Hey guys, this should be my last check in. If anyone wants to take over, you are more than welcome! I can't believe I'm here!
1. How far are you now? 39w 6d
2. Symptom check: tired and is anxious a symptom? I'm so ready to meet baby!
3. What and when is your next appointment? Tomorrow
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I scheduled an induction for this week. The hospital called on Saturday and said I was scheduled to come in on Tuesday, tomorrow. That would be awesome since it is my due date but I want to confirm. Since I have my regular OB appointment with a growth u/s also tomorrow, I should find out what time we need to go to L&D. We also have to install the car seat, drop our pup off at my moms, and finish packing/cleaning the house. The plan was to go on the market this coming weekend!! We shall see about that.

codex320, yay! So close. 33w, 4d I'm so very sore. I'm not going to lie, it's so much harder on my body with a toddler. My back is just killing me. Also, I've been puking a lot at night. I can't really eat dinner right now. 3. Thursday for an NST and fluid check. 4. I got baby boy's room organized so I know where everything is. I still need to a do a little bit more, but at least some of it can wait. I need to bust out nursing clothes and what not. Also get laundry together. Hard to believe I've got about 5 weeks left. Basically after DD's 2nd b-day (5th) I'm not really making many plans.....

Life keeps getting in the way! How far along are you now? 18+1 Symptom check: dealing with high BP still, but the medication is helping a lot. Mostly just headaches and feeling beyond exhausted. What and when is your next appointment? Nov 2 with the MFM for what will probably end up being another anatomy scan (we did ours at 16 weeks due to last pregnancy's issues). And then with the OB on Nov 16. They want to stagger the appointments so I see someone every two weeks. Nothing else to share today. codex320, sending you all the good labor vibes! Dogpaddle29, congrats on team purple! Rama, sorry about the nausea!! I hope you feel better soon! |

1. How far are you now? 37+2
2. Symptom check: Feeling big and tired, but good. I was up for about 4 hours Saturday night into Sunday with contractions, but they didn’t amount to anything and nothing since.
3. What and when is your next appointment? Regular ob appointment in Thursday. I’m supposed to have a growth ultrasound but no call about that yet.
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? My induction is scheduled for 10/30! I’ll be admitted to the hospital to start with cervadil the night of the 29th and pitocin will start the next morning.

Hi! I am officially ready to join the check ins! Not sure if baby is a boy or girl yet, but we have always said 'her'. I got pregnant after 3 years and our first IVF cycle. We transferred 2, 3 day embryos. Thrilled that one has decided to stay with us! Previously we had done letrozole for 6 cycles, 3 hybrid cycles, 1 injection cycle, and 1 IUI. 1. How far are you now? 8 weeks, 1 day. My EDD is May 28, 2018. 2. Symptom check: Insomnia and dry heaving every morning. Anxiety of course, because this is so new. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Next Friday, first OB appointment with the Nurse Practitioner. 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? Just that I am very excited to be here, finally! We saw our baby yesterday and she was growing and gorgeous and had a heart rate of 168! |

1. How far are you now? 35 weeks tomorrow 2. Symptom check: Feeling large lately, otherwise I still feel pretty good. 3. What and when is your next appointment? Appt with the OB next Thursday 4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? I went to l & d last Wednesday because the peanut's movements had changed dramatically. Of course everything checked out ok and I found out 2 things during the ultrasound. a) this kid is already a chunky monkey at 5lb 13oz b)we're team blue. The tech thought she heard me say he so she said you know you're having a boy right. I told her I didn't and she then tried to back track. I said I'm 34 weeks it's either there or it's not  . I thought I would be more upset about someone slipping but on the other hand MH is getting more excited now that he can imagine life with a baby boy and I'm starting to bond more thinking about what it will be like to raise a boy. |

bethkate, is the induction just scheduled in case you don't do into labor on your own? Or for some risk reason? Just curious.

bethkate , is the induction just scheduled in case you don't do into labor on your own? Or for some risk reason? Just curious. , that's probably a good thing. It's hard to predict which ones might fit. I recommend a couple of sleeping sports bra types and them wait until your milk settles in to what is comfy and what size you are. Most of the ones I bought in advance didn't fit/weren't comfy. |

kensie5226, definitely good to know. I just got two sleeping bras from target. I tried them on and they seemed pretty comfy. I'm just not a big shopper in general so that's part of the reason for that.

codex320, I guess I go here now? I'm like five minutes pregnant, but I figure I could use the support and mantras 1. Your EDD: June 25 2. How many, if you know, beans you have cooking? Transferred 2, but numbers suggest a singleton - we'll find out early November 3. Boy or girl (if you know) or team green if you're not finding out? Finding out! 4. What treatment got you your BFP? Fresh transfer on first round of IVF

I was diagnosed with a dvt back in August and I’m on a super high dose of blood thinners, so the induction will hopefully allow us to control when I take my last dose of meds prior to delivery. |

**lurker from TTTC** Hello, friends! I've posted an MFI-related poll/question on TTTC and thought grad feedback would be super helpful too (basically, DH's SAs were super inconsistent and I am wondering what others' treatments were based on their SA results). Fun clickety-clicking awaits you here: link Thank you so much!! |

1. How far are you now? 7,4
2. Symptom check: Nausea, occasional puking, insomnia, exhaustion. Basically, 1st tri really sucks.
3. What and when is your next appointment? November 27 for ultrasound and OB - I'll be 12 weeks.
4. Anything you’d like to share with the group? We had our first ultrasound this week and we have one little peanut in there. I also had my first appointment with the new OBGYN practice I picked and I really loved the nurse practitioner I saw, so I have a good feeling about my choice.

I had no idea pregnancy insomnia even existed. It takes me an hour to fall asleep then I wake up every hour. How is everyone doing today? We hit the nine week mark tomorrow. I've been feeling a little anxious. My breasts aren't sore anymore but I'm wondering if it is the fact that the placenta starts picking up around week 8. |
