***BFP & Child Warning***
Me: 34, DH: 38 ~ TTC since 2014 IUI #1-3 (Nov 2015, Feb 2016, May 2016) = BFNs IVF ER (July 2016) = 7 PGS normal embryos FET #1 (Sept 2016) = BFP! DD born 5/30/17 FET #2 (April 2019) = BFN FET #3 (July 2019) = BFP! DS born 3/27/20
1. How far along are you? 31 weeks 2. What is your infertility diagnosis/treatment history? MFI diagnosis. 3 rounds of IUI, followed by IVF freeze-all cycle, and then success on our first FET! 3. When is your next appointment? Next week at 32 weeks, when I will begin NST appointments. 4. Rants/Raves/Questions: My allergies are killing me right now. Usually what works for me during pollen season is Zyrtec + Flonaise on a daily basis. Well, with being pregnant right now I'm not risking Flonaise at all and only willing to take Zyrtec occasionally (want to limit meds as much as possible). I took it today because I'm miserable but it isn't helping.
GTKY: What have you most enjoyed doing to get ready for the baby? I have loved all of it but I think my favorite part was shopping for the nursery furniture. I love everything about furniture shopping anyway, so it's no surprise that I loved shopping for my now favorite room in the entire house!

GTKY: What have you most enjoyed doing to get ready for the baby? buying him clothes and cloth diapers, getting his nursery set up (slow process, lol), taking the classes at the hospital. As of today I have 10wks left until he arrives. Holy crap!!!!
1. How far along are you? 29w6d 2. What is your infertility diagnosis/treatment history? MFI (DH has Klinefelters - using donor sperm) and secondary female factor (PCOS). We had 3 years of IF treatment before having success on our first IVF cycle in 2013 (DS born in M14). From there, both DD and this LO are from the same IVF cycle (FET). 3. When is your next appointment? Next Monday is another IUGR scan due to a 2VC. That following Wednesday will be another prenatal checkup. 4. Rants/Raves/Questions: I'm sick AGAIN! This makes 3 cold viruses in 1.5 months. I'm miserable and finally caved last nigh by taking some OB approved nasal decongestants. I usually stick it out with only natural remedies, but I'm running on empty right now!
GTKY: What have you most enjoyed doing to get ready for the baby? I'm just enjoying sharing the experience with DS. He gets so excited to feel "his baby" kick and he is always asking about the baby. We already have everything we need for LO since DS and DD are so close in age to this baby.

April 24th 4. Rants/Raves/Questions: consulted with a surgeon this week, gallbladder will be out 5-6 weeks after baby boy arrives. Ugh...I'm completely dreading it but these gallbladder attack are much worse. Thankfully I can keep them in check so far. On a good note...I passed my 1 hour glucose test. Yay!!!
GTKY: What have you most enjoyed doing to get ready for the baby? I've loved clothes shopping, although I need to cool it until my shower, and picking out things I think he'll love. Our bedroom carpets were installed yesterday which means baby furniture is getting set up this week! It's all coming together so fast!
1. How far along are you? 29 weeks 2. What is your infertility diagnosis/treatment history? possible LOR, possible male factor; success with first IUI 3. When is your next appointment? not until the 12th 4. Rants/Raves/Questions: My doctor is going to be out of the office for two of my appointments and I have to see someone else those weeks, which is making me angry. I'm trying to get scheduled with someone else but the office is being difficult and I'm getting frustrated. GTKY: What have you most enjoyed doing to get ready for the baby? Just getting the nursery all set up again has been fun, buying little stuff and putting away the tiny outfits in the closet. I am loving the organizing right now.
