Please post a little about yourself, what your EDD if it’s not listed below, any upcoming appointments, etc. Feel free to also share your IF journey, I know many of us can relate.
QOTW: *repeat from last week* I know it's early... but have you told any family and friends about your pregnancy yet? If so, when and how did you tell them? If you haven't, when do you plan to tell them? If you have any great pregnancy announcement stories, feel free to share those as well.
Congrats to all of the Mommies to be:
@HBamama2B EDD 6/17/16

Hi everyone! I will be 9 weeks on Wednesday and will be DONE with Crinone Progestrone tomorrow YAY! @aceoffaith Glad we are both graduating this week!
@TerraMae80 I totally agree with you on the fruit! All I ever want is fruit! Well that and milk, cheese, bread, and pasta. Meat of any kind nauseates me!
So far, we have told both sets of parents. We told them as soon as we found out the results of our betas with the RE. They were also the only people who knew we were going through fertility / IVF. We are thinking about telling our siblings on Christmas Day... I will be 10 weeks 2 days. Our first OB appointment isn't until December 30 when I will be 11 weeks (had appt. with RE at 7 weeks 2 days). Still a little nervous about spreading the news but we'd only be telling the rest of our immediate family. We plan on waiting until I'm 12-13 weeks before telling the rest of our family and friends. No creative announcement ideas yet... hopefully those ideas will come!
My EDD was changed to June 15, 2016, one day after my favorite grandpas birthday. I think that's pretty special
We announced on thanksgiving, so naturally everyone is calling the baby "butterball" haha!
We find out the sex during the last week of January- can't wait!!
Had my NT scan on Friday- measurement was 1.7mm. Also had my first round of blood work done.
Next appointment is January 4. Just a routine check up and the second round of genetic testing. Should get results back at our 20 week appointment.
I'm feeling pretty decent, except light headed and migraines every so often. I'm going to prenatals yoga, but last class had to just lay there because I felt like I was going to faint
Congrats @kaitielynnrichardson on moving into your 2nd trimester, very exciting! Hope your migraines and lightheadedness disappear soon. Good luck at your next appointment. And who knows, maybe baby "butterball" will come 1 day earlier and share your grandpas birthday
Everyone we know Knew we were doing IVF so they also all know that we are pregnant.
I feel like I'm just waiting. .. I'm hoping once I go for my Dr appt next Monday I will feel a little better about things

So I definitely know how you feel. And I have to be honest, sometimes I still can't believe it, but that ultrasound pic for sure makes things feel so much more real

8 weeks 5 days today. Had second US yesterday, heard a heartbeat and saw our "blob." Doctor said 10 more days of crinone and estrogen pills, thank goodnes.
Everyone who knew about our IVF journey knows we are pregnant - my family, a few sets of friends and a couple ladies in my office. We will wait until 12 weeks to tell my office and a few other friends.
