Yeah, I think Dec. 13 (although if it's twins, it'd be Nov. 22). Although most babies aren't born on their "due date," and I read a lot of OBs are leaning toward a delivery week instead of a specific day.
I've been queasy, but not really nauseous much. Kinda like right after you get off a rollercoaster. I'm generally doing okay, except that I got a really bad cold and until yesterday I was too afraid to take anything (even cough drops), so I was miserable. The only thing I could really do was drink hot water (I read that tea is a no-no for pregnant women). But my husband got me some regular Sudafed and I'm taking baby-doses of Robitussin DM, so I'm feeling a lot better (but still not great).
My breasts are quite sore, and I have noticed more veins in the right one. I've also noticed increased cervical mucus or whatever it is. And I've been really really tired, although that's not really too new for me.
I've just been laying around and sleeping a lot, trying to eat regularly, and trying to stay relaxed. We've also been vigilant about my Progesterone shots and keeping my estrogen patch on.
Have you two told many people about your pregnancies? We've really only told the people who knew we were doing IVF (although that is quite a few people).

My mom was the last to know bc I'm not too thrilled about her being the grandma . However, everyone else knew on my side (family, friends) right away. My husband is just now starting to tell his friends. He was pretty shaken up after what happened last time w/ being pregnant, so he wanted to be cautious before getting everyone excited.

We told almost everyone right away. They all new what we had been going through and were very supportive. What is the chance of having twins with an IVF?
My mother in law was the first to know, she took me for my blood tests that morning I tested positive at home. After good results form my Dr. I told my husband and my familiy.

Sounds like we are both very lucky to have such great mother-in-laws who support us and we feel comfortable talking to! She has really helped me through a lot, especially since my own mother lives 3 states over.

I had two embryos transferred, so there's a 20-25% chance of having twins, and about a 5% chance of having triplets (or more, because each embryo can still split into identical twins)!

She's coming for a visit this Saturday, though!

I am sorry to heat that ouchy, hopefully you have other support near by.
Akcheryl are you excited for the possibility of more than one? Or does it scare you? Whe will you find out how many?
Being on clomid there is a chance of twins but it is a real slim chance!

My husband and I want a LOT of kids, so multiples would be wonderful. But however many there are, it's a blessing. It would be difficult to handle more than two though, since our families live thousands of miles away.

Well I hope you get what you want. I already have! Yeah I agree anymore than two would just be that much harder. You only have two boobs for a reason. LOL
