Re: ***1st tri check in 8-17*** new leader needed
I wish I could stop saying "if" we have this baby...."worst case I know we can resell the crib for $20"....dang that IF brain. I hate you.

QOTW: I told so many ppl about the IF treatments that it's hard to try to avoid the "did it work" or "am I pregnant" questions . So more ppl already know than I had wished. But my next ultrasound isn't until 4 more weeks when I'll be 14 weeks pregnant, so I think I'll "officially" announce it to everyone else (like FB) at that time. But I feel like everyone probably knows already! lol
We have told our parents (regrettably, as talking to them about it gives me anxiety). We haven't told anyone else. Anyone, even extended family. We might do an announcement in October after the anatomy scan. I haven't decided yet. Or we may just show up to Christmas looking like a tank. We'll see how I feel.
We earned this. We worked hard for this. Part of me wants to lock it away, and keep it just to ourselves. We suffered so long alone with no one understanding the pain we were in, why should the same people get to share in our joy?

UPDATE: We are having another set of TWINS!!!!!!!!!!
Genetics says both BOYS this time
Both with strong heartbeats!!!!!!!
We are in shock!!!!!
QOTW: Almost no one knows about our IF struggles especially since it is mostly due to DH's dx.
So far we have told a lot of people and made a Facebook announcement at 12 weeks. My partner couldn't wait any longer.
QOTW: We only told our family and a few friends so far. These are the same people who knew we were doing IVF. We will wait until after 12 weeks to share with everyone.
Me : 32 with DOR
History:
I have been struggling with infertility for the last 4 years and have done a lot of treatment and had 2 losses. I took a while off and after my husband and I moved we decided to start trying again, saw a new Dr and had an IUI done on July 28th and got my BFP 2 weeks later!!!!! I had my beta the following day and another blood test on Monday. So far my levels look really good and everything is going smoothly. I have calculated me EDD as being 17 April but I have not yet had my first US. My first US is on Friday and I know it is going to be a little soon and we are not gonna see a ton but I am so excited.
So happy to be a part of this group and I can't wait to spend the next 9 months with you ladies!!!!!
I am expecting twins after transferring two embryo with FET3. Due date is 4/2/16. I am so excited it. But I am tired of being exhaust everyday.
@efhoping2010 Wow second set of twins? Congratulations!!!
Any advice will be appreciate I am sort of freaking out with one set of twins.
