*1st Tri Check-In Week of March 14th!*
Piperella
member
This is a weekly check-in for those in their 1st trimester: weeks 1 through the end of week 13. I know we've all gone through a lot to get to this point so congratulations and best of luck to all of you over the next several months!
Please post a little about yourself, your EDD (if it’s not listed below), any upcoming appointments, symptoms, etc. Feel free to also share your IF journey, I know many of us can relate.
QOTW: Although we have had some brick walls blocking our way to our path to having children, we can now all celebrate the fact that we have made it over the wall! However, some of us may already be parents, of the fur, scale, or feather variety. Tell us about your furry family members and share a story about your fur children. Include pictures if you wish!
ETA: I am currently at a work conference and vacation at WDW, so I may be a bit delayed at adding new members to the list!
Congrats to all of the Mommies & Daddies to be:

Re: *1st Tri Check-In Week of March 14th!*
QOTW: I still don't feel I've made it over the wall, but I do have a fur baby to keep me company. She loves her snuggles, and doesn't mind when I choose to use the heating pad after my PIO injection and then get up from the couch.

FET cycle #3 Transfer July 28th 2016, Triplets born healthy on February 26th 2017 at 33w1d!
Hello all, I had my first U/S today. I cannot believe they did an U/S this early (not even 5w yet). My last beta on Sunday was 2500 and they wanted me to come back this morning and have my U/S. Doctor was able to see a small sac and he said that it is in the right place and everything looks good so far. So we decided to tell our parents, I wanted to wait till we hear the heartbeat but could not wait anymore. We sent them the U/S image saying `Hey Grandma and Grandpa` on it. They were ecstatic ! Especially moms
QOTW: We do not have any pets
QOTW: we have 2 dogs....a Yorkie (Bella) and a goldendoodle (beau). Bella is going to be 9 and beau will be 6, and let me tell you, the little one runs the house lol we are slightly nervous about Bella is going to be with the baby, because the only encounters she has had with babies have been questionable lol she is very jealous and protective of me. Hopefully she will figure it out!!!

I also found out last night that my very good friend (who has three kids naturally, one without trying) is having another baby. I'm torn between being excited about being pregnant together, and this other emotion I can't name, but seems to be manifesting as, "seriously? Really?" I am very happy for her, I've just waited so long for this and tried out hard and im overly emotional. Here I am terrified that something will go wrong with this pregnancy, everyday that I don't feel completely nauseated or like shit I'm worried something is wrong. Here is fertile Myrtle here, so nonchalant about it all. I'm rambling, I need to stop.
QOTW: I have three dogs, my first babies. Ellie is a lab/pit mix and is the doggie love of my life. She's 10 and has been with me longer that my husband. Calvin is our 7 year old dalmatian and Timber is a 7 year old min pin mix. Right now I'm working on retraining them about personal space and how to go to their bed and stay there when told.
As for your friend, I totally understand the "seriously really" feeling you're having. Like it's YOUR turn to be the pregnant one, she already had three turns! I'm thankful that, in my family, there is realistically only one other person who could be pregnant anytime soon, and she does IVF too so I won't feel too bad if we're pregnant at the same time.

Love love love all the fur baby pics! @kennelchick your Ellie and my Brooklyn look like sisters!
I have 2 fur babies on Earth and one waiting for me at the rainbow bridge. Mya is my 11 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever, she is a mama's girl and has been with my longer than DH. Brooklyn is our 5 year old yellow lab/pit mix, we got her together about a year after we started dating. She's pretty, but none too bright! Both girls are rescues and I love them to pieces. My Bailey boy was my German Shephard who was with me for 10 years. He made the move from NY to NC with me after college, and he was the only sole I knew for awhile after we moved. I lost him 4 years ago this month, but we will be reunited someday!!
P.S. I changed my sn for privacy reasons.

For my fur babies... I have Daphe (Calico) Jem (Gray and White) and Hailey (Tuxedo). Daphne is my shadow and Hailey as well. Daphne is my Craigslist cat who I rescued after Hurrican Sandy and is more like a dog! Hailey was because a friend found her outside and I couldn't let that face go to a shelter! Jem has anxiety but she's been coming out a lot more! I took her from my sister because she was afraid of the dog and I didn't want to see her back in the shelter!

I love all the furbabies and reading about how you all are doing.
Ive had a tough day yesterday, but happy to be close to my family. They are taking good care of me.
I do have a furbaby, Nusse the cat, whom I found on the internet two years ago. I thought Mr Rabbit could use a friend and thought he wouldn't hump a cat...boy was I wrong!
Unfortunately he (the rabbit) passed away this summer after being my first pet in Norway and being with me 8,5 years!
The cat loves to cuddle, and the closer to the face the better

I had my second RE u/s this morning. LO measured at 6w4d and had a visible heartbeat of 109! Yay!! I also took the plunge and went to my regular hospital for pregnancy confirmation for them and to get early pregnancy blood work done. (My insurance, Kaiser, covers nothing for infertility so I've been going through an outside clinic that has no affiliation with Kaiser, so Kaiser has no idea what I've been doing) I got my first OB appointment scheduled for April 4th!
I hope everyone else had a lovely week and has some fun plans this weekend, except of course for the bleeding from @tvh1982. That is never lovely.
