I'm doing good. I still can't keep anything down and I barely ate anything more than crackers or dry toast a day so I am positive that I have lost more weight. I just started back at work, too, so I am majorly exhausted all the time!

We are scheduled for our frozen embryo transfer on October 20th. I started the lupron shots yesterday so it is starting to feel real.

Ooh, GL!!! 

kamcfarlane

so far so good. zofran is my best friend.

i have my 1st OB appt on friday (we've been seeing the RE as well) and the doctor himself called last night to tell us congratulations. that's all, just congrats. i'm sooo happy with my new dr!

Sweets2005

Thanks for the well wishes! I don't really have any other news. My mom is making me stay in bed while my twins nap but I don't think she knows I snuck my laptop in here, lol

Congrats Magdalina and Heather on your boys! I think I will be joining you. When I was in the hospital yesterday, I think our team green surprise was ruined on 2 occasions but that's okay. It's still not definite, maybe I am reading into it too much but I "knew" all along this was a boy. I am just not telling DH, he would be crushed as he is soooo excited to be team green!

Clotho!

I'm doing well. I'm hating the Lovenox shots and having some bruising from it. My stomach has lovely polka dots on it. Going next week to check on the cysts.

mrsmikey

Congrats to all the girls with good news!  And T&P to Heather and mrssnflwr and Sweets! 

Things are good here.  TTC #2 is becoming more and more real every day.  We have a specific plan now, we'll start TTC in December with the help of Femara.  Fingers crossed it works quickly like it did with Eli.  I have an appt with my OB soon to talk about things like the p17 shots and keeping my thyroid under control.  Hopefully I can join the "pregnant" group soon!

I love reading all these updates.

Congrats to Mag and Heather for finding out your having boys.

Sweets- Keep cooking that baby.

Karen-Good luck on the 20th. Sending lots of prayers your way.

To all the other ladies, saying lots of prayers. 

You all give me hope for a baby in the future, just not now.

Does anyone have any objections if I do some "cleaning"? Some of these ladies haven't checked in in months and don't appear to be active on TB anymore. Our list is getting pretty long  

Sweets2005

I think some cleaning would be fine! Just include a note that inactive names were removed and if anyone wants to be readded to just let you know!

hailie

I had my 19 week appointment today.  My doctor let me know that they found a Choroid Plexus Cyst in the baby's brain.  Her main concern right now is to get me to term.  So I guess she isn't too concerned about the cyst.  We'll just keep an eye on it...my next u/s is Monday. I'm trying not to wig out or self-diagnose from the internet.

We are still TTC.  We're only on cycle 2...but I'm on CD27 and no O yet!! gr!

sweetpea18

I'm doing good.  I started my 17p injections last week.  I was freaking out about nothing!  They are easy-peasy compared to the lovenox!!!

I have my anatomy scan in 2 weeks and will find out if this baby is really a girl or not! (we've had 3 early guesses of girl!)

Heather1979

Aw thanks for the love!

Let's see, not much too much to report. So far I've only had two incidents of the flashers/floaters since starting Lexapro, which is a huge reduction, and I haven't had any migraines. My blood pressure is starting to creep up, but it's not like it was while pregnant with my dd.

My primary doc has me coming in every two weeks for bp checks in addition to OB appts, and if it's any higher I will start bp meds. (Last visit I walked in at 140/75, and he said if I get one more reading of 140 I'm on them, with Olivia I started at 140/90 and it went up from there).

Mentally I am preparing myself to go in December so I can be pleasantly surprised. For that reason I am done my holiday shopping (DH does his family and he refuses to follow my example which irritates me to no end), and I am almost done the nursery. At some point within the next 2 weeks I plan on packing my hospital bag.

Please feel free to 'clean' my name off the list, for now. I still read the weekly updates, but we've decided (for several reasons) to hold off on TTC until the end of 2011.
