Re: TTGP Grad Check-in February 2021
Hello friends! ❤️
How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Aug 2019 - Oct 2020 with 2 losses in between.
*How far along are you? 21+1 😁
*Which birth month board/due date? June BMB, June 14th, 2021
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Blue
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. So me and DH have narrowed it down between 2 names for this little guy. We have 2 full names picked out with middle names etc, but my husband wants to see first what he looks like and pick a name based off what suits him. So he won’t have a FOR SURE name until he’s born. I’m happy with both names we have picked out but I like one name just a little bit more then the other so im hoping that we pick that one LOL
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had my anatomy scan 2 weeks ago now and it went great 😁 Dr said all of the babies organs and legs and arms etc look perfect and healthy and normal. He also has a great amount of fluid around him and my placenta and cervix look great. This Baby is as healthy as a Ox 😆 I’m so happy and relieved to know that all is well as I was nervous about it. Im happy to be past that big milestone so i can relax a bit and enjoy this pregnancy. Im feeling great most days and this pregnancy is going smoothly so far and I hope it continues to the end. Also been able to start feeling the baby move and kick lately which is cool 🥰
I hope all you ladies are doing well and I keep love titting, lurking and rooting you guys on for more graduates coming up ❤
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? Mar 20 - July 20 & Sept 20 - Jan 21
*How far along are you? 7w3d
*Which birth month board/due date? Sept 21 EDD 9/18
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? undecided! We were team green for DS and it was so fun and easy but this time around I am struggling with whether or not to find out.
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Terrible. We really struggled with this the first time and the name we went with was a family name. We don't have any other family names we like for a boy and for a girl our top choice is Jane.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had an early u/s last week per my RE (and graduated the RE 🎉) but the heart rate was low and there was a small SCH so I go back next week to check the heart rate again and make sure the SCH hasn't gotten bigger. The heart rate is concerning so I'm just hoping it was still early. The all day nausea has been awful but a bit reassuring. I ordered a onesie from Etsy that says "made with love and a little bit of letrozole" but we probably wont share on SM until closer to 20wks.
DS: 6/1/18 (Pre-E; IUGR; seizures; NICU)
TTC #2: 12/2019
Sept 2020: HSG possible blocked right tube
Nov 2020: Letrozole + TI - BFN

How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? April 2019-Nov 2020
*How far along are you? 14 weeks 2 days
*Which birth month board/due date? August 1st
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Green
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a unisex name chosen: Finley. I mentioned last month that it is a family name, but I think it's cute regardless. We told our family, even though I knew it was risky. So far it has been well- recieved. It's nice that people can call the baby a name without knowing the sex.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? NIPT results came back low risk, which has really helped me accept this pregnancy. It's strange to be done with the RE and to be considered a "normal" pregnancy now.
I still lurk here a lot and think about you ladies. I love being able to share my knowledge and experience, so please reach out if I can ever help with anything!

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team Pink x2!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've held firm so far on Baby B's name, so it looks like we have them finally picked! At this point, I might let it be a surprise overall haha. My MiL is DYING to know, so that's been entertaining. I'm also really enjoying letting my friends and loved ones venture guesses. They've all been pretty close, but not on the mark quite yet.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Hi friends!!! I'm so excited to get to post my check-in this month! I'm feeling it HARD that this is one of my last ones! The girls are doing well, hanging out inside me happily enough haha. They like to kick each other rather than me, which is interesting! The nursery is close to done, we're basically just nesting the rest of the house now. (I bleached the kitchen this weekend
!)
Overall, it's pretty mind blowing that we're so close to meeting our girls. MH pointed out that we're a month away and it's the shortest month of the year haha!
As always, I'm here lurking, hoping for some more grads soon! Sending everyone all of my love and all of the positive vibrations for some good upcoming cycles!

*How far along are you? 19w3d
*Which birth month board/due date? June BMB, June 26th
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Team pink!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We've picked a first name, but we're still working on her middle name. Planning on keeping it to ourselves until she's born. It's driving my family NUTS not knowing what her name is.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I had my early anatomy scan a couple weeks ago and things looked really good! That helped ease a lot of my anxieties and I'm really happy to be past that milestone. I started weekly progesterone injections to prevent preterm labor last week so we're -really- hoping to make it to my scheduled c-section date at 36 weeks this time. So far things have been really good despite my anxieties and I have a lot of hope that they'll stay that way!
I'm forever lurking and am ALWAYS excited to see more grads. I have so much hope for all of you and I'm sending good vibes your way!

*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 12/2019-12/2020
*How far along are you? 8+5
*Which birth month board/due date? Sep21 (9/11 due date)
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Green!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Haven’t even started yet haha...we will get there eventually
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? I graduated from the RE last week, but they did find a small-medium SCH. So my OB is now keeping a close eye on it. It’s gotten significantly smaller in the past week, so hopefully that continues! We still haven’t told anyone the news other than one of my friends who knew we were going through the IF process, so that’s next on our list. I think we are planning to tell our families this weekend and I’m so excited.
I miss you all and lurk in here constantly! Keeping my fingers crossed for every single one of you for some more grad announcements soon!!
How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? 3-10/20
Sending good vibes to you all, especially those of you with upcoming treatments ♥️
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? March-October 2019, February-May 2020
*How far along are you? Five weeks PP tomorrow!
*Which birth month board/due date? January 2021 which moved to FB, due date was 1/8 and she was born 1/15! I was induced at 40+5. Labor was long with several induction steps and barely any progress for 24 hours but delivery was surprisingly very fast, I only pushed for 45 mins and didn’t tear! Pushing was always what I was most worried about so I was pleasantly surprised/shocked.
*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Pink
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. Beverly Hope ❤️ - first name is for H’s mom, middle name is for my great grandmother and also the state motto of Rhode Island where my family is from
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? Sorry for being MIA last month! It’s so crazy to think of where I was a year ago, while snuggling a baby! We were benched because we’d traveled to a Zika country and I was making the most of not thinking about TTC as much for a couple months, and our sights were set on an IUI in April 2020 - which I basically saw as our only hope because IVF didn’t seem financially possible. I had completely given up hoping that things would happen naturally each month. Even if a surprise natural BFP doesn’t happen for many, my fingers and toes are crossed that however it happens, many more of you will soon get to look back at your TTGP months/years as a far-off memory, while holding a sweet baby in your arms. ❤️
*How long were you active on TTGP and when (minimum of 3 months)? oct 2019- oct 2020

*Team Pink/Blue/Green? Blue!
*How are you doing picking out a name? Feel free to share it. We have a name and a middle name! We have shared first name with friends and family, his name is Jude. Middle name just got decided but will probably wait in case we change our minds lol.
*Questions, concerns or other? Anything else exciting to share? The nursery is coming along and baby shower is scheduled for a few weeks from now. Hard to believe third trimester is just weeks away.
I miss so many of you here! I am cheering you on and sending all the well wishes!
