Pregnant after IF
After 2 1/2 years TTC, 3 IUI's, endo, and a lap, a surprise BFP brought us Alexandra Marie!
When did you start to really show?
I'm feeling paranoid because I don't have much of a bump at all yet- I get a belly by the end of the day but it's still all bloat. It seems like everyone on my BMB is already in maternity clothes! I'm tall (5'10") so I'm not sure if that affects it, but I hope baby is growing OK in there!
When did everyone else "pop"?

Re: When did you start to really show?
I started showing around week 18 or 20.
4 Clomid cycles BFN's,3 injectible cycles BFN, 3 failed IUI's
Hystroscopy to remove cysts 11/2010
IVF #1 with ICSI Graydon Dane born Oct. 23, 2011 via c-section at 38 weeks.
Surprise BFP 10/9/12. Blighted ovum at 8wks. D&C 11/1/12.
Surprise BFP#2 TWINS!!! Boy/Girl twins.
I'm tall (5'11") too and I think that can make a big difference. This past week was the first time that a stranger assumed I was pg and people are commenting on me getting bigger, but I'm still not that big. Before when I told people how pg I was w/twins, they didn't believe me.
It is hard not to compare yourself to others, but I know other (and shorter) twin moms who were even smaller than me at this stage. Try not to worry, it will come...
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs

Thankful for every day

IVF #1 - 7/2010 = c/p
FET - 9/2010 = another c/p
IUI#4 - 2/14/11 = BFP!
Being tall really makes a big difference. With my last one I wasn't showing until much later than you are now and I'm only 5'6". I could still wear some of my regular jeans at 20 weeks although I had a bump, and I could still wear some of my work pants at that time also. I really popped around 23 weeks.
I did have some maternity jean from Gap that I LOVED and I started wearing them around 12 weeks, you couldn't tell they were maternity and they were very comfortable, so I was in maternity pants some of the time but could still fit into my regular stuff also.

I am 5'8" and overweight. I am wearing them now b/c of where my work pants and some jeans that are non-mat land on my middle. More than bump, my tummy is tender under my belly button & if the pants are too tight, it makes my back ache more than it already does. I am wearing a pair of "natural waist" jeans and drawstring linen pants; the panel ones look funny since I don't have a true bump to fill them out. Don't stress about our BMB, there are ladies on there who have been feeling the baby move for days if not weeks.

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.
This too! My normally pants fit, but anything "fitted" on my belly, makes me SUPER nauseated!
