Re: ~~*3T Graduates*~~
Hey gals! Hope you are all doing well! Giving you all big hugs to those who need it, and lots of sticky glue to those in the 2ww!
No real bump to show, but a new u/s pic! We had a 4th u/s yesterday -- Our RE has kept us under constant supervision because my amnio has been low. Yesterday I was 9w2d, measuring 8w2d, again consistently 1 week behind. HB went up from last week from 180 to 188. My amnio HAS increase
but they would still like to see more.
We have our first OB appt next Tuesday and are being placed with the high risk doctors.
It was really cool to see the baby waving its little arm during the u/s sort of saying.. "HEY! Im still here!". DH and I were in aw. The RE is still being cautiously optomistic, but he says he sees more good then bad. Heres our u/s from yesterday! Sorry its sideways
DH became a double above knee amputee with traumatic brain injury (TBI) - July 2009
TTC - August 2009 DX: Severe MFI & TF due to TBI
DH SA 0 count, started clomid therapy - November 2010
DH SA 0 count, increased clomid dosage - January 2011
DH SA 75 million with 60% motility!! - May 2011
IVF with ICSI ONLY OPTION - May 2011
3dt of 2 Grade A 8&7 cell embryos May 19, 2011
+HPT May 30 2011 -- Memorial Day!
Beta #1 = 34 Beta #2 = 101.8 Beta #3 = 603!
Expecting beautiful Eden Grace February 7, 2012!
I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see.
Hey ladies!!! Well today I turned 9 weeks. A friend of mine let me borrow her doppler she used with her first child and we were able to find the heartbeat last night. It was faint so it wouldnt register the number but man it was so awesome to hear.
We go back July 13th for another U/S. It cant get here fast enough. I have a belly pic in my blog. Just bloat but definately different more than it use to be. Bye bye flat stomach!!
Happy for the new grads joining us today and I think about all you guys everyday that soon a BFP is around the corner for you. Lots of love to everyone of you guys!!!
Hi 3T! As always, I am rooting for all of you and thinking of you ladies cycling right now. I know there are good news to come soon!
Here is my bump pic from Tuesday at 15 weeks:
Nothing new here really. MH has started painting the guest room which will be the nursery, but it will need a second coat. We decided for the color "parchment paper" from Olympic, which I would describe as a vanilla tone. Very gender neutral and warm.
Our a/s is scheduled for the 27th and I am hoping to see a healthy baby!
Hi ladies! Hugs to those who need them, I'm always rooting for you guys!
I unfortunately had an eventful u/s yesterday. I went in for my routine growth scan and they discovered that my cervix has shortened to a little over 2 cm (from 4 cm 3 weeks earlier) and with pressure it shortens to a little over 1 cm. I'm dilated a finger tip and my cervix is softening. It's WAY too early! I've had my first round of the steroid shots for the babies lungs, second one will be this afternoon. I'm also on a mag drip which hasn't been too horrible & has done it's job slowing down my contractions. For now it's a wait and see. They will keep me on the mag through tomorrow to let the steroid shots take effect and will slowly take me off of it and see what happens. I've got a NICU consult later today just in case, but I'm really hopeful that these babies will stay put for a while longer!
The babies are doing great, little boy is 2lb 4oz and little girl is 2lbs. They are both measuring about a week ahead which is wonderful!
Funny story: during the u/s yesterday the tech was measuring little boy's legs and we had a perfect money shot between his legs. He started peeing! It was so funny, you could see it clear as day on monitor!
Here are some pics!

Hi ladies, I wish all of you that are cycling the best of luck!
I had a second u/s yesterday at what we believe is 6 weeks, and we finally got to see our baby inside the gestational sac and see a little heartbeat flickering in there. Here's our little bug:
I was hoping to be able to graduate from the RE yesterday, but unfortunately we're not out of the woods yet. They saw a strange band in the gestational sac below the baby, so I have to go back for another u/s in two weeks time so we can get a better idea of what's going on. We're told that sometimes there are bands that can form in the amniotic fluid, and that some bands (refered to as amniotic sheets) are relatively harmless, and others (referred to as true bands) can be much more dangerous. From what we can tell, what I have looks like the harmless kind, but they want to make sure. For further detail on the bands, check out my last blog post. As long as the band that is there is a fold and not a true band, and it is not in the amniotic sac, then everything should be okay.
Other than that, we were ecstatic to meet our baby yesterday, and all seems to be moving along well. My next u/s is on July 20th, and I'll be waiting anxiously until then so they can hopefully relieve my worry, or there's a possibility the band may even be gone by then.
Hi 3T! I'm always lurking and rooting for all you ladies:)
Update: I have my next OB appt. on July 19th and I can't wait!
Here is my 15wk bump pic:)
Hi ladies! I have gotten lazy about taking pictures
. I started my new temporary job and its 100 miles from where we live. I spend all my days off sleeping:)
We have our anatomy scan next Thursday and I am excited to see the baby again.
Good luck to all the 3T ladies cycling and testing!!!

