Congrats linz!

Thanks, guys.

I am so sorry for your loss Trace.

I am just shy of 20 weeks. We finally announced on social media, as I am feeling very hopeful that we will actually be taking two babies home. We are starting to get the nursery ready. I feel the babies move everyday!

I'm so sorry for your loss Trace.

linz- CONGRATS!

konapoppy- 20 weeks is when we announced on social media as well. I am so happy you can feel the babies move daily.

I'm 30 weeks and still haven't announced on social media. I crack up whenever people see me in person because most don't know if I've just gained weight or if I'm pregnant and it's funny to see whether or not they say anything. I just don't want to post because I'm still afraid of jinxing things!

[loira]

King26, we never did a social media announcement. And because we lived abroad for most of my pregnancy, I had some very surprised friends when we finally posted a newborn photo.

Congrats linz!

DD got her first set of shots yesterday. She has been extra sleepy since then. I've been working on putting together a birth announcement to get printed. Is it too late for that? Do people even still do that kind of thing?

Not too late. Yes, definitely still done.

Whoot! My RE appointment went so well yesterday. I just really love my RE. He's the kind of doctor you always hope for. He listens, he's compassionate and he is flexible to do what you're comfortable with. Most importantly for me, he gives me a lot of confidence and information to make decisions that I feel good about.

I'm glad we went ahead to the RE. So many people say things like "well just wait and see what happens naturally" "it's so easy to get pregnant the second time" etc etc, so I was really second guessing myself the other day- like I was rushing things or something. When I asked about what the chances of my cycle "re-regulating" itself or working properly on it's own (I have ovulation issues) he said the chances were pretty slim.

So...we started clomid yesterday, only 50mg, so we'll see what happens. I got pregnant with 100 last time, but we reduced just to see if I would respond to 50. Monitoring next week to see if this cycle is a go for TI.

Anyway, sorry for the long story, I was just so...hopeful... I wanted to share with people that understand IF!

trace, I'm so sorry for your loss. The timing adds insult (and surely a lot of stress) to injury.

Once I went to the RE I felt so much better, like we finally had a plan of action. But I know it takes time to get to that point mentally. Glad you are comfortable with him!

have I mentioned before how much I haaaate oral BCPs? I'm having some work-related drama which I won't go into, but because of it, I've been crying off and on for a week. I started crying again randomly at lunch with my SIL. I was like, I don't know why I'm crying! my SIL asked if I had started hormones yet (she's done a FET before, so she understands). then I was like duh! of course, that's why I'm crying.

so.

Thank you. I still can't believe it. When I think about it (which is most of the time) or when I heard H tell some people last night, it just sounds stupid and unbelievable really. I'm still kicking myself for not coming home sooner even though we had no idea and he was doing so good according to my mom and doctors.

pooh8402- I hope the work stuff improves soon.
