good luck with your iui babybemine!! that's exciting!
and good luck with your ivf Trolley, also exciting! (though injections don't sound fun at all)

now that my (somewhat confusing) tests are done, I am waiting to meet with the doctor tomorrow to find out the next step.

in the meantime, I used OPK this month and we tried again hoping that since both tubes were open during this last test, maybe we have a better chance this month . . . i can test NEXT tuesday (12dpo) and would love a miracle this month since my birthday is next wed (april 17). Trying not to get my hopes up too much, but it's always hard not to.

happy that either way, we will soon have a new plan! i think iui is first because our insurance mandates 3 rounds of that before ivf, but i'll know more tomorrow.

Hey panda u r at your most fertile for 3 months after hsg....i got mine done in dec then went back to the docs in jan and they said they were referring us for ivf which was great and im just going through my treatment now so it omes round very quick i just hope it works!!
Good luck at the doctors let me know how u get on??

TTC hows it going huni?

Ladies where have u all gone im not happy about this thread going quiet lol.....how r all u pregnant ladies hows it all been?? enjoyable or not enjoyble???

[babybemine]

iui was a little achey. kinda felt like how it felt when i had the hsg/or a pap smear. I had cramping after and light spotting. They said that he had great spems to put inside me. they told me that the implantation went great so now we wait and see.

 

[panda fan]

doc told us we will start iui now. I have to call when I get my AF (still hoping I don't though) and then go for Day 3 blood and ultrasound - not excited about injections and having to miss work for all these tests, but know it will be worth it in the end

p.s. having fresh baked peanut butter cookies in the house when you are anxious is a bad idea, lol

Hi, hon :wave:

Everything is good, me and baby are happy and healthy.

I'm going into my 3rd trimester come this weekend and to be honest I can feel how this final stretch is going to be difficult just because of the physical discomforts I am having now. I definitely have enjoyed the 2nd tri the most and loved that period of time I had my energy back. When you ladies get your BFPs (which I know you will!!!), remember to savor the 2nd tri. It's true when they say you're over the adjustment and morning sickness/fatigue of 1st tri but not quite to the point of discomfort in the final stretch of the 3rd. I'm hoping Baby Eva is just going through a growth spurt and will give her mommy a break soon with the pains. I've been assured all is well, it's just because I am short in stature this little girl is running out of room sooner than other women. She just needs to start moving OUT instead of pressing UP into my ribs and things will get better. Of course I wouldn't trade it for the world but we're all human and there are some days that you get a little frustrated with your body and certain aches and pains (i.e. after doing an errand or two, limping or hobbling around like an old lady feels just lovely, lol)

This little girl feels like a little monkey with how active she is and how well I can feel her now. It is the oddest thing to be sitting there minding your business and your shirt starts poking around, LOL. It used to really startle me but I'm getting used to it now.

On the other hand, I am so excited to meet this little girl and knowing she will be here in around 14 weeks is crazy to me. I've pretty much bought all the things I think we'll need and just left a list for things that are nice for convenience but not necessary for my baby shower which is end of next month. I'll be 33 weeks by the time of that, I hope I'm not a total whale for all my guests by then I am one of those women that have had an obvious bump before the test stick dried so that is fun but sometimes people make rude comments about how HUGE you are ("are you sure you don't have more in there??!!"), I've just learned I need to not let these people upset me, it's not worth it. Had some arguments with my mom (she was hurt by my birth plan b/c I only want my husband and staff in the room when it's time to push and some alone time with my baby to bond before she got passed to them). Another thing I have found is some people will want to make your pregnancy all about THEM and you just have to do what's right for yourself and if they don't like it--oh well!

Anyway, I am rambling so I'll shut up now (my brain is all over the place!). I'll attach a bump pic I just took this past wknd at 26 week mark.

Just want to say I'm so excited for all you girls moving forward with the IUIs and IVFs. I hope you get your BFPs very soon and I'm spreading baby dust to you all

Ok, so good news, my HCG is going down faster than the first time around. Yay. Last week's was 221, this week's was 86! We're getting there. Not much longer for the next step. My doc's office already has the order ready to go when I do hit 0 or negative for the next blood panels - known as Thrombotic (sp?) panel. Once they are drawn, it will take a week or two to get results. It's 9 vials so they told me to bring a banana and juice. He, he...

Next...the chromosome testing finally came back...results are:

Products of conception showed a normal male karyotype
Had 46 chromosomes
It was x y
It was a boy ​

My hubby would have loved a boy. They said the other sac did not show any results because it might have been due to passing half on my own and half during the endometrial biopsy.

GOOD NEWS - all was normal with both!

She said it was hard to tell but both may have been boys, but both were normal. Twin boys...Man...that would have been awesome!

also Trolley went to my first pregnancy loss support group Tuesday night and it was AWESOME! I would have been 12 weeks that day. I was so nervous to go but I went through with it and I'm so glad I did. I had hives on my chest from nerves. He, he...it was a very small group. One hubby and wife, one girl and her mother, and two separate grandmothers and me. The first girl started on her story and I started bawling immediately...they told me it was ok, it was my first time. He, he...you should have seen my tissue pile, it looked like a mountain. They were so warm and welcoming. They all had just sad, sad, horrible late losses. I just felt for them so much. I will most likely attend the next meeting as it will be around Mother's Day and I will probably take my mom this time now that I know what to expect.

