Re: First Tri Check-In
This will be my last 1st tri check in!!!!!
QOTW: How far along are you? 13 w1d
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physcially okay. Nausea seems to have gotten MUCH better. Only actually getting sick about 1-2x a week for the last two weeks!!! I was diganosed with a low-lying placenta and a SCH on Friday, so that has been a bit freaked out, but N/t scan yesterday went great, and MFM said the SCH is small. So just praying really hard that things continue to go well.
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? We shared with extended family, close friends and work last week, and then a few days later I shared on FB. My status just said something along the lines of "after a long journey, with lots of bumps along the way, we are excited to share..." So, I definitely implied that there had been IF struggles. People who ask, I share, but I don't volunteer the info unless I'm asked.
Hope everyone else in 1st tri is doing well!

This is my last first-tri check in! I'm going with 13w3d for "end first tri/begin second tri," and that's this coming Sunday
How far along? 12w5d
How are you feeling: I thought I was feeling much better the last few days, and then this morning I had to pull over on my way to work so I could throw up on the side of the road. It was awesome.
Sharing about IF: We announced on my blog (which = Facebook) last week, once I was 12w. We've been very open about our IF issues for a while (since we decided to move to IVF), because I felt talking about it might make others in the same situation come out and feel less isolated. So, if someone knows I'm pregnant... they also know how I got that way, which is fine by me.
Me = lean PCOS;DH = poor morphology (3%)
3 IUI/TI cycles = BFN
IVF #1 with ICSI: antagonist protocol = BFFN
IVF #2 with ICSI : Lupron downregulation = BFFN...FML
IVF #3 with ICSI and AH (Antagonist) = IT'S A BOY!!!!
How far along are you? 7 weeks today :-)
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I am tired, my boob still hurt pretty bad. Emotionally: Over the moon happy, today has been a crying day since he heard the heart beat. :-)
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? We plan to announce to eveyone besides the people who currently know around 12 weeks. I will most likely not share my IF struggles unless asked.
How far along are you? 8w5d. Due November 29th.
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Mostly tired and irritable. I have a hard time eating a variety of foods. I get very nauseous if I eat too much/too little/the wrong thing. I don't always know what the wrong thing is.
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? I don't really know how we'll share. I feel very sheepish about telling anyone right now. 9w u/s is on Friday. If that goes well, maybe we will tell my family (H's family already knows). I hate FB pregnancy announcements but I imagine I will eventually make one and maybe say we've been waiting forever to be able to say we are expecting.
11/11/11 = 5 years. Woah!
I am moving on to 2nd tri this week, but I wanted to wish all of you ladies luck! See you soon!
(My EDD is 10/23, twins)

Our perfect baby boys were born at 36w1d!!
This will be my last 1st tri check in
How far along are you? I'm 12w6d
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Doing pretty good physically. Still crampy from time to time, boobies are still sore, lightning crotch is a bit freaky, face is a disaster, but all in all, pretty good!
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? We're pretty much public now. I've shared our struggles with closer friends and family.
Me: 32 - Stage II Endo / DH: 36 - Low count and morphology (1%)
IUIs 1-3 BFN, lap Dec. 2010, IUIs 4-6 BFN
IVF w/ICSI #1 - ER 2/8: 24R 19M 9F ET 2/13 2-5 day blasts (no frosties) = BFP - b/g twins!
E & C Born 10/19/2012
Hi fellow 1st tri ladies, hope you're all doing well!
This is also my last first tri check-in; can't believe I've made it this FAR!!!
QOTW: How far along are you? 12w6d
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I had very mild nausea during wk9 that went away within 10 days. Now nausea seems to have come back this wk. Emotionally I'm a lot better after my NT scan last week. Sleeping better b/c I'm less worried!
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? We're still going to wait until 16w I guess; after my IPS results come back. So far only our parents and sis-in-law knows (and a few relatives that MIL blabbed to).
Regarding our IF treatment, I'm not sure yet. I'll discuss with DH when it gets closer to 16w.
Failed multiple cycles of Clomid+TI and Clomid+IUI
3/2011 inj+IUI #1 BFP. 4/2011 missed m/c.

