    Hi Moe,
    generally the due date are calculated from the first day of your last period because it is difficult (in normal situation) to predict the exact day of ovulation. When you know the day you have ovulated (the IUI day) it is more precise to count from that day! I ovulated in between day 14 and 15, so either way, my due date is March 5.
    Hope this will help, ultrasound tomorrow.I am doing ok, just weak and with nausea in the morning, if I keep eating all is well.

    Take care,
    Roberta

    Roberta,

    Thanks for the update! That ultrasound will make things more real but with you already having MS it's probably real enough for you! Good luck and let us know how it goes!

    I had IUI done today and a second one scheduled for tomorrow, I did 150 mg clomid this cycle and had a huge 32 mm follie on the left side and a 19.5 mm follie on the right side. I am hoping this is my month because this is it for us. Baby dust to all you ladies who are in the process this 2ww is gonna be a tough one!

    Thanks Christie...well numbers are still great with Progesterone >60 and HCG in between 45,000 and 46,000 at week 6 day 1 and the doctor found a nice and healthy hearth beat, all was so magical, i can't believe this is something wonderful growing inside of me. I feel very good just a little nausea. Next appointment in a week.
    Hope you all are doing well,

    all the best for a wonderful success,
    Roberta

    Those are crazy high HCG numbers! YAY :mrgreen: Its awesome that the heartbeat is already heard. How very exciting and at the same time surreal. There's a miracle growing within you!
    I'm cautiously waiting and have one more week of the TWW to go. I've been on the progesterone suppositories and it gives me all the preggo symptoms. My boobs have been very sore and a cup size BIGGER, bloated, PMS munchies, fatigue, moody (bipolar-like), and peeing frequently just to name a few. The only thing that's next is a BFP :geek:
    Sending lots of sticky baby dust ladies!

    Moe!

    Sorry forgot to update my visit last monday: Week7day1, Prog >60 HCG 180,000, baby measures 1cm and had a nice strong heartbeat. I feel so sick I was transferred to the ER for dehydration, but now with Zofran all is quite well. I feel really pregnant, even though I lost 3 lbs in 1 week going from 103 to 100...CRAZY :o
    Hope you all are doing well, next update s=coming soon,

    Dear all,

    baby 8w1d measured 1.5 com, strong heart beat. I have a wonderful picture in which he/she looks like a baby and not a reptile anymore :lol:
    Here are my number for that day: Progesterone >60; HCG 294,000...this is why I feel so sick!!!

    Hope this will make people happy and hopeful! Thins will work...sooner or later, just stay positive and imagine how wonderful will be to hold your baby finally in your arms :)

    OK here is my update...I am close to week 13, so in my second trimester already :) morning sickness got so much better, went to do ultrasound and chorionic villi sampling on Tuesday and the baby was...OH MY...a real baby...5.5 cm, 165 heartbeat per minute and he/she was moving...the test was quite painful, but all went well...results in a few days.
    I will know also the gender when the genetic test results will be back! ;)

    I am not showing anything yet, but it is amazing to see what a miracle is growing inside...I know it will happen to all of you!
    All my best wishes,

    Roberta

    Roberta,
    How very exciting! I am so happy for you. Congratulations on the healthy baby girl! Keep the updates coming! It helps so much after seeing that bfn or having af arrive to hear that it happens and it has a happy ending with a beautiful baby girl! :D

    Dear Robin...IT WILL HAPPEN!!!

    I had 3 BFN with IUI for which I was very sad and disappointed and though it will never happened to me at eh point that when I tested positive with the pee stick (4 days before my period) I didn't believe until the doctor confirmed with the blood test!!! And still for another 10 days I kept testing every day with the tests I had left to make sure I was still pregnant....then every day is a miracle...a thank you for no bleeding even though the cramping can be very scary!!!

    Then the heart beat at 6 weeks and 7 and 8 and the perfect u/s at 12 weeks makes it feel really real...and even though I was very very sick from week 6 to 12 I was still not convinced I was pregnant until the 12 weeks u/s scan. This is because I was always so disappointed, but believe me it happens...just keep trying and don't obsess yourself with the outcome, be relaxed and imagine the baby to be already there!

    I am very grateful for this donor to make my dream come true...now...26 more weeks to go!!!! :) The CVS was painful, but when the good results are back...oh well...then you can really start to enjoy this amazing journey!!!

    Have faith and believe in yourself!!!

    All the best to you!
