[wolfette]

Hi ladies, it's been a while since I checked in. Always rooting for you all and glad to see so many of you over here. Tagging snd1231

My cerclage was removed on 12/18 at 36w2d and I went into labor in the late evening of 12/22 at 36w6d. Talia Niamh was born on 12/23 at 3:26pm weighing 5lbs 12oz and measuring 18 3/4". She is absolutely perfect and we went home on Christmas Day. We got off to a rocky start with her losing weight and being slightly jaundiced, but she finally exceeded her birth weight last week and is thriving.

Diagnosis: Unicornuate uterus (only the left half of my ute developed) and PCOS

BFP Treatment: FET #1



QOTW: We had been very open about IF and that we were doing IVF followed by a FET. After the second beta came back we told our parents on Mother's Day. I called my mom and said "Happy Mother's Day Nana" and we had dinner with DH's parents that night and got MIL a Grandma card. We told close friends and extended family as we saw them in person over the following weeks and made a FB announcement after the NT scan.

I posted on TB check in but just wanted to say I made the move here.

If you're not on TB anymore, I'm 18w and have A\S Monday. That's my excitement.

[triathlete23]

7w4d here! We are potentially high risk due to a partial septum discovered on my 6w US. The US at 7w confirmed this, but with an awesomely strong heartbeat this time!

We have an appointment with an OB in a week to confirm the septum and the risks. I was hoping to deliver with a midwife but the goal now is a healthy, full term baby.

QOTW: We've only told a few people so far. For our family, I think we'll keep it straight to the point and just say it!

[snd1231]

wolfette your daughter is gorgeous! I will add you to next weeks check-in.

hbanana18 I am on both sites for now. I will update your info!

triathlete23 I will be keeping my FX for you that everything turns out ok. Great that you have a strong heartbeat!

[hbanana18]

snd1231 I'm still hopping back and forth - a lot of my PAIF ladies are staying there and I would miss them too much.

Going back to my old screen name - this is SouthernYankeeGirl writing from my rocking chair with my week old son on my shoulder!

To repost what I wrote on Voldemort...

I have my baby!!!! 3T, come back from your Bump protest for me please. I want to share with you all who helped me so much in getting to this point!

I posted a long birth story on PAIF, but I doubt anyone wants to give TB more traffic.


Ryan Henry was born 1/10 at 11:09am after 4 days of early labor followed by 12 hours of active labor and 30 minutes of pushing. He weighed a healthy 7lb5oz, 21.25 inches long. His skull was still 90th percentile, which resulted in some tearing, but it's no big deal.

It was overall a glorious experience that I actually enjoyed (thank heavens for medical science - both for help conceiving my child and the epidural to help me enjoy his delivery).

We are healthy and happy and home! I couldn't be more in love with this little guy. Last night as I spent the whole night holding him (we have debated renaming him "SleepsWhileHeld"), I was listening to music and Rascal Flatts' song "My Wish" came on and I just started sobbing. Sobbing and sobbing and sobbing. Happy hormonal tears, because I was so grateful to be a Mom and all the love I have for my little man, and because I don't for one minute (even at 3:30am) take that for granted. I feel so blessed to be so sleep deprived! Infertility robs us of joy so often, and I wish I could fix it for all of you still struggling. Since I can't, I will at least always ALWAYS be an ally. I am here for anyone who needs to talk. And I will always hope for each of you to find that kind of joy in your journey.

So much love and hugs to all my 3T girls. Thank you!!!!!!

[bandm14]

Congratulations calindi, he is so beautiful!!!

[tumbleweed]

[NariaDreaming]

He is precious, calindi. Your post brought tears to my eyes. I have to remain hopeful that I will one day feel that kind of joy, and it's so wonderful to read your words knowing you came from this community. Congratulations, again!

As I tell all my 3T friends, I know there are days it's so hard to feel hopeful. That's okay... I promise to be hopeful for you those days!

Infertility is cruel, but there are advantages from being PAIF, namely the gratitude and perspective of how much of a blessing it all is. I hope you (and all the 3Ters) will be on the other side with BFPs soon!

Thanks all! I think baby Ryan is the cutest kid ever, but clearly I am biased ;-)

[bluefairy5]

calindi What a perfect little bundle he is! I mean, that is one seriously cute newborn you produced there

[lemonliz]

He is absolutely precious calindi. And thank you for always being such a good advocate for the 3T

Paging MaiTaiBeth

[annaclaire256]

Oh my word calindi he's is SO beautiful!! Your post made me tear up. I'm just so damn happy for you! I know you enjoy every last minute of those snuggles!

[bluejoan]

calindi and wolfette - I will say it again, but I am so happy for the both of you. The ladies and gents of 3T make some pretty babies.

[MaiTaiBeth]

Hi Ladies,

I used to be MaitaiBeth...I may go back to my name, I miss it...I'm nuts. PF is doing well, her o2 sats are almost 100 when sleeping. She is a happy baby and pulling herself up and not sure if she will walk or crawl first. We celebrated the girls first birthday, it was bittersweet but we made it. It feels like a huge milestone.

Bfp was IVF #1, long Lupron protocol. It was a 3dt of two embies they were only 4 and 5 cell each, but beautifully shaped. I had no frosties. I delivered early due to my cervix, the doc put a pessary in which got me to 25/0 weeks.

Hugs and much love to you.
