Re: Grad Check-In
I always miss this until it's late and everyone is over it. Not today TTGP, not today..
JJ is 10 months and some change. Loved thanksgiving and was eating stove top (fancy) by the handful. We went to see Santa on Sunday and obviously loved him. I was THIS close to making this our Christmas card..
Rooting for you ladies always.
PCOS diagnosed secondary infertility
BFP #1 (letrozole 2.5mg + ovidrel) February 2016, MMC April 2016 @ 7 weeks
BFP #2 (letrozole 5mg + ovidrel) July 2016, Beta #1 359, Beta #2 745, Beta #3 11484
EDD April 9th, 2017
Right now I'm on progesterone and estrace so I have ALL the bloat and sore boobs. Other than that I've only had a bit of nausea here and there. I'm so relieved that constipation doesn't rule my life anymore (for now)!
My RE's office goes by LMP so for my 7 week appt I'll be 6w2d. I'm a little worried about going in so early, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what's going on in there
No pic because there is really nothing to show at this point.
I love you guys, and I'm always rooting for you!
I'm 13w5d today and I feel great! I'm not showing yet besides an insane amount of bloat but I'm out of the exhaustion, food aversions, and the nausea. I got my blood drawn for the NT test yesterday, so if I don't get a call in the next 10 days, we're good to go.
I've been thinking a lot about you ladies this week since my brother-in-law announced that him and his girlfriend are expecting as well. They've been calling it a "surprise" pregnancy not like our "trying." I've heard little comments in the family, "it's more natural" etc. When I asked her how it was a surprise, she says they weren't "trying," they were just off the pill for two years and sometimes using condoms, sometimes not. In my book that's half-ass trying and definitely not a surprise especially as she's a medical professional who works with children. But I know she bends the truth sometimes, so I dropped it. I still almost yell every time my MIL mentions that since we didn't get pregnant within a month "il y a eu un problème" (there was a problem), she's a fucking retired NICU nurse and we were well under a year! So my time as the special daughter-in-law is over, and their due date is within a week of ours so we might not even win the title for first grandchild in DH's family. I'm happy for them though and it'll be great to have a future cousin living only 45 minutes away but I feel like everything changed so suddenly, I'm sure by the next Grad Check-In I'll be over it.

Good morning TTGP!
Last week I hit the milestone 24 weeks - V Day! Tomorrow I will be 25 weeks and finally started purchasing some stuff for LO. Over the weekend I got a few big ticket items - crib, dresser and crib mattress. I'll start my registry next weekend. I had a doctor's appointment last week and everything looked great. At my next appointment in a few weeks I'll get to do the fun GD test and TDAP shot. I'm still feeling pretty good, aside from a cold that my H gave me. Thanks H. Sorry no bump pic. I have been horrible at taking pictures.
Love seeing all the recent BFPs and continue to lurk like crazy.
@NotElsie - WELCOME!!!! I didn't realize you got your BFP!! So excited - congratulations!!!
@irishgrover - Cute nursery
AFM, I am craving a massive bowl of fruit with strawberries, kiwi, watermelon, honey dew, raspberries, blueberries, cantaloupe, grapes, and orange slices. Alas, these fruits are forbidden unless I eat them at a meager 1/2 cup at a time due to GD. But seriously, I would swim in (and devour) all the fruit in the world if I could right now. Ugh, it sucks. I don't even want cake or candy, I just want some fucking fruit
Thank God this is happening to me over the winter. I would be broken hearted if I was forced to sit out the summer fruit season since most fruits (aside from citrus) sort of suck over the winter anyway.
Otherwise, I'm fabulous. I feel like someone inflated a balloon in my abdomen and that's kind of what it looks like. I weighed myself this morning and lost a little more weight. I'm wondering where the hell I'm losing it because my belly just keeps getting bigger. Makes me hopeful for after giving birth. Maybe I'll be thinner than I was when I was TTC and then I can get back into my regular clothes quickly enough.
But I'm totally saving my maternity pants for the holidays and visits to the Golden Corral (yes, I am a bit of a hillbilly). They're gonna be my eatin' pants!!!
It's my last check-in as a pregnant person!!!!!!
I will be 39 weeks Friday and have a scheduled section at 9:00! It has been a long and hard journey to get to this point and I couldn't have done it without the support I received from this board during the 3 years trying to conceive and beyond! I can't believe I will be meeting this little man in 3 wake ups!
As always I am rooting for y'all!
@NotElsie Congrats you sneaky thing!
Now time to AW some pics! Including a comparison shot of 12w to 39w and some final nursery pics!

