anyone over 35 going for fertility treatments this year? IUI, IVF etc

On the other hand it is really special having twins it was just a HUGE awakening for me going from none to two babies.

www.betabase.info tells me my numbers are perfect for a SINGLE pregnancy

I would suggest having one baby at a time! It is a lot easier to stay mobile with just one and your husband has to help less which is great. My husband did not like the infant stage. I want to try out just having one to see what that is like. Is this your first?

yes! I used to think I wanted twins but when I really thought about it the thought of carrying 2 babies worried me. Also I spent time with my best friend and her 18 month old and I was thinking how would I do this x2!! I know most people on here would love twins, I just thought well I have a choice so lets try one at a time!

There were many times when I was struggling with one child and I thought, "What the hell would I do with 2 babies/toddler!" How do you cope with 2 babies with colic at the same time? Or two toddlers trying to run away from you in a crowded public place? I'm sure they would go in opposite directions.

Today, both my sense of logic and memory are in poor shape because I am currently thinking, "Well, I did want two more........."

oh I almost changed it to 2 the night before the transfer!! one minute I was all calm thinking Im ok if it takes months to get pregnant as we are transfering 1 and the next minute Id be crazy thinking I want the best chance so put in 2!! I guess its natural to change our mind all the time, this TTC thing is crazy

Sarah I think you'd cope well with one or two babies I know its harder with two babies, but we always find ways of coping and we do what we need too

oh for sure! and I know lots of people on here would love twins or are having twins so I dont ever want to seem negative about it. I just felt if I could control it why not try and just have 1 at a time. The thought of carrying 2 healthily would terrify me. then again carrying 1 is terrifying me

 

[crystal443]

I know, I'm still going back and forth on 1 or 2 put back The FS put that we'd have 2 put back on my chart but we'll see as it gets closer still early days I just think you're one of those ladies that would cope well with 2. I didn't take your posts as being negative at all I would def fret if I had two babies in my belly and I knew I had to get them to 9 months Scary stuff for sure, but there are a lot of twin pregnancies on here at the moment Twin fever

 

[sarahincanada]

yes my FS had automatically written 2. When I said I wanted 1 she said wow thats so unusual and that it was usually she who was the conservative one and trying to talk people into transferring less (bet she has people begging for 3 or 4). I was worried that they did the 2 automatically as they wanted to keep their stats up (as they are not the people caring for the 2 babies during pregnancy and beyond so why do they care, their job is to get us pregnant) but luckily they were fine with 1.
I cant wait for you to be in the thick of it!! less than 1 week till your scan and then I will be less that 2 weeks to my ultrasound

 

[crystal443]

I know hey? DH came home from work last night and he works with one of our friends, anyway she had poor response only worse then mine, first cycle she had 3 follies and they upped her Puregon to 450 and she got 0 follies We were at a party for the Principal last Friday night but didn't get to really chat with her so she sent a message home with DH to tell me on her new protocol with gonal F and Luveris she got 12 eggs so I am honestly very hopeful this time.

I cannot wait for your ultrasound, after that you can relax and really enjoy everything. Will you be finding out gender at some point? So exciting Sarah especially when its your first one, everything is so special the first time

 

[sarahincanada]

thata great her response improved! really hoping the same for you.

my hubby really doesnt want to know, so we wont find out. I could go either way....I would love the surprise at the end and it makes the birth part a bit more exciting, but I would also love to know and feel I may bond with the bub a bit more if I could picture a boy or girl in there. Hubby said I could find out and not tell him, but I wouldnt want him just having the surprise. would you find out?

its all so surreal a I sit here even talking about it. then I snap back to my cautious realistic self saying wait for the scan before thinking about anything!! and we will be asking you the same questions very soon

 

[crystal443]

We found out with both before but I'm not sure we would find out this time I found with DS and knew the day the Csection would be and it kinda took some of the fun out. There was no surprise left and it was really just meeting him on the day. That's exciting don't get me wrong but even at the shower they had his name on the cards etc. kinda like he was already here so I would def think about it. I think too because I've got a 15 and 14 year olds it might be more exciting for them not to know because DD wants a sister and of course DS wants a little brother so it might be more exciting not to know.

The shopping after the baby is born would be fantastic Sarah and you'll have a baby the perfect time of year in Canada not to hot and not to cold

It must soo hard not to get excited Sarah, I tell ya I'd be bouncing off the walls We have Dmom to keep us going her scan is coming up soon as well Can't wait for you girls

yes yes I want to see pics from all of you!

 

[crystal443]

I agree LL we want pics I cannot believe it but I got a cheque in the mail today from Telstra (phone and internet provider) for $68.00, first time I've ever gotten a cheque from a phone company

 

[crystal443]

LL- I keep forgetting to tell you, FS told me to continue with DHEA even if I get a BFP and I would only stop once a heartbeat has been detected by ultrasound. It takes 4 months for DHEA to have maximum effect..and he said its for numbers and quality so I wasn't sure if you're still taking them but if you are don't stop he said they work wonders for numbers and quality

 

[LLbean]

Ok I will take that and CoQ10
