Thanks for running the check-in.  All my thoughts and prayers are with you ladies and hoping to see lots of success in 2013.

Update: I'm 14w4d today, had a great NT scan, and just finished announcing to extended family over the holidays, and announced on FB today.  Felt really weird, but it seemed like a good time (and it was the longest I could put my husband off for!).  I'm feeling pretty good except for constant headaches/migraines and severe constipation.  But I'll take it!

How is everyone else doing?

Hello ladies! I am 27 weeks today with 11 weeks to go (I need to deliver at 38 weeks)!! It still hasn't set in that I'm having a baby sometimes. My IL's and friends don't really understand why I feel that way, but IF and PGAL really screws with your head! I have been feeling pretty good, other than being sick as a dog this last week:-(

My baby shower is January 19th, DH and I are going to Jamaica on the 5th for our babymoon, and we both have three weeks of vacation time off together right now! So, lots of good things happening this month!

I wish all of you ladies a wonderful 2013 and hope that a new year brings all of you over to PAIF!!

I think this check in is such a great idea!  Thanks for setting it up!  As for me, I am 12 weeks and 3 days today.  As you can see by my signature we are excited to be expecting twins this summer!  I was released from my RE about 4 weeks ago and have my first appointment with my new OB (really a MFM) on Thursday.  That should be a big appointment, and the first time we get to see the babes since 8 weeks or so, so I am very excited!  We have told our families (most of them at Christmas) and we're planning to "come out" to everyone else after the appointment on Thursday assuming everything looks good.  I have been very fortunate so far and other than morning sickness haven't had any bad experiences or worrisome issues yet.  

Best wishes to everyone here!  This board was an invaluable source of community and support for me for many months and got me through this journey in ways people could never truly appreciate!

Happy New Year ladies!!

I am 30 weeks 5 days today. It's so surreal how small amount of time I have left. I had my glucose tolerance test last week and failed the one hour, not by much, and did my three hour test Friday. I'm just waiting for results to see what to do from here. I'm up to two week appointments instead of four, have a 3D u/s scheduled in two weeks, my final shower in three weeks, and maternity pictures in four weeks! I've started washing things this weekend and organizing everything I've gotten so far. I've got one more thing to hang on the wall and the nursery is complete.

I hope 2013 is THE year for you all! Good luck with upcoming cycles!

Happy New Year ladies!!!

im hoping that 2013 is full of BFPs and that we are seeing you over on PAIF soon.

im doing great. My pregnancy continues to be easy (knock on wood). I feel so lucky. DH and I found out Christmas morning that we are having a little girl!!! I can't wait to meet her. Other than that we've started the daycare search, which I hope to wrap up by the end of January. Also done registries for my shower in February. That's about 90% done. 

Again, I hope to see you all soon :)

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a year filled with BFPs!

Things are good on this end.  We found out right before Christmas that we are having a boy.  I have been a shopping maniac since then and taking advantage of all the after Christmas sales for our little guy.  Working on picking out nursery bedding and names now.  I go back for my monthly checkup on Friday, but all has been good so far.

All is well with me.  We had a heartbeat only OB appointment on Monday, and the baby's heart rate was 145, and very clear!  I was so nervous because I don't feel any movement yet but I look kind of huge (I think that's due to my vanishing twin, but regardless I've gained about 10 pounds).  Anatomy scan is set for 21 weeks and DH and I are definitely going to find out the sex, but are thinking of waiting until 30 weeks to open the envelope, but who knows how I'll feel that day!  We always thought we'd be team green but that was 3 years ago and we figured we've waited long enough!  I think of all of you every day and pray for you success!

Thanks for running the check-in.  T&P are with you ladies! Wishing you all lots of success in 2013.

Our hx: MFI from retrograde ejaculation after multiple bladder & prostate surgeries for DH; bilaterally obstructed tubes per HSG after 3 failed IUIs. Endometriosis dx. We did IVF with ICSI & AH.

Our current pregnancy: 19 weeks today. It's a girl !!!!! Due May 28th. 

Everyone asks me, "How are you feeling?" All I can say is, "Grateful." I can feel kicks now, and I am grateful for every minute of this pregnancy.

Always praying for you ladies!!!

Update: today I'm 14w4d. I am overweight and never thought I'd ever feel a baby bump. Turns out, I can! I love it! I don't look pregnant and don't think I will until the very end, but at least my DH and I can tell the difference and that's all that matters! Friday I go in for my early glucose test and hoping I pass! And on feb 12 we find out if we are team blue or pink! Can't believe how fast time flies!!!

I am late to the party! I am 13w3d today. Yay 2nd tri! Both twins seem to be doing great. We had a slight scare with Baby B at the NT Scan, but after the bloodwork all seems to be good. My risk of downs is higher than the average for my age so we are doing much better. Still going to wait and see if my OB/MFM recommends the amnio or not.

Almost our whole families know. Some friends know too. We were going to announce on FB yesterday, but I haven't been able to meet up with my one BFF who knows the struggle we had, etc. So I am meeting her for lunch today and then we will decide about the whole FB thing.

Hi ladies! I also ditto so many others sentiments that I keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers for success soon!!! I also lurk here and try to keep up to date on what's going on!

