*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Name has long been picked ☺️
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Well we finally got a house and are "all" moved in. Things are coming together. I feel immense relief having a space for this baby (even if it is just a side of the master for now). Things are moving fast and it's getting to crunch time!
The recent grads have made me so so happy! I can't wait to see more in the coming 2wks 😉!
*How far along are you? 12w2d
*Which birth month board/due date? March 2020 / 3/21
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team we-are-finding-out-but-not-telling-anyone ^_~*
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I get an NIPT blood draw this Wed. & the sex will be included in the results. Hoping for a good HB & good results--then & only then are we allowed to talk names.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Miss yall! I've been a terrible lurker/bumper lately bc I've felt so terrible for weeks, but hoping I start to really feel better soon. I've had to force myself to be on the computer again for work, and thankfully, the seasickness scrolling/typing was giving me doesn't happen as often. But that also means when I am having a good day/few hours, I am mostly trying to get work done. Anyway. My PGAL-plus-FTM brain is making me nuts, and I will feel better after this appointment. Rooting for yall! So so so happy for the recent grads! Looking forward to some more ^_~*
Alsooo, I saw awhile ago you did a sports/NFL GTKY thread and I was sad I couldn't participate to rep my E-A-G-L-E-S! I posted about how excited I was on my BMB yesterday and the only responses I got were ppl who were like, "we don't like sports/football." Geez, didn't they ever watch Bambi.
*How far along are you? 17 weeks and 3 days!
*Which birth month board/due date? February BMB! DD is 2/14
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out on September 22nd at our gender reveal! We've had the results for OVER A MONTH! I'm losing my mind in excitement lol.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Boy = Findley Girl = Carolyna (yes, it does have a y instead of an i but I don't care LOL. It's one of my favorite font names and DH and I both love it. Nickname will be Callie)
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Just that I miss you ladies like crazy. You probably see me love-titting you guys constantly. I'm praying and rooting for all of you!!!
eta: to edit something to "BOLD!" lol.
Diagnosed with PCOS & Hashimoto's
*How far along are you? 9w3d
*Which birth month board/due date? April BMB. 4/11.
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Girl name is set (my grandmother’s name). Boy name is complicated. We’ll probably stick with a name we both like, but I’m not sure. We’ve stopped discussing names until we know the sex.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Rooting so hard for you ladies. I hope to see many more of you on this check-in soon. I miss this board so much.

*How far along are you? 6 Weeks today!
*Which birth month board/due date? May 2020, EDD currently 5/3
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Still deciding if we're going to find out! We've done team green and that was fun, so might try finding out this time.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven't even broached the topic yet. Need to make sure this is the real deal first! We do still have our girl name from last time, though.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? 2nd Beta draw came back great! Just had my 3rd this morning. I have an early ultrasound on Thursday and I hope that will help ease some PGAL anxiety. We're flying to Seattle for a wedding on Saturday (which also happens to be our 6 year wedding anniversary) and I'm excited, but being secretly pregnant at a wedding will be interesting.
I MISS YOU ALL SO MUCH AND WANT EVERYONE TO COME TO MAY, PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I need all the help I can get. Dh and I haven’t agreed on anything and I’ve hit a wall. They will be baby boy and baby girl
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We’ve been trying to do testing on baby girl to determine if there are any genetic issues but every time we’ve gone in there’s been an issue with how the babies are sitting. We’ve taken this as a sign and have ultimately just decided not do the amnio and continue with scans following her closely. Besides being small they haven’t seen any other issues so we have hope she is completely healthy. As always, I lurk you guys everyday and love seeing all the recent graduates. I can’t wait to see the next few move on to their bmbs soon!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We haven't even thought about names yet. We are waiting for the results of my NIPT and NT before venturing down that path.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I lurk here almost every day and it has been so wonderful seeing so many of you recently graduate to May 2020. I can't wait to keep seeing more and more positive news come out of here!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I’m pretty sure we FINALLY have a name picked out. We wont 100% settle on it until we see his face.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I cannot believe I only have 3ish weeks left! I’m in denial that I’m having a baby within the next month. The nursery is just about complete. Everything is in the right place, I just need to finish up a few decorative items. Only have a few last minute items to purchase off of amazon and then we should be set. Had my first cervical check last Friday and everything is looking good. Starting to make progress anyways. Now all I need is for him to stay put until we make it to the birthing class on Sunday! (we accidentally booked up our whole summer with camping trips and then were too stubborn to cancel any of them so that we could get into the class sooner… probably a bad idea.)