Tink, love your bump, you are too cute! Glad to hear all is great with you! Sounds like baby is ready to come out now. He, he...

 

[Tink80]

TTC, that must have been really hard to hear there was definitely one boy. I'm glad that the results were normal chromosome-wise. I want to give you a huge hug, I wish I could in person. I think the support group is a great thing for you and I'm glad you went and plan to go again. I thank God as often as I can remember for our blessings, I know it can be taken away so fast. You are an amazing woman who is so strong and I'm wishing you great happiness in your life because you deserve it. I'm glad it seems you are on the road to healing

Yes, it was very hard to hear but yes, i'm very glad about the good news on the chromosomes. Now we just have to figure out what is causing this. Thank you Tink, i feel your hugs from here!!! Thank you so much for your support.

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

TTC great news about the chromosomes and im so so pleased u have gone to a support group this is so brave u r such a trooper and being emotional and letting all go is what its for and u will get the best help and support there too big hugs xxx

 

[Miracle2012]

Hi Everyone just stopping by to say hello. I have been very busy at work and was very sick with a bad cold and still am. I see that you ladies have so much going on...
ttc - That is very great news about the chromosomes, this is first big step. You are a great inspiration for all your courage. You are in my thoughts... xoxo
Trolley- How are you? How are you feeling? Are you close to the egg retrieval or has it happen yet?
Tink - Love your pic, such a cute belly. Well You are very close to meeting you little girl must be so exciting.
Fruitful- How is everything? Are you getting a belly yet?

As for me I am 15 weeks, Heard the baby's heart 2 weeks ago. I am having a sono at 20 weeks seems so far away they won't do one before 20 weeks ... but hearing the heart was great. anyways can't wait to find out what I am having and will surely share the news with you ladies.

Baby dust to you all... I have a feeling we will get a few BFP soon. xoxo

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

Hey miracle how amazing to c the heartbeat bet it makes it so real now wow....

Ive just had my scan today and im responding well to the drugs egg collection may be next wed or friday its come round so quick im so excited i hope it works so much....i will let u know how i get it on...cant wait to hear what the gender is of your little one how exciting eeek

We so need a bfp soon

come on girls where r u???

hope u all r ok??xxx

 

[Fruitful]

Hi girls!

Trolley - that's so exciting that you're responding well! I'll be thinking of you next week and keeping my fingers crossed - I'm sure you'll be getting lots and lots of lovely eggs to turn into nice plump embryos!! How many days after the egg collection will they be doing the transfer? Keep us posted!

ttcbabyisom - that must have been really emotional for you finding out one of them was a boy. I think it's really brave of you to have gone to the support group (and especially so on the 12-week day) - it shows a lot of emotional strength, and I hope you find lots of warmth and support there. Continue taking care of yourself and doing your thing . Let us know if your HCG has come down and how the tests go. How long will you have to wait for the results?

panda fan - Good news that the sonogram was good! Wow, I can't believe you're starting iui - how exciting. Are you still waiting for af at the moment? Also, slightly belated Happy Birthday!!!! This is totally going to be your year.

babybemine - you must be in the 2ww at the moment? How is it going? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.

friskyfish - so sorry to hear about the bleeding, and also that you've been feeling discouraged. We've all been there, and I know it's rough. Have lots of hugs

Miracle - lovely to hear from you! So glad everything is going well. How have you been finding the pregnancy? It's so frustrating having to wait for scans but it's worth it when you finally get to them!

Tink - thanks for your lovely long post - that made me smile! What a beautiful bump (and a beautiful mama!) - I have serious bump envy I bet you can't wait to meet baby Eva!

All's well with me! We had a quick scan at 17 weeks, which went fine! The next one, which is the big anatomy one, will be at 22 weeks (I'm now 18 weeks), so I'm just waiting for that. We've decided not to find out the gender (though the doctor said she could see it at the last scan) and keep the surprise until the end! I definitely have a proper bump by now and am into maternity trousers, though I think people I don't know are probably still wondering whether I'm pregnant or just very out of shape It's starting to affect how I move, though, like, for example, I have to spread my legs out if I want to sit leaning forward, as the bump feels uncomfortable otherwise. I still haven't felt any movement yet, but I'm cuddling my little bump in the meantime. The second trimester really is much more enjoyable than the first one. You start feeling a lot better physically (though that probably only started around 15/16 weeks for me - before that I just felt kind of unwell) and, also, I feel so much less anxious, which is great. I think lots of pregnant women feel anxious, but when you've been ttc for a while, the stakes definitely feel higher, and I found the first few months quite nerve-wracking.

Anyway, with all the exciting stuff going on on this thread, I also have the feeling there'll be lots of new BFPs here in the next couple of months!!!
