TTC #1 since 2/2011
Me: 28 DH: 29 2 Cycles Femera, 4 IUIs, IVF#1 (BNF), IVF#2 (BFN).
23 weeks 4 days here. Soooo close to v-day! Come on Thursday! Been having some back aches all weekend and a constant pressure in my lower abdomen. Hoping it's just everything stretching. Last night I had a little bit if really mucosy discharge. Now I'm all paranoid it was part of my mucus plug. It was like a clear/very light yellowy ish color. Idk. I wish I wasn't so dang paranoid. My next appt is next Tuesday so still a week away.
QOTD: No name yet. I wish one would pop out at me and I would just be like 100% yes. Right now, I think we are leaning towards Brayden Patrick though.

Me (26) & DH (26) Dog Momma to 2 amazing furbabies Started dating: May 6, 2005 & Married: August 4, 2012 Diagnosis: PCOS September 2013 - January 2014:Not trying but not preventing February 2014:Officially TTC (BBT, OPKs, etc) February-August 2014:Irregular Cycles, U/S showed Fibroids/Cysts, Provera required to get AF, BFNs September & October 2014: Testing Months with Reproductive Endocrinologist!

Thinking of you, @dsculley1824 !!! Hope all is well and your appointment gives you some reassurance!
Today is 27w+1d!!! A milestone my best friend celebrated with us by making a cake that said "Happy Fetal Viability Day" (hahaha in the shake my head kinda way.) Happy our LO has a 85-90% chance if delivered now, so that's mildly reassuring... but it doesn't look like he's going anywhere anytime soon. He seems perfectly comfy in there. Excited for next week's ultrasound! Hoping to see a lot of growth especially in the head circumference area (u/s at 20 weeks measured in the 8th percentile)
QOTD: Have you picked a name yet? How do you respond to the name suggestions/questions you get?
- Sure have - Skyler Hunter (Sky for short). I've actually had that name picked out since I was 15 and hubby loved the middle name, so we were able to decide pretty early on (around 10 weeks). I think since we decided so quickly we didnt' get a lot of suggestions/questions. But I just brush them off like "Oh, ok... well maybe we'll name our next one that haha"
It is our last week here in this check in so wishing everyone the best in this journey!!! Good Luck!
Hello ladies, I hope everyone is doing well and babies are happily growing away. 26 weeks tomorrow, I have so much coming up next month, my baby shower, going to New Orleans for my brothers wedding and much more, we have yet to buy a piece of nursery furniture or much of anything else, maybe we should get started! QOTD- I THINK we have picked Harrison but no middle name yet and we haven't told many people

Hey Ladies! Can't believe it's my last check-in. Here we come third tri!! It's very surreal to think how far I've made it and how big my bump is already (oh boy!!)! I'm in the middle of my glucose test right now. FX I pass! Afterwards I'm headed to my OB for a routine check-up.
QOTD: I'm name obsessed and have three complete boy and girl names picked (that DH agrees with too!)! Haha. Ready for the future I guess. We are going with Oliver for this babe. When people ask me, I tell them we're keeping it a secret. It's fun to have one surprise.
Good luck with the rest of 2nd tri ladies and see some of soon in 3rd tri!
"Will you be my Valentine?" 2/14/2004

