*Which birth month board/due date? February // 2/14

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Carolyna Mae!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Well looks like it's finally baby month. A lot of exciting things happening! We are also closing on a house at the end of the month and I finally get to trade in my old and rusty Jeep for a new one! So sad this is my last check-in, time has flown! But I will continue to creep on all of you lovely ladies

.

kpearse99 · February 2020

@brookert615 I simply can't believe your DD is coming up so soon!!! I hope you're feeling good!!

ruby696 · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? About two years.

*How far along are you? 25 weeks.

*Which birth month board/due date? May 14th, but they will be here in late April/first week in May

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Lavender

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We're 95% sure we have their names, but we're not sharing until they're born. I've been known to change my mind at the last minute when it comes to important decisions, so MH says we're only 75% sure. 😬

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I'm still creeping here all. the. time. Especially the IF board - @kpearse99and @inthewoods23... following you both and so many others. I can't wait for more grads!

kpearse99 · February 2020

@ruby696 I appreciate you so much, my friend!!! We are in serious need of some new grads!! It's been a while since a lot have graduated!!

NYTino24 · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? November 2018-January 2020

*How far along are you? 7 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? September 18, but they will likely be born August 1 or maybe even in July

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? ??? Finding out

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. DH nixed all of my names except 1 and that’s gonna be tough because we need 3!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

It’s triplets!!! We never thought this would happen, but it’s definitely making me feel a little less sad about our empty due date coming up next week. What a ride this has been! Baby B has been feisty and hard to see, but all 3 are on track with nice heartbeats. I’m on progesterone and baby aspirin and I’ve spotted 3 times, but we are chugging along. The exhaustion is insane. We need some prayers to make it to a good gestation and are hoping for a short NICU stay.

Don’t ever give up hope! We are all rooting for you ladies!

I miss you all. Been totally lurking the IF Board in particular and rooting hard for you ladies. I keep hoping to see a mass exodus. It’s time. You deserve it.

krystrist2014 · February 2020

@NYTino24 OMG TRIPLETS!!!!! That is incredible! I only gave 1 congrats when you announced and now I feel like you need two more!!! CONGRATS! CONGRATS!

I can't believe I am going to have a baby soon. It still feels so surreal.
Following the IF thread every week. Hoping to read some good news in the next couple weeks/month.

mrsvp614 · February 2020

OMG @NYTino24 !!! So exciting!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Jan-July 19

*How far along are you? 35 weeks tomorrow

*Which birth month board/due date? March 2020

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Cannot commit yet. We'll decide when we meet him.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe this could be my last check-in with a baby on the inside! This has flown by. Always lurking and rooting for you ladies!

emeraldduchess · February 2020

@NYTino24 TRIPLETS?!? I almost yelled "holy crap!" at my desk! Congratulations!

galentine · February 2020

@NYTino24, OMG triplets!!! So many congratulations to you. I'll keep you in my thoughts for you and your three babies to make it to a nice, healthy gestation! ❤❤❤

mindyb2019 · February 2020

@NYTino24 Holy shit balls triplets😯 wow that’s sooo awesome, congratulations. 😁❤️

bluetickgal · February 2020

@NYTino24 WOW, such exciting news!!! 💜 Congratulations!! I’ll be thinking about you and those sweet little ones and praying that they can hang out on the inside for as long as possible!!

m6agua · February 2020

@nyTino24 Congrats on the triplets! That is amazing!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April-Sept 2019

*How far along are you? 25+4

*Which birth month board/due date? May, May 14

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Most likely the name will either be Lincoln James or Emmett James, we won't decide until birth though.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? So far so good, I have my second glucose screening and my third tri Endocrinology (thyroid issues) appointment later this month and I am nervous. I am hoping to avoid GD this time and that my thyroid health is still normal.

Always lurking and rooting for you all.

begging4abump · February 2020

How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? End of dec 18- end of September 19

*How far along are you? 22 weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? June 7, but I’m more of a lurker.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I think we’re all set, but we’re holding out on sharing. The first name is a variant of mh’s Gma’s first name and the middle name is the middle name of his other gma. I like old lady names. 😆

*Questions, concerns or other? Nothing really. I didn’t feel up to posting last month because it’d been so long since I’d had an appointment, and I just get so anxious that something could be wrong if I don’t have minute to minute reassurances, so I wasn’t in the right mindset to post. Paif is a real mind trip. I did get to have my anatomy scan a couple weeks ago, and while they did spend an unnerving amount of time looking at the heart, I was told everything was fine.
I’m rooting so hard for you guys! I agree with pp and I’m hoping for a mass grad exodus soon!!