Jan/Feb 2012 IVF#1 BFP 2/23 EDD 10/31/2012 ~~~ Halloween ~~~
Our IVF miracle, Baby Boy M, arrived on 11/8/2012!
How far along are you? 7 weeks 4 days
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Physically I am feeling pretty crappy...throwing up, bloated and always nauseuos
but I'm ok with that. Emotionally I'm all over the place...happy, nervous, excited, worried and anything in between. Our lives are going to change so much and it's surreal.
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? We've already gone public...I've been so sick at work that the rumors were flying and I didn't want any negativity associated with this pregnancy so I told. All my family has know about my IF troubles for a long time so there was no problem with telling them and they've all been great about it. I have been very open about our IVF because I think it's important that people know that it's not something to be ashamed of. Plus, since we're having twin, the 1st question we get it, "do they run in your family?" so I'm just honest about it.
QOTW: How far along are you? How are you feeling physically/emotionally? When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant?
Hi Girls! Im 10w2d today! Emotionally Im feeling pretty good - very elated lately. More good moods than bad moods. Physically, I have a hard time eating many foods (especially meat still) and sometimes I eat too much (which isnt a lot) and I feel off. I dont really have morning sickness - more aversions than anything. Im tired and bloated quite a bit. We have shared with work, friends and family that we are expecting. Family knows of our IF struggles - and some close friends - but for those who dont - we arent going to "come out" about it unless asked. Id like to try and put some of that behind me and enjoy my pregnancy without constantly being reminded of the battle it took to get here. (just my opinion).
Congrats to all those moving to 2nd tri!
QOTW: How far along are you? I'm 8w today!
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I'm ready to be past the point where I worry so much. I'm really tired and have sore boobs but my nausea has gotten much better.
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? When we announce on FB I plan to say we did IVF. Otherwise, I wouldn't announce on FB but that's just my hang up.
After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
No heartbeat at 10w6d
FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
It's a boy!
My Blog - 3 Dogs, No Baby
QOTW: How far along are you? 5w5d
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? I woke up at 3am and my boobs were no longer sore. I proceeded to lay in bed and google search "loss of symptoms in early pg" on my phone through bouts of tears until I finally got up to face the day at 5am. DH is out of town and I am a little depressed and very, very hormonal. My boobs have gotten a bit sore as the day has gone on but I think I may have just bruised them from squeezing them for hours.
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? I do not plan on sharing it with anyone unless I know they are going through it and need advice or a sympathetic ear. I realize this may change when/if I have a living breathing baby in my arms but I have been on the receiving end of so much awful gossip and have heard such awful things said about ART that I don't really trust anyone but my immediate family with that info right now. I am sensitive these days to say the least!

M&W born at 37 weeks on 9/18/14 - I am the momma of 3 boys!!!
Hi everyone, I'm Steff. I finally feel comfortable joining the check-in after my 3rd beta. I think my due date is 12/23, but we'll find out for sure in 2 weeks at our first u/s. Possibility of twins, but not sure yet.
QOTW: I'm 5w2d, and just starting to feel the nausea if I don't eat enough for breakfast. Other than that, I feel completely normal. Emotionally, I'm letting this sink in and trying not to worry that I will lose this pregnancy. We have told our parents, but will wait to tell siblings and close friends after we confirm heartbeat. We'll tell co-workers and facebook at 12 weeks. We won't broadcast our IF, but may talk about it with closer friends. Our families already know what we've been through.

Huge congrats to my beautiful BFPB lmj8284, due June 2012!
"When you get to the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on." -FDR
Oh yay can you add me please?? I think my due date is going to be December 17 but I have only calculated it on a few different websites...I am thinking there is only one in there because we only transferred one but I guess I won't find out for sure until my first u/s which got pushed back to May 2nd.
QOTW: I believe that would make me 6w1d today. I am having very little symptoms. I don't know if it is just too early or what but it is hard for me to really believe it is true because I don't feel much of anything different in me! I am a little tired and boobs are a bit sore but I am still on prometrium. Emotionally I am ok for now, I think!
Most people that we will share it with already know of our struggles so I don't know how much explaining I will have to do. I'm not sure how I will handle others though....
I hope everyone has a good day!
Congrats to everyone moving on to the 2nd tri!!
QOTW: How far along are you? 10w3d
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Emotionally I am feeling good, but physically is another story. I have been having terrible headaches which on some days turn into migraines. My nausea and m/s has also gotten worse over the last few days. I
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? I'm still not really sure how I am going to handle this. I think I will share my IF struggles if people ask, or if it's with people that I am closer too, but I have a hard time being really open about it.
How far along are you? 10wks 2dys
How are you feeling physically/emotionally? Pretty good mostly. I have food aversions, and nausea. Thankfully I haven't been sick too many times. Emotionally I have been all over the place. I seem to be more on the moody side.
When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant? We were very open with our family and close friends about our IF journey. We will be more open to the public if they ask, but will probably not offer up the info. I am unsure if we will ever announce on FB.

Steff, Pnut, and srveatch - Welcome to 1st Tri!
To all the wonderful ladies moving on to 2nd Tri, we'll miss you and GL!!
How far along are you? How are you feeling physically/emotionally? When/if you are public with your big news, do you plan to share your IF struggles and what type of treatment you did to become pregnant?
I'm feeling ok. Emotionally..fine, physically still dealing with some nausea and indigestion but the fatigue seems to be easing up!
We're not public yet..only our immediate family (parents and siblings only) know.We have an u/s next week, if all is well, we'll let our parents start to tell the family..not sure when we'll out ourselves to the world! I've still yet to tell my boss. I'm not sure if I'll talk about our IF struggles..sometimes it feels good to just label myself as an ordinary pregnant lady!
