MsR- I hope you’re doing well. I can’t wait to hear from you with your good news!

Wish- Hooray for feeling the twins from outside your belly! Hopefully DH will be able to feel them soon too! I can now see my belly move quite easily, but DH still hasn’t felt gummy move :shrug: Oh yes, what you described does sound similar to my pains. I get these stretching pains under the roundness, more towards the sides, and I think those are round ligament pains. What a wonderful holiday you had, life sounds sublime!

Welcome Rawr! I hope you get your wish, and are successful very soon. I’m turning 46 in a month’s time, so I feel very old in comparison!

Wicky- What wonderful news about your multiple follicles! Fx for your scan. I hope that the trial works out for your brother.

I just got really troubling news about my health benefits. They will be changing on Jan 1, and my current HMO is no longer an option. As it is Kaiser, there is no other option to continue with them. My EDD is 28 or 29th December! I have already planned to deliver at a Kaiser hospital, and my prenatal appointments have all been there. Although we were informed 2 weeks ago that our benefits would be changing, it was only revealed today that Kaiser was no longer an option after Jan 1. Argh!
 
MsR--thinking of you! Can't wait to hear about the arrival of your little girl!

Wish--that is so awesome that you can feel the babies from the outside! It is really cool. Some evenings I would just sit on the couch or in bed and just watch my belly. It'll be even more movement with two in there.

Miki--sorry to hear about the insurance situation. The entire insurance process/system just sucks, IMO. Good luck sorting through it all.

Spud--thanks for checking in! So glad your family is having a blast. What a wonderful trip. Even though you'll be separated from DH, video chats can help.

Hi to everyone else!

AFM--I have to stay on my BP meds and have my primary care Dr take over monitoring of it. Meh. Hopefully it goes down over time. In more exciting news, we close on our house tomorrow! We want to do a little work, so we aren't moving right away. It's exciting. And I finished my thank you notes for baby gifts (got way, way behind on them). That feels incredibly good!
 
I'll post a longer update when I have time but wanted to let you know baby girl joined us on Monday, 9 lbs and 21 inches, totally healthy. Thanks ladies for your support so far on this journey
 
CONGRATS, mrsr!!!! xoxo SO happy for you and your new family!!! :wohoo: :happydance:

vonn - congrats to you all as well for closing on the house!! What kinds of updates/fixes are you going to do first? That stinks about the BP meds continuing but I'm glad you're being monitored. Can you feel that your pressure is higher than normal?

miki - well doesn't that just throw a wrench in the whole process?? How annoying!! So being that you're going to Kaiser facilities now, you can't really change that NOW to future places, though, right? b/c your current insurance (I'm assuming Kaiser) wouldn't cover those? I concur with Vonn - our insurance system is out of control awful.

Hello to everyone else! :wave:
 
Congrats MsR! Welcome to the world baby girl! :)

15dpo and bfn for me so I'll stop progesterone then start birth control on day 3 of next cycle (in about 6 days) then stims about 3 weeks after that! Egg retrieval should be early October. Just sliding in under my 35th birthday (October 7) lol. Here we go!
 
omg Ask, you're making me feel old!! :haha:
I hope your stimming goes extremely well and you only have to go through one round of all of this!
 
Congratulations MsR on the arrival of your baby girl! :happydance: I can't wait to read your update and hopefully see pics!

Wish and Vonn, I'm definitely finding out that the health insurance system is fraught with difficulties. Yeah, I believe I wouldn't be able to shift away from Kaiser until Jan 1. Not that I want to, but I don't know what my choices are at the moment. I am trying to contact the right people to let me know what I can do.

Vonn- congrats on your house! Too bad your bp is still being stubborn, but hopefully it will go down soon.

Ask- hope you have a successful cycle!
 
MsR--Wonderful news! I'm so happy baby is healthy. I, too, look forward to pics! I hope you are feeling well and that your BP goes down. I'm really glad it didn't turn into preeclampsia for you. Enjoy your beautiful baby!!
 
Congrats on your new house, Vonn. Hope things at your parents are going well. I'm sure it's nice having additional help. How is your dh hanging in there? It's probably tough being at the In-laws house.
 
^^:haha: my husband would DIE before living with my folks! :rofl:
as you all know, my FIL lives with us. But DH has said numerous times that he couldn't do the same. Bothers me a little bit b/c this clearly isn't what I dreamed of but I'm sucking it up, but I know there are different personalities and such at play if the tables were turned. Oh well.
Ramble ramble ramble - I hope your living situation is WAY better, Vonn! :)
 
Hi Everyone! Haven't manged to get on here for ages! Between my job, family issues, the gym, walking the dog and TTC I haven't had much spare time. I've just been reading through and catching up with everyone's news.
Congrats on your arrival MsR!

Cycle 2 AF arrived yesterday, Disappointing as had used OPKs this time to try and pinpoint O more accurately and we really thought we'd nailed it with the timings. So onwards to cycle 3. Hopefully October will be the month!

Hope everyone is doing well. xx
 
sorry about AF, Bear - good luck on catching that egg this cycle!!

I'm not sure how I'll ever go back to regular jeans/pants. These maternity thingies are INCREDIBLE!!

Oh, I told my boss, finally, yesterday, that I'm pregnant. She literally jumped for joy, screamed, asked to hug me and said I made her week. I thanked her profusely for having that reaction!! She's really an angel in my life right now - hiring me out of that ridiculously demanding job, being a completely trustful boss/hands off, and now this. I'm SO GLAD I made the decision to leave. The job itself might be boring right now but I'll figure out something I like about it, and it'll be more interesting the more I learn.
Life is good. :) :cloud9:
 
Thanks Wish! and congratulations!

Glad your boss is being so great and supportive, it makes things so much easier and less stressful
 
Congrats MrsR.

Does anyone know about cervix firmness? At 12 DPO with a bfn, I assume I'm out but my cervix is low and soft. I've read it's supposed to be firm prior to AF and soft after conception. Anyone know anything about this topic?
 
TTC - I researched that awhile back and read that the cervix is not a reliable indicator of pregnancy in the very early stages. Hoping you still might get a bfp!
 
Yep. I'm out. AF got me. I just ordered more DHEA, maca, and ubiquinol. I got pregnant my 3rd month supplementing with them last time. So, it can't hurt, right?!

Click to expand...

I was convinced I was preggers last cycle...AF was a no show, and cervix was high and soft. Then AF came 3 days late. I'm no longer symptom spotting. Too frustrating. FX for you!

UPDATE: Sorry, just got to your last post. :( FX for next month.
