MinaE01 – DS1born at 32w3d due to PTL. DS2 born at 36w0d due to PTL. Baby #3 due 3/30/15. Anatomy scan went well. Baby is on the petite side but not a concern. Low lying placenta will be monitored along with cervical length.

CURRENTLY TTC:
jense927 –DS was born at 31 weeks due to a placental abruption. RE appt. scheduled.

Had a cervical length check on Monday. At my 20w4d, it was 3.5cm and at 23w4d, it was measuring 2.4 cm on average (they took a few measurements and got a range of 2.1-2.6cm). OB was not alarmed but it is concerning. I go back in 2 weeks to check again. Baby is breech and no change in low-lying placenta but I'm hoping both of those correct themselves.

Still keeping the sex a secret from everyone

[jense927]

Thanks for starting minae01, glad to hear your OB is not alarmed and hope that the next check looks okay!

I am kind of a mess this cycle. DS just turned 2 which means the age gap just keeps increasing. Also I have had a very easy time tracking my cycles and knowing O but this cycle has been a mess. I don't know when I O'd. FF thinks I O'd on CD17 if I put in EWCM for that day which I did see but don't usually track and I started spotting on CD9!!!? WTF body?? If I take out EWCM I O on day 20 which means spotting on day 6...even more WTF.

I just really really want to be pregnant this cycle and avoid the whole RE thing and I feel like I never even had a chance. By the time I sorta figured out O I was already spotting. Ugh...the worst part is I still have a small sliver of hope that won't go away until I actually get my period.

[minae01]

jense927, I agree with FF. I think you're only 8 DPO. It's not likely you would get a +OPK days after you O. Also, I spotted with this pregnancy every day from 1DPO through 5 weeks. I thought for sure I was out. I will keep my fingers crossed for hard for you!

[wicked22]

Well ladies DD wanted to be just like her big brother and was born Monday 12/14 at 32w exact due to pre-e once again. She was born at 8:32am on 12/14 and was 3lb 11oz. 8oz bigger. She is currently doing light therapy and is on room air.

[wicked22]

And omg she has so much hair

[motownthrowdown]

wicked22, congrats and yay for room air!

[jense927]

wicked22, congrats!! She sounds like a good size and so good to be on room air! Good luck. I hope you have a short and uneventful stay.

[minae01]

Congrats, wicked22! It sounds like she's doing really well! Did you get the full course of steroid shots?

I hope she has a short, easy NICU stay.

[wicked22]

Thank you guys and minae01 yes we got both the steroid shots in

I really want to find the steroid shot inventor and kiss them, after I stop bawling. I got two rounds of two shots in, and I credit them with my 28 weeker not needing a ventilator.

jense927 , how is TTC going? Did you already see the RE or is that upcoming?

Thanks for checking in!! So I had the initial consult with her and after reviewing my file she is concerned that because of the traumatic birth I had with DS (Emergency C-Section, lots of blood loss) that I might have some scarring preventing me from getting KU. Obviously she is just speculating at that but that is the first thing she wants to look for. So because of the Holidays and the timing it had to wait until my next cycle which just started. So I will call today to schedule the CD3 bloodwork and then schedule a CD5 SHG to check for scarring. I am anxious to hopefully get some answers.
