  Hello, 

  
  

  I am 29 weeks and just passed my three hour glucose test. I did fail one of the four bloods, but you need to fail two to count as a fail. So happy and relieved. The same happend my last pregnancy with my DD. I have my weekly ob next Friday and an ultrasound on the 19th. I cannot wait to see my little girl. 

  
  

  I am from Bulgaria Eastern Europe and her name had to end on a a or e, and had to work in both languages. We also name after relatives, mom and dad mostly. My dd is after my mom so this baby is after my dad who passed away in 96. Her name will be Gabriella Sofia. I am from the city of Sofia, Bulgaria, so that is  a nice connection. We call her Gabi for short. 

  
  

  Best of luck ladies.

  Hi everyone, I'm 29w5d and doing ok. Broke down and started taking Zantac for the heartburn- much better but I may need to take it twice a day. Sleep is a little more difficult these days but slept well last night which was a nice surprise!

  
  

   We are close to a name but DH doesn't love it as much as I do. No other real contenders though and we will be keeping it a secret until she arrives!

  Me:30 low AMH; DH:30 MFI (count, motility, morphology)

  2 rounds clomid 100 mg -BFN

  IUI#1- 25 mg clomid- July 2012= BFN!

  IUI #2 August = BFN!

  IUI #3 September = BFN!

  
  

  IVF #1 November - converted to IUI #4 due to poor response = BFN

  IVF #1.2 February- converted to IUI #5 due to poor response = BFN

  IVF #1.3 April- micro dose Lupron flare with HGH; 14R, 13M, 11F! Transfer of 1 day 5 blast on 4/30, 4 frosties. BFP! Beta #1 9dp5dt= 179; Beta #2 11dp5dt= 442; Beta #3 4106 Stick baby stick!!

  
  

  *trying to keep hope*

  37 weeks!  This past week has been tough as I am now considered IUGR (intrauterine growth restricted) because the baby is under the 10th percentile for size (she was measuring in the 30th percentile until recently).  I had an ultrasound at the MFM last Tuesday and she was measuring 4lbs 11oz.  

  
  

  I have to go for weekly NST's and ultrasounds at the MFM to make sure she is doing ok.  Luckily all the other tests (heart rate, cord blood flow, movement, blood pressure, etc) all look great, so baby girl just needs to keep growing!  I hope to keep her in there for a few more weeks at least so that she gets bigger before making her appearance. 

  
  

  Name - DH and I pretty much decided on Elizabeth Claire.  We call her "Ellie" for short.

  
  
  
  
  TTC #1** Went off BCP July 2011
  
  Me: 31 DH:31
  
  
  Jan 2012 Dx PCOS by OB/Gyn
  
  
  July 2012 - Tests with RE confirmed PCOS and annovulation
  

  
  

  2 rounds of clomid, 5 IUI's using clomid + injectibles. 

  
  

  Surprise BFP while on break cycle due to cysts.  It's a girl! Baby "E" born on Thanksgiving Day 11/28/13

  Hi ladies!
  
  I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow. Had my OB appt today and all looks and sounds good. I also had my shower on Sat which was wonderful. My family did an amazing job planning it and we got so much stuff! Luckily I was off today so have spent the last 2 days organizing and putting everything away. It's all kind of overwhelming but so exciting at the same time!
  
  We think we've decided on our name but I am keeping it totally under wraps!
