby in there, I''m leaning towards two....

drk, welcome back! I was going to bump this thread a couple of days ago but realized you were away.

Enjoy being symptom free! My friend''s morning sickness happened 3 days ago and she is hating life. Throwing up the whole day, the works. She emailed me asking how women have handled this for 1000s of years...

Very excited to hear your news tomorrow!!
 
Looking forward to more good news tomorrow!
 
can''t wait for an update Kate! I am guessing twins too...
 
Can''t wait to hear about your u/s, drk!!!!
 
Boy, did they ever drag this one out. We showed up, they made DH sit in the waiting area while I got scanned, first transabdominally and then transvaginally. The U/S tech said nothing, then told me to go wait for the doctor.
So we waited and waited. I couldn''t even read my book. I hadn''t been nervous really until I was sitting there waiting to talk to the doctor. I was thinking something must be wrong for the tech to say nothing. It''s too bad I got one I didn''t know, rather than my two favourites who did most of my follicle scans. I think I might have gotten a peek at the screen from them.
After 20min of waiting, the doc came out to get another couple for their consult, but popped over briefly to see us in the waiting room, telling us she''d be another 20min or so. But that everything looked good, and we''ve got one live baby growing in there. Thank you God!
She eventually took us in for our chat. Supposedly all looks good. No cysts, no bleeding in the uterus, one gestational sac at 2cm (6w3d), one fetal pole at 8mm (6w5d), and a FHR of 127. She said at this stage they like to see it between 100-130, so ours was perfect. By dates (based on transfer of Jun 17), we should be 6w6d according to their software, though I could have sworn we should be 7wks today. Unfortunately, when I asked whether we could get a photo, the tech told the doc she hadn''t been able to get a picture for us. I think that''s a load of bullshit, personally, but hey. I should just be content that we have one healthy little bean growing like it should.
I''m a little sad that both didn''t make it, but also kind of relieved in a way that I''ll have less to worry about with this pregnancy. I''ll be able to hide it from my new workplace for longer, I hopefully won''t get as big or as many stretchmarks, I''ll be at less risk of preterm labour and needing to leave work to go on bedrest, and I should be able to have a natural labour and delivery if I want to. Whereas if I were pregnant with twins, I''d have to get an epidural to be safe.
Now, please God just let this little one continue to thrive. Hopefully the small bit of smoked salmon I ate last week, and the soft-boiled egg the week before, won''t have harmed it.

Thanks for thinking of me!
Kate
 
Great news!!! So glad to hear you have a healthy bean in there. Continuing to send you tons of sticky vibes!

Woooooooo for a sticky bean! Fingers crossed for you for continued growth! Thanks for the update.
 
WHEEEEEEEEEEEE! That is awesome. I am so excited for you. While I think twins are so wonderful in so many ways, one baby does make it a little less nervewracking when it comes to pregnancy.

So no morning sickness yet eh? Maybe you will be one of the lucky ones! Although I think I got hit in week 7.

I''ll be praying for a happy, sticky bean!
 
hurray

but im so happy there is 1 healthy bean! i am very surprised that they didnt let dh into the room with u ..ive never heard that before (and actually even if i had that would fly with me) dh has been in every single room with me..and sis and bff and mom whenever they came (yeh it was a family affair lol). but still glad that everything looked good and i send u lots of healthy preggo dust...u are right about being safer with 1 than 2..but since its ivf its still considered a high risk pregnancy so take it easy. the techs arent allowed to say anything,...and that pissed me off too bc i was so nervous i couldnt stand it! but congrats again and cant wait to see u on the preggo thread and hear all about ur exciting journey
