I guess I go here now. I had beta #2 yesterday and it was 1055 so a doubling time of 42
hours. According to the RE I am 4w3d today and EDD is August 15. I
also had an ultrasound to check blood flow to my ute and the lining.
They did the blood flow scan laying and standing. A standing vag cam is
tons of fun, let me tell you. I'm feeling OK so far except for the
insomnia and PGAL brain. I go back next week to look for a sac and if
that is OK then I can stop the vaginal estrace but I have to stay on the
endometrium till the end of first tri (I hope).
Me: 37 DH: 45 BFP #1 3/19/14 EDD 11/29/14 MMC D&C 4/24/14 BFP #2 12/4/14 Beta #1 218 at 12dpo Beta #2 1055 at 16dpo Saw heartbeat 12/29. Please be a rainbow.
Afm, 25.4 weeks today! Where has the time gone? Little boy is wiggling like crazy and I'm loving every minute of it. We got our nursery furniture in but besides putting the boxes in the spare room, we haven't started the nursery yet. I find I get so easily winded these days.. If I eat too much I can't breathe. Lol. After Christmas we will start prenatal classes and my shower is in January.. Things are coming so fast!
@tlc35 Congrats! Yes, that test is the worst. I had to do it at 4w3d and while I was still on vaginal estrogen and I was dripping blue stuff everywhere when they made me stand up.
Alright, so I'm still pregnant. 15w3d today. I'm starting to feel flutters more often and baby still has a nice strong HB between 150-160, I listen to it every day. I actually feel really good, finally have my energy back and can stay up till 10 again. I'm taking advantage of it and getting a lot of stuff done around the house that was neglected in the 1st trimester. My boobs finally grew, went from a DD to a F. I swear my body is very slow to get the memo that I am pregnant. I still don't really feel pregnant in any way shape or form.
Here is a pic before my morning walk. I really think I was bigger a few weeks ago, I guess the bloating is finally going away.
35 weeks! At my appointment last week my blood pressure was elevated and my weight made a drastic jump. Blood work came back good and there was no protein in my urine so hopefully preeclampsia isn't the problem in the future. I've been getting killer migraines when my bp spikes and it takes everything out of me. Last week I was also having 5 contractions per hour for 2 days. OB said to come in if they were 6 or more. They have now settled down quite a bit.
OB also wasn't sure baby was head down as of the last appointment. I may have an ultrasound next week if he's still unsure. So crazy how close the end is!
I have an outside baby! Bruce "Michael" was born on 12/5 at 7:58 am via C-section. He was 9lbs 2oz.
He is absolutely worth every tear shed in the 3 years trying to get him.
I am feeling relatively good. During my section there was some scar tissue discovered on my bowels and that was removed. This added some recovery time. My milk still hadn't come in and he is having some major latching issues so I am pumping 6 times a day and giving him the little bit I get and formula. He is big and eats about 2 oz every 2 hours.
Congrats and FX for you @tlc35 ~ I think I missed your bfp.
Also congrats to @FoxiePM for your outside baby!
AFM, I am 19w5d today – which means I will hit the HALF WAY mark
on Thursday. Um…. When did that happen? Seems like getting to 14 weeks took
forever and time has just gone into hyper speed since then.
Still feeling pretty good on the nausea front and I really
need to kick myself in the ass to go off the diclegis – I am just a chicken. I
am still waiting for that 2nd trimester energy that everyone keeps
talking about. While I don’t feel completely useless like I did in the 1st
tri, I am still in bed by 9 on most nights. Definitely not energetic. LO is
VERY energetic though. Kicks are very consistent at this point and pretty
strong for being so early. I think he is attempting to receive his black belt
before he even comes out of the womb.
Nesting is definitely kicking in and the list of everything
I want to do in the next 4 months is constantly running through my head. Poor
DH is going to hate me by the time this is over. I did accomplish getting the
registries completed since we had some people wanting them before the holidays.
As much as a PITA that was, I am glad to have it done and out of the way. Now
to start tackling the house. Where is that 2nd trimester energy
again?
As always, I am lurking and rooting for you ladies!
@foxiepm - Congrats on your outside baby! He is adorable!
@DarcyHermione - Congrats on graduating to your OB! I'm glad things are going so well!
Hai lovely ladies!
I'm just floating along at 5w3d. I'm mostly tired with symptoms here and there, but I'm pretty sure I almost had MS this morning. I've been doing my best to keep my stomach settled at work today.
My first appt will be on Monday! It is supposed to be 7w, but since I know when I Oed it will be 6w2d. I know it may be too early to see anything, but I'm very hopeful.
I am on progesterone and estrace so I am praying my munchkin sticks.
Congratulations, @DarcyHermione!!!! Graduation day feels so, so good.
I'll admit, I'm kind of bummed that people don't notice I'm pregnant yet. I was at a work dinner on Sunday and one of my coworkers I didn't tell yet was overhearing a conversation I was having about feeling my baby move. He gave me a weird look and I said "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't tell you I was pregnant yet, did I?" And he was like "WHAT?!" I said "Yeah... 6 months along now." Which he found even more shocking because he can't tell.
Yeah, my flabby belly has always been round. Now it's round and hard which means I need special clothes without the benefit of looking cute and pregnant. Oh well, maybe by month 7 or 8 it'll look more obvious. Then I'll eat my words when old ladies at the grocery store rub my belly like a troll and say awkward things to me.
Whaddup TTGP?! Congrats @FoxiePM !! I cannot believe you have an outside baby now; I remember your BFP!
I will be 13 weeks tomorrow! My bump has started to show itself a little, but only to me haha. I have my NT scan on Thursday and should hopefully be getting my harmony results back by Friday! I am not nervous though; I am feeling pretty good and confident. I recovering from a stomach virus today but stupidly decided to come in for the last half of the day because I had a meeting scheduled with my principal to tell her about my pregnancy--and now she's not even available! I'm regretting coming in now. Anyway, not much exciting. Just chugging along.........

