Hi ladies!
I noticed this morning that we missed our Tuesday check-in. Generally, I look forward to hearing about other PAIF moms. Also, T's and P's for our fearless leader, @Letsgobowlingx. I haven't seen any posts from her, so hopefully she is somewhere meeting her LO.
This is the place to share how you’re feeling, what symptoms you’ve been having, how your appointments have gone, u/s pictures, belly pictures, anything and everything!
Be Sure To Let Us Know Once You've Found Out If You're Team Blue, Team Pink, Team Purple Or Staying Team Green,
QOTW: Is there anything that you really want to do before LO arrives that will be difficult to do with a baby?

Re: ~~~~^PAIF Check-IN^^^5/28^~~~~
I am starting to enter the phase where I'm ready to have this baby so I won't have to deal with the aches, pains, leakage, reflux, etc., but at the same time am trying to relish being pregnant since this is my last one. I can't believe I only have 8 working days left, and will have a baby in less than 3 weeks (if not sooner!). Can't wait to meet my little guy.
QOTW: I really need to finish cleaning my house and planting my tomato plants asap. I'll feel motivated, get a little done, have some BH, and then stop.
After 3 failed Clomid+TI cycles, DD was conceived with IUI#1
TTC #2
Clomid 50 mg + IUI#1 = BFP, m/c and D&C at 7w1d
Clomid 50mg + IUI#2 = BFN
Clomid 100mg + IUI#3 = BFN
Lupron + Follistim + IVF#1 = 11ER, 10M, 10F, ET of 1 expanded BBA 5-day blast, 2 Frosties. BFP! Beta 10/13 = 264! Beta 10/15 = 702! EDD 6/21/14
By easier, do you mean to get pregnant, or be pregnant?
For me it was harder to get pregnant (and stay pregnant) the second time around, but the pregnancies themselves have been very similar. More morning sickness with this LO, and obviously more tired chasing around a toddler. But as you all know, going through IF makes you appreciate your pregnancy that much more and I've been able to take it all in stride.

38 weeks here and all is good. My appointment took a little turn yesterday and the OB seemed a little concerned about me not gaining weight and measuring small(I've been measuring on track this entire time, but am only up about 10 to 15 lbs from the start of this pregnancy). So if I make it to next Tuesday they will do an ultrasound to check baby and fluid levels. In the mean time I am just trying to relax, not worry about it too much, and pack on the calories! I am at about 3cm now so all we can do is just wait and see how it goes
We have done just about everything we can to prepare for this LO. My H really wants to go to a baseball game this weekend, it would probably be my only game of the summer, but we shall see if it happens!
June- Femara 7.5mg + Trigger + IUI = BFN August- Lap & Hysteroscopy = Blocked & Partially Blocked Tubes
September- Femara 5mg = CX - No Response on Left = BFN October- 100mg Clomid + Trigger + TI = BFN
IVF # 1: Stims 11/30 ER 12/12/12! (10R, 10M, 8F, 2T, 6 F) :: Beta #1- 176 c/p @ 4w4d
FET #1 February 26th :: Lost 4 to Thaw, Transferred 2 = BFFN
IVF # 2 Stims 5/10 ER 5/21 (15R, 13M, 13F, 2T, 7F- 6d3 & 1d5) :: Beta # 1- 15 c/p @ 4w
FET #2.2 Scheduled for September 20th
2 Thawed, 2 Transferred! Beta #1- 96, Beta #2 906! :: EDD June 10th
2015- 2 failed FET. We are done
SURPRISE! BFP 8/8/16 EDD 4/1/17
And I hope the rest of you are doing well!
I am 36 weeks and had my weekly appointment yesterday. All was good and I will be finding out my Group B Strep results at next week's appointment. Since the OB was doing the Group B Strep test, she decided to check my cervix as well and I am a fingertip dilated she told me. Tonight I *think* I lost my mucus plug (clear and stringy) which has me somewhat freaked out as I was planning on keeping this baby in for 4 more weeks! Seems kind of coincidental that I had my cervix checked yesterday and then I noticed my mucus plug today. Thoughts?
QOTW: Touch up paint around the house (which is almost done) and getting our carpet professionally cleaned (scheduled for this weekend)! Gosh, I'm so boring.
I'm hoping to go see A Million Ways to Die in the West this weekend since it will be a while before DH & I can go to a movie again. Other than that, I've just been trying to enjoy my lazy mornings of waking up when I want & lounging in bed for a while.
Me: 33, HSG & b/w normal; partial septate uterus DH: 33, SA good but low morphology (3%)
Started trying to make a baby Apr'12 Aug'13 DX: Unexplained Infertility
Sept'13: 50mg Clomid + IUI #1 (13m + 11m post wash) CDs 11&12 + 200mg progesterone 3x daily = BFP! Beta 16dpIUI = 391 EDD 6.14.14 Delivered 6.13.14
Both are doing great despite being late preemies and have only dropped 1 and 3% of their body weights. We're nursing and supplementing because they're little peanuts! Everyone took pics on their phone so I'm waiting on them to share a few!
To be completely honest, the delivery sucked major ass and the birth story will take me a bit because it was pretty scary and painful. I'm trying to focus on the good stuff right now but will share the scary a little later!
I'm thinking of all us PAIFERs and can't wait for everyone to have their babies! It's totally surreal that these little people are mine. It's so crazy how fast you fall in love with them.
