Finally putting up a ticker

Consider this post a huge knock on wood! Somehow I have been very superstitious lately, but I really want to put one up. The bleeding finally seems to be lessening and hopefully will continue to do so, and as of this morning baby has a strong heartbeat is measuring on track. So...here goes!

Were you scared to put up a ticker, and if so, when did you finally do so?

Dx: High FSH, stage IV endo, homozygous C677T MTHFR and PAI-1
Early loss 10/08
Lap 1/09
IVF #1 "natural IVF" - 1 egg retrieved, missed m/c
Tried several mini-stim cycles with no response
Switched clinics - dx'd as carrier for Fragile X
IVF #2 MDL protocol Jan/Feb converted to IUI, BFN
IVF #2 take 2: Antagonist, one embie, BFN
IVF #3: Antagonist, no fertilization
One last ditch effort at OE IVF (antagonist with Clomid) cancelled
DE cycle #1 Jan/Feb 2011, BFP, ectopic
DE cycle #2 June/July 2011 - BFP
10/28/11 Baby girl lost at 17 weeks due to pre-term labor. We love and miss you.
DE cycle #3 June/July 2012 - BFP, twins, both heartbeats stopped, D&C
2 frosties but don't know what's next
FET Dec 2012: BFP! Praying this one sticks for the long haul!

    I hope everything keeps looking up hon!

    I was a little nervous to put one up but I did it just after 5 weeks anyway.

    Yay, that ticker looks great on you!  I think I was like you and forced myself to put one up after a good ultrasound where we saw the heartbeat and growth was on track.  It was definitely scary b/c I didn't want to have to take it down if something went wrong, but it helped to see it on my posts and encouraged me to just relish in every day I had.  So glad I did it and so glad you did too!  :)

    Love it!!!

    My theory on tickers was, as soon as I saw that heartbeat, I was pregnant - and that was my baby.   come what may, I was/am pregnant today - so I get a ticker.   :-)

    I was scared to put up a ticker and scared to even post on this board.  As for the ticker, I think I put it up around 8 weeks too.

    So glad to hear the bleeding is lessening and all looked well.

    It looks great!  I'm glad things are looking good.  I was really scared about adding a ticker too but it's okay to be optimistic ((hugs))

    Your ticker looks great on you!  I, too, was super scared to put up a ticker.  I think I waited until I was close to 10 weeks to put one up.  I say you can put it up whenever you feel comfortable!  :)
