  Hi Ladies - 

  
  

  38+4 here.  Not much to report other than extremely exhausted these days and worsening pelvic pain - which apparently is all normal / par for the course.  Just a waiting game now for this little one - I think he/she plans on staying cozy inside for as long as possible - but clearly wants more real estate judging by his/her kicks/stretches, etc

  
  

  Hope you are all doing well and staying warm!

  9 weeks today. The nausea was kicking my butt this weekend, but the last couple of days have been much better. Though, that starts to worry me.... Hope everything is progressing OK. I can't wait for my next doctor's appointment in 2 weeks. I am going to opt for the non-invasive prenatal testing (the new blood test), which is new and awesome and covered by insurance for us AMA ladies. Did anyone else have that? It'll tell us the sex too, which is exciting.

  QOTD: I'd have to say Friday night football games. I was a cheerleader, and it was such a good time and always a big social event.

  30 weeks as of yesterday! I'm 3/4 of the way there! I had a horrible bout of food poisoning Saturday and ended up in the ER Sunday morning. Nothing that an IV and anti-nausea medication couldn't fix but it left me down for the count. The good thing about that whole experience was that after the ER discharged me, they moved me to Labor and Delivery for fetal monitoring for a bit. So we got to take one of the birthing suites for a test drive. That was pretty neat and was a surreal experience for H. 

  
  

  Here's a belly pic of me at 30 weeks!

  Hi all  Hope you are well.

  
  

  I have less than 2 months to go now.  I had kind of settled into being pregnant and am not sure I'm ready for the birth transition.  I've started to experience some of the third trimester discomforts.  I'm not sure how to accommodate LO's growth in my torso.  He's already pressing up against my lungs, stomach, and bladder, making my organs not function as well.  I also have some upper back tightness due to leaning back to make up for the additional weight up front.  All else is well, I'm happy to say.

  
  

  QOTW:  I liked going to art class which was fun and relaxing.

  Oh and MH now likes McKenzie!! Haha we shall see. Think about you ladies often.
  
  @KateLouise‌ big congrats!!!

  @BeckyP005 you are getting so close!
  
  I am doing pretty well.  Still the usual 1st tri nausea and exhaustion but I'm getting by OK.  I ordered a doppler for home and hopefully will have it by next week.  My OB wants to go by my LMP which makes me 10 weeks though I know I'm a few days shy of that by ovulation.
  QOTW: We went on a fun field trip to the city I live in now when I was in 8th grade. It was just a fun day.

  A bit nauseous but still don't throw up. Very gassy and bloated and it's hard to know what to eat. But totally grossed out by sweets, chocolate does nothing for me which is insane. I don't even want to eat the ice cream that's been in the freezer over 2 weeks. So yea. Bring on the salt.
  Going to the RE for final visit I hope this Friday. HB was 114 last Friday.
  We met a midwife group last night I really liked them. Meeting another doctor tomorrow I think she's OB or maybe midwife hard to tell. A little sketchy on the receptionist side but I'm not judging bc they were recommended.
  I am so happy to be here in this thread. Told a friend yesterday. She knew my journey I had to tell her. Glad I did. Nice to have the support.
  Good luck everyone!

  July 2014 - RE Visit #1: Eggs look good, Endometrioma on R ovary, HSG showed blocked R tube close to ovary. DH SA normal 

  DX: Endometriosis probably the IF cause and gunking up tubes.  Since egg reserve is high, RE says I can wait a couple months and then get laproscopic surgery to remove endo & clear tube.  If that doesn't help then move to IVF. 

  Dec 2014 - Saw new RE - does not recommend surgery on tube as it isn't likely to help.  Doubts I have endometriosis.  My endometrioma shrunk to neglible size (yay!) 

  Seriously considering IVF in March/April

  Hey guys not sure if graduate also includes momma's that have had babies:) here I am though! Lol..
  Iliana gained back to her birth weight . They were worried because she dropped to 4.9 and has little
  body fat. Feeding every 2 hrs around the clock( we were zombies. My H really stepped up) she went
  to 5.3 at her 2 week check up. We are now doing blood tests every week to see if she has low thyroid.
  Her tsh is slightly abnormal but t4 is normal. She goes today for another draw. Praying it's normal or
  normal for her and won't need synthroid med. thoughts and prayers! Here are some more pics! She
  has light brown hair but it doesn't show up in pics that well. Haha

  @Samuelismomma you are definitely included in the grad thread. She is just too precious!!!! I will pray that her tests come back good. My nephew who was born at 31 weeks has more than doubled his birthweight by his true due date. He's a little porker now at 8 1/2 lbs.
  let us know how Iliana is doing next week.

  @Radiantly- yay for graduations!  I still can't believe you are there not here... so excited and happy for you! 

  me:41   dh:43 

  Off Mirena Nov 2013, On Nuvaring end of Jan, Back off Sept 2014.  Never ending cycle starting end of Sept... 

  11/14 Provera failed... cycle continues 

  12/14 High FSH (57 "midcycle")  OBGYN had no clue... about anything 

  01/15 More lab results coming back from RE. U/S showed small (1")cyst on left ovary, thin lining, and couldn't locate right ovary so  possibly straight to DE and IVF 

  
  

  Occassionally mess with the chart below to see "what if" and learn (not to make it pretty but because FF stays drunk with me).

  @samuelismomma what a precious little munchkin she is! 
  
  @Radiantly, I have been thinking of you, so glad to hear the good news! 

  I am not sure how to say this without getting a "solicitation" warning so I guess I just say that I am not longer active on THIS site.

  @Samuelismomma - What a cutie, you have!
  

  
  

  21 weeks with a baby boy and doing well!

  No more morning sickness or severe nausea. I get the occasional post-eating nausea (feel sick after eating), but it isn't that bad.

  I do have a kicker, in there! Loves to kick and jab and let me know here is there. I love it!

  Tomorrow I meet the VBAC doctor for the first time (new practice switch over), so fingers crossed all goes well.

  
  

  My fondest memory from school was when I was in grade school. I used to walk home in the snow with friends and go build snow igloos and castles, then have a snack at home and play Atari (I'm old) with my brother. Good times, for sure.
