Hey ladies! So happy that fall is almost here! Can't wait to see everyone's updates!
20 weeks today! Had a scan yesterday with my MFM and the babies are looking excellent as far as growth. They loved showing off their boy parts for us My cervix looks great and we will get another scan in 3 weeks to see how they are doing! I swear I look 30 weeks pregnant. Can't wait to see what I am measuring at the OB tomorrow! Other than round ligament pain, and sciatica pain I am holding up ok. I have my out of state baby shower in a couple of weeks since I can't travel after 24 weeks. Can't believe it!

Things have been getting better for me. I am less tired. MS is mostly limited to the first couple of hours after I wake up. I went on 3 walks last week, one of which was a proper hike, after weeks of not having the energy to do anything. Progenity, the lab that does Verifi, botched up my test (and some others' tests who were in my batch). I had a funny feeling about doing a blood draw just before Labor Day weekend... So, I'm now waiting for the results of the re-test.
It feels really strange to be posting here, but today I will appreciate that I can.
AFM: waiting for an u/s and beta #3 on Friday. I'm feeling better today b/c the break-thru bleeding has eased up and when I POAS this morning, the line was much darker than two days ago. Yippee!!
Wishing you all the best. I can't wait to see some of my other fave ladies moving over here soon.

Congratulations on your wedding @lgsdesigner! I was lurking and saw the photos - stunning!
We are 21 wks and 3 days! Feeling ok - figured out how to position pillows to try to improve sleep - still not great but better - so that is a start.
Going in tomorrow for my repeat/follow-up anatomy scan. We are remaining team Green, but hope this little one cooperates this time so they can get all the measurements they need and maybe even get a shot of his/her little face without arms covering it up
Hope you all are having a wonderful week - and really hoping you all get your BFPs soon!

Hiya! I'm 5w3d, but feel very odd; I have some symptoms (bigger boobs, a bit more tired, constipation, etc.) but otherwise very little, and I still can't believe I'm preggers. For me, the TTC period has turned into limbo while waiting for my first proper prenatal appointment at 8 weeks; I have no information about what's really going on, absolutely zero control and just have to wait -- not easy after charting, temping, using OPKs, the monitor, etc. I'm guessing that a home hcg monitor would sell like hotcakes!
Hi everyone! Haven't been here in a long time. 21 weeks 1 day and everything is going great so far. Team pink for me
@marijaa333 The time between my bfp and first ultrasound was definitely the hardest so far. Stay positive and just a few weeks until a little mental relief!
Also I changed my signature awhile ago so by way of re intro I'm now 38 (bfp at 37) DH is almost 32. Ttc for almost a year before my first bfp in May.
Congrats @lgsdesigner on your wedding, the weather and scenery looked perfect!
FX for all of you in the 2WW! (Yes, major lurking here!), can't wait for you to join us on the other board!
I'll second Boring @BeckyP005 here! I'm 14 weeks today (wow, where did the time go??). Pretty much the same symptoms since week 8, feel pretty good in the morning then have afternoon/early evening nausea with some indigestion, fatigue, lower abdomen pressure and sore boobs.
My next OB appt is in 2 weeks and then very much looking forward to my anatomy scan in ~5 weeks. I was spoiled early on w/ 3 ultrasounds in 4 weeks. I want to see that baby again! I haven't felt any movement yet, but really looking forward to that as well!

33 weeks as of today, and sticking myself every morning and after every meal (damn you, Gestational Diabetes). The GD is the big news of the week, and it sucks, but it's forcing me to eat well and eat often and watch what I eat, and for that, it's sort of a blessing in disguise. My numbers have been decent, by and large, but was having some difficulty with my fasting numbers. Whey protein seemed to help regulate my fasting numbers this morning, so I will be buying that today. The other drama of the week was my kid failing his first NST. Lots of movement but his heartrate didn't accelerate to accompany the movement, so they made me do a biophysical profile which he passed with flying colors (which meant he then also passed the NST). Hoping he is perkier for next week's NST!
Otherwise, I can't believe I'm in the home stretch. We have NOTHING ready at this point, as our house has been under construction. Trying not to stress about that. I'm going to pack my hospital bag and just set up a "baby center" next to our bed, since the nursery isn't even started (ugh). Hoping to make it to full term this time around. Hopefully I can keep controlling the GD through diet and can VBAC. Hey, a girl can hope!
Glad to see everyone is doing so well, and congratulations to @IFinTN on your BFP!

I don't post on this board much as IF has been my home board but did not want to leave without saying good luck to everyone. I know how hard it is doing all this TTC stuff is above 35...the 20 something just don't get it like you ladies do!
I have been getting solid positive hpts since 4dp5dt from my FET last Friday. My beta is Monday and hoping for great news. Until then I will be peeing on all the sticks!!!
My 37th bday is on Sunday, so this is a great early bday present for me so far:)
Awesome news--congratulations!
