Hey yas!! I'm just checking in on you. How's everything going? FF changed my O day from 5dpo to 4dpo today. I'm not so sure that is right. Anyway, I have some strange yellowish/ browinsh cm. I was wondering if you had that? I have taken an opk today and it was very close to positive. now, 2 days ago it was nothing so something is strange. I just am not trying to get my hopes up because I have been let down so many times. I am anxious about your scan it is going to be sooooo exciting! I can't wait! Did you tell your dh yet?............................................Talk to ya tomorrow! Your Friend Tiffany!

well, quite uneventful again today...the nausea is there but very very mildly when ignore it i don't even feel it at all...fatigue usually sets in the afternoon...so in general rather than being over tired i feel just plain lazy!!! its been 2 days now where i wake up in the morning not feeling pregnant at all..wasn't it supposed get worse from week 5 or 6???? there is slighlt worry that my symptoms are or seem to be very mild now and fading??i obviously am paranoid and don't see this as a good sign....i have no other pains or pulls either in my uterous not since 2 days ago...so i am panicking slighlty...but then again i am thinking all will be revealed on tuesday.....maybe i should count myself lucky not to have extreme symptoms...and if things dont go so well at least its so early on? i am not sure how i am feeling i go through so many emotions...panick, anxiety, annoyance...anticipation, i am thinking what and how will i react to bad news? how will i react to being told there is only one...because the whole idea of taking risk with the clomid was to conceive at least 2..so much for 'risks' ha...and my symptoms are fading i feel very much like i did with my son's 'oh no, not another boy!'AGGhhhh but then there is genuine and accountable worry like..i hope i am still pregnant, and if i am i hope it is a viable pregnancy, and i hope whatever it is and however many he/she is healthy....and growing well... i am only human...in the end my ultimate happiness will lie in the fact that i sail through this pregnancy problem free and hold a healthy baby whatver s_x, and even if its just one...who is healthy, happy and content!!!! my scan is on the 20th..i will be 6 weeks..so every tuesday i am week further into the pregnancy... how is everyone else...shey i wish you heaps of luck for your hpt...how mnay dpo's will you be...? tiffancy i hope things will go well with you too...and linda...can't wait for that scan of yours on thursday!!!please everyone keep in touch!

hi everyone.... well its 5w 2d and i woke up this morning with fatigue..am just tired really...nausea is still there..took another hpt..(i know i got a bundle of them so i can test away like a champion)...but becasue the last 2 days have been uneventful i just thouhg let me see..i do know hcg stayes inyour blood and depletes slowly even if you end up loosing a pregnancy...but i just wanted to make myself feel better..to my relief..the test line came out almost immediately and is super dark now..i am 18dpo... i have heartburn now whihc i had with my son's but in my third trimester..so am quite dissapointed i have it already it can only get worse!!!! i have had some fluttering sensations whihc come and go so i know even thouhg it is not the baby it is definately relatd to the pregnancy... fat has definately depost_ted itself on my abdomen,thighs and my love handles and i have now gone form a size 2 jeans to a size 5/6....i wouldn't say i overeat at all. i had the occasional mc donalds and burger king meal but then i wouldnt really have anything for the rest of the day...i also run around alot so i really shouldnt gain as fast as i do..hence i know it is definately the pregnancy...i tend to get huge unfortunately...i guess its in my genes...i do feel tired and i think if it were up to me i would just slouch around and lie inbed all day or on the sofa and watch tv..but i have 1.5 year old so have my hands full..and dropping and picking my other son of from school etc.. just counting the days down for my u/s... how are you shey? hope you are hopingto test soon. linda you will have your u/s today..please please cannot wait to hear how it went..and tiffancy..i hope this is your month.... everyone else please keep us updated...cannot wait to hear how everyone else is doing..

Hi Yas, Yes I had my scan today, apparently only 1 bub, but healthy and measuring spot on my dates and a heartbeat. *apparently* the blob up the top of my sac is the yolk sack, further down at the bottom is the baby. Now had the tech not told me I would have sworn the blob at the top was another baby, I have never seen a yolk sack that far from the baby, but i'm no ultrasound tech, so I guess they know more than me ;) Here is the pic if you can work out how to get it to show ;) http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v500/laneylin/7wks5days.jpg probably will have to remove any -'s that appear once I post this....lol...there should be no - at all in the addy

wow, linda am so happy for you...i just saw your pic..i cannot belive they only saw one heartbeat in there then..did she not see one int he blob at the top..its a huge yolk sack isnt it???you never know there might be another one behind it???did you ask her to check thoroughly???was she very sure. it looks like two babies in one sack to me....maybe a head shot of the one that looks like a yolk sac?will you have another u/s and if so when?at least you saw a heartbeat...i hope you will have a successful and positvely uneventful pregnancy1!!!will you go to the fist trimester board..i may see you there next week if i end up seeing only one...

Yas, Yeah I thought it was a second one too, he never checked it for a heartbeat or looked closely at it, just said it was the yolk sack, on different angles it looked a similar shape to the baby too! I get another scan on 11th Jan with my OB, so I guess if it was a yolk sack it will be gone by then, and if it is a baby I will know that then too ;) It's just too wierd, with DS I didn't even see a yolk sack at 6wks 4 days and all ultrasounds i've found on the net, the yolk sack is directly beside the baby, almost looks joined, mine is so far away! DH doesn't beleive it's not a second baby....lol... Guess I will be moving to the first Tri section now though ;) Will still check up on you though:) Good luck next week!

to me that definately looks something more than a yolk sac..i mean...look at it its huge..and then its so far away as you say...when they were checking did he not look at all bothered? i hope at your next scan you will find out more..i saw your bump pictures too..you def have a hige bump....i thought i was big but your much bigger..i think it is that our muscles reax even more so with consecutive pregnancies...so hence due to the hormones in our body the abdomen sticks out more... mine is sticking out but not so muhc maybe a touch or so less thanyou..but then you had 5 more kids did you???i only had 2.... anyway..wish you heaps of luck i think you may be surprised....

I'm no expert but it looks like twins to me I found a pic of twins and it looks just like yours http://pregnancy.about.com/cs/pregnancycalendar/l/blweek5.htm

just take the -'s out........I don't know why that happens???

lol...thanks for feeding my obsesions...The tech just didn't really look at the top one, just the bottom one, only measured the bottom one etc, he just said immediately that the top one was the yolk sac, I just thought it was too far away from the baby. As I said before, Ive had 4 kids already and never seen a second of anything in the sac...so I guess I just have to wait until January to get some answers. Just wish something would be concrete for me for once. Don't get me wrong, i'm chuffed I have a healthy bub in there, just would have liked to have seen that second spot a little better!

Linda your bump does look BIG and that does look like twins to me I can't believe the tech didn't at least investigate that a little further? Hi Yas when is your u/s ? We can't wait! Has anyone done the ring test yet I read about it on another thread and my whole family has done it. I know its not scientific but its fun!

how does the ring test go? my scan is on the 20th 10 am UK time....

ok you take a peice of long hair or thread if your hair is short (but hair works better) and you tie a ring on the end and then you dangle the ring an inch or so above your wrist. You have to be real steady when you do this....so if it starts to swing front to back (finger to elbow) its a boy and left to right its a girl. it should make circles in between all the kids and it should do it in their birth order. If its twins it should go back and forth then left to right withoiut making circles. I swear i've seen this done so many times and its been right everytime. When it is held over my great aunt it just sits there and does nothing and she never had kids.

When it has been done to me it says twin boys/girl/boy/boy! And another thing if you do it to your hubby it will also show up his kids.
