Calling all RMA Ladies (1st page updates)

[iheartqueens]

Kins - Sorry to hear about your friend. Hopefully you can find comfort with each other.

Furmama - Welcome! Hopefully you'll soon be joining me and many other in this thread's success stories. It's been a long road for many of us and it's really been fabulous to have all of the support from so many others who are going through it too.

As for considering timing - my whole world has been revolving around cycles and treatments for a year now. We did two IUIs and two IVFs right in a row. Took some time off after for a laparoscopy, a vacation and then to open a new business. We decided on November because December was out of the question with the holidays AND I was praying to be pregnant for Christmas AND I wanted to be in my second trimester for my best friends wedding in Cancun in April. I knew I couldn't wait until mid-next year to go for it again.

Fingers crossed that you get preggo quickly, I don't know much about RMA PA but I am sure that you're in good hands

Sorry I've been away....spoiled so sorry about your loss and kind sorry about your friend.
AFM my first medicated IUI cycle failed and I have begun spotting today. My RE spoke to me about moving on to IVF with ICSI which is not the conversation I expected. My RE said that I could try one last IUI cycle this month but I don't think I want to waste time or money if the chances are slim for us. So now I wait for further instructions....

Clomid- is there a correlation to cancer?

Hi Kins!

From what I'm reading - yes and no. From my doctor? Yes.

My Dr said due to my family history of O. Cancer she will limit me to 3 Clomid cycles. Also, I've heard Clomid in general should be limited (5-6 cycles) irregardless of history.

Kinda scary actually... my friend told me to not even do the clomid, to do the shots instead, but of course that's even higher chance of multiples, which is my 2nd biggest fear (Next to not being able to conceive).

Nice to meet yoU!

Congrats hopeful!!!

 

[Hopeful_NJ]

Thank you ladies!!! I still don't feel pregnant though...the few symptoms I do have seem to come and go. Makes me worry a little, but I'm praying for rising numbers tomorrow!

 

[iheartqueens]

Hopeful - Congratulations!!! Great beta numbers! So excited for you. Don't worry too much about the symptoms, besides sore boobs, some tiredness and a few very short headaches and bouts of nauseousness from week 5-8 I didn't feel pregnant either. In fact I still don't and I just had my last appointment at RMA today. I keep telling my hubby that I can't believe how great I feel and he said that after the long road we've taken to get here that I deserve to have an easy pregnancy. Maybe he's right?!?!

AFM - I graduated from RMA NY today. Bittersweet almost, now I am just a regular pregnant lady and I won't have the pleasure of seeing and hearing my baby every week anymore. I can't even explain how grateful I am to have found the amazing doctors and staff at RMA. I really loved it there. Photos of the baby attached, he or she is staring to look like a baby! Only 31 more weeks until we find out if it's a boy or a girl... I can't wait to hold this baby in my arms!

[Kins]

Good luck tomorrow hopeful

 

[iheartqueens]

I hope everyone had a nice Christmas!!!

Hopeful - Will be thinking of you tomorrow Good luck!!!

AFM - We ended up telling the family and close friends about our pregnancy. It was a little earlier than we would have liked (only 10 weeks) but couldn't pass up the opportunity to tell everyone at Christmas and in person. Everyone is super excited... it's really starting to set in that we'll have a baby in July! Can't wait

 

[Hopeful_NJ]

OMG...They said it could be three!!! We transferred two but it looks like one split. So far all three have gest & yolk sacs, but one of them looks to be big according to the Dr. So she is not sure how that one will develop. My husband almost passed out!! Never expected this at all. Will have to wait until next weeks appt. to see if all three develop HBs. Just waiting to get my beta numbers later today. I'm just amazed and so happy right now.

 

[iheartqueens]

Yay hopeful, that is great news Congratulations...times 3!!!!
