Carina- I am so glad to hear that things are going well! I'm sure these last few weeks have been hard and trying. I'll keep my fngers crossed for you and say a special prayer on August 27. We can't wait to see those special babies! NICU nurses are great and they will grow, grow while they are there!

Queen- I can't believe that you are almost 20 weeks. Every thing sounds great. So you are thinking a girl? When do you find out?

Disney- This is my first week back and it has already been crazy. I understand wanting to wait to get things settled.

As for me, things are going well. Davis has adjusted so well. I think he likes having us all to himself. He is also done some growing up, which was needed. Things should be final in October. I'm looking forward to a new beginning. Thanks for all your support!

Hi Girls,

I hope I can join you in this thread. I'm moving to a FET now after a failed ivf. I'm still waiting my AF since june and I took prometrium 2 times without results. My next appointment is tomorrow and I'm going to see how we will proceed now. But I'm praying to my doctor says that we can still do it in September!!
I hope I can join you here!!

to Tristan, Silas, and Elsa!!!! Three eagerly awaited special babies!!!! How wonderful, Carina, that you are able to now see them in all their beauty! I'll continue to pray that they grow stronger and stronger each day.

Gina- thanks for the update! I'll be back to school very soon, yuck! Where did the summer go????

Lua- This is a thread that has been up and running since last year, but I'm currently the one up for another FET this year, since my summer IVF resulted in freezing the embryos due to OHSS, which I see you experienced, too. My transfer will be Oct. 14th. I look forward to getting to know you and sharing in your experience!

Carina--congratulations, and welcome to the trips!!! Can't wait to see their pictures! I hope that little Elsa grows stronger by the day! It's great that the tykes are already enjoying mama milk!

Gina--glad to hear your update too! I can't believe that you're already back to school! I hope that you and Davis both have a great school year!

Lua--welcome! As Disney said, this thread is from last September, but a few of us are still hanging around! The FET is so much easier than a fresh cycle, and I wish you all of the best!

Well, chicas--tomorrow is 20 weeks! I can't believe it! This pregnancy is just whizzing by... I am up 15 lbs (not too bad, I guess...) and still feeling really good!

Carina--hope all of your babes are doing well. Keep us posted! How is your recovery going?

Disney--hope you had a good first couple of days at school! The summer just went by way too fast, but there's something about getting back into the rhythm of a school year that is nice...

Sept. 15th--wow--that's really coming up fast again! Are you doing the Follistim and Menopur as well?Keep us posted!

Disney ~ I just wanted to wish you the BOL with this cycle. I that you will have success & this will be the last time you have to go through it!

CQ ~ Hope you are enjoying your pg. I love the part that you are at...you are visably pg, can fell the baby moving, yet you can still sleep & get around easily & comfortably (I assume)....enjoy - it goes by so fast!

All is well with me & the babies. The boys have been home since last Sun.. Elsa is still in the hosiptal, but is getting very close to coming home. Who knows maybe just another week or so - I hope! I miss her so much. I want to bond with her as I am the boys. And I am selfishly tired of going back & forth to the NICU.

Carina- glad the boys are home and that Elsa is on her way to joining them soon! I'll bet your DD is a big help, too!

CQ- wow!!! 22 weeks!! Where does time go???? Hope you are feeling great! When is the next peek at the little one? What does DD think of your expanding belly!?

Yes, I can't believe the Lupron starts this week already!!! The new school year has been severely overwhelming, so it has been taking my mind off the wait for the FET. I'm very glad I decided to wait until October. Thanks for the good wishes! I'm looking forward to keeping you posted!

Disney (aka Lupron Lady!)--hope your shots go well this week! Stay away, hot flashes! I am glad that school has distracted you from your protocol... I think that it helps to have other things happening...

As far as u/s go, I am all done. I had a late one with DD (about 5 weeks before my EDD) because she was measuring ahead. Unless that happens this time, too, we won't see our kiddo until his/her birthday.
