I just got the call that my IPS (integrated prenatal screening) results were negative. To compare, it's like a combination of the NT scan and the other test done a bit later (I had blood work at 15w5d).
I'm so tired. I typically sleep through anything in the morning but lately I've been waking up when MH gets up then having a hard time falling back asleep. I'm assuming it's pregnancy related, but it's not fun.

Ugh, I just ran into the very gossipy woman in the department next door to mine & she straight up stared at my belly for like 3 long uncomfortable seconds. You got something you wanna ask, lady? Haha.
I just found a lump on my arm pit. It hurts like an ingrown hair but there is no red area or obvious bump on the outside skin. I'm freakin out a little.
olive, it could just be a cyst. I have a couple of my head (I know it sounds weird), but my doctor has always said they are nothing to worry about, but can be removed if they create discomfort.
Me: 28, all tests normal DH: 34, very low count, motility, morphology DX - MFI 11/14/09 - Married 01/01/14 - TTC #1 01/06/15 - Started working with RE 04/06/15 - Recommendation - straight to IVF w/ICSI 09/04/15 - Started working with new RE Nov/Dec 15 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 - 11R/8F - 1 transferred, 3 frozen
I feel like I have been super MIA lately. Between work, school, and family/friend events, I feel like I barely have time to breathe. 3 more weeks until the semester is over!

I'm struggling to adult today. The weekends go too damn fast. I feel like I never get everything done. I think I'm going to make myself feel better with fast food. I really want some french fries.
Nothing exciting here, feeling overly anxious about this pregnancy, not sure why. Just this nagging feeling something is wrong despite all my blood work/tests/ultrasounds/OB appointments have been fine. This is more of a thinking out loud, sorry, move along!
olive I've had this happen before - and it's just been a swollen lymph node from a virus I was fighting off. I know it's anxiety provoking though for sure! Hang in there!
f14mama Hugs! I frequently have that feeling!! Here's hoping we start to feel a bit of relief once we have consistent movement!

Hope it's nothing olive. Maybe your body is fighting off a bit of something. I would just keep an eye on it for the next few days or so.
cbowl, f14mama - Sorry you both are feeling anxious. Hope those feelings start to calm down for you. Maybe once you're feeling movement and have good anatomy scans those will help.
fem - Hope your DD doesn't spend the whole 3 days like that!
singingsea - Yea, adulting sucks. The last thing I want right now is to be at work. Enjoy your lunch treat!
Haha, I'm sure she wanted to ask merryrissmas! At least she didn't!!
I bet that will feel great when the semester is over rufus426. Almost there!

+1. I'm so anxious this time too. I have a regular OB appt on Wednesday so hearing the heartbeat will be reassuring.
Ugh un/packing is the worst. Good vibes your way for a quick and uneventful move! cbowl
Hugs olive. Hopefully it's nothing, like pp's said. Do you have an appt soon? Btw, I thought I figured out who you were/are, but that person is posting still. I'm so confused now! Lol

So night 2 (Saturday) of sleep training sucked too. He went down after 30mins of crying, but then he cried every hour for about 10-15 mins for the next several hours. We think he never actually fell asleep but at least he was self-soothing. Finally at 2am DH went in and calmed him down. Last night I decided to rock him to sleep. When he woke up in the motn I went in but didn't pick him up, just patted his back while he stood in his crib. After he calmed down he sat then laid down. He kept lifting his head to make sure I was there, but he actually put himself to sleep! I had to stay in there until he did, but I still think it's progress. The next time he woke up, he immediately laid back down when I got there. I think we found our method! It's kind of a PITA, but it was much less stressful than the first two nights. I'm considering sleeping in there for a couple nights so he knows I'm in there.
serendipity731, good luck and hope things keep going in the right direction! Nothing is more exhausting and frustrating than trying to get a baby/toddler to start sleeping on their own. Just keep telling yourself eventually it will happen! It was one of the only ways I kept myself sane, to really believe it wouldn't always be like this!
Just finally called my insurance and they won't cover the Quad Screen unless the doctor says it's medically necessary (which I'm guessing they won't - I'm 30 with no high risk). Insurance didn't even count all that blookwork at the beginning of pregnancy as medically necessary - she said it was only necessary to my doctor, not to my insurance plan, lol. I have a call in to my doctor to see what OOP costs would be for the quad screen, but at this point we will probably not get it done.
In better news, they have apparently not been applying things to our deductible/OOP maximum since Feb 2015 because we needed to update that we no longer had other insurance. She said the system will go back and 'fix' everything since then and update it to the right place (helping us meet our deductible sooner). I wonder though if we ever paid too much though for a claim being denied, I bet they won't pay that back.
Sorry, that got rambling and long. Need to read the fine print on my EOB from now on.
Thanks, everyone. I have an appt next Wednesday so I'll have it checked then. Keep an eye on it for now to make sure it doesn't get bigger.
I didn't see anyone mention it, but maybe I missed it. Could very well be a lymph node. They swell and shrink periodically and are nothing to worry about. Fx you get reassurance soon!
