PHPT on 2/20/08!
My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 1/2 years. I miscarried last year at this time. We then went to a fertility specialist. I have been on Letrozole for about 1 1/2 years. I had one IUI, but it didn't take. So needless to say we are thrilled!
2/20/08 - hcg level - 38
2/22/08 - hcg level - 130
2/25/08 - hcg level - 592
2/28/08 - ultrasound - We saw the gestational sac and the yolk sac. Estimated I was five weeks. The doctor started me on Progesterone. 100mg twice a day.
3/7/08 - ultrasound - saw a heartbeat and slightly heard it! 6wks and 1 day. My due date is 10/30/08. My next appointment is 4/7/08. The doctor was glad she had put me on progesterone because my cyst that produces the progesterone shrunk.
4/7/08 - Heard heartbeat on doppler. Heart rate was 166. Everything looks great. My next appointment is 5/12/08. They will take me off the progesterone at the end of week 13.
5/12/08 - 15 wks and 4 days. No weight gain, yet. Heart rate on doppler was 144. Ultrasound showed that I was having a baby boy! Next appointment is 6/17/08.
6/17/08 - 20 wks and 5 days. Jace Weston (we have already named him) measured 21 wks and weighs about 14 oz. I have gained about 6lbs so far (up to 148). He is very active and likes to kick his mother. We are half way through! Next appointment is 7/21/08. (Glucose test.)
7/21/08 - 25 wks and 4 days. I barely passed the glucose test. It had to be under 140 and I was 139. They said as long as it was under 140 that it was ok. I am anemic so I have started taking an iron supplement. I have gained 4 more pounds totaling a whole 10 pounds(up to 152). He measured 24 wks which is normal. His heartrate was 147. 101 days to go! Jace is constantly moving. I love it. Next appointment is 8/18/08.

Thank you! Congratulations on having a little boy. Most of my friend that I know that are due in October are all having boys too. I think it would make my husband's day if we find out that we are having a boy. We have our ultrasound appointment this Monday the 9th at 8:00 a.m.

I feel down a freakin hill walking my dog!!! Baby was fine, but it scared the hell out of me. The Dr. said that the baby is still so protected at this time. If I was further along, it would have been worse. Be careful!!

I have bad allergies every day, i just cope but My friend takes garlic capsuls you can get them any where that sells vitamins she says they help and there are no additives. and even if they end up not helping garlic helps with everything from the flu to indigestion to athsma.

I am also due on Oct 30. My husband and I tried for awhile too. Thats so cool you already found out what the sex is! I have to wait until 20 wks, my u/s is scheduled for June 12. I cannot wait to find out and start planning baby's room. How have you felt through your pregnancy so far? Are you showing yet? Have you felt baby moving yet? I just like to talk to other first timers! Not trying to be nosey ;-)

I don't know if you have gotten your answer about using a Doppler yet, but I have one and was able to hear the heartbeat for the first time at 9 weeks 3 days. I am 14 weeks 2 days today. If you are using it correctly, you will probably hear your own heartbeat more than the little one's. Depending on how high your uterus is sitting in your belly and what position the baby is laying in, at this point you will hear it about halfway up the length between the pubic bone and belly button. Start by putting ultrasound gel in the middle of your belly or on the end of the Doppler. If you are using a machine that didn't cost much money ($20) you probably won't hear it until about 20 weeks or so. I spent $110 on mine on Ebay. Anyways...starting in the middle, angle the Doppler head slightly towards your pubic bone and start moving it towards your hip bones, first one side and then the other. Move slowly, cuz once you get the heartbeat, you will find it in about a 1-inch location surrounding that spot and depending on the angle of the Doppler, it will sound louder or softer. If you hear a very loud wooshing sound, one either side of your belly closer to your pubic bone, you are too far and are hearing your iliac arteries that run through your hip bones to your legs. Move closer towards the center of your belly and try lower then higher. You WILL know the sound when you hear it. It might sound like galloping horses or a choo-choo train. Coolest thing in the world. You'll be able to locate it within seconds every time you listen after that. Good luck!!!

I have heard that you can use it as much as you want! That is completely up to you. From what I understand this is just a really high tech stethoscope and some women will use them their entire pregnancy.
dvsrunt - Monday, 5 May
Once you figure it out you will love it!! i have used it 4 times since I have gotten mine and found it right away...I never realized it would be soooo low! I watched a couple of youtube videos and realized that i was way too high on my belly, that it's not right under your belly button like you would think. Good luck!
dvsrunt - Monday, 5 May
It took me forever to figure out how to use it...so I will give you a hint!! Think LOW! LOL, i was shocked how low I had to go...I was at the beginning of my, well, pubic hair...sorry TMI!! LOL, right in the middle and I have to tilt it down a tad too...take your time...go slow and I promise you will find it!!

I absolutely agree...How's everything going with you?
superbowlbaby - Thursday, 1 May
We have the same due date! Yeah! I was on progesterone as well! I found out I was pregnant at 3 weeks and after my first blood test my doc put me on it! At 12 weeks I was able to ween off of it becuase my doc said it may cause spotting?? Non of that though and I have stopped taking it for about 10 days now! So don't worry it did the job!
karolynca - Wednesday, 30 April
I am also on the same amount of progesterone and following the same protocol, my doctor said to stop at 12 weeks, use only 100 mg daily on week 13 and then completely stop, I am scared of it...I know the tiniest spot and I am going to go nuts. It's a relief to read that the placenta should be doing its job by now...so no need to worry...Hang in there
