Re: *1st Tri Check-In* Week of 5/23
QOTW: We're hoping for a boy, but my intuition tells me it's a girl lol. If you believe in superstition... Baby did have a high HR of 176 last time it was checked. Ultimately, we'll be super happy either way
GL to all those with appointments this week!

We have our 3rd and final u/s with our RE tomorrow morning and then its back to the real world with a regular OB!
Sawyer Ryanne due Jan 1, 2017
QOTW: We already know what we are having since we did PGS testing. Is a boy. We are excited.
I honestly could care less about the sex of the baby as long as it's healthy. I've had a few friends have unhealthy babies so I really don't wan to go through that.
QOTW: There is no doubt in my mind that I am having a boy. I will honestly be shocked if it's a girl.
TTC #2 starting 9/2019
BFP 7/13/2020!
Due 3/18/2021
TTC #1 since 2/2015
Diagnosis: Unexplained Infertility 9/2015
Moving to IVF with ICSI and PGS 5/2016-6/2016 Just kidding, BFP 4/4/2016!
Spencer Elliott born 12/7/2016
Had my first obgyn appt this morning, I like her a lot and I like the hospital where I'll be delivering in. Ultrasound was wonderful, saw and heard ❤ beat.
QOTW: we are hoping for a girl but will be happy either way.
DE IVF #1 March 2016 - BFP
QOTW: We did PGS and we had them tell us @ our last appointment... we're having a boy! We would have been happy either way. Side note, I kind of hate when people ask if you have a preference of what you're having and that you can't just say a healthy baby. I feel like with all that we've gone through just to get pregnant, saying we just want a healthy baby is absolutely a preference.
Joyzie77- I keep crackers by my bed and have a few right when I wake up. I also bought these little candies called Preggie Pops that I like better than the ginger candies since i didn't like ginger to begin with. They seem to help keep the edge off. I also have a Relief Band that my SIL gave me. You wear it on your non-dominent hand and it sends little electric currents that block the signal from your brain telling your stomach its nauseous. I wore it on our cruise last week and it worked like a charm. I think they are about $80 though.

Hello! I hope you don't mind if I jump in here! I just got confirmation with a second beta yesterday, so tomorrow we will be 5 weeks along. So crazy to think about!
Our EDD is 1/27/2017, but with how high my betas were (988 and 1648) I'm wondering if our embaby twinned on us! I guess we'll wait and see! My next blood draw is Tuesday the 31st and my 7-week U/S will likely be on June10th. I've been feeling nauseated for about a week, which I suppose could just be the meds, and I also continue to have slight cramping off and on.
We don't know if we are having a boy or a girl. Even though we did PGS testing, our RE chooses not to request the gender from the lab. We have been debating about asking for the gender now, but we'll probably just wait until the U/S can tell us.
DH and I have been trying to conceive since April 2013. Yesterday was our 4th anniversary and I got to surprise him with our BFP.

Hello everyone! Tomorrow will mark 6 weeks! Our EDD is 1/23/16
As far as symptoms, I went a couple days feeling like I couldn't get full, I was always hungry. Now that I've got a pretty good meal plan going(eating small, nutritious and healthy portions every few hours) that has gone away. Other than that I don't feel any nausea, not a lot of fatigue, not that I can tell is from pregnancy yet(I just started a new summer workshift, earlier hours and longer days).
The only symptom I really have is mild cramping, twinges, and back aches. A lot of my cramps happen on the left side, however I have almost always ovulated from my left ovary, so I wonder if it's just more sensitive or I may have a cyst?
We'll see at my first appointment, June 10th!

@dragonfaerie you should know how many by 7 weeks. I think people say it's possible one is "hiding" behind the other, but I'm not sure how common that is. I had a blood flow ultrasound at 4w5d and saw one sac (RE wasn't expecting to see a sac at all, and I'm not sure why I had a blood flow ultrasound, which was the true purpose of the US). My RE told me to expect to see one or two more the next week at 5w5d, and we'd know the max number then. He was shocked we are only having 1. My beta was 1075 at 16dpo (timed with trigger shot) and I think 3105 at 19dpo (my memory is fading). He gave us a 60% chance of twins, 25% chance of triplets or quads (much more likely triplets) and 15% chance of a singleton.
ETA: we had 3 or 4 mature eggs release with injects (gonal-f)
