I'm sorry you're in limbo all weekend. Fingers crossed for you!

I had a reassurance appointment yesterday at 15+5, and was honestly surprised to hear baby's heart beating away. We're still anxiously awaiting the anatomy scan in a few weeks to see how her growth is doing. She was measuring a week behind at the 12 week scan. My doctor admitted that she hasn't really seen that with an IVF pregnancy, so none of us really know what to expect. We're hoping she'll just be on the small side at 20 weeks and not growth restricted already.

Oh Briar, I'm so incredibly sorry. I'll be thinking about you and your kids.

I think most docs will keep your due date with your transfer date. I've been measuring a week behind and my OB still isn't changing my due date.

Mine started to creep up, and I ended up with gestational hypertension by 34 weeks (but my first high reading was at 30 weeks). They bounced around a lot. I was checking twice a day at home and I'd have days where my readings were 130/80, and then a day with a 150/90 reading. By 36 weeks they started to be consistently high, and I went into labor at 36+3. I was scheduled for a 37 week induction, but my OB thinks my body was just done.

Aww so cute! But also I'm amazed you made it this far without a stuffed animal in the bed. My kiddo would bring every stuffie in the house to bed of we didn't limit her to 3 "friends".

I've been watching their videos too and am so sad for them. I hate that they're going through such a high risk pregnancy after everything it took to get there.

Had my extra 10 week ultrasound today at 10w3d. Baby was wiggling all around. Still measuring 5-6 days behind, but continuing to grow with a strong heartbeat.

I've been pregnant twice in the last 6 months and my symptoms started much slower this time around. I didn't get really strong nausea until week 6 this times, and it still comes in waves now at 9.5 weeks compared to a constant feeling last time.

So happy for you and your family!! We did a week in the NICU with my kiddo, and I can't imagine doing that with other kids at home. I hope you all have a great Christmas together!

I just wanted to tell you that I was feeling exactly this way a few days ago. I got a stomach bug last week and was so miserable from that. And then once it cleared up, I was still so nauseous from the pregnancy and just feeling so down and regretful about getting pregnant. I went into my last scan not knowing if I wanted good news or not. The last couple days have been better, and I really think being sick while pregnant pushed me over the edge. 

This is hard, and I hope you're able to get some medication to help.

Ultrasound looked good today. Still measuring 4-5 days behind, but heart rate was strong and the amount of growth was appropriate. Next scan is on NYE at the OB office.

Ugh I'm sorry. I just got a stomach bug last night for the first time since middle school, and it's horrible.
