Hey V I'm just getting bloods done. I has hsg done previously and my bmi is good at 24. This is just to check hormone levels, prolactin, thyroid etc. we are hoping to try au natural until may then stop to begin meds. Af appears to be making a very light appearance at the moment - yay! Not the usual period but I'm pleased because it's a sign my body is recovering after all the meds and miscarriage.

Hie ladies, H&G yea I got a bit of cramping with no spotting it's normal. When is your otd.

V I will tell my DS when he is mature enough to keep it to himself because we never told our parents because DH's side are judgemental so we only told our best friends and my sisters.

 

[Rags]

Funfair that sound like a good approach. My mum, brother and sister knew exactly what I was doing so Ds knows that if he wants to speak to anyone else he can talk to them. He has mentioned it to my brother but not to anyone else. I was a little concerned that he might mention it a nursery but that hasn't happened yet and he's never mentioned it to his friends so I have no reason to think that he will raise it with strangers.

I was reading it was normal but you symptom check all the time regardless iits just torture
I'm taking the test Thursday my test day is Wednesday but my other half can't get home earlier (works away,south of England) so I said ad wait

H&G whooohooooo

Hope all you other lovely ladies are keeping well. Thanks loads for all your support.

I'm on day 5 of stims. DR proved to be hellish, never really shook any of the exhaustion, headaches and general feelings of being distanced from everything going on around me. Thought stims had helped a little but no, feel awful today struggled so much at work. Really hoping tomorrow is better. I'm in for scan on Friday, fingers and toes crossed for good news on follies.

 

[Rags]

H&G, fantastic. Congratulations.

 

[HopeandGlory]

Thanks guys for the congrats
I've bn back to the hospital to check my ohss as I've over stimulated more now I'm pregnant
They were like wow when they seen the size of my stomach
Was in pain for around 2-3 days sharp shooting pains n cramps tho it's much better now tho sleeping is still hard
Just relaxing tho n taking it slow
Back tmro for another check up cz if I've got any bigger they may need to drain the fluid
Bloods came back fine tho so I'm pleased
First proper scan is 1st oct
Everyone else get such an early scan
H4m when did u find out how many babies u were having? Was it a lot sooner than 3 months?
It's an internal cz apparently theyl be really small so early
Trying how did ur scan go today?

 

[H4M]

H&g congrats again! ! I found out at my very first scan and that was internal too so you will prob find out on 1st !! You hoping for twins?? They are amazing, I can't explain how fantastic it is to be a Mummy... Farless a twin Mummy they are just perfect but growing far too quick!! Xx

How's everyone doing? Xx

 

[Trying2012]

Were you there this morning H & G? Sorry you're OHSS has gotten worse hoping they can get it under control for you! And eeep for having your scan booked.

I was up this morning, was a little disappointed with the progress though the clinic say I'm fine. Have two on right at 10 & 12mm and 5 on left between 12/13mm with 6 small ones between the two of them. I have to stim over the weekend and back on Monday for another scan. Hoping that EC will be Wednesday.

 

[H4M]

Keep positive trying ! You may get a few more bigger over weekend. I'm sure it'll all be fine xx

 

[HopeandGlory]

Aw that's great I hope everything is okay cz the nurses are wanting to scan early cz I'm at risk of ectopic as I have 1 block tube
If bn getting niggles on that side too so my minds dn overtime as no ones reasurring me if this is normal or not
I would love twins but my frame is small ad feel I would really struggle
I would be blessed with 1 or 2 as long as their healthy
Awww it's amazing to hear ur loving motherhood tbh it's not sunk in still and it won't until I get the all clear
Haven't even told my gp yet until this internal scan confirms it's looking good
Trying sorry to hear ur a little dis-hearted by ur follicle sizes
I had to be re scanned and get more injections as I was slow at developing too so don't worry about it I hope for ur EC on Wednesday fingers crossed for u

 

[Minno]

Ladies good morning. H&G sorry to hear re ohss but wishing you lots of luck for scan - how exciting 😀 maybe
twins?!

Xx

 

[Minno]

Any news from V? If you're reading this V, lots of love and good luck! Soon you will have your bundle to cuddle xx

 

[V2R]

Hi girls sorry I've been awol...first week off & I've had a hectic week, just trying to get organised & catch up with everyone before baby comes. I've been keeping well got my check up on Wed (38 week) so really hoping baby is engaged.

H&G Congrats you will find out at your 7week scan if there's one or two. If only one I assume you will just get 12 week then 20 week scan. I'm sure H4M got more with having twins.

Trying good luck for your scan tomorrow & for EC on Wednesday.

Minno how you doing? Nearly another month closer for you :-D When did you say your getting tests done again? Is your hubby getting his swimmers re-checked? & are you taking any pregnacare at the moment? I'm all questions lol xx

 

[HopeandGlory]

Aw V I was wondering how u was keeping
I can assume you would have bn run ragged I know I would be in a blind panick about now lol
Really nervous for my scan incase something is wrong
A guess after the amount I've bn through it's natural to think my
Bubbles gna be burst but...... Il cross any bridge when and if it comes to it
Pray it's okay
If I don't hear from u before then good luck with ur labour I wish u n the new born gd health and happiness n catch up with us soon as ur settled V

 

[Minno]

Hey V, not long now
I've had all the bloods done by my gp last week so go back on Friday for results. We are doing fet this time so have four embryos ready and waiting - no need for dh to do any more tests. I'll be taking immunosuppression this time round to help implantation. Not doing it until after Florida holiday in July but all organised and looking good to go next year. Curious to see what the doc says re blood results tho!
Hope you're enjoying these two weeks of mat leave cod when baby comes, trust me, you'll never have a minute!! Xx
