Trying To Conceive since November 2009
Dx: PCOS and MFI
IUI#1-4 all BFN
IVF#1 January (4R, 4M, 1F) BFP
Colt was born on 10/27 at 11:50pm. 6lbs and 19 1/4"
Update: I had a appointment with my OB this morning and everything is looking good! We got the final results of our NT and quad screen. Our DS risk was 1:4700 and something else was 1:1100 but I cant remember what it was. Everything else they test for was 1:>50000. At our next appointment I will have my 1 hour glucose test, ugh!
QOTW: Every year that DH is not deployed we spend the 4th of July holiday with his family in IL. The Saturday before the 4th the town next to his does a fantastic fireworks display and then we go to his hometown's parade on the 4th. We will be spending 11 days up there this time since we won't be traveling with Colt for a while. I will be so ready to come home though!

No real updates, just anxiously awaiting my a/s on Thursday morning. I also have a cervical measurement u/s at my OB on Friday so I will be getting to see the little guys twice this week!
We are going to be in Maine for the 4th and we are staying for the whole week. DH has to work though since he is saving all of his vacation time for when the babies arrive, but at least he can work from Maine. I guess this is also our babymoon since we have no other trips planned. My parents are coming for the second half of the week and so are my brother and his fiance. We will also be celebrating our two year wedding anniversary on July 3rd.
No updates.. I am feeling good, just getting anxious to feel some sort of movement!! My tummy has definitely gotten bigger the last week or so though so that has been exciting!
QOTW: No real traditions... we usually just barbecue at home, especially if the holiday is during the week. We live really close to where our city does their fireworks, so usually fourth of July evening is spent trying to pry kitties from their hiding spots! I do have to say that I just realized that this will probably be the first fourth of July in a very long time that I will not be having beers!! Oh well, it is for a very good reason!
I hope you all have a great week and holiday!

How are you feeling? Any exciting news or updates?
I *think* the nausea is getting better. Maybe? Still just want to nap all the time. Luckily I only have 2 more days of work before a one month vacation. Hopefully my energy returns before I start my new job next month.
QOTW:Since
I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans
are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? We are going to Flathead Lake in Montana. For the last few years we have rented a cabin on the lake, and sit around doing nothing. It's amazing. Although our dog could do without the fireworks (it's on an Indian reservation so lots and lots of fireworks).

It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.
MTHFR A1298C & C677T, Immune Issues and Factor II
Update: Things are going very well so far. I feel Jackson move around everyday and DH got to feel him for the first time on Sunday! The only thing that has been bothering me is my carpal tunnel. I have to wear my brace on both arms at night time and almost all day long to have any relief.
QOTW: We always have a big pool party at my mother's house with our entire family. So excited to show off my bump next weekend!

How are you feeling? Pretty well. Sleeping overall much better. Not as paranoid about my previous tear - no spotting at all in almost a month ::knock on wood::Any exciting news or updates? My anatomy scan's tomorrow!!!!!!! Can't wait to find out if we're having a boy or girl Little stinker kept their legs shut at 17 weeks - LO better cooperate tomorrow!!QOTW: No holiday plans - DH has to work at night. We will probably just relax. We live in a touristy area - right smack between Atlantic City and Ocean City so it's nicer not to go out. Too much traffic!

