I'm also afraid to jinx myself but I'm 6w5d and we got to see the heartbeat yesterday which is amazing! The doctor had a hard time finding the baby but I blame their crappy low res US. Even the doctor said it's not the best. Going in next week to the radiology center for the good high res US. I miss you all and thinking of you!

No baby chez Catiecat yet - but I'm 38w and counting - mom arrives on Saturday and we're hoping our girl will hold off until then.
How about I do a sort of standard check in? I'm sure that sadly there are faces on the boards who are new since I graduated...
About me - I had a MC at Christmas 2015 - got my BFP at the very start of June, about 10 days after I accepted a job in San Antonio. I'm from Calgary - triple citizen (Canadian, Italian, American - all by birth). We crossed the border when I was 12 weeks pregnant and time has flown by since then. Unfortunately I don't qualify for FMLA because I haven't been here 12 months - but DH isn't working yet so he'll be home with her
We're expecting a baby girl on Feb 14th - which puts me at 38 weeks today - doctor mentioned I "might not have to keep working" yesterday as I'm starting to dilate and am quite effaced. I'm really hoping she waits until at least Sunday morning...
Anxiety is relatively low - the first trimester was rough, had anxious moments because I have an anterior placenta and didn't feel most of her kicks (we could see them on the ultrasound and I wouldn't feel them...) - but the last 2 weeks she's dramatically increased her movement and I'm loving it. That said, it is distracting when I'm trying to teach.
Symptom-wise it has been pretty calm and easy - right now it is getting harder - I've got edema and get out of breath easily - but that is standard for for where I'm at.

@catiecatp so wonderful to see your update. I would love an invite to the grad group if you or @BornReady could please?? I only mobile and know very little about the Bump so hopefully I can figure out how to accept the request
Good luck to you these last two weeks!!

No rainbow baby yet but I am 35 weeks today and all is well! Starting at 37 weeks I will start going to my appointments weekly but so far I am feeling pretty good and just waiting for baby girl to arrive...I am due March 7th- had my baby shower, nursery is set and just nesting for now
My anxiety is pretty low- I feel her on a pretty consistent basis now and the more frequent appointments help a lot. Now my concern is just on us having a safe and healthy delivery!
About me: TTC #2 since Spring 2015 BFP 9/2015 MC @ 9 weeks (measured 6 weeks 3 days) Started working with an RE March 2016 (MFI) IVF/PGS June 2016 FET August 2016 ...BFP!
I am currently 27 weeks (EDD April 28th) with a girl and cruising along! I cannot believe I'll be 3rd-tri on Friday, it seems so crazy after the constant waiting and trauma of TTCAL. This pregnancy has been pretty uneventful so far other than that I take weekly Makena injections to hopefully keep baby inside as long as possible. I had my DS at 35 weeks due to PPROM and he required NICU time, so this was recommended.
I definitely still lurk over here and root all of you ladies on. Wishing you all the best in this awful journey. I know what a huge source of support this place was for me during a very dark time in my life and I hope you all find that same support for yourselves.
Hi ladies! A quick recap: DH and I started TTC in March 2014 (wow, that was a long time ago) but I knew within a few months that something wasn't right so we started seeing an RE and I was diagnosed with PCOS. We did 6 rounds of Clomid, one ended up being ectopic, one or two chemicals and then nothing for the other rounds, so we moved on to IVF. Did that in October 2015 and got 9 total embryos, transferred 2, nothing, 2 more, chemical, 2 again and got pregnant. That ended in a MMC in April 2016. Since 6 had failed, we thought we'd transfer the remaining 3 and move on to another PGS tested round of IVF, but to our surprise I got a strong bfp, followed by an even stronger bfp. First ultrasound at 5+6 showed 3 sacs and 3 heartbeats. EDD is technically April 15th, but since it's still triplets I'll have a c-section scheduled for the week of March 20th, and they could actually come now at any time. Oh, and today I am 29+3!
I'd say overall my pregnancy has been pretty smooth. I had a UTI in the early second tri, then some bleeding a few weeks later, but nothing major. Symptoms are sometimes bad, but mostly manageable, and not worse than some ladies I know. I'm very lucky in that pregnancy seems to agree with me once I actually get pregnant. I still have appointments every two weeks, though that will change the week of February 13th because I now see an MFM and an OB. My new MFM doesn't do deliveries, so I have to have an OB to do that.
I'm so excited when we get new faces over at the grads board. It makes my heart happy that more and more of us are getting our rainbow babies.

I've been TTC since October 2015. I'm currently 33 weeks along in my third pregnancy after two MMC and a negative RPL workup.
I had an SCH early in 1st tri and was convinced on more than one occasion that I had lost this little one. I bled for about six weeks straight. It was determined that this is likely how my body does pregnancy, since I have always bled each time. After that, I've had a pretty decent time pregnant. Don't get me wrong...there is always an element of anxiety due to previous losses, but it gets a little easier day by day. We are not finding out the sex, so I get to see what LO is on or around March 19th! I can't believe how soon that is.
I miss this community and lurk here often. It saddens me to see new faces but I know that at least you are getting so much support and kindness here. I'm rooting for all of you to get your BFP's with the stickiest of babies!
