If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?
Re: Tuesday Ticker Change
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you? 17 weeks/onion
How are you feeling? Just tired still...I think my body is trying to fight off DS's cold
Favorite moment of the week? Picking DS up after he spent the night at my parents' house yesterday. He was so excited! Love seeing that face.
Least favorite moment of the week? Going to work
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones? About the same...just still tired.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests? Actually good now. Now if LO would start moving around so I can feel him/her, that would be great!
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to? a/s on 2/3
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be? I would have a "mommy day." I would have DH take DS to daycare. I would sleep in and then eat a yummy breakfast in my pj's. Then, I'd go get a massage and go shopping. I would come home to take a nap and then read for a bit. Then I'd get dinner started and pick up my little man early and enjoy our evening.

Hey Folks,
This my first post on PGAL. I've been lurking for a couple of weeks and usually post on LGBTParenting. I posted last week on the PGAL check-in on Sept 2015.
If you could add my partner @Manada and me to the check-in that would be great. We're due Sept. 8.
A brief history: Manada has diminished ovarian reserve and I have stage IV endo and had both tubes out. After 7 unsuccessful IUIs with M, we moved on to do partner IVF. We used my eggs and M's uterus. We had 3 day 3 embryos and transferred two to M back in Feb 2014. We got pregnant with twins! On June 18 at 21 weeks, we lost our twin daughters Tavin and Casey due to pre-mature rupture of membranes caused by infection and/or incompetent cervix.
We transferred our third day 3 embryo to my uterus on Dec. 19 and are now 7 weeks along. We had our first ultrasound last week, which confirmed a singleton pregnancy in the uterus measuring on track with a good heartbeat.
I'm so glad this board exists!
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
7 weeks. Blueberry!
How are you feeling?
Feeling mostly okay. PGAL brain hasn't been too bad the last few days and I'm grateful for that.
Favorite moment of the week?
Seeing the heartbeat last Weds!
Least favorite moment of the week?
Maybe my huge hormonal meltdown on Sunday night about a misunderstanding over who was taking the dog out.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
Symptoms are relatively mild which I'm grateful for (although last week before our ultrasound they were even milder and I was freaking out).
My "morning sickness" tends to be "evening sickness" and not too bad (no vomiting) especially if I'm good about eating enough.
I'm feeling pretty exhausted by late afternoon evening and have been refusing to make evening social plans, as a result.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
PGAL brain is treating me okay today. Who knows about tomorrow...
The ultrasound last week showed a bleed in the uterus. So far I haven't had any external bleeding and at my RE's advice, I have stopped taking baby aspirin (which I was taking because I'm on estrace) and I have been continuing my self-prescribed pelvic rest. But T&P's for that to clear up on its own would be much appreciated.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
We will have our 8 week ultrasound next week at the RE clinic, probably on Weds.
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?
I'm so tired and low energy, that I'm tempted to say nap. At another point in my life, I might do a fun-filled day of morning at a relatively empty but awesome amusement park, afternoon on a beach, evening playing board games with friends.
We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.
Our IUIs
with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.
Our IVFs:
IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response
IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
1st ultrasound (3/6 6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm.
***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

~*~*Everyone Welcome*~*~
How far along are you? What fruit/veggie are you?
39 weeks, watermelon
How are you feeling?
Ready to have this baby!
Favorite moment of the week?
Nothing that really stands out, but I'm loving the cuddles with my cats.
Least favorite moment of the week?
My SIL's insensitive comments, she just doesn't get it. My nephew had his 1st birthday party over the weekend and we were just hanging out after. She was talking about how her dad would tease her about never having kids (she was accidentally KU by her BF, now husband) and that she was finally able to give them what they wanted and got to have the 1st grandchild. I'm probably being overly sensitive, but she really irritates me with those types of comments.
How are your symptoms? Getting better? Worse? Any new ones?
I'm not sleeping well at all.
How is PGAL brain treating you? Any T&P requests?
I'm ok. I've been paying extra close attention to kick counts.
Any upcoming appointments or milestones you're looking forward to?
I have a regular OB appointment tomorrow. And due date next week!
~*~*~*GTKY question:~*~*~*
If you could choose to do anything for a day, what would it be?
Right now, relaxing on a beach.
**FYI, I'm moving on to the other board. As of now, I'm still straddling both boards to offer support, but I won't be around here as much.
BFP #2: EDD 9/3/13~~Slow HB at 1st U/S~~MMC -Loss on 2/13/13
mrskblack11 You're half way there! I'm glad the doppler is doing its job to keep PGAL brain in check.
healz413 and @mananda Congrats and welcome! FX the next u/s shows that you've stopped bleeding.
