ITs times like this im glad i dont drink lol. Mind you...I think when i conceived this little one I was totally off my trolly as it was our anniverary and got pretty wasted lol.

How are you ladies today?

Im ok, cramps have gone and today im starting to feel a bit Off to the docs in 10 mins for another beta draw. Results tomorrow, scan on friday!

x

I'm going ok today but, while still eating healthily, I'm craving sugar so have had a load of those sherbet lollipops. Total rubbish and very disappointed in myself! Hey ho.

Finally got some sleep last night as restricting my water intake after 7pm so avoided the 4am trip to the loo and then inability to get back to sleep. Result.

Very exciting about your scan, wish mine was Friday too. Waiting sucks.

I wish I could take you with me and get them to do two for the price of one

How much longer do you have to wait?

Dont be hard on yourself. Your body is now going to crave a lot of things so...what baby wants he/she is gunna get!!

Yeah, that's what my DH just said and at least it's getting all the protein and fruit/veggies each day too so maybe I should relax a bit. Can't believe the embie made me eat a Cadbury's Caramel yesterday (!).

You are SOOOO lucky with the peeing! It's really weird as I normally have a huge capacity in my bladder - right now all I want to do is pee (and eat, natch).

Not that long to wait for my scan, it's this Tuesday. IVF apparently puts you at a bit of a higher risk of ectopic so I'm really anxious just to get it out of the way and hear that everything is fine (plus I'm 36 too so nominal concern about me being a bit older).

I guess all the pressure of that now expanding uterus is really squishing your bladder! I probably dont drink as much as I should so...perhaps thats why!

Ohhh I didnt know that about IVF increasing risk of ectopics. Why is that? I would have thought since they were putting them inside that your tubes would be safe from that...shows how much I know!! I see that you got your bfp on your first cycle too! This must be such an amazing feeling

I think its worrying when youre scared about ectopics. One thing I will say though is that when I had mine, I knew something major was up. I bled from a week before af was due and in the end bled for three months whilst I was still undergoing the treatment. I read and was also told by my doc that most of the time ectopics come with quite a lot of constent vaginal bleeding so...I think we are both safe from that!

Aww bugger...ill be away on holiday when you have your scan!! Im a sad panda now since I cant get internet on my phone xx

I'm sinking about 2 litres a day at the moment so you may be right. Right after my IVF I had to drink 2.5-3 litres of water a day (to avoid ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome) and that was a lot to get through in a day! Do think that the more you drink the thirstier you get. I'm going to try to leave it again after 7pm tonight. Could be the IVF drugs making me drink more too. Who knows. Will be happy to see the back of them at the end of the first trimester.

My mum was surprised about it increasing the risk too. Looked into it and it can apparently be from the embryo transfer and the specialist pushing the embie/fluid in too quickly or if they're placed too high in the womb cavity. Anyway... I have a pretty cool first photo of my baby already, as a 5 day old blastocycst before he/she was transfered back in. Go number 12! (so cute, they were all numbered and have their own photos) Yeah, I'm made up it has worked so far and really hope that it sticks and is healthy. Long path to get it in there.

Thanks so much for your kind words on the ectopic. It must have been a nightmare for you.... Will try to take some comfort from it but at the moment I'm having a hard time letting it go. Enough with the moaning!

Hope you're off somewhere lovely on your jollies. You'll have to find a PC in your hotel to log on

I know first hand how hard it is to get these thoughts out of your head chick And thats why I say if you need to let it out, im always here (and there is always PM!). But everything will be fine youll see

I reckon water does do that. If I drink water with juice its not too bad but I find plain water really makes me feel dehydrated. Thats a bloody lot of water youve had to drink chick!! Bloody hell!!

Is it progesterone they have you on now hun?

Oh how cute that you already have a picture of your little one!! Can we see? xx

 

[sarahuk]

Sure charmed Ill PM u ladies my number so u can sms me with updates etc if you want too! x

Thanks so much, that's really kind of you

Right now I'm still on 1400mg of progesterone (taken across 3x per day), highest dose of estrogen HRT patches and baby aspirin every day.

Yep will upload a photo of our blast tomorrow as don't think I can do it straight from my iPhone. x

 

[charmed]

hiya how are we all today, im still having a few cramps on off and sure i felt bit sick this morning and last night! hoping cramps stay light and not to much of a issue, i sooo wish i could just see baba is in right place before i get on that plane, im really worried incase is in wrong place and get very ill whilst im in egypt. xx

Bet you cant wait to stop them all Still...we gotta do what we gotta do to get to that rainbow I suppose. Sounds like youve gone through it to get to this baby so I bet you dont mind the meds!! Makes me so excited to be taking this journey with you hun

Yay for piccies! How wonderful is that, that they take piccies of them!! x

 

[sarahuk]

Im sure its in the right place Charmed. i reckon you would have had more symptoms by now. Plus remember that theres 99% higher chance that its in the -right- place than anywhere else!

Im feeling ok thanks hun. Nervous about the beta results later and really starting to get scared about tomorrow. I would be completely devestated if I had another ectopic x

Hiya aw hunnie you will be fine, im so so sure it will be, thanks yet again for the support, and yes i know its so irrational to think 1% will be more than the 99% hehe.

aww cant wait to hear the beta results, have you done your digi yet hun, im bit scared to use my last one, incase drops down and i hear the further on you go the more ramdon the results may be. what do u think should i do it for the sake before i go sat or should i just forget got it and hide it!! lol

ill keep an eye for your results. xxxx

 

[julesjules100]

As promised, our first baby picture (!).


The chunkier bit at the top of the blastocyst are the foetal cells that go on to make the baby. The cells all the way round the outer edge are trophoblast cells that go on to make the placenta etc. You may be able to see a really thin haze around the edge of the blastocyst and when they choose the best ones, they're looking for this to be thin so hatching is easier. So this photo was taken at Day 5 (the day it went back into me) and on Day 6 it would have hatched out and implanted. Pretty amazing.

Its not irrational girly You want this to be fine so badly that these things are bound to go through your mind!

I havent done another digi The reason being I did a 1-2 early on and then redid my second one and still got 1-2. I totally freaked out lol. I also read that the results on cb digis are a bit hit and miss. If I had one..id probably have done it though this morning to try and calm my nerves about my beta numbers this afternoon lol. So im not much help!!

Ooo don't be or you're going to make me cry too!

The first day after the transfer I literally couldn't stop looking at it. So weird to think that that has hatched out and buried down into the lining... Keep going little bean!
