Hey everyone...I've been in several of the ttc forums and FINALLY received a BFP a couple weeks ago and here we are...I suspect Im around 6weeks, and I don't go to the u/s until 9/2... Presently, my light cramping has mostly ceased. I sleep a ton (now in bed by 9--and as you can see, up at 4--but normally I sleep thru til 7am). NO serious nausea (yet), just a little indigestion. Lots of joint pains, breast tenderness, and I look more like someone who's 3 mos prego than 6 weeks. Here's my info...I did 4 iuis and the last took, but it was actually the last 2 that were back to back that took. I was using gonalf, femara and ovidrel, but this month I took "off" and used acupuncture and some homeopathic herbs to get my hrmones balanced. I also did acu 30 min prior to each iui. After iui's I did NOTHING all day. I'm 38 and didn't want to take any chances as I have depleted egg reserve.

I'm looking for other woman to enjoy this journey with me. I've made several good friends (whom I already miss) in other pages, and hoping to do so here too. Any tips, any discussions, any thoughts...I'm learning things everyday and rather than dong this alone, I thought we could help teach each other of the things we know or learn?

Hi runnershirl. I just got my BFP on the 21st. I think I will officially be due May 1st but most likely will deliver in April 2010 as this is my 2nd baby & will be another c-section. I made some wonderful friends during my 1st pregnancy on this forum. We had a strong group that stayed together even after our little ones were born.

I think I am almost 5 weeks. I go to the dr tomorrow to officially confirm the pregnancy but so far 3 tests have been positive!!

I assume this is your first? Blessings for a healthy, happy, uneventful pregnancy! I'm 36 & would so enjoy sharing my knowledge with you.

Thanks for the reply and I apologize for being missing in action. I swear the day I found out I was pregnant, work got chaotic. I don't have time for nearly breathing. I'm trying to keep stress down though.

How far along are you? How are you and baby doing?

My update is that the u/s was last week and baby and mommy are progressing well. I'm presently 8w4d and EDD is 4/16. I go tomorrow to meet with the dr's office (finally). I consulted with them before (which I'm not sure why they needed since I'm alreayd a patient)..and now I'm on board. Tomorrow. Yes, this is my first.

I feel okay--some nausea--extreme extreme fatigue...gassy burping and bad headache the last 4 days! I'm trying to drink lots of water and trying to eat well, but wonderin gif I'm deficient in something. I'm surprised they made me wait this long to be under someone's care and want to make sure that they run whatever tests they need tomorrow, so as to avoid any obstacles. Otherwise, all good here. How about you?
