Re: ~*~ 3T Grad Check In ~*~
Good morning, ladies.
All is well here. I had my NT scan and my first meeting with my MFM last week. I LOVE him! We got some great pictures from the NT scan and everything looks good. Baby was jumping and wiggling. He/she even mooned us at one point. DH thought it was hilarious. I go back to the OB June 17 for my 16 week check up and then back to the MFM on July 3 to see how baby is progressing and to find out the sex! Can't wait.
Here are some of the latest pics.
I continue to lurk on you all and am cheering for you constantly.
QOTW: Hmmmm....surprisingly I think John Mayer was the last great concert we went to. It was just a guitar jam session for several hours. You don't realize what an amazing guitar player he is until you go to a concert and he just jams out. It was very cool.

I'm 12 weeks! finally! I feel like the past 2 months have been the longest of my life. My bump finally moved up to my belly button so that is exciting. People that know me can tell it's a baby, but strangers would just think it's a big lunch. I'm going to a shower this weekend for my friend who also did IVF...she had a disastrous road to pregnancy and so I'm so excited to see her.
QOTW: I realized I don't go to enough concerts! Last one was coldplay in 2005. oy.

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)

I ended up in the ER yesterday from an IBS flare-up. They did an ultrasound and baby is just fine so that's all I care about. But I told the tech how the ring test my Mom did said girl (and she's never been wrong) but the one my husband did said boy, and as I was leaving she said, "I hate to be definitive at this point if I'm not saying boy, but it looks like your Mom might be right". Squee!!!!
Can't wait for my anatomy scan on Wednesday to hopefully actually see!!!
ETA: QOTW: Cher and Tina Turner were my very favorites. I MUST see Metallica if they ever come back.
