@ashaislurking thanks for starting this! Can we add @puppylove8910 @mrsvp614 @kagesstarshroom @chichiphin from March? I think they were the ones who hadn’t had their last check in yet

ashaislurking · April 2020

@bows22 added! Thanks!

b_1029 · April 2020

Woo I’m never first!

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

*How far along are you? 25+4

*Which birth month board/due date? July, 7/17

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Lol horribly. H doesn’t like any of my names but doesn’t have any suggestions. Oh well, we’ll get there.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? What a crazy time we’re in now huh? This obviously isn’t the first pregnancy I imagined, but I know I am lucky to be here. Everything is fine with baby as far as I know, I had an appointment yesterday.

I was so effing heartbroken reading all of the canceled / delayed treatment cycles in the IF thread. I’m so sorry ❤️ I am always and forever rooting for you ladies to GTFO of here and I know how much delaying any sort of treatment sucks. I wish I could do more for you all than just lovetit but please just know that I am here. Sending you all extra love during this ridiculously difficult time- career wise, TTC wise, and social media wise (I’ve seen so many people whine about quarantine with their LOs and I know it sucks. I’m sorry and hope you all get your THBs soon ❤️)

*How far along are you? 15+4

*Which birth month board/due date? September 2020

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green, for the time being (:

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Well I have a boy name that I love, and I think H is on board. But, we disagree on girl names, and have no middle name prospects - so we still need a bit of work.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? So, times have changed a bit since our last check-in. It's so unfair that many of you have had treatment put on hold. I hope things get back to normal soon. The support I've seen on here lately is so amazing, and it makes me miss you all so much. Love you guys - can't wait to see each of you graduate soon.

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green-ish

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

I think we have a name of each agreed upon... so if we change our minds last minute we have zero backup!

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

Crazy crazy times right now. I’ve been WFH, DH got laid off, and we’re navigating the pandemic.

I love you all and root for you all! My heart goes out to all the IF ladies and I hope this craziness ends so soon for you all to move forward as planned and desired! ❤️

mercury94 · April 2020

*When were you on TTGP? February to July 2019

*How far along are you? 1 day PP This will be my last check-in.

*Which birth month board/due date? April ‘20 / EDD 4/11

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Her name is Lucy.

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

Lucy came into this very crazy world yesterday morning. I was induced on Monday so that I could get in and out of the hospital before things here got worse. Hoping to go home today. I’ve been cleared, but we’re waiting to hear from the pediatrician this morning. I can’t believe she’s here. And I’m really kind of sad to have hit the final check-in.

I want to thank this community for getting me through the hard times when I just wasn’t sure I would end up here. I love you ladies so much. TTGP is a truly special place on the internet. I have been so heartbroken seeing all the canceled cycles right now. I’ve been rooting so hard for you all and I hate that this stupid virus is delaying things more for anyone. I hope to see a mass exodus soon. IF is not fair and none of you deserve this struggle.

bows22 · April 2020

@mercury94 welcome to the world, little Lucy!! I’m so glad she’s here and that you will get to go home soon. Congratulations!! Holy cow did those 9 months fly. It doesn’t seem like you have been gone for that long!!

misshelen86 · April 2020

@mercury94 Congrats! Lucy is a beautiful name. Hope you get to go home very soon. Wishing you all the best!

*How far along are you? 12+3

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a name picked out that will work for either a boy or a girl. Will share once we know the baby's sex and have a confirmed middle name.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I hate that this stupid virus is putting a damper on so many of the ladies here, especially the ones going through IF treatment. As if this process wasn't stressful enough! I miss y'all so much, and am rooting so hard for all of you.
@feather_heather - congrats!!
@b_1029 - You are so far along! I'm so excited for you!
@mokay19 this goes to you, too!)

*Which birth month board/due date? November 2020 (though I’ve been struggling to be truly active there).

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a boys name we love that we didn’t use with DD. Girls names are hard for MH and I to agree on so not doing too much brainstorming on that until we find out what we are having.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share?
I’ve been having a hard time keeping up with TB with all the crazy going on lately. Praying we all get through these tough times in good health! We had a scare in our house as DD was diagnosed with pneumonia last Monday but we just got her Covid results this Monday evening and she was negative! Her cough is 95% gone so I think we’re doing well. Sending thoughts and prayers for all the front lines healthcare workers and for all you ladies who’ve had to cancel your cycle. Thinking of you all!!

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Echoing what everyone else has said here. My heart breaks for everyone on here whose treatments were cancelled or postponed because of all of this craziness. It's a really tough time for all of us out there who are struggling/have struggled with TTGP. As if it's not an unfair enough place to be to begin with. I hope to see a huge mass exodus when this all settles down. I am rooting so hard for all you ladies who I've grown to adore so much! I can't wait to not recognize any more names on here SOON! I hope you're all staying safe and healthy. Take care of yourselves!!! Miss you!

I've been lurking (as usual) and I am so impressed by the strength you've all shown during these wild times, despite how incredibly unfair it has been. I hope you know how much I (we) are rooting for you in the background.

