[DaisyQ]

Manuiti!! Congrats!!

 

[Buster1]

Congrats Manuiti healthy and happy 9 months to you.

Hockey that's great news about your fibroid surgery. I bet you'll be back to ttc before you know it.

 

[hockey24]

Hockey - that's great!

Rona - yeah, ivf is so expensive, and it's so unfair that so little of it is covered.

afm - I caved and tested.

Spoiler

I'm 10dp3dt but I didn't test out my Ovidrel trigger so am worried it could still be that. But it's the first time I have ever seen this, so whatever it is, it made me smile.

Omg

Manuiti - that's just fantastic news!!! congratulations xx

 

[DaisyQ]

Update on me - I tested 2 days early and BFN. I'm to wait until Saturday, test again, and then BFN, stop the progesterone.

 

[drsquid]

Bfn of course. Trying to decide if I want to waste the money on a beta. It is extremely unlikely that a day 14 is neg and yet I'm still preg. I've tried fooling myself into that before. Now I'm going to have to deal with telling the clinic I want free rounds etc. and picking a new donor, sigh. I really thought id be joining you bfps this month.

 

[manuiti]

DaisyQ & DrS - but I'm still holding out hope for both of you.

 

[sarahincanada]

omg Manuiti thats great news! I was wondering how the 2WW'ers were doing on this thread. FX for the rest

crystal the wait for scans are horrible! but the sickness is a good sign so I kept holding onto that as I was very sick. I have my 18 week scan in just over 2 weeks, nervous for that as its the first time they really look over bub and measure everything. I guess the worry never ends!

 

[Milty]

Yeah

 

[crystal443]

Sarah- are you finding out gender at your scan? very exciting

 

[sarahincanada]

no, hubby really doesnt want to know, Im on the fence....one day I want to know and the next I want the surprise. I did tell him if we are lucky enough to have a #2 then we would find out that time, so we experience both. I suppose finding out #2 will be more exciting as you are finding out if same or different.
however I might break down on the scan and ask, but Im going to try not to!!!!

how are you feeling?

 

[Milty]

You could do that new trend ... where the scan tech writes it down on a piece of paper and seals it in an envelope...Then you take the envelope to a baker and they make a cake (usually baby shower cake) ...then you and all your family or who ever you want to be there get together and cut the cake!!...If it is pink inside it's a girl if it is blue inside it's a boy!... very exciting that way to find out and you can have somebody video it....

 

[DaisyQ]

Awww! I love that idea! I was thinking about doing something similar. Having DH know and having a baby shower planned where I won't know til I get there. I want it to be a surprise, but at the same time, I want to pick out gender specific clothes, etc.

 

[DaisyQ]

Oh, and I'm out. Onto IVF. Nervous, excited and scared. The upside is that dh and I have gotten back to sex for sex instead of it being for baby making, and it feels like such a relief.

Sarah, good luck at your scan.

 

[crystal443]

Sarah- I'm on the fence as well it really doesn't matter boy or girl but DH does want to find out because everything is pink or blue so if we don't find out I'll be leaving everything until the baby is born I have a feeling its a boy but DH says girl I think we'll probably end up finding out but it does seem to take the fun out of it a bit

I feel ok, really tired, not too sick but nauseated alot which is about the same that I had with DD and DS, my boobs are shockingly sore and I've gone from a B/C cup to a DD in a few short weeks

Daisy- so sorry but I really think you're going to have better luck with IVF can't wait until you start your cycle

Milty- That would be a fun way to find out the gender

 

[LLbean]

I don't know how you could stand not knowing. I had no choice with mine as we only has one ultrasound in the whole pregnancy and her legs were crossed so we had no luck... Glad it was a girl as I had no boy names picked out

 

[drsquid]

daisy- sorry but *hugs* good luck with the next step. if this month doesnt work im planning on moving to ivf too

if i ever manage to get pregnant i dont want to find out. so few surprises in left

 

[sarahincanada]

crystal i dont find everything is pink or blue...theres definitely gender neutral things out there....I recently started buying a few clothes, mainly white, cream or yellow onsies and pjs. the proper clothes can wait till the baby is born...those seem to be more specific but I did find a cute brown and white striped hoody outfit that would look fine on a girl too! and the room Im going green and brown. It would be easier to find out, I would just prefer to know as a couple and hubby really doesnt want to know (although he would if I really insisted, but Im so on the fence so just going with him as his opinion is stronger). Definitely will find out if theres a #2 though!

as for boobs I hear ya! I keep joking that Im showing on my boobs as they are huge and I dont have much of a bump yet (just rounded tummy). My mum claims she didnt have a bump until 6 months with her first, she thinks being tall it tends to distribute differently. Hope your nausea eases, I had it so bad but finally weaned off the medication and I seem to be fine.

milty that is such a cute idea!!

daisy sorry to hear that, but excited you are moving forward with IVF!

 

[crystal443]

Sarah..yeah even white clothing is hard to come by here..we were looking around last weekend and even size 0000 is boy or girl, I think if I dig hard enough I can probably find a few things that could go either way I imagine if the scan person asks do we want to know? I won't be able to help myself
