Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well and hope everyone has a good weekend another big week fort this thread next week can't wait to see those bfp coming through xx

 

[ashknowsbest]

Baby - I do like them. I do not get a long with one of my nurses but she seems to not call that much so I think she got the hint finally and makes other people call.

 

[Babiesimready]

Update ladies!
so 19 out of my 30 eggs were fertilized and 13 are of excellent to great qualities...I'm sooo excited about the numbers. I transferred 2 grade As today and they'll let me know how many are going to the freezer. I'm so thankful

 

[ashknowsbest]

babies - that's awesome! Congrats on so many great embies!!!! I hope you get your bfp though and don't need the rest!

Sandy and Babies - congrats on your transfers!

Baby - that is most definitely a positive! Start celebrating and planning that surprise for DH!! As someone who just had a scan, I can tell you that it still doesn't feel real. So embrace it now - its a wonderful thing to celebrate!!!!

Ash - the countdown is on. Hope the 3 days fly by.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Wannabee- It seriously doesn't feel real AT ALL... I've peed on about 10 sticks now of different types and they're all positive.. i don't know when I'll believe it! How are you feeling??

 

[L4hope]

Babiesimready what a great fert report! Congrats on being PUPO!

 

[WannabeeMum]

wannabeemum - oh I'm sure they will, it's the weekend The cramps are killing me but the day is almost over, thank god!

Hopefully this is the last time you have to deal with AF for a while. Hang in there...

 

[alicatt]

Sandy and Babies - you are PUPO, Sandy, sorry you didn't get to transfer 2, but you know, it only takes 1!!!

Baby - so happy to see your BFP, when/how are you going to tell DH?


AFM - I got my period a few hours ago, YAY! I don't think its strong enough so my official CD 1 will probably not be until tomorrow, but AF is definitely on the way.

QUESTION I have been taking provera 2x a day for the last 8 days, and I still have 2 more days of pills to take. Am I supposed to continue them or can I just skip them? Normally I would call my FS office, but I didn't get my period until about 5:30pm and by then they were closed So I don't know if I should continue them or not. I would prefer not as I think they have been contributing to my constant migraines. What do you all think?

So I did the math, and my FET should be around April 4th, which puts my due date at Dec 20th.

Thanks for your help!!

I feel the same way. I thought my ultrasound would do the trick but it still hasn't hit me. I keep looking at my scan picture to remind myself that it is for real. Maybe when we feel the first kick it will set in??

I'm doing ok. I've been very emotional and can go from happy to sad in a matter of minutes, but am blaming that on the hormones. Other than that, I had a few days of morning (actually mine came around dinner time) sickness and that's about it.

Enjoy the moment. Celebrate with you hubby. And be grateful that it's all happening....

Thank you! I'm surprised I saw the BFP so soon... the line on FRER was verrrrry faint from 6dp3dt on. My boobs have been sore- but that's probably the progesterone because it's been for over a week now. It's 8:45pm here and it's the second night that my sense of smell is so strong that it's making me queasy as I lay in bed. I didn't think that I could get symptoms so soon, but I guess everyone's body is different! I've had moments of emotional swings, like you, and I feel bloated like I haven't used the bathroom in a few days. When do you get your first ultrasound??

I guess we've been trying for so long that now that the reality of it set in- I know less about pregnancy than I thought!!! I even was going to go shopping today and then I realized that I don't want to waste money on clothes that aren't going to fit soon! Also- do you exercise or sex? My RE never told me if it's ok... I'm sure I'll hear at my next appt. xoxo

Thanks Alicatt! We have a busy day tomorrow- I'm getting my hair done, have a work consult and DH is going to a basketball game with his dad and sister so I decided to wait until Sunday to tell him... I'm going to send him on a mini scavenger hunt around the house.

First I have him opening this directional scrapbook which tells him to turn on iTunes to a playlist of a few songs (for instance, notorious big- big poppa (thought he'd laugh at this one), mariah carey- always be my baby, and our wedding songs- "Brooklyn Bridge" by Lee Dewyze and a few songs by my fav band- Blue October)...

from there, the next note says to take a bite out of the 'bun in the oven'- I bought cinnabons today!