TTC #1 since 2/2011
Me: 28 DH: 29 2 Cycles Femera, 4 IUIs, IVF#1 (BNF), IVF#2 (BFN).
25 weeks and hanging in there. With the nicer weather my activity restrictions have been a bit of a bummer. But I just keep telling myself it's just for a short time. OB appointment this week and hopefully all is going well and problem free.
QOTD: I think we actually have names picked out for the twins now but we are not sharing with anyone. We are leaning toward old-fashioned names - think names that were popular in the 1880s per the Social Security website. We did this with DD too. People constantly ask us about names - even family - but I don't want anyone's opinion about it. They will learn the babies' names when they meet them - and I dare them to make a rude comment then.
Me: 35 DH: 35 - Married 10 years PCOS and MF Two failed rounds IUI in 2010 IVF #1 in 2011 - BFP 8/5/11 - Our IVF miracle was born 4/8/12 FET 9/23/13; BFP -Twins-10/3/13; EDD 6/10/14; MC 11/1/13; D&C 11/4/13 FET 3/28/14; BFN - 4/7/14 IVF #2 - Transfer 2 embryos 11/14/14; BFP 11/24/14 - Beta 265; 11/26/14 - Beta 612; 11/28/14 - Beta 1263; 12/1/14 - Beta 3571; 12/3/14 - first u/s - two gestational sacs; 12/17/14 - two healthy heartbeats (132 and 134) Our IVF miracles were born 7/16/15
I missed last weeks checkin due to a conference. Baby is kicking up a storm! I will be 25 weeks tomorrow. I can't believe how quickly this has gone. My tailbone is killing me and extreme exhaustion has JUST started. I know I should feel lucky because it seems like most people are tired the whole time. I have felt pretty normal in that regard.
I have my diabetes test in two weeks, but nothing until then. For the most part, have you ladies enjoyed being pregnant? Because I know I shouldn't say this, but I have hated it. I am so thankful to be pregnant, but the sickness, sleeplessness and weight gain have really been rough on me.
QOTD: Yes, we are naming her Elliott Paige and we are just starting to tell some people. I really didn't want my husbands parents to know/judge us, but he told them and they reacted as I expected..... very concerned that we would name a girl with a boy name. I believe her exact response was "REALLY!? Well okay...." I mean, it makes me angry, but I did expect them to hate it. We love it, so that's all that really matters.
I am 21 weeks 4 days. We have been working on the nursery this week. My belly is getting huge! I swear I am the size I was with my 1st at 30 weeks.
QOTD: We are naming her Alexandra Grace. We got a lot of suggestions, but most of the feedback for the name we picked has been pretty positive.
TTC #1 January 2009 January 2010 SA results: Count 16 million, Motility 40%, Morphology 2% January 2010- Surprise BFP!

After seeing the uro, DH is currently taking lots of supplements and clomid to try to boost his count. We will have a repeat SA in February to see if it works. Follow up SA numbers are: Count= 4 million, Motility= 40%, Morphology= 1% Uro wants us to have another follow up SA 5/9 to see if we see further improvement than we are back to the RE to make a game plan.

Hey all! I am so glad to read that everyone is doing so well! I am now 22 weeks and counting every single day until v day. I have an OB appt tomorrow and don't expect anything to happen hopefully! I am not looking forward to the weight. I know it's too much but I really feel like I'm doing almost everything I can. QOTW: we haven't decided on names, but like about 5 so far. We will tell no one if we make a choice before he's born. I don't want anyone's input or advice!

Hey all! At 21w4d. We had our Babymoon last week and while we were there my DH felt her kick! It was awesome! We registered tonight. I'm not a pink fan so I was leaning towards purple, teals and yellows. The pink on there is from DH having the gun. He said pink is for girls. Lol. Sigh. God love him.
QOTW: yes!!! Liv Annmarie. It means life and god has favored me. I love the name we picked out. I have everyone ask me if it's Olivia and Liv for short. Nope just Liv and no I don't want to change it

23 wks tomorrow! Mostly feeling good- some heartburn, ankles are a little puffy, and tired. But I think the fatigue is related to our closing on a new house next week and our current house being for rent/having daily showings. I'm over it.
We have maternity pics this weekend! It's a little early, but the belly is already large and in charge, and i don't want to be too big. We may do a 2nd set in a few weeks with a friend's dad too.

Hi ladies... I can't believe this is my last check in here! Next week I'll be joining the 3rd tri.... how is that possible!?! I don't know why, but reaching 28 weeks feels like a huge milestone to me. Next week I have my 2nd glucose test. Passed first, my OB does 2 with twins. I also have an MFM appointment to check cervical length. Hasn't been an issue so far!
So happy to hear everyone is doing well! Can't wait for you to join @caringcat & @KevinandJesse and I over at 3rd tri! Hope you all have an uneventful rest of 2nd tri!

QOTW: yes!!! Liv Annmarie. It means life and god has favored me. I love the name we picked out. I have everyone ask me if it's Olivia and Liv for short. Nope just Liv and no I don't want to change it
We have maternity pics this weekend! It's a little early, but the belly is already large and in charge, and i don't want to be too big. We may do a 2nd set in a few weeks with a friend's dad too.
QOTW- we have the boys name ready to go. Girl's is on the fence. We aren't sharing - too many opinions and opinionated people!
