Pregnancy Info HOME

Well last night DH and I had little tift. so no BD but will tonight. Do you think that will be OK? Or did we miss it for this cycle.

You're probably still ok. That happened with me and my dh, also. We had just been bd'ing everyday, and when I finally got my +opk (on day 20!!!!) we started having issues...nothing major, but enough to make me say, forget it, I'll try again next month. I was definately not in the mood. So, we missed a couple crucial days, and I didn't think I'd get pregnant. But, I guess we said our apologies just in time, or they hung on from an earlier bd.... I don't know, but now I'm almost 10 wks pregnant! It was a surprise, that's for sure! Good Luck!

im only a few weeks pregnant and i am already showing way more than the normal person. This is my first pregnancy and i have no clue what to expect. i have severe mood swings and food cravings, but i dont experience morning sickness. Twins do run in both of our families. Should I be planning for twins??

Anastacia,

The only way to determine that you're pg with triplets is through an u/s. If you're suspicous, then ask your OB to do an early u/s. Your chances of conceiving multiples only increases if there are FRATERNAL twins or triplets on your MOTHER'S side. The father's side has nothing to do w/it, and identical multiples are not due to hyperovulation, yet an egg splitting. My chances were increased b/c I am a fraternal twin myself and I used clomid. As far as the symptoms -- it's hard to say. Every woman responds to pregnancy differently - for me, the main difference between my singleton and multiple pregnancy was that my morning sickness (or better put: ALL DAY SICKNESS) was extreme. Like vomiting at least twice each day. The other things I experienced were; headaches, cramping, and exhaustion. HTH's!

Julie thanks for the encouragment! After reading the OPK instructions again it said 24 hours after is when most fertile. So hopefully I hit it perfectly. I guess we will see. Now starts the 2ww. However, I know I won't be able to wait the entire 2ww before I test.

Angela W.- You sound a lot like me, I am also taking clomid, mine is perscribed due to no O and low progesterone levels. I am just past O and feel exactly as you described in your other listing about everyone taking clomid, do you think you are PG? I am wondering, but have not tested yet, I thought I would wait a few more days and see if more simptoms start up. I have also been expierancing a little nausia and smell sensativity. I don't think its due to the clomid, I also took it last month but was unsuccessfull in conceving due to the fact that O was so painfull it I spent the vital day in the emergency room and bd was way too painfull. I did not feel like this last month. How early is too early to tell?

Hi all---I haven't posted since Sept. but thought I would give a little update. Well, I have faithfully taken all my supplements (fertilityblend for women, 4000mcg folic acid, baby aspirin, mucinex, and flax seed oil) daily for 3 1/2 months now. As a trial month, I started clomid 25mg days 4-8 (nights of 3-7). I will take my last pill tonight. I have to say, I haven't found my side effects to be too bad. Really just hot flashes once in a while mostly at night but some during the day, can't say I have felt any different other then that. So I am counting this month as a success and will increase my dosage next month to 50mg same days and really ttc. So wish me luck as I wish all of you the same kind of luck & double baby dust to us all ;o)!

to amanda....thanks for asking. yep i have a +hpt, and friday i had a serum level drawn... will get the results probably tomorrow on the hcg... not that will mean anything till i get an us. feeling pretty good though!!! will let you all know. :)

Hi Amanda - good luck tomorrow. I go on Wed for mine. Let me know how you make out. Will you be finding the sex out eventually?
Sunita & Shannon - still thinking of you & hoping this is your month
Julie - how r u? Good luck to all new posters

I have to say this 2ww is driving me crazy. Amanda am excited to hear about your U/S. Lauren are you 12 weeks already? Time flies(except during 2ww) LOL! Julie when will you go for your next US.

I just got back and everything went well. The baby's heartbeat is 156. I go back Nov. 29th to find out the sex. I would love to have a boy, but just want a healthy baby. Now that I am officially in my 2nd trimester and have heard the heartbeat again I feel I can relax and enjoy the rest of my pregnancy. Let me know how your visit goes Lauren.

Congradulations Brenda!! Keep us informed on your progress.

Hey all! It sounds like everyone's doing well. I had my 10 week (9 week baby, ovulated late) appointment, my first real appointment with my doctor. I'm measuring a little big, but the doc didn't seem concerned about it. I go back in 2 weeks to try and hear the heartbeat with the doppler again. I don't know when I'll get another u/s. Right now, I'm just planning on waiting 6-10 weeks for the 16-20 week u/s. They told me I could find out the sex at 16 weeks if I want...hmmm...that would be just before Christmas...we'll see. My doctor said today that it appeared to be a healthy pregnancy...cervix nice and closed, uterus growing...etc. I stop taking progesterone in a few weeks, so that will be good. I sure wish my pregnancy symptoms would start to vanish soon. I'm feeling pretty miserable most of the time. I'm so drained. My poor kids... Well, that's my update. I hope we hear the heartbeat when we go back in 2 weeks. Good luck to everyone!

I am going threw the same thing as you are. I have had 2 miscarriages in the past year. I have zero children so just trying to get my first one. My last miscarriage was this past Sept. I have been taking progestrin for about 1 month and everything looks good but I can't seem to ovulate. I keep checking it every morning and nothing. I was having a 31 day cycle. Could the miscarriage have thrown off my cycle. Did it throw off yours? I am hoping to have twins my first time out. I am sooo glad I found this web site. It looks liek there is alot of sisters helping sisters. :) Baby Dusts and Baby stickeys to everyone.

I didn't give you my name before. Any words of wisdom from anyone would help. It is sooo hard to try to concieve so soon after a miscarriage because you are always expecting the worst. I will pray for everyone.

Keep us updated on your great baby news please. :)