The next note says 'go to the fridge and take out 'prego' sauce for dinner (i'm part sicilian- we don't use jarred sauce

Then he has to go to the bookshelf and find the new read (he just reorganized our bookshelves and will find 'What to expect when you're expecting' instantly!)

The next note says to go to the dryer and take out a the shirt and put it on (I had a shirt made today that says "She's eating for two...I'm drinking for three!" I saw that online and I had to steal!

The next note says go sit on the couch and look at the scrapbook I made with me... I made a scrapbook of our IVF journey.. injection schedules.. all appts... hospital bracelet from retrieval and transfer...picture of our embryo.. positive pregnancy tests glued to a page at the end....

I know this was long but I thought maybe someone wanted to steal some ideas or help add to mine!!

That sounds really cool! Although I'm sure he will figure things out pretty quickly since you did IVF, hasn't he been asking?

Be careful with getting your hair done, a lot of hair products are not good for pregnancy. If you were planning on getting your hair colored, then you definitely need to ask if it is safe for pregnancy. I have been told that Aveda (sp) has safe hair color.

Have a wonderful weekend!

I go to Aveda salon and they said their products were fine when I was pg. Congrats baby d!
Love your scavenger hunt!!

Ali glad af came!! I started provera the other day for the never ending af , thick lining and cyst but when I took it to induce period they said to stop if af came. Hopefully you can call dr tomorrow.

Thanks Mo! I don't think I will call.. I'm just going to stop taking it. I honestly don't think those additional 4 pills are going to do much. I have my period, and that was the goal. As far as I'm concerned, the sooner I get off these pills the happier I will be, the faster my body will get back to a normal cycle

I'm glad that someone else had been told that Aveda has pregnancy safe hair color. I'm 40 and oh so grey. So I couldn't go 9 months without color! EEK! I'm dirty blonde so the greys are kind of hidden, but even so, I have to get some color correction!

Good luck with getting your body back to normal, I read your post a few days ago while stalking, but at the time I didn't have any updates. I hope your body heals soon so you can get on with your next cycle.

 

[MoBaby]

Thanks. I'm hoping that by taking this provera, my cyst goes away and this thick lining goes away and re lets me continue with natural fet... I was looking at the calendar and af will come a few days after expected so it really shouldn't mess things up unless that cyst is still there or the lining doesn't go back to normal.. So I'm still hoping a little for march fet! I'd really like a baby by the end of this year

My boobs were instantly sore as well, and still are. I was, and still am, incredibly bloated. My FS said its because of the stimulation and the fact our ovaries expand so much and not to expect that to go away. So I literally look about 4 months pregnant. I too was shopping the other day and had to stop myself from purchasing - bought shoes instead and made my first maternity clothes purchase. My pants are no longer comfortable and I don't find the belly extenders to work well with a lot of my pants. I find myself sitting at my desk at work with my pants undone so I don't feel so uncomfortable. But this is what we've all been waiting for, so I'll take it.

I had my scan last Tuesday. At the appointment the FS asked us a bunch o questions that we hadn't even thought of or discussed. Felt very silly and figured we had better get reading. We realized we have no idea what goes on in pregnancy and better educate ourselves. Thank goodness we have another few months to prepare.

In terms of exercise, I've cut most out. I go to prenatal yoga and I walk and that's about it. Hard to do for a girl who is used to running Marathons but I just don't want to risk it.

I didn't ask about sex. I've heard both positive and negatives. Most negatives were for those who have m/c'd prior - they should hold off until after the first trimester. Otherwise I heard that the extra blood flow is good for the baby. We have engaged once, and then I freaked myself off. I think I'll now hold off until the end of the first trimester.

Love your idea of the scavenger hunt! How creative and what a moment it will be for hubby!! I just called mine into the bathroom and made him stare at the stick

Let me know how it all turns out. When is your OTD???
