Ready, I hear you on the nose issue. Last time it did not hit me until later. This time it was one of my first ah ha I might be preggo moments. I was at acu before my beta and she swiped an area with alcohol and holy smell overload. Ha!

Sadly some of us don't have a choice about pharmaceuticals and IVF. I cannot conceive naturally as I have no tubes after 2 ectopics.

How ever out of 4 cycles I've overstimulated twice. This time being the worst.

This cycle we used acupuncture, I've always used supplements for quality. Not sure what vitex is though.

Thanks mdc im going to need a cheerleader.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Thanks MDC! I might just have to start aspirin. I trust you all know what you are talking about and sadly I have little faith in the Drs I have worked with in the past 5 years. I know my hormones are raging because I want to tear my Dh face off. Just his presence is annoying me. I felt this for weeks with dd, poor guy lol.
4magpies-I am not judging anyone that uses anything 'unnatural', it all just scares the crap out of me. Even taking aspirin frightens me. My experience delivering ds in the hospital turned me off so much I homebirthed dd. I think everyone needs to do what works best for them. I have thought about Ivf but would never be able to give myself the needle. I'm amazed by women like you that can go through the whole process! Women are just amazing beings, aren't we? Can you imagine men doing any of this?? Haha

 

[Mdc]

Funny before IVF I was a complete needlephobe. Now I am an expert. Ha ha ha! If you asked me a couple years ago if this was the journey I would be on with conception assistance, I would have said no way...however the best decision for me too.

Ready, oh yeah if DHs had to do any of this the race would have been extinct ages ago.

 

[TTC First]

lol Mdc...You are so right about the needles. I can't imagine how many needles I have had in the last couple years. How about your modesty after getting those u/s done month after month?

I am so sorry about the loss after stopping the aspirin, I totally understand. It really bothers me that I had 3 losses before starting the aspirin and I feel that they could have been prevented. Interesting that the first cycle I start aspirin...bam...it sticks.

I am so interested to see the heartbeat with this one. Since I started taking the aspirin early, if this one has a strong HB I will know that it is connected.

 

[TTC First]

ReadynWaiting...good luck with your aspirin decision. Which part of Canada are you in? I am in Ontario.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Ttc I'm in Ontario too, East of Toronto.
I went and got myself aspirin...and 2 more frers which was a mistake. I used 3mu with a 4 hour hold and barely anything to drink and the test line looks like my 11dpo test. I'm freakin out now! With such strong numbers the test line should be dominating now. My boobs are no where near how sore they were either. I've been here far too often that I'm struggling to find hope. I have been nauseated most of the day off and on but maybe that's what I had for breakfast??

 

[dan-o]

Ready it will be your pee dilution surely? Xx

 

[dan-o]

Another human pin cushion here as I had a molar pregnancy and chemotherapy in 2009! I've had more hcg betas over the years than you can shake a stick at lol! Conversely, I have had none at all this time! Really had enough of all that lol x

Oh and scans, so so many scans... I'm a well recognised face in my local hospital EPU and maternity unit


ETA: Omg, I've just eaten the last of the Hagen Dazs and I think I'm going to see it again

 

[4magpies]

I know you weren't judging I'm just saying that some of us literally do not have a choice.

I don't know how many injections I've done, I've got 6 sharp boxes full because I've kept every one. I'm still injecting myself with clexane till I'm 10 weeks.

I've had 4 surgeries and more blood draws than I can count. It's ridiculous. All worth every second in the end though.

 

[4magpies]

Dan-o I've horrific heartburn tonight. Feel like I want to spew. Ergo!

 

[TTC First]

ReadynWaiting...I agree with dan-o, with such high beta numbers it's kinda odd that your line would be so light, I wouldn't pay attention to it. When is your next dr. appt?

You're not too far away, I am in Niagara.

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I hope so! Of course I'm all gloom and doom. I expect the worst when I need to expect the best.
I'm in Belleville (40 mins west of Kingston) so not too far.

 

[starsunshine]

Hiya, it was my son's birthday yesterday so we had a really busy day. I felt nauseous ask day and hardly are anything. I can't even stomach a cup of tea I'm really hoping it's a good sign as I've got my early scan tomorrow and I'm getting a little nervous about it.

 

[dan-o]

Good luck for your scan star!! How exciting!

I'm sat in the car at the Sunday market waiting for the rain to stop here, had a bit of a squall roll in overnight! Flood warnings!

star, i feel so sick and have a scan tomorrow, too! we got this!

 

[ReadynWaiting]

Good luck with your scans tomorrow ladies!!
Dan-o is this due to the hurricane?
I have a cousin in Bermuda that just got hit with it, lost all power but house is standing which is good news.

 

[Mdc]

Ready I agree with TTC and DanO that something on that test seems weird since your betas were so high. I would say not to worry but that is the pot calling the kettle black. I forgot when do you got back to the doctor?

Jumpingo and star best of luck tomorrow. Exciting and a bit frightening at the same time, but you both have this!

TTC first my last pregnancy where I was on aspirin was and iui and the first stick to.

4mags hope your heartburn is better.

Sounds like a lot of us have been human pin cushions and I agree modesty has been out the window a while ago. At my REs office I usually don't even have to sign in because they know me. Now being known at the coffee shop because you always get a certain drink is one thing but at the REs office something's very different. Yesterday morning I do believe I felt a bit queasy...keep it coming. Seems like quite a few Canadian ladies here. I live in Northhern California. Anyone else in the states?

 

[ReadynWaiting]

I don't know what was going on yesterday with that test. Today the line is way darker. I go in tomorrow for another draw so I'll try to stay hopeful until then. You can see why I freaked out, the test line is so light!

 

[dan-o]

That's freaky ready, the lines are like opposites! Glad you are reassured now! Stupid tests lol x
