You know how I haven't had much nausea in this pregnancy? Yeah. Um. I lied. A lot. I am very much regretting having been worried about my lack of nausea. YUCK.

History in brief (maybe not so brief...)
- 2002ish: Diagnosed with PCOS/anovulation
- 11/02: married my wondermous husband S. Immediately started TTC.
- much of 2003: OB/GYN insisted that the only reason I couldn't get pregnant was that I am overweight.
- 2004: OB/GYN conceded that Clomid might help matters. 5 useless clomid cycles.
- 10/2004: Our fabulous Foster Son, J came to live with us
- 8/2005: started seeing an RE
- 2/2006: 1st IUI cycle failed
- 3/2006: 2nd IUI cycle failed
- 6/2006: 3rd IUI cycle failed.
- 7/2006: "Final" IUI cycle. Looked like it failed... I started bleeding before my beta, but it turned into a very low beta: 23.8
- 8/2006: Hey, you're not miscarrying, your beta keeps doubling! And look at that beautiful heartbeat!
- 9/8/06: Discharged from fertility clinic. Off to OB land with healthy heartbeat and 95% odds of carrying to term.
- 10/4/06: A reason for the bleeding comes to light... a subchorionic bleed is diagnosed, but the fetus is healthy and happy on ultrasound. Fingers and toes accounted for. Perfect beating heart. Perfect growth and development.
- 10/9/06: Columbus Day. Miscarriage at 12 weeks, one day gestation. Subsequent D&C.
- 1/07: 5th IUI fails
- 2/14/07: 6th ("final") IUI. I assume it is doomed to fail b/c my life isn't nearly cliche enough to conceive on Valentine's Day (besides, I don't celebrate Valentine's Day!)
- 2/24/07: Positive HPT. Faint, but definitely positive. Subsequent positive HPTs on 2/25, 2/26, 2/27...
- 2/28/07: Beta 228. Strong, strong positive. I begin to worry I have twins, but realize that I'm still well within average for the range for singletons.
- 3/8/07: Two gestational sacs.
- 3/13/07: THREE gestational sacs
- 3/16/07: One heartbeat, two smaller sacs
- 3/20/07: Three heartbeats
- 9/19/07: Sam, Ellie, and Abby were born.
- 10/13/07: Sam, Ellie, and Abby were discharged from the NICU

Blegh. It stinks that a good sign has to be so miserable.
FWIW, I get hammered every time I get smug about anything having to do with P and thinking that something is easy.
I am so sorry. It is all your hormones in your body! Nausea usually disappear after the first trimester, but it is one long and painful period. Eat small amounts on a regular basis. Do not eat to much. Do eat all the time. Carbs are the easiest thing to keep (bread and rice). You will eat plenty of healthy things when you feel better. Thinking of you
Bummer. On the bright side, if you're gonna puke it up anyhow, now is the time to eat junk food! Yaaaay!
Well, that's how I'd rationalize it anyway.
At least you'll have lots of time to search for chametz around the toilet...
Feel better!
Wow, even with so much going on, you are incredibly brave and strong and still manage to keep your kick-ass sense of humor!
I can't imagine what you're going through, I know you're faced with lots of happiness and lots of fear, all hitting you in the face at the same time.
I hope you do feel entitled to experience ALL of these emotions, because you ARE!
Okay, just my two cents :-)
