  Hello, ladies! 

  I lurk on you ladies all the time and am rooting for you all! Sending big ((hugs)) to those who need them.

  We had our first ultrasound yesterday and everything looks great.  We got to hear and see the heartbeat!  It was awesome.  Hb was 144 bpm.  Baby is measuring a little bigger than originally expected at 7w4d (instead of 6w6d) so they put my EDD at November 29, 2014.  Next ultrasound is in two weeks -- April 29. 

  QOTW:  To be honest, we haven't really ever discussed names.  I am always listening for names now though and mentally cataloguing ones I like or don't like.

  Hi Everyone! FX for all the ladies cycling now and hugs to those who need them. We had our anatomy scan last week which was perfect and got the results of all our first and second trimester testing. Everything was negative, which was a huge relief!  Starting to feel little kicks and punches too, which is reassuring since the OB said I may not have another ultrasound AT ALL before birth. I'm not sure she understands what a source of anxiety that is for me, so I may have to bring it up again at my next appt.

  
  

  ETA QOTW: We're still good with the boy name we've had picked out for over a year. We never did have a girl name picked out and those are proving to be trickier but we have it narrowed down. Still lots of time to think it over, thank goodness.

  Hi ladies! Still rooting and lurking daily!
  
  11 weeks tomorrow! Still dealing with some intense morning sickness and dehydration, but the baby is measuring right on track. We elected to do a NT scan, so that will be next Thursday, and our last RE appt will be the following Thursday.
  
  QOTW: we have had names picked out for a really long time and so far we've stuck with them despite flipping through a few baby name books!

  I'm so glad for this check in, I miss everyone so much. . I posted on nov14 and those girls are like sharks, they just attacked me right away for posting something that was brought up the day before, but it wasn't related really. *sigh* needless to say I'm not going to post there! those ladies are bitches. They are so undeserving of their pregnancies and don't know what a struggle it is for people. . So yeah, back to baby. WE ARE 10 WEEKS 5 DAYS! (feels very strange to say) we had genetic testing done for several different genetic issues and problems, and as a bonus, you could find out the sex of the baby, we honestly wanted to wait until June to find out, and do a gender reveal. But we just couldn't help ourselves, we could find out in 6 days. . Eek! Only parents and best friends know so far so were sending out an Easter mailer to announce to grandparents, aunts, uncles..ect. And we're telling DH's brother and grandmother at Easter dinner. ! ! QOTW-- girl names-top choice (OLIVE), second choices Ruth, fern(DH pick), and Penelope-----$, boy names-top choice (LINCOLN)-though when we were watching teen mom 2 the other day kail named her baby Lincoln and now DH is pissed haha, other options EMERY(family name) idk I need to look through the baby book, esp if we can find out gender/sex too lol

  Hey ladies,
  
  I still lurk often and I want to offer any hugs to those that need them.
  
  17 weeks for me and I am doing good. Exhaustion is starting to go away and my bump just started to pop out. I had an OB appt last week and I've gained 10lbs already. They didn't seem concerned since I was borderline underweight before getting pregnant. LO Heartbeat was strong at 158. Looking forward to my big 20 week ultrasound to see him/her again.
  
  Think of you guys often and know I am cheering all of you on!

Not much going on pretty easygoing pregnancy so far just hungry, and have occasionally headaches I only have Nausea when I wake in the morning occasionally. After next week we have an advanced maternal age appt because of my age and genetic counseling. May 8th we have a baby check in appt followed by a second ob ultrasound appointment the following week. I hope all of you are hanging in there!! And I'm sending good wishes everyone's way on this board.

    Clomid + Ovidrel protocol worked still a BFN as a result

  Attempted cycle  Clomid  + Ovidrel protocol for IUI # 3 (Unable to do this cycle due to a cyst)

  I thought about this all weekend, and I just have to say something, because it is REALLY bothering me - I find the above highlighted to be *so* offensive. I went and read the conversation and the ladies were not sharks and did not attack you in any way. You have no idea what they have gone through to get pregnant. Just because they didn't post on the 3T board, doesn't mean they didn't have their share of struggles. To say that they are "undeserving" of their pregnancies is just evil and honestly makes me a little sick. Especially when it's coming from someone who HAS had problems getting pregnant. You would think you would know better than to jump to conclusions like that. Many people who struggle with IF do so silently. I think you owe each and every one of them an apology.

