    My 3rd beta came back today at 292, up from 109 on Tuesday! I go back Saturday, Monday, and Wednesday for more betas and my first ultrasound is next Friday.

    My progesterone isn't going up so I start 100mg 2x a day instead of 50mg 2x a day to supplement more before deciding if I need PIO.

    18 weeks and feeling pretty good.  I feel the baby move almost every day now but it still doesn't feel real.  I keep questioning if my belly is just fat, although I never really had a belly, and the little kicks are just in my head.  Hopefully things will feel more real after our a/s on June 15th.  We are so excited to see if we are team blue or team pink.  

     ETA:  Please excuse my DH's Max Payne pointing a gun at my head.  DH is my first child and loves his toys.

  • I failed my 3-hour test last week so I have to meet with the MFM and his dietician tomorrow.  I have moved to bi-weekly appointments with my OB until mid-July when I move to weekly appointments.  I won't know until Friday how often I will be seeing the MFM 

    We have our elective 3-D u/s on Sunday and our baby shower is Sunday.

    Hope everything is ok with you!

    Had my last cervical check u/s today and everything looked great!  Baby is measuring at 3lbs even (which is large, but still within the normal range).  Here is a pic of the little guy...

  • Hello 3T!  Congrats to recent BFPs with sticky vibes, lots of luck & ((hugs)) to go around!  ::waves HI to katib::

    This past week I have been thinking about my time on this board and how much it helped.  One year ago I was a few days into my 2ww after IUI.  Wondering if the lack of symptoms, but obsession for Chipotle guacamole could be a symptom of AF or an impending BFP.  Here is my 3.5 month old & I today.  T&Ps that you all get to experience this, whatever path may get you there.

    Hey Robeano!  I know it's been a while since you were an active poster.  But I think there are enough of us here that look at the check ins (and the old regs who come back to see how the grads are doing) that we'd love to hear your updates!  T&P that fourth time is the charm for you for your sticky, take home robeano!

  • Hi Ladies,

    Hope it's okay if I bring little Ashley in late to the party. :) She hit 3 months on Tuesday and I can't believe she's already there! She's just awesome, and I am amazed by her every single day. I look at her, and I just can't believe how lucky I am.

    I still lurk from my phone, and I'm always rooting for all of you. I hope that you all get good news very very soon. Good luck and hugs!!

    Here's a pic of my little monkey in the dress I made her. :)

  • Hi everyone. Not a ton new here, had our maternity photos taken on Tuesday. Can't wait to see how they turned out. We had an OB appointment on Wednesday and was supposed to get an u/s but my insurance says they have to be done at the hospital now, so we are postponing for a bit. My baby shower is on Saturday and I am getting excited about that. 

    Will share photos at the next grad check in I hope. You are all in my thoughts. Hugs.

  • Katib - I just wanted to say I read your blog today and responded and I am so very pissed for you!  I hope you find some resolve ASAP.  :(

    Update:  I've been diagnosed with gestational diabetes and it totally blows because between the OB, MFM and dietician there is a great lack of communication causing nothing but additional stress and worry for me.  After meeting with the nutritionist, they put me on some insane, extremely high carb meal plan and my blood sugar skyrocketed (duhh!).  I never ate like that before.  So now, I'm supposed to stay on this insane, high carb meal plan and take diabetes medicine.  Makes absolutely no sense to me whatsoever, but I only hope and pray it has no adverse affect on the babies.

    Other than that, I've been getting a few things picked out for the nursery.  We hope to really get started on it within the next month.  I've been cut down to half days at work already so I have plenty of time to come up with ideas.  LOL

     Hugs to everyone who needs them and good luck to all who are cycling!

    I saw your comment on my blog, and my husband was like "See?! Everyone in the biz knows it's BS!"  Thanks for your advice!  <3

    As for your diet, as a diabetic I seriously don't get that at all!  For me- controlling my blood sugar, it's always about the amount of protein.  Sorry they're whacking out on your diet with too many carbs.  But I hope the meds help and they know what's best for you.  My meds mixed with my diet has actually gotten my A1C levels to where I'm just boarder line now so I totally love the meds.

    I saw your comment on my blog, and my husband was like "See?! Everyone in the biz knows it's BS!"  Thanks for your advice!  <3

    As for your diet, as a diabetic I seriously don't get that at all!  For me- controlling my blood sugar, it's always about the amount of protein.  Sorry they're whacking out on your diet with too many carbs.  But I hope the meds help and they know what's best for you.  My meds mixed with my diet has actually gotten my A1C levels to where I'm just boarder line now so I totally love the meds.  

    They put me on a low dose of Glyburide.  That's a new one to me.  I start taking it tonight so we'll see how it works.  As for the carbs, they want me eating 45-60 grams at every meal and another 15-30 at three snacks a day!  Not to mention all the protein I still have to eat.  I think they kind of skimped on the protein, but I'm going to continue with the protein shakes the MFM recommended.  We shall see.

    Good luck with your decision regarding work.  I know it's a tough call to make.

     I had GD too & cried b/c of the amounts of food and how often I had to eat.  It was CRAZY!  Good thing is that if you keep up that sort of eating once babies are here, it will help you loose the weight afterwards. Wink

  • First u/s last week at 6w1d -- and we saw a h/b...and TWO babies! Now, the second baby was certainly a bit smaller (no h/b at that point yet), but the RE was pleased -- and told us there was a 50/50 chance that Baby #2 would stick around for the long haul (after some googling, it looks like he was referring to the whole Vanishing Twin thing).

    We go back in next week, at which point I'll be 8w2d, and he said that by then we'll know with (almost) absolute certainty if we're looking at twins or not -- and assuming all looks good, I'll be discharged back to my OB! Yay! 

    TTC Since 11/10 due to Unexplained IF 
    4 Rounds of Clomid, 2 Rounds of Femara + IUI, 2 rounds of IUI+ Injectables (Bravelle + Menopur) = First BFP! TWIN GIRLS!

    November 2, 2012 - Claire (2lbs 8.9oz) and Paige (2lbs 10oz) arrive at 29w3d due to PTL and pPROM at 28w5d

    (((HUGS))) to all who need them!  Still lurk and pray for you all.

    18 weeks and feeling pretty good.  I feel the baby move almost every day now but it still doesn't feel real.  I keep questioning if my belly is just fat, although I never really had a belly, and the little kicks are just in my head.  Hopefully things will feel more real after our a/s on June 15th.  We are so excited to see if we are team blue or team pink.  

     ETA:  Please excuse my DH's Max Payne pointing a gun at my head.  DH is my first child and loves his toys.

     

    Trish!!! You look awesome! So happy for you!
