Married 8/2008.

3/27 ET: transferred 1 embryo, beta 9dp5dt=163, 12dp5dt=639
4/25 1st ultrasound at 7 weeks = identical twins with heartbeats?!!!
PPROM at 31w, delivery at 32 weeks of two beautiful girls
Re: *2nd Tri Check-In*
QOTW: c section all the way for me. i've always been terrified of a vaginal birth and was the first question i asked my dr. "so, how about a c section?". his response was "sounds good. we'll plan it as the time get closer". works for me!
QOTW: IF has definitely changed my plans for delivery - I used to want a med-free vaginal birth and now I honestly am just thankful to be pregnant at all that no matter how the baby or babies in my case come out as long as they are alive and healthy I will be happy. And considering the fact that I am having twins I am trying to prepare myself for the likely possibility of a c-section. Although if everything goes well and they are both head down then I will push for a vaginal delivery.
Dx: PCOS and MFI
3 IUIs, 4 IVFs = BFFN
3rd RE: IVF #5/FET = BFP

I hit 23 weeks yesterday and had our monthly OB visit. All sounded great! Feeling more and more of baby boy's kicks and loving every minute of it. I've had some cramping which OB said sounds like BH but they aren't too often or for too long so I was told just to stay hydrated and call if they become consistent. Nausea has improved although I still can't stand a lot of foods that I used to like.
Q: I'm hoping for vaginal delivery with epidural. I had a complication from a spinal tap several years ago and remember them telling me when they patched the leak, that was fun, that I may have issues getting an epi down the line. I sure hope not! Have to call the anesthesiologist about this but waiting till I'm further along so I don't dread delivery the next several months haha