  It's fine to think whatever you want, but this was my post and I'm allowed to vent, I felt attacked after I asked about the trisomy because they basically just said this was already discussed, and how dare I bring it up again, it made me feel like a dumba** for trying to fit in and feel like I belonged. . also you did not receive the private messages I did, or the messages from other IF GIRLS apologizing for their actions --this was also the day I was on the phone with my insurance company for 4 hours after them denying my surgery so I was already emotionally vulnerable. . I tried so hard to fit in to the cool kids. I wanted to enjoy my pregnancy and act like IF DIDNT AFFECT ME, but go ahead and judge me @tippytoes06‌ I don't even know why I bother anymore. There's not a chance in the world that something posted online won't offend one person. So cast me out. I don't care any more. .

  Venting and saying that people are "undeserving of their pregnancies" are two totally different things. I'm sorry you were having a bad day, but that doesn't make what you said right. I also think you are taking this way too personally, just like you did in that post on that board. I'm not casting you out. I'm just stating that coming from a person who has struggled with IF, you should know how offensive that statement is.

  @pcrumley - First, it's never a good idea to talk shit about one board on another board - they can see this too you know.   Second, they pointed you to a thread where it was being discussed, that's not attacking, that's being helpful, but you coming here and calling all of them bitches?  Yeah, that's pretty rude.  I couldn't agree more with @tippytoes06, you don't know what their struggles are or have been, but how dare you say they don't deserve their babies, that is so much worse than anything that was said to you in that thread.

  I think what you said was heinous and one of the comments most deserving of being flamed on TB.  And I have yet to see you apologize for what you said.  I have never said the kind of crap you did (because I don't believe I'm more deserving than anyone else), but if I realized I had offended anyone or misspoke on a bad day, or whatever your excuse is, I would be apologizing profusely, not trying to play the victim here.

  I'm going to try to kindly roll this back in = )
  
  I haven't posted in a while ladies, so sorry! I am continuously rooting for you ladies and am spreading awareness via FB about NIAW!! All good responses so far = )
  (((HUGS!!))) to those who need them.
  
  I will be 27 weeks on wed (3rd tri!!!!) and I am feeling "ok". I have been having quite a few dizzy spells and had to call in sick to work on Saturday. I am having trouble with my 12 hour work shifts, being on my feet, etc. I have my first baby shower on Sunday and I am so excited/anxious. I hate being the center of attention!
  QOTW: I sort of always thought we would go with more jazzy, modern, unique names. We chose Eli Preston. I guess not doing Elijah makes it a little more jazzy = )
  
  Here is my 26week pick

  Thanks @tippytoes06‌ That comment really disturbed me. I even went to go see if they were mean to her and I didn't get it but I didn't want to say anything.

  I just want to say that this thread gives me hope (the grads checking in and updating on their pregnancies). May we all overcome our struggles and be able to one day soon post a similar update. Hugs to you ladies and congrats to all of you on your pregnancies!

  Married 8/20/2011

  TTC #1 since Jan 2013

  First appointment with RE 10/2013.  

  April 2014 - Clomid 100mg CD3-7.  HCG shot CD10 IUI #1 done on 4/12/14 (CD12) ....BFN
  May 2014 - Break cycle to repeat saline sonogram and re-group.  Travel to Kauai 5/7-5/12 (Yay!!)
  

  June 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD4-8.  HCG shot CD14.  IUI#2 done on 6/9 and 6/10 (CD15-16) w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW .... BFN

  July 2014 - Clomid 150mg CD3-7.  Ultrasound CD12 - 4 mature follies! HCG trigger shot CD12 AM.  IUI#3 on CD13 w/ Prometrium suppositories during TWW ....BFN

  July 2014 - Repeat ultrasound done to measure size of fibroid - 8x9cm (the size of a grapefruit!) Surgery referral made.

  August 2014 - MRI done which revealed 2 fibroids: a 13x15cm fibroid as well as an 8x7cm one.  Super freak out mode over surgery plan.  OB-GYN/surgeon said surgery would most likely have to be a laparotomy (open abdominal surgery)

  August 2014 - After a 2nd opinion, plan to take Lupron x 2 months to shrink fibroids then laparoscopic/robotic myomectomy.  Surgery date is set for Nov 21st!  

  November 2014 - Robotic myomectomy done (2 large fibroids removed, mild endo found).  Benched x 3 months
