So things seems to be moving at such a fast pace these last few weeks/days. 33 weeks today and feeling pretty good all things considered. I have gained just under 30 lbs which is ok with me. I gained 29 with my son and had him at 37 weeks so interesting to see where I will end up with this one. My mother in law got here from Morocco a week ago and will be here until August to help which is going to be great as having a new baby and a 5 year old is gonna be a new experience. We had a 3D/4D ultrasound yesterday and it was amazing. We did not do this with our son but went ahead and did this time and I was relieved that it really is a girl, lol...I had my doubts based on the first u/s techs reading at 20 weeks. My baby shower (Lovebird theme) is in two weeks on May 4th so looking forward to that as well. And our house also sold after less than two months on the market so we are frantically looking for a new one as I would love to be moved and somewhat settled before baby comes since want the extra space and to be closer to work etc for after baby comes. Our son starts Kindergarten this year so want him to be at one school versus move mid school year. My OB/GYN has been out for about two months as well due to some emergency surgery so have been seeing other doctors in the practice but I hope she is back soon as I would really love her to deliver our daughter as she did our son 5 years ago. So needless to say lots of things going on. Here are some pics to share as well...the first is me at 30 weeks and the second is the 3D/4D ultrasound of our daughter. Love her cheeks and pout so much...totally opposite of my son's face it seems.
I have had 12 IUIs, and 2.5 IVFs, so this is coming from experience. 17 is small to trigger if you were taking clomid. They should have given it another day or two before triggering. Not that it can't work, but most RE's say at least 19 - 20 for clomid and some even bigger.
Are you seeing an OB or RE? PLEASE, I plead with you or anyone struggling with fertility, do not waste your time with an OB. Their profession is to help you deliver a healthy baby, NOT get you pregnant. RE's however, exist just to GET you pregnant.
So, if you are seeing an OB and this round doesn't work....go see an RE and they'll be better able to help you.
Good luck!
