Looking so forward to the day we all have ultrasound pictures with little beans in them!

I'm lucky with the injections as my skin below my belly button is still pretty numb following my abdominal myomectomy surgery; thus, I don't feel much of anything from the shots.
Denise - I am so excited about your little bean! I understand your anxiety; I have spent an unhealthy amount of time reading those horror stories on fertility/baby-having websites to the point that I am also soooo nervous about the first trimester. Hang in there; you're almost out of the woods! I'm keeping you in my thoughts/prayers. So you're at 8 weeks and Kerri's at 6 weeks, is that right?
Which reminds me, are you guys going to get the Harmony Prenatal Test? It's a simple blood test (drawn from your arm, not the placenta) that can be done as early as 10 weeks gestation to rule out a variety of genetic disorders (trisomy 21, 13, 18 and sex chromosome/XY disorders). Since some of us older ladies are at increased risk for offspring w/these disorders (esp Down's Syndrome), I'm thinking it's a good idea. It also tells you the gender of the baby!
OK, I was on-call and up all last night so it's time for me to hit the hay. I'm sending you all lots of positive energy. Hopefully, by the time I get back from my mom's, all y'all will be pregnant!! And I'll be trying to catch up
Happy Thursday!
Where is everyone at in the process right now? We should have a few testing this week, right?
Robo - IUI 8/18 —> 9/1
Callen - IUI 8/23-24 —> 9/6-7
ck2014 - IUI 8/30-31 —> 9/13-14
In other news, I got a nice card this week from my bosses congratulating me on 5 years with the firm. It's definitely time to find a new job!

I am six weeks today so I am a day less than they thought. The heartbeat was strong enough that we were able to hear it on the system which took my breath away and I had to fight back not crying a little. (I know y'all don't know me well but I am NOT A CRIER kind of person ever for ANY REASON).
Next appointment in three weeks.

Kerri- I read your post earlier and was fanning of the tears on my face. It is emotional! I'm so happy for you and Nicole! Can't wait to see the photo.
Ck- the are brutal! I'm hoping though it's all good news soon. Not ever being pregnant means I really don't know what it's gonna feel like. Though I do know the hcg and it made me tired, nauseated and bloated as hell!!
When are you gonna test?
Callen- I haven't bought one thing. Mainly because I'm afraid if I do it will make me more emotionally connected and invested than I already am. Though once I do get pregnant and it's been a couple weeks or I hear the heartbeat then I plan on getting stuff and making the room babyfied with the help of my mom. She is a lot more creative with design than I am.
Kisses to you All!!
Thinking of everyone.
Good luck and baby dust!

CK- you could always try a HPT at home around day 6.7.8 or so. If you get a negative then it should mean that the trigger is out of your system. I ovulated late as well. Just a thought....
With our first child we bought something when we found out we were pregnant. Just one thing. We waited until after the 12 week mark to do anything else. This one, we have not done that yet.
How is everyone doing/feeling?
Positice thinking. Babies for all of us!
I tested the two times I used it. Once it was out of my system day 6 and the other day 8.
