Re: ~*~ 3T Grad Check In ~*~
Hi, ladies!
I am 16w5d today! Had my 16 week appt with the OB on Tuesday and everything still looks good. One little flipping, flopping bean. I am anxiously awaiting my next appt with the MFM on July 3 when we will find out if we are team blue or pink! I keep having dreams that we are having a girl but DH thinks it is a boy. Guess we will see.
I am starting to get a little hint of a baby bump, but most days I just look like I ate too much. Here is last week's bump pic.
I still lurk on you guys often and am rooting for each of you to get your bfps soon! Sending lots of love and ((hugs)) to those who need them.
QOTW: hmmmm....these days my main craving is pizza so I like any place that serves pizza. Probably on a normal day my favorite place is this little local Mexican restaurant. They serve endless chips, queso, and tortillas. YUMMY!

**ALL** Welcome
Team Purple!!!!
Things are going very well. I'll be 15 weeks tomorrow. I can't believe that I'm almost to the halfway point. I'm still amazed that there's a little human growing inside of me.
I had an appointment yesterday with my midwife and everything looks good. We heard the heartbeat and it was 160. I keep teasing my husband because I've believed this baby was a girl from the very beginning and then there's that old wives tale about girls heart rates vs boy heart rates. I haven't gained any weight or lost any weight but I'm starting to get a noticeable little bump.
Had my NT scan at 12w6d and everything came back great. Here are two profile pictures of my little bean.
Still rooting for you girls! Miss you bunches and I'm still lurking and loving posts on the regular.
RE appointment & testing December 2013 - February 2014= Unexplained IF, possible endometriosis
IUI#1- March 22 (100mg clomid, 75 mg of Bravelle, Ovidrel trigger) = BFP!!!

I am 34 weeks on Monday and gearing up for the final countdown... my head is still trying to comprehend that Lil Mamba will be here soon, God willing. The fear and devestation of TTTC and TTCAL still manifests itself in irrational fears that the other shoe will eventually drop but I have been able to remind myself that our journey has been long, tough, humbling, and worth every minute; good or bad. We finally finished the "must-haves" off of the registry and I have given myself two weeks to finish. July will be spent lounging in the A/C and dodging the tornadoes and floods that we are known for here!
QOTD: My favorite place to eat is a cafe in my mother's hometown in the middle of South Dakota... Best BLT and fries with gravy made by my great-grandpa and served by the best and most loving lady ever, my great-grandma. I miss them and those times!
I wish you all the very best and pray that you never lose hope!

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)
