Kas-Some woman have a cervix of 3.5 throughout their whole pregnancy. I think they tend to get worried when your cervix is shortening at a fast rate. The fact that your doctor wants to put a stitch in means he is being proactive. That's a great thing. You will most likely end up on bedrest at some ...

About the weight gain issue, my gestational carrier will be 34 wks tomorrow and I believe she has gained a total of only 20 lbs. Her OB is just fine with that. Our babies are actually large for their gestation. I believe they are both about 5 lbs now.

I think you are fine too. I took follistim 300 IU for about 12 days. It really depends. They will check your ovaries by ultrasound and will decide on the exact day for you to stop. Good luck!!
