Assisted Conception and LTTTC - Due in 2013/2014

[FirstTry]

Welcome, Sugar! GL on your scan.

Em: I beat you to it. My pants have been getting tighter, so when I was at Target a few days ago, I tried on maternity pants. Soooo wonderful! I bought a pair. Though they're not really attractive. I need to hem them and maybe can wear them to work witha long sweater.

My jeans were soo uncomfortable early on too. So I got a Bella band to start which was great for work for a good month. I am now however sporting some maternity pants. I do warn you, once you wear them once, you will NOT go back to your regular tight and uncomfortable pants! They definitely require longer tops or maternity tops to hide the bunching in the back and panel in the front. I guess our butts will grow into the extra room in the back!

ladies sorry for being rubbish been a long day today- I've got my step daughter, my niece an nephew until tomorrow night so we took them all to the beach we had a nice day

I've been wearing dresses lately as its been hot, been wearing leggings too everything feels so tight! I might buy something soon as my stomach is still HUGE from when I overstimulated and my ovaries are massive too!!!

Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend???

Hey Ladies.. sorry i've been MIA for a few days.. have had a bad cold- low fever last night (100 F), was worried that it was damaging to fetus, but the Doctor said as long as it goes down with tylenol not to worry...

I still don't feel pregnant! Not peeing like last time, my boobs dont hurt and aren't any bigger, etc.

Also- how pregnant am I at this point? my 6day hatching blast was transferred on 5/24... help?

 

[Em260]

First - I'm jealous because we don't have Target here in the city and I love Tarjay! Maybe I'll order something online.

L4 - ooh I totally forgot about bella bands. I'll have to try to those out thanks!

Scerena - the beach sounds fantastic right now . We're having tons of rain.

BabyD - sorry you're sick . I used a calculator I found online here is a link: https://www.ivf.ca/fet5dayduedate.php
Just add one day since you transferred a day 6 blast

 

[BabyD225]

Thanks Em.... thank god the rain let up.. it was crazy, right? Just humid out.. but I'm stuck inside sick anyway... xo

 

[BabyD225]

Em.. when I put it in the calculator... it says my due date is Feb 8th, so then Feb 7th since it was a 6 day blast? That makes me only one day behind you, when I should be a few....

Oops I meant subtract one day not add hehe. That calculator has my due date as Feb 5th so we're two days apart. Makes sense because my transfer date was the 21st but I transferred a day 5 blast and you transferred 3 days after me with a day 6 blast. Yeah the rain was horrible! I'm stuck inside with a cold too . I've been napping all day and watching chick flicks

 

[2girls1baby]

2girls - thanks for the tip. I've tried benadryl but it makes me too drowsy the next day, even if I only take 1/2 a pill. Maybe I'll try cutting down to a 1/4.

L4 - I'll try to change the title to due in 2013 and 2014 just need to figure out how to edit . You're right, we are a unique bunch. Ooh I didn't realize your anatomy scan is on Monday!

Em, you could also try Unisom...maybe it wont make you as tired the next day. It also helps morning sickness.

Is anyone else already feeling uncomfortable in their jeans? I know it's just bloat from the meds but so uncomfortable. I had to unbutton mine yesterday as the day wore on and had marks from them too. Thank goodness I wear scrubs during the week and they have an elastic waistband.

Yes, I am too! I read that our uteruses are already twice their size!

WOW.. already? I didn't realize it grew so quickly! I must say that scrunching my stomach together and bending over already feels uncomfortable!

I've been taking Benadryl (same ingredient as unisom) at bedtime. It's helped with my insomnia and my allergies. Hasn't helped with the nausea yet My nausea hasn't been super bad, just enough to be annoying. But the I realize it's because of the baby, and so I'm happy to have it! I know that sounds odd, but it means I'm still pregnant! I have been so worried about this pregnancy. My last beta was on 5/30 at 20 dpo and it was only 395! I'm hoping and praying that my US on Wednesday goes well

 

[Em260]

2girls - thanks for the tip! Maybe I'll try it even though it's the same active ingredient as benadryl who knows it might work I just read in my What to Expect book that the uterus will be the size of a grapefruit by the end of week 8 which was pretty shocking to me. It grows fast!

Ali - I feel the same way, thankful for the nausea. DH thinks I've lost my mind but I keep telling him it's a good sign . I'm worried too despite trying to keep a PMA. I think we'll all feel better after that first ultrasound.

 

[scerena]

I feel better after seein baby's heartbeat it is reassuring Em

to everyone else

 

[FirstTry]

Em: yes, I know about the lack of Target in Manhattan. I spent a decade there before escaping But I think there's one in Brooklyn, near Park Slope, on Flatbush Ave maybe? Just in case you really get the urge for a Tarjay day.

AFM, I'm appreciating every little bout of nausea. They mostly come after eating (?). But I did almost puke after brushing my teeth yesterday. Only 8 days til u/s #2!

Oh, I'm 7w1d now, so I will graduate from PIO to Endometrim!

 

[scerena]

FirstTry Bet you can't wait for you 2nd u/s! Exciting times nausea is a killer isn't it- brushing my toungue makes me gag a lot!!!
I'm mainly exhausted alllllllll the time!!!!

 

[Em260]

First - happy 7 weeks Yay for graduating from PIO! I get pukey while brushing my teeth too. I'm considering switching toothpaste to something unflavored. Oh yeah I've been to the Tarjay in Brooklyn but it's quite a trek for me because I live in midtown.

I'm planning a trip to Target in a bit, once I get out of bed. I've been extra lazy today, very sleepy and fighting nausea and a headache. I need to get a thumb drive to take to my first US! While I'm there I'm going to check out their maternity clothes. I'm lucky, my Target is less than 5 mins away! It's actually the closest grocery. That is a blessing and a curse, believe me!

Yes! Oh my! We did it :yippee: congrats to you as well!!!

 

[Em260]

Ali - I'm jealous you live so close to Target! We order everything from Amazon and it's just not the same. I used to love pushing my cart up and down the aisles finding all sorts of things I never knew I needed
