My EDD is 8/31 :)

I have my first beta draw / progesterone check on the 27th. I feel like it CANNOT come soon enough!!!! I am just so nervous all the time and I feel like this will either help put my mind at ease, or at least let me know if something is going wrong. Otherwise I am just trying to fight PgAL brain at every turn.

 

Our big gift this year is a Disney World trip! We went 2 years ago at Christmas and it was miserable (REALLY crowded and awful) so we decided to make it a belated gift and go in February, which is the off - season. Hopefully itll be less busy and we can enjoy it more!

My EDD is September 2nd :)

We have first betas on Friday then Monday. I could call and move them up, but I'm scared to. Until then I'm just going to continue living in denial that anything could be wrong. I don't want bad news before Christmas.
QOTW- We are leaving to go to my family's house today, so we did Christmas yesterday for our little family. I wanted a flash for my camera, and Santa brought it to me :) I also got some hair products I have been wanting, but were too expensive to buy without guilt. DH did good :)

IVF, OHSS, PPROM, loss of twins at 23 weeks, and a FET to get my take home baby. Lilypie Third Birthday tickers
IVF cycle two=success! Hoping for another take home baby. Missed miscarriage at 9w4d. Here we go again....
IVF cycle three- transferred two and had NINE to freeze. BFP! Hoping this is our second rainbow baby.

I'm here!

EDD will be Aug 31 or Sept 1, for now. I will probably settle on an EDD after my first ultrasound.

I have my second beta draw today. My first was on Friday at 14dpo and came back at 134.

My loss history is in my siggy, but the bottom line is that I had two devastating losses in 2011 followed by infertility. This pregnancy is after my first medicated cycle on Femara.

Today is the first anniversary of my first EDD. Christmas Eve just doesn't quite have same magic anymore and I miss that baby so much still. Now, I'm also grateful for this new pregnancy.

QOTW: I'm hoping for a pair of earrings that I tried on a couple of months ago.


TTC #1 since January 2011

After RPL testing my losses and infertility are considered unexplained.
Cycle #22: Femara, TI, and progesterone = BFP!!
BFP#3 Dec 21, 2012. Beta #1 @14dpo = 134, progesterone 67.8
Beta #2 @ 17dpo = 664!

Due: August 31st or September 1st. FF says with my O date, 9/1. LMP 8/31.

History: BFP 4/9/12, EDD 12/22/12,  DX Low Progesterone 4/24/12 [supplements started] 1st U/S 5/23/12 at 9w4d, baby measured 8w2d with no HB. D&C 6/8/12.

Appointment:  My first appointment is scheduled for 1/17/13 as of right now..as a "pregnancy confirmation" appointment. I don't like that. I had a progesterone deficiency in my last pregnancy. I've been taking the supplements I had left on my refill roll at Walgreens since 2dpo. So hopefully this is a sticky baby. I keep POAS, and it keeps getting darker. I am praying my OB can move my appointment...I'm tempted to go to like Planned Parenthood or SOMETHING to get my levels checked. I don't know what else to do.

Best Gift: We are getting married 3/23/13, which is a great gift to me. Also, we are building a home and it should be done 6/1/13. Lots of excitement for 2013!

Merry Christmas ladies!! 

My EDD is September 5th

I had a lot of dreams last night that scared the crap outta me.  Dreams about m/c's and one about not actually being pg and that I just imagined the 2nd pink line.  I don't know if it was the prometrium or my PGAL brain (or a combination of both), but I'm trying really hard to shake off the feelings the dreams left me with this morning.

I will be starting betas on Wednesday.  To be honest, I hate getting betas done.  I do nothing but stress the.whole.entire.freaking.time. 

On a better note.  I'm pg today and I love my baby...takin' it one day at a time. :)

To answer the question, I'm hoping for a Silhoutte Cameo under the tree this year.  I love to craft and have been drooling over the Silhoutte for a while now.

