Hey Glitter. I'm not prepping much. I've been keeping up my fitness classes and taking folic acid, that's pretty much it. Can't quite believe I'll be starting the meds in just a few days. Just trying to work out when cd1 will be. Have scan booked for 15th it may have to bring it forward or make it later depending. Then it's off to prague the following week for transfer, all being well. It's mad!
How are you doing? Not long to go now? How have you been keeping?

Hope everyone had a wonderful Xmas. Xxx

 

[H4M]

Good morning everyone,
Hope you all had a lovely christmas? Wow Minno not long at all that has come around very quickly!! X

Funfair how did your wee boys operation go? Hope he's ok and you managed to enjoy christmas xx
We had a fantastic christmas and the twins were absolutely spoilt rotten !! So much stuff!! I can't believe how lucky we are . The twins are getting on great, sleeping right through the night which they have done for a few weeks which is great!! It was a year ago today I found out we were pregnant!!! How crazy is that!! Only feels like yesterday! X
Hope your all well and happy new year and lots of baby dust for 2015 xx

Hey Minno

Doing well thanks, a few niggles, the dreaded SPD!!. It's very, very painful I can't walk without crutches but I would go through so much more, so not complaining. Oh and carpel tunnel syndrome. I'm 32 weeks! Not long to go but feels like forever at the same time, really looking forward to meeting her now.


Not long till Prague at all! It's good Christmas had been inbetween, a good time distraction. Is it the 2 blastos your having out back Minno? I can only read back a couple of pages so not sure what you've mentioned. Are they giving you some type of anti-immune system drugs?. Sorry Minno I don't know what they're called. I remember you mentioning it a few months back about the possibility of your immune system maybe attacking the eggies.

[Minno]

Ouch Glitter that sounds sore! It will all be worth it in the end though and not much longer to go at all. This is the hardest bit when you're getting quite big and everything is stretching. Lots of tlc needed and a good body cream!! Xx

Yes I am being prescribed prednisolone 5mg every day starting on cd 1 with the oestrogen. It's to help with implantation and hopefully take the edge of my immune system in case that is the issue. I have requested two blasto embryos back but it all depends on how they defrost and look after they thaw. I'd be quite happy with one good blast to put back. I'm just praying that at least one out of the four survives! I hope that having four gives me a chance of at least one go at this. Been looking at flights today and trying not to get ahead of myself but it's very hard. Will be a nightmare trying to fit it in with work but for once I'm just going to prioritise myself and work can take a back seat! Going to sign myself off for a week at least.

Wow H I can't believe how quickly time has passed. Twinnies first xmas - aw! Hope u all had a lovely time.
V - how are u and little man? Hope u had a fab xmas too.

Funfair, hope all is well your end and wee man is ok.
Xxx

 

[H4M]

Wow glitter 32 weeks already????? That has gone in very quickly!! Sorry to hear about your problems but it will all be worth it when you hold your bundle x

Aww Minno I can't wait! I have a strong feeling twins are on the cards! Yay!!!! X

 

[Minno]

Aw thank you H. Dh and I were just talking about the possibility. I feel very lucky to be able to have another go at this. Part of me thinks I won't even get a BFP this time as I've had two the last twice I've cycled that it seems unlikely id be lucky enought to get another one, let alone twinnies! I guess you just never know tho. I just want to get in with it now.
Do you recommend twins then H?! Lol xxx

 

[H4M]

Third time lucky !!!! Yes!! I love having my twins, they have been great though so I cannot complain at all! Love having the two and seeing the bond they have already xx

 

[V2R]

Welcome TTC you'll get loads of support on here

Glitter 32 weeks WOW not long at all to go now how are you feeling about birth? are you organised?

Minno I have everything crossed for you. Great that you have started meds every day is a little step closer. Defo get signed off work & relax for a week. Happy 13th birthday to your son.

First xmas was lovely our wee boy is so good he makes my heart burst sometimes I get emotional looking at him I just know how lucky we are. xx

 

[Minno]

How lovely to hear from you V. So thrilled you had such a lovely xmas with your wee one - children make xmas very special.
Yes I am about to start meds and should be out to Prague in 2-3 weeks time. Scary but exciting!
Xx

 

[TTC 2013]

Thanks everyone, we both have blood tests on the 12 th of January. Not sure how long it will take to begin after this. So nervous. Not sure what the odds are with my partner having a vasectomy, they seem to think its pretty straight forward. Cant find anything on the internet that says ivf has worked for anyone in my situation so a bit worrying.

Wishing everyone all the best for 2015 and hopefully everyone gets there babies . Happy New Year when it comes x

 

[V2R]

2-3 Weeks will fly by Minno then the wait starts. Are you planning on giving up exercise when you get back from Prague?

TTC can I ask how old you & your partner are & do you have any kids at the moment? Is there no chance of you falling pregnant naturally after your partner has his vasectomy reversed or is there problems with yourself? Sorry lots of questions.

Happy New Year when it comes I will probably be in bed well before the bells lol.
I hope everyone's dreams come true in 2015....Fingers crossed for everyone XX

 

[TTC 2013]

Hi V2R
My partner is 40, I am 26, he had his reversal last year after 10 years. He has 2 children to his previous marriage, which makes it even more difficult for me. He had an analysis after the op and they found zero sperm which proves the operation was not a success. Not aware of any problems with myself at the moment. Hope not. Maybe find out when I get bloods taken.

 

[Minno]

Hi V. Yes will be giving up exercise for the duration of the treatment cycle and hopefully for the next 9 months after lol! Body is playing silly beggars St the moment - breakthrough bleeding and not sure if it's cd1 or not. Not really due on for another few days and it's not heavy so I guess will just have to wait and see. Hope I'm not missing my window and will have to wait until next cycle if so. Grrrrrr

 

[Minno]

Ps happy new year to everyone tomorrow midnight. I can't be bothered with NY myself as I don't drink so it's all a bit boring I find. But I'm hoping everyone's wishes come true next year. Love to all xxx
