    Puppy Bowl is before the Super Bowl this year, at 3 ET I believe. I'll be watching it while making my appetizer specialty: chorizo-stuffed-bacon-wrapped dates! We're heading to a neighbor's house to watch the game. 

    My team isn't in this year, but I'll be cheering for the Falcons. I'll keep my mouth shut about my feelings for New England! ;)

  • Options
    @EmilyE13 - i've made bacon wrapped dates before, but never thought to stuff them with anything...i might have to try that at some point!!

    As much of a Boston sports teams fan I am, I was born in Atlanta, and have always rooted for the Falcons (since we rarely play them in regular season)...I'm looking forward to this game! 

    @emgem819 - a Falcons fan in VT? Oh, the horror! :wink: DH was born in NY, and he's a diehard Giants and Rangers fan, so we have quite a few bets/ "fights" cause of it...I just thank God that he hates baseball... :lol:

I'll have to research it more. Here's one article.... https://www.saragottfriedmd.com/nailed-nail-polish-brands-that-mess-with-your-hormones-plus-the-polish-i-personally-use/

    @lilmissslp lol, you didn't scare me,  just confirmed what I had thought I read.  
    Afm: ***TW***
    I have some non-fertility related crappy news I have to share because it's weighing on me.  I am a 34 year old nurse, if you remember from intro my mom's mom passed away suddenly on Oct. 28. Devastating but was glad I wasn't pregnant then, and transfer moved forward anyway so I was pretty stress free by Jan. 16, transfer day.  
    Yesterday, a week after my BFP my mom told me she has breast cancer:-( she was having her biopsy the week of transfer and decided to tell me yesterday. I'm very close to my mom and I completely lost it.  
    I feel like I can't catch a break.  I'm aware for the need to not stress and my DH has been supportive and will keep a good eye on me,  but sh!+, this sucks.

    @becauselove thanks for checking in on me :) I'm doing well! I'm tired and I'm definitely not eating my normal diet but overall my symptoms are VERY minimal- I feel so lucky, especially since there's 2 in me!!  I have an ultrasound 2/14 and then I graduate to my OB.  My last progesterone lab was 25 and RE wants it at 35, so continuing meds for now! 
     I bought a great book about having multiples on Amazon and am trying to really educate myself about what's to come! Still all very surreal.  

    @Worldtravler0522 I'm so sorry but I am really hoping Monday brings you unexpected positive news! I know you've been through a lot.  

    @JESSABER0414 I'm truly sorry to hear about your mom.  That has to be so so hard.  My prayers are with you both.  

    @lilmissslp how are you doing??

    They found a gestational sac and it's measuring 6.3 mm.  Seems smaller to me than it should be but who knows.  They don't seem terribly optimistic and said they need to see what my HCG is doing to really know if the pregnancy is viable.

    @Worldtravler0522 Oh thank goodness I am so happy to see this news!!! I am crossing my fingers and toes for you for a smooth rest of your pregnancy. <3

    @joslynj11 TWW has been smooth so far! I woke up this morning and it feels like my boobs were used as a punching bag last night, but that has happened off and on throughout taking these hormones. Yesterday I started looking at baby clothing/decor shops online, but stopped because I was scared to jinx myself. Pottery Barn Kids is soooo cute adorable though!

    @lilmissslp how are you doing girl? My beta isn't until Feb 13th, but I'm going to test Thursday or Friday because I can't wait that long  :D Are you having any symptoms?

    @Worldtravler0522 I'm sorry you're going through these up and downs. So happy to hear about the hcg numbers! Do you have a follow up scan?

    @JESSABER0414 I'm sorry to hear about your mom. You and your family will be in my thoughts!

    @JESSABER0414 I'm so sorry to hear that your mom was diagnosed with cancer.  Hoping they caught it early and that she has a good pronosis

    @Worldtravler0522 sorry about the roller coaster ride but very Good Beta FX

    Worldtravler0522 I’m so glad they found a sac and that your HCG is good!! Are they more optimistic about things now? 

    Joslynj11 Doing pretty well, thanks for asking! So anxious for Friday to be here! Trying to stay positive. How are you doing?? Getting excited for transfer?

    ChocolateIsLife I’m glad you’re doing well in the TWW. I’ve been looking at baby stuff too lol. I can’t help but be optimistic. I’m still having twinges and cramps here and there. I’m so glad my beat is Friday and it can’t come soon enough! I don’t blame you for wanting to test early, the 13th feels like forever away lol.

    @Lauren3617 I go back on Friday so they can see if there's been more growth.  

    @lilmissslp I get the sense that they are somewhat optimistic but not completely sold that it's a viable pregnancy yet. The nurse was more optimistic when I talked to her about my hcg this afternoon vs this morning with just the scan.

    @JESSABER0414 I'm so sorry for the news on your mother's health.  I'm sending prayers and positive thoughts for you and your family

    @BecauseLove Thanks for checking on me hun! My U/S went well, they saw a gestational sac and yolk sac so I feel very happy and lucky we were able to see things progressing.  I go back next week when I'll be 7w2d to check for cardiac activity. Nervous because I feel mostly normal (minimally sore boobs, rare fleeting moments of nausea, crazy bloat).    When I told my RE that, he said it's still pretty early so either I'll be lucky to go on to have minimal symptoms or I'll be eating my words in a couple weeks

    @Worldtravler0522 I've seen so many stories online of women spotting/bleeding only to go on to have healthy pregnancies but I totally get it, it's scary.  I'm happy that your hcg looks good and keeping my fingers crossed that your little fighter keeps fighting!

    @Joslynj11 Yayy it's transfer day for you!! FX for a smooth transfer and peaceful rest of your day! Let us know how it goes!

    @emilye13 FX for your beta today!

    So I've been awake since 4am with a horrible tooth ache :neutral: ughhh. I remember the doctor saying dental work is fine but just to tell them to treat me like I'm pregnant. I have a feeling my root canal from 10 years ago has failed.

    @ChocolateIsLife oh no!! I hope your toothache randomly goes away.  Thinking of you!! 

    Thank you for the support ladies! I would feel better if they had found the yolk sac too but I know it's still early.  Hopefully we continue to get good news on Friday.
