AFM, we heard the heartbeat today. Relieved now after a tense ultrasound. I've never had such an early scan, but it made me nervous initially since you can't see much. The doctor said everything looks good though (seven weeks yesterday) and I'll have a repeat scan 8 days from now.

Yay 2plus!!!! sooo happy for you babe seeing a hb is fab hun!! Yipe for our next rainbow baby! Can't wait to hear how your next scan goes sweetie fingers xd & happy & healthy 9 months to u sweetie pie xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx I'm glad that my enthusiasm has kept you going hun!!!!! I do really believe it is just that one good egg but am gearing up for O today (had positive opk tonight) and did find myself thinking how many times do I have to go through all this ttc crap ........... - oh for the days that I got pregnant and everything was just fine!!! Oh well - I'm so happy for u hun and that makes me feel loads better xx

Charlie I hope you are ok hun xxxxx u haven't been on here for a while and i hope ur ok babe whatever may be happening with Zoe just know that we are all here for u & thinking of u hun whatever is going on with u xxxxxxxx

Maxxi how are u babe? What is going on hun? Any progress with ur stims & getting the IVF going? Hope ur well hun xx when will ur IVF be sweetie? My friend in real life had an ET about 12 days ago and no sign of af!! Clinic told her to test tomorrow morning and I have butterflies in my tummy with nerves for her - she is testing tomorrow morning and I am praying that she is pg as she only had one embryo that was chromosomally grade A. She already has a DS child so a sticky bean would be just awesome for her!! Fingers xd ......

Mgirl good to see you back sweetie pie - cd27 cool!!!!! Fingers xd u get ur rainbow hun xx I know how u feel though - I feel like I have to brace myself now every time I'm in the 2ww - if I get a positive I tend to be a bit here we go again. sigh! I keep thinking I must finally be due a golden !egg just on sheer numbers, but really feels like looking for a needle in an haystack! Agh ..... anyway I suppose all we can do is stay positive and keep going ..... fingers xd for u though - are u going to test hun?

Fandabby how are u hun? HOw is Mistique she must be getting big now xx

Seren welcome to the thread x lovely to hear ur positive story after all those mc's gives me some hope that I shouldn't give up quite yet!! I know I'm blessed with my 3 gorgeous kiddies but waiting for my rainbow is tough ....

Afm - have to say have been a bit distracted this month as we have some exciting news! We found a fab house in St Albans put an offer in and had it accepted so hoping to get out of LOndon in the next few months - very excited - it has big garden for the kiddies, near good schools and I love St Albans so very happy. My honey is a builder so we will extend out the back and into the loft so will be busy for the next while ..... will be good as will stop me dwelling on all this ttc malarkey .....

Congrats 2+1! Twin's probably hiding...

Hi to everyone else. I'm waiting on a day 3 sono and should start stims tonight. Takes forever.

 

[Serenjay]

Thanks Sunshine.. I really hope you get your bfp soon.. nice one on the new house.. xx

I am so nervous for my scan tonight..

 

[Sunshine14]

Hey Maxxi how u doing hun? Where are you at with IVF now hun? I just wanted to give you some hope - my friend who has a ds child was desperate for a healthy child and so she did IVF. At 41 she got 9 eggs, of which 8 got fertilised & 6 got to 5 day blasto stage - she had testing done and only got 1 grade a embryo! It was frozen and thawed out perfectly and she had it implanted and found out last mONday that she is pregnant!!!! The embryo is perfect & once it implanted the chance of a healthy pg are massively high. I just wanted to tell you to show u that even 1 embryo can do the job!

Seren how are you doing hun? How was the scan? Hope it went well xx I wanted to pick ur brains if u don't mind as I have been feeling recently that after all my mc's I am never going to get a healthy sticky bean. I know u have had quite a few miscarriages and were probably tempted to give up and just wondered how many u had & did u do anything different with this one ..... it just feels like it is never going to happen at the mo sigh ...... thanks hun xx

How is everyone else doing? Charlie big hugs to u hun xxxxx 2plus I hope that baby is growing well in there hun - when is ur next scan? Mgirl I hope ur ok sweetie xx

Afm - positive opk last sunday so I think i'm about 4dpo - fed up of the 2ww already!!

 

[Serenjay]

Sunshine the 2ww is a nightmare... Just try to keep as busy as possible...

I had 7 early losses some months one after another all before 5 weeks. all in 16 months. My last one was Dec 27th 2014.. yes just after christmas.. I had nookie Once 11 days after bleeding started.. I didnt want nookie again as I didnt want to get pregnant as I had some retained product and needed antibiotics and it hurt and I had enough losses... so because I stopped trying I was more relaxed and not thinking about it.

9dpo I had the familiar palpitations and blushed cheeks.. I done a test and got a faint line.. What the hell??? months I tried nookie twice a day..didnt get pregnant.. some months nookie every other day got pregnant.. nookie once in a month..PREGNANT but not only pregnant.. pregnant with a strong baby...

