Not that it matters much but my midwife's calculations were different than mine and my new EDD is March 23rd.

[ShannonT]

You can remove me, too.  After low, but doubling betas last week, I was down to zero this morning.  This makes 3 miscarriages in 18 months.  I may be done.  :(

Shannon, I am so incredibly sorry! So sorry! Many , many hugs!

*Family: DH 34  DD 6  DS 4

*Birth plans/preferences: Natural Hospital Birth

*Thoughts / anything else you you would like to share: I've been lurking, but I need support so here I am!  I have been having cramping and some bleeding last night/today.  My hCG levels were quite high so my OB thinks it is just normal bleeding/cramping.  Doesn't make me feel anymore secure.  We were in an infertility testing cycle when I got pregnant, so I've been poked and prodded a lot.  We also know (via ultrasound) that I naturally ovulated 2 eggs this month so I could be carrying twins....

[tantylynn]

Yay, more people I know!! Welcome RosieL and finsmom  When are your ultrasounds? Mine's Aug 5th and I CAN'T WAIT! I'm feeling the same - am I really pregnant?! I hope that helps make it all a bit more real and that everything looks good. 

[RosieL]

Congrats finsmom!!

Tantylynn - I'm off and on with the "am I REALLY pregnant" thoughts! I have peed on one stick a day and yep, still two lines! My hunger is increased, BMs are different, I'm thirsty all the time, and a little dizzy getting up form sitting. If I didn't have pee sticks to tell me otherwise, I'm sure I could pass those symptoms off for something else. No ultrasound for me, except *maybe* for gender (or for any suspected issues if they come up). My first appointment is at 11 weeks...seems SO far away. 

[tantylynn]

Haha oh my goodness I've also been POAS everyday and your symptoms sound identical to mine!! 11 weeks does sound far away but I'm sure it'll fly by. I'm not sure why I'm having week 6 and week 8 scans? Maybe b/c of PCOS...

:lol: I figure why not use the ICs to keep seeing those two lines. Even though I put the new one right next to the clearly positive old ones, I still get excited each time the line appears. Are you having scans with an OB? My MWs don't recommend any routine ultrasounds, so just a different protocol for prenatal care I would guess?
