Re: Tuesday Ticker Change 5/9
2. How are you feeling? I'm really tired. Like, I'm having trouble staying awake at my desk right now. I got 7 hours of sleep last night; I may need to up it to 8 hours.
3. Any appointments this week? I wish! My 1st appointment is the 26th.
4. Rants/raves/questions? None yet!
5. GTKY: how did you and your partner meet? I was actually dating one of his friends and we met up in the bar at a concert venue. We quickly became fast friends. A while after my relationship was over, we continued to be close and it developed into a romantic relationship shortly after.

2. How are you feeling?
Boobs are sore. Was exhausted last week but a bit better today
3. Any appointments this week?
Nope
4. Rants/raves/questions?
my boobs have become firmer, more... hard I guess. It's weird.
5. GTKY: how did you and your partner meet?
Through a running group we were both part of.
2. How are you feeling? Nausea seems to be an every other day thing? Of course, when I'm not feeling it, I worry about whether I should (I know, I know, symptoms come and go). Bloated, tired, but not terrible.
3. Any appointments this week? My next appointment (with my RE) is 5/15, to look for a heartbeat. If everything looks good, I think she'll release me to go to an ob/gyn!
4. Rants/raves/questions? I'm just trying to stop worrying and be happy. If something bad happens, I'll feel awful regardless of how I'm feeling now, so I should just let myself be happy... Clearly, my brain is working against me.
5. GTKY: how did you and your partner meet? We met at a dive of a gay leather bar. I had never picked up someone in a bar before (or since), and she'd never been picked up! We didn't go home together or anything (I kinda wish we had, so I could have had my torrid-night-with-a-stranger experience), but chatted online for a few weeks before a first date. So maybe I didn't *really* pick her up at a bar, since that implies going home together that night, but I like to say that I did.
7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!
fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP!
Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)
2. I don't have any major symptoms yet, other than a generally "weird" feeling and a BFP.
3. The exciting appointment is the one I don't have. I was supposed to see a fertility specialist for the first time this Thursday, because I'm 35 and we tried unsuccessfully for six months. Lucky number seven, LOL!
4. Pinch me! Until I have chorionic villus sampling to make sure this baby doesn't have the same genetic mutation our first child had, it's going to be incredibly hard to relax and accept that this is real.
5. I first laid eyes on my husband at a metal show. He had long hair, beautiful cheekbones, and an amazing black velvet coat. I thought he was the most incredible looking man I've ever seen, and I couldn't take my eyes off him. Months went by, and his face faded from memory, but I couldn't forget the coat! I looked for The Man In The Coat all summer, but I never found him.
10 months later, I met a guy, and we started dating. Somehow, that metal show came up in conversation, and he told me he'd been there to support his former bandmates (he used to be in the band). I looked at him, tilted my head, squinted, and asked, "Do you have a black velvet coat?"
Ladies, I married The Man In the Coat.
1. How many weeks are you? What size is baby? 5 weeks - tiny apple seed
2. How are you feeling? great! almost too good...I'm trying to remember that I didn't have many symptoms last time either and that everything will be ok. Ugh.
3. Any appointments this week? Nothing until the dating scan on 5/18
4. Rants/raves/questions? Nothing for today.
5. GTKY: how did you and your partner meet? We met in college....we lived in the same dorm our freshmen year and were friends with benefits for almost a year before we started dating in the fall of our sophomore year. We've been together ever since. People who didn't know us said we go pregnant "so quickly" because we had DD only after a year of marriage....they didn't know we dated for 11 years before we got married!
2. How are you feeling? Feeling ok. Tired. Am studying for my teaching certification test and I couldn't keep my eyes open.
3. Any appointments this week? Had an appointment yesterday. Confirmed PG with doctor and got my first round of HCG betas and Progesterone. Scheduled for my next blood test on Friday. Keeping fingers crossed that the numbers are doubling.
4. Rants/raves/questions? nothing right now.
5. GTKY: how did you and your partner meet? We met 15 years ago when I was on vacation with my girlfriend in Cancun, Mexico.
@crizz13 The first time we officially met, I was on a crowded balcony at a little indie show, and he was smoking delicious vanilla flavored cigarettes. I was never a regular smoker, but it smelled good and I wanted to bum one, so I followed my nose through the crowd and found him. We saw each other again a few weeks later, at another show. He followed me around all night, but it took him three weeks to get the nerve up to ask me for a date. But by our second date, we were inseparable. I figured out who he was about a month after we started dating. That was almost 8 years ago, wow.
2. Starting to feel a little off in the mornings and tired with heartburn in the evenings, but not too bad right now!
3. Meeting my midwife on Friday just for introductions and to gather information.
4. So busy at work and it's hard to concentrate sometimes!!!!
5. Meet him at University!!!!!
Such an awesome story about meeting your husband. Does he still have the velvet coat?
5w6days
2. How are you feeling?
I'm so freaking tired. Like barely keeping my eyes open past 830pm tired.
3. Any appointments this week?
1st ultrasound is tomorrow!!

5. GTKY: how did you and your partner meet?
DH and I actually met at a wedding! The bride is in my sorority pledge class and DH went to jr high and high school with the bride and groom. It was a Friday wedding and the bride/groom went and did pictures after the ceremony before the reception, so the guests went to the reception hall where they had very little food and a lot of booze. I noticed DH staring in my direction for a while after a while and finally went over and asked him if he planned to stare at me all night or if he was ever going to ask me to dance. He looked a little surprised and asked me to dance (I learned later when he gets pretty drunk he kind of stares off into space, so he likely wasn't actually staring at me....and without liquid courage I wouldn't have gone up to him like that so we thank our friends every year for the unbalanced booze to food ratio lol). We danced a little bit and went out separate ways, then after the reception at a bar where most of the friends went after we started to (drunkenly) talk, and one thing led to another. The first month we knew each other we racked up a 6500 minute phone bill (back when that was an issue, thankfully we were both on AT&T plans so it didn't cost me to go over my plan!). We found out that one of my good friends from HS dated his roommate for several yrs in college, and that one of my sorority sisters dated one of his fraternity brothers so we'd actually been at a few of the same parties in college but never met until the wedding (which was good for both of us). We dated for about 3 yrs and got married in 2009!

Rant: Husband left the gate in the backyard open yesterday, our dogs were in and out all day and night, we have lots of deer where we live and they couldve taken off at any point. He also took our one dogs collar off when playing with her so she had no ID on her........ luckily they didnt run off, or this baby wouldnt have a father and Id be in jail lol
5. GTKY: how did you and your partner meet?
He is from Jersey and Im from Maryland, I was living out in Cali for a few years (he was stationed out in Cali), I was planning on moving back to Maryland since I was getting divorced. My best friend in California, her husband was out on the boat and they eventually returned. I went over her house one night to go to girls movie night (Magic Mike) and my now husband was there drinking with my friends husband. I was attracted to him but wanted nothing to do with him since I was moving back to Maryland. Well we spent more and more time together since we both practically lived at our friends house on the weekend. He just started calling himself my boyfriend and I would always correct him that he was not, until about 5 months later I didnt correct him. We met in 2012 and married last November
