Re: ***Second Trimester Check in 5/19***
Sorry to hear about your grandma @Justone13!
I am 25 weeks and 5 days today. My next appointment is June 1st and I will have my glucose test then. Everything is going well except I have been having a lot of Braxton hicks and they actually hurt! I don't remember this at all with DS.
QOTW: I am loving any kind of iced latte or frappucino (decaf). Also ice cream or ice cream sandwiches are a new addiction

November 6th 1st Appointment with RE: diagnosed with severe MFI
Testing to try to determine a cause & possible treatment for MFI
CD 3 blood work for me. RE does not want to repeat my HSG/lap at this point,
but may want to before moving forward with any fertility treatments.
After seeing the uro, DH is currently taking lots of supplements and clomid to try to boost his count. We will have a repeat SA in February to see if it works.
Follow up SA numbers are: Count= 4 million, Motility= 40%, Morphology= 1%
Uro wants us to have another follow up SA 5/9 to see if we see further improvement than we are back to the RE to make a game plan.

IUI #1 6/28 clomid + ovidrel, post wash count 3 million total sperm= BFN

*****Everyone is welcome******
I'm am 21 weeks along. I have no appointments this week. It's nice to have some time off. Next week I have to go into get another US to check up on my Subcutaneous hemorrhaging. It's left over from a bleed I had around 8 weeks.
My favorite thing papering activity is sipping iced coffee or a chai late. Soon I'm going to start brewing my own iced coffee using decaf beans.
Chugging along with the babies. I'm getting BIG. I look ~8 months. It's going to be a long summer. I miss my normal size bladder and my pants are already getting tight! But I wouldn't trade the feeling of them kicking for anything
QOTW- we're a cold-loving bunch! I'm treating myself with 7eleven slurpees and baskin Robbins PB choc ice cream. And sonic slushes. Really- anything cold. I'm going to get a pedicure after we finish moving this weekend.

Sorry to hear of your loss @Justone13. Wishing you and your family comfort.
Had a doc appointment on Monday and all was well. Nothing more scheduled until 6/24 when we have our 20 week us. It kinda feels like the docs are looking at us like space aliens because we opted out of genetic testing. Is this totally abnormal??
QOTW: Pampering myself these days involves doing absolutely nothing! Between work and being a full time grad student, I enjoy the hell out of my down time.
I'm on preterm labor precautions (aka "take it easy" orders but not true bedrest except for 4 days before my scan). We will discuss 17-P injections at my appointment on 6/2.
QOTW: bath time with a candle and some soda, juice, or (my favorite) sparkling cider! I have a corner soaker tub, and I put a candle on one corner, fill it up with hot (not too hot) water, and take a nice soak. I want to get a pedicure this week too.
