Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: we will finally be announcing to family on Friday!
Upcoming Appointments: OB 09/24
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I'm loving the extra energy! Still craving soup and eggs.
Rants/Raves: Rave is definitely the energy! I don't really have any rants other than I keep waking up because I'm sleeping on my back so I think I need to readjust my pillow.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish because I think it would be very beneficial in today's society. Also it would make it easier to find a work from home job because they are always looking for bilingual people in healthcare positions.
Me:37 MH:37
TTGP since 07/2017
**TW** in spoiler
DX: PCOS, anovulatory, AMA
Femara X3: no response
Clomid X3: BFN (cyst and thin lining)
IUI (Dec '18) MMC
IVF (April '19) 9 retrieved, 7 fertilized, 2 normal PGT-A
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): good my only problem is gas if I didn’t have that it’d be like I was 5 months ago
Rants/Raves: RAVES: I was able to look at a location for our gender reveal yesterday and it works!! I’ve have been looking everywhere and had basically given up on my idea so glad it is going to work out🤗
Questions:
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I’m learning Spanish now only because it’s so prevalent in America but I want to learn French mainly because it was the main language of the region in Africa that I grew up in and I wish my parents had been more firm about me learning it back then. I’m hoping to be fluent in both Spanish and French by 35
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Feeling pretty good except for weekends. I am just exhausted on weekends. I spend most of my Sundays in bed now
Rants/Raves: I finally told my boss this morning I was pregnant! What a relief. He was super happy. Oh, and we started our registry this weekend. Still unsure about a lot of stuff. I also ordered some baby clothes from my country. They sell in the US so this was perfect.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I already speak 3 languages fluently (I am ESL) but I would say Russian. I studied it in HS and this would come in very handy at work now.
TTC#1 10/2018: MFI (2 SA under 9 million/ml) 11/2018: HSG shows right Fallopian tube slightly damaged 1/2019: Husband diagnosed with grade 3 varicocele 4/05/2019: varicocele repair surgery 6/13/2019: BFP!!! EDD: 2/22/2020 Baby girl born 2/27/2020 7/18/2019: Total Motile Count at 3 months post surgery = 51 millions!! (number must be >20 millions to conceive naturally).
Baby is the size of a(n): Can of soda (but half the weight! lol)
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: FO...4 more weeks! AH!
Upcoming Appointments: Just had my 16w this morning, next is anatomy scan on 10/14
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Craving all the carby desserts I shouldn't be having. Symptoms, ebbing nausea. Seems to be waning though!
Rants/Raves: Rants-none? Raves-Dr was very happy! I lost 4lbs since I saw her last and my blood pressure has been consistently good.
Questions: nope
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Ukrainian! I started learning it a bit last year but I need to start it again/more in depth. H and his family speak it fluently and I can't have him teaching baby Ukrainian without me knowing some too! lol The only thing I really retained was how to ask, "Where is the cat?"
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I’m craving chicken salad sandwiches on whole grain bread with lots of leafy lettuce. I’m feeling horrible but only because I have croup 😩
Rants/Raves: I’ve already been sick twice this pregnancy. I’m so over it.
Questions: For those of you with LOs already, what are your thoughts on taking them to the anatomy scan? It could be a wonderful bonding experience, but if they find anything that could be concerning it might be better if they aren’t there.
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Mandarin. They’re taking over. Haha
@rikiteacup I also get tired out quickly on weekends. I think it’s because we do a lot of errands/chores and it just drains me! Also, my mom is a (retired)non-native Russian linguist and she said it is one of the most difficult languages to learn.
@doodleoodle I think we are bring our LO to the anatomy scan. I don’t know how much she will understand but I think she will like seeing the baby.
EDD/Weeks + Days: 16 weeks 5 days
Baby is the size of a(n): Avocado
Team Finding Out/Blue/Pink/Green: Pink
Upcoming Appointments: Oct. 8th anatomy scan, looks like a few of us are the same day!
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Still feel yucky. Felt bad with DD until 18 weeks so I’m really hoping to start feeling better soon!!!
Rants/Raves: Just want to feel better.
Questions:
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? Spanish, took so many year in high school and college and retained nothing.
@doodleoodle, I won't be bringing LO to the anatomy scan. Less out of fear of bad news but more because she is 2 and there is no way she would stay entertained long enough to allow my H and I to enjoy the ultrasound.
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): Feeling better lately. Exhausted but I’m blaming that on my other 2 not sleeping
Questions:
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? French. I moved 2800kms away from all of my family to get a job as a teacher but could have worked closer to home if i could speak French! So I would love to be able to go back!
@doodleoodle I would agree with @jvk2012. I know my husband would end up chasing them around and keeping them away from the drawers and machines. They are 3.5 and 1.5. Depending on the age and temperament of the kids. Mine would never last 45-60 minutes for the scan and it would stress me out not being able to help. I also don’t think either would understand anything with the ultrasound at this age. We showed him a picture of our last ultrasound and he was so confused lol
Upcoming Appointments: Tomorrow for just a monthly checkup
How are you feeling? (Cravings/Symptoms): I want to eat nothing but salad all day, every day! Nothing else sounds good at all but I'm still eating it. Oh well... lol
Rants/Raves: ...
Questions: N/A
GTKY: If you could speak an additional language, which would it be and why? I already speak Spanish (thank you Florida!) and I speak a very small amount of Czech but I would love to be fluent in it! My dad's family came over from Czechoslovakia in the early 1900s and I love the food and culture so the language is the next step!

@Swiftlet it is hard! I cut and taped little papers with the Russian alphabet on my dictionary because I could never learn the right order for each letter. It was such a PITA when I was looking up a word. Now, bear in mind I graduated HS in 2000. I would just google it now I also had a lot of troubles with feminine, masculine and neutral nouns. My native language also has masculine and feminine nouns but when I was 2 for example, I was using the right gender because that's how I always heard it. My husband is learning my language and is struggling with gender too. I understand his pain. I told him he needs to speak fluently real soon otherwise the kid and I will be talking behind his back
