TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

I'm totally jealous of your long weekend Sarah enjoy!

You don't need luck today TB - So I'm just sending the positive vibes.

Amber - you have a scan today too right?

Sunny - when do you get to see your baby next?

Well it's CD8, I took my last Letrozole dose yesterday afternoon. Safe to say no symptoms at all. Unless they're going to hit me a couple days delayed I think I'm all clear. I hope the drugs are still working though. Why do we tend to relate the effectiveness of something on symptoms? so silly. Even pregnancy, often women are panicking cause they have no symptoms, but that doesn't mean there's anything at all wrong with their pregnancy, they're just lucky. Random Dream thought of the day.

Can't wait to hear about the scans girls.
 
Sarah- that would be absolutely lovely wouldn’t it? FXd for you!

Dream- my hot flashes were a few days after I was done with letrozole lol so there’s still a chance! Hopefully not though. And I feel exactly that about the symptoms. Luckily, my mom said she had basically nothing with her first pregnancy so I’ll go with that!

Also I would like to report I slept.. kinda! Haha I woke up about 3:30 and didn’t go back to sleep. Got up with my husband at 5 (our usual time if I’m working!) and laid on the couch.. but then fell asleep shortly after until 9! Lol I was watching videos yesterday on 8 week ultrasounds and then there was one that was 18 weeks but they hadn’t had an ultrasound since 6 weeks. At 6 weeks they saw 1 with 1 heartbeat. At 18 weeks they had 2! Lol come on twins!!
 
Ahh that would be really special Sarah, really hope this will be your month!

Dream, my next scan is "the big one", the anatomy scan at 20 weeks (-1 day, next week on Friday). I'm glad they'll thoroughly check all the organs etc., but am also nervous they'll find something. It'll be carried out in the hospital by a perinatologist who specializes in maternal-fetal medicine, so pretty hardcore lol.

How were your symptoms on BCP's? I never had any symptoms and didn't have any with all the heavy IVF meds either (or during pregnancy for that matter). I'm hoping it means that our bodies are just well prepared for all those extra hormones.

Amber, let us know how it went! You're getting so close, I can't believe how fast it seems to have gone.

Tb, hahaha glad you did get to sleep! Can't wait to read your update the second you leave your OB office (that's when you'll update us, right? Seems only fair :D)

Steph, sorry about the world cup!!!! Hope they'll get the 3rd place spot.
 
Tb- anxiously awaiting your update!

Sunny- can't believe it's almost time for your anatomy scan! So exciting!

Dream- glad to hear you aren't having any side effects!

My ultrasound went great! He is growing perfectly and amniotic fluid looks good. He is still breech though with his bum down in my pelvis and his feet up by his head. We couldn't see his face very well because he's so scrunched up! And at one point he stretched his leg out all the way and she got a picture. So cute!
 
Well I love the new doctor! Yay! He did a fast abdominal scan so we saw the little gummy bear and it&#8217;s heartbeat! <3 we didn&#8217;t hear it - it was literally maybe a 1
Minute scan lol oh well. Will be back in 4 weeks!
 
So happy Tb and Amber!! Did you get any pictures to share?
 
Here’s one with little leg nubs!

Ahhwww it's starting to look like something :) Are you getting an NT scan in 4 weeks? Did you get an estimated due date based on today's scan?
 
February 19 and we will be doing some genetic testing next time, not sure if that&#8217;s the same thing?
 
TB - Ohhhhh those little leggies. Sooo cute.

Very anxious for my monitoring appointment tomorrow morning. I just want to know how we're doing and what if any effect the letrozole is having. Plus last month's out of the blue 26 day cycle I have no idea when I'll O. I'm going to start my OPKs tomorrow.

Happy Friday the 13th girls.
 
So right around Valentine's Day :D
The genetic testing will probably be the NIPT, much more accurate than the triple test that gives a lot of false positives. And it lets you find out the sex of the baby (if you want to) :D I'm already putting in my vote for team boy btw!

Maybe they'll also do carrier testing to see if you're a carrier for spinal muscular atrophy, cystic fibrosis etc? That's standard practice at my OB's office at least. If you're not a carrier, there's no need to test your DH as you both need to pass on the gene for it to express itself.

Dream, I'm sure your monitoring appointment will go fine (at least it's not on Friday the 13th lol). Last month's cycle was so weird, I wonder if you O'd really early or if your luteal phase was much shorter than usual.
 
Yeah he did mention some of those testing. Should I email him and ask about the NT scan? I definitely want to find out the sex lol. I have patience only in certain areas (my job) and that&#8217;s it! I don&#8217;t want to wait! And I&#8217;d always felt I would have a boy first lol I guess we will see!

Dream- I&#8217;m interested in hearing about your appointment tomorrow too. What&#8217;s going on in there! I bet everything will look great
 
CD10 - one 16mm on the left side plus 4 little ones. Right side 6 little ones. Waiting for the call this afternoon for next orders. She gave me my trigger to keep at home until go time.
 
So probably 2 or 3 more days until trigger? Sound like things are going according to plan Dream :)
 
Looks like you&#8217;re responding well! So exciting.

Happy 19 weeks Sunny!
 
Yea I'm suspecting the nurse will tell me to come back Monday for another scan.

Happy 19 weeks Sunny. Almost half way.

What's you due date again Sunny?

Amber - sept 12
Tb- Feb 19
 
Sorry for anyone who reads the duplicate - just copying my update from my journal

Scan this morning went well. The dominant follicle on my left size is now 23mm which is good, we're ahead of the last monitored cycle I did.

In May we triggered on CD14 with a 20mm. The nurse suspects I'll probably get orders to trigger tonight so this will be CD12 with a 23mm. So a little bit bigger and a little bit sooner. Hopefully all just contributing factors to my BFP.

I'll wait for the call this afternoon from the nurse, but if she's right then IUI will be tomorrow on CD13.
 
Happy tater tot week Tb!!

So no crazy symptoms Dream? I really have a good feeling about this cycle, and hope we can soon add your due date to the list as well:
Amber - Sept 12
Sunny - Dec 8
Tb- Feb 19
 
Dream- yay for a nice sized follicle, and hopefully trigger tonight!

Tb- happy 9 weeks!
