Pregnant after IF

~*~ 2nd Tri Check-in (10/7) ~*~

Thank you to @dp21 for taking over last week!  Really appreciate it, you did a great job :-)

Next week will be my last week in 2nd Trimester (WHAT?!!! Seriously, this snuck up on me) so I will need a volunteer to take over this thread.  You can start next Tuesday, or the following one.  Regardless, next week will be my last week participating before moving on up to 3rd Trimester.


This is a weekly check-in for PAIF members in their second trimester. You can feel free to join at 14 weeks and we will bid you an excited farewell on your way to 3rd Tri after 27 weeks.

If there are any newcomers that would like to be added to the list, post below and include your EDD.

- How far along are you this week?
- Any appointments or other updates?

Also, please let me know if I have your “team” listed correctly or if it needs to be updated.

QOTW:  Any Halloween costumes planned for this year?  Bonus for PIP!  If you already have kiddos, what are they wearing?  If neither, which kids costumes do you like best to consider for next year?


***Graduating to the 3rd Tri!!! Good Luck! ***

@sparkles2040 – 1/6/15 (Boy) - Sorry to hear about the GD, I hope you're feeling less sad about it this week. Only a few more months before your little boy is here and your GD is gone! Hang in there!

@dp21 – 1/8/15 - Almost 3rd Tri!  Getting excited for your shower?

@mrsjoslyn16 – 1/9/15 (Boy)

@ksgsmu – 1/12/15 (Twin Boys) - I hope your MFM appointment goes well this week! Be sure to let us know any updates.

@wolfette139 – 1/13/15 (Girl)  - Glad to hear your cervix is doing well with the cerclage! Hope bed rest isn't driving you too crazy. How's working from home going?

@southernyankeegirl – 1/13/15 (Boy)

@Itlavac – 1/14/15 (Girl)

@MkateG – 1/14/15 (Twins - Boy/Girl) - Any updates on whether you're going to travel to the shower?

@milagros315 – 1/18/15 (Boy) - How are classes going? Is Infant CPR useful and worth taking, do you think?

@puzzlefuz – 1/19/15

@mrsrichey11 – 1/20/15 (Twins - Boy/Girl) - I have my glucose on Thursday, too!  Good luck!!!!

@hopeby2015 – 1/21/15 (Girl) - How are you feeling since your slip?  All better, I hope!

@tarala – 1/24/15

@lady2010 – 1/24/15  (Team Green) - I am SO jealous, I love London!  Tell us all about your trip :-)

@mdiblasi10 – 1/30/15 (Girl)

@WA1215 – 2/1/15 (Girl)  - I've heard about organic mattresses - any particular reason this is a preference of yours? I know basically nothing!

@Robeano – 2/3/15 (Girl)

@Jaztastic – 2/7/15 (Boy)

@MissEm15 – 2/11/15 (Twin Boys)

@chickyclg – 2/13/15 (Twins) 

@weansworld09 – 2/17/15 (Team Green) - Sorry to hear about placenta previa, but glad to hear baby's doing great! I did have a friend with a breech baby and a scheduled c-section (just as placenta previa would be) and she actually thought it was a bit of a relief to know exactly when it was all going to happen, and her recovery was very easy. So there's an upside to try to counter the disappointment that something is "wrong" - it's easily managed, and you know when to expect your baby!

@Neesey – 2/18/15 (Team Green) - I'm sorry you're so uncomfortable! I agree, a good therapist is the only worthwhile one. Any relief this week?

@jaytee16 – 2/19/15 (Twins - Boy/Girl) - Congrats on your son and daughter!  How cool that you get both at once! Any names you're thinking about?

@Bellalux – 2/19/15 (Boy)

@Ecarabeo217 – 2/19/15 (Boy) - Any progress on picking items for the registry? And I hope telling the office went well!

@runawaylaurel – 2/22/15 (Team Green) - Any more movement this week? Last week you said you THOUGHT LO was moving!

