What a lovely scan-pic. Just at the right angle - you can actually see the arm buds developing! So precious. I am happy for you!

Did not have much pg symptoms lately. And then - MS hit me hard last night. Was really very hungry, but did not feel like eating when we did actually sat down and then could not shake off that icky feeling for the rest of the night. How do you ladies feel? I do not feel like vomiting......I just feel like icky...and as if I will get nauseous if I start eating.

Yah Pinky!!!!

Reef - I use bio-oil and Justine's tissue oil. Twice a day...and a lot thereof! Had no stretchmarks with Lee. But, then picked up a little more weight with Mr. M and he gave me a few stretchmarks...and then...all the laparoscopies after him and with the many miscarriages - gave me LOTS of stretch marks!

Everything good.wil post more detail later

@Pinky - So excited for you!!! Please update us as soon as you are able

@Jooste - Im sorry you couldnt get that support as it is such a hard thing to go through alone. Argh I hate it when people make stupid comments about IVF when they have no research about it and have no idea how it works. Anyway... How blessed you are to be carrying another child

@Reef - EEEk you just reminded me!! I haven't been doing anything!! I'm getting more coconut oil today and I'm actually going to be using that, I love that its a natural product and did you ladies know it is also a fantastic replacement for expensive bum creams? I have been using it since I found out about my endometriosis as the chemicals in our beauty products contributes to its growth and I have been so happy with it. Even use it on my face!!! A good friend of mine used it as a bum cream and said it worked beautifully. She did advise to pay particular attention to our boobies as they get stretch marks easily.

So random question ladies since this is my first... what lotions and potions are you using to prevent stretch marks etc?

I am so glad that (Chanti) you have started some sort of support system. IVF is challenging and apart from forums on the web, I could not get much support. But....I also was not ready to enjoy any support. For me it was a challenge keeping my own emotions in tact and due to the nature of my work - I need to be very much emotionally stable and in tact at all times. So - I could not imagine having enough energy to also deal with my parents and in laws and friends' emotions while we are going through this struggle. My parents are very emotional and my mom freaks out at the tiniest of things. My in laws are rude - makes comments such as - if one does not manage to conceive on your own - you should accept it, because IVF is not necessarily in line with their religious views. I wonder what they would say if they new how Lee was conceived?

I have since talked more and....yes....Chanti....your feeling of making infertility less shameful is wonderful. I would join your group right now.....
