[sekky]

Thanks Mells, Em and Sandy. Really looking forward to tomorrow. My visible vein is tired of getting pricked hope tomorrow is my last E2.

Hey blue how are you doing?

Sweetness and brandy Hi!

Ali how are you too?

 

[~Brandy~]

Sekky- Sounds like it wont be long now! FX that you get to trigger Monday


Turkey- How in the world are you holding out on testing. I could never do it haha. Your symptoms sound great.


AFM- I am just hanging in there waiting for the days to slowly pass as always lol. I took my harmony test 5 days ago but thats 5 real days ... I think they said 8-10 BUSINESS days. I have another ultrasound and OB appt on the 19th so I cant wait to see the little guys.

 

[MoBaby]

Sekky yay for triggering!!

I have my first regular OB appt tomorrow! I'm excited but nervous. Idk what is going to happen. I'm afraid of the Doppler.. I wonder if they will try that. So big day! Oh and we are doing the pg reveal later tonight on FB after we announce it to some close friends Excited!

 

[Blue12]

Sekky you are so close now!!!!! Wahoo!

I have an ultrasound booked for next week. Will be 12 weeks. And then will be telling my boss - then announcing (dot want my boss to hear through friends at work lol).

Not sure whether to have ultrasound and then announce or wait for ultrasound results and ips blood results. Other than feeling so sick so sick and sore breasts, I don't feel pregnant lol. It's so hard to believe still.

Mo: my first OB appt was anticlimactic. They told me they weren't planning on doing an u/s until 20 weeks and the Doppler found nothing. I then insisited on, and got, an u/s that day. The OB couldn't hear baby on the Doppler until 16 weeks.

They aren't used to people who've experienced the difficulties and losses we have, so they don't expect you to be so worried. Oh, and it took a while to try explain why the nurse couldn't use last mensrual period to calculate the due date from my FET! I finally just took transfer date and subtracted 19 days for her.

Anyway, the good news is tht as the weeks pass, you will feel more and more at ease. Good luck!

 

[MoBaby]

what a dumb nurse! good thing with me is they can use my LMP because I did a natural FET and since I have normal 28 day cycles the timing works both ways.

This I guess is my first actual appt with my OB... I did a meet and greet with him after I was released from my FS but no testing or exams. He has me down on the 19th for an ultrasound for the first 1.5 hours then 30 minutes with him.

I have been to so many doctors that each one does an ultrasound haha. At this point I dont know if they tell each other what the last one found/saw.

 

[Blue12]

Wow you ladies all have such long appointments. With my dd I was in and out of appts in 5-10mins. Did my blood pressure, measurements, listened to heart, pee test for proteins, took my weight, asked if I had any concerns otherwise see you next time lol.

 

[Turkey16]

Hey Girls...I booked myself solid this weekend so I'd be distracted, but it's keeping me from getting a look at what's happening with you all!!!

Sandy-how are you feeling?? Did you end up getting any post-transfer accupuncture? I had to have my session about 24 hours afterward, but I figured it couldn't hurt. The whole "hatching blast" thing is pretty exciting...how long til your OTD?? I couldn't believe mine would arrive so quickly, but I guess all the waiting for the blast status cuts the OTD wait down a bit. Will you test early??

Sekky-good luck tomorrow!!!! Hoping that you are able to trigger tomorrow night!!!

Ali-how are you feeling??

Lotus & Ash-great to hear from you!!

MoBaby-good luck with your OB appt. I'm sure it will be great. How are you doing your FB reveal?? My friend just posted a pic of her two dogs with "What to Expect When You're Expecting" propped up between them, and it said something like "blue & jack are prepping for their baby brother's arrival". It was super cute.

Brandy-with all these ultrasounds you seem to be getting, did you ever post a pic?? Sorry if I missed it, but I'd love to see what these babes look like!! Why do you have to wait so long for these test results?? I had DD about 4 years ago, and my memory isn't great, but I don't remember the harmony scan (or any scan that's results took so long!!) What's it all about??

