yay! been waiting for you scan!!

congrats girls on all your lovely scans today!
 
Lulu - congrats on your twins!

I'm going to bed since I'm exhausted! I don't know if it's from the lupron but I'm just so tired so I'm off to bed. I just wanted to say, thanks to the girls who suggested to ice the spot where I was going to do the injection. I did that tonight and didn't feel a thing, not even the needle going in! You girls are awesome and thanks again for the advice!
 
Had to have another beta test today from doc due to more bleeding and at 27dpo my levels are 15500 :) and more blood's in the morning for the ivf clinic
 
lulu- congrats

bomo- i have had about 200mg of caffeine everyday since i cut back from about 1000 a day in november. i also drink diet soda.. while it is hard to have so little control over outcomes, stressing over stuff wont help either (not saying that is what you are doing,, just in general). a cup of tea, caffeine or no will not do anything either way. fingers crossed for you

afm- got my full amnio results today and all clear. yay
 
Ok ladies finally all settled in after picking up hubby. I hope I can catch up with everyone.

Ladies, I am back from my scan... The baby is measuring 10w5d (couple days ahead) and was moving a lot today.. The doctor was so nice today and zoomed all the views and showed me the head, nose, eyes, arms etc... It was the coolest thing ever!!
Oh, and he also said that the other sac is completely reabsorbed and there is no trace of it which is a good thing as I was worried if that would affect the other baby.. I have my OB appointment next week and NT scan on 24th Oct... After that OB will want to see me every 4 weeks... We have been spoilt with so many scans.. Waiting for 4 weeks is going to be interesting!

I'm so glad everything looked great! The 24th will be here in no time.

Hi all, I'm sure this is a silly question but after all I've gone through to make this work I don't want to do anything to hurt my chances now that they have done the transfer. Can I drink tea (decaf) while waiting until next week? I know caffeine is a no no but what about decaf? Thank you!!

I'm drinking half caff coffee. It's under 200mg so it should be ok. decaf tea/coffee is ok during pregnancy.

Want - delighted everything was looking so good!! :D

Afm, all looking great also!! :D Just one baby in there... (dh was very relieved!:haha:) All measuring as expected. The nurse said she could see the beginnings of the heartbeat flicker but we couldn't make it out. Back in 2 weeks for 8 week scan.

Nurse wasn't even slightly concerned about the spotting. She said as long as its not very prolonged or accompanied by a lot of pain then there's absolutely nothing to worry about :thumbup:

Yay for a great scan! Can't wait to hear how your next one goes.

Want and Broody: Glad to hear both your scans went well. :happydance:

BOMO: Even pregnant you can drink some caffeine, 220 mg I think a day. I drank about 10 oz of coffee all through my TWW and early pregnancy. I was told to stay away from sweeteners and diet pop or drinks.

AFM: My scan went well both babies look great and were given low chances of any chromosomal abnormalities. My OB had said I would be getting scans every four weeks because of my age and twins but the doctor in the fetal assessment unit said she didn't see any need for increased scans until after 20 weeks. :( So it looks like I'm not seeing them again for 7 to 8 weeks. :cry: Hopefully my OB will do one at my next appointment.

Great news about the low chance of chromosome abnormalities. Hopefully they can squeeze in some more scans for you.

yay for great scans ladies!!

afm a very stressful day-my preschool found out we have strep and fifths disease going around so left work 2 hours early to get a strep test and a blood test....find out if I have strep by tomorrow morning and fiftyhs disease by thursday....FX no fifths as it can be spread to the fetus and cause miscairage :(

That doesn't sound like any fun at all. I hope you are in the clear for everything.

Want and broody ~ Congrats on the great scans!!

We just came back from our scan and you guys were right.. We're having TWINS!!!! I am super excited!

Congrats on the twins! You bring our count to 12!

lulu- congrats

Wonderful news!
 
Want and Jenn, so glad to hear your scans went well today!!

Getting, your little one looks great! Congrats!

Lulu, congrats on the twins!! Very exciting.

Bomo, I kind of look at it like Drs - women drink caffeine before they find out they're pregnant all the time and go on to have happy, healthy babies so it's probably okay to have some decaf tea.

Almost, hope your tests come back negative!

MrsC, I'm so glad your hubby is home and you can still do your gender scan this week. Can't wait to hear your results - I'm guessing two boys :-)

AFM, had my 5th IUI today and I have to admit I feel like it was a huge waste of time. I really wanted to keep trying and doing something between now and when I can do another IVF but now I think it was dumb and I should have saved my money. I had 4 ripe follies and 32 million sperm with 46% motility so theoretically my chances should be decent but I'm just not feeling it.

Hello to everyone else - hope you're all doing well!
 
Lulu - amazing news congratulations!!

Jenn - glad the chances chromosome abnormalities are low :)

Almost - I hope everything is ok. Try not to stress though, I'm sure it'll be fine :)

Mrs C - hooray for getting your hubby back! Was he surprised how much your bumb had grown???

AFM - slept well last night so feeling human again! Hooray :)

Have a great day everyone xx
 
And ... hot from the press.... second test this morning : :bfn:
We still have our two :cold: ... I have no idea why this isn't working. Really thought that the main hurdle (my DH's sterility) was behind us. We finally had what was a nice blast ... Don't really know what else to do, since apparently, everything is fine with me - so why isn't it nestling in?! :(

Have now asked that DH and I make an appt. together (TBH, I am quite tired of always going on my own to all appointments and asking the questions he has / not thinking of questions until I have left) and somehow I feel like I am on a merry-go-round without a destination (how would there be? it goes in circles) ... so that we can be advised together.

How am I feeling? Bit at a loss.
 
Bubu - I'm sorry to hear that, it's such a hard process to go through and when you get the BFN its the worse feeling. I do hope you get that BFP and it will all be worth every momebt. Best of luck hun.x
 
bubu= im so so sorry. this totally sucks that you keep going through this. it really sounded good this time and im not much of a believer in symptom spotting