hunterjumper, thanks for doing the check-in! Glad to hear your screening tests came back good!
Hope all the 2nd tri ladies are doing well, and safe travels to those who will be going away for July 4th.
How are you feeling? Week 2 of my cold and it's finally better. Never been this sick for so long! Also have a lot of BHs the last few days which has gotten me worried. OB nurse told me to drink lots of water but I don't think it's helping much.
Any exciting news or updates? I have been able to hear LO's hb via my stethoscope this past week; it's something I hadn't expected this early.
QOTW: Since I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? Since we moved back to the Boston area, we've been going to SIL's place for dinner followed by walking out on the Charles for the fireworks. Not sure if we're doing it this year b/c I don't know if I want to stand for 1-2 hrs with no easy access to bathroom facilities...
TTC since 10/2008 RE consult 6/2010 Dx:Unexplaied IF
Failed multiple cycles of Clomid+TI and Clomid+IUI
Update: I have been feeling good. I think I'm finally feeling movement! It feels like a popping/pulsing feeling. I have my monthly appointment tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to meeting with the OB again. The only negative is I have been dealing with insomnia the last few nights. I'm hoping it is something I ate/drink and not a look at what will be coming.
QOTW: For the actual fourth, I'm not sure where I will be because my father and DH need to o work on one of the two construction projects they are working on. We may do a clam bake whereever. HOwever, on that Friday we are heading up to ME for my grandfather's 90th birthday weekend. We really don't have any traditions so to speak, but I do like to catch the fireworks somewhere.
TTC since Jan. 2010 DX Unexplained infertility
3 IUI's w/Clomid & Ovidrel=all BFNs 3 IVF (2 Fresh, 1 frozen) =BFN Jan 2012 New RE & Fresh Cycle =BFP!
How are you feeling? Any exciting news or updates? No big updates. Our next level II ultrasound/ growth scan/ tv cervical check is on 7/3 at 24 weeks! I'm so eager to hear how the babies are doing (and how my body is holding up). I had been having lots of side and back pain, but the support belt has made all the difference! Both boys move all the time and now DH can feel them every day . At the last OB appointment, I was measuring six weeks ahead...right on track! QOTW: Since
I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans
are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? We don't really have a social life these days and my energy is hit or miss, so I think we will probably be taking it easy at home.
TTC in 2009, Dx: Unexplained IF
Three TI cycles (BFP...miscarriage), five IUI attempts and 2.5 IVF cycles later...BFP!!
12dp5dt: 765; 15dp5dt: 1979; 17dp5dt: 3379...TWINS!!!!!
Our perfect baby boys were born at 36w1d!!
How are you feeling? Any exciting news or updates? I have been feeling really good lately. Baby gave me a bit of a scare yesterday when I realized I had felt much movement over the weekend, but everything turned out A-OK. No big updates. QOTW: Since
I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans
are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? I will be working on the actual day, which is fine because I don't usually go to any cookouts or fireworks displays. The Sunday after 4th of July is my DH's annual family reunion so I will be spending that day sitting in front of a fan trying not to sweat to death.

How are you feeling? Feeling good. Been tired the last couple of days with a headache. I was a sleep at 8:30 pm last night.
Any exciting news or updates? My OB appt last week was nothing special. I heard the HB again :-)
Since I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? We have no traditions, I always try to drag my DH to some firework show. We have a friend who is going to be throwing a 4th of July party on the 6th. That will be fun.

How are you feeling? Feeling OK. I'm getting really tired in the afternoons now - so much for that 2nd tri burst of energy! Any exciting news or updates? My friend is coming with me to register next weekend so I'm looking foward to that! On the contraction front - they still suck. I had over 30 yesterday. Today's been better thankfully. Today at my appt. I found out my cervix has gone from 5cm on 6/1 to 3.5cm on 6/18. Still an average length for where I am, I know, but it's a bit alarming to know I've lost 30% of it in 18 days. I have a MFM appointment Friday so hopefully it'll be good news. QOTW:Since
I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans
are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? We don't have any real traditions...I'm sure I'll be eating some hamburgers on the grill though! And maybe some hot dogs if I can find the nitrate free ones...I miss hot dogs!!

No traditions yet but it's our 1st 07/04 here...i know that from where we live you can see downtown's fireworks so I just hope to make have a nice dinner and watch the fireworks. We've noticed our furbabbies have become terrified of them so we'll have to sedate them and stay close for this year.

How are you feeling? Any exciting news or updates? I feel good for the most part. My joints are starting to hurt a lot, especially my hips from sleeping on my sides. My blood sugar seems to be a lot better now, but the after breakfast number is still questionable from time to time.
QOTW: Since I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? No traditions really, usually just cookout. This year, I'll be staying inside for sure, as it was 104 degrees today!
No updates - we have our gender scan planned for July 9th so hopefully our muppet will cooperate!
We usually go to DH's parents house on the 4th (in central Nebraska). It will be fun but I am not in the mood to travel right now.
The only question I have that I am curious about is completing your family. I know I am putting the cart ahead of the horse but it took us 3 years to get pg with this LO and we always wanted 3 so we are having to rethink how we will complete our family going forward. I would like to hear others opinions on this and what they are going to do to achieve their ideal family size.

Hello ladies!! Please add me. My EDD is 12/12 with a singleton.
I think I feel little one in the evenings sometimes although I know it is really early. I still get sick in the mornings a couple times a week and I am still tired all the time. I am hoping the second tri energy burst happens soon . I also started feeling RLP for the first time last night... At leastthat's what I hope it is. I can't wait to hear LO's heartbeat at my next appointment, 7/10.
DH are going to FIL's for a party. The have one every year. It's going to be a hot one!

