June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blockedtherefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!

Plan for IVF December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI) IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN
I don't have much to report this week. No new doctor's appointments since I graduated from my RE last week. Waiting on the MFM to schedule my NT scan.
My little sister graduates college this weekend so I am going to visit my family. My mom and sister know about the baby but my grandmother who is visiting from out of state does not. I had a card made for her that says "The best grandparents get promoted to great-grandparents" and inside it says "Baby [insert last name here] due November 2014" with the last ultrasound pic. I am really looking forward to giving it to them.
As always, I am constantly lurking on you all and hoping to see you all on PAIF soon. Lots of love to you all.
Hi ladies! Not too much to update here - 13w6d...still on pelvic rest for the placenta previa. DH is pretty disappointed about that. I've had some bleeding and severe cramping, but the OB won't see me any earlier, so I have to wait for my appointment next Thursday to make sure everything is okay. I've been using the Doppler daily just to find a little comfort.
I feel like I'm starting to look more pregnant instead of just chunky. I'm sure at this point it's still all bloat, but I'm going to rock it anyway.
Thinking of you gals always!
Slowly rising betas - Ectopic suspected on 8/8/14 & confirmed on 8/11/14
Methotrexate on 8/12/14 -HCG negative on 9/2/14

I have a great update this week because I just got back from my 20 week ultrasound and appointment with the doctor. Everything is looking great and the doctor has no concerns at all. I go back again in 4 weeks but until then I just get to enjoy feeling little one's movements. They should get stronger in weeks to come so yay for that. My DH has felt it once but since then when he puts his hands on my belly LO stops. LOL being a brat already. My bump has appeared and those who know me have said oh there is your baby bump. I've attached some pictures so please enjoy. The ultrasound tech was nice enough to switch it to 3d for the last few shots and I've attached the best one. Ahh still can't believe this is happening. I even told the doctor I keep waiting for something to happen and he said well everything looks great and will continue that way. Stupid IF brain.
I lurk often and hope to see you all over at PAIF soon!! Lots of hugs to those that need them!!
Me 29 DH 30 Unexplained IF TTC since wedding May 2012. IUI #1 11/5/13-BFN. IUI #2 12/5/13-BFN. IUI #3-12/30/14. All three with Femara CD 3-7 and Ovidrel trigger. +HPT 1/13/14 First +ever!!! Beta #1 195 Beta #2 1/15-533. Ultrasound on 2/4 showed one bean. EDD 9/22/14. Team Green turned Team Blue-Baby Conner arrived on 9/19/14.
Ahhhh ... I miss you girls. It's only been a few days since I announced on here, but I lurk daily. This board is the most supportive board and I miss you gals terribly. It's so hard to not start responding to posts that I see. I want to cheer you on and I'll openly cheer if I see a PAIF or all welcome.
I graduated from my RE on Monday. I was 8w2d but I measured at 8w5d. I made my first OB appointment for May 19 and from what I gather it's an information session. I'm looking forward to it and hoping that I'll get another ultrasound but I don't think that I'll be that lucky.
Here's the picture from Monday .... My Little Bean.
Married on October 20, 2012. Began trying in January 2013. RE appointment & testing December 2013 - February 2014= Unexplained IF, possible endometriosis IUI#1- March 22 (100mg clomid, 75 mg of Bravelle, Ovidrel trigger) = BFP!!!
We had our a/s 2 weeks ago and baby girl is doing great. She's measuring right on schedule and her organs look to be developing like they should. DH and I are beyond relieved that things are going well. I've also started feeling her move on a daily basis. The first time I felt her, she had the hiccups...it was so weird! She really gets active after breakfast and after my mid-morning strawberries...she feels like a little fish in there. I can't wait for DH to be able to feel her from the outside...sometimes I don't think he believes me when I tell him I can feel her, lol.
DH STILL hasn't started the nursery! I'm so excited and can't wait to start decorating...but I think he's still in denial. I have started a registry...and holy cow, I had no clue how involved it could get! Some of the stuff out there is outrageous...look up the NoseFrida *gag*.
I miss you ladies and please know I'm cheering you on. Looking forward to more of you coming over to PAIF. Fx for your upcoming cycles!

Ecstatically married July 30, 2011--TTC since Jan 2013:::Baby #1 due 9/11, Conceived on cycle #5 of Femara + Hcg + IUI
Hey 3T! I just got back from an appointment and heard the baby's heart beating for the first time, which was kind of exciting. I'm officially in the 2nd trimester now and things seem to still be going well. OB said to keep coming back every 2 weeks, I thought that I was going to get switched to monthly appointments, happy dance! We're going to start telling people now, family this weekend and friends/co-workers next week.
I know that this can be a tough weekend when you're dealing with IF, sending hugs to everyone to get through it, I hope that you have some fun stuff planned!
TTC since Sept 2011, Unexplained IF Oct 12 - Jan 14: 3 clomid/TI cycles, 2 hysteroscopies, 2 IUIs, 1 BFP (MMC @ 12w), 2 more IUIs Feb 14: Gonal-f + IUI #5 = BFP! (EDD 11/4/14) Baby boy arrived 11/13/14!
I'm 18 weeks and 4 days! Nothing new to report. Heading back to work on Monday after 2 weeks off due to high blood pressure and dehydration. I am anxious to get out of the house and get motivated to end my school year with my students.
Next week on Thursday, 5/15 is my anatomy scan. Looking forward to seeing the babies again and so praying we continue to hear good news.
Thinking of you all this weekend and hoping next year you all have your "take home babies". Rooting for every one of you! HUGS!