Team Purple!!!!
I'm 8w3d and counting down the days 'til my first ultrasound on Monday! When we were TTC, DH was always joking about getting me pregnant with twins or even triplets, and ever since I started getting morning sickness, he's been convinced that there's two of them in there. I guess we'll get our answer on that next week!
I'm always rooting for you ladies!
DH is ready to do a FET at 6 weeks PP and I still have not even taken a peak at my girly parts to make sure they didn't remove my labia or anything. So, yeah, that is not going to happen...but maybe I'll let him poke me at 8 weeks
I need to get to a computer to update my siggy and try to get a picture on this thing.
I love all the amazing updates I am seeing
Team Purple!!!!
I'm 29w4d today! I've been really tired due to lack of sleep. I'm normally a stomach sleeper and am now totally at the point where there is no way I can make it work anymore. Sleeping on my side is not so bad except it kills my back and I wake up in the middle of the night in pain. I have a snoogle but I can't get comfortable with it. I must not be using it right. I've used it twice and ended up kicking it off the bed in the middle of the night. I just toss and turn all night and it sucks but, I better get used to not getting sleep, right? Ha!
Other than that, the baby is going craaaazy in there. I feel kicks, rolls, vibrations all the time. I can actually see body parts moving across my stomach too. It's so bizarre. I love it though. We're still Team Green even thought 90% of everyone thinks it's a girl. I thought it was a girl for the first half of my pregnancy but now I don't have a feeling either way. I don't know!!! I love not knowing though, it pisses people off, haha!
I had my shower last weekend and it was beautiful. We got so many nice gifts. I have a work shower in January too so I'm excited about that.
That's about all I got for you gals and I'll leave you with a bump pic. Always rooting for you! XOXO
BFP: 6/4/14 EDD: 2/11/15
Hey TTGP! I'm still pregnant at 39w6d. Last week I was fingertip dilated. I have my next (hopefully last) OB appointment today at 1:00 so we'll see if I've progressed at all. We finally packed our hospital bags over the weekend and have them in the car ready to go. I'm still working and people are constantly asking me how I'm feeling and taking bets whether I'll show up the following day. But I'm closer to the hospital here at work and we have an OB and several nurses who work here so I figure I'm in good hands if something happens. :-) I'm planning to ask my doctor what happens if I'm not in labor by tomorrow, they keep saying they'd only let me go a couple days past my due date but we've not scheduled any sort of induction so hopefully I'll know more today. At the very least I should be having a baby sometime this week! And, finally, a picture taken today.

Hi there TTGP!
Congrats to the recent BFPs and the outside and soon to be outside babies!
AFM ~ I am 18w5d here and trucking right along. I have been feeling pretty good lately on the nausea front, but I am not brave enough to attempt to go off the Diclegis yet. Pregnancy insomnia and headaches are my new thing. I have also had a few instances of heartburn, but nothing crazy yet. Lightning boobs are now a thing too, which I am not loving. But I am feeling pretty consistent, daily, distinguishable kicks, which is very exciting. DH has even been able to feel them on the outside a couple of times.
As always, I am lurking and rooting for you all! And now for a bump pic!
Me: 25, DH: 28, Baby #1 Due: April 30, 2015

Still no bump but lots of bloat. I'm one of the lucky ones who escaped morning sickness so I just have to deal with nausea and bloat so far. I'd say the most annoying pay is not knowing what foods will make me nauseous until they are put in front of me. I have a bet going on who will gain more, me or Mr . DaBears since he's eating everything I pass on.
In Baby Bear news, we saw the heartbeat last week and let me tell you, it is the single coolest thing I have ever seen in my life. I most definitely cried like a little bitch. I can't wait to get a discernable ultrasound!
I love you guys so much and I am rooting for you!
I am suuuuuper bloated and can feel the start of a bump. I have gained more weight than I would like but oh well--first tri during the holidays? Bitch please. I have been eating alllll the food!! I am still nauseous a lot but the worst thing is how tired I am. I never believed it was possible to be this exhausted. I am catatonic when I get home these days. I am putting on the stupid Christmas musical at school and it's just so much work--ugh!!! If I weren't pregnant it wouldn't be such a big deal.
Anyway, I am going for my harmony test today. Other than that nothing to report! No bump yet so no pic. Love to TTGP as always!!!!

Good luck @FoxiePM and @SCSmith2011 ! Here's hoping to smooooooth deliveries
E will be 4 months old tomorrow she's doing amazing and is letting us STTN a couple times a week, which is sooo needed these days. She loves "talking," growling, Sophie and playing airplane. I can't believe how big she's getting. She was 14lbs last week! AFM I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow because we're pretty sure I have a little PPA, I'm hoping a small dose of something will get me back to my normal self. Rooting for more BFPs before the end of the year!
24.4 today! So happy to have hit Vday! Little boy is wiggling daily and loves to step on my bladder. I've been having some insomnia and wicked heartburn but tums works for me. My GD test is Friday so I'm trying to drink ALL the eggnog before then just incase I can't have it anymore. I'm also a bottomless pit and bring 3 dinners to work at night. Other than that, feeling great and can't wait for March to get here!
Congrats @BankerBSN!!!!

I missed the last couple Tuesday's. Baby boy is kicking my ass....lol. Baby Giovanni was born @ 6:02 pm on Sunday November 16th. He was 8 lbs, 12 oz. and was 21.5" long. My water had broken at 3:30 that morning. It was a terrible flood.....like "it only happens like that in the movies".
Anyways, little Gio loves to fight sleep. He eats like a little piggy and cries too much. He has stolen my heart though, and I can't seem to get enough of him. Even when he is trying my patience....lol.
Congrats on all the new BFP's and new babies!!!