Hello ladies!
We are almost 11 weeks and still have a hard time believing this is all real! I thought my m/s was going away, but I just seem to have good days and bad days. Hopefully it will disappear in the next couple of weeks! Otherwise, not much new to report. No real bump, just a buldge that doesn't seem to go away - can't wait until it is a real bump!
Good luck to all of you ladies! {{HUGS}}
Thanks for the updates ladies!
MyHusbandMyHero, love the u/s picture! I'm glad the amnio situation is moving in the right direction.
missycrissy, glad you were able to hear the heartbeat. I hope you enjoy your upcoming u/s.
Ricola, love the bump picture!! Thanks for sharing.
MrsLoos, I'm keeping you and your LOs in my T&Ps. I hope they decide to bake longer.
Ya Never Know, I'm so happy to see that u/s picture! Congratulations! I really hope the bands the RE saw turns out to be nothing. Sending T&Ps your way.
OodlesofNoodles, I love the bump picture! I can't wait until July 19, either!!
jesselayne, good luck with your anatomy scan! I hope you start taking bump pictures again soon!

Hello everyone!! Best of luck to all and I hope to see everyone posting here very soon.
I had my NT scan on Tuesday. Both babies looked good on the u/s, all body parts accounted for, good HBs, and had good NT measurements, so I'm a bit relieved for now. The also took bloodwork, but said it would be afew days before they'd call with official results and risk of down's and other disorders.
Here is my 12w pic taken on Monday. And yes, I'm wearing the same thing as last week since I decided to wear the same thing for as long as possible for comparison purposes. I definitely have a bump there.

Hi ladies! I am stalking like crazy, praying for you and hoping like crazy that this board will be deleted for non use soon.
Things over here are uneventful, I still have the flu I got about six weeks ago and I still cramp every day so I am on bed rest.
Last week baby E or Flick as we call him/her was on track and everything looked beautiful. I have the nt scan next week.
Hi ladies! You are all looking so great!!!
We are plugging along here. Still working on the sleep thing though. I can manage to get 1 4 hour stretch out of him. Beyond that it's all cat naps.
Nikolai will be 1 month old tomorrow - no idea where this last month has gone!! He had a pedi appt yesterday and we learned he gained 2 lbs in just 2 weeks. Yikes! He is getting big and is just the cutest thing ever
Here are a couple of pics
This is my first check-in, so I'm pretty excited. I just got home from doing beta #3 and should have the results in a few hours. I'm crossing my fingers that the numbers continue to increase as they should. Once they reach 1500, we'll be able to schedule our 1st u/s, so I'm very anxious to see what today's numbers are.
Tons of luck to those cycling and huge hugs to those that need them. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for all you guys!

BFP Chart
Hi ladies. Rooting for you all, as usual. ((hugs)) to those who need them.
Mrs.Loos-Sending lots of thoughts and "stay cooking inside" vibes to you and your babes. Hilarious story about the pee though.
I have been diagnoised with a rare autoimmune disease as of last week (more info in my blog), so I have started to have weekly u/s to check on little man. It's a little scary, but all was well at the last scan, so hopefully things stay that way. I can put up with the annoying side effects as long as he is ok! New bump photos in my blog as well.
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.
Not a whole lot of updates for me. I am officially in the second tri, woohoo! I need to take a bump pic because my belly is growing pretty fast. I will try to have one next week.
My next OB appt. is on Monday.
Hi Ladies! Congrats to the recent BFPs and lots of T&Ps to those cycling.
All is well over here. I'll be 20 weeks on Monday which blows my mind! Just hanging out until my next Drs apt on the 25th.

Hi everyone! I haven't checked in for a while, but I do lurk. I'm on my phone and it's such a PITA to try to post, though. I love seeing everyone's progress and I'm still cheering for the BFP's of late and the ones to come.
Our boys are two months old now, and are so big and adorable. They look different and have such different personalities. At their 2 month well visit they were each around 13 lbs which is 75% for singletons, so our doctor was impressed. They were big when born, however (Noah was 8.7, Elijah 7.1).
Here is a recent pic:

Hello everyone! Today looks like a good day for 3T! My heart is with a lot of you, still waiting too.
Things here are going well. Payton had a follow up on her MSPI. Unfortuntely she is still testing positive for blood in her stool but we are still early in the game. I will stay milk/soy free and really watch what I eat and she will be rechecked in a week.
She is so alert and playful now. I am hoping to get her jumparoo out soon and see how she does with it. She even slept through the whole night on Tuesday! It was fabulous!!!
Her is her cute little mug:

I am late to the party as usual. Better late than never.
I am feeling more like my usual self these days which is nice. The only bad thing is my emotions and I blame that on the hormones. I could scream or cry at the drop of a hat. Not really good for DH.
We have our gender scan next Tuesday. It is going to be an elective u/s and I also visit my OB on Tuesday for the Quad panel blood test. I am anxious to see the LO again, it's been too long.
Congrats on the recent BFPs! I was so glad to see the post from Punky today. Hugs to all those who need them. XOXO
Can I joing you ladies witht this post?
DH & I heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time on Monday and we just wanted to melt it was the most amazing sound ever.We go back to our RE on Sat and hopefully we will be moving on to a regular doctor that is local getting up at 5am every Sat & driving 2 1/2 hrs is really getting to me..
Hey ladies! I know I haven't checked in for a while but I always forget! Anyway, I am doing very well. We are having a boy, and naming him Brady Easton! I had my gallbladder out about a month ago and so far that's been the only hiccup. Here is a pic from hitting 30 weeks, last Friday:

Hi, ladies! I'm so excited to see so many BFPs and bumps around here! And I love seeing the babies, too, of course! Best of luck to all of you cycling or just getting started. I think of everyone battling all the time and never forget.
We're doing really well. April is 10 weeks old. She's been sleeping like a champ, which is good since I just went back to work. She was a party baby all holiday weekend and I love her to pieces. Here she is passed out on the 4th.
It took 5 failed IUIs and a failed IVF, but our FET worked!
