Good morning ladies,

Chaffins - Your little bean is a cutie. It's sweet that your DH crieda bit. I'm glad to hear everything is progressing nicely and the little bean looks healthy.

Basia - I'm glad you're doing well. How many weeks are you now? you must be almost to the 2nd trimester if they're going to be doing testing soon.

Kethryes - I'm so sorry about your coworker. It's an insensitive thing to say. It's nice that you're trying to be happy for them.

AFM - I'm now halfway through my TWW. I'm not having any noticable symptoms but thats alright. I'm hoping I'll have good news on Saturday morning.

Margie - ahhhh the TWW - hopefully this week will go fast for you.
I am 12 weeks 1 day pregnant today :D Honestly most of the time I don't feel pregnant and I keep forgetting that I am (except at night when I wake up to go pee 2-3 times). And I gained some weight but that just makes me feel fat and not pregnant LOL - my normal clothes are tight but the maternity clothing would be way too big.

Margie - Good luck with the wait!!

Basia - I can't believe you're 12+1 today! Amazing!!! I guess we're closer together than I thought. I'll be 12 weeks tomorrow! They have switched my dates because of my ultrasound at 9-weeks. Glad you're feeling well--I know what you mean about just feeling chubby. My jeans are all too tight but don't look "pregnant" yet.

Have any of you ladies who had IVF done PGS testing? I asked my RE how aggressive he would be because we're putting all our chips in and I would like him to give us the best chance. But because we are going to do PGS testing then he will only transfer 1 embryo. I am wondering if that's normal for RE's to only transfer 1 when PGS testing is done

TTC - I am happy to have you on the IVF train with me... I go for my initial consult friday. Looking forward to getting more info...

It will be a bit for me yet. I have to get my ovarian reserve tested again which I will do with my next cycle. Hopefully this brings us THB's!

TTC - did he say why only 1 embryo? I did not do PGS testing but I would still insist to transfer 2 embryos.

TTC - Glad to see that you are still able to continue with TTC. Hope the next few months goes quickly for you.

LS - Sorry about your dog. I agree try not to stress too much.

BabyPath - maybe it was just a late implant. But glad to know there is at least one healthy baby.

Glad to hear that the ultrasounds went well.

AFM - It has been so hot lately here, since we have a couple of hurricanes passing. I know it is probably bad for me to say, but I was really hoping that they would pass a bit closer, so we would get rain. Right now it is 2 in the morning and 80 degrees but feels more like 90. I am so ready for Hurricane season to end.

I am now half way through my TWW. Haven't really had many symptoms. The day of the IUI I had lots of cramping, then the days after that there was no cramping. On the 31st, I had cramping again, though it was more like pressure than cramping. I also had heartburn. Yesterday, no cramping, but I was constipated.

I am trying not to look too much into symptoms. I would say the only thing that stood out was the pressure/cramping I felt in my uterus area on the 31st.

One more week to go, I am going to try and hold out on testing as long as possible.

Jes- I had lots of constipation after my IUI- and then cramping on the day I suspect was implantation. Sounds similar! I hope this means a BFP for you!

I also had crazy dreams and leg cramps- kind of random. lol

Good morning ladies,

Chaffins - I stopped considering vivid dreams a symptom. I get them most nights. But the other symptoms sounded promising.

Jesk - I had massive cramping last week too. FX that it's a good sign for both of us.

Basia - I know my clinic will only do 1 embryo transfer for first cycles. It's one of their conditions.

TTC - I hope that your reserve levels are great. When are you getting them tested?

AFM - I tried putting in for my refill of Clomid twice this week since DH and I are going to be away. the first time they told me it couldn't be refilled until 02 sept. So I called today to try and get it refilled and now the prescription won't be ready until Tuesday. I'm hoping to go talk to one of them in person. I need to have it during my vacation or I'll have to wait another month if this cycle doesn't work out. I'm still keeping my fingers crossed about this cycle but I'm not feeling much of anything. I don't know what to think.
