I know that you will cherish your pregnancy & child more than people who go through conceiving w/out assistance, another reason I'm so happy you're pregnant. Lastly, so sorry you're feeling tired, icky, but those are definitely good signs things are progressing as they should:)rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06480554666969330506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608261356175252037.post-50048362700994784072010-02-03T22:36:20.385-08:002010-02-03T22:36:20.385-08:00Emily I feel the same about feeling guilty too abo...Emily I feel the same about feeling guilty too about being pregnant while so many other women who also want it bad, are not. I think it's normal though. We have been part of that "circle" for a long time and to become part of the "pregnant" circle now it feel strange! To be honest though I don't intend to leave my IVF boards, I find I don't belong in the ordinary pregnancy boards! It's strange!<br /><br />Anyway, love those signs and symptoms!!! Keep them coming I say!!! :)))Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06372510531044243177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608261356175252037.post-82972253140146776992010-02-03T17:54:12.264-08:002010-02-03T17:54:12.264-08:00First CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!

Did you know that your babies heart started beating today. It's to small to hear (even on u/s) right now, but a good tech with a good machine can see a flicker! Isn't that exciting! I only know, becuase you are a day ahead of me, and our 'heartbeat' day is tomorrow!Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05749642916899596407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608261356175252037.post-44938614001726688212010-02-03T12:39:35.054-08:002010-02-03T12:39:35.054-08:00Thanks so much for the support girls: ) Even the ...Thanks so much for the support girls: ) Even the ones that are laughing at my symptoms!

I am so glad to finally be pregnant (it took us 11 years) but I wish that all of my IF friends were pg with me. It breaks my heart that others are still waiting. <br /><br />Enjoy all of your symptoms!!! I don't have any and it scares me at times. Hopefully you don't get too sick!Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16346777903276344723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608261356175252037.post-22525702592229495562010-02-03T11:36:47.976-08:002010-02-03T11:36:47.976-08:00I just found your blog during the last ICLW, but w...I just found your blog during the last ICLW, but wanted to let you know that I'm here to stay! I know the feeling of leaving the IF world behind in a sense, but for me it's more about finding a blog that I like to read and rejoicing in their happiness. I always say that there isn't a finite amount of happiness, so your happiness doesn't mean that there is less out there for me to have. <br /><br />Pgcy blogs give me hope and I'm sooo looking forward to joining you soooon! And I have a feeling that I would be one smiling right alongside you with the symptoms! Funny, too, that you described the pain I had so perfectly. My boobs were the only horrible symptom I had before we lost Mya and when you called them unicorns poking around from the inside, it summed it up perfectly!Christinahttp://subfertilefrugalista.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608261356175252037.post-20001051300089040522010-02-03T11:25:09.050-08:002010-02-03T11:25:09.050-08:00I think it is normal to feel guilty about being pr...I think it is normal to feel guilty about being pregnant knowing that there are others out there that are still struggling. You've been through it and you know how other may feel reading your blog now. However, your story gives us hope that we too can one day be pregnant with our own. <br /><br />Enjoy your pregnancy. Some that can't handle reading about it may stop for a while, but that's OK. Then there are other (like me) who rejoice and celebrate with you. Maybe even secretly laugh at your suffering LOL! But seriously, I do hope you feel better, but enjoy it anyways!Baby On Mindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11419837391783690484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608261356175252037.post-42628532353773123902010-02-03T11:05:02.203-08:002010-02-03T11:05:02.203-08:00I think that you need to get over the feeling of g...I think that you need to get over the feeling of guilt. As Priscilla said, it is a different story when someone who had battled the land of IF and finally conceives vs. someone whining because they have been trying for 2 whole months and still isn't pregnant (or DOES get pregnant!) <br /><br />Either way, I will continue to follow your blog and am so happy that you feel like the dog turd that made you gag :-)Molshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06213217957695204482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608261356175252037.post-89884260729199197492010-02-03T09:49:04.141-08:002010-02-03T09:49:04.141-08:00I felt the same way when I first learned I was pre...I felt the same way when I first learned I was pregnant...like a traitor who had jumped ship. But most of the ladies on here reassured me that its different when an IFer gets pregnant vs. seeing a friend who got knocked up on the first try....now those types of pregnancies make us all feel a little different. I would think everyone here is THRILLED for you after everything you have been through!!! :) <br /><br />I'm happy to hear that you're exhausted and that your boobs are super sore...those are excatly what my early symptoms we like. I never had any morning sickness vomitting and I hope you are as lucky, but at least we all know that if it does happen to you, you'll be puking with a smile on your face!! :)<br /><br />Congrats again, Mama!!
