Just a quick note im in the hospital with a possible pulmonary embolism. Or blood clot to the Lungs. They're running more tests so I don't know a whole lot.

I hope everyone is well.

 

[rosababy]

oh my gosh, Kelly! I hope you're okay! What caused this??

 

[Kelly9]

I have class 3 ohss and blood clots are a side affect of ivf. I'm now being transferred to another hospital where the fertility specialist is for my clinic. I'm going to have some sort of ventilation test to check for a clot and an u/s of my heart likely. If hose show nothing they're going to disuse the risks of doing a lung ct but I don't think I'll be opting for that test due to the radiation. Maybe I'll be lucky and find out if I have 1 or 2 beanies growing. I know they can't see much at just over 4 weeks but theyd be able to see a sac I would think. Updates will be in my journal cause I don't want to kill my phone battery

 

[~Hope~]

Oh my goodness kelly. Hope everything is ok. X

AQ. Good point, think my clinic is internal scan too and that means empty bladder. Fingers crossed! Glad your jabbies were ok last night, I did left side and it stung but didn't really hurt.

 

[Tinks85]

Oh Kelly, I really hope you feel better soon. AT they are moving you to where the specialist is as well. Good luck for all your tests

On the phone yesterday they told me to bring with me a 500ml bottle of water and to start drinking it when they call on Monday morning Had to had an empty bladder for EC.

Feeling better agin today. Diddn't sleep well though, cant get the image of our 3 embies in a dish out o my head. I want to know how they are I know this my sound weird but we sort of leave a part of us with them and have to put so much faith in to them to do the their best for our could be babies. I am finding that hard

 

[~Hope~]

Tink. You are so right, I hadn't really thought about that before, that our future family is in their hands. I am sure they are looking after your little embies well and they will be returned safely to you really soon x

 

[Traskey]

Haven't read anything in here yet, but a friend irl sent me this on fb:

There are women that become mothers without effort, without thought, without patience or loss and though they are good mothers and love their children, I know that I will be better. I will be better not because of genetics, or money or that I have read more books but because I have struggled and toiled for this child. I have longed and waited. I have cried and prayed. I have endured and planned over and over again. Like most things in life, the people who truly have appreciation are those who have struggled to attain their dreams. I will notice everything about my child. I will take time to watch my child sleep, explore and discover. I will marvel at this miracle every day for the rest of my life. I will be happy when I wake in the middle of the night to the sound of my child, knowing that I can comfort, hold and feed him and that I am not waking to take another temperature, pop another pill, take another shot or cry tears of a broken dream. My dream will be crying for me. I count myself lucky in this sense; that God has given me this insight, this special vision with which I will look upon my child that my friends will not see. Whether I parent a child I actually give birth to or a child that God leads me to, I will not be careless with my love. I will be a better mother for all that I have endured. I am a better wife, a better aunt, a better daughter, neighbor, friend and sister because I have known pain. I know disillusionment as I have been betrayed by my own body. I have been tried by fire and hell many never face, yet given time, I stood tall. I have prevailed.I have succeeded. I have won. So now, when others hurt around me, I do not run from their pain in order to save myself discomfort. I see it, mourn it, and join them in theirs. I listen. And even though I cannot make it better, I can make it less lonely. I have learned the immense power of another hand holding tight to mine, of other eyes that moisten as they learn to accept the harsh truth and when life is beyond hard. I have learned a compassion that only comes with walking in those shoes. I have learned to appreciate life. Yes I will be a wonderful mother.

Hi girls,
I haven't been on here for a while. Just want to wish you all good luck. Will be going through ICSI soon. Baby dust to all of the girls still going for it! It will happen!

Rosababy, that is beautiful and so true. Of course we will be better mums. People who have it easy, have no patience or time to appreciate little things. We will. And this will make us all wonderful parents.

I have a friend who is still TTC, will send this to her))

 

[rosababy]

Kelly, thinking of you. I hope everything is going good.

Quiet in here today! It's so gorgeous again here. I'm sitting on our porch, enjoying the sunshine and cool breeze.

My progesterone shot was a breeze last night! No blood, no burning, no tears! i iced the area first, warmed up the oil in my hand for a while, and heated it afterwards. I felt the needle go in, a little prick, but it wasn't too bad. After that initial prick, I felt nothing. My dh was so proud of himself!

Tonight starts the suppositories, and tomorrow I start them twice a day. I was sobbing in church today, and my dh was like how's that progesterone treating you? Funny, hun.

 

[Tinks85]

Rosa - That has just made me So many true words

That's lovely Rosa

 

[~Hope~]

Rosa that was beautiful thank you for sharing.

Sounds like you're becoming even more pro at those shots. Sorry to hear theP is making you tearful though.

Has been quiet here to day, has anyone heard from ST?

 

[Chris77]

rosa, that was beautiful!!

It's beautiful here today too...although it feels like summer!

 

[Tinks85]

Rosa - Are you having injections for progesterone? I am have just been given pesseries, started them this morning. They just look and feel like soap, very weird things.

Hope - No word from ST, hope everything has gone ok and she is PUPO as we type

 

[Chris77]

Tinks, I'm doing suppositories too.
