***Infertility Mom's Check In!***

Hi Ladies - 
Sorry I guess I wasn't thinking when I said check in's on Tuesday's and then forgot about today (holiday throwing me off and all!)  So we will have one more informal check in before I set up the list etc.  and really get organized if you don't mind (I work retail at Tar.get so was really busy today).  ANYWHO!  

How about for today's QOTW we just make it a "Brag day"  If you have pics of U/S or if you want to brag on your beta or whatever...tell us what you'd looooove to share now that you're finally on the "other side" of infertility.  

And again, thanks for understand with the holiday.  I hope any of you that celebrate have a very very Merry Christmas!

Re: ***Infertility Mom's Check In!***

  • I was freaking out about having my first appt scheduled at my 10 week mark... Who can go 10 weeks knowing nothing about their baby?! So my sister who works in a hospital scheduled an appt with her ultrasound tech friend- got me in on Sunday at 7w4d! Merry Christmas to us. Heard a heartbeat -146 bpm. Here's my bean! Looks like a gummy bear. :)

  • I'm waiting for my second u/s that is jan 6. I decided thst I wanted to see the baby a little bigger, and have peaceful relaxing vacations without all the I have to's.
    I think I moved an extra week! We will be almost 9W!
    My step sister announced that she is pregnant with #2. She is 2W ahead of me! (9W). She'll have her baby in July. The funny part is that my mom is a little upset cause she has vacation the whole month of August and because of the baby she's not going anywhere! I can't wait to see her face when I tell her that I'm having my first in August!!!! She'll be thrilled, I know!!!
  • I'd love to be part of this. :) 
    I'm so elated to be 8w today. Best Christmas ever!

    Here's my u/s from Monday... Our last RE appointment is this coming Monday then I graduate to the OB. First appt there is Jan 9. So amazing!

  • Thank you for starting the check in! I'm 7 weeks, 3 days ... But who's counting ;) I have had very few symptoms, which makes me nervous, but my RE says I'm just lucky. We has our first u/s last week and everything looked good. Our next is with my OB on Jan 8th. We decided to tell my extended family last night, I told myself I have to stop worrying something will go wrong and just let myself be excited about it! I'm glad we did, so much fun! Best of luck to everyone!!

  • Thanks for starting this check-in.  Nothing to exciting happening here other than crazy hunger pains and my strong sense of smell has gotten even stronger. Guess the dogs will need more baths more often!  We go in for our gestational sonogram on New Year's eve where we hope to see a heartbeat.
