3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[baby.wish]

Hi ladies so i had my first ultrasound yesterday, everything looked good baby measured 6w4d and i heard the heartbeat it was 118bpm. Doc said everything looked good but i'm not sure if that is considered an ok number?? I was just so excited to see the little bean on the screen.

 

[PinkPeony]

Yup that's good. I think you want to see anything over 110 at that point. My little twin A had a hb of 90 at the 6 week scan and he/she turned out ok in the end even though the doctors were concerned.

 

[Maverick007]

woohoo chris and babywish! so happy for you guys. everything sounds really good!

 

[StayHopeful]

Congrats on your scans, Chris and Babywish! That heartbeat sounds good, babywish. Mine didn't get faster until my little guy got a little further along.

Sunshine, congratulations!!! I remember when I first started on this thread and you were going through the process. You've been such an amazing support for me. I am so happy that your little bundle of joy has arrived!

 

[baby.wish]

Hey Ladies,

When did your RE release you to a regular OB? I have one more scan Friday and then I think if all is well thats it however they also do the genetic testing at 12 weeks.

 

[Maverick007]

hey there! it's really different for each RE. mine chose to release me after my 6 week scan, her reasoning was that i didn't have any factors that made me higher risk (e.g. prior miscarriages, etc.) and everything looked normal.

 

[PinkPeony]

I was released after 9 weeks but that was just because they kept wanting to check on little twin A. I think if he/she hadn't had any issues I would have been out of there after my first scan at 6 weeks.

 

[baby.wish]

Thanks ladies, did both of you get genetic testing done? did you do the nuchal testing?

 

[PinkPeony]

I did the Nuchal ultrasound, but couldn't have the blood test because it doesn't work with twins. I was fine with that. I wasn't keen on doing it at all but my DH really wanted to and family members kept saying I should. At the time I was just still a mess from going through fertility stuff - tests sorta freak me out bc I was used to getting bad results. In the end, it was totally fine, came back very low risk and I got to see the babies wiggling around so I'm glad I just went ahead with it.

Babywish yay for the heartbeat!!! It must've been the greatest sound to hear. My RE released me at 7 weeks right after the scan but I know all doctors are different. And I chose to do the Nuchal scan for the exact same reasons as pink and everything turned out a-ok.

Pink did I miss an update? do we know genders yet?? I'm hoping they'll be able to tell the gender at the 16 week which is a day after christmas.. Crossing my fingers!

Sunshine- congrats girl! You and DH must be over the moon. After all you've been through you finally get to hold your LO.... So amazing!

Sorry I haven't been on here much. Work has been absolutely positively insane, plus we just bought a house and move next month... So yeah crazy all around but all good things!!

 

[Maverick007]

I had a blood test to check for some things (not sure which specific things) but didn't do the other tests for downs syndrome, etc.,.

Aw yay! I had an ultrasound done yesterday (6w5days) heart beat was 120 the doctor said anything over 90 this week is good. When is your next one?

Yay congratulations on the house!

 

[PinkPeony]

Wow Strawberry! Congratulations! Moving house is such a crazy time. But so exciting.

AFM I had my anatomy scan yesterday. It took almost 3 hours!! But it was amazing. As for the sexes... We had the tech enclose them in envelopes which are now sitting on the xmas tree to be opened xmas morning. I'll be sure to let you guys know. I'm bursting to open them!!!!

Chris - So glad your scan went well!! So happy for you and Babywish.

Hi everyone I hope you are all doing well! There has been a lot of exciting news in here I can barely keep up! Just wanted to wish everyone the happiest of holidays and all the best for 2014. My little boy is 7 months old today. I feel like I blinked and he got so big! Part of me feels like as he gets older, my advice for those still going through LTTTC and assisted conception becomes less relevant. But two Christmases ago I really thought I would never be a mom, last Christmas I was just in second tri and very nervous and now I'm so excited to actually be a parent this year. I feel so grateful for my little miracle.

Pink I love the idea of opening the genders on Xmas. What a wonderful idea!!!

 

[baby.wish]

I just want to start by saying all of your ladies are absolutely wonderful. Infertility is hard enough alone but when you have such a wonderful group of women who support one another through good and bad feels like a family. Its nice to know that there are women on here in every stage of this journey that can rely on one another if they have any questions or just need to vent and someone is going through the exact same thing. For all of you a big THANK YOU!

PinkPeony soooo excited for you, its going to be a wonderful Christmas for you.
Maverick, Strawberry, Stayhopeful I hope the second/third trimester is being good to you. From the looks of it, it is!
Sunshine hows motherhood enjoy your little princess
Chris looks like we are really close i'm 7w4d!
SashiMimimi thank you for starting this thread and for coming on from time to time to check on us. It means alot

I'm just so happy that so many of you have finally gotten your BFPs. Baby wish is right about how lonely infertility can be and how great it is to find women online going through the same thing.

 

[PinkPeony]

Aw Babywish it's so true. It would have been so much rougher without you all to talk to over the past year and so happy so many have gotten their much bfp's too.
