Re: ***2IF Grad Check-in 8/17***
1. 17w 3d
2. Just sitting here waiting for the 31st! Big day the 31st- gender reveal and a cervical length/ incompetence check!
3. I have no second tri glow or energy. In addition I started having contractions the end of last week. They are sporadic(1-2 a day) and therefore Doc says I'm ok to stay home unless they become more regular. The only good news I have is that I am definitely feeling LO moving around, which helps calm me some. Now I just have to stop freaking about the PTL starting before I even hit viability.
4. This is hard, I'm just going to go with what popped into my mind first. Me - Rachel McAdams or Emma Watson, but I'm just not that cool. SO- Maybe Bradley Cooper. IDK 8-}
TTC#1 May 2009- July 2010 on our own with no luck
Started with RE in August 2010, dx with unexplained IF and then finally our 3rd IUI cycle using Follistim and Trigger resulted in our wonderful little man. Born 12/2/11
TTC#2 Never really prevented, but were careful early on as Dr. reccomended
Surprise BFP 12/16/13, started progesterone immediately as first numbers came back low, but betas were good. Progesterone wasnt enough. Natural MC 12/24/13.
Back with RE as of January 2014...
5/27/14- Chemical Pregnancy
April 2015 IVF#1

Oh and I'm a major Harry Potter Nerd
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Appt on Weds
3. How are you feeling lately? My boobs have started hurting again the last few days, but honestly I do not feel pregnant at all. I keep saying to myself "Am I REALLY pregnant?" I can't believe I'll be 4 months in a couple days. Really nuts.
4. QOTW: For fun! A movie is being made about your life- which actress would you choose to play your role and why? (and for even more fun, which actor is your SO?) Idk... Who is fat and hates their husband? Roseanne?

4. QOTW: For fun! A movie is being made about your life- which actress would you choose to play your role and why? (and for even more fun, which actor is your SO?). Lol. I don't even know.
Appointment next Monday, maybe anatomy scan? MFM the following week.
Massively improved on the HG- weaning down zofran pump and gaining weight. (My start weight was a little skewed I think, I gained a good 10lb every treatment cycle, plus depression). Mostly still taking it easy, I get tired very quickly.
QOTW: alright, so I can't come up with an actress either. Though my SO would be Eric Dane (apparently from greys anatomy, but I didn't watch that.) I am watching him in The Last Ship and I adore a man in uniform. DH has similar salt/pepper hair and cut.
