    Thanks for your patience as for some reason the copy and paste didn't work from my phone this week, but looks like the check in is up now!

    Here's my update:
    We decided since insurance should cover most of the Mat21 bw test to go for it, blood is being drawn tomorrow.  Can't wait to get the results back and then the following week to see the baby via U/S for the NT scan.

    QOTW: I haven't bought anything yet. I will probably wait until we find out the gender.  If this baby is our 3rd boy we don't need a thing, but if its a girl I might have to head to Target and at least buy some pink jammies! I did dream up the nursery plan for a little girl; but another boy would be a BLAST!  I just say HEALTHY is all that matters.

    QOTW: have you bought anything for this baby(babies) or are you scared to jinx the pregnancy? I haven't purchased anything. I don't believe you can jinx a pregnancy, but we're holding off on purchases until we actually need to start preparing. I think I will put diapers on SS in a month or two.

  • I don't believe in jinxing either, if something is going to go south, it will regardless of what I do or buy.

    We still have DDs crib, and have been thinking about now that there is two this time are we going to try and find another discontinued crib from five-six years ago or buy two new cribs. Well, I came across the exact same crib on Amazon for half what we paid for the first one...so we bought it. Didn't want to miss out on that deal. :/ and a video monitor on prime days, but otherwise we haven't bought anything.

  • Nothing new happening for me, my next appt isn't for another 2 weeks.

    QOTW: I haven't bought anything yet. At this point I think I'd be buying things more because "they look cute" than because I'll actually need them. ;) I'd rather save as much as I can for after the baby is actually here & I'm not working.

    NIPT all clear & it's a Girl!

  • I am doing ok. No further bleeding or spotting. I have an ultrasound for NT and to check on that SCH on the 11th. So, right now the only thing new is a lot of gas and bloating. Oh, and my pants have become very uncomfortable. I did the pandora bloodwork but I suspect it will not be helpful because I read after that it is not indicated for multiples. Guess we will see on that.


    QOTW: I was trying to hold out due to fear of the jinx, however I saw two adorable baby fedoras that were on the clearance rack and had to get them.
  • Congrats to all! Can't wait we hit 11 weeks this Wed. Had a visit with the dr last week and all went so well. I'm almost not believing it all! Our bean has caught up growing and was a little dancing worm for the ultrasound.

    QOTW: funny you should ask that. I was at Kolh's and bought 5 outfits. I thought the hubby would be mad but his heart melted. Makes me wish Feb was already here!
  • Hello, I would nervously like to join.

    We had a FET of two CCS normal blasts on 7/23/15.

    I had a positive FRER on the evening of 3dp5dt.

    Beta 1= 408 on 9dp5dt

    Beta 2= 1014 on 11dp5dt

    My first u/s will be 8/20.

    Crampy still and some spotting, please see history as to why this makes me so apprehensive, lots of previous IVF failures.

    I am so excited to be here, finally!!!!!!!!!!


    QOTW: Too nervous to even think about anything before u/s.

    @efhoping2010 Deep breaths and take your meds this could be your Little fighter. Good luck and fingers crossed
  • @efhoping2010 I thought my transfer didn't work due to cramping that felt like the start of a very bad period and was floored by the positive beta. The cramps stayed for weeks. Don't count yourself out.
  • hopes4baby, I needed that :)

  • Hi all, I will be 5 weeks tomorrow and my first U/S is scheduled for the 14th! I did IVF with PGS testing and implanted a frozen embryo on July 22nd.
  • Hello all!! I am both nervous and excited to post here. I will be 4 weeks tomorrow. Today was my first beta. It was only 13, but it's still positive! I go back Saturday to make sure the number is going up (I have huge faith that it is!!) then I will have my first US a week from then. I am so excited!! This was my second round of IUI with letrozole and I have a blocked right tube.
  • Well my sch I hope is going away. No more fresh red blood, but the other day I cramped a lot and old dark brownish rusty blood came out. Feeling ok now though :). First OB appt is next week- I'll be 9 weeks tomorrow.

    QOTW: I only bought some belly bands and a pair of maternity pants for myself (even though I don't need them yet) and I was wary about even buying those yet! But my mom gave me a burping cloth and matching bigger cloth, she said to throw over a shopping cart or something? I have no idea lol. And she's already knitting a baby blanket in neutral colors. It's her first grandchild so she's really excited!