TTC #1 8/2012~Chronic Pelvic Pain Condition began 10/2012~Told I was crazy by many doctors until a good specialist DXed a labral tear and bone impingement in left hip 4/2013~Surgery on left hip: 5/31/13 SUCCESS!!! Pain flares to continue indefinitely (but mostly gone).
Resumed TTC 6/2013~Chronic stomach pain and distension: 8/2013~TTA 1/2014 Until Resolved ~7/2014: Trip to the Mayo Clinic--SUCCESS!! Finally on the road to getting better.
Resumed TTC 7/2014! Third time's the charm....8/2014 Visited the RE~DX: MFI/low morph~Straight to IVF with ICSI! 9/2014~Transferred 1 perfect beautiful 6AA blast with 10 to freeze!!!~10/8/2014: BFP!!!! EDD: 6/17/15 STICK LITTLE BEAN!!! IT'S A BOY!!!!!
I am 29w5d with my two munchkins! I can't believe how quickly time is moving along here. I had my second shower this past weekend and couldn't be more grateful for how generous our family and friends are, we have been thoroughly spoiled. We are working hard to get the nursery finished and get through our list of things to do around the house, since twins are known to show up early, we want to try and be as prepared as possible! I won't complain much here, but 3rd tri has been a tad rough thus far. I'm just trying to take it easy and listen to my body which is having trouble keeping up right now! I shall leave you with my ever growing bump!
Hi TTGP ladies!!! 15w4d over here, FTM. Just found out we are having a.... BOY! Hubby cried which was adorable. I am FINALLY not as sick but now sciatica is kicking my ass. No complaints though because I would rather sciatica than puking every 5 seconds.
Below is my cuddling little munchkin, and my mini bump from last week.
Always cheering for you ladies and of course lurking!
I'm 9w3d and I can barely believe that I'm almost a quarter of the way through my pregnancy! It seems like just the other day that I was temping, checking CM, and obsessively stalking my FF chart. I had my first ultrasound yesterday, and LO is measuring exactly as predicted by my O date. It was so exciting for me and DH to see the flicker of its little heart and to watch the tiny little arms and legs wiggling around on the screen.
As always, I'm rooting for you ladies! I love coming back to lurk seeing your BFP announcements!
Not much going on in my corner of the bump. I have an appointment tomorrow with a new OB since my may one was just a B. ) Other than that I'm just lurking in the shadows and leaving my now ginormous tits everywhere. Love you all and rooting for you always
TTGP since September 2013. All cycles were annovulatory due to Depo.
Hi ladies! 12w3d over here. I had my first MFM appointment this afternoon. It definitely wasn't the greatest appointment of my life. Squirt is sitting on my cervix which is already a little funneled & shortened. The doc didn't seem to concerned about things & thinks we'll be fine once I have my cercalge done next Friday. I, on the other hand, feel like the writing is on the wall & we're headed right back for another 2nd trimester loss. He didn't give me any restrictions & I was too upset to ask, so I'm putting myself on bed rest until I can speak with my OB. It's hard to have any sort of limitations right now because MH is on the road M-Th, but I feel like this is what I need to do.
The kid looks good at least. Still measuring exactly on track, hb looks good, & no physical signs that anything major is wrong.
Hi TTGP! I am 5 weeks and 1 day. I had 4 betas done and they all doubled nicely
12dpo 101
14dpo 322
16dpo 615
18dpo 1710
I am starting to feel gross so thats a good sign I hope. Pregnant after a loss brain sucks but I am trying to remain positive. I go in on Monday for an ultrasound and hopefully we will see a heartbeat an then I have another appointment Christmas Eve. If all looks good we will announce to family on Christmas. I am rooting for all of you ladies!
AFM, I'm 5w6d today. We had an ultrasound last week and I have one gestational sac right in the right spot! We go back again tomorrow and I'm reeeaaally hoping we can see a heartbeat.

I almost forgot it was Tuesday. Guys I have an outside baby! And he's totally awesome! Last Thursday morning my water broke as I was getting ready for work. We went to L&D but I was only 1cm dilated. They started pitocin a little while later while we were still in the triage area. It seemed like everyone was having a baby that day. Around 6:00pm we finally got a delivery room. It took me awhile to dilate more but I finally did and started pushing around 11:30. H was born at 1:47 am on 12/5. 6lb6oz and 20.5 inches long. He really is awesome. Totally chill. Nursing well and trying to put on weight (he lost a pound since he was born).
TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38 Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

Thanks everyone! My OB called me this morning. He spoke with the MFM & they both agree that things are fine. It doesn't make me feel much better, but I suppose I need to trust them, they're both extremely well rated doctors. I go back next Wed for pre-OP for the cerclage. It's gonna be a long week.
Re: Grad Check-In