I'm sorry that the anniversary of your first EDD is today on Christmas Eve.  Loss milestones are so difficult...especially around the holidays.  Thinking of you today and sending you a big HUG!

Can't your OB call in an order to the lab for your bloodwork without you having an appointment? Mine does this the day that I call to say I'm pg again. You shouldn't need an appoitment to get your levels checked. Hopefully your OB works with you on this if for nothing more then peace of mind. :)

Congrats on the upcoming wedding and new house...what a great year 2013 will be!

ac5008 - Thanks for posting the check in. I hope your first beta goes perfectly and that it allows you to start turning PGAL brain off. I'm learning that it's tough.

Lola104 - I totally understand not wanting bad news before Christmas. I'm keeping my FX that you get great news on Friday and Monday!

JordanL - Your previous BFP and EDD dates are really close to mine, but a year apart, and our possible EDDs are the same now. Congrats on your BFP and all of your other 2013 plans. Good luck getting an appointment to test your progesterone. I'm curious why they tested and found out it was low last time but they won't test this time? 

mattsgirl - I'm so sorry about the scary dreams. I had a crazy scary dream somewhere around 11dpo and now that I know I'm KU, I think that was a first sign. Mine wasn't loss related though. That would be a whole other thing. I hope your betas go well and provide you with some breathing room. I'm waiting for results right now, so I totally get the stress part of it. Also, thanks for the thoughts and hug. ((Hugs)) back to you.

Hello ladies.  

 My EDD is September 3rd.  This will be our second child.  I had a horrible dream last night about MC and all I can remember is all the blood.  It is so hard to stay positive when you have dreams like that.  I am really trying to enjoy the holiday and spend the time with my family.  Every twinge or cramp and I feel like I need to go to the bathroom and check for blood.  It is such a horrible feeling and I hate that any of us have to go through that.

I have no tests scheduled and I have not even called the doctor to tell them I am pregnant yet.  I am not sure if I want to call and get the betas done or just wait it out and see what happens.   

Our big Christmas gift this year will be a trip to California for a week.  We will be going the end of January.  I have never been to Cali before so I am super excited and my LO loves to fly so it should be lots of fun.

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and we are all back here next week for another check in.

My EDD is 9/3/13.

I don't have a Dr. appointment yet. Sad I tried calling the office today to schedule, but they're closed. Boo! I'm not sure if my doctor will want to do betas or not. While I'm really happy to be pregnant, I feel so worried that something bad is going to happen again. When DH and I talk about it, I catch myself saying "Hopefully next year if we have a baby" instead of just "When we have a baby." I know it's just PGAL brain and I'm hoping to feel more comforted once I get a good u/s.

I didn't really think of anything that I really wanted for Christmas and MH and I aren't exchanging gifts. BUT, we're going to Hawaii at the end of January to celebrate our 2 year anniversary. Yay!

My EDD is Sept. 5th, 2013.

I had a devastating missed miscarriage in October. I thought everything was going great and went to my first prenatal. Ultrasound showed a baby measuring 6 weeks 1 day (which I knew wasn't right based on timing as I was supposed to be 8.5 weeks) with no heartbeat. :( I had a D&C on October 30th and was told to wait one cycle before trying again.

I haven't made my first appt. yet but my doctor said she wants me to come in at 6.5 weeks for bloodwork and an ultrasound to make sure everything is okay. I am going to be a nervous wreck that day!!!

Hmm...I don't have anything special that I want for Christmas. I told my husband that I just want a BFP and that happened! :-D

Hi there!

EDD: I'm not 100% sure, but my phone app says August 30th. 

Upcoming Appointment: We scheduled our first OB ultrasound on January 9th. I'm very very nervous for this appointment and praying to hear a heartbeat that day!

Gifts: DH and I opened our gifts to each other today. He got me two boxes of Keurig coffee and a k-cup holder! :) He told me he didn't know that I couldn't drink coffee until after he bought them. He also got me some fun movies and a fondue set that I wanted. The ideal gift is of course the BFP!
