Hi ladies! Bring on the bumps
Infertility, Life & Loss Blog


Love & luck to my 3TC girls. Congrats to Omega-The boys are here!
If there's one thing I've learned while waiting my turn,
it's that in each life some rain falls but you also get some sun.
After 2 years & 2 losses, our little man arrived 8-2011.
Re: **3T Graduates**
Good morning!!
I suck this week, we have been hectic in the morning both yesterday and today and I forgot to have H take my bump pic.
Nothing new going on.... just waiting!
I can't wait to see the bumps, too. We should have some ladies who can start doing their bump pics any day-- so exciting!
I hope all of you ladies are doing well. Sending tons of BFP vibes to those in the 2ww and (((big hugs))) to those who need it.
Congrats, Jill--- so excited!!

Hi Ladies!
My big news is that I had my NT scan last week and we got the results combined with bloodwork and everything looked great. We are so happy.
One of these days I will get the guts to add a ticker (for some reason I'm just nervous to do it) but I'm 12w2days today.
I've been lurking and I'm so excited for the BFPs and hoping for many more in the next month.
Sail, great news. Can't wait to see a ticker.
Flgirl-adorable!!
Ams, good luck tomorrow. Can't wait to hear about it.

Look at your belly! You look adorable!! Glad everything is going great!
Hi Ladies!
I'm rocking the sweatpants today! It's my first day working from home! For now it's just Thursdays and Fridays, but once I get really uncomfortable I can work here as much as I need to. No big updates besides that. I have my 1 hour glucose test on Monday. Time to lay off the oreos!
Hope you all are well! Miss you!
So glad it went well Sail! It's a huge relief to get past the NT scan!
Adorable bump!
Good luck!!
Yay for working from home now.
And, as always, ADORABLE!!

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.
Hey ladies! 10 weeks today! I graduated from the RE last Friday after our second u/s. It was great to see the baby moving around in there. I have my first regular OB appointment this coming Wednesday.
I also started back to school this week. I am exhausted! But at least while I am at school, I am way to busy to think about being sick. Food is still an adventure but getting better.
I still am lurking a lot! I miss you ladies!
lookin' good ladies!! Our other 3T graduates are slacking on the pips & updates this week.
Good luck tomorrow Ams!!
& good luck next week Reb! YAY for you're 2nd beta#!!!
Hi Ladies!! I got my BFP on August 10th at 10DPO and got a confirmation beta # of 14 that day. I did beta's every 3 days after that and they jumped from 14,88,468, 2031 by 19 DPO. the RE was very happy with that
I just had my first u/s at 5wks 5days today and the baby is exactly how he/she should be at this phase. We even saw the little heart beat flutter. It was breath taking. Due date is April 23, 2011
We go back for our next u/s on Sept 7th and if everything looks good I will be leaving the RE and moving on to an OB
Hope all you ladies are doing well! I've been lurking to keep tabs on you all.
Congrats! That first u/s has to be absolutely the best!

Hi Girls,
I am sooo loving the bumps, hopefully mine will come soon (well not too soon, but I'll be soo happy to wear my bump with pride:)
So I am 8wks today (measured 8wks on Tuesday) but RE is still going with Today as 8wks (remember crazy schedule not exactly sure O date). Either way baby will come when it is ready.
I graduated from RE this week (bought panera, flowers and cards for the staff) you know nobody ever wants to be referred there, etc, but they have been wonderful and great people to share the ride with for this journey.
So on Tuesday (7wk6d) HR 165bpm, measuring perfect and doing well. Still taking P4 and estrace. Now weaning both estrace to be done in a day or so and P4 over the next few weeks (weaning slowly). My OB will see me next week 8/31 for 1st u/s there and 1st visit there and they will coordinate the decreasing metformin schedule as well. Still no real symptoms, the RE said "that means my body knows how to do pregnancy well." Mainly this was comforting to me, because having literally no symptoms plays with one's head, not that I'm wishing them, but you know what I mean.
I am glad a few more 3T girls were able to join us for April, and I'm going to still be lurking for your BFP and on May to follow the journeys. Happy Thursday to all!
