Love these!!!
AFM: we are on cycle 5 AL, still natural but with acupuncture added. Just about to O, We met with a new RE who is pretty aggressive and wants to go straight to injects + IUI; injects so we won't have further issues with my lining thinning and IUI to get the best results for our $. DH is now on board so I hope that will happen this next cycle. My EDD is next Friday, so We are both having a hard time. Hopefully the combination of that being past and starting treatment will make March wonderful!!

Hi ladies! I love hearing updates from all of you!
B is now 4 days old, and we are adjusting to life at home and getting to know each other. BF'ing is going fairly well, we are having a few latch issues (ok, I am) which is causing some discomfort to me but doesn't seem to be slowing her down. Other than that we are just learning together!
AFM: This weekend I am hitting the 5 year mark of trying. I'm just waiting for my body to figure out what is doing (weird mid cycle spotting without O'ing) and if CD 1 is going to start after an anno cycle. Once I hit CD 1 I need to call my RE because we are starting our tests. Well, my tests anyway. My husband's SA already happened and that was normal. But if stuff comes back as not easily fixed for me, we agree that our journey will be over. It's just been too hard for too long. On the non TTC front, not much other than my bike trip. CAL ladies...do I talk about that too much?? We are biking along the C&O canal for a belated anniversary trip next month. 185 miles!
I'm doing great so far. I'm almost 24 weeks and baby boy is growing steadily. His hr is good and my BP has stayed lower than 120/80 this entire pg so far. My MFM is just thrilled. He is so happy every time I see him. We've bumped up to check-ins with him every two weeks and growth scans every other, alternating. Once I hit 28 weeks he's thinking we will go to once a week. They are easy appts. but still a lot to get there, check-in, pee, nurse, another nurse, dr visit and then schedule next time. I just keep reminding myself anything is worth it. I will do whatever I need to.
Mentally I feel like I've been doing well. I keep thinking about how different this pg feels. Last time A wasn't as active as this baby, I'm showing so much more already, and his growth is so good. He's right in the 50th percentile for everything. I really am starting to prepare and wrap my mind around having a baby. Like real life he is coming home with me. It's surreal.
menrandes you definitely do not talk about the bike trip too much, it sounds amazing!
ldubhawksfan glad you guys have a plan, I'll be keeping everything crossed for you!
I love these as well. I'm on my 3rd IUI after our loss, month 26 of trying all together. No living children yet. Sometimes it's crazy to look back on it all. But I didn't mean this as a downer post. We are actually planning to move to IVF after this cycle (likely cycling in April), and for the first time in a long time I feel hopeful about that.
Hi everyone! I love seeing all the updates in one spot.
I am 5 weeks 6 days today with my 5th BFP and really hoping this one sticks. I should be getting a call tomorrow with my first ultrasound appointment which will probably be early next week.
In other news, DH and I finally got our King-sized bed and it is fabulous! We had been sleeping in a full for the past year with our dog and cat and it was not working for either of us. Now it's so spacious.
John will be 13wks old on Monday. He is a lil chunker and growing like a weed. At his 9wk (shots) appointment he weighed 14lbs10oz and was 24inches long (he grew a shit ton really fast - birth: 7lb8oz & 19.25in). I went back to work on January 20th, it's been good to go back and not as bad as I expected.
Not much is new with me otherwise. I started back on birth control, it's so foreign to me & I'm horrible at remembering to take it. I forgot all of it's lovely side effects, I'm so freaking hungry and I have no libido. awesome. I would love to do the copper T iud, but there is nothing going in my uterus, nothing. I don't even know if my docs would agree to it, but I'm against any type of IUD with all the ute shit I've been through.
In other news, I got to meet RedTwizzlers!!!! She's super sweet and we had a great time
@enchanted Right?!?! I said to DH last night "I don't think I'm actually pregnant. This is still surreal." Which is ridiculous because she could come any day now.
Update from appointment yesterday. I was 36w5d and progressed to 75% effaced & 1 cm. And we're scheduled for our CBE class this evening. So anytime after Saturday I'm feeling ready **Realistically I know I could stay at 75% effaced & 1 cm for weeks**

I'm 36w4d and so ready for Lo to make her appearance (I know she has a few more weeks until she's considered full-term). I'm so uncomfortable that I have a hard time sleeping at night... I also wake up either every hour or every few hours to use the bathroom. I'm now on weekly appointments until she's here....

Hiya friends! I love these threads. Love tits and hugs for all. It's always so (good)crazy to see ladies I used to hang with in the IF thread on TTCAL now having babies. hawkward, I'm looking at you.
AFM: just when H and I were settling into living CFNBC, he asked if I would consider pursuing adoption. Turns out, yes, I would consider. We're just starting research now and it remains to be seen what happens next, but it feels like a new and different step and it's making me smile. Sorry for those who keep reading this in different places. It feels like big news to me, and yet, not many people IRL know so I keep AWing it up with you ladies.

Hey ladies!! Eli is about 10.5 months old. Can't believe I'm about to have a one year old!! He's crawling all over the place and gets into everything! We love him to pieces. We are planning on starting to NTNP shortly after he turns one. We keep pushing it back, but today we are saying start in April and see how things go!!
I think it's the same posting rules as over on the other board. I think the disable sig is a great feature but my only concern with posting with no siggy warning and a disabled sig is that people might not realize you are posting as a grad - and that could cause some misunderstanding and hard feelings.
My personal opinion is if you don't have a ticker or pics of babies than I would not worry about disabling your sig.
Hey all! This is MrsDeo for anyone mobile. My rainbow is almost 6 months old and she's doing great. Her first 2 teeth poked through this week, so I've got my fingers crossed that better sleep will be around the corner, even if it only sticks around for a little while.
I'm still trying to figure out how to do my job part time, and I've resorted to having my mom watch J for an extra hour or two on some work days so I can squeeze in a few chores. We're staying busy around here.
I love reading everyone's updates! Hugs and treats for all (preferably something chocolate...)
