Hope you n baby are doing well v
Can't wait for an update

 

[HopeandGlory]

Hey gals had a bit of a scare was spotting so called epu n got my scan my concern is them telling me my baby is smaller than it should n I'm
A week behind my actual date I said ivf mmm isn't not possible has this happened to anyone of you's
They have me worried

 

[glitter1980]

Aw H&G sounds like it's been a scary time for you. Did they give you any reason for the bleed/what did the say RE the measurements of bub?

How many weeks are you now H&G?

Keep in mind that a single mm can be a couple days' worth of growth, and they are so tiny that any little movement or measurement mistake can make a huge difference this early on. Xxx

 

[H4M]

H&G try not to worry, if they were worried they would have told you so. I was a few days behind and that when pregnant but all sorted itself out. Xx

Hope everyone else is ok? X

Waiting patiently for exciting news !! ! (Checking everyday) x

 

[Minno]

I'm waiting too!! Come on V...
H&G can understand your worry but things change so quickly from day to day - I'm sure bubba will have caught up by your next scan.

As for me - well I have convinced DH that we will go for FET in February so not long to wait now! Am just in touch with the clinic to begin the preparations!! x

 

[HopeandGlory]

Thanks for all your replies I had no explanation for the spotting as it's brown it's old blood and as the scan was okay and no blood around the sac or uterus they are not taking it further tho I felt I should have more done like bloods urine or internal incase of infection etc just feel my midwife whom I've not met yet as it's bn student midwifes isn't given me great faith in them
I used online the ivf calculator n it still don't make sense I think ninewells
May have bn 5 days off n then yeah it totally adds up to exactly what was said to me
I'm ment to be 11w on Monday according to ninewells but if not then il be 10w 2d
I have my 12w scan in which depending on either one il be able to get it
11 nov can't see the date quick enough lol
How are us all? Minno that's great so exciting for u Itl fly in once u get the ball rolling
Glitter I've no idea the messaurmrnts now it's the equivalent to a 9w pregnancy tho how's things gn with u hunni? Did u know ur measurements? How do ninewells date ur pregnancy isn't it 2 weeks before egg retrieval? I've no idea how they came to the 17 May I'm getting the 22nd
H4m how's you n the twins easy peasy is it lol
Can't wait for v to make an appearance hope everything's okay

 

[glitter1980]

Hey H&G

It's sounds as though alls ok. I know how you feel about being left in limbo. When I had my bleed at 13w + 2 it's last for 4 days. I went for a scan and all was ok but it's only natural to want to know why. I never knew why and still don't. I never knew my measurements sorry I meant that when they are measuring the bubs (sonographer) it's so easy to get it wrong because they are so tiny!.

At my 20 week scan I was measuring 3 days behind. The sonographer never told me it was me who spotted the measurement on the screen. Babies are like humans some are taller, smaller, bigger - fatter. If something was up they would have been honest with you. Try be reassured by what you saw honey, worry won't change anything, easier said than done I know xx

Woo hoo Minno!!! That's great news! Is Feb a definite goer? I've read so many stories about women's own immune system attacking the embies. I'm so excited for you!!. Not long now. Great news Minno. You've been through such a journey ( cheese cliche) but so true - really hope and believe it'll work this time! xxxx

Hey H! How's mummyhood?

Xx

Waves and hugs xx

V - anticipating your update xxx

AFM - heard my little princesses heartbeat today at the hospital. My movement seems really sporadic it worries me a lot. Some days I feel her every couple of hours other days nothing! It scares the hell out of me. I felt nothing for 18 hours then about 10 thuds a few hours ago. February can't come quick enough!!! xx

 

[Minno]

Thanks ladies.
Feb is definitive. Now dh is fully on board and raring to go!
No word back from the clinic yet which is a bit annoying grrrrr but it won't be an issue. It's fet so no donor synching to do etc. This time round it's two back, if two thaw ok, and all the trimmings such as embryo glue etc Gotta throw the book at it now. At least could have two goes potentially with four embies
Please tell me Feb isn't far away. I wanted to hear back from the clinic as want to order my meds - could be starting them in Jan!

Glitter - it's so reassuring when you get booted inside isn't it it's a wonderful thing. Your lo sounds like a little minx keeping you on your toes xxx

 

[glitter1980]

Aw Minno! Thanks great! Loving this news. You convince me Feb isn't far away and I'll do my best to convince you!.

How does it work with the clinic this time round Minno? How often do you need to attend prior to the transfer?.

How are you feeling about it all? Xx

 

[Minno]

Ha ha we can keep reassuring one another! I have a friend who is due in Feb too - it's going to be a busy month. It's almost November already and then it's xmas and then bam we're almost there!
I am excited this time round but also know it's last chance saloon. It's a really simple process compared to fresh cycle. I just start the mess with my af on the month tub want to do the transfer, or the month before it she arrives end of the month, then I get scanned here 10-12 days later and if lining is ok, transfer week after that! Just fly out day before, get a check up by clinic, get the transfer, and fly home. So simple.
If it doesn't work we may have another go if we still have two blasts left. I'll be getting Presnisone this time round too to dampen my immune system a bit. Just hope it makes the difference.

Now where are you at Glitter? How far along are u now? How are u feeling? Blood
Pressure ok etc? Xxx

 

[Minno]

Start the meds not the mess - stupid iPhone text!
