Re: ***2nd Tri Check-in 5/20/14***
4 rounds of clomid, 2 with IUI = BFN
I can't believe I'm about to be in 3rd tri!! It seems like time has flown by and drug by at the same time. The shower was good, the hostesses did a great job and we got lots of goodies. However, it was very awkward. Most of my family is very reserved and I wasn't feeling well so it was a quiet affair. The class was great and so worth it! I think it will help DH & I be more confident in baby care. Today I met the pedi my OB recommended and I really liked him. I think his personality and style of care is a good fit for me. My next OB appt is Friday and they'll be doing a cervical check. I'm hoping I get the u/s tech who likes to take a peak at the babies. I haven't seen them since May 5th and really want to see how much they've grown! If not, I'll have to wait till June 3rd to see them again. I've been spoiled with all the ultrasounds I've had!
QOTW: The biggest thing I've accomplished is buying and getting all the nursery furniture assembled. Now I just need to figure out the optimal placement of the dresser, changing table and 2 cribs. I'd like to have a rocker, but I'm not sure I can squeeze one in. The nursery is currently a disaster zone. We put all the shower gifts in there and I attempted to sort through everything, but I think I made a bigger mess. I've headed back in there a few times to try to organize, but ended up looking around and then walking right back out! I need my semi-OCD sister to come help!!

If you're wondering about my avatar...it's a fried pickle chip shaped like a fetus!
So this week I am 26w4d...I can hardly believe it, the shower is in 2 1/2 weeks and I am shamelessly stalking my registry. I somehow find registry stalking relaxing. Health wise, last week was crazy. I have been having an issue with my nipple, so the OB had me come in. They ended up doing my regular appointment and the 1 hr gtt, but I was totally stressed out and I failed but 10 points. I scheduled the 3 hr for Friday and our dog got sick on Wednesday night (diarrhea everywhere all night long) so after two not so good nights I took the 3 hr. I was 6 points over on the 1hr, but but the second hr I was lower than I needed to be for the 3hr, so I passed, thank goodness! But I am anemic...right now they are not going to treat the anemia because the OB that I had for the test (I don't normally see her, but I did b/c of the last minute nipple thing) doesn't treat anemia unless you fall to a critically low level. I am grateful to avoid the constipation of iron pills, but I will be eating a ton of spinach and red meat...maybe I can fix it with diet. As for my weird nipple issue, it isn't as painful anymore, but it is completely scabbed over now. There is no way that is normal, but at least I am no longer grabbing my breast in public due to sudden pain! I am starting to fear that DH is never going to want to touch my breasts again after this baby stuff is over. He absolutely refuses to touch the baby bump because it freaks him out that there is a person in there.
As for everything else...well, Otis, our dog, is better. He is the most expensive free dog ever, but we love him. I was really scared when we took him to the vet, but they were able to give him some meds and he is feeling so much better now! Also, it looks like after a brief time back in intubation, they have once again removed that for my uncle. They are hoping to move him out of the ICU and into a facility that will do daily physical therapy by the weekend. He still has quite a bit of swelling, but we are hoping that he can continue to avoid surgery. And the only other news is that my summer job (I work at a college, so summers are off and unpaid may have fallen through. I was working on a summer camp, but we haven't gotten many applications so the camp might not run. This would mean two extra months of no pay and I feel I should bring something in, but I can't figure out what place will hire someone for 2.5 months. I am totally open to suggestions!
QOTW: the biggest thing I have done is purchase the crib, but it isn't together yet...at the end of this week though, the room will be completely cleaned out, so that is good. The biggest thing I feel I still have left is setting everything up...and I plan on doing that after the shower.
4 rounds of clomid, 2 with IUI = BFN
I've been looking for daycare for the twins. I don't plan on going back to work until January (taking 12 weeks of leave) but finding daycare is tough! and expensive! The lady we really wanted lives four houses down from us (perfect!!!) and is reasonably priced (perfect again!) but she said the idea of twins overwhelmed her and she couldn't imagine keeping two babies at one time...... in her words, "I just don't think I'll be able to give them the care and attention they need." UGH! Seriously???
Then my MIL and her partner agreed to keep the twins one day a week, but she asked if she could just keep one twin at a time. No. Just no. That is no help at all and not something we want to do. I think we'll just have to "train" her on twin care and make sure that she is comfortable with keeping them and then she'll be fine. Still frustrating....

