How big is baby?
An appleseed
Upcoming appointments this week?
Nope, not until 8 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes?
I have just been tired! No nausea yet. My mom said she never had morning sickness with me or my two brothers so maybe I will get lucky
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I'm pretty sure my husband and I have decided what job I'm going to take and therefore where we will be moving in a year and a half! So excited
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
I never really make resolutions! So I hadn't thought about it. Maybe to more consistently make it to the gym 4-5 days per week instead of 3-4!

Upcoming appointments this week?
Nope! No appointment until Jan. 25 at 10 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes?
Not really. Still tired but I've been sick so I can't distinguish symptoms at the moment.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I woke up feeling better today!! Just in time for my bestie's bachelorette party tomorrow and DH going out of state for the weekend. I was not looking forward to wrangling a toddler sick and alone.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
My resolution is to practice better self care, including but not limited to, eating healthy and being more active.
How big is baby? cherry
Upcoming appointments this week? Had my first US, appointment, and blood draw this morning. LO is measuring exactly at 9 weeks.
Any new symptoms or changes? Still nauseous off and on, still vivid crazy dreams, being on my phone too long (browsing) makes me feel like crap, sometimes diarrhea and sometimes constipated, and lots of smell aversions.
Rants/Raves/Questions? no
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year? Take more time for myself. I need to take people up on watching DD more so I can get more "relaxing" time for me.

Upcoming appointments this week?
I have to wait for the new year for my better insurance to kick in, so I am scheduling my first appointment on Monday.
Any new symptoms or changes?
The all day queasiness has kicked in. Plus, the smell aversion to raw meat while being cooked.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
It was so fun telling DH the happy news on Christmas Eve. His reaction was priceless!
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
My goal word for the year is intention

Upcoming appointments this week?
Nope, not until 9 weeks
Any new symptoms or changes?
I can't stand the smell of food being heated up in the microwave by coworkers. Can't they eat something less stinky?
Rants/Raves/Questions?
I thought morning sickness was kicking in but it was a stomach virus that DS had. Luckily it wasn't too bad.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
Try to stress less and recognize anxiety before it consumes me!
How big is baby? Raspberry
Upcoming appointments this week? YES! Tomorrow! Finally
Any new symptoms or changes? Some mild Nausea started around week 7. The most annoying part of that is that any time I wake in the middle of the night I feel nauseous. And with 2 little ones I'm up multiple times. As long as I go back to sleep it's ok though.
Rants/Raves/Questions?
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year? Hmm, hadn't really thought about it! Nothing I can think of. I like to feed my family as few processed things as possible. So I want to start making homemade sandwich bread and cereal because those are two of the things my kiddos eat often. I hoping homemade will be cheaper than buying premade organic.
How big is baby? An appleseed
Upcoming appointments this week? Nope, next appointment is 1/10 for an ultrasound.
Any new symptoms or changes? Boobs are starting to get a little sore and bigger. Small amount of spotting this AM. Maybe a little more emotional. Not sleeping. Haven't really had any major symptoms.
Rants/Raves/Questions? Not really. I would like to not freak out and stress with every little new symptom or lack of symptoms.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year? I want to try to eat healthier, especially now that I'm pregnant. I've already cut out caffeine and several other things during the IVF process. But no real new years resolutions.
TTC for 8 years.
Started in 2008 with timed intercourse, ovulation testing, no official monitoring.
OB-GYN recommended Clomid and timed intercourse, attempted for 6 straight months.
First surgery June 2009 (OB-GYN): diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis and large hydrosalpinx on right tube.
Second surgery (July 2009, RE performed this): Right tube had to be removed, lots of adhesions removed.
Attempted "trying on our own" as per RE recommendations, unsuccessful 5-6 months.
HSG performed December 2009: left tube open.
February 2010: started Femara and timed intercourse, attempted 6 months, no BFPs.
Took a break for a while.
January 2011: started IUI process, ovaries never properly responded to medications, 6 failed attempts, never actually completed an IUI.
Took 2012-2014 off due to depression and frustration (side note: did complete grad school to become a nurse practitioner- great distraction).
2015: started seeing RE again, went through tons of testing and HSG, left tube now blocked, only option is IVF.
September 2015: Started first official IVF cycle, cancelled in October due to large cyst on left ovary.
October 2015: started on birth control for 2 months.
December 2015: attempted to start another IVF cycle, cysts on both ovaries on initial ultrasound, left was huge, cancelled to aspirated cyst.
January 2016: Cyst back, surgery for ex-lap, cyst and adhesions removed.
March 2016: Attempted second IVF cycle, estrogen way too high, cyst back, cancelled again.
April 2016: Third attempted IVF cycle, 7 eggs retrieved, 2 mature (but not great) embryos made to fresh transfer, neither implanted.
May-Sept 2016: Break to regain sanity.
Sept-Oct 2016: Attempted fourth IVF cycle, very successful, cyst still on left but we ignored. 7 mature "great looking" eggs retrieved, 4 mature embryos made it to day 5 transfer. Transfer aborted due to large amount of endometriosis fluid in uterus.
FET of 2 embryos completed on 12/12/16.
12/22/16 1st Beta 179 BFP!!!
12/24/16 2nd Beta 449!!
EDD 8/30/17 with two girls!!!!!
Audrey (4lb 8oz) and Olivia (6lb 6oz) born 8/10/17!!
How far along are you? 5 weeks
How big is baby? Appleseed/peppercorn
Upcoming appointments this week? Not until 1/19, week 8. Anxiously waiting!
Any new symptoms or changes? Pretty gross, but this morning at work, I used the restroom after another girl and it smelled like BO so bad it made me gag and my stomach never felt the same after. I don't know if my sense smell is actually heightened or if she really left behind that bad of a smell.
Rants/Raves/questions: still on cloud nine after finding out and telling DH on Christmas Eve, but also a bit nervous. We are waiting to tell our families after the first appt.
Resolutions: I don't plan on "dieting" but I want to make sure I'm incorporating healthy foods every day for LO. I also want to commit to daily meditation to keep stress levels down and improve our finances by budgeting better.

Any new symptoms or changes?
less nausea same fatigue
Rants/Raves/Questions?
my whole family is sick and it makes everything more difficult than it needs to be.
Also, I fell down my inlaw's stairs and on top of being incredibly embarrassing (full house) I pulled a muscle in my butt cheek.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year?
being more proactive in my work and being more involved with my children
Edit: The bump is being really weird
How big is baby? raspberry
Upcoming appointments this week? no.
Any new symptoms or changes? the gift that keeps on giving... I'm having some spotting/bleeding old blood. Headaches are still there (finally accepting that I just have 6-8 wk long nonstop headaches with my pregnancies). Nausea comes in waves. And this absolutely disgusting taste in my mouth that no amount of toothpaste has yet been able to remedy.
Rants/Raves/Questions? see above.
GTKY: Do you have any resolutions for the new year? not really. just a continuation of the goals I pile on throughout the year: being a more involved, patient mother. communicating better with my husband. less phone time. more outside time. sticking to our meal plan and budget.
