IVF/ICSI at Guys? Anyone else?

[Serena80]

Izabela - that's great news that they have matched you. It's annoying you'll have to wait until Jan but I think a few months to let your body recover and adjust to the BCP will be the best in the long run. And you'll be able to enjoy Christmas a lot more! X

Key - that's brilliant you've started NCT - are you group nice? Are they all local to you? Are you just doing weekend classes or do you have any evenings?

Kazza - if you don't post on this forum every 30 minutes I'm going to assume you're having the babies! Too excited!

Monkeyfeet - I've got a friend who is thinking of doing BLW - did you find it worked for you? I need to figure all this stuff out in the next month or so. Do you find now that you're doing 3 feeds a day you are able to leave William with your OH/family if you need to go out & do anything? I've not been away from Rosie for more than 2 hrs at a time which can be quite hard. I even took her to the dentists! I need a haircut!
Also when they start solids do you start giving them formula or water, or is it just food & breastmilk? X

Tinkerbell - hope the 2ww isn't too tough for you. I know it's early days but any signs yet? X

Hey girls

Just had midwife, babies head is engaged! Had a tiny spot of blood really tiny! this morning and a few niggly pains that have subsided!!!

Also had an upset stomach!!which is natures way of clearing the bath for birth apparently!! Fingers crossed!

Key glad you've started NCT! Wish I had done so now!

Serena don't worry I'll try and keep checking in!! Thanks for info on cats! Feel a bit better !

Izabella great news that you've been matched! A little break might do you good!

Tinkerbell how are you feeling?

 

[Serena80]

They are on their way!!!!!!

 

[Briss]

kazzab, wow this is so close, finally the moment is here!! best of luck!!

 

[kazzab25]

I'm not so sure all gone quiet now!!

 

[Tinkerbell3]

Oh I got all excited then, tormenting babies
I'm going to take a guess at Wednesday around 7pm weighing 6lb 1 and 6lb 5

Izabela - that's great you've been matched again, enjoy Xmas and before you know it you'll be getting started again.

Nice to see you on here again Monkeyfeet, hope you and William are doing well and how exciting you're starting egg share for a little brother or sister for William

AFM - I'm not feeling very 'lucky' again I know I'm only 3dpt but I keep wanting to wake up feeling sick or with agonising pain in my boobs but nothing. I have been bloated and stomach feels a little achey and cramps plus I've had back ache on and off which had got more consistent today but I know it could be anything.

 

[kazzab25]

Tinkerbell - remember the only symptoms I had were a few cramps no other symptoms at all! Keep that chin up! Then about 2 weeks in I got starving hungry!

 

[Tinkerbell3]

Thanks Kazza, were your cramps bad? Mine haven't been and haven't really lasted long but noticeable ESP Saturday night and last night really felt like AF cramps my backs quite achey now like when AF is due too, making me nervous.

 

[Monkeyfeet81]

Oh my goodness Kazza!!!! I too excited! The clear out should mean they're imminent! Good luck. Breathing is my best tip! (Seriously sounds stupid but it was so useful!) xx

Isabela - know what you mean re disappointment of wait til jam but gives your body a chance to settle and as serena days - you can enjoy Christmas.x

Serena - re weaning I love the blw. William essentially eats what we do (within reason - have to watch salt intake) It is exceptionally messy but just amazing to see him eat his own food. I read quite a bit about weaning in general so made an informed but personal choice. I'm happy to lend you my book on blw if you like - it gives a run down on pros and cons and what it involves. William has water to drink which i offer throughout the day.cows milk is fine in porridge etc but not recommended as a stink until they're one I don't think. If you wanted to borrow the book if you pm me your address ill pop it in the post and you could just return when you're done with it.
How's Rosie and her teeth?

Key, how're you feeling? Hopefully a little better.x

Tinkerbell - I feel for you, I hated the 2ww however your symptoms sound very promising. Keep busy and positive. I'm keeping all crossed for you.x

 

[kazzab25]

Still pregnant!!

 

[Izabela]

Kazza you are nearly there ... So exciting.

 

[Tinkerbell3]

What about now Kazza, still pregnant?

 

[Serena80]

Kazza - are those babies showing any more signs of coming? I had loads of fake outs in the last few weeks when Rosie kept pretending to come out and then didn't! It's frustrating. If your two aren't already on the way then I'm looking forward to what they say about induction tomorrow.

Tinkerbell - it sounds like you have good signs so far. Back aches & pmt cramps were my only symptoms for the first few weeks. I'm really hoping this is your time & wishing you so much luck for test date x

Monkeyfeet - thank you so much for all the info about BLW. It sounds really good, and I like the idea of Rosie eating the same food as us, although that might mean I need to not eat any junk food! I'll pm you my address but you might need it for baby no.2 - I can always pick up a copy from eBay if that's easier x

Hope everyone else is doing well x

 

[kazzab25]

Still pregnant!!!!

I'll update after the appt tomorrow, very frustrating as loads of cramps!!!

 

[Tinkerbell3]

I have a feeling you won't get to the appointment

 

[Izabela]

What about now Kazza?

Thinkerbell how you feeling.

 

[kazzab25]

Hey,

This might be my last post for a while! went for app today, had a sweep, I'm 2 cm dilated and cervix is very favourable and was referred to pru.

Blood pressure high at pru, been admitted tonight for induction tomorrow but I've been getting contractions since the sweep. Might not need the induction!

Excited and scared all rolled into one!

 

[Serena80]

Kazza that's brilliant. You'll be great and this time tomorrow at the latest you'll have Chloe & Josh with you.

Good luck to you and Daniel & looking forward to your next post! X

 

[Tinkerbell3]

Wishing you lots of luck for a nice simple, quick and easy birth. So excited for you, I can only imagine the excitement but scary it must be for you both now it's finally happening

I'm so excited for your next post hopefully being a birth announcement xx

 

[Briss]

Kazza, so exciting!! Best of luck for a quick and easy delivery
