[codex320]

Thanks for the check-in specter!

How far along are you? 27 weeks + 2 days
How are you feeling? Feeling good, just tired.
Have any important dr. appts? Appointment next week is for the glucose test.

QOTW: What's for dinner tonight? Such a good question. Probably leftovers unless DH wants something different.

[king26]

Thanks for the check in! I feel like I'm in the final count down and it's making me nervous. I've been super busy even though I'm not working. I just want everything finished! I'm currently 35+2

I had my first u/s in 11 weeks today and saw baby boy. However, he is totally scrunched up in my uterus. I feel like he's running out of room in there poor guy. They managed to measure everything and he is measuring a week ahead and looks to be about 6 pounds! EEEEK! He is head down, SUPER low in my uterus, and ready to roll.

specter, Can you please add me? Tag is home2sara Thanks! Answers are below:

Newbie
What is your EDD? 3/9/18
Do you know the gender? No but we will find out.
How many babies are you expecting? 2
What was your diagnosis? DOR and possible poor egg quality
What treatment worked for you to finally get your BFP? FET after IVF #1 w/ DE.


How far along are you? 7 weeks today
How are you feeling? eh mostly good but I have some bad moments with nausea and today I have a headache and sore jaw (must have been grinding my teeth last night).
Have any important dr. appts? We graduated from our RE! I am sad because I absolutely adore my RE and case manager but it will be nice to have things covered under insurance again. I called my normal OBGYN and have an intake phone call Monday and then they will make me an U/S appointment.

Both babies measured at 7 weeks. We got to see the heart beats yesterday. It was so emotional and amazing. Both MH and I teared up. We shared the news with our families so that felt really great. Everyone is just ecstatic. They all know what a hard road this has been. We still have a long way to go and definitely not in the clear yet but the heart beats was a big step for us. We are just hoping things go smoothly from here on out.

QOTW: I don't know. Dinner is not my strong meal. I usually start feeling sick around 6 so I try to eat a little something around 5 in case I don't end up being able to eat after that. We are getting together with some close friends tonight so we may eat out, not sure.

Dogpaddle29 - I feel like I missed that your expecting twins! Congrats!

[crazycatlady6]

Dogpaddle29- OMG!!!! I'm so excited for you!!!

king26 - home stretch! So excited for you to meet your little man in a few weeks.

specter - thanks for the check-in!

I'm not on here much these days since the mass exodus from the other place but I wanted to check-in and say hi. I'm still very salty about what went down and hesitant to post more since who knows when parenting will throw another hissy and relocate again.

My little man will be 5 months on Tuesday! The first 2 months were forever and the past 3 have flown by. I never returned to work after maternity leave and am loving being a stay-at-home mom!

He is doing fabulous, he is rolling over from both tummy to back and back to tummy. He has a severe case of FOMO and will not nap in public. He does have torticollis and plagiocephaly (flat spot in head) that we are trying to determine if he needs a helmet for. The neurologist said no because there is not any science backing up the helmet and the shape will come around eventually but his head will never be symmetrical either way. He has been going to PT since he has been 5 weeks old and is doing so well with it, he is looking to the left with a lot more ease.

QOTW: tonight was separate dinners since I've been battling a headache and slept through dinner. Tomorrow will be tacos.

specter, Can you add me please?

What is your EDD? Jan 31

Do you know the gender? Waiting on results on the Panorama test...

How many babies are you expecting? One

What was your diagnosis? Anovulatory PCOS (non-IR)

What treatment worked for you to finally get your BFP? 7.5 mg Femara and TI

We are just over 12 weeks and baby is measuring right on track. Our NT scan this week showed normal measurements so they are saying low risk even after what we went through with Ava (for those who don't know Ava had several birth defects but no chromosome issues they could find and no official diagnosis other than Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia). We did the Panorama test this week so hoping they are able to get enough fetal DNA from my blood to give us more information and of course the gender.
