-----------------------News: GL to all our ladies in the 2ww! Congrats to magdalina.h on cooking little Nugget! Congrats to kamcfarlane on finding out it's a girl! T&P to sweetpea18 on her increased cramping/contractions and keeping her bp under control. Continued T&P to Heather1979 on her bp issues, as well as her new contraction issues. T&P to IAM4UK on her c-section tomorrow! T&P to FemmeFataleNat01 on keeping that little one cooking just a little longer.
Updates: Last week, mrsmikey was waiting to O and starting to consider calling her OB for Femara. ijack was happily feeling like crap and awaiting her first appt. Lemen99 was awaiting her next appt. Magdalina.h passed the point in her pregnancy where she delivered Aiden. kamcfarlane had her big ultrasound and found out baby #2 is a girl! Sweetpea18 was having some cramping and contraction issues, so her procardia has been increased to 2xday; she's concerned this will mask any possible bp issues. njkaren was still nauseous, but is crossing over into the 2nd tri. Heather1979 is continuing to border on pre-e and is now having problems with contractions as well; she did have a negative ffn. IAM4UK scheduled her c-section for 12/31 and will officially be full-term when she delivers her babies!If you'd like to address a question to the group, please feel free to page or PM me.
Still twiddling my thumbs in the 2ww over here! It's been going really fast, though, since we've had family in town for the last week. Now everyone's gone home, but DH is off through the weekend, so he'll keep me occupied until I start testing on Mon (9dpo). I'm hoping to have good news by the next check-in, but I bought IC's this time around, so I'm not even sure if they'd turn up positive by 11dpo, it's still kind of early. If this cycle doesn't pan out, we'll be taking a break for a few months to travel and lose some weight.
Did everyone survive the holiday?!? I've realized it's much more exhausting with a little one, but this year was so much fun because dd actually kind of 'got' it! I was contracting like crazy the whole weekend, but things have seemed to calm down. My mom has been here all week, so I've been able to rest. I'm starting to swell some and my bp is slowly creeping up, so my goal is to make it to 34 weeks right now. I have a dr appt on Monday and I think I have a nst (or maybe I start those at 34 weeks? I really don't remember!)

I feel EXACTLY the same - the holidays were just so much more involved this year! For good and bad GL, I've got my fingers crossed that you can hold on a few more weeks!
We had a lot of fun this holiday b/c DS was finally interested in it and opened his own presents. He was so thankful for everything too...very cute. As of Tuesday I was the most pregnant I've ever been!! Very excited for that. Now it's just a waiting game to see what happens. I've been contracting like crazy lately, though nothing measurable. Good luck in the rest of your 2ww Shannonsky! I hope this is your cycle:)
I had my nt scan on Tuesday and everything looks good with the baby. Unfortunately I got sick again that night. I thought that would be coming to an end since I am 13 weeks today.
Conceived twins with IVF January 2008. Lost baby a at 20 1/2 weeks due to premature rupture of membranes and held onto baby b. Baby b (Brandon) born at 26 weeks and 1 day on July 5, 2008. Wesley born full term on June 29, 2011.

Well I've had 2 u/s in the last week baby is developing on track, due date is 8/9 and hb yesterday was 171. Unfortunately yesterday's u/s showed 2 fibroids growing and my cervix is starting out on the short side. That's bad news because they think a fibroid caused my abruption with DD and my cervix didn't hold up at all so starting off short isn't good. I have another appt to discuss this all with my doc next week. I'm sad because I was obviously hoping for no complications

oh crap! i forgot to send your tests - i'll drop them in the mail today!
i'm doing well over here. just cooking! no more bleeding and i've definitely popped!
I'm finally in the 2WW! I o'd late, but still not too bad. It just worries me to see my cycles get longer and longer. I surprised myself by being as bummed as I was last week, maybe it was just the added stress of the holidays. I'm 7dpo today and we're going to a wedding tonight so I don't have to worry about not drinking yet Fingers crossed I have some good news to share next week!

I have nothing new to report. I'm 16w and I have an appt Monday and my first cervix check. I'm hoping for good news, and also to find out the sex of the baby.

No worries! I have more than enough for this cycle and we're taking a break for a while if this one doesn't work, anyway, so I won't need them for a while. Thanks!
