IVF Oct/Nov/Dec BFP Announcement & 9month term thread!

[Whisper82]

Hey all! Scan went well today. Only hiccup was that for some reason they didn't realize it needed to be a twin ultrasound, which takes longer. So we had to wait quite a long time in the office so they would have time to take a good look at both babies. So far so good and we learned the genders!

Spoiler

Two girls!!!! We are stunned. We both thought from the beginning it would probably be two boys because there are almost all boys in DH's family line. We are super excited, though we do have to start over with the whole name picking thing. We had two awesome boy names, but no girl names have really stuck out to us yet. Here are some pics including both faces and shots of how they determined the genders. Ultrasound tech said it looks super clear to her that they are both girls.

Hello everyone, I can't believe I'm 18 weeks today! I'm half way thru since the dr said I'll probably only make it to 36 weeks. We bought some baby clothes over the weekend. I'll be having cervix u/s every two weeks and next week I get to have another u/s to see how my hematoma is doing. I did blood work yesterday and they took 22 vials. I hope they can finally tell me what's wrong with me.

Fingers crossed that your hematoma is going away and getting better!!! I hope that all of the blood they drew can help figure out what is going on and that your health improves so you can come off of bed rest.

Thank you wanna. I do enjoy being home but I wanted to use some of the time till after the twins are born. I just pray is nothing bad.

 

[sandoval_star]

Stay positive Happy and know that you're doing everything possible to make sure your babies are healthy and comfortable. Hopefully wont be long before you're up and around a bit more x

Congrats, Whisper! That means wannabe is going to have to have two boys to balance you!

 

[Whisper82]

Wow, Whisper! So cool! Congrats on being team pink!

Thanks Lotus! I was stalking the other day and saw that you are PUPO! Congrats! I will be stalking and rooting for you!

Yes it sounds like we have a set of boy and girl twins and a set of girl twins, so to balance the universe, we would need a set of boys.

Happy - hope they can figure it out and get you on your way to staying healthy and getting active again.

Whisper - Congrat's on team pink x2!

As for me - haven't had time to be on here much as we have been busy decluttering the house, getting baby stuff and planning a shower. DH did surprise me on Valentine's Day with P!nk concert tickets for this Sunday! I can't wait! Taking a pillow to help cushion my seat. I do have one worry. Anyone know if they have the wand metal detectors at entrance if they wand the belly if your pregnant and if it's dangerous for my baby?

 

[michelle01]

YAY Whisper, how amazing I had it all wrong I am so excited for you and DH We were able to pick out a girl name immediately, we don't have a boys name and when I was pg with DS, we picked his name out a few days before he was born. We just could never agree.

want - What a great surprise from DH; enjoy the concert I don't know about the wands; maybe call your OB and ask?

Hope everyone else is doing good! Happy Friday!

 

[Whisper82]

Want - It might be rather unpleasant, but perhaps you could request a pat-down in lieu of the metal detector? Most concerts I've been to here out west will do a pat-down. But maybe the metal detector is not harmful. I'm afraid I don't know.

LOL, DH would be absolutely thrilled if we were having 2 boys!!! I read your posts to him and he was happy that you guys were thinking that. LOL


I won't find out the genders until my next regular OB appointment on 03/11 or I will for sure know at my 03/15 level 2 ultrasound. The suspense is killing me and I am so excited to find out, but time seems to be dragging by so slow right now.

 

[sandoval_star]

Want, I remember reading about the wand detectors they use at airports and also the ones you walk through. Apparently they are totally safe as they do not radiate anything into your body. Enjoy the concert!

 

[want2conceive]

Sand - thanks for the wand detector info. I really love P!nk, and knew she was going to be in town but since DH is only one working and we are watching our spending I didn't even think about getting tickets. Was a big surprise when DH surprised me with tickets. He had been keeping them a secret since October apparently. Can't wait till the show tomorrow!


Wanna - hope you get team blue x2 like you want.

Whisper - hope your feeling better. Have you felt baby move yet? I felt him move a couple times but only a very light move feeling. Maybe he will move or kick when we are at the concert with the load music.

 

[Whisper82]

Wanna - Its so hard waiting to hear the genders! I know what you're saying.

Want - Yes I've been feeling a decent bit of movement over the past week. Isn't it so cool? And kind of comforting I think. Your little guy will come out loving Pink! May as well get his taste in music set early on.

Happy - Any news on your blood tests yet?

AFM - I am in San Francisco! DH and I will be here a few days and then we will head down the coast to Santa Cruz/San Jose. Today we went to see a Redwood forest before heading in to the city. So excited to have a week of relaxation!

No updates yet. I have another u/s on Tuesday with the specialist my next OB appt is march 7th. They told me the results would take about 10 days.

I'm glad you are having a great time. I love San Francisco! They have a farmers market on Saturdays by the embarcadero and I love going to it. I was just telling my husband about going to it but since I'm on bed rest I doubt the dr will let me go. Enjoy your week!

 

[wannabeprego]

@Whisper, It sounds like you are having a lovely vacation. I hope you continue to have a lovely time with your DH!!!

AFM, I just dropped my DH off at the airport and he has to go out of state for a two week training class for his job, so I am going to miss him. Hopefully the two weeks will go by fast though and he will be back home before I know it. Looking on the bright side he will get some extra money from the travel expense reimbursement so we can always use some extra money of course.

My sister bought us a lot of nice gifts for the twins and we also bought our two cribs on Friday. I posted pics of some of the stuff we got in my journal if anyone wants to take a peek. Here is a link to my journal page with the stuff we got.
