AF is here. On to another cycle.

 

[Miracle2012]

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!!!

Hey Fruitful good to hear from you. Time is flying huh! already 18 weeks for you wow... I am on my 16th week and i had the worst Round ligament pain, it was so painful all week end but my doctor said it is normal, however it was scary. I am feeling much better now. I am enjoying every minute good or not so good . Anyways I think you are very patient to wait until the end to get the gender, I can barely wait...lol. I am happy everything is going well on your side.

 

[Miracle2012]

Trolley Yeahhh good news for your 10 beautiful follies. Don't worry about friday, everything will be fine, please keep us posted.

 

[Miracle2012]

Tink, I am sorry to hear about your father, My father had an accident last year too and it was very scary, It was a slow recovery but He is now doing great. You have to stay positive, the good news is that he is making progress, I will keep you in my prayers.

 

[Tink80]

Hey, ladies. The tech wasn't extremely talkative but she did tell me a few things. Baby is measuring a little bit ahead and my amniotic fluid is a little more than usual. So the combination is probably what did it. She thinks most likely they'll just monitor here and there. Definitely still a girl, head down, measuring approx. 3lbs. 7 oz., and was sucking on her umbilical cord, LOL!! she took a few 3D pix which i've attached.

Dad's coherency comes and goes. He'll be hospitalized at least for a few months as he needs specialized brain rehab. They said he could potentially be in rehab for two years but for now he has to stay where he is because it's the only hospital in the state that does such specialized treatment for brain injuries.. I'm going to visit him on Sunday.

Babybemine..sorry to hear about AF and good luck on your next cycle.

Trolley and Panda...how's it all going?

Miracle, good to hear from you. I've had pretty bad round ligament pain myself this whole pregnancy. It's pretty crazy how painful it is and scary at first. It actually was my first symptom before the test stick dried!! My body wasted no time moving things around.

Hope everyone else is well. Fruitful, how are you feeling? Also, TTC, I hope you get some good news soon with your levels.

Trolley! That's so exciting. You could try telling them you definitely want two kids and you are worried that your insurance only covers so many ivc treatments. That seems fair. (Don't know what you insurance situation is. I know mine only covers 6 ivf per LIFETIME)

Hoping you get a nice strong implant!

I had my first iui this morning so 2ww for me. I go back in for my test on May 10th. Not too much pain or cramping so that was nice.

Hey Panda thats great news its come round so quick for u too....how amazing i got everything crossed for u GL

 

[panda fan]

2ww is always slow, but glad to not be doing injections every night.

However, the progesterone supplements are giving me some annoying side effects. Sore nips and occasional shortness of breath (I googled this and it seems like it's not uncommon). Also had some nausea and low energy today. I'm hoping I can adjust to this rather than it getting worse. It's only day 2 of taking it.

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

Hi ladies just to let u know im officialy PUPO We had 2 5day embies put back in fingers crossed yay

So im in the 2ww with u panda when u thinking about testing?Im the same with progesterone really sore and swollen stomach...we were told to test a week 2mo would like to say thats when im going to test but i mite cave

Hope everyone is doing well xxx

 

[babybemine]

I havent had to trigger yet. I go in for ultrasound and usually O shortly after. Go in tomorrow for ultrasound to find out how my follicles are doing. t

just got a call to come back in tomorrow morning for another u/s and bloodwork

babybemine - what cycle day did they have you trigger?

Friskyfish - are you still around? any updates on the bleeding? I hope everything is going okay

 

[panda fan]

trolley, they moved 2!!! that's great news! I'm so excited for you!
i have a test at their office on may 10 so I am going to try to hold out until then
that would be 12 days past iui so I think testing earlier might be futile anyway

i have no tests in my house right now so i'm less likely to be tempted, lol

babybemine - good luck on your 2nd cycle! each one brings the probability much higher! yay!

2ww is so hard but since i likely have adhesions causing my ovaries to be out line with tubes, iui is unlikely to work so waiting the 3 cycles before i can do ivf is very frustrating - knowing i have follicles growing though and that small possibility for a miracle in the meantime is good, the hope keeps me going

 

[Tink80]

Hey, ladies!! So much excitement happening with you.
Just want to let you know I'm reading up and totally sending you mega baby vibes

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

Hey Panda the 10th is when we r supposed to be testing too yay....i mite cave as af is due the day before....oh how exciting....how u feeling...anything different?

Im having some crazy dreams but think thats prob anxiety....i only got one cheapy test in my house so i think i will be ok unless i notice something really different im gonna hold on /

Fingers crossed for us both xx

 

[panda fan]

yay, for the 10th, perfect 10 perfect 10!!! maybe it's your lucky number?

i have soooo many symptoms esp bigger and bigger boobs every day (my husband loves this) but i am assuming they are all just from the hcg still in the system and from the progesterone . . .
today is 6dp iui so i'm trying to have happy implanting thoughts

i am having crazy weird dreams too? i didn't even know that could be a symptom. i thought i was just plain crazy, lol

 

[Trolley_Dolly]

Fingers crossed 10 could be my lucky number didnt realise that lol....im trying to not symptom spot as i think alot of it is caused by the progesterone...i got sore boobs and stomach is achey very much like af sign only slight thing different was i could hardly keep my eyes open and had no energy yesterday.....

How u feeling....Happy implant thoughts coming your way xx

 

[babybemine]

My follies were too small at my ultrasound. A 16.5 and a couple of 13's. Go back Sunday for another ultrasound if I don't have my + on OPK sooner. If I get my + then I go for IUI. If not then I have the repeat ultrasound and maybe a trigger depending on how big my follies have grown.

 

[panda fan]

good luck babybemine!!

i'm just waiting for my test friday. i think i am going to test on thurs by myself since i don't want to get emotional at doc's office if BFN. hubby can't come with me so i will be there on my own and with all these hormones in my system i'm a little touchy. this way i'll have warning.