March

@Ducky719 – 3/8/15 - How did your OB appointment go on Monday?

@geordie315 – 3/15/15 - Welcome! How's 2nd Tri treating you so far? I was amazed how much more energy I had all of a sudden!

@chucktgirl – 3/18/15 - My Sonoline has always registered low around 120-130, also, but this baby is currently dancing an Irish jig so I know it was no big deal! Try not to worry (easier said than done, I know).

@KT416 – 3/21/15 - Sorry weaning off Zofran isn't going well. Hope you're feeling better this week!

@Poohniki – 3/23/15 (Boy)

@aeml1985 – 3/26/15 - Welcome! How's your pregnancy treating you so far?

  • @Ecarabeo217‌ - Wow, the partner isn't happy for you? That's... Ugh. Unfortunate, to say the least! What kind of OB wouldn't be happy for someone who had struggled to get pregnant?! Any chance of a change of partnership in the future? Sounds like this person needs some bedside manner, even for a colleague!

  • @southernyankeegirl‌ -- it's unfortunate, but goes a lot deeper and drawn out than I can entertain here. Like I said, I was expecting better, but that's because I give people the benefit of the doubt, even when they've proven otherwise. I refuse to let him rain on my parade :-)

    3 Clomid IUIs -- BFNs
    IVF #1 never made it to transfer
    On "egg health" cocktail DHEA/CoQ10/FRC/Pregnitude/Melatonin
    Starting IVF #2 for Feb 2013
    Follistim/Menopur/Ganirelix
    Cancelled mid-cycle due to high P4 levels early on.
    OCPs again for IVF 2.5 mid-March. IVF 2.5 transferred two "gorgeous" 5-day blasts and BFFN. Even REI is baffled
    On indefinite hold until a huge stroke of serendipity led me to IVF 3 May 2014
    Testing found positive cardiolipins/APS, now on lovenox and intralipid infusions
    Transfer of 2 5-day blasts and (FINALLY) BFFP!! 1st ultrasound shows two sacs and two HB, but one is sluggish, almost expecting vanishing twin Subsequent ultrasound confirmed vanishing twin, but my other Little critter looks fantastic!

  • WA1215  I am the same way about chemicals etc... I also have Hashimotos with hypothyroidism so I have also been reading about  enviromental factors.  We registered almost everything organic and some family thinks we are ridiculous but they can deal.  We don't just choose organic but research everything to make sure it is free of toxins etc. 

     I am 23 weeks and change and really cant wait to hit the 24 week milestone next week.  We ahadour MFM appointment this week and the boys look great and weigh about a pound and half each!   I see my OB and have glucose testing next week.  I also start seeing my OB every two weeks and MFM every three weeks. So lot's of doctors appointments ahead! 

    QOTW:
    I am not really for adults dressing up for halloween.  I mean if they are something unique and cute maybe but it bothers me that some women use this as a time to dress like hoes.  Last year my neighbor literally walked around in black lingerie at our block party and called herself a cat.  REALLY?!   This year i plan on staying home and passing out candy and also eating some :)

    Hi ladies, thanks for having me! I'll be 16 weeks on Thursday, 2 weeks until anatomy scan and then on the 24th we are having our parents and siblings over to open a box of balloons to find out the sex. I know these parties are frowned upon on BMB but after dealing with IF we want to celebrate every milestone and thankfully we have amazing family who are equally excited.
    QOTW: I think I might have one of those skeleton fetus teeshirts made, I can't get the picture to upload

    I feel the same way! My family and friends are throwing me three baby showers, one in Oklahoma where my family lives, one at work and one where I live in Arizona. Very unpopular opinion but it is my first and probably o ly so who cares, I am loving every minute of it. We are due the same week too btw, my do is 3/28. I am 16 weeks today!
  • Not much to report today. Been feeling some poking and hard lumps but that's about it. No actual movement yet, 16 weeks today. Feeling great these days!
