MisFixIt - So sorry for your BFN. Best of luck going forward.

Amanda - I too am 17 weeks and have been having weird cramping in my abdomen, typically on one side or the other. Per one of my pregnancy books, they are totally normal and are "Round-Ligament Pain". It's the ligaments as they are stretched and pulled to make room for the growing uterus. My book ...

Hey Tobee - I put a little Vaseline in each nostril at night and my bloody noses have stopped. They were really bad, several times a day before I started doing it. So try it out!

Helen - I had AF type cramps as well before getting my BFP. Fingers are crossed for you!

-Stacy

Just wanted to drop a quick note to say hello! Congrats on the new BFP's! Such exciting news! Good luck to those stimming and PUPO and getting ready for another round.

I'm doing well! Feeling great other than a bit tired. m/s started around the 6th week and ended around week 10. My pregnancy signs ...

So I've found an interesting solution to my nosebleeds - Vaseline! I put it inside my nostril before bed and I've had no problems in a week. Yay! My humidifier is really loud and annoying so I'm glad I've found a fix without having to buy a new one.

Had a great time in NYC seeing friends and ...

Congrats Sophie on feeling the baby move! How cool!

I'm off to NYC tomorrow to see my friends there and tell them the news. I lived there before moving to Chicago so it will be fun seeing everyone and sharing my excitement.

Hope everyone is doing well!

Hey Sophie- I am a short girl, and fortunately both Old Navy and The Gap have maternity jeans in short, regular, and tall lengths! So there may be something for you! As for the coat, I slipped the elastic tie through the button hole and then slipped the loops from each side over the button. So no ...

Hey! After spending $28 each for two bella bands, I found Be by Bellaband online on Target's website for $16.99! It's too late for me to return mine, but for anyone looking go to www.target.com and search Bellaband. Reviewers say it is the same as the more expensive version.

Glad to hear everyone ...

Renee - I got pregnant by a frozen embryo! So I'm sure your DH sperm will still be able to do the trick. Good luck and enjoy the time off from IVF over the holidays.

Renee - Can they put you on BCP and Lupron to control your cycle so you don't have another period before your DH returns?

To Have Fun - Good luck with the tests!

I too enjoyed both suppositories 3 times a day and progesterone shots every few days. I guess since my first attempt didn't work and I ...

Hey! Great news! My US and genetic testing went really well! My chance for Down Syndrome and Trisomy 18/13 is the same as a 20 year old...woohooo! The US was very cool since the little guy looks so much more like a baby....the tech tried to get him to move around a bit, but he was content sleeping ...

Hey Stephanie - Glad you were able to enjoy telling your family and friends yesterday. And how great people are so helpful! So much fun being able to celebrate!

Have a Happy Halloween everyone!

-Stacy

Hey Sophie, thanks for the info. I assume I will get my results on Monday then. I had my blood draw last week at a lab that will analyze it and get it to my OB for my appointment on Monday. I'll be so happy to see an US after 4 weeks of not having one.

-Stacy

Congrats on all the great results! Yayay! I hope to join ya'll on Monday! Quick question...I gave my blood last week and next Monday they do the US for the genetic screening. How long did it take for ya'll to get your results back? I guess I was thinking it would be that day since my blood work will ...

Yay Sophie on the US!!! Great news!!! I have my next US next Monday and my blood work from the genetic testing will be complete by then as well. I'm a little bummed DH can't be there on Monday after hearing your description of how active the little one is compared to earlier US! As for the 3-D US, I ...
