Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

[Lucie73821]

Lucie- are you hoping for twins? I put back 3 and got twins

While I'd be thrilled with twins, after 4 years TTC, and what we went through back in January, we are both praying for a healthy take home baby. Twins would be an added miracle.

I know I'm only 1dp5dt, but I'm already having to stop myself from symptom spotting! I need to relax and hope the next week goes by quickly!

 

[alicatt]

Great news Lucie! I hope that at least 2 take.. you are a brave woman!
if you test, I'd wait until at least 4-5dp5dt!

Well after the specialists checked my cervix they decided I needed a cerclage or I would lose the babies very soon to preterm labor my surgery is this afternoon. I was admitted to labor and delivery last night hopefully I'm only here 3 days.

 

[Sandy83]

Oh my god brandy that's scary. Sorry i really don't understand the whole issue that you are going through but my thoughts are with you xx

 

[MoBaby]

Brandy!! How scary any symptoms? What happened?? Let us know when you are recovered and that everything went okay. I'm worried as well b/c I'm at risk for preterm labor but my ob said cerclage isn't necessary which confuses me... I'm going to discuss it again at my appointment.
Lucie how are you doing??
Hey sandy

Hey sandy

I didn't really have symptoms. Luckily my doc investigates anything I complain about. I was whining about having to pee constantly from the pressure of the babies.. so he did a scan and found that my cervix was starting to funnel at the top (open) and that my cervix had shortened. They sent me to the peri doc the next morning to double check and they found the same thing after 2 hours of scans. Next I knew he had sent me here to the hospital for the procedure. I am only suppose to be here 3 days total.

They haven't said if it will be followed with bed rest as well or not. We shall see.


The doctor told me if my cervix was over 3 they wouldn't worry but it was 2.3 in the scan so here we are and I am scared to death.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Brandy- I have heard lots of good things with the procedure your going to have. And my guess is you will be on modified bed rest for awhile. Keep us posted

 

[MoBaby]

Wow how scary! I've been having pressure... My appt isn't for 2 weeks.. Makes me want to call now. So glad they caught it before anything bad. Will you be on bed rest?

 

[L4hope]

Brandy so glad your doc was thorough and found this out ahead of time. A friend of mine went into preterm labor with her son at 26 weeks. Thankfully he's now a happy 2 year old. But when she got pregnant again, they did a cerclage and she carried her daughter to term. I'm sure you are very scared and understandably. But sounds like you are in good hands.

 

[Em260]

Brandy - oh wow so glad they caught it and you're in the right place to get help. I would be scared to death too but just know cerclages have a lot of success. I hope you can go home soon!

 

[FirstTry]

Brandy: so glad that you and the dr spotted this before it got worse. Good luck with the procedure and wishing for a h&h remainder of your pregnancy.

 

[Mells54]

Brandy, hoping the best for you. It is all so scary sometimes.

 

[Turkey16]

Oh my goodness Brandy!! I was NOT expecting to hear this!! Thank goodness they caught it in time, but still HOW SCARY!! Hope you are feeling ok!!!

 

[~Brandy~]

Thanks everyone. I hope everyone is well.

I had the procedure today and the doctor said he is happy with the outcome from the length he was able to achieve. I get released from the hospital tomorrow. I am on bed rest until Monday and then I am on part time bed rest... Since I have a desk job with no filing or reasons that require me to get up... I am allowed to go to work and home to bed. No cooking or cleaning etc. Only up for work and eating. Going to be a long 20 weeks! Whatever gets me these girls healthy

I really appreciate you all listening to me and your well wishes.

 

[alicatt]

Brandy .. WOW! I'm so glad that things appear to have turned out! Scary, but hopefully the procedure will continue to be a success

 

[alicatt]

AFM..
not much new yet.. starting stims on Friday, plus intralipids in Friday too. I'm picking my sperm donor tomorrow.

Lucie.. any symptoms?

Hope all our pregnant ladies are doing well! Any pictures of your US's you care to share? I find it amazing how many twins are on this board!

 

[Turkey16]

Here's my latest Ali!! I hit the 8 week mark and doc said 97% go on to deliver successfully from here...feeling a little more confident. Babes looked great on Tuesday!! Glad you are getting started!! WOOOOT!

 

[MoBaby]

Hey brandy! Glad all went well. It's great you can work still! I'm on my feet all day so u would have to go out.

Ali: stims soon! Not too much longer until pupo!!

Turkey: yay for twins doing well!!

Afm: nothing to report. My belly is growing and I look like I ate too much Chinese foo. Wt gain is minimal although hard to judge so it's somewhere between 1-4 lbs since I have a daily fluctuation in my weight by 2-3 pounds. Having been feeling better since 14.5 weeks but yesterday wasn't great and this am I'm a little blah. I have my appt on the 29th for anatomy scan and I start my bi-weekly cervical length checks. Praying I don't need a cerclage b/c then is have to take leave from work since I am on feet all day. I won't be announcing the gender; we are team yellow!!!!
