SSS - No Woman Left Behind week of 10/14

[NikNJim]

Mom2b2007........fingers crossed that your IUI goes smoothly and you get your BFP!!!

Tbush.....good to see you! We missed you. Keep those updates coming!

Isabelle.....I would have to get a 2nd job to pay for all those pee sticks you buy! Maybe the trick this time is to hold off and resist the temptation to pee before your time......and then get your +

[alvin]

b7....I'm sorry you didn't have any to freeze. But my good friend did IVF last year, had none to freeze but both of her embies took and now she's got beautiful twin boys! Try not to focus on the other--focus on the embies snuggling in for a long stay inside!

smc....I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL. I hope you and your DH are getting through it all okay. So glad to hear your ET went well! Any updates on the other 9? Did any make it to freeze?

Isabelle....GOOD LUCK, girl! I hope this cycle is THE ONE! Then you can start spending your $$$ on baby stuff rather than pee sticks! LOL!

mom2be.....GOOD LUCK on Thursday! you are in my prayers!

tbush....I don't have any info to share on patches. But just wanted to say good luck with this FET cycle! I really hope this is the only one you have to do, too!

Melissa....glad to hear from you! Sounds like things are moving along!

Lisa....I can't wait til I can see the "little one" move. I bet it's SO COOL! I can feel her moving a lot now but still haven't seen anything!

nyc....I am so sorry you're dealing with m/s still. That just sucks! Can you take anything to help it? As for looking prego, people are telling me now they can really tell that I am and I'm 19 weeks today. I've been wearing maternity clothes--pants specifically--for about a month now. So don't worry, you'll get there!

Positive...how are you? Still planning for your big Tgiving get-together?

Dawny....how are you? Are you feeling better these days?

Isla....I'm also having very vivid dreams. Weird ones. I've had several dreams about the baby--all good--but still weird. Like I bring her home from the hospital but she's like 18 months old!!! LOL!

PG MENT***

So I had my 18 week sono last Thursday. All looks great! She's still a girl (LOL) I had them confirm again just to be sure! But most importantly, she looks healthy and she's active! We got a DVD of the sono and have watched it like 100 times! LOL! She's being pretty active right now as I type this. I guess it has something to do with the chips and salsa I just ate! LOL!

Hope everyone is having a good week so far!

Allison...........yay on the sono!! So are you telling me that if by chance I see a really cute PINK outfit, I can buy with relative safety that you will actually get to use it!!!

alvin and LisaAnne- So glad all is well. I haven't felt the baby move yet and am worried. What does it feel like, and where in my belly/uterus am I supposed to feel it?

Isabelle- So, when does the POASing begin?

mom2b- I will be thining all good thoughts for your IUI on Thursday. FIngers crossed.

tbush- Hello, and good luck with FET! I think we've had a couple of BFPS from FET on this thread.

b7- I'm sorry that none of your embies made it to freeze. Still, they transferred the best of the bunch and I think they do better inside their warm mama than in the cool petrie dish. When is beta? Crossing fingers for you.

Nikki- I'm glad your surgery date is set. Iknow you have had too many hurdles and delays, but it really seems like you will be on your way now. No woman left behind.

MrsE- So glad to hear from you. I hate those OPKs--they never worked correctly for me. Hoping your ART rollercoaster ride is smooth and fast and ends in your sticky BFP.

Dawn, Positive- How are you gals??

Hello to everyone else.

preg ment
I'm doing OK. Nervous about my 20wk anatomy scan on Friday. I know a lot of people have felt their bb move by this point, but I haven't, so yet another thing to worry about. What does it feel like, and where in my belly/uterus am I supposed to feel it? Plus, I am still waiting for the micro-deletion results from my amnio. Maybe I wil get those Friday too.

Good morning all!!

NYC, you will feel it somewhere below your belly button, depending on how she is positioned...it begins like a flutter....like butterflies or something and it is irregular and fleeting...then gets more frequent, then, more distinct...you can actually feel her moving around...and see it on the outside later on!!! I am sure you are just fine! Everyone feels it at different times, and you are just on the edge of being able to feel her now. Good luck at the 20 week scan!!!!!

B7, like the others have said, you have the ones that are the best right where they belong!! It is not uncommon to have nothing to freeze, that does not mean the ones on board are not going to make it!!! Praying hard for you!

Isabelle, how are things going?? Too early to POAS, but hoping something is brewing in there!!!

Alvin, Congrats on the wonderful scan!!! I only was able to see her move on the outside once, and it was soooo slight....you will see it soon too!!!!

K, gotta get going! Hi to everyone!

NYC....I just read yesterday somewhere that you can feel the first movements anywhere from 16-22 weeks. In fact, one of my friends didn't feel her baby until 21 weeks. So don't worry. I promise you'll feel it soon. The first time I felt it, it felt like a muscle twitch or spasm in my lower abdomen but from the inside--about 3 inches below my belly button. In fact, I thought that's what it was at first but then it kept happening and I realized it was her. Now it feels like bubbles or flutters but the other night she gave me a very pronounced kick right in the middle of my belly--like a hard thump. I think she must be doing cartwheels in there or something! LOL! GOOD LUCK at your 20 week scan! I know all will be just great!

Nik....yes you can definitely think pink now! LOL! I am so glad your surgery date is set. You are finally on track now and I am so excited!

Lisa....can't wait to see the movement from the outside and DH is anxious to be able to feel it! He tries every night--puts his hand on my belly--but no luck so far!

[wanting baby]

Hey girls it's the long lost sister. I keep checking in on you. I go for my consult on Monday sounds like my Dh pretty much had that new job so I am going to try real hard to get in 1 more cycle before he loses it.I'll let you all know how the consult goes.

B7---- Good luck honey sending you lots of sticky vibes hope those embies are snuggling in

NYC-----good luck on your 20 week scan

Just a quick second - we have to go and finalize some things for tomorrows memorial service...

but...

we got the call this morning and TWO made it to freeze! We are so excited! I know there is no guarantee...but - we had NOTHING last time...

Sorry I haven't gotten to personals in a while - things are just so crazy/busy around here! I hope you are all well and I'll be back soon!

[MrsEckert]

Oh, SMC! That is just fantastic news! It puts your mind a little more at ease, doesn't it?

Remind me: when is your beta?
