Any SMEPers!!!! 43 Testers! 22 BFP!!!!

I'm so so sorry May!!! But I think you're making a wise decision. Do you know anything about urologists and helping with sperm quality? I wouldn't count you out for this year though! :winkwink: We're here for you hun!!! xoxox
 
Tasha - We are just now looking into finding a urologists. We were hoping all the supplements my DH is on would help, instead, his results are worst. So I don't know what's going on. We are both so frustrated. A part of me just wants to do the IUI. Even though the chances are slim, at least the sperm is placed closer to the egg and I don't have to worry about them not making it there. Problem is the morphology is so poor this time that even if the sperm gets to the egg, it might not be able to penetrate. I don't know if I want to chance it. Plus I really wanted to have a best shot with IUI so that perhaps I would not have to do IVF.

On another note, I am happy to hear you are getting all along well with your pregnancy. How time flies! Hoping your bean will stay put until your DH comes back!! Good luck!
 
Tasha-fx your little one stays put until your Fh gets back!!! Stay in that Ned and take it easy!!

May-definitely don't think youre out for this year, there's still 4 more months left! I think speaking with a urologist is a good idea. I know of a girl who's dh is on hcg injections twice a week to hopefully increase speem count. On another note, doctors aren't always right, so take their advice but do what you want to do! You just never know! I agree with what brandy said about Icsi though, it works well from what I've heard. Keep us posted!! Hugs!
 
I just got back to work from my ultrasound and there is TWINS! They are both measuring the exact same size. We were able to see the sac and the yoke with the fetal poles making a tiny appearance. We thought we saw the heartbeats but she didn’t want to say 100%

But all looks well!! We go back in a week :)
 
Brandy-Congrats! Very exciting!!!

Hope everyone else is good!

I'm going in for another scan tomorrow. Hoping all goes well!!
 
Hi ladies!

Snowflakes-thank you! Been a rough day...didn't want to bring the bad news on the board.

Brandy-baby a didn't make it, heart stopped beating, must've been a chromosomal issue. Baby b is doing great though, so it was a bitter sweet day! Hope my news doesn't worry you.. Didn't want to say anything in fear that it would, but thanks for asking. When is your next scan? The 13th or do you have one sooner? I'm sure your babies will be fine!

I came straight home after the doctors appointment. Been lounging around all day, trying to mourn so I can be in as good of shape as soon as possible. It will be hard though moving forward with only one as we had 2, saw 2, heard their heartbeats and such. I know you ladies understand. So thankful that we will most likely end up with one baby though!

Hope everyone else is well!!

:hugs: It is a fear of mine but what will be will be. I would rather you share what you wish to share to feel better.

I am soo very sorry for the loss. You're right it is bitter sweet and in the end you will have a very precious baby.
 
Thanks brandy, means a lot. I just remember how I felt reading other people's horror stories early on, so didn't want to contribute to anyone's fear. But I appreciate your kind words!
 
Stacer, I'm so so sorry for Baby A! :hugs: So glad Baby B is doing well though!!!! I hope you're doing okay!!
 
Brandy: Oh u have twins there. Congrats :)
Btw do u mind telling your pre bfp symptoms ? And when u DTD to get that bfp ?

I had to move on to ivf. To date and before bfp I have had no symptoms at all. I just know they were there and all ok on Monday at my last scan.
 
Stacer - I am so sorry about baby A. Glad baby B is nice and snug. We are here for you, as you are here for us. Feel better and be so grateful you at least have one in there.
 
Hey girls!! Miss hearing from you!!

May: Hun, how are you?!?! Any conclusive decisions made?? Thinking of you!! :flower:

Sunny: Also thinking of you! How are things with you??

Stacer: I hope you're doing okay and that you have the support you need! Hugs! :hugs:

Brandy: Any updates? :flower:

AFM: DH is still gone for another 2 weeks, unfortunately I found out on Thursday that this baby is breech! I have a manual inversion appointment scheduled for this coming Wednesday. Chances are slim, but the procedure can induce labour and my dr said they won't stop/prevent it if it does happen which would mean DH would miss the birth. Also, I have a final exam scheduled for 2 days later (the Friday) AND my twin sister's wedding is on the Saturday (3 days later), so I'm praying that I won't be induced! I'm really doing okay though, I'm not stressing very much as this is completely out of my control. I figure the worse case scenario (that I do go into labour or something happens--apparently the procedure has its risks--and they have to perform an emergency C-section...and I miss my final exam and my sister's wedding) still ends happily no matter what, I just need to be brave and believe I can do this on my own. :thumbup:

Oh my that is so much for you to take in on your own!! I hope it all works out and you wont go into labor from the procedure.


Same ole here right now.. I have 0 symptoms but I know the babies are there and healthy since I saw them last Monday:happydance: I have another scan on Tuesday so I cant wait to see how much they have already grown!
 
Tasha, have you looked into moxibustion? Or look at the Spinning Babies website. Some people swear by reflexology as well. And you always have the option of a breech vaginal delivery. Best wishes whatever you decide. xx
 
Tasha, really hoping your baby waits to make an appearance. Even though I know you can do this on your own, I just hope you don't have to!! Please let us know what happens! We will be anxiously awaiting your results!!

Afm-I'm ok, doing a little better. I think I'm still in a bit of denial that I'm even pregnant still just because I feel great. Other than being tired and a couple other things, no really complaints. I think my uterus is pushing my tummy out because even though I'm not showing, my belly looks bigger. Of course I'm acting like I'm pregnant by taking the necessary precautions, I just don't feel like I am. I go back to work tomorrow, but having time off to reflect and take for myself was nice.
