Girls we have to, yet again start a new thread.

Hey, Ladies, where is everyone?

I had my big u/s yesterday and we're having a boy (yay!).  Most everything looked good except for 2 things: the nuchal fold thickness and the umbilical cord.  The nuchal fold was 6.1mm and the cutoff is 6.0, but since there didn't seem to be any other indicators of Down's, I think it's okay.  As for the umbilical cord, I have Single Umbilical Artery (SUA) which means there are only 2 blood vessels instead of 3 there.  I have an appt with the perinatologist on 12/9.

I'm improving...slowly.  I broke down and took a small dose of anti-nausea med this morning because I had to take DD2 to Mom's Day Out.  If I'd had the time, I could have made it w/o it, but trying to rush around and get somewhere by 9:30 a.m. was just too much for me.  We have our "big" u/s on 12/1 and I'm very excited.  I'm just afraid that if it's another girl, DS will be VERY disappointed (he's a very sensitive boy, sometimes).

Are your babies really active?  This one has busy days and quiet days so far, but it's still a little early (I'm 17w5d).  Have you picked out names yet?  We're still waiting to find out about the gender....

Hello All. Just dropping by with an update. I will be 19wks on Thursday and so far everything is still going really well. We found that we are having a boy and a girl! That's exactly what I wanted. DH is very happy too. We just ordered the cribs and other furniture for their room. Things are moving so quickly. I am amazed. I'm really popping out now and there is no hiding that I am pregnant.

Glenda: How are you doing?

I went ahead with the hysteroscopy yesterday and I am glad I did. They found some scar tissue and were able to remove it. Now we are set for December 19th transfer date for our frozen embryos. I am just hoping they thaw ok.

It's very strange to be doing this again, doctors appointments, calendars, my drugs get delivered tomorrow.

I hope you girls are going well.

Nikki- that stinks that you're still having digestion issues.  It definately sounds like an allergy.  Especially if the Alimentum didn't work.  I've heard some good things about Good Start formula.  But you are probably doing the right thing going to the gastro specialist.  You should get some answers after that.  Chase's colic lasted from 6 weeks to about 13 weeks.  Doesn't seem like long but when you're living in the day to day... it's an eternity.  So I have so much sympathy for you right now.  Hang in there.  It will get better.  I know it's hard to see them so miserable right?!?  I used to put a sound machine right by his head and put the waterfall sound on (sounds like a vacuum).  That machine was my saving grace.

Amy- I don't know about doing that test again.  That's the one where the put saline in the uterous?? I forget.  But why mess with anything?  You did carry Sierra alright so I don't know.  Maybe it's better to be safe than sorry so I can only say my opinion if I were in your shoes.... and I'd probably say no.  Good luck with the FET.  Can you believe i'm missing my infants and thinking about # 3!!!  Not seriously at all, just thinking : )

LJ, Audrey, Deb, Sweedy and everyone else, hope you are doing well.  Can you believe Christmas is almost upon us already!!!!!!!!!!!  I'm so not ready.  I still have to get the boys first b-day out of the way which will be chaos in itself!  Ugh.... I'm gonna need some good wine to get me through the next 2 months!  Hugs all

as for my appt today. The doctor said I have 1 8 cell grade A, 3 8 cell grade Bs and A 6 cell grade B and a 6 cell grade C. Audrey, I hadn't thought about them going backwards, like a 6 cell changing to a 4 cell. I might start the process at the beginning of my next cycle..seems too soon. I don't know. I still have 10lbs to lose and I ahve been drinking caffeine. I want my body is great shape befoer I put it through all this.

The doc recommended a hysteroscopy, 900$ to make sure my uterus is a "happy place"...his words. I had one before the last time and it was fine. Now I know I did carry Sierra and everything since that exam, but should I do another one to make sure there is nothign in there? TMI sorry
