Welcome Chase!

hold - Again, so happy for you

want - My first OB appt is the 21st, seems like it is taking F.O.R.E.V.E.R to get to this day Hope all is good with you!

 

[Whisper82]

Whisper I'm glad you were able to talk to the parents. I love your baby pics! How often are you seeing your OB?

Hold I'm so glad your baby is doing well. Isn't it amazing to hear the heartbeat? I'm sorry about the vanishing twin. I hope your ovaries go back to normal size soon.

I hope everyone else is doing well.

Happy - I am seeing my OB every four weeks. So I go back in four weeks, and I also have my 20 week u/s six weeks from now. I was wondering how your twins are comparing in size? One of mine measured 14 weeks one day (about where it should be) and the other was 14 weeks six days! Whoa. One has seemed to always seemed to measure a bit bigger than the other, though I'm not even sure it is always the same one.

Hold - Sorry about the vanishing twin, but so glad your baby is looking good! Hope the bleeding has all stopped and that you can relax and enjoy now!

Chase - Welcome! So glad to have you join us!

Michelle - 10 more days now! I always feel like 10 days feels so much shorter than two weeks. 10 days is doable.

 

[Whisper82]

Oh! And by the way, I think I am finally starting to get my energy back! I was able to really start the process of dejunking our house yesterday so things will be nice and organized for our new life with babies. Also, I haven't been nauseous for a few days and my appetite is starting to improve.

Welcome Chase!

Whisper the OB said I'll be seeing him every 4 weeks but I'm being referred to a specialist in high risk pregnancy due to my age and the twins and he said I will probably be seeing the specialist every two weeks until I'm 28 weeks. My twins measured exactly the same 12w0d. They have been measuring the same every time. I'm so glad you are getting your energy back I can't wait to have mine back. I lost 3 pounds and the dr said it was normal but I needed to eat more. I have my NT scan on Monday. I hope everything comes out good.

Whisper, what a lovely phone call with the Father of the baby. Exactly what you needed

Holdontohope, my best friend experienced vanishing twin syndrome. She said it's actually very common and most people don't even realise they were carrying twins until the ultrasound shows the vanishing twin. My friend went on to have a very healthy pregnancy and baby - I know you will too x

Welcome Chase!

I had my 12 week scan on Wednesday and they've moved my due date to 26th July. So I'm finally 12 weeks today woo!! I feel like it's definitely a milestone I've been waiting for. Our baby looked perfect and is developing as it should. My tummy is also getting much rounder although still not obviously pregnant. Hope you are all well x

 

[holdontohope]

Thank you everyone!!!

I am just beyond excited to have 1 baby that is measuring correctly with a good heartbeat I couldn't have asked for a better outcome! I am going to be the best single mom I can possibly be to my miracle baby and my family is going to spoil he/she rotten I can't wait!!

Welcome Chase

You girls are discussing doctors visits... Were you seen more early on then every 4 weeks? Next week I see FS on Tuesday for another u/s and it will be my last appt with him. Then I see OB again on Thursday. As of this morning I have basically put on light bed rest.. Not allowed to do much at all due to my ovaries. Quite a scary situation it has turned out to be.. But all is worth it. Only plus side is I will be getting more scans because of it!

 

[want2conceive]

Michelle - I know what you mean but it will be here before you know it.

Sand - Congrat's on 12weeks hun!

Hold - I have been to appointments in less then 4weeks time but I have to I think because of my age.

Happy - GL with your NT scan on Monday hun!

 

[wannabeprego]

@Want, my next ultrasound is this coming Friday on 01/18 and I have a prenatal counseling appointment the day before that on 01/17. I am excited about my next ultrasound because I have been told that at 10 weeks the babies will have grown alot and that they can move their arms and legs, and they will be moving around alot. DH was able to get off from work so he will be able to go with me to both appointments so that will be really nice as well!!

@Hold, I am so glad that everything looks alright with your baby and that you got to see the heart beat !!! I am sorry about the vanishing twin though.

@Chase, Welcome to the group!!!!

@Whisper, that is great that your energy is returing so you can be productive and get stuff done!! I think my energy level is improving as well although I am not back to 100% yet, but I think I am getting there!!!

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Hold I'm sorry that your ovaries are still enlarged. I hope the swelling goes down soon. Im glad you get to see your baby sooner.

Wanna good luck on your scan. Yes you get to see your babies move around its so beautiful.

Sandoval I'm glad your baby is doing fine. Yay to 12 weeks! It has been a long road.

I made my first baby purchases yesterday, I bought some super cute baby stuff at really great prices!!! I posted pics and the details in my journal if anyone wants to take a peek!! The link to my journal is in my signature!!!

I also bought an Angel Sounds doppler so that I can hear the twins heart beats!! The one I bought was pretty neat because it can record the sounds to my computer so I can share them with friends and family.

I hope all of you lovely ladies are having a wonderful weekend!!!!

[HappyBunnyAB]

Wanna those are really cute. I've been thinking about a Doppler I just haven't really research it. Let me know how you like it.

 

[want2conceive]

wanna - Your next ultrasound is on my anniversary! Also, had a couple questions about the angel sounds doppler you bought. Is the heartbeat sound simular to the one from an ultrasound or is it much clearer? And how much did it cost?

This is a link to the Angel Sounds Doppler I got. I got mine off of Amazon.

I haven't gotten it in the mail yet, so I can't give you my opinion on whether I like it or not yet, but one of my friends on the boards says she has it and it worked good for her and it got good reviews so hopefully it will be good!! I like that DH can listen with me because it comes with 2 head sets and that I can record the sounds to my computer and share it with family and friends!!

@Happy, I will be sure to let you girls know how I like the doppler once I get it!!!

Quick question girls, For those of you that were on the vaginal progesterone cream inserts how long did you have to stay on them. Was it 10 weeks or 12 weeks? I was just wondering becausemy fertility office said until 10 weeks and the other OB I was seeing said 12 weeks. The progesterone costs me about $208.00 so if I can stop at 10 weeks and not buy another box I would prefer that.

 

[HappyBunnyAB]

Wanna I was told to stop at 10 weeks and I stopped a few days before. I'm glad they stopped me by 10 weeks because it costing me $137 per week.

Thanks for the info hun. I think I will double check with the fertility office and if they are still saying it is okay I will stop at 10 weeks than go ahead and do so. It would be nice to save my $208.00 bucks if I can avoid getting another box of the progesterone cream.

 

[ChaseThisLite]

I'm not exactly sure what meds Reba was taking, but they had her cut the dosage in half for weeks 8 & 9 and then half again for weeks 10 & 11. I was happy because it saved me $

How is everyone doing? For the past 3 days I have had the worst headache ever! I have been reluctant to take anything for it, but last night gave in and took 2 paracetemol as my doctor said this would be fine. It didn't even do anything, headache STILL here! Have any of you experienced headaches since becoming pregnant? I did around 7 weeks but since then, nothing. I'm drinking loads of water and hoping it shifts on its own

Wow, those suppositories are really expensive! I did a hcg booster injection for early pregnancy support, something to do with my protocol not needing progesterone support. So glad I didn't need to fork out for suppositories - ivf is so expensive!! (but worth it)