Things are going well with me! I have started to feel the baby move which is such a relief and it was also good to hear the heartbeat at the OB appt last week! The anatomy scan is this coming Monday (Memorial Day) and I am anxiously awaiting that!
The QOTW has made me realize we have alot to do before LO arrives! We literally have not done anything yet! We have a 21 month old son and have kept all of his things. We will need to get the room that we currently use as our office ready for the nursery and also need to buy a convertible crib for Jeffrey so that LO can use his crib (Jeffrey sleeps so well in a crib that we don't want to transition to a toddler bed yet).
Hope everyone has a good week!
Hello! I would love to be added. I just graduated from the first Tri check-in and today I am 14 weeks! My EDD is Nov 19th, and we are blessed with a sweet baby girl.
This week has been a little rough, I had been getting sonos every 2 weeks and now I don't get those anymore. I have been a little panicy cause I dont have any symptoms anymore (which I know is normal for the 2nd tri) I have alot of stretching (at least that is what I hope it is), and so that is worring me more than it probably should. But I am trying to stay calm and wait patiently for my doppler.
QOTW: I know how I want to do the nursery, but DH and I both agreed to wait until 20 weeks but I want to get started soo bad! This weekend we are telling DH's family the gender, and then (hopefully) mine soon after. I cannot wait for everyone to know we are having a girl.
I know I am new to the group but I will be happy to take over check-ins. I dont know everyone but I am more than willing to try. Just let me know if you ladies want me to do it.

25 weeks today! Gosh, time flies. Took my 1-hr glucose challenge yesterday and asked them not to call me until next Tuesday with results, since we are going on our babymoon this weekend Baby is measuring on-track and doc is happy, so I'm happy
QOTW: I feel like we've done very little so far - IF-brain plus Jewish superstition. We do have a crib from a friend if I can just arrange to pick it up. What's left is pretty much everything. MIL wants to get us a dresser/changing table. My folks will probably spring for the car seats (one for each car). We aren't really planning to decorate the nursery, but we do want to get a glider.

Today we are 17 weeks! I am so pumped to see the time just ticking by as we wait for that miraculous "V-day".... I have hit a honeymoon day here in my body and am thoroughly enjoying not being sore or totally missing my energy and I'm getting a lot done at work for once.
We DID get our MFM appointment, so that's next week. They're giving us an ultrasound there (they like to do their own in that clinic), so I'm expecting to get a better view of the babies on their fancy machine.
I just got an email that the teenage daughter of one of our friends may be interested in helping us out with house and baby-related things in the fall when I'm home. She's in High School, and only 15, so it would be limited help after school hours and only when I'm home - but I'm so happy to have that potential to hopefully get to know her a bit better, AND to have someone from our community of people who may become a babysitter when the babies are older who will get to know them from the beginning.
QOTW: We a day last weekend cleaning out or baby room some more and moving furniture around. My mom is actually going to order our cribs this week I think, so we'll have a ton of stuff ready pretty early. I am hoping to get a crib set up relatively early so we can start teaching the cat that it's NOT okay for her to be in it at all. We have two pets so getting them prepared has been part of the process... otherwise, I think that may be the last piece we do until our Showers in June and July....

