Hey Angie!!!

 

[GettingBroody]

Jenn - so sorry you had such a worrying day but delighted it ended well and you got to see 2 bouncing babies!!

Lindsay - what a great idea!! Have fun celebrating with everyone!

BOMO - I found the day before the transfer to be the most stressful of all. I was so worried nothing would survive to transfer but we made it and so will you!!

Angie - great news!! Happy triggering!!

Want - happy birthday!! We haven't bd'd since the bfp either but maybe after the scan on Tuesday we'll be a bit braver...!

 

[Pink gerbera]

Never - great news Fingers crossed!!

Lindsay - cute way to tell people!

Want - I haven't had sex either. Like you say it's taken so much to get here, I'm just really anxious. I think once I'm out of the first trimester we will again. I'm dreaming about it every night though so feels like I am doing it!!

Pink xx

Wow 6 new pages to read since yesterday!

Just popping in real quick to let you all know that I will be triggering tonight at 9:30 pm and egg retreival is set for 7:00am Sunday morning.

Looks like I have 11 follicles at 20mm and 3 smaller ones. I am so excited.

I think my husband may have fixed our computer at home so I can go back and see what you all have written when I get home.

Prayers and Blessings,
~Angie

Good luck tomorrow Angie! I hope they get lots of eggies!

Dear preggo ladies, this might seem like a weird question but I am going to ask anyway... Are you gals having sex since your BFP... I am scared to death to do anything but I asked my RE and he said it was okay but I am still terrified. I know the baby is well protected but I just don't wanna do anything to mess this up... Thoughts please?

No BD happening here. I just stopped my progesterone on Wednesday, I was on the vaginal suppositories. TMI Wanrning: They leave a greasy film up there that doesn't go away between doses. Definitely a mood killer. Besides that I have had all day nausea and have now developed a cold. And my DH has recently had surgery and is still recovering from that. I can barely hug him without it hurting.

On top of all that I am nervous as is DH about it. I know others on b&b have been told to refrain. I think we will wait out the first tri and then see. However I know that it is safe and many do it without any issues or being asked to refrain.

Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoy your day!

On the Bump talk: Sorry to have sparked such a debate. I've always struggled with my weight. Up and down my whole adult life. I've always heard that people with excess weight usually put on less with pregnancy then someone without the excess weight. Probably because you tend to eat healthier and smaller portions more frequently in pregnancy. One of the main reason I struggled is from when I worked in retail. I never ate at work, too busy, so I would eat large meals only twice a day at varying hours. That plus snacking on junk food from the vending machine at work. All not good for your metabolism.

Now I eat healthy food all throughout the day and I'm probably gaining baby and losing fat so no noticeable increase in bump. I'm just looking forward to looking pregnant with a round firm belly.

Mrs, and Dr I saw your bump pics in MrsC's journal looking great! I really think it depends on the person. My friend is verrrrry thin and it took 5 months for her to show. But then another girl I know just as skinny popped at 8 weeks. Same goes with the opposite.

Angie!! How exciting I hope that your trigger went well and I will be thinking of you for ER.

So many ladies to think of tomorrow
Happy weekend everyone!

Concerning bd-ing - has nothing to do with being or not being pg ... but... we haven't done it for so long While I was stimming, I was too sore to (and DH is not allowed to a few days before ER anyway), then after - ditto ... plus, I hate the stuff that remains all gooey in the vagina from the progesterone ... I find it all icky and ughhh ... so I have had nice sex dreams too. I think I would be fine with it once I have stopped using the progesterone (hoping that the blood test gives us the result we want)...

 

[Pink gerbera]

Hey ladies

Just to let you knowi caved and paid for a private scan. It was perfect! Both babies measuring 10 weeks exactly. Both had really strong heartbeats so feeling good

Can't wait for the next scan now xxx

 

[GettingBroody]

Pink, that is fantastic news!!! Delighted all looking so well!

 

[Lindsay18]

Thanks everyone

Pink- that's awesome!! I'm so glad you went for it and got amazing results

As far as DTD- we haven't since I started stimming. Like Bubu said I was so sore etc and then the progesterone suppositories etc. He is afraid to mess anything up lol and I guess I am a little too. I'm not sure if we will right out of the first trimester. We will just have to see.

 

[almosthere]

Lindsay I am LOVING that idea!!!

Angie-fantastic, GL with ER!!!!

AFM feeling horrid, very sick with a cold, phlem, sore throat, and extreme exauhstion =(

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hey Angie!!!

That was supposed to be "yay Angie" not hey. . I'm so excited to hear how many eggs they get!

 

[MoBaby]

Bubu goof luck tomorrow!!! Pink that's awesome

I'm at work today "on call" but now I'm here and cover until 1pm... It's the first time I had to work this shift.. It's slow an I'm bored already! I'll just be reading the boards...37 days until my et (hopefully)

 

[never2late70]

Good morning! Thank you all!

Trigger went well. I had to have my daughter come over and give it to me though because I couldn't figure out how to hold the needle steady while twisting my body to inject in my hip/butt..
I tossed and turned all night. I am a nervous wreck for tomorrow morning. I had nightmares of the lab dropping my eggs and my husband missing the cup for his sample. It's crazy what the mind can put you through..

BUBU do you test tomorrow?

Prayers and Blessings,
~Angie

Is it normal to still be sore three days after ER? I wasn't this sore last time. There were more eggs this time but I don't know if that makes a difference.

 

[Lindsay18]

Bomo- I was sore for several days.

 

[TwoRdue]

Yea I was sore and swollen for a long time and was told it was due to 18 eggs been collected so it sure does affect it as everything is now having to srink back down.

Never - Did you have to do your trigger in you butt? Mine was in my tummy...

 

[Pink gerbera]

BOMO I was sore for about 5 days. I still felt delicate after the transfer xx

 

[almosthere]

I just felt heavy/full in my ovaries, and crampy about 3 days before and 3 days after ER.

 

[almosthere]

i also had a 1.5in needle trigger in my tummy...no tushka for me!! LOL

Glad to hear you got to see your beans! How often will you get scans that are covered?

Lindsay I am LOVING that idea!!!

I have the same thing, plus headache and nausea. Fun times! Hope you feel better soon.

I worried about the same things, Lol! I would imagine they are very careful with all eggs and embryos that would be quite the law suit if they dropped them. Things will be great, you will get lots of eggs.

Is it normal to still be sore three days after ER? I wasn't this sore last time. There were more eggs this time but I don't know if that makes a difference.

I was sore for three days, and I only had four eggs. I did return to work the next day so that probably added to the pain.
