IVF/ICSI in Aug/Sept/Oct Updates on 1st page!

[lisasimon]

Hi all ! Just dropping in quick to say that I went into labour on 14th January and my baby boy was born at 30+5 weeks by emergency csection on the 15th January at 06.36am. He is named Jackson and weighed 3lbs!! It was a big shock all happened very quickly and it's been a whirlwind of worry yet happiness ever since. Jackson is being looked after really well in nicu (neonatal intensive care) and is doing really well. He is 11 days old today and has just come off his oxygen. I love him so much, leaving him at the hospital rips my heart to pieces.....I don't know when he will be home yet x x x

congrats st glad lo is doing well he will be home before you know it xx

Congrats again to Maddie and Hope on the arrival of their LO's x

Tiff, Tinks and all the preg ladies- Hope all is progressing well and that you soon have healthy buba's in your arms x

Hi to everyone else x

AFM- Not a great deal to report really. My best friend died in Nov so been a bad time but its brought home once again how short life is and i have been so unhappy in my job that i finally realised enough is enough and quit last Thursday. The relief is amazing and i am looking for something part time now as need to calm down before our 3rd IVF cycle with ICSI this time around which we will be starting end of March. I am in hospital on Thursday for my lap, hystoscopy and endo scratch so hoping it all goes well and brings us our miracle xxx

ST! A little boy I'm so happy for you and that he's doing so well I guess that means I'm next hey? Crazy!

Aq nice to see you around, have had the odd thought wondering what you were up to, you must be getting excited for your ICSI? Good for you for quitting, I've left a job that made me very unhappy, best thing I ever did.

Hi to everyone else! Not much going on for me, I'm being flown out to yellowknife on tuesday for a scan on wednesday, I am very excited to see my little girl and know how big she is and position etc. I just pray for a healthy happy scan.

 

[Tinks85]

A massive congrats to ST on the birth of Jackson. So sorry everything was rushed and not as planned but its great to hear he is progressing well do you have any pics???

Good luck for your scan Kelly

AQ, hope you are ok, glad you are making positive changes and that they have a new plan for you this time around. I wish you so much luck Hun

Things are not good with me. My MIL passed away on the 17th We have known for about 6 months that she had terminal cancer but she suddenly deteriorated from being fairly healthy and strong very quickly so it came as quite a shock. It was sooooo important to her to see the twins as well it just breaks my heart

If that wasn't enough I have also had a little scare, when I got up last Tuesday morning I lost a big gush of blood after a few tests it appears to be what's called a cervix ectropian. The good news is that it is unlikely to harm the babies but it could happen again. I just have to keep an eye on things but as things stand its not serious or too much of a concern A very scary experience though.

St congratulations on the birth of little Jackson, I'm sure he's a little fighter and will be back home with mommy and daddy in no time!

Aq glad to hear from you, sorry to hear about the death of your friend, I also lost my best friend 2 years ago, she was 20 years old, 3 weeks shy of her 21st birthday, it definately wakes you up to how short life is doesn't it
Hope your ok tho hun and try not to worry about your lap etc too much, it's not too bad although I will say you'll be sore for a while afterwards, luckily it's all keyhole so scarring isn't too bad either!

Tinks, sorry to hear about your bleed, I also had a big bleed but at 38 weeks, they told me they had no idea what it was and they induced me at 39 weeks just to be safe! If they had of told me it was something like that I would have turned down the induction but tbf I was glad in the end because while I was in labour her heart rate kept dipping and it turned out it was from cord compression, when she came out shehad the cord wrapped round her neck and her face was blue so I'm thankful for the induction really (not trying to scare anyone btw, they didnt let dh cut the cord obviously but they put her straight on me but she wasnt breathing right so they took her off to give her some oxygen but she was fine on her own )

Tiff - you next hun, I'm very excited for you! Especially after the loss of Hannah you deserve some happiness, can't wait to hear you've met your little girl

Hi trask, hope, maddie and all the other yummy mummys on this thread! hope all your little ones are fine and lovely and blossoming!

Lily is great, she's so amazing I've never known love like it! Dh and I are already thinking about having more he thinks he's getting too old to be a daddy (he's only 28! )
My cousins getting married in rhodes in 2014 and I don't wanna be pregnant for the wedding so we're gunna wait until after the wedding to have another round of ivf
We are gunna have 2 blasts put back again, we had 2 blasts this time but only 1 took and I often think if we only had 1 put back and that was the one that didn't take it doesn't bare thinking about, but anyway if we have one baby it's a blessing, if we have twins, even more blessing!

