You're next

 

[L4hope]

Congrats Blue...is it sinking in yet? Are you nervous about having twins?

 

[Blue12]

I am pretty nervous because it makes things pretty different. It takes us from one child to three children and I think dd may still benefit from a stroller so that removes the option of getting a double stroller. Also I worry about bf two babies and the amount of time to bond and sleep. I'm getting way ahead of myself lol

On the otherhand I'm feeling so lucky to even be pregnant so it's a mess of emotions.

Oh no to worry, you will cross the bridge when you get there. I know a lot of twin mamas coping well

Blue...yeah for twins! Don't worry I'm just as freaked about going from none to two! At least you've had some practice!!!!

Sekky, good luck this cycle.

Turkey, I did Ganarelix and I liked it bc no mixing. The syringes were pre-filled.

And you take it far fewer days than Lupron. You won't start it until you are already stimming a little bit!

I guess I'll have to call for specifics. I think last time I started Lupron for one day, then added 4 amps of menopur and 300 gonal-f. This time there's no Lupron and I add ganirelix, and only 2 amps of menopur and 450 of gonal-f. Hmmmm...

Blue - congrats!! Wow it really is twin central on this thread!! I've seen some double strollers with those standing platforms on the end for an older child. I think they're called sit and stand? Maybe that will work for DD since she'll be a little older by the time your twins are here.

Turkey - that shot stung a little more for me so I would inject slowly and it didn't hurt as much.

I did the ganirelix my first IVF cycle.. be careful of the prefilled syringes, the needles weren't really sharp, and I had to literally stab myself with them. Maybe I was doing something wrong? Anyway, make sure you turn the pointy part the right way so you don't have to stab yourself like I did.

AFM - NO AF.. Mo pointed out that it could take 2 months, and I'm almost 7 weeks now. I keep meaning to try a OPK to see what it says. I think perhaps I didn't ovulate when I should have, but might be now? I don't really know. I haven't had AF since March I think! LOL!

 

[Sandy83]

Congratulations blue, thats great news

Ali, hope af shows next week

Turkey & sekky, any idea when retrieval or transfer will be?

AFM, only 13 days til stims hope the time passes quickly! Xx

haha I know it's hard to keep track of which thread is which sometimes!


Just fyi I asked the doctor what the game plan is for me. I was told they wont put me in the high risk just yet But the good news is that they will be doing ultrasounds ALOT. I already have the next 2 scheduled... one in 3 weeks and one in 5 weeks.

 

[Anxiously]

Wow congrats blue! How many twin mamas does this thread have now? 4? I'm losing count!

Brandy, yay for the healthy hbs!

Turkey, ganirelix definitely stung more than gonal-f for me. I prefer to stick it in quickly though (but don't just jab it in) as it stings more when I did it slowly. I tried to divert the sting by grabbing a lump of tummy fat with a firm pinch, and then inject into the middle of it. But it's great that its prefilled, I have to mix my hcg shots myself now and its always such a mess!

Hi Mo how have u been? When's next scan?

Hey Sandy, Sep is not far away now! Sekky, this will be the cycle for everyone!

Hi to everyone else!
