Love of my life baby boy born 11/11. One and done not by choice; 3 years of TTC yielded 4 MMC and 2 CPs, through 4 IUIs and 2 IVFs. Focusing on making the world a better place instead...and running.

Heartburn- watch what you eat. Stay away from tomatoes and other acidic foods. Yogurt and cheese are helpful, as are tums. Keep your head above your heart.
Apple cider vinegar is supposed to help too. I think it is a tablespoon in a glass of water?
I'm so happy to see you here Mushe (heart) (heart) (heart)
I too tested on FRERs. Once they stopped getting progressively darker I stopped. I don't trust wondfos as much for progressive darkening. FX for your next beta! I think those are great numbers!
FX, Mushe! In my very unprofessional opinion, those numbers still sound really good. My beta wasn't even until 12dp3dt and it was 227, so pretty close to yours at the same point. My nurse said they were looking for 100-200 at that first draw.
I didn't even buy HPTs until the weekend after my beta. I used to be a POAS-aholic. I did use all three in less than a week though. It was long wait between betas!
@cookiemonster03- I told DH that it's twins after I read your comment. And his reaction surprised me. "We will deal with it if that's the case" I told him we wouldn't know until our ultrasound and then laughed. I think he would prefer twins, at least my mom would be a huge help after all she raised me (a twin) and 2 other younger siblings.
ginkgoleaf I drank chocolate milk with DD and it worked really well. My favorite is the Kirkland signature organic boxes from Costco. They don't have to be refrigerated so I can keep one by my bed now if I need to.
I second drinking milk (chocolate or regular), and if you're lying down, lying on your left side is supposed to help. I have some Gaviscon I use for emergencies, but it's pretty disgusting and runs the risk of making me puke, which makes the heartburn worse.
Well I guess the nausea/gross feeling is going to start today, right on time at 5 weeks. :/ at least it reminds me that today I am pregnant and I am so very happy about that.

Yikes. I can try milk, but with my first pregnancy I thought it was giving me leg cramps when I had a big glass right before bed. Pregnancy conundrums.

I'm sorry. It's such a double-edged sword, isn't it?

I had my first beta on Thursday at 22-24dpo (I'm not quite sure when I ovulated since I ran out of OPK's this month). The PA called me yesterday with the results and told me they were 16,000?!?! I had another blood draw yesterday so waiting for those results.
My first ultrasound is Friday. I'm praying it's not twins! I have no idea a) how we'd afford 3 in daycare and b) where the heck we'd put them all in our house! We have no room as it is!

Ugh, it's the worst. I only had it for ONE day in my last pregnancy. This time it's been a week already! And it's awful!
I keep reminding myself this is a good sign of a healthy pregnancy, but it really does suck!

You're overachieving on beta numbers and nausea! I know it's not a good feeling, but it can be reassuring. So excited for you! You didn't have an u/s to check follies, right? I'm betting twins too.

Wow! FX for one healthy bean.
It does make me laugh how twins are more common for us mature ladies. I like the Leslie Knope 'going out of business sale' line, from Parks & Rec.

we have a 1500 sqft house with a tiny yard. And I still don't know how the heck we will pay for daycare. But It'll all work out with one bean or two!!
My anatomy scan was this morning and went well! Both babies on track and measuring really close together. Fetal echo in two weeks and growth scan in 3!
Did you find out what you're having? If so, are you sharing with the class?!

No because I didn't do any meds this cycle. I was coming off of 3 back to back clomid cycles. This was my off cycle before meeting the RE this month.

I couldn't even get pregnant with ONE for 2 years... and now to be pregnant naturally with twins?!?! OMG no. I can't. Not gonna lie though, I'm a bit scared with my high betas!
The "going out of business sale" really did make me LOL though!
