Hey ladies!! I've been lurking for a while, but am jumping in now!! Based on online calculators my due date is Jan 25.
My H and I have a 2 year old DD - she's also a Jan baby! Somehow, after many months of trying, right before American Craft Beer week has always been our lucky week....go figure lol
Had my first betas drawn last Monday and had a repeat drawn Thursday morning thanks to an out of town work meeting Wednesday. Progesterone was checked on Monday also and was at 16, but given my history my OB started me on supplements 2x/day. I'm hoping to get a call today regarding the beta levels and to see if they are going to do a third draw. My first appt is scheduled for June 14.
So I referenced my "history".....with my first pregnancy my progesterone was low (read 4) so I was on supplements through week 14. I bled throughout the entire first trimester and the cause really isn't definite - possible progesterone, 2 SCH, but neither was very large, or fibroids. The most likely culprit was the fibroids - definitely not looking forward to that again!! I also had a loss in March 2016.
Looking forward to getting to know you ladies!! H&H 9 months to all!!

Welcome! I'm glad to hear they're taking care of the progesterone issues this time. Also the bleeding must've been scary, here's to hoping you have a less worrying pregnancy this time!

Obvious new question - how do I get my profile pic to show up? It's there when I go to my account but not showing up on my posts?? Thanks to insomnia I was awake from 1-3 and set up my account, then slept through my alarm lol

WELCOME! now please, if you will, tell me all about how maternity leave worked for you with a January delivery! I'm so curious!
My anniversary date for my job is Feb 1 so I stockpiled all of my vacation time and I took my full 12 weeks of FMLA. I don't remember how many weeks I had "paid" via emptying my PTO bank, but I want to say it was around 5? And then used short term disability for 6 week (section). So for the majority of it, I was "paid." Now, for the rest of the year I had no paid time off at all, which totally sucked.
My company has since changed their PTO system and its accrued instead of front loaded, so I will have what when I go out and will be paid out that amount, then when I go back to work I will accrue time off. Which will be awesome compared to last time!
Did that answer your question or did I totally ramble in the wrong direction?
