Thread: IVF Grads: The First Trimester

Jana-yea for no spotting and for an u/s soon!!

Christi, Yay for normal cramps. I'm on crinone but I don't notice any discharge from it, but from the estradiol. I'm doing estradiol vaginally, and my discharge is bluish. It's pretty much chunks rather than creamy discharge

Jana, glad the spotting stopped. Can't wait to hear about your ultrasound

Hey everyone!!
So excited to see all of you who are in the 1st trimester.....SO EXCITING!!

We are thinking of doing a frozen cycle the beginning of next year, or sooner. Scary and exciting at the same time

Jana - Glad to hear the spotting has stopped. My ultrasound is the day before yours - next Thursday! YAY for us!

We'll soon know if we have healthy singletons or twinkies in there - causing us so much stress. DH likes to talk to the "babies" already and he's been chastising them lately for making me such a crazy person. I told DH that it's only the beginning... LOL!

Jana- Glad the spotting stopped. I had a friend that did IVF and spotted for quite a while! We go to the same RE and he did an u/s everytime she was worried before her release LOL

Christi- You are right about this only being the beginning LOL

Jana...glad the spotting stopped! I spotted very early on, but it was most likely implantation for me. Still scary though. What a relief that it stopped for you!

I'm having a major freak-out. I woke up this morning and felt really GOOD. I'm no longer in that weird fog I've had for a few weeks. I've lost most of my symptoms - my bbs don't hurt today, NO cramps at all, and still no m/s. I just know something is wrong.

I'm flying to New York tomorrow for work and won't be back until my sonogram on Thursday, so I have to suffer through the next three days until I find out what's going on. Has anyone ever lost their symptoms completely and things worked out ok? This has happened to me before obviously, so I think I know what comes next.

I have had many days where my symptoms totally disappear and if i didn't know i was pregnant I wouldn't know i was... kwim. Try to relax I realize it must be hard with your history of losses. But I am sure even totally healthy pregnancies have days with no symptoms. i know mine sure has. :big hug:

Morning Girls!!!

Christi ~ I have days where my symptoms are less prevalent than others. I'm extremely tired all the time. I am nauseous at different times during the day. It's not overwhelming, but just enough (deep in the back of my throat) so that I know it's there.

My DH, as sweet as he is, bought a "pregnancy for dad's" book. Bless his heart... I'm so happy that he is so interested in this pregnancy, but if he sites one more fact from the book, I just might strangle him! LOL!

I KWYM, Christi. Friday, I went to the bathroom, wiped, and bright red blood. Called hubby, told him to get home NOW, (I had our son with me), called my OB's office, completely freaked out. Crying on the phone with the oncall midwife, told her about IVF, symptoms just about gone, etc. Convinced her to send me for an u/s...hubby and I and Gabe went to the u/s office and luckily, all was well, no reason for the bright red blood. It disappeared same day, but really freaked me out. I need to relax about this pregnancy, but with few symptoms, hard to not worry. I am going to try to not worry and relax...I have my 1st tri screening u/s on May 10 (2 weeks!!) so hopefully all stays uneventful and I can remain relaxed. Sigh. I really don't remember being this anxious when pg with Gabe.
