Sara and Lauren: thanks for your help with the info on the cysts. I will be sure to chat with the OB when I go in on Jan 9th, just to follow up. As for pain, it was totally weird tonight at dinner, I had some sharp pains in my right side. I have not had these at all until today. Maybe it is the little guy just growing, but I will now just keep my eye on it now.

Rayne and Jojo: I will try to remember to call the clinic in the morning about the extra meds. I totally forgot to do that today. Thanks for the info.

JenD - Jack is so precious!! He has an adorable smile! I love the "Sleep Thief" shirt!

Faith - I will be that your pain proves to be just growing pains.

Ash - I'm keeping both babies in my prayers!! I will be praying that the week flies by until you can check in with them again on Monday.

Lauren - wow...the 29th!! Less than 3 weeks...although I know that seems an eternity. I hope maybe you can sneak a peek sooner.

Jen78 - I will be keeping my eyes on both threads to see about your U/S today! Good luck!! And thanks for hoping I will be here soon too...you and me both!!

Sara - the 4-D pics sound amazing. Sounds like your little ones are doing well!!

Crob - miss you!! I am praying for you!!

Rayne - I can't believe it...7 months!!! You were just finding out you were pregnant when I started here...time sure does fly! I am so happy things are moving along so smoothly...good luck with your glucose screening!

Hi TPbaby, jojo, and anyone else I missed...

I just have to say that I love this thread too. It's very informational and I think it's good for you all too because I'm realizing how much you all weren't sharing before (unless through e-mail or PM or on another thread)...it's great that you can still keep the Azoo community and share in an open forum now. I hope you all have a great day...

JenD, baby Jack is absolutely adorable! Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Sarah NJ, I have never seen a 4D picture just a 3D one but it sounds amazing. I´m glad your babies are nicely snuggled inside of you and getting bigger by the day. I can´t remember if I mentioned that my mom was on bed rest for pretty much her whole pregnancy with me. She had had six miscarriages prior to me and the doctor said if she wanted to have a baby she should not move at all.

Crob, keep for you.

Also, a big thanks from my sister to all of you. I emailed her your nice words of encouragement and she was so grateful! She hopes to also be another success story just like you all and maybe then she will feel brave enough to post.

Jen, good luck on your ultrasound today. Ash, I´m both for baby A and baby B (a teensy little more for baby B just because he/she needs it more at this time). Faith, I hope the cyst thing gets all figured out.

Hi to everybody else I missed.

Faith - I think you are having what I was having, round ligament pain. Google it and see if it sounds like it. We are close in due dates and now is when that starts. I had it for 3 days now it feels 100% better although from what I hear it will be back. I also read about your ultrascreen. Do you have to send in a card with a blood sample?

JenD - Jack is so cute. How are things? Is he sleeping at night yet?

Jen78: I agree, happy we are together now! What a journey you & DH have had together! Enjoy every single second of being pg! It's amazing!! Yep, the GTT (glucose tolerance test) is routine for all mommies between 24wks-28wks. I am dying to hear about your US!

Ash: for Baby A and Baby B!

JenD: Oh my! What a ham! Jack looks like a happy little guy - his smile is the cutest!

Kris: Thank you Time sure does fly by - I kept a journal of all of our appts with RE and UR, my USs, each type of injection, BW results, etc. It's amazing to look back and see how far DH & I have come. What a journey! Not too much longer for you to complete yours!

Faith: Reminder~Call the clinic to ask about your meds!!!

Lauren: Thank you Still hoping I pass! How are you feeling? Any m/s?

For those of you who may not know & are having yucky m/s, Vitamin B6 50mg twice daily may help.

to all!

Hi,
I am new to this board in general, but I tihnk I will be lurking between the other azoospermia board and this one. I find it amazingly inspiring to hear the successful journeys.
Hope to share mine one day.

Jen78--I'm with Rayne! Waiting for your update, girl! Please post soon!

JenD--your Little Man is simply adorable! He has a sly smile... He's going to be getting into some things! Ha! Isn't mommyhood amazing?

Ash--congrats on your two beans! I hope that Baby B is looking nice and strong next week. It's great to hear that Baby A is right on track.

Amy--I don't think that I've told you congrats on your BFP (there's been a lot of activity on the other thread!). So here's a shout-out to you!

Naomi--glad you'll be checking in here too... It is encouraging to know that MFI can be overcome. DH and I were totally lost when he got his d/x in 2003... I didn't find the forum until last fall, and I am grateful that I did. It's comforting to know that you are not alone in your journey.

A big howdy to everyone else!