b_1029 · February 2020

I can’t believe some of you ladies are in baby month! I still vividly remember when you posted your announcement...what even is time.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Aug 2018-Nov 2019

*How far along are you? 16+3

*Which birth month board/due date? July, 7/17 (they didn’t change the EDD since it’s based on the trigger shot but she was measuring 5 days ahead at the 12w US...guessing it’ll be a little earlier!)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Found out a couple weeks ago we are team PINK!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. There are some we like but we haven’t had an actual legit discussion about it yet. We also haven’t decided if we’ll share since everyone and their mother has an opinion.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My anxiety is still fairly high so I just hope my appointment this week goes well and then we have the anatomy scan at the beginning of March. We were so excited to find out what we were having although neither of us obviously cared what it was- just so happy to finally be here. I’m still looking forward to the part of this pregnancy where I freaking relax and start believing this could actually happen for us.

I’ve been bad about lurking lately between the random app issues and our vacation this past week, but I hope all of my friends in the IF thread know that I’m rooting for you! I miss everyone so much and am just waiting for the day you all blow up the grad thread ❤️ I’m hoping for some exciting updates this month with all the FET prep and new protocols!

kpearse99 · February 2020

@b_1029 a baby girl??!!! Ahhhh I'm so happy for you!!!

celticknotfire · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Oct 2018-June 2019

*How far along are you? 36+4

*Which birth month board/due date? Feb BMB/EDD 02/27

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We are pretty set in stone but haven't announced it yet mainly because MH is afraid of jinxing things.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Getting close to go time! Baby boy is still measuring 2-3 weeks ahead and great then 95% for weight.

I lurk the IF thread multiple times a week and I rooting for all of you. I know I never would have gotten through everything without all the IF ladies and will never be able to verbalize how special that bond really is.

shamrocandroll · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Dec '18 - Aug '19

*How far along are you? 26+4

*Which birth month board/due date? May 7 / May BMB

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. I haven't shared this with anyone "IRL" and don't plan to, but we're pretty sure his first name will be Gavin. We're still working on a middle name.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I was so excited to participate in the recent "Best of" thread, and it made me miss you ladies even more than usual. I'm rooting so hard for you ladies, especially in the IF board. You all deserve a mass exodus SOON!!! Blow it up, ladies!

puppylove8910 · February 2020

How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April-July 2019

*How far along are you? 33 weeks 😯

*Which birth month board/due date? 3/23, March BMB (except a move to FB was done last week and I don't have FB so there's no real BMB anymore)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink💖

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Will share once she arrives!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I can't believe I'm in the final stretch. My DS arrived 39+2 so in my head I'm thinking only 6 weeks left, but I realize she can come earlier or later. It just blows my mind how quickly this pregnancy has gone by!

I can't get over all the exciting news on this thread. Triplets, team Pink news and February babies about to be born. I hope to see some more grads soon!

** Question: do we know how the January grads are doing? Any baby updates?

shamrocandroll · February 2020

@puppylove8910 I thought the grad threads usually ran one month past the current month to be sure to catch baby updates from everyone, but I could be wrong and it might just depend on where in the month you end up delivering. Anyone else who might know better than me?

kpearse99 · February 2020

@shamrocandroll When I took over starting these threads back in like September or October I just followed suit with whomever was posting these before, I can certainly add the tags back in for the January BMBers so we can get updates!

hanshotfirst77 · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Feb '19 - Oct '19

*How far along are you? 20 weeks, half way there!

*Which birth month board/due date? June BMB, 6/21

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. - I have her name, tested it out last few weeks and love it! I'm not sure if I'll wait til she's born to share or not.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had the anatomy scan last week and all looks good. Have to go back in a few weeks for a fetal echo(they do it for all IVF patients) and also they need some more images of the heart they couldn't get. I'm still fighting some PGAL anxiety, but making it to the A/S and half way point have been huge for me. And I've definitely started feeling her move so that helps too.

Still rooting so hard for you guys. Especially the IF/TTCAL ladies. Can't wait to see the grad thread blow up and not recognize anymore names.

