Baby- can't wait to hear about your first ultrasound! Sorry to hear about this morning-- that sounds scary. I'm doing alright! They took the drain out of my side on Sunday so I'm almost back to "normal." I can walk again (in shorter spurts still) and went back to work on Tuesday.

I haven't had any doc appts since we saw two on the ultrasound (a whole week without docs! Crazy!) And our next u/s is in a week on 7/14. Of course I am now just super worried because I've gotten really excited about the idea of twins so I really hope to continue having good news. I've read so many things about vanishing twins and I really hope that is not what happens to us. This is such a crazy and very different two week wait with minimal info!

Thanks so much just uncomfortable and sore. I can't wait for y'all updates!!

Hello ladies! Sorry I haven't been on in awhile to update. I've been enjoying my summer break but it's a cloudy day today so I don't feel like going outside. More like a curl up with a good book or movie kind of day. Looks like a lot has been going on and sorry in advance if I missed anyone.

hoping- sounds like you had a nice vacation. Looks like your retrieval is coming up soon. Good luck! Oh and to answer your question. Our parents and my sister and some close friends who know our TTC journey know and we told grandparents at 10 weeks. We asked them to hold off telling people and everyone has been good about it except the grandparents lol. I haven't done any official announcement yet and I'm not sure when I plan to do that. I'm 13 weeks today and debating allowing family to share if they wish as long as it's not on facebook or anything but I still get nervous that I'm going to jinx myself. DH says I shouldn't worry that this little gummy bear is here to stay but I still finding myself holding my breath when I go to the bathroom. I hope this feeling goes away soon though overall I'm feeling good about this one.

Bens- hope you are enjoying your vacation. Have you had your ultrasound yet? How are you feeling have you felt the baby kick yet? I can't wait to feel it!

2moms- OMG twins! How exciting! Congratulations! How are you feeling? Genetic testing came back normal! Had the Maternity21 test done as being 35 I'm AMA. Such a relief. We could've found out the sex of the baby as well with the blood test but we are going to wait until delivery. It's been fun hearing everyone guess. My sister is having a girl and my parents keep saying they think I'm having a boy. I said to them are you sure you don't just hope it's a boy? lol I honestly have no preferences though if I have a girly girl I'm in trouble lol.

babypath- how have you been feeling? Anymore spotting? That is always so nerve wracking. Good luck with your ultrasound on Tuesday!

Cam- glad the retrieval went well and good luck with your FET!

afm- I'm 13 weeks today! Almost out of the first trimester! I've been feeling better overall but still get tired easily and nauseous if I wait too long to eat. I haven't thrown up this week though so that's a bonus. Some dry heaving every now and then though. My newest symptoms have been a lot of stretching, pulling and mild cramping. I think my uterus/baby are going through a growth spurt. I think I'm starting to get a tiny bump that isn't just bloat. I have been wearing summer dresses or yoga pants a lot cause they're more comfortable. Yesterday with my jeans I had to loop a hair tie through them instead of buttoning them cause it's too uncomfortable. My birthday is on the 13th so dh asked what I wanted for my bday and I told him maternity clothes lol so we might do a little shopping this weekend. I don't need to much stuff yet but I thought maybe a pair of jeans and I'd like to get a cute summer dress for my sister's baby shower which is a the end of the month. I'll be 16 weeks then and she'll be 28 weeks! As I said earlier genetic testing came back normal so great news there. My mom is coming to visit for my bday so I'm excited to see her. I haven't seen her since last August at my sister's wedding. Then I fly out two weeks later for my sister's shower.

Hope everyone is well and go July for some new BFPs and some more growing bellies!

Hoping I was on gonal f 200 menopur 75 ganirelex. I had Valium for ER it was nice. I wonder how long I have to wait for af to arrive so I can start fet process.

Cam how much did they give u?

At 720am 2 mg then at 745am 4mg

jfmolo- thanks! I feel pretty good. I'd say I'm mostly recovered from the OHSS, so now I'm just tired all the time and my nausea is from morning sickness instead of that! Glad to hear the tests went well.

Cam- 27 fertilized! That's so awesome! How are you feeling?

hoping- thanks! I had 3 valium- one for the night before retrieval, one for an hour before retrieval, and one for an hour before transfer. I don't remember the dosage. I remember talking with the nurse and at least the one for the night before was optional, as they just give it for people to be able to sleep instead of worrying.

afm- 7w1d today. Pretty recovered from the OHSS and now mostly in the "normal" first tri stuff of morning sickness (that is definitely named incorrectly) and being tired. I've gone to bed before 9pm most nights over the last week! Now just waiting on (and worrying until) Thursday to make sure we still have both twins (we're calling them peanut butter and jelly) and they both have good heartbeats!
