  Hi everyone!  We saw the heart beat yesterday and were so relieved! We go back in two weeks and my RE will probably release me in a month.  Not too many symptoms...typical bloating, exhaustion, eating all the time.  Can't complain.  Just taking it one day at a time and enjoying each day.

  Hi ladies! Things are going well, had an ultrasound yesterday then an appt. with the NP at my RE office. Both babies are looking good and measuring right on track. Got to hear the heartbeats again-which I loved! Both had HR in the 160's which she said is good. They have started to wean me off of the estrace and in two more weeks I will be off the Crinone. I have my last appointment with my RE in two weeks and then an appointment with my OB the following weeks. Hope all you ladies are doing ok. I lurk over hear often, but try not to comment too much. Best of luck to all of you! Hope to see you over on PAIF soon.

  Good morning ladies! I hope you're all doing well!
  
  I will be 34 weeks tomorrow, it's so strange to say that. I had my family shower last weekend and next time I see most of them, I'll have a baby! I have my next appointment Friday, touring the hospital next week, then I'll start my weekly appointments. I'm getting very achy and uncomfortable the majority of the day now and exhaustion is coming back. I slept for nearly 10 hours Sunday night, 8 Monday night, and nearly 10 again last night and I still feel like a nap in the middle of the day.
  
  Good luck to everyone cycling and those about to start! I hope to see lots of good betas soon!

  I am team pink!!!!  I can't believe we are having a girl.  I cried when the u/s tech told us.  I can now consistently feel our baby moving.  DH felt her for the first time a few days ago.  She was tap dancing across his hand.

  It was such a real moment when we called our families.  It was worth every tear and every injection. 

  Good luck to all the ladies who are cycling this month.  I truly hope you have your miracle this time.  I know how hard it is to wait.  I still lurk on IF to see how others are doing.

  Hi ladies!  I'm doing well - 8 weeks today!  Unlike others, I was released from my RE right after my first u/s last week... I'm kind of jealous that he didn't keep me around and give me more u/s!!  Tomorrow is my appt with my OB - we'll see how that goes!  Symptoms have been mild - just sore boobs, a little nausea and cramping here and there and tired a lot.  Oh, and eating a lot... all I want is carbs!

  Oh, and I LOVE piggies!!

  In my 22nd week. Team Pink.
  Last appointment revealed that I'm measuring small. Went from 2 days behind to 2 weeks behind in a 4 week period. BUT, they say that all babies grow differently, and this one has been kicking like a champ. I find comfort in every twitch, thump, or anything I feel!!!! Hoping she hits a growth spurt soon and puts all of our fears to rest.
  
  Two more weeks until viability...
