Hi Everyone,

Well I had my weekly u/s yesterday. This time we saw a strong heartbeat and the baby had tripled in size, which is a good sign. I'm only 7w3ds so have a while to go but at least it seems this pregnancy won't be affected by my luteal phase defect. AND I've had no bleeding so far, knock wood, and I'm NOT sick. In all my previous pgs, I was so very sick and bled alot. I'm so thankful that I feel good at least. I'm still in neutral in terms of emotions/excitement but this is a good sign for sure. My RE is still cautiously optimistic.

Grow Babies Grow....sending good vibes out to you all.....

Karen,

I'm so happy to hear you had a great check-up and you were able to see a strong h/b! Also glad to hear that you are feeling physically good because that can help keep you mentally positive. Hold these positive moments and before long you just might be ready to step out of the neutral and into the excited. I surely hope this is healthy and happy pg for you and your little one.

Karen:
I am very happy to hear your pregnancy is going great! I understand you are not ready to be completely excited after going through 6angels, I have only had 1 mc and I was not even able to share my pregnancy news until I was on my 12th week. I wish you a healthy and happy 8ish months...

I send you lots of positive thoughts and prayers!!!

Hi Karen,

That is TERRIFIC!! Please *try* to relax and enjoy now!!! I'm still in the waiting periof for my first u/s (next Friday).. I am feeling mixed from terrified to excited.. we have never had a good u/s by the time I finally got an u/s.. One week to go..

Grow healthy baby, grow healthy (I like your signature so much I added one word!!)

Hi Laura,

Thanks...I'm feeling pretty good. I just can't get too excited, it's too early. I know that might sound a bit pessimistic but I only have a 30% chance this time around, due to my history, problems and age....so it's slim but I'm hopeful and each week brings me more hope. I'm really feeling ok with everything. It took me 6months to get my will up to try one more time but in that time I prepared myself for either outcome.

I'm sorry you've never had a good U/S. I know how that is. You want the U/S to ensure everything's fine but you don't want them because you are afraid they will tell you there's no heartbeat. All that any of us can do is hope and take each week as it comes. I think anyone who can get pg after a loss, especially multiple losses has strength and courage. I will be thinking of you and I can't wait to hear your good news this week. You hate to wish your life away but doesn't the darn week just drag when you are waiting to have this u/s?? I guess I'm fortunate in that I get one each week.

I'm sending everyone extra.....extra....extra....grow baby grow vibes. There's many of us in this very tender spot and I hope we ALL make it through.

Karen
