Hi Everyone. I just found out that my twins aren't twins but triplets! We are leaving on June 30th to move to the DC area (Old Town Alexandria). My DH will be stationed at Bolling.

Dr Parker would like to do a book with stories of his IF patients. I am not sure if he wants just "successful" outcomes or if he just wants various journeys. My opinion is that the book should have stories from all aspects, because as we all know, there is a dark side to infertiltiy. So if you...

Ladies, I am not pregnant yet, but we are trying. I have been trying to come up with creative ways to tell my family/friends back in the states that we are pregnant when it happens. We are stationed in Germany. Can you share the creative ways you told your family/friends? Any ideas will be...

So I'm seeing a civillian OB and today at my appointment the RN was telling me that another Tricare patient of theirs was told that the 1st trimenster NT screen wasn't covered, anyone else know about this?

Hello ladies, I'm moving to Ft. Bliss this summer and am doing everything in my power to be pregnant before then (FET, maybe fresh IVF). My RE wants me to make sure I have a maternal-fetal medicine specialist ready to take me on as soon as I'm pregnant since I have a history of incompetent...

So, I had my 32 week appointment today...and shocked to say the least! In one month, I have gained 10lbs, which I'm still in the normal weight range for my height and gestation. The doctor told me that Madelyn is roughly 4.5 lbs and could be 17-18 inches long. They did an ultrasound because she...

So i know this topic has been discussed before but everything i saw was outdated- Have any of you given birth while on tricare standard? What is the difference? What kinds of out of pocket costs did you incur? I am seperating from active duty about a month prior to birth but as a dependent...

As some of you ladies may know, my DH is currently deployed to Afghanistan. I'm due April 1st and he has his R&R scheduled for April 1st, which means more than likely he won't make it back in time for the birth. (Scheduled flights from AFG is twice a month usually around the 1st and 15th for...

Have any of you ladies had any experience with GBS? I was told today at my OB appt that I am a carrier and all I know is that I hafta pickup antibiotics now and have them for when I deliver, and they may do c-section. I dont want to google, because I know I will just freak myself out, so if any of...

My DH and I just had our 7 week u/s and our RE told us to go ahead and make a 10 week appointment with our OB....but I just checked the website for my practice, and she doesn't work there anymore :( Does anyone have a recommendation for an OB at the Johns Hopkins Community Physicians at Odenton?

Hey all! I usually lurk and never post here, but I wanted to say hi! A little about me: DH and I are both AD Air Force and stationed in IL. We are expecting our first in January 2011 (but I have a feeling he'll be here late december). After two ectopics and a diagnoses of blocked tubes, we were...

Okay girls who have registered...where do you even begin??? I am not quite to the stage that I should have a registry, but I thought I would start because I thought it would be a daunting task. We won't find out what we're having until next week, but I don't think that will make a difference on...

I had my 19 week OB appt yesterday...and got some interesting news. I'm sitting in the room for about 15 minutes waiting for the NP to come in and when she does, the first thing she says is "I'm sending you to Dr. Jones in Shreveport for a Level II u/s." Of course, I'm wondering why and start to...

I have been having some serious nose bleeds and sinus headaches for the past week. I've had allergies in the past, but never had the nose bleeds or sinus headaches to this extent. Has anyone else have/had these symptoms? Lisa Marie