Also, @NYTino24 omg triplets! So exciting!!!

puppylove8910 · February 2020

@kpearse99, I think that would be amazing if you don't mind. It would be lovely to hear from them!

inthewoods23 · February 2020

Can I suggest adding @jennifer_louise under September? I know she was on a long bump break, but I feel bad not having her included when she was part of this board for so long before the break and found success during that time.

kpearse99 · February 2020

Of course!!!! I thought she should have posted when she graduated but I didn’t know how to handle situations when people have been here long enough but move on without sharing. I’ll add her!

jennifer_louise · February 2020

@inthewoods23 @kpearse99 thanks ladies for thinking of me! I was just coming off of a long TB break when I got my BFP so I never said an official goodbye. If you can't tell, it's more of "constantly lurking" than an actual goodbye anyway, because I love you ladies so dang much. This is truly a special corner of the internet.

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? September 2018 - November 2019

*How far along are you? 6+3

*Which birth month board/due date? At the moment, September 25 (Sept 2020)

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team not sure yet!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Nowhere near ready to talk about names, but y'all will be the first to know.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Well, not much exciting going on here yet since I haven't even had my first scanning appointment, but I am happy for the chance to pop in and say how much I am rooting for everybody, especially the IF ladies. I can't wait to celebrate the Great October Exodus and I await the day I'll have to stalk you all over there instead

ejoseph16 · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? January 2019-August 2019

*How far along are you? 30w3d

*Which birth month board/due date? April 10/April BMB

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
we have both a boy and a girl name set. I have a tendency to call baby by the girl name, since I’m convinced it’s a girl. 🤷🏼‍♀️ We have either William Allan or Elizabeth Mae.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Loving every movement from baby, it’s like nothing else! Finally starting to work on the nursery, and in true fashion I have started a checklist of things to get done before baby gets here. It helps that I have been bumped up 2 weeks because of my gestational hypertension, but I’m just so excited to meet baby that I don’t care!

I have been watching and rooting for you all! Hoping to see some major grad updates soon!

emmasemm · February 2020

How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 2 years July 2017 to June 2019

How far along are you? 35 weeks! I wake up and have to pinch myself every day

Which birth month board/due date? March (but I only lurked) and March 7th (but she is likely to come in February so this could be my last inside checkin!!!)

Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We think we have her name, but waiting to meet her before the final decision. She’s already got a big personality so we are aware she might want to have the final say!

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

My blood pressure is steadily on the rise, so we’re keeping a close watch but *touch wood* no other signs of pre-eclampsia so far so we’re keeping her cooking as long as we safely can. Luckily most of the rest of my “to do” list can be done from the couch. All but one spreadsheets have been ticked off. DH just needs to move his office furniture out and build her furniture in her room this weekend!

I still keep a regular check from a “respectable distance” on the IF thread. I so want to see you all find success soon. Please ladies don’t be shy - anything IVF, FET, autoimmune or AMA related just reach out.

Though these days I feel at least 10 years younger than the 41 I really am! Not sure that’s going to last much longer

mokay19 · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)?
January-September 2019

*How far along are you? 24+3

*Which birth month board/due date? May / May 23rd

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
I’ve said this every time, but it’s not going well haha. I regularly Google names so maybe something will stick soon!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?

We have to do a repeat anatomy scan at the end of February since baby wasn’t cooperating for images of the cord. Thankfully, my midwife isn’t concerned since she said the main concern would be growth, but baby was in the 88th percentile during the anatomy scan.

I miss you all and the 2019 memory thread was so amazing! I did not get much (if any) work done on the day that I was going through that!

shamrocandroll · February 2020

@kpearse99 I hope you didn't take that as a knock on you! I appreciate you doing these so much! I just wasn't sure what the official last check-in protocol was, but personally, I'd love to be able to catch our grads one last time after their babies arrive!

kagesstarshroom · February 2020

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? late Nov. 2018-mid-July 2019, skip ~1 month

*How far along are you? 33w3d

*Which birth month board/due date? 3/21 is my EDD! & like @puppylove8910 said, BMB moved to fb. I wanted to keep the BMB, too, since it was so organized & not everyone has fb, but there didn't seem to be much action on there--& TB has been the worst lately, sooo. Alas.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a list & it's kind of whittled down to three from there. I had a lot of rules, and anything either of us have brought up outside the list has been vetoed. Now we just have to wait to meet her so we know which name is right for her!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? My dissertation defense is tomorrow! Also, I am all but waiting to sign the paperwork for a sweet job I got, starting in the Fall. So things are looking good! Trending up! Really hoping March comes quickly! Love to yall here.

rikiteacup · February 2020

@kpearse99 yes it would be nice, a few grads had their babies a few weeks ago.

kpearse99 · February 2020

@rikiteacup I added them back in!!

@kobrien827 , @kbrown2385, @marebear15 feel free to let us know how everything went and how everything is going!!
