    Hi pmzilla - i am doing well. I have my 18 week ultrasound next week but still no results yet from the chromosome testing.
    I tried the Harmony test at 12 and 14 weeks but with no finding. There wasn't enough baby DNA in my blood to get a result. I went back at 16 weeks for a new test - MaternT21 and they were .3% away from being able to give me a definitive result...The first ultrasound looked really good so I'm not really worried. The drs. said that sometimes the placenta just doesn't let through enough DNA to test early on. So, I should find out the sex next week with the ultrasound and they will re-do the MaternT21 test next week as well.
    My biggest physical symptom right now is that I can feel the ligaments stretching and it feels so weird!
    Hope you're doing well.
    I did send two emails to CC asking to pass along my email address....do you know if there's a reason why they wouldn't? I should call this week to find out.

    Hello,

    25 weeks and going strong here. My little dude (was breech) is in position and kicks and elbows up a storm, especially after I eat. :) I hope he stays in position.

    My biggest symptom (besides the belly) is also the ligament cramps, they can be pretty bad when I lay down at night. I also pulled a muscle in my groin (not sure how, think it is just the stretching) which was awful, prenatal yoga classes are helping.

    Baby seems to be a normal/average size (not small, not big), very active at times.

    Yogi, how are things on your end?

    pmzilla, looks like you are doing well. I enjoy these check-ins.

    Have any of you signed up for the sibling registry? I did long ago but 13115 hadn't had any births at that point, it was too soon. That might be a better way to stay in touch since Aurora never came through.

    Unfortunately I've done 2 iuis and no joy yet. Absolutely no reason, both my and 13115's numbers look great. I start Clomid again tomorrow for attempt number 3. I only have 3 vials left, so after this month I'll be left with the one. Hoping that I'm successful this time obviously, but if not I hope one vile is ok for ivf, which will be the next logical step. I had to pay extra to get some genetic testing done as I tested positive as a DNA breakage carrier. I was happy that he agreed to get tested, but it's not a cheap test and now he has no more viles left and is retired.
    Just holding thumbs that this third time's a charm!

    hi all - I had my 19 week ultrasound and my little girl is doing great! The nurse said she is very active and I could see her moving around. My placenta ended up in front - which is ok - but just might mean I don't feel kicks as much. I haven't felt anything yet. I'm trying to get to the prenatal yoga classes but haven't had much energy in the past few weeks. I came down with an awful stomach bug a couple of days ago and almost had to go to the hospital for fluids. Luckily the vomiting stopped and I could get fluids to stay down. I think it will take me a few more days to regain some strength.

    Yogi- I hope all goes well on the third try. I conceived on the third try with this donor (after switching from another donor).

    I haven't signed up for the sibling registry yet but will do that.

    I'm excited to hear updates from everyone & will try and check in more often for updates.

    Hi Ladies~

    JennyC & Artist- glad you're both progressing nicely.

    HaydenCT- are you still around? How are you doing?

    And Yogi- good luck with #3. We got pregnant on tries #1 (mc @ 6 wks) and #4 with this donor.

    We're at 23 weeks here, and all is fine. Having some ligament pain & starting to have some intermittent extremity swelling, but nothing overly concerning. Working on our nursery, with showers coming up in the next month, along with birthing classes, etc...woah!

    hi everyone - I just saw this thread and wanted to let you know I am 12 weeks pregnant with this donor. I hope all is well with you both. I can also send my contact details to Aurora if you would like to exchange email addresses?
  • de1802de1802 Posts: 2
    me again, just seeing Aurora didn't pull through on email address exchange. I will hopefully join the sibling registry later on. I'm still early stages and waiting on Materni21 test to come back. My NT Scan is on Thursday. Will see how all that goes first! My best wishes to everyone
  • 8668jennyc8668jennyc Posts: 18
    Just wanted to check in & see how everyone is doing. Congrats de1802!
    I'm open to giving out my email if anyonee wants to chat offline. My email is jenacasey@yahoo.com ...jen

    Hey Guys
    We're doing good here at 34.5weeks. Having lots of Braxton-Hicks, which have me hoping for an early delivery. Other than that, I am having a healthy pregnancy with no complications. I hope you all have a nice holiday season. Let's see some birth announcments here soon!

    Hello,

    About to hit 39 weeks on Tuesday with no symptoms of labor and feeling awesome. Have had a very healthy and lovely pregnancy, he has passed all tests with flying colors. I love being pregnant and plan on going late though I am super anxious to meet my little guy so he can come whenever he is ready.

    I will post our announcement on the sibling registry once he is here.

    Good luck ladies, I think of you often!

    Hi all- glad to see your updates here...tis the season for some births! 35.5 weeks here and all is well!

    Best of luck with your deliveries...and artist, if you're up for it, a New Years baby could be very cool!

    Cheers!

    Hi all - Hope everything is well and can't wait to see announcements! I'm about 35 1/2 weeks and doing pretty well except for the carpel tunnel in my hands. Also, my little girl is still transverse so if she doesn't start to move head down soon then my doctor will get a date on the calendar for c-section. Not sure how I feel about that. I like the idea of knowing a date but am nervous about the longer recovery time.

    Hi all-

    I am due in late July and used this donor. I would love to exchange email address with you and I did send an email to Aurora several weeks ago with no response. I am not much for the public posting here. Did she connect any of you after you sent emails?

    Thanks. Inspired

    I think the best thing to do is to register on the sibling registration site once the babe is here. This is best for protecting your identity. I wrote to Aurora many times and she never got back to me.

    My little dude is 3.5 months, he is handsome, smart, funny, and has a terrific personality!

    I know these posts are several years old now but reaching out in hopes someone will see.
    We purchased sperm with this donor back in 2013 for an IVF/FET cycle. We wound up getting pregnant with our own embryos in 2014 and had a son in Nov 2014.
    We used our embryo with this donor and I am now 32 weeks pregnant and just wanting to learn and know more about everyone's journey!
    Would love to hear from anyone interested in reaching out.
    My email is dana.rubano@gmail.com
    Congrats to you all :)

    This is very old but I found it by searching 13115. I have 2 vials in my RE's office in NYC that I won't be using and am seeing if anyone is looking for them before I have them destroyed. I'm responding to every message (they're all old) regarding this donor. I'm going to also do my own post about this.
