TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

Lol sunny- isn’t it funny how changing a few words around in Google make all the difference? I figure, depending on when my second OB appointment will be, I could probably get in one more scan between 8-14 weeks :haha: that’s so awesome you got to hear her heartbeat again!! Have you guys settled on names?
 
I'm so excited to find out if there's one or two little Tb's in there, just a few more weeks until your scan :D What do you think? Twins or a singleton?

Haven't settled on names just yet, but we have a contender that we both like.

Bought me a doppler that should arrive later this week btw. I'm not really planning on using it much unless I'm really stressed that there's something wrong. I think it's good to have in case I need it for reassurance but don't want to overdo it either to stress myself out trying to find a heartbeat every day.
 
TBH, I think they are both in there. I’ve had high optimism since even starting the IVf process and I still feel it. Of course I’d be thrilled if it’s a singleton but something about knowing I had two “babies” put back, make me really sad thinking the other one could have not made it. I know it sounds silly

I totally get the Doppler thing! My friend is letting me borrow her Doppler when I am further along. Paranoia at its finest. So exciting for you!!
 
Yeah I completely understand. It's still a life lost, even though it only existed for 5 days. Won't be long now until you find out!!! Any new symptoms?
 
Exactly. As for symptoms nothing new. I feel like I get out of breath a lot easier doing simple tasks lol. I’m starting to get more hungry finally too. Still have aversions to things but I want a lot of whatever I do enjoy eating lol

Dream- how was the wedding?
 
Hi guys!!! Sorry I've been AWOL, having a baby is rewarding but tough! Peyton Leah was born on 20 April by C-section and she's doing so well.

I haven't read through 2 months of posts but I see both TB and Sunny are pregnant!!! Such happy news to see! Congrats guys. Hope everything is going well.

Amber, hope you're enjoying your bump!

Hope you're all doing well otherwise!
 
CT! Sooo good to hear from you! I’m glad everything went ok and you have your beautiful daughter here now! She must be such a joy! How was your recovery?
 
My recovery was actually really good! I had an excellent surgeon and was walking the next day and bouncing around by day 3!
 
Hey guys - just popping in and out. We leave to the Bahamas in the morning. I can't wait! Even though I haven't pack not 1 thing yet. lol

We have wifi at the resort but I've decided to completely disconnect so I won't be checking in.

Hope everything goes well with any betas or appointments any of you may have next week.

FX I return with a drunken vacation love child growing in me. :winkwink:
 
CT- so happy to hear from you!! Glad your recovery went well and Peyton is doing well.

Dream- enjoy your trip, can't wait to hear all about it. Hope your return present is a BFP!!

Tb- I sure hope you've got twins in there growing nice and strong!

Sunny- hope you are still feeling good!
 
Morning girls!

CT, so good to hear from you! Sounds like you had an amazing recovery. Glad to hear your little princess is doing well!

Dream, ahhh you probably won't be reading this but in case you do, hope you'll have an awesome trip!!!!

Amber, happy 28 weeks :D Now I'm craving chicken wings lol. When did you start feeling flutterings? I just can't tell if it's my digestive tract or if I feel something lol.
 
Sunny- I think I started feeling something around 18 weeks. It was hard to tell because it was so light and random. For me it felt like a vibration. I kept thinking I was imagining it since they say you don't normally feel anything until 20-24 weeks with your first, but I'm pretty sure what I felt at that point was baby! It was like nothing I'd ever felt before. How exciting!
 
Thanks Amber! I keep reading about people feeling things at 12-14 weeks (mostly 2nd, 3rd-time moms) so it's hard to stay patient ;)

How are things with you Tb?
 
I’m doing alright. I just am very anxious for the scan next week. I’ve been wanting to test again to make sure everything is fine but I also know that won’t tell me a whole lot. Today I’m feeling some stronger nausea so perhaps that’s a good sign. I’m still feeling positive but my anxiety about it has been creeping in a lot more.
 
I completely understand! It's so incredibly scary. I hated testing again (but still did lol) because it always gave me something to scrutinize. After a while, the tests just are as dark as they can possibly get and any variance is just because of the dye. Your hCG is so high right now that even if it ended up in a loss it would take a while for your numbers to go down, so it doesn't really tell us much either way.

Hope you'll find a bit of comfort in experiencing some nausea though.

When is your scan next week?
 
Yeah, which is why I won’t go get anymore tests. I have been using some of my opks just for fun.. they basically take all the dye for the test line lol so that is nice. I still feel optimistic too I just get the moments of paranoia! My scan is Wednesday night. I want so bad to do it earlier lol
 
Just a little bit longer!! The longer you wait, the more you can see so at least there's that lol. I hope you'll put a ticker up after Wednesday :D
 
Anxiously awaiting your scan on Wednesday Tb! How far along will you be then? The anxiety is understandable!

Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend :) I will be working some extra hours since DH is working anyway, gotta make some extra money while I still can!!
 
Oh sunny I think that will be a good time for a ticker!

Amber I will be 6w2d. I hope to see some beautiful heartbeats �� how long will you take off after baby comes?
 
I will take 4 months off for maternity leave which is the maximum I am allowed. I get paid 6 weeks at 60% of my pay with short term disability through work and then will use my PTO that I have accumulated over the last few years to cover my wages for the remaining time. I wish I could take longer, but I am grateful I have the means to take off those 4 months.
