Hi ladies! I think I may have missed last week's check-in. Last week was a great week for us.
I got a doppler early in the week and was able to hear the heartbeat. It will be out go-to once a week, between u/s appointments.
Then on Friday we got our chromosome test back from my blood work and everything looks normal - big relief! At almost 13 weeks, I feel a lot better letting more people know. AND with the blood work, we learned that we are having a GIRL!
QOTW: I have a weak stomach so I'm pretty lame. Maybe turle? snail? I do love blood sausage, but that's a pretty regular Spanish/Puerto Rican dish.

21 weeks here, had anatomy ultrasound last week, my placenta is low lying so have restrictions (no sex, no bending, no lifting, no stairs, etc) for the next few weeks until next ultrasound. I'm a little bummed lately because I assumed pregnant with twins my belly bump would be bigger, I haven't gained much belly or weight but the girls are weighing perfectly so no worry there
8w4d and chugging along. Our second ultrasound was good yesterday and my first OB appt is Monday. We were able to find out from genetics that the embryo transferred is a BOY!
....I can't talk about food right now. MS is in full force:)
Randomly lurking to say seeing this update makes me so happy
24 weeks this week! I went to the MFM Wed and he would like me to gain some more weight. (at least 30-35 pounds by the end) I thought I was doing ok since I have gained 14 pounds between 9 and 22 weeks. I had the nurse weigh me before I left and I had gained 3 more pounds since 22 weeks, so I am gaining. . Hubby went and bought me some ensure to add to my diet and they taste pretty good. Twins are doing good. Baby A (1 pound 5 ounces) was slightly smaller then Baby B (1 pound 10 ounces). Heartbeats are good too.
Hope all is well with you all and as always cheering you guys on!!

I'm 9w today. Morning sickness comes and goes, except that every day it kicks in HARD around 8pm and lasts all night.
I had a pretty big bleeding scare last week, but since then, the constant flow of brown blood has finally stopped. I'm in a lot of pain, constantly, but I was warned to expect that because of the severity of my adhesions.
We also learned this week that we're having a girl
QOTW - nothing too crazy, I think. Probably gator on a stick?
Me: 34 / DH: 33
19-year history of endometriosis. Multiple surgeries and cyst removals. Forced directly into IVF due to blocked tubes and severe adhesions.
IVF w/ICSI and CCS #1 - Dec 2013 - Only 1 normal. Ended in CP