QOTW: No real plans for the 4th yet. DH and I will probably take advantage of having the day off to start clearing stuff out of the room that will become the nursery.
After 5 TI Clomid cycles, 5 IUIs, and 2 IVFs we finally got our BFP!
Beta#1 (12dp3dt)= 353, Beta#2 (15dp3dt)= 1466, Beta#3 (22dp3dt)= 14,139, First u/s: TWINS!!
After 10 weeks of bedrest, our two little ladies joined us at 28w6d
Update: I'm feeling pretty good. Still tired on and off, but it's much better than it was. I'm definitely more irritable lately, but I think it's b/c I'm surrounded by idiots at work.
I *finally* got to hear the baby's heartbeat at my last ob appt. Very cool!
QOTW: No real traditions. We usually go to see the fireworks and later watch the Macy's fireworks on tv.
Update: Nothing much at the moment, just anxiously awaiting my a/s on 7/9! I've been feeling pretty good all around. I'm still taking Zofran more often than not, and am wondering if my all day m/s plans on sticking around the whole time?! I feel like it's a normal part of daily life now Energy has been pretty decent, and I'm enjoying the ride!
QOTW: I think we plan on heading downtown to Freedom Fest with some friends. There will be a concert and big fireworks show. I'm sure we'll melt, seeing how it's been about 250 degrees here already!
Hope you ladies are having a wonderful week

Not sure if we're doing it this year b/c I don't know if I want to stand for 1-2 hrs with no easy access to bathroom facilities...Failed multiple cycles of Clomid+TI and Clomid+IUI

Our IVF miracle, Baby Boy M, arrived on 11/8/2012!
Update: I have been feeling good. I think I'm finally feeling movement! It feels like a popping/pulsing feeling. I have my monthly appointment tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to meeting with the OB again. The only negative is I have been dealing with insomnia the last few nights. I'm hoping it is something I ate/drink and not a look at what will be coming.
QOTW: For the actual fourth, I'm not sure where I will be because my father and DH need to o work on one of the two construction projects they are working on. We may do a clam bake whereever. HOwever, on that Friday we are heading up to ME for my grandfather's 90th birthday weekend. We really don't have any traditions so to speak, but I do like to catch the fireworks somewhere.

QOTW: Since I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? I will be working on the actual day, which is fine because I don't usually go to any cookouts or fireworks displays. The Sunday after 4th of July is my DH's annual family reunion so I will be spending that day sitting in front of a fan trying not to sweat to death.
How are you feeling? Feeling good. Been tired the last couple of days with a headache. I was a sleep at 8:30 pm last night.
Any exciting news or updates? My OB appt last week was nothing special. I heard the HB again :-)
Since I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? We have no traditions, I always try to drag my DH to some firework show. We have a friend who is going to be throwing a 4th of July party on the 6th. That will be fun.QOTW: Since I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? We don't have any real traditions...I'm sure I'll be eating some hamburgers on the grill though! And maybe some hot dogs if I can find the nitrate free ones...I miss hot dogs!!

No traditions yet but it's our 1st 07/04 here...i know that from where we live you can see downtown's fireworks so I just hope to make have a nice dinner and watch the fireworks. We've noticed our furbabbies have become terrified of them so we'll have to sedate them and stay close for this year.
How are you feeling? Any exciting news or updates? I feel good for the most part. My joints are starting to hurt a lot, especially my hips from sleeping on my sides. My blood sugar seems to be a lot better now, but the after breakfast number is still questionable from time to time.
QOTW: Since I will be out of town for 4th of July I want to know what your plans are for the holiday? Any traditions that you do every year? No traditions really, usually just cookout. This year, I'll be staying inside for sure, as it was 104 degrees today!No updates - we have our gender scan planned for July 9th so hopefully our muppet will cooperate!
We usually go to DH's parents house on the 4th (in central Nebraska). It will be fun but I am not in the mood to travel right now.
The only question I have that I am curious about is completing your family. I know I am putting the cart ahead of the horse but it took us 3 years to get pg with this LO and we always wanted 3 so we are having to rethink how we will complete our family going forward. I would like to hear others opinions on this and what they are going to do to achieve their ideal family size.

Hello ladies!! Please add me. My EDD is 12/12 with a singleton.
I think I feel little one in the evenings sometimes although I know it is really early. I still get sick in the mornings a couple times a week and I am still tired all the time.

I can't wait to hear LO's heartbeat at my next appointment, 7/10.

Update: Nothing much at the moment, just anxiously awaiting my a/s on 7/9! I've been feeling pretty good all around. I'm still taking Zofran more often than not, and am wondering if my all day m/s plans on sticking around the whole time?! I feel like it's a normal part of daily life now Energy has been pretty decent, and I'm enjoying the ride!
QOTW: I think we plan on heading downtown to Freedom Fest with some friends. There will be a concert and big fireworks show. I'm sure we'll melt, seeing how it's been about 250 degrees here already!
Hope you ladies are having a wonderful week
