I'm stealing this idea from the April/May ladies because I like it so much
The June/July group has been so supportive of each other, I thought it would be great to stay connected through our pregnancies now that we got our BFPs!
As a refresher for everyone, feel free to post the following:
1. How you got here (IVF/FET/IUI)
2. Estimated due date
3. Anything else you want to add
@kfras @unicornsplease @chicandbubbly @freudianmamma @mr&mrs.d and I know I'm forgetting a lot of people!
Re: June/July IF success group
EDD is March 8, but I should have a better idea next week after my first ultrasound
so excited to stay connected with everyone!

Tomorrow is my second beta. I am nervous!!! I hope the level is what they want to see!
I am a nervous nelly so far. I keep thinking that I am going to get AF and can't bring myself to look down in the bathroom. Anyone else a neurotic head case like me?

I got my BFP on 6/18 after our 1st IVF (fresh) Cycle following 3 failed IUI's.
I am now 6 weeks, 5 days and my due date will be February 25th!
I had my first ultrasound yesterday and saw the babe and a flicker of a heartbeat. It was awesome! Everything looked good and measured good. However, they did find a SCH, basically a blood pouch and I hadn't had any bleeding from it yet. Last night I started bleeding so I was very concerned but my nurse and RE both think it was from the SCH and there is no risk to the baby. I am praying that it resolves soon as it is terrifying to see blood.

@freudianmamma I am nervous and neurotic as well! I had some strong cramps tonight and terrified to go into the bathroom. I have had random cramps since transfer but these just felt like period cramps
So I got my BFP after our first round of IVF. We had MFI so our re was very optimistic that this would be successful after all my tests came back clear. Going for my second beta tomorrow! Hopefully my levels will be progressing on schedule. I think my EDD is March 15 but that is based on the date of my retrieval, I haven't been given a date by dr yet.
Now that we all have our BFPs - what app if any are you using to track your pregnancy? For symptoms, baby size, etc? I was using Ovia before to track ovulation when we were TTC and I liked it so I was still using just to add notes to calendar but I don't like their pregnancy app so much. I just downloaded Shine because it's made by the knot and I saw the ad when I started this app up - but are there others you prefer??
**Edit** I just logged into Shine and realized it is more for ovulation tracking. Once I put I am pregnant it said to track via the Bump app haha. Silly me, I haven't marked that i was pregnant yet on this site and didn't realize it would track the pregnancy! #Ijustcomeherefortheboards
@msirni0 infertility PTSD is so right! If that is what people say then I am a believer in it too. My hubby and I keep saying things like "if this stays in we will think about nursery/tell friends/believe it more". His first words this morning were "was yesterday a dream?"

I got my first BFP on an hpt on the 16th and then beat was the 20th.
EDD is End of February 2017. I'm just about 7 weeks so hopefully my RE will give me an actual due date. I think it's weird I haven't been given one yet.
I can sleep at any point in the day. It's really sad. All I want is a real cup of coffee. And morning sickness is legit. Alway queasy and have heartburn by the time I get out of the shower. Trying to figure out breakfast sucks! Today it is watermelon maybe a bagel later.

I went in for my first ultrasound today at 6w1d and they saw the gestational sac, but no yolk sack yet. Now I am a worried mess! My RE did not seem too phased or worried and just said it could still be too early, but everything else looks good. But she then sent me up for blood work and said to come back in a week. I can't even remember what size the sac measured and forgot everything I wanted to ask!! I'll get the call later today about my numbers, hopefully they will make me feel better. My only symptoms are sore bb's, increased thirst and being super tired, which is not making me feel better. Aahhh, I am going crazy.

@kfras every since I started stims I fall asleep immediately when getting into bed but i wake up around 4 or 5 every am. I just lay there and think about everything, which is when I start going crazy and over analyzing everything

Wahoo! My third beta came back at 4,491! (on 7/8 it was 1,650). I am so relieved. Ultrasound is going to be either Friday or Monday.

I'm def feeling the insomnia; I wake up at approximately 4:55am every day for NO REASON. Switched to small, frequent meals today because I'd been dealing with daily heartburn since about a week post transfer. Seemed to help! Of course, now that the heartburn is gone, I'm worried that I don't have heartburn anymore and why are my symptoms vanishing, etc etc etc. Because I'm a crazy person.
Here's to a happy and healthy 9 for all of us!

i will be 6 weeks tomorrow and the nausea is for sure settling in. I feel like complete garbage this morning, though it makes me feel like everything is progressing. You know you're pregnant when you tell DH you feel terrible and he says good haha.

@msirni0 the morning sickness hasn't set in for me yet, but ohhh do I remember it and yes how twisted it was to think, well this is good bc that means all is well. The things we are happy for when it comes to IF.
@UnicornsPlease yay, congrats lady!!
So 3rd beta was 1,024, I know I'm over analyzing (yes, I'm crazy) but I feel like my numbers are low compared to most others. Does that mean anything??

@msirni0 this nausea thing is no joke! I was on a walk the other day and got a whiff of something nasty smelling and gagged right on the trail. Making me sick just thinking about it... Sorry if that was just a trigger.
I have seen this question before but what are people's thoughts on exercising? I have this 5 mile circle trail by my house that I like to walk - is that too long? It takes like an hour and forty-five minutes to finish walking slowly.
