It is a miracle of nature, isnt it! I loved being pregnant with my first one. The only symptoms I had was excessive peeing and exhaustion. I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy ahead!

Sorry I haven't been on! Really want to catch up with everyone

Nothing new here, I'm 10 weeks and 3 days, so still early and being cautious. No morning sickness or nausea just peeing more and tired. 12 week scan will be June 12th when I'll be 13.5 weeks cos I'm going on holiday to England the week before. Had my booking appointment and all went well. That's it really

Hope everyone else is okay!

Bunny, glad to hear you are doing well! Hard to believe you are already 10 weeks pregnant!!!

Jl, does that mean you've popped yours out yet?!?!?! just kidding

AFM, I'm just holding down the fort. I had some light spotting this morning, but so far nothing since then. I'm going to NC to visit my uncle & aunt this weekend since its a long weekend, & we could use a vacation. I really don't have anything new to report, I just keep silently stalking the thread to check on everyone & see how you all are doing.

Hi Everyone!!!

Nothing too new with me as well. Pregnancy symptoms kicking my butt some days, but I know it will be all worth it. My spotting stopped because I had a yeast infection. I was seen last week, got medicine cream and haven't spotted since, so I'm very happy.

I had my N1 appointment at 8 weeks and i'll be back for my next appointment this Thursday. I will be 10 weeks on the day, i'm 9 weeks 5 days right now. I'm not too sure what will happen at this one, i think it's more of a physical since my N1 appointment was medical information and talking about everything. I am planning on doing the 3 main genetic testing because I'm adopted and here in NY my files are closed. So I think it would be best to to do them and be safe. It will be a mystery for me as time goes on, but i'm sure it will all work out.

I hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hi everyone! It's nice to see updates from all the ladies I'm glad you all are doing well! As for me, I need to go pick up my referral paperwork so I can make my appt with the specialist. I keep calling the office but they never pick up so I'm just going to go there because it should be processed by now.

In other news, I will be starting a low starch vegan diet on Monday! I will of course keep exercising on my regular schedule (about two hours a day M-F). Hopefully this will improve my pcos and help me lose these last few pounds. Maybe if I'm lucky I will ovulate and get a BFP! ..only in my wildest dreams lol I haven't been taking the Metformin lately but Im going to start taking 500mg a day just to help with the diet and everything until I see the specialist and figure out what's next.

And last but not least the BEST news! DH is still coming to counseling with me. I'm so happy and proud of him for doing this with me. He was totally against it at first but now he actually looks forward to our appointments and best of all our marriage is improving as a result. I'm feeling better about TTC more and more these days. and it feels good

 

[StayHopeful]

So glad things are going well, Aly!

Hi ladies :wave: I hope everyone is doing well!

Aein - have a safe trip! Glad to hear that this cycle is going better than last

Baby - haven't popped it out yet! I'm almost 17 weeks, which is insane tho - time is going by so fast!

Stayhopeful - how are you feeling about the ivf stuff so far? Do you know which stims you'll be using?

Hippie, markswife, & Bunny - I'm so glad to hear things are going well! GL with your upcoming scans / tests!

AlyCon - I'm so glad that things are going well!

How are all the other ladies doing?? SweetMel, lichongchai, Fallen?

to all

Afm - DH and I just got back from Washington, DC - we were there for a cousin's wedding and made a mini vacation out of it, which was really nice. I have my appt for my 19 week anatomy scan on June 10th and (as long as LO cooperates) we should be able to find out the gender then! I'll keep all you ladies updated!

Stayhopeful - how are you feeling about the ivf stuff so far? Do you know which stims you'll be using?

I'm going to be using Gonal F, I qualified for a 50% off program so my doctor switched me to it from Follistim. I'm nervous about IVF but getting excited. I ended up not doing BCP because my genetic testing showed that I'm a carrier for a fairly common clotting disorder so they decided not to put me on the BCP, I'm just going to start progesterone again on Wed and then start the stims when AF comes. DH and I both took antibiotics for 10 days and I have an ultrasound and consult with the doctor on June 4 to make sure that everything looks good to start stims once AF comes. I'm really excited about it, but also so much more nervous than I was about anything else we've done because it just seems so much bigger than anything else, not to mention more expensive. We're going to be transferring 2 embryos if we have 2, so hopefully that will increase our chances too. Right now it looks like I'll start stims the 2nd week of June and do my retrieval and transfer the last week of June. I ordered my meds this week, it somehow seemed more real when the giant box of meds arrived.

I've been just reading lately. I have no news to write about. I'm so bored with this incredibly long cycle.
