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...

Oh and I'm a major Harry Potter Nerd
20w6d
Saw regular OB today. Belly measures 33w. Discussed that if no PTL, will have scheduled C at 34/35w.
Today was day 3 off Zofran pump and I woke up barfing, nausea all day so far. It's back on and I really want to cry.
Having issues with MIL being overbearing and intrusive. DH tries to set some boundaries and now I am "shutting her out". Caused a big stink now. I am stressed out enough planning and researching needs that I don't need someone pointing out what they think I have forgotten or questioning me constantly.
@designer303 peace and quiet sounds wonderful- no more contractions I assume!?!

I'm sorry things went the way they did with your MIL I got into a massive fight with my MIL the week before I delivered. I will never understand people sometimes.

2. had OB appt/US friday, looks good!
3. still nauseous, although I'm able to eat better so that is good.
4. Work! I'm getting stressed and dealing with employees are hard..
2. Any medical updates (appointments, ultrasounds, tests/results, etc.)? Spent the day in the hospital for some major cramping which turned out to be related to a bacterial infection... So I am on ABX for some time but baby is doing great. A/S is TOMORROW! Hoping for some good pics. We haven't gotten any good U/S pics in a while.
3. How are you feeling lately? Ok, the cramping is annoying but bearable so I can't really complain. Other than that it seems like the acid reflux is beginning. yay.
4. QOTW: I don't know about you ladies, but the hormones here are raging. Who/what is irritating you this week? Vent! I am dealing with some personal family shit and my emotion of choice has been anger. I don't think I am hormonal per se, but my husband says I am very snippy? So maybe it is a combination of hormones + stress. I am pretty pissed that my skin seemed like it was FINALLY clearing up and now I have a fresh break out all over my effing cheeks which I am sure is probably from the ABX now. The ridiculous acne has probably been my biggest pregnancy complaint. I get giant zits that are painful. Whatever. I guess I'll take the zits over morning sickness.

2. We saw the perinatologist Tuesday, and it went great. We're doing NIPS even though we had the little bean PGD-AS tested. It's covered by our insurance and another reason to feel good. I have a regular OB appt tomorrow.
3. How are you feeling lately? Sleeping is officially getting uncomfortable, and I feel full all the time. The fatigue is subsiding (yay!), and I'm loving my growing belly.
4. I can't stand those customer phone systems where they make you put in your account number or social or something and then it doesn't transfer over to the associate. So frustrating!
