*lurking because I'm a dirty lurker, Oct is a hot ass mess, and I'm super envious that all of you are together in one board*
@slaven I'm going through this same panic right now! My brother gets married Memorial Day weekend, I'll be 20 weeks, and I'm a bridesmaid. The dress is empire waist, thank god (she planned it like that since she knew we were ttc) BUT the waist fits almost a little too perfectly right now. If I gain a pound in my back I'm going to be screwed and taking out dresses is so hard. Gulp.
also @jess0211 I already mentioned this on your grad post but just to echo PPs beta levels and hopefully provide more reassurance, mine were: 30 (eta to add 12dpo) 104 726
@bluejeanbabi05 thank you again! So reassuring. And I can't speak for the other ladies here, but feel free to pop in here any time! I love seeing all the ladies from TTGP!!!
@heatherdubrow FRERs are causing similar anxiety for me as well. It also doesn't help that I'm still waiting for my beta results (hi, I need a new OB practice). I just bought a pack of digitals - I hope they bring us both some peace of mind Sending positive vibes for your beta tomorrow!!

@heatherdubrow Random thought I had about your FRERs last night: I haven't read anything in the FRER "manual" about the lines getting darker, just that a faint line is still a positive. I think with TTGPers we're so used to OPKs which get darker. eta: Also, the dress is in no way maternity friendly and will take some sorcery to make even a larger size look good on a pregnant belly. It's a fitted waist, no stretch, princess seams (I think it's called haha). Hopefully she'll just let me chose a different dress in the same color/fabric since everyone in the family will know I'm KU by then anyway.
Is it ok if I post here? If not I won't again. I was only active for a short while but felt I contributed.
1. Due date? 11/18 but that will be updated once I go to the doctor
2. How are you feeling? DD posts are welcome if you need support I'm feeling great! I have this weird sensation in my stomach which is what made me decide to test.
3. Any upcoming appointments and/or updates from recent appointments? Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday!
4. Questions/concerns? I'm just so happy to be here and rooting really hard for everyone in TTGP. Those ladies (and you ladies) were an amazing support system during my short time there.
@slaven I'm going to be quite pregnant for my BFFs wedding, the wedding is Oct 7 and currently my EDD is 11/18. Luckily we got dresses from Lulus and mine is empire waisted. I normally wear an XS but will return the one I got and order a M - we can make it smaller but we can't make it bigger. Hoping to be able to talk to her about it this week, but I'm a little nervous about it. I know she'll be happy for me but I don't want to take away from her wedding day. Though, lets be real, I'm going to be way large and she's a tiny gorgeous little thing in her amazing dress, no way is anyone stealing her spotlight
@DuchessOfCambridge Welcome and congrats! You must be so excited It's fine by me if you want to post here (others should weigh in too). How did your husband react since he'd just told you to take a Bump break? haha.
Also thank you for not posting in the grad thread like that random did yesterday, ugh.
@DuchessOfCambridge Congratulations!! I ditto PPs: I'm fine with you posting in this thread! And like @adirat said, thank you for being respectful of the ttgp ladies and not posting in their grad thread

Thanks @adirat@heatherdubrow@jess0211@JulesDP! His reaction was hilarious, I gave him a onesie and he was like aww that's nice for a baby someday...he clearly didn't get it so I showed him the HPT and his face was priceless!
I wouldnt have felt right posting in that thread especially after the bump break, and I've seen how it affects the other ladies. Seems like rubbing it in if you haven't been part of the community for a while.
*lurking* @heatherdubrow Crossing fingers so hard for you!!!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*
Thanks, just waiting for results! The nurse said she has seen that kind of bleeding before in totally healthy ivf pregnancies so she made me feel a bit better
