I am so sorry you are going through this, OP

Oh no LJ! I am so sorry!

Please take it easy. If you haven't, a warm bath does wonders. I felt like crap yesterday after all my drama and a bath made me feel so much better.

Seeing the baby and a high hcg are good!

I am so sorry this is happening on your vacation

Agree with ^^. On the IVF forum I frequented, most women with few risk factors were released once a heart rate was detected. For the record, the nurse still answered my questionss, made sure I had an OB appointment scheduled, and still checks in with me. Just want to make sure the correct info is posted.

No, they released ME at 6 weeks 4 days because of my lack of risk factors. I am young and we are solely male factor.

Most REs release you after a heart beat is detected depending on your risk factors. And even afte I was released when appropriate for me, my nurse continued to respond to my questions and STILL checks up on me.

Please be sure you have all the information before you post incorrectly about the clinic. If you don't like them, fine, but your post isn't accurate.

she's an idiot. This is the same person who wished me a Happy Hanukkah on Good Friday because I don't celebrate Easter....so....

11 weeks today, I was released at 6 weeks or so after a HB was detected.

And I threw up again today. After having a green smoothie. Only I didn't make it to the bathroom. Made it to the hallway, in my mouth then in the trash can. In front of the stupidist woman in our hallway. Who didn't understand why I didn't want her yelling that I was pregnant all over the place.

This just isn't my day.

Damnit the 12:35 post was clearly me but I wasn't signed in! lol

sorry, 0900 was me! it logged me out

I'll just say that when I had my cycle with ER 1 Feb and ET 6 Feb, I didn't even notice Dr G was gone - he was our consult and everything, but between the nurses (I only talked to Kym once when Christine was out for the day) and Dr F, I didn't notice anything was going on and still got great care.

For monitoring, the ultrasound techs and nurse (I'm horrible with names, but the older lady) were great and they're still there.

yeah, I'm not going to take them any more.

I spoke with a nurse on Wednesday when I was home and I'm not sure they can do anything and Dr Metz doesn't work this half of the week. I'll try to talk to a nurse again today, but again, without bleeding (and I'm not going to lie about that), there's really nothing they can do.

It's great because my husband has military duty tonight through the rest of the weekend so I'll enjoy being alone, stewing. Not. I've asked my mom to come down to help me just keep my mind off things.

I don't think so. I started coughing and then went 'um....oh no!" and ran to the bathroom. Only difference in routine was taking prenatals last night vs a.m because I forgot yesterday morning.

I am also coming off estrogen and progesterone. I was supposed to stop at week 10 but I had pills left so I have been weaning off and now take one each a day (at bed time).

I am so worried it is my progesterone crashing or the start of the end. I wish I didn't have these thoughts and could relax.

Um...ok, so I just threw up bile for the first time this whole pregnancy.
11 weeks today. Should I be worried given the cramps?

Great idea for a threat - My concern with zulily is the stuff isn't returnable - anyone have success?

Would love suggestions for bathing suits (tankinis always "balloon out" once I hit the water....very unflattering!). And also any larger girl stuff - I'm in between regular and plus these days (ggrrrr) and feel more comfortable in plus pants. Are LOFT maternity tops cut similar (just more generous in the belly) to the regular shop? I wear them a lot so was curious.

Last day of your 13th week. If you're extra worried to tell people, I'd say end of your 14th week.

I'll post a reminder the Friday prior, and if anyone wants to meet at Caribou before hand, that might be fun!

(we should plan an "end of the 1st trimester" gathering anyway once all of us are past that point....god willing!)