Anyway I've rambled on enough
Hope everything is well with everyone!
Lots of love to you all

 

[Tinks85]

Princess how scary, sounds like the induction was the best thing all round

My bleed is coming from outside of the cervix. I had a cervix exam tuesday morning and then had an emergency colposcopy Wednesday which confirmed I have an ectropian. Thankfully no blood is coming from inside the cervix and everything is intact. Very very scary, my first thought was miscarriage or pre term labour

I know I have yet to experience life with a baby but we do not regret putting back 2 blasts at all. It felt right at the time and it still feels right

 

[africaqueen]

Kelly- Good luck for your scan on wed. Glad all is going well x

Tinks- Thank you. I am sorry to hear about your MIL passing away. Thoughts with you and your dh and his family x

Princess- Aww that's sad about your friend too hun. So young. Glad all is well with your lil girl and as regards the lap, luckily i know exactly what to expect as its my 3rd one but in one way its not good as know what's coming an i was very sore after previous laps and they will be going over scar tissue so may take a lil longer to heal x

 

[Tinks85]

Thanks AQ, DH has taken it very hard. He was very close to his mum. He is also one of the executors as his mum and dad separated years ago so this had made things hard, making all the decisions and doing all the planning

Hope your lap goes ok, sorry you have had so many lots of pampering that day

 

[Maddie30]

Hi ladies,

St hope all going ok xx

Tinks glad nothing serious. Hope your keeping well. I'm so sorry to hear about mother in law. Its so sad. Hope your husband bearing up. It will take a lot of time. My mil passed while I was expecting too. So very very sad. Take care xx

Princess lovely to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about friend. Glad your keeping well and enjoying motherhood. It's the best. We want another too but want to enjoy our little girl on her own a bit longer xx

AQ lovely to hear from you. So much sadness. I'm sorry to hear about your friend too. Good for you packing in work. You need to do what makes you happy. I'm so pleased about March for you. I can't wait to follow your journey. Hope your hubby well too xx

Hi to everyone else on this amazing thread xx

 

[Kelly9]

Tinks sorry about your mil

princess any progress on the recovery? Glad lily is well.

My brains gone to mush now... but i hope everyone else is doing well.

I fly out for my scan wed very excited thanks for the well wishes. DH and I will use our frozen embies for a cycle in 2014 to add our last addition to the family, we want three kids, but I don't know if I'll do 1 or 2. I very much don't want twins for my last go but the odds of twins with a FET are lower... we'll discuss it when the time comes. 8 weeks to go for me, I can't wait to hold my second beautiful daughter in my arms and be filled with happiness instead of sadness, it's been a long time coming.

 

[~Hope~]

St congratulations! Hope you and Jackson are doing well xx

Tinks glad they found the source of the bleed. Rest up honey xx

Aq good on you packing in your job. I'll keep my fingers tightly crossed for march.

Hi to all my other lovely ladies - my brain is mush from lack of sleep but I wouldn't trade these babies for anything

 

[Kelly9]

Mine is much from lack of sleep and I'm still pregnant!!!!! Lol. Glad you're enjoying them they're so cute!

 

[princess_1991]

No tiff still no progress on my leg, being sent to see a specialist in Birmingham soon, hopefully will be getting somewhere with my disability claim now my consultant has sent through information that will help give us the decision we need, we are going to an appeal tribunal but with this information they may decide to just give us the claim rather then carry on with the appeal

Also hopefulky getting somewhere with our compensation claim, we're in touch with our solicitor and things are moving forwards, we're currently waiting for a response from the hospital after sending them a complaint letter, im interested to see if they're gunna accept liability

Anyway, hope everyone is well!

St hope Jackson is still doing well and going frim strength to strength, also hoping your settling in to mommyhood nicely

Tiff not long for you now! You deserve every happiness thst comes with the birth of this little girl

 

[Kelly9]

Well hopefully you get somewhere with the recovery I can't imagine not being able to walk.

If I have to clean up anymore crap today I'm going to loose my freaking mind

 

[princess_1991]

It is hard but after 4 months im used to it now, its just the sleepless nights with the pain that you never get used to, not really fair considering Lily sleeps straight through the night and has done since 5 weeks
Are you in your nesting mode then?

 

[Kelly9]

I've been in nesting mode for a while since I have to leave our house at 35 weeks due to there being no hospital here. It's finally starting to calm down some. I fly back to NS in 17 days so now I'm thinking about what to pack and how I can possibly pack as light as possible. Skylers been a handful lately to so some days I feel like I'm being pulled in a thousand different directions. Oh he hurt himself.

 

[~Hope~]

Kirsten tell me your secret for making a 5 week old sleep through the night!

 

[Kelly9]

Skyler slept through the night very early to but technically hope sleeping through the night for a newborn is considered 5 hours of straight sleep, though lily might be sleeping more then that. I think Skyler was going 6-7 hours at 5-6 weeks old.
