Did you just start this or have I missed it? Great idea.
Lately, I have less nausea. Still major food aversions. The biggest issues I have been having is killer headaches and a back ache. I have taken Tylenol almost every day (usually just once). Is that bad?
I am 11 weeks 4 days. I go to meet with the real OB next week and do some of the genetic testing. I am scared to death.
I don't think so on the maternity shoot. I would rather spend the money on prof pics of the baby. My sister is pretty good with a camera so I may have her take some when she visits this summer.
Hi everyone!
I am doing okay. I am nauseous pretty much all the time and am SO CONSTIPATED! OH LAWD I JUST WANNA POO! I would prefer to throw up but that just doesn't happen. I don't want to take anything but I might go ahead and get some doucasate sodium today which my doc said I could take for the constipation.
I am 8.5 weeks and my next appt is this Friday. If all goes well I will be released to my OB. I already made an appt with a high risk OB in my area (because of my HBP) and that is on June 15th.
Photos? I am not sure yet. That is so far away. I think I would like to but it will depend on finances and how my bump turns out.
TTC since March/April 2010
DX: MFI - less than 1 million sperm, 26% motility
DH put on anastrozole to increase counts
June/July 2011 100 mg Clomid + TS IUI#1 & IUI 2 - BFN :-(
Forced break due to DH getting spinal surgery in August 2011
IVF - January 2012: BFN
FET in April 2012 - BFP at 6dp5dt! Beta #1 at 9dp5dt: 82.5, Beta #2 at 12dp5dt: 352 Beta #3 at 19dp5dt: 6000, saw heartbeat and one little bean at 5W6D!
After nearly 3 years of waiting our LO was born December 18th 2012!
I'm supposed to post every weds but i forgot last week, i started it when i joined this board so we could keep tabs on each other.
welcome my friend!

Hope you are all doing and feeling great
Q'sOTW: How are you doing?
I had my NT scan last week, measurements were great and just waiting on b/w results. I'm constantly overwhelmed with happiness that I've made it this far. Nausea is slowly easing up, and I'm working with my new norm of being tired all the time. Spotting has been on and off since 8 weeks and is very frustrating.
Really well
How far along are you?
12w5d
When is your next dr's appt?
Not until 16 weeks! I did break down and order a doppler (which we LOVE) because I knew this wait would be brutal.
and will you be doing a maternity photo shoot?
I'd like to if finances allow. It would be great to get a maternity/newborn package.
Hello everyone!
How are you doing? I am doing well.. I feel good over all ....occasional swelling of the hands and feet, the occasional YI. But I feel good.
How far along are you? 27 Weeks 4 days!
When is your next dr's appt? June 6th -- I have my glucose test
and will you be doing a maternity photo shoot? no -- they're not my thing -- I am having BIL take some family pictures though

I'm doing well!!!
I have a/s take 2, tomorrow!
I'm not sure, i haven;t given it any thought..let me see what u ladies said
How are you doing? ready to meet baby! still vomiting (due to gallbladder issues), so not much of an appetite, still really swollen, but at least we are scheduling induction for next week!
How far along are you? 39 weeks!
When is your next dr's appt? Friday, I go for a biophysical & visit with ob, & will be scheduling induction!! woohoo!! almost done!!
will you be doing a maternity photo shoot? nope, we decided to save $$, and we're going to do a photo shoot with LO instead, DH was freaked out about maternity photo shoot, he said it felt weird LOL
Happily Wed DH in May 2010
June 2012: DD#1 born after countless fertility cycles, our 4 year old miracle
TTC #2: current cycle: 225iu Menopur for 4 weeks, Ovidrel Trigger= BFP! Beta #1; 333, Beta #2 713! 1st u/s showed TWINS (7/18)
How are you doing? Today I am depressed. Bedrest has really taken a toll on me...I know that baby isn't in any serious danger at the moment...but the ever presence of blood, even if it is OLD GROSS BROWN GOOK, is upsetting. I'm in constant worry about every move I make being bad for baby. I'm sick of having to rely on my mother to take care of my dogs (although she cooks and cleans for me which is awesome). And i'm getting really upset with DH because his care of me is so subpar to my mother's care that it hurts my feelings....I know mommies' care taking abilities trump hubbies but still. I may be hormonal, but it's still upsetting...
How far along are you? I'll be 16w tomorrow.
When is your next dr's appt? I go back for follow up with the peri on the 6th (hoping he'll be able to tell the sex since I'll be 17w and don't want to wait until my scheduled a/s at 20w). And I go back to OB on the 8th.
and will you be doing a maternity photo shoot? probably not. we'll see how I feel when my bump is more bumpy lol

SAIF/PAIF Welcome
Lots of love and luck to my PAIF/3T/IF Veteran ladies, especially my dear friend Zookie. Congrats to Papps, Teach84 and Starbuck on their little ones.
Q'sOTW:
How are you doing? Great, I feel really good lately. All my food aversions seem to be gone, and I am feeling major baby movement.
How far along are you? 21 weeks tomorrow.
When is your next dr's appt? I have a normal visit on Monday and Anatomy Scan Part 2 on Tuesday.
Will you be doing a maternity photo shoot? Kinda Sorta. I am an amateur photographer and I am teaching my sister and DH to use my camera so we can do a maternity shoot without spending all the money. My sister is also going to do birthing photos at the hospital (nothing where you can see anything gross though).
I am doing great. Really want to eat a huge piece of cake, ice cream, and french fries... but can't thanks to my GD. I am 19wks. Next dr appt is tomorrow to go over my sugars. anatomy scan is june 7th. I probably won't do a pro maternity picture shoot d/t costs-- but I will try to get MH to take some good ones.
That's odd- my ticker is off- should say 19 wks today. Anyone else's off?
Hey Girls!! Hope everyone is well!
How are you doing? Hanging in there. I am still worried about going back into labor but I can just take things one day at a time.
How far along are you? 27 weeks and 1 day
When is your next dr's appt? I go tomorrow for my weekly appointment and ultrasound.
Will you be doing a maternity photo shoot? Not sure. I have a photographer that will be taking pictures at my shower on Saturday and she has offered to do a maternity shoot, but I am not sure if I will.
