Us IVF'ers have so much bloat to start with from all the stim meds that the belly just sort of keeps expanding instead of a natural conception without any of the drugs where you might actually lose a little bloat before the belly actually starts to pop.
It's been an uneventful week. I'm still feeling like a million bucks..beside the belly issue that has now been resolved. Still getting tired in the afternoons, still no nausea or morning sickness to speak of.
This is our little secret for 3 more weeks. The big reveal will be on Thanksgiving, and honestly, at the rate I'm going, the belly will reveal itself without us having to say anything.

Yay!!!! What a milestone - just from my two cycles of IVF, I need maternity pants!!!
I'm amazed you held out as long as you did! I was unzipping from the start! I bought my first pair of secret fit belly pants at week 13 and have been wearing them ever since. I needed a bella band to keep them up at the beginning, but they are so darn comfy!
That will be so amazing to share your news on Thanksgiving!!
Yes, it wasn't much of a secret for mine either - it's harder to hide when you're already bloated. Exciting to be in maternity pants though. You may get tired of them by the end, but they are so much more comfy. Glad that you are feeling well still. What a relief! I kept a pregnancy journal with Dallas, but didn't with Myles. It was neat to look back on how things were going at the time. This will serve the same purpose - how neat. Take care - Mavis
That's wonderful!! When do we get our first belly picture?!?! -Shannon
Hope you have a great Thanksgiving getting to tell everyone your great news. And enjoy those maternity pants every day you slip them on. :-)
How awesome! Congrats!! I know how you feel about the pants. I'm only 5 weeks along and my post IVF-bloat is already giving me serious pant issues :) DH and I love the little fruit-comparisons to baby's size. Where do you get them? Can I steal them for my blog?
I am seriously considering doing the same. I am down to only two pairs of jeans that I can be comfortable in. I am feeling pretty good too so I think we are lucky girls!
