IVF until we all get our bfp! 2012-present *13 w/twins & 1 w/triplets!*

[Jenn76]

Almost: Unfortunately the JLo comment is a religious belief. My DH is catholic and his religion feels that way. Neither of us follow any religion at this point in our lives. He told me his family wouldn't support us doing IVF it angered me so much since our issue is male factor. I confronted his dad on it because if it were true I didn't want his family in our children's lives. In actuality they all supported us and my DH was wrong. They actually all prayed it would work for us. I strongly feel that I am meant to be a mom and I am proud to tell people we did IVF. Screw them if they don't agree.

Want: I'm still waiting to hear from my OBGYN I do have my NT scan scheduled but that was arranged by my clinic. I was referred to the OBGYN almost 4 weeks ago and no peep. I tried calling them and got a rude don't call us we will call you response. I'm assuming they will go over a plan with you on how often you will have scans and appointments. I can't wait to hear about yours. Good Luck.

Can't believe that about JLo silly woman!!!

I'm meeting with the midwife on Wednesday

To the pregnant ladies - totally random question but do you still get pangs of panic that its all gonna fall apart?? I'm not feeling different or anything I'm just scared I guess. Maybe it's the tiredness getting to me!!!

Pink xx

Good luck on Wednesday! I am always nervous about this pregnancy. I had a dream I went to my next scan and one sack was empty. I'm hoping after the next scan I will feel more at ease but probably not. Lol!

pink- i worry all the time-it is natural!! even when baby is born i am sure we will always hope baby is healthy!!

and it is def. a religious view I agree-DH parents are catholic and mine at christian-but I feel they will still be very supportive!!

I have a fun british movie I am watching on instant q on netflix-maybe baby it is a comedy about infertility-i would highly recommend it for a good laugh!

Morning everyone, I hope you are all having terrific weekends! My niece shared her cold with me so I've been taking it easy. I just got done with my ultrasound. My follicles are 10, 12, 12.5, 15.5, 17.5, 18, 18.5, 18.5 and 3 smaller than that. I will find out this afternoon if I trigger or not.

Pink - I don't think the worry ever goes away... I got a scan last week but I am already feeling it's been so long and if everything is alright... I don't have morning sickness so I keep poking my boobs to check if they are still sore

I know some religions believe that IVF is you going against god's will.... I do not believe in it... If that was the case we don't need medical science... If a person get's a heart attack why rush him to the hospital ... God wants him to die... you know? Why chemo for cancer patients? Why do people not understand that infertility is a type of abnormality which needs to be treated in order to give people like us a chance to start a family... I could go on this forever since I really get pissed at people who are so insensitive to the topic of infertility.
Anyway, rant over!

Hope you ladies are having a good weekend...
I have my first OB-GYN appointment tomorrow... I have no idea what to expect... She said there would be no ultrasound.. Can you ladies tell me how your first appointment was like?

Usually there is just a ton of questions. Some about your health, genetics from both sides and how you are feeling. Depending on when your last exam was you might get a pap. If you have any concerns or questions thats the time to ask them. My first appointment I had a scan because of the twins but the actual appointment was very boring. Oh they might also ask you if you want to do the NT testing if not you should bring it up. Thats the test that is done for downs and other things. I hope that helps a little.

Thanks for the wonderful response.. That definitely helps!! How are you feeling and when is your next scan?

hello ladies, i'm back... starting my second round of IVF.... question b/c of the chemical pregnancy and all i wasn't sure when the first day of my period was... according to my 28 day cycle if i consider my first day of bleed is due tomorrw... and i have a ultrasound scheduled for wednesday, my supposive day 3, now here's the question I have no signs that aunt flow will be arriving tomorrow. I usually can tell 3-4 days in advance, should i call the MD tomorrow and reschedule the ultrasound?

Welcome back! Fx this one will be your sticky one. I would call them tomorrow if AF doesn't show up. They may want to reschedule your scan or still have you come in so they can see whats going on. Let us know how it goes.

I am doing good.. but yes hungry a lot more than usual... I now eat more than my DH at times and it's embarrasing at times

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

praying4 - yay you got to see yours, I wont get to till about 7 weeks

Once you do....its a feeling like no other!!!!! I cant wait for the 10th to go back for my second scan

 

[almosthere]

welcome back swepka!!

bomo-congrats on possibly triggering tonight, woohoo!

wow lots happened since I was watching maybe baby which I was not 100% thrilled with the ending, lol.....but anywho, glad everyone is doing well and that so many ladies are getting closer and closer to their ivf bfps!! yay!!

 

[almosthere]

oh and prayin-congrats on your wonderful scan! I do not get to have my first until 7 weeks preg.....

question for all ladies-when will you be contacting your regular obgyn with the news?! I was thinking I mine as well wait until after my first scan with my FS-when would i see my obgyn though? hmm debating if I should call sometime this week to book a 8 month apt? no idea how this all works!

 

[GettingBroody]

BOMO - great follie numbers! Fx'd for triggering tonight!

Swepa - welcome back! Hope this cycle does the trick for you! I agree, ring your FS tomor if there's no sign of af and see what they say...

Want - good luck tomor!

Prayin - yay again! Not sure about the progesterone - I think your dr uses different units of measurement to mine...

Was curious about the Jennifer Lopez thing so I went and read the interview... In her defence I think she meant that she didnt believe ivf was for her - not that she was against it for everyone. I think she phrased what she said very badly though...

When did you ladies make your ob/gyn appointments or go see your regular doctors after your bfps? Wondering if I should ring tomorrow or wait until after the scan next week...?

 

[GettingBroody]

Almost - seems like we crossed posts and asked the exact same question!!