I miss you all terribly and I can't wait to see more grads! ❤❤

*How far along are you? 16+ weeks

*Which birth month board/due date? September 2020

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Finding out May 8

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Waiting to find out sex

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

It’s a scary time to be pregnant, especially in our area. Being PGAL / IF gives me even more anxiety. Appointments are being cancelled or shortened to conserve medical supplies like masks, gowns, needles, etc. This week’s appointment and bloodwork were put off. I’m lucky to have bought a Doppler with my second pregnancy and that helps a little bit. Genetics show both babies have a normal risk for trisomies and we have our anatomy scan on 5/8, but DH isn’t allowed to go. Some hospitals in our tri state area are making women deliver alone. We wouldn’t normally do a sex reveal, but he and our family members need something to be excited about. We are growing and I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everyone stays safe.

Praying for all of you, especially our TTCAL and IF warrior ladies. We will never stop rooting for you!!

krystrist2014 · April 2020

@NYTino24 so sorry he can’t be there r your anatomy scan! Sending all the thoughts and prayers for you that this is all done with by the time you give birth so that there is no chance YH can’t be there.

hanshotfirst77 · April 2020

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

*How far along are you? 29+3

*Which birth month board/due date? June 21st

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. She has a name but keeping it under wraps until she is here.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Officially made it to 3rd tri last week!

I am thinking of all of you, especially my IF/loss ladies. I am so sorry to hear about all the canceled FETs, and other treatments. TTC, IF and loss are hard enough in the best of circumstances. My heart goes out to all you. Rooting for a mass exodus very very soon for all of you!

puppylove8910 · April 2020

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

*How far along are you? 15 days PP

*Which birth month board/due date? March 2020, 3/27 EDD, She arrived 3/24!

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Her name is Cora💗

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Cora arrived on 3/24 after a last minute induction. I was having prodromal labor for about a week and the anxiety of Covid19 was starting to affect her heart rate. The induction went smoothly (8 hrs in total, 20 minutes of pushing!). Recovery this time around has been so much easier! No tearing and no hemorrhoids. We have been in our little bubble ever since and I still can't believe I had a baby during a global pandemic.

Well this last check in is very bittersweet. It sort of feels like the end of an era as Cora completed our family. I was on the Bump for my TTGP journey with DS and obviously with DD. It's such a wonderful community and I will continue to lurk and root for each and every one of you!💗

Stay safe and healthy everyone!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it.
his name is William Allan 💙

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

Between high blood pressure and covid 19, my doctor decided to induce me at 37 weeks! I was in labor for about 25 hours and pushed for 35 minutes before we met our beautiful baby boy 💙 I was fortunate that I was able to have MH and my mom as support in the room. My mom was able to stay as a visitor up until our last day in the hospital, but she has been amazing with any problems I have had with PP fun.

My heart absolutely breaks for all of you that are having important appointments cancelled... hopefully we can get this pandemic moved out of here and you all can get your happy ending! I try to keep up, but TB has been a pain in my rear lately! Still rooting for all of you!

chichiphin · April 2020

How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? started May 2018

How far along are you? 2 weeks PP

Which birth month board/due date? Born March 26 - we were scheduled to induce on the 26 because of COVID concerns but labor started a day early. Unfortunately because she couldn’t descend & her heart rate kept dropping, I ended up with an emergency C. Had some BP issues afterward & blood loss issues. We are both finally healthy and home!

Team Pink/Blue/Green? pink

How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Audrey Elizabeth 💕

Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I’m heartbroken for those who cannot proceed because of COVID, and I hope it all passes quickly so cycles can start up again.

ziggymama06 · April 2020

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

*How far along are you? 20 weeks today!!

*Which birth month board/due date? Aug 2020, EDD 8/27

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink!!

*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Her name is Penelope Bernice. Bernice was my grandmother who helped raise me and we were very close.

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Had our anatomy scan was yesterday and she is growing and developing right on track! They checked her face and it doesn't look like she has a cleft lip (like my brother), so I'm relieved. MH was not able to come into the office with me, but they did let me videochat with him - although he really couldn't see very much through the screen. This is so not how I imagined my pregnancy going. I laugh at how we waited 12 years for the "perfect" time lol. Oh well, just grateful that she is healthy and developing as she should.

My heart aches for all of those whose treatments are delayed/cancelled. You girls are such warriors and it's so unfair to have another layer added. Stay strong ladies. I really feel for you as my SIL is in the same boat. We always imagined our babes being close in age, now who know's how long they are going to make her wait. We are getting hit really hard here in my area in NJ so I imagine it could be several months. Thinking of you girls and praying you all leave here soon!! Stay safe and well everyone

*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? It has been really weird and difficult navigating the end of this pregnancy with the state of the world. Baby boy was breech and thankfully he turned head down sometime since my previous appointment (a month ago). I was starting to get really scared of what a c-section would look like in a few weeks with the hospitals where they are at currently.

I am so sorry for everyone who's cycles' and TTC plans have been changed or canceled due to COVID. This shit is hard for everyone in their own ways. *hugs*
