Hey there! Congrats on the BFP!
I’m going to tentatively intro. This will be a different pregnancy for me because I’m carrying as a gestational surrogate. We’ve had a LONG road with a chemical pregnancy in June, a failed transfer in August, an ERA (uterine) biopsy in October, and we just did another transfer last week.
But all that leads me to some marvelous looking pregnancy tests and great line progression so I’m feeling hopeful!! Betas on Monday and Wednesday. Due date would be around 7/31.
Would love to hang out here with you and anyone else who comes along! I have an October 2014 son and an August 2019 daughter and have enjoyed having a bmb to chat with along the way.

Hi friendofdobby and congrats! That’s wonderful that you are a surrogate. I have a friend that has done it one time and is in the process of attempting a sibling for the same family. Please let me know if I ever use incorrect language or anything with regard to the process- I don’t know much about it! I estimate my EdD is 7/25 so right around the same time as you! I just scheduled my first appt on 12/14 and expect I should be around 8 weeks at that time. It’s our third kid, and I have 2 girls- almost 7 and just turned 3.

Thank you! I can’t figure out your tag.
Exciting that you have a first appointment on the books! Have you told your girls the news yet or are you guys waiting?

We are waiting, at least until after my first appointment, maybe longer. I am fortunate in that I have no history of loss, but I’m still older with this pregnancy and there is still a chance. I think ideally I would rather wait until 2nd tri to tell them, but we will see. I will probably have to tell my coworkers earlier if I start feeling as bad as I did in my last pregnancy. Last time I had to tell them at 7 weeks or so which was a bit nerve wracking.

My first ultrasound is on Monday. Should be 6w2d according to my IVF calculator. Intended parents will hopefully be on FaceTime and I’m so hoping all looks good.

And onyx, how are things going with you? My nausea has ramped up and I am miserable a lot of the time. Unisom and B6 nightly is helping, but ugh, seems like I am getting a repeat of my pregnancy with DD2. Just tryign to make it to Monday when I have my first appointment, with hopefully a U/S to check out what's going on at 8 weeks. I feel super pregnant already at 7 weeks, and am wearing maternity pants at work today. It's probably all bloat but wow.

thatgolfb It went so well!! Little belly buddy measured exactly on track and we saw the heartbeat. Intended parents were on FaceTime and it was such a happy moment. I’m sorry you’re struggling in the nausea. I’m not feeling great either. It’s not horrible for me but low level kind of all day and amping up in the afternoon/evening. Plus I have some dental pain happening right now that’s shooting up to my ear soooooo. Yeah. Not sure what I’m gonna do about that so I’m burying my head in the sand for now and hoping it goes away. I hope your ultrasound goes well next week - let us know. onyx I hope things are going ok for you too!

Hi! I’m good. Still feel pretty normal outside of my breasts hurting like crazy. Counting down until my ultrasound. Progesterone was good (I’ll still be on capsules and suppositories through first tri) and HCG is doubling properly. So no more testing for now. My biggest obstacle is not giving in to anxiety right now.

Can I just jump in? I found out I was pregnant a couple of days ago. I had a mmc the last time I was pregnant (in 2013). I have a 13 year old DS and a 9 year old SS.
Based on my dates I’m due about 8/4. First ultrasound is 1/14 and I’m a ball of nerves until then. I’m cautiously optimistic.

I'll jump in too if that's ok? I got a very faint bfp yesterday at 9dpo and a nice strong line this morning at 10dpo. I have a January 2014 daughter and a June 2019 daughter. I had 2 MMCs between my girls and a chemical in September so I'm hoping this little peanut is a fighter. I'm also older (41) so I'm crossing everything this little one sticks around! My EDD is August 27, but I'll be an RCS so will likely deliver earlier so long as this nugget stays put. I will be a constant ball of stress until we get through the first US and NIPT but I'm sure I'll calm down somewhere around 30 weeks...

Well, I’m in a support group IRL for infertility & loss. They, of course, know I’m pregnant. One of them gave me a gift and posted me with the gift and said “first one in our group to have a rainbow baby.” On Instagram and Facebook.
I am furious. We don’t have many outside mutual friends but still those few now know and are messaging me to congratulate me and I’m trying not to just lose my temper, but wtaf.

onyx I'm so so sorry someone did this to you! I think my head would explode. That is NOT ok. Can you have them take the posts down (I know the damage is already done...but at least it might make them realize what an insensitive and stupid thing that was to do). I do not understand what goes on in some people's heads...you would think they would know better. I'm so sorry you're having to deal with this!

But unfortunately, enough saw it. At this point, it’s just me cooling down. But at this moment I’m furious.

Yikes onyx - I'm sorry. I don’t understand people who feel it’s ok to share intimate private news on SM without checking in with someone first.

How is everyone doing today?
My test line is as dark as the control line today (12dpo) so I'm starting to feel slightly calmer. I called my doctor and have a phone appointment for Wednesday so I'll likely get bloodwork sometime this week...

Well, I ended up at the ER from a seizure so that’s the bad news. Good news is baby is measuring perfect with a HR of 128.
