Hi ladies, it's been a while... this pregnancy has been a bit intense, and combined with our move I've been exhausted for weeks. We realized a few weeks ago that these babies were impatient to meet with us so we had a bit of time to get the steroid shots and rest some more. Then 10 days ago I went to l&d because I kept vomiting and was getting dehydrated. Turned out my labour was starting. Four hours and two pushes later and our girls arrived. I was super happy they let me deliver naturally and without pain meds. Our girls are small but feisty and oh so adorable. After ten long days in the nursery to monitor a few issues we were allowed to go home today. I kinda feel like a zombie from the lack of sleep but I couldn't be happier. Now I have to wait for that baby blues to pass before I feel like myself. I can't wait to read all your baby updates!

Juliee1, congrats!! How early did your girls arrive? So glad to hear you are all doing well. The sleep deprivation is really shell shocking, hey? What are their names?

Congratulations to those whose little ones have made their appearance. Glad everyone seems to be doing well!! I am still anxiously awaiting baby's arrival and it's driving me crazy! I can't wait to be able to hold her in my arms after 5years of trying to get to this point! But she seems quite comfortable in there! Looking forward to hearing of more arrivals soon! And hope all the new parents to be are adjusting well and enjoying every minute!

Our little man Tucker arrived on the 23rd, two days past his due date. My water broke on the 20th, so after 48 hours of stalled labour I was on a pitocin drip. That ended in an epidural and a c-section when I stayed at 8cm for 7 hours and baby started to not tolerate contractions well. The OB figures the fibroid was preventing Tucker from getting his head in the right position to dilate the rest of the way. Clearly, nothing went the way we wanted it, but I'm happy that we did everything we could to minimize interventions before the section. And we were able to make the decision calmly before it became an emergency.
Hope everyone is doing well. I'll try to post a picture later :-)

The problem - two girls can't make a baby without some help

1/15 - cancelled, no dominant follicles - looks like I have an ovulation problem
2/15 - IUI #2 - 50mg Clomid - BFN
3/15 - 100mg Clomid - cancelled, missed my ovulation
4/15 - IUI #3 - 100mg Clomid - BFN

6/15 - Stimming for ER
7/15 - 20 eggs retrieved, 19 fertilized, 15 embryos at day 3, 8 frozen at day 5
8/15 - MRI scheduled - no septum! No surgery. Just a whopper of a fibroid, 9.5cmx8.5cm

Is anyone else overdue!!!?? I'm going crazy I feel I've waited so long and now my baby doesn't want to come haha. Also of course now that we are booked to be induced on Wednesday I'm nervous for any possible outcomes of that I know there are more because your body isn't necessarily ready for it but also am so eager to meet this little one but I feel the baby blues have started already and I haven't had her yet I just have so many emotions all at once and am not sleeping which doesn't help so just curious anyone else still waiting or had similar feelings?
