I am almost 12 weeks! Getting closer and closer to being out of the first trimester! I have my first OB apt scheduled for May 27 and am working on getting my NT scan set up with the MFM.
This week has been a hard one symptom-wise. I have had really awful nausea and the exhaustion has finally hit. Tuesday I went to sleep at 6 pm right when I got home and slept until the next morning. We did get to tell our family and friends about the baby over the weekend. It was very fun.
I lurk on you ladies constantly and am rooting for each of you!
QOTW: I had a rainbow brite doll that I dragged around everywhere.
@maitaibeth -- Little Fiona is getting SO big. I am so excited she is getting closer and closer to going home!
@1983lindsey Love your bump pic!(That's the first pic you've taken of it??)

Hi ladies, it's been awhile and I don't recognize too many names but I spent nearly two years on this board and always enjoyed reading the grad check-ins. Meet Jack, he will be one month tomorrow:). Always thinking about the IF community and pray you all get your BFPs!
Hi ladies! Sorry for the late(ish) checkin! We've been dealing with massive flooding issues in our house after this weeks string of storms
15 weeks tomorrow and I'm officially a "normal" pregnant lady! first OB appt was today and I don't have to go back until 20w for our anatomy scan! Morning sickness is still pretty gross, but manageable as long as I take my Zofran faithfully. My OB gave me a prescription for my migraines too so I'm super excited about that! He also doesn't seemed too concerned at this point about the placenta placement since I haven't had any major bleeding issues so that was pretty good news too. I was pretty worried about it.
Thinking of and rooting for you ladies always!

@tippytoes06 what did they give you for migraines, if you don't mind me asking? I am going to talk to my OB about mine at my appt. TIA.
The prescription says Fioricet - he said it was basically Tylenol, a small amount of caffiene, and a mild muscle relaxer.
He also "prescribed" riboflavin 400mg once a day, and magnesium 250mg twice a day (both in addition to whatever I may be getting already in my prenatal). I already take an extra magnesium supplement, but I'm going to add the riboflavin.

No real updates for me. I'll be 10 weeks tomorrow and I'm pretty stoked. I have my first OB appointment on Monday and from what I gather it will be an information session and they'll draw a ton of blood. I'm looking forward to the appointment because I haven't had an appointment since I graduated from the RE.
My symptoms come and go so each day is something new. I've been waking up with headaches, some days my boobs hurt, some days I'm nauseous, some days I'm tired and some days I feel awesome. I puked this morning while brushing my teeth. I've always had a pretty bad gag reflex but pregnancy makes it worse. :-&
We told my family and extended family about my pregnancy and everyone is delighted. My cousin dealt with IF and had twins via IVF. The twins are a year and two months now so their baby items are no longer needed. On mothers day my aunt and cousin filled their cars and gave me so many fantastic hand me downs. I'm so grateful because this saves my hubby and I a ton of money. We received a big swing, little swing, vibrating chair, two space saver high chairs, a car seat and base, activity mat, pack and play, walker and baby activity chair. I've been sneaking downstairs and looking at everything - it just makes me smile.
I'm still lurking on a many times daily basis. I know that not everyone is "all welcome" so I've been doing a lot of "Love It" on posts. Rooting for all of you and miss you girls!
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!!!
Hi everyone I hope you're doing well. I'm 16 weeks pregnant this week.Baby and I kind of had an eventful week I've basically had a really easy pregnancy so far, well this past week I was in and out of labor and delivery 3 days in a row due to my cervix being high and because of that extreme pressure was forcing down on my bladder causing me to be unable to urinate on my own so I needed a take home foley cathether it was really uncomfy, but the most important thing is our little one is healthy as can be inside of me.This week we did have a regular baby check in appointment at the ob best birthday present ever seeing our little munchkin on the ultrasound and hearing the heartbeat it still amazes me every single time. Next appointment is the sex reveal on June 11th. I'm so excited. I'm sending good wishes everyone's way.
TTC since 2012
Dx : DOR
IUI #1 (Follistim switched over to Menopur injections) - BFN
Attempted IUI #2 (Menopur injections only cycle) better response on the Menopur then the Follistim combination treatment cycle however my cycle was still canceled due to my eggs not maturing and follicles not growing enough on a high dose of Menopur (Re said I could try a cycle of comid + ovidrel for an IUI) for my second IUI( praying this works for us)
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)