I'm almost 18 weeks....I can't believe it! It's been going so fast and it's so hard to believe that I have just over 5 months to my due date!! Nothing much to report at this point, just standard doctor appointments. I did get my NT scan results which were scan negative, so that's good.

I'm next looking forward to January 14 when we have our anatomy scan and will hopefully find out this LO's gender. I did start to feel these muscle twitch type movements right before 16 weeks so that's pretty exciting. They are very sporadic at this point, but definitely consistent enough to know it's baby. Looking forward to DH being able to feel from outside!!!

Anniversary
We are both 32 and have been TTC since October 2010. Dx unexplained. BFN on 5 IUI's
IVF#1 - ER 09/14/12, ET 09/17/12: two 8 cells, BFP: 9/28 Beta#1 56.8; 10/2 Beta#2 284; 10/5 Beta#3 939; 10/9 Beta #4 4967. Ultrasounds 1 and 2 revealed one embryo with nice heartbeat! EDD 06/07/13

ShelleyBQ:

Thanks for running the check-in.  All my thoughts and prayers are with you ladies and hoping to see lots of success in 2013.

Update: I'm 14w4d today, had a great NT scan, and just finished announcing to extended family over the holidays, and announced on FB today.  Felt really weird, but it seemed like a good time (and it was the longest I could put my husband off for!).  I'm feeling pretty good except for constant headaches/migraines and severe constipation.  But I'll take it!

How is everyone else doing?

 

Yay for announcing the news!!! Hope you feel better soon!

I think about ya'll all the time and keep track of what's going on!

Update for me:  I'm 13 weeks today and doing well.  We have another u/s and OB appt on Monday.  MH and I are meeting tomorow with a lady who I'd like to use as a doula and is also teaching our labor/delivery classes.  We told the rest of our family and friends about the baby over the holidays which was fun. 

Hope your doula meeting went well. We have a family friend that is a doula and I always thought she had an interesting job!

Hello ladies! I am 27 weeks today with 11 weeks to go (I need to deliver at 38 weeks)!! It still hasn't set in that I'm having a baby sometimes. My IL's and friends don't really understand why I feel that way, but IF and PGAL really screws with your head! I have been feeling pretty good, other than being sick as a dog this last week:-(

My baby shower is January 19th, DH and I are going to Jamaica on the 5th for our babymoon, and we both have three weeks of vacation time off together right now! So, lots of good things happening this month!

I wish all of you ladies a wonderful 2013 and hope that a new year brings all of you over to PAIF!! 

Those 11 weeks will go so fast I bet....have fun in Jamaica!!!

Enndea:

I think this check in is such a great idea!  Thanks for setting it up!  As for me, I am 12 weeks and 3 days today.  As you can see by my signature we are excited to be expecting twins this summer!  I was released from my RE about 4 weeks ago and have my first appointment with my new OB (really a MFM) on Thursday.  That should be a big appointment, and the first time we get to see the babes since 8 weeks or so, so I am very excited!  We have told our families (most of them at Christmas) and we're planning to "come out" to everyone else after the appointment on Thursday assuming everything looks good.  I have been very fortunate so far and other than morning sickness haven't had any bad experiences or worrisome issues yet.  

Best wishes to everyone here!  This board was an invaluable source of community and support for me for many months and got me through this journey in ways people could never truly appreciate! 

Yay twins, congrats!!

Hi ladies!  I peak in here all the time, checking up on everyone.

I am half baked this week!  Can't believe it.  18 more weeks to go! (I'll only go to 38 weeks with twins if I make it that far).  Started working on registry items (so overwhelmed!)

Happy New Year to everyone and many BFP wishes to you all!

Oooh have fun with the registry, hope you get some really cute things :)

Happy New Year ladies!!

I am 30 weeks 5 days today. It's so surreal how small amount of time I have left. I had my glucose tolerance test last week and failed the one hour, not by much, and did my three hour test Friday. I'm just waiting for results to see what to do from here. I'm up to two week appointments instead of four, have a 3D u/s scheduled in two weeks, my final shower in three weeks, and maternity pictures in four weeks! I've started washing things this weekend and organizing everything I've gotten so far. I've got one more thing to hang on the wall and the nursery is complete.

I hope 2013 is THE year for you all! Good luck with upcoming cycles!

Sounds like you're going to be pretty busy the next few weeks :)

Happy New Year ladies!!!

im hoping that 2013 is full of BFPs and that we are seeing you over on PAIF soon.

im doing great. My pregnancy continues to be easy (knock on wood). I feel so lucky. DH and I found out Christmas morning that we are having a little girl!!! I can't wait to meet her. Other than that we've started the daycare search, which I hope to wrap up by the end of January. Also done registries for my shower in February. That's about 90% done. 

Again, I hope to see you all soon :) 

What a fun day to find out the gender, congrats on your little girl!!

Happy New Year! Wishing you all a year filled with BFPs!

Things are good on this end.  We found out right before Christmas that we are having a boy.  I have been a shopping maniac since then and taking advantage of all the after Christmas sales for our little guy.  Working on picking out nursery bedding and names now.  I go back for my monthly checkup on Friday, but all has been good so far. 

 

Yay for a little boy, congrats!!