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I miss you guys and I'm having a hard time remembering that I don't go here anymore. 😕 Please know that I'm hardcore lurking and cheering you all on. And I'm super excited for @inthewoods transfer tomorrow and @emeraldduchess' betas on Friday! Good luck ladies! ❤❤

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? So we found out today and.... team pink!!! Shocked as we have 6 nephews from all our siblings.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. As we only found out the sex today and because I’m constantly worried about jinxing it we haven’t talked properly about it yet. We will keep it secret until after the birth once we have it.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
I of course very much love seeing the grad thread blow up, none more so than when it’s one of my fellow IFers.
And please do keep remembering to either PM me or tag me in a thread if you’d like any questions answering - I don’t post publicly here without a tag so as not to overstep.
I think it’s common knowledge that PGAL is tough - but just a hint to all of you who will follow that PG after long term IF is also megs tough. I’ve been lucky to have great understanding doctors who let me go at the start several times a week for betas and scans to try to keep my anxiety (actually more like outright terror...) in check. Do talk to your doctors if you find yourself in this position and don’t be afraid to get support from a counselor.
Otherwise, things are very real as we got our Harmony results and first trimester screening results back all low risk - and the scan last week lasted and hour and was super detailed which was amazing and very reassuring. Everything looks normal. Such a relief.
We announced to my parents first on Saturday (we sent some booties to them as they live in another country) who were over the moon, then siblings and close friends. And today I told my team and close colleagues. So it’s been a very emotional few days!
I still don’t feel “safe” but I was finally feeling like I wanted to share with some close people as telling them will not change anything else that happens and now we have lots more support

I have truly, genuinely loved every second of this pregnancy. We have been so very blessed and I am so incredibly grateful for a boring pregnancy.

names have been picked for a long time! Not sharing, because it will all depend on gender at birth. But I will say, I got my class list a few weeks ago, and our boy name was a student name. I was furious that he would ruin the name! He withdrew, I never met him, so we are good! Lol
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
I’m just so excited to see the recent grads! A small update though - you ladies know we never heard a heartbeat back in May... we heard this sweet babe’s heart beating away a few weeks ago! So yay baby! I finally made my first purchase for baby, since my AL brain made me hold off for so long.
Mom stalking you all so hard waiting to see you all get your sweet news! I miss you all like crazy!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
I don't know that I will feel 100% certain until I see her face, but I'm about 99.99% sure she'll get the name we've had in mind for several years. 😊
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
This may be my last check-in with an inside baby! At my appointment today, my doctor scheduled baby girl's eviction date for October 3rd. I'm still wrapping my mind around the fact that we will really, truly be bringing a baby home soon.
I have loved seeing all of the recent grads lately, and especially those grads who have October angels - I have been rooting for you so hard and am so very very happy for you! ❤❤❤ I have everything crossed for a few more TTGPers to join May! 🤞
*How long were you active on TTGP and when? January-July 2019

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're dabbling in ideas, but probably won't commit to a name until we meet him.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? NIPT showed low risk, and this time we decided to find out the sex, so DS is getting baby brother! We've had a lot going on and face some big life decisions, but we're trying to enjoy the ride as much as we can! One big update, is that I won't be on this tough morning shift for much longer, so we think that'll be an improvement!
Meanwhile, I'm over here cheering for you ladies, always... and LOLing at the Peggies! Love to see so many of you graduating!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Even though I've entered the 2nd trimester the PGAL brain is still there. We didn't do NIPT because we did PGT-A on all the embryos but because of some issues MFM and the genetic counselor recommended an amnio in the beginning of October.
I lurk here all the time and I'm rooting for all of you. There is so much exciting news happening in the IF thread that makes me all kinds of happy. If anyone has any questions please PM me or tag me. I did all my own injections so I'm more than happy to answer any questions or give any tips. I will continue to lurk and love tit until I don't recognize any names!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had an US today and saw my baby move for the first time and heard the heart beat. I got teary eyed it was just so magical. Missing this board and keeping you all in my thoughts. Love seeing good news on the grad announcement boards!

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We haven't done anything for this baby yet. I just bought a pink outfit when I did a gender reveal for H. We need to get going because I don't know how I'll feel 10 weeks from now.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I still don't believe I am pregnant because I don't feel pregnant at all. I saw the baby move like crazy at the 12 week appointment so it's hard to imagine I have this little baby girl in my belly when I feel exactly like I did before getting PG. I am sure I am going to bite my tongue and it's only going to get worse from now

*Which birth month board/due date? September
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. You guys no. This is so frustrating. We had two names we were pretty certain were going to be it, which I was cool with. But now DH and vetoed them both and I am having serious anxiety about it. Like, we have two weeks to figure it out. Why are you doing this to me.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? We go in tomorrow for our last US to see how BIG baby is. Then will make a plan from there. He's been measuring two weeks ahead pretty much the entire pregnancy and my doc thinks I might have a hard time if he's over 9.5 lbs. I'm really really really trying to avoid an induction and/or a c-section. I just keep reminding myself that whatever is best for a healthy baby. OMG guys I'm going to have a baby? I still don't believe it.
While I'm thrilled to see this thread blow up, there are still so many I'm continuing to root for. I think about you guys often and can NOT wait to celebrate your BFPs with you.