We lost our beautiful Twin baby girls on June 18, 2014. Tavin Sara and Casey Elizabeth were born at 21 weeks gestation and were absolutely beautiful, precious, amazing babies. We miss our daughters every day and love them with all our hearts.
QOTW: What is the biggest baby related thing you have accomplished so far? Probably the biggest baby thing is finding the daycare and pediatrician.
What is the biggest baby related thing still on your to-do list? We still need to do the nursery, the wallpaper is 99% removed, now we need to fix the walls, paint, and assemble the furniture.
I'm sorry to hear that you cancelled. Major bummer!! I hope next time is way better!
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
FET #1 December 2014
Thanks to @allison7 for the great check in. @Ashris13-If you need any help or just need a break let me know. I was going to offer to help out, but you beat me to it.
As for me everything is going well here. Nothing new to report. Next appointment is on 6/5 and its just a 24 week appointment, nothing special. LO has been kicking away the last few days, its pretty cool to be feeling it so well. People who don't know me are now noticing my pregnancy. I feel like I am big already (I've gained 15lbs since BFP) but most people say I am only carrying it in the front. We did decide we will get a 3D ultrasound done between 28-30 weeks so still some time to figure out where.
QOTW: What is the biggest baby related thing you have accomplished so far? We haven't gotten anything done unless you count getting our registries done. What is the biggest baby related thing still on your to-do list? Everything. We got a suggestion to not buy anything until our shower but then my friend told me she isn't planning to have my shower till 1 month before my due date. Plus my FIL is making our crib and dresser so I am starting to think we may need to buy something just to have it in case LO shows up early. (In Laws live in MI and we aren't expecting to see them until after LO is born). Gosh looking at what you guys have done makes me feel like a real slacker.
I hope everyone has a great week!@Allison7 thank you for the great check in and good luck in 3rd tri!
I am 24 weeks 2 days so past V-day! I was just laying down feeling her kick away... it's still so amazing to me. I can't believe there is a little one in there. I have an OB appointment tomorrow. Nothing exciting. High BP + GD = High Risk which means I feel like I'm constantly at my OB. Just not looking forward to when he bumps me up to 2x a week.
QOTW: Our biggest accomplishment has to be the nursery. We was just waiting on our glider that should be here next week and then I need some wall décor up on the walls and then I think we just need the baby. I'm a FTM so I really have no idea. The nursery seems like the biggest project so nothing really left on our to-do list.
Here is a picture of our crib just an AW moment!
TTC since Sept 2011, Unexplained IF
Oct 12 - Jan 14: 3 clomid/TI cycles, 2 hysteroscopies, 2 IUIs, 1 BFP (MMC @ 12w), 2 more IUIs
Feb 14: Gonal-f + IUI #5 = BFP! (EDD 11/4/14)
Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
I will be 18weeks tomorrow. No real developments this week. Thought I may have felt baby move but unsure. I felt it twice before once at like week 12 when u/s tech made baby move for pics. And same feeling at 14 or 15 weeks. Different feeling this time but may just be gas. My next appointment (basic check up)is next Friday. We have anatomy scan 6/5. I can't wait!
QOTW:
Biggest thing I've done is look into birthing classes at the hospital, although I didn't sign up yet. Biggest thing to do is EVERYTHING! Lol. We are waiting for anatomy scan to do registry and my FIL will be coming mid to end of June to redo the drywall in the nursery. Once the room is ready I'll get the furniture.
1/13 Decided to pursue DIA, 4/13 Home study Approved 9/13 Matched!
10/13 DS home with us! 2/14 TPR completed 5/14 ADOPTION IS FINAL!
3/14 Surprise BFP 11/14 DD is here!
I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow. I've been on the road for the last week, and didn't sleep well the last 2 nights. Thought I was coming down with a cold, but I think it might have been allergies. . .we shall see. Really nothing new to report. . .just waiting for our A/S on June 20th, which seems like forever.
QOTW: We were going to wait until after our a/s before setting up the registry. So really no progress. However, some of our friends have started giving us some of their baby stuff - activity center, a moby baby wrap, baby papasan and some other random stuff for the car. My cousins are going to bring us their crib, so one crib will be taken care of. My big goals before the a/s is to research daycare centers, which is tough because we aren't exactly sure when I'll be going back to work (I use to commute 3 hrs one way. . .not possible with twins coming) and sign up for classes at the hospital.

Thanks for adding me! 16 weeks - feels great! Starting to feel what I think is baby, 'bubbles' seem to happen pretty reliably when I sneeze Off to my regular Dr. appt in a couple of hours.
QOTW: Biggest accomplishment was actually making this little Nacho Not having the office cleared out so we can truly start on the nursery is driving me crazy, but DH is finally off work this weekend so I'm hoping!!!

Welcome Piper Laine!! November 10, 2014
Once again, I'm really late to this check in. But in my defense I was actually doing work on Tuesday instead of bumping Thanks @Allison7 for a good check in!
I'm 25w6d today and feeling LO move more regularly now. DH felt him for the first time this week and immediately pulled his hand back, almost like he had been burned! He thought it was weird. Not sure he'll do it again, maybe. I think the curiosity will get to him. I did a cystic fibrosis test and results are all clear (just checking to see if I'm a carrier). I just wanted to know so I could be prepared financially and with whatever equipment might be needed to clear LO's lungs. But all clear, so I don't have to worry about it.
QOTW: What is the biggest baby related thing you have accomplished so far? We got the crib, changing table and a rocker - now just have to put them all together. I fully expect DH to be cursing up a storm as he does it. He has very little patience when putting things together.
What is the biggest baby related thing still on your to-do list? Finish putting stuff on my registry! Shower is in a month and invites are probably going out this weekend. I know I'm missing small stuff, but I feel like I'm missing the big stuff too. Ugh.
TTC on and off since 2005

Dx : DOR
IUI #1 (Follistim switched over to Menopur injections) - BFN
Attempted IUI #2 (Menopur injections only cycle) better response on the Menopur then the Follistim combination treatment cycle however my cycle was still canceled due to my eggs not maturing and follicles not growing enough on a high dose of Menopur (Re said I could try a cycle of comid + ovidrel for an IUI) for my second IUI( praying this works for us)
Clomid + Ovidrel protocol worked still a BFN as a result
Attempted cycle Clomid + Ovidrel protocol for IUI # 3 (Unable to do this cycle due to a cyst)