Blue-12 weeks!!! Wow! That's super exciting? Are you showing?? Have you guys told your daughter?? I'd probably wait for this last round of results and then tell your boss...unless you're very close with him or her (or showing!!!)

Mells-good luck at your appointment! How are you feeling these days? The back pain is no fun I bet!! Other than that, how's everything feeling??

Anxiously, Em, Sweetness, FirstTry, L4hope-hope you gorgeous ladies are feeling terrific!!

Edamame, Everhopeful, ttcbaby, Lucie, babyD-haven't heard from you lately, but if you're lurking at all, I hope you're doing well!! Miss ya!

AFM-24 hours til I'll know what's up!! Feeling optimistic and hopeful, but the fact that I have a frosty this time around has given me a lot of comfort. Back is still hurting (not as bad...I'm trying to rest) and the pulling and tugging is still going on. Lots of cramps too...as for testing early, I'm definitely tempted, but then all the "what is my beta" terror could possibly start early and god forbid it's negative, I'll be wondering if the test was a bum one etc...just can't handle it. Took a half day tomorrow and I'll get the official call in the safety of my own bedroom!! Wish me luck!!!

 

[sekky]

All the best tomorrow turkey.

 

[~Brandy~]

Blue- Yes my appts are always LONG! I went to one on 9/10 with a genetics counselor and between dr. appt, bloodwork, ultrasound etc.. I was there 3.75 hours. It was awful since I had to hold my pee for about 1.5 of it LOL


Turkey- Cant wait to hear I am so excited for you!! I dont think I have ever posted ultrasound pics I will have to take the time to do that. When they did my scan on the 10th checking the nuchal I was given those results immediately the babies didn't show signs of a thickened neck or spinal area they were both .6 which is far less than the max they are looking for 3.5... so that is good. The harmony test is just the blood test for the chromosone abnormalities and its sent to a lab out of state so that is the wait time.


They said they were 75% sure that one was a boy and one was a girl thats what the genetic counselor said while viewing the ultrasounds in 3d... But we will see.

 

[Mells54]

Blue, they said my appts are so long because there is two of them.

Brandy, yes my periantologist sends are results directly to my OB. This way they don't repeat anything the other does.

Turkey, I feel pretty good. I think I need to have my thyroid checked again since I'm having some of my typical symptoms when my meds need to be adjusted. I'm starting to get a little pooch so I don't think it will be too long before I'm in maternity pants. Oh my!

 

[Sandy83]

Turkey fx'd for tomorrow. I'm definitely with you on the not testing early I would just rather have the official results. My OTD is a week tomorrow so not too long to wait and I'm the same as you have a really busy weekend next week to keep me busy. Unfortunately we didn't get any frosties so hoping this one is a sticky one! Definitely gives me hope that it was hatching before implantation. Xx

Once the pooch arrives thats all she wrote!

I thought mine was just bloat a couple weeks ago but they confirmed that since I have previous children the body changes a little quicker and twins also helped with that.. I finally gave in and started wearing maternity jeans this weekend that I got at Macys.. Not sure if I will wear them to work though. I have been living in summer dresses and such at work since they are loose.

 

[MoBaby]

Hatching is a great sign sandy!

I dont know how you guys can hold off! You all saw how crazy I am!
Fx for you tomorrow turkey! And you too sandy! Just 7 more days!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Sandy-hatching is a grrrrrrreat sign!

Seky- good thing for last lab draw! My poor veins got stuck all the time.

Turkey-good luck tomorrow, I know it will be great news!

 

[Sandy83]

Turkey, thinking of you this morning!!!

 

[FirstTry]

Fingers crossed, Turkey!

 

[Anxiously]

Hey Turkey, I didn't realize that time has passed so quickly. It seems like just a few days ago that you had your transfer! All the best for a !
