Ali I didn't get scanned until day 5-6... And still then only a few every time were big enough to measure... Then by day 8/9 it was like follicle overgrowth and I'd have 20+ that were ripe..

Lucie been thinking about you.!

Thanks Mo and First! I am going to pull my heating pad out. Its been so hot down here I didn't want to use it (90 degrees yesterday), but I think it is necessary. I figured that it was still early for me to have much to see, and was surprised that they wanted me in so soon. But he was able to see 14 follicles!!! That makes me happy, because we all know that more appear as we move forward, so seeing 14 now probably means we'll get a good haul, I hope! Fingers crossed!

Update for me

So after the cerclage and hospital stay over this last week I saw the doctors today and did some REALLLY long scans lol. The good news is the cerclage looks "perfect" according to the doctors. The babies are back up high where they should be and my cervix is completely closed and over 3CM now which is what they need to sustain a twin pregnancy. The only good thing about this whole high risk pregnancy is getting weekly pics. Todays turned out ok but they only did a 2D next week they will do another 3D they said. The girls are measuring at 17W5D which is awesome that they are a little ahead of schedule. I hope they stay that way since the doctors think they might have to take the cerclage out around week 34 and they would come right after that.

Heres my girls.. Nameless right now as hubby is so indecisive on names lol

Oh forgot to mention... I get to return to my daily activities and work for now but will be checked for issues. It's full bedrest at first sign of anything going wrong. I also have to start progesterone injections again just to be safe.

Brandy - great photos! Glad the cerclage is holding well, and you are cleared to go back to work! Just take it easy and don't do anything too strenuous! I'm sure they've told you no heavy lifting etc, right?

I bet you are so relieved, that things are looking good.

Have you decided on names? Or do you have a short list?

 

[Lucie73821]

Well I continued to bleed pretty heavily all day yesterday and today. Just talked to the Re's office and my beta came back at 14. Obviously really low. So I have to keep on the progesterone for two more days and get tested again Wednesday.

I know that this is not going to end well. I just wish it would have been a bfn.

I put the husband in charge of names I named the oldest 2. Dunno what I was thinking since he is very indecisive! He really over thinks it. I think he has it down to about 10 lol. I only get involved if there is a name on the list I absolutely cant stand. I will nickname them anyway lol I never call the other 2 children by their names

Yes, I do corporate accounting lol so unless a pen is heaving lifting or moving a mouse I think I am set My husband wont let me so much as touch a dust cloth at home so I dont have to worry there.

We are on that the girls are doing good


Cant wait to hear your next report and how exciting you get to do ER on Halloween. Make sure you turn off your porch light I am sure you wont want to pass out candy that day haha.

I'm sorry you have to deal with being in limbo Lucie.

Brandy glad to hear the cerclage is doing its job! I had my little guy unexpectedly at 33w6d so know what it's like to have them early. Thank goodness for all of the advances in medicine. It's still scary, but they do so much for these little ones now. Hopefully you won't need bedrest. Good thing your hubby is taking over at home. Now he just needs to decide on names! How old are your other two kiddos? If old enough hopefully they're helping out too.

21 and 18. Neither one live near me so no help there My daughter 21 is pregnant with our first grandchild too!! She is 8 weeks behind me Our son is off at college Boo!

Yes, I am braced for a 32-34 week delivery but the longer I can keep them there I will. I know some start wanting to evict them from discomfort with twins but my goal is to suck it up even if it means me being very uncomfortable Unless it's life threatening to me or the babies I will do whatever it takes.

Lucie soo sorry!

I know.. our neighborhood has an online website where you can opt in/out for trick or treating, and I opted out. I hope that people don't ring my bell anyway. I keep thinking that this time next year I might have a little tiny bundle of joy to dress up as a pumpkin!

You are too funny with respect to the names, I've been obsessing about names for a year now But you are right, I have 2 dogs and I never call them by their real names!

Glad you aren't lifting a finger at work or home!

Oh Lucie, I'm so sorry to hear this.

 

[alicatt]

Oh Lucie, I'm not sure what to say? That is a low beta, but its still above the threshold of 5 which they use to say you are pregnant or not. Maybe you had a late implanter? I'm hoping and praying that is what is going on!

I really hope so too. When the lady from the doctors office called, she told me my number, said I'd need to have another beta Wed, and that I'd need to continue the progesterone. When I told her that I was bleeding, she said she would check with the NP and ask if I could just stop the progesterone. The NP said I had to continue the progesterone. I guess that means there may be some small chance that this could turn out positively?

 

[Turkey16]

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope that's the case Lucie!!! Praying and sending love and hugs your way!!

 

[Mells54]

Lucie, I'm hoping for the best for you. Being limbo always stinks!

Ali, I used a heating pad too!

Brandy, congrats on the grand baby! We are avoiding names that have nicknames that we don't like. Of course, they will probably end up with nicknames unrelated too. It took us a month to name our dog!!!!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Lucie- I think your still in the game. Your re wouldn't have wanted another beta if they didn't think it was a good sign . I'm sending positive vibes

Morning Ladies

Sorry i haven't been on for a while been at at friends wedding where i didn't get good signal at all!

Lucie, Sorry to hear you are in limbo with the results I think that is often worse than getting the bfn as once again its a waiting game. I agree that there is still a chance but thinking about you and hope tomorrow's results are better

Brandy, great pics glad the babies are doing fine and I'm sure you will be crossing those legs to keep those babies in as long as possible.

L4, How's the little one doing? do you have any photo's

All you pregnant ladies good luck with the name picking as sounds like you all have some thinking to do. Lets us know what the final decision is

Ali, Hope your doing well on the stimms, and I'm sure your follies will be growing nicely. My fs always has me on stimms for 12 days even tho i'm a good responder to the meds she just likes to get as many as possible above 16mm to get those mature eggs. Look forward to hearing how your next scan goes

Sekky & Ever, How you doing?

AFM, Countdown to WTF appt only 2 days and hopefully sort out dates to continue with next treatment in the new year xx
