A & K, married 7/1/13.
After 10 months of ttc via medicated IUIs and two early losses, we finally got our boys- Perfect premie twins born 5/27/14.
Here are two pictures from our wedding. We have been married for a year and a half now.
Here's the story behind the first picture...before the ceremony we went over the whole deal with the officiant. We had decided who would do the repeat after me stuff first, etc. Well, as we were standing up there, I was in lala land. When I brought myself back down to earth, she had gotten to the repeat after me part. I panicked and couldn't remember who was supposed to go first. I waited for a second or two and then figured it must be me so I started in. C yelled at me and said it was her turn first and to stop rushing her. Everyone laughed! It definitely helped me relax for the rest of the ceremony.
Me: 30 DW (aka C): 29
Together since 2/15/11 ~ Legally married in NY on 9/29/12
***CP mentioned***
We've been working on baby #1 since July 2013 using Open ID donor sperm. 8 IUI attempts with 5 actual IUIs and one chemical pregnancy. We have one fresh IVF cycle under our belts as well as a FET. I have endometriosis and a uterine septum that was corrected via surgery in November 2013.
11/14/14 - Second HSG shows that tubes are still clear and ute is looking good.
12/6/14 - Started BCPs in prep for IVF #2
12/22/14 - Saline u/s and endometrial scratch (All was clear and OUCH!)
1/2/15 - Began stimming for IVF #2
****All Welcome!****
We are Mommas to four fur babies - 3 dogs and 1 cat.
KLeigh1, 2momsinCA, YBnormal85, I love the baby bumps!
Not sure if we have a document for this yet, but I'd love to get a document that lists everyone's due date and all that.
Wallace323 , I'm not sure why but I can't see the photo of your girls
The first photo is just the most recent photo of B and I (I'm on the left in navy/white). And the second photo is on N and I laying in bed.
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***
FET #1 December 2014
Here are the girls at one month (a few days ago). We are huge Disney fans and we got this giant stitch at Disneyworld on our honeymoon. They are also wearing my favorite diaper covers! V is on the left, A on the right
And the bump might put another version of the pict below because I can't figure out how to delete it. All but about two pictures had V looking like this (poor thing does not like to be put down)
I already shared a bump pic earlier this week when I hit the 30 week mark.
Here is the bump from a different angle... as I am sitting at my desk at work, I now have to pull my laptop all the way to the edge of my desk due to the fact that I can't scoot close enough anymore without my belly hitting the desk. This is a new milestone!

Anyways... I know I have shared before that I have this ridiculous airbrush hat that is so tacky it hurts. I like to take it everywhere and have a pretty ridiculous collection of me in the hat different places (including right after my most recent half marathon and our legal wedding).
Anyways... I found this photo of me when was a kid. I am calling it the original photo of me and "the hat".
