Re: ****Third Tri Check-in 1/24****
37 weeks on Sunday over here. Finally getting over the flu. I must admit starting to get physically comfortable, right around 35 weeks all kinds if aches and pains popped up but the flu did not help! Have weekly nst, bpp, and obgyn so keeping us busy. And today I'm packing my hospital bag!
Qotw: name was picked, it's George after my dad who passed last year. And we shared it as soon as we picked it.
Me:34 PCOS, one kinked tube, low thyroid.
DH:39 lower than average count.
Married 2006. 3 failed IUIs and countless BFNs.
~IVF#1: July 2012~

Hi ladies! Can I be added? EDD 4/11/2014, 29 weeks today.
Everything is going great so far. Definitely starting to get less and less comfortable and more and more tired, though the exhaustion might also be due to my increased hours at work (I'm a CPA). Next appt is Feb 13 at 32w, then we change it up to every 2 weeks. OB is doing a growth u/s at that point and we can't wait to see our little guy again!
QOTW: We are naming him Tyler Nicholas. There's not too much rhyme or reason to this. One of DH's favorite movie characters is named Tyler and I like the name (we picked this like 10 years ago) and we just like Nicholas and thought it sounded nice!
**Warning - Child Mentioned**
Me: 33, DH: 39 Unexplained Infertility
4 IUIs (chlomid) in 2013 which resulted in DS born in April 2014
TTC #2 since August 2015
5 rounds of IUIs (1 chlomid: resistent, 1 femara, 3 gonal f) = all BFN
ER March 9: 26 eggs retrieved, 19 mature and 17 fertilized, 8 made it to genetic testing, 4 normal!
FET #1 5/31 = BFN
FET#2 7/26 = BFP!
Congrats to all the new mamas!
Any Updates? Upcoming appointments? Nothing really new- we have our next OB appt on the 29th and our 3rd growth scan ultrasound on 02/04 (fingers crossed that Turtle stays at (or even above) the 10%.
Qotw: Have you settled on a name/names? How did you choose and are you sharing the name(s) before the big day? We have 2 names picked for a boy and 2 for a girl. The plan is to decide in the hospital...but we are pretty sure it'll be Michael if we have a boy.

Hi all! hope everyone is feeling good.
Any Updates? Upcoming appointments?
Lotsa back issues this week. I blame it on overdoing it on my day off on monday: hunching over my sewing machine and cutting table for hours, going to the gym, grocery shopping, etc., etc. On the plus side I have been sleeping great! SO and I started our childbirth classes this week. His comment after class: "Why would anyone NOT get a c-section? Just to get it over with!" Have an u/s this week to check where my placenta is at.
Qotw: Have you settled on a name/names? How did you choose and are you sharing the name(s) before the big day?
We came to an agreement on a name on New Year's day (barring any last minute changes of mind). First name is one of my paternal great-grandmother's, and MN is my maternal grandmother's. Not sharing until she is here!
Im 28 weeks now and have an u/s mon for cervix ckeck and baby growth. Cant wait to see LO again.
QOTW. If its a girl it will be Julia and if its a boy it will be Luca. MH is Italian. We didnt go with the original Guilia spelling because I didnt want her name to be butchered in school.
I'm 29w2d today. Things are going well. We start 2x a week appts next week.
Qotw: no official names yet. We want to meet them first. We do know we will use dhs name and my middle name for their middle names and I think we'll name our boy after our dads who have the same first name. Jury is out on the girl first name though.
