I can't believe I am almost to the 2nd trimester!!! Just 3 more days! Last night I had my son listen to the heartbeat, I know he doesn't know what it is, but the look on his face while he was listening to it was priceless. I am still "patiently" waiting my test results from the NIPT test I had last Wednesday. I really hope I get the answers sooner rather than later, I am so anxious.
QOTW: When I started this journey of IVF I only focused on having one healthy baby. After my son was born I immediately wanted more kids. I had 5 frozen embabies left and I wanted to have them all. After my second round my husband and I decided to transfer just one embryo again like the first one. Now that my son is almost two and I am pregnant, I'm second thinking about having six kids. LOL Maybe three, we'll see how two go. LOL

@TerraMae80 - if you don't find someone, I could do the the check in for the next 2 weeks, but it might be better to find someone who's not so far into first tri!
QOTW: I always thought I'd have 3 kids, as did my husband. We started late and had mild difficulty getting pregnant the first time (7 months and clomid) but we were still thinking we could fit 3 in. Then #2 took 19 months and IVF and it looked less likely. BUT, as fate would have it, we put in two and got two!
Hey, and thanks for offering to take over. I hope we can get someone to take it over that will be here for a bit. But I think if not, should I just keep coming back on Monday's to post? LOL

So so we are hammering out a contract to buy our first house. I'm crazy excited and nervous about the process and can't wait to finally have a home and begin working on a nursery!
Qotd: I've only ever wanted 1 kid, DH wants 2. I guess we'll see how this pregnancy goes. With such difficulty getting pregnant I likely won't go back on birth control so we will see what happens.
I am so happy for you and the new home!!!!

So, I completely thought I was already in the second trimester after hitting 13 weeks. Guess my RE just calculates it differently. oh well!
Strangely, I've felt worse the past few days than I did anytime during the 1st trimester (give or take a week or so). Nausea decided to butt its way back in and dizzy spells are outrageous.
Not much going on here other than that!
Update: Everything is fine. She had me come in to make sure the baby had a heartbeat, and it was 152. She's thinking the tissue probably came off my cervix. I just need to take it easy the next 3 days and stay off my feet as much as I can.
We we had our NT scan today, everything looked great although still have to combine results of the 2 blood tests. Baby has grown so much in 3 weeks!
I'm very excited to be joining you. A little background I have twin 5 year old girls from previous IF intervention. We've been trying to make them big sisters for about a year and a half through various attempts with IVF. We thought we were finally done at the end of this summer, but we were blindsided with a blighted ovum diagnosis at 7 weeks. So after another FET, just received my second set of betas and things are progressing and hoping for our rainbow baby come October 12th according to the calculator. Not really breathing a sigh of relief or celebrating due to our experiences this summer, but trying to be cautiously optimistic.
@katie121209 What a beautiful scan!!!!!!
@crcruz79 welcome and congratulations!!!
*All, we need a new leader to start the new week. I will be heading to the 2nd Tri board today. I wish you all the best of luck and can't wait to see you all over at the 2nd Tri board!!!!*
