@Kim, Congrats on the baby girl!!!! We're so happy for you. It's so exciting to know and to plan ahead.
How's your wife and little boy doing?
@Kim CONGRATS on the baby girl!! How exciting!!
@Shauna hang in there...I know it's hard. I would try to stay busy with the move. That's really exciting about the move and Congrats on the puppy.
We went to the Dr tonight. Baby is doing good. A nice strong heartbeat.
@Jami 95% is pretty good!! I have already bought a few outfits. But now that summer clothes are out, I can't buy too much since she will be born in November. I have told my mom and sister in law and my mom texted a picture to me of a little outfit she bought. She's pretty excited. We'll be telling my in-laws this weekend it's a girl so I'm sure they'll be buying stuff too!!
@Jami It's hard NOT to buy things. Registering will be fun!
Update on me: All is well. Still feeling great! Fatigue is easing up as well as the breast tenderness. Never had morning sickness. I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow.... Officially in the second trimester. Haven't gained ANY weight yet, which I am thrilled about. My Dr said as long as I am maintaining, he is fine with that. Still not really "showing". My pants aren't fitting as well, but doesn't look like a baby bump at all. haha
Hope everyone is doing well! Have a great week!!
I am feeling okay. Not having many symptoms at all. Today is 11dpiui. I tested yesterday morning and got the faintest faint line of all time. Tested again this morning and it was a BFN. Not really sure what to think about it. Both time I used First Response 6 days sooner. My wife and I have been looking into other donors. We may be switching if this cycle results in another BFN.
So happy to hear that the both of you ladies are doing well!! I cannot wait to start buying things and doing our registries! I hope y'all have a wonderful week!
@Kim I'm glad you're feeling well and the no weight gain is a double bonus. On the other hand my wife gained 8 lbs in a month and our Dr wasn't happy hahaha.
The count this time around was 14mil, I believe. I was told that he does have reported pregnancies.
Keeping my fingers crossed for good news in the morning.
There were several occasions my wife couldn't make ultrasounds with me due to work. Its understandable. Life gets in the way.
As a matter of fact, on the day of insemination, something came up and she couldn't get off and that's the one that took!! haha
Hang in there!! I know it's a long road, but 3 tries isn't bad.
@Kim is that what worked for you the hybrid cycle? How are you feeling? Any new cravings or food aversions?
@Shauna Hopefully this works for you! Only did 2 days of Follistim (150mg each). What is your dose?
I'm feeling great! Getting more energy in the evenings so i'm not just a zombie :) I'm actually able to cook and clean and do a few things around the house and go to bed at a normal time. Still no cravings really... or aversions. I'm not super emotional either. It has been a really easy time. I listen to her heart beat almost every night for a minute or two... It's a nice way to end the day.
Hope everyone is well
@Kim I'm glad you're doing well. It's interesting nothing yet with the food. My wife keeps eating things she normally doesn't like. Have you been shopping a lot?
We spent almost 4 hours in Buy Buy Baby and still didn't finish our registry. This is a lot of work. We see a fetal maternity Dr next week.
We're doing good...See the specialist tomorrow.
I hope you ladies are doing well!!
@Jami How did the specialist go today? Sorry I've been MIA for a bit!
Things are going well here. I have a bit of a cold I'm trying to fight off. Hard not being able to take any meds. I go back in 2 weeks to recheck my thyroid. Hopefully everything has leveled out again. He also is going to do a blood test to check for Spinal Bifida and something else (I forgot) then we go in on the 23rd for our anatomy scan. Can't wait to see that little girl again!!!
@Kim are you feeling any better? That scan is amazing. We just had ours this week. The test is probably called the Clari test. We had one a few weeks ago.
We're doing good. Baby boy is looking good! We go back to our regular Dr next week and back to the fetal maternity dr the end of the month for another ultrasound. He didn't want to fully cooperate with the scan. He's def my child lol...Hope you ladies have a nice weekend!
@Shauna Great count!!! Hopefully one of those guys sticks!! I bet you can't wait to test.
@Jami This weekend has been pretty rough. My cold has been kicking my butt. The stuffiness went away but I picked up the WORST sore throat.... and can't really take anything. My wife went out late Saturday evening to get me some Cepacol. It was on the list of approved medications from my doctor. I was almost in tears, it hurt so bad. Things are a bit better today, so I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel!
Can't wait for the scan :) Glad your little guy is doing well... getting bigger and bigger. I am still BARELY showing... just feel a bit wider than normal lol
Have a great week!
@Shauna how are you doing?
We're doing good. Went to the Dr and the baby is almost a pound. I feel like the pregnancy is flying by. We're a little over halfway there.
