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!
It's funny how it's the little things in life that mean the most...not where you live, or what you drive, or the price tag on your clothes... There's no dollar sign on a piece of mind, this I've come to know! *ZBB*

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

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

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!

@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?

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

@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.

*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!

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

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!
@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!

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.

*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.
- BFP: 3/10/16 — Baby Girl born 11/20/16
TTC#2 April 2019*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!!
*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!

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!

*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!!!

*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 .

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!
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!