I have joined an October babies page and I think around 7 of us had only had nookie once and we are all pregnant.... a few not trying that month... maybe its being relaxed???

I can feel it in my bones that you will get a strong sticky bean soon...

My consultant wanted me to take 75mg Aspirin daily and 5mg folic acid.. as soon as I got a bfp.. so I have been doing that (taking folic acid for a few months) and this baby seems to be doing really well.. in a few hours I am 8 weeks... I had these scan photos taken 7+2 a private scan and heard HB

Good Luck xx

 

[Sunshine14]

Thanks Seren and congratulations on ur sticky healthy bean xx with my first child we dtd cd9 and not again then until cd 25 & I fell pg from that so I know what ur saying xx I think with me it's not a problem getting PG but it is just that sticky healthy bean & getting to see a hb. I feel like I've got to a point now where I'm starting to dread the bfp as it just feels like here we go again ...... it's fab that u have a sticky bean though hun I'm very happy for u after all ur losses & I bet u delighted that u didn't give up now happy & healthy 9 months to u babe xx

 

[Serenjay]

Have you tried Aspirin???? I really do think its a wonder drug for women suffering miscarriages... can you give it a try? 75mg.. baby aspirin they call it..

I just think the losses were bad eggs and you will get your strong egg... a few months before I got pregnant I was taking..CoQ10 I just thought of that.. I took it for 4 months.. they say egg quality gets better after 90 days? please try some of that but take it daily for min 3 months... maybe thats what got me my golden egg now that I work it out. x

Hi Seren thanks for thinking of me hun & trying to help xxxx when I found out I was pg with my last pregnancy (turned out to be ectopic) I happened to have an appt at the recurring mc clinic when I got the bfp and they prescribed me baby aspirin and also progesterone pessaries so I used those - god I was moody with the progesterone lol! I still have some of both left so I think if I get another bfp then I will start those again & ring the hospital to get some more. I was actually thinking I might try to get some of the natural progesterone online. I have been taking COQ10 on and off since my bfp last April - I have to say I was a bit disillusioned as I took it for 3 months & then got my bfp but it turned out to be a mmc which ended at 9 weeks. I started taking it again then last October and then got my bfp in November which was the ectopic - I have been back on it again since the ectopic mc in January taking 600g so will see how that goes I suppose - time will tell what is meant to be! It's great that u believe that I just need a strong egg, I know that is true but just don't really believe it is going to happen u know ....... anyway i suppose I just have to keep busy. I'm so happy that u got a hb hun that is the most difficult hurdle for me xxx

 

[Serenjay]

I bought the natural progesterone cream, 2 tubs..opened one and tried it on one pregnancy made me moody as hell.. I found out my progesterone levels were find so I never used it again.. I bought this one.. https://astronutrition.com/source-naturals-progesterone-cream-natural-2-oz.html?___landing=gbp999

 

[maxxiandniko]

So I went for my day 6 scan today. Not so great. There are 5 follicles with 1 at 11 mm and the rest under 10. My estrogen was good though. I'm to continue with my injections and add omnitrope tomorrow and will go in Monday for another scan.

 

[Serenjay]

Max I have seen people turn around when they thought all was not well.. fingers crossed all goes well on the next scan xx

 

[maxxiandniko]

So yes better scan this morning. I can't remember exactly but she says I have a crop. I have to go back on Wednesday for another scan and hopefully I'll have an idea of what's next. I should have been done Wednesday but I'm going to have to go a little longer.

 

[Serenjay]

Thats good news.. FX you get more good news..

I on the other hand am about to ring out of hours.. im so sick I cant even keep water down.. they told me I may need to be admitted if it gets worse.. I cant keep meds down.

Crap. I wish they had something that could take it away

 

[maxxiandniko]

Had another scan. A whole bunch of follicles but things are growing slowly. I have 2 at 16 and I heard the number 14 but not sure how many of those. Then I heard 10, 11, 13 but not sure how many and those won't count if they don't grow. Anyway. I'm waiting on my estrogen level and will probably stim for the next 2 nights and do another sono on Friday.

 

[2plus1more]

At work, but popping in really quick to say we're very excited for you Maaxi!!!! Hoping those smaller follies catch up and you get a great number. Have you told family and friends that you're doing IVF? Can't wait to hear the next update!

 

[Serenjay]

Just got out of hospital.. needed a few days on the drip with new nausea meds.. I hope you get good results next time xx

 

[maxxiandniko]

So I trigger tonight and go in for retrieval Sunday. My protocol says that I'll be doing a 5 day transfer but that doesn't make sense so I'll have to ask about that. If I even get that far.

Hi, I'm 42 next week and trying for my 5th, although first with my husband. I'm Worried about the age thing. I've never had a problem getting pregnant in the past, but I was younger then! I came off the pill in December but not ovulated since, so fingers crossed it comes back this month! Let's hope we all get our good news soon
