Happened to me at 5 weeks. Only went for u/s because I was spotting. Lost pregnancy. Waited for first period and bought OPK kit. Got pg again that cycle (at 36). Went for u/s immediately and there were THREE sacs. Lost two of them, but ended up with healthy db who's now three. Fertility in enhanced post m/c, so if you do get pg right away, there's a much higher chance of multiples. Gl! [ Reply | More

I'm not sure what "diverse" means, but I have dc there and I that's not the first word I'd use to describe it. There's a mix of older Italian families whose parents have lived in the neighborhood for decades, "artsy" families who moved in before house prices took off, and now lots of affluent new parents. Overcrowding has not been an issue -- the class sizes are quite small -- although its popularity is steadily growing and the lower grades are now nearly twice as large as the older ones. It has the feel of a very small school where all the kids are friends and principal knows everyone's name. [ Reply | More
