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

[MrsC8776]

Thanks MrsC - I am planning to test again tomorrow with FMU, that is if I get a chance to buy more tests. And tests are not cheap where I live. I hope I can see a darker line if I test tomorrow.

Here's a pic of my test. What do you ladies make of it.

I see a line for sure! Congrats!! Fx for a darker line tomorrow.

Hey ladies. Just read 8 pages of posts. It's been hard to keep up on my phone.

Stinas- I'm so so sorry, love. Ill text u in a few!!

Swepa- so sorry

Honey- congratulations!! Looks positive to me!!

Want- don't stress. I have a tiny hematoma and I spot randomly. My Dr said that irritation could cause slightly larger ones to bleed. The u/s could have caused that. Don't worry (I know you still will lol).

Sorry if I missed anyone- trying to keep up.

AFM- still no power getting very cold at night. I've been spending the days at my parents house as they got their power back yesterday. Hopefully soon!!! Not sure when I'll be going back to work. Our school was devastated by the storm. Roof came off... We will see.

So sorry to hear about the school. That sounds horrible. Hopefully you get your power back soon and they let you know what is going to happen with work. Would they just transfer you if the school will be closed for a long time or how would that work?

Jenn~ I hope your appointment goes well today.

Ladies who had their FET yesterday I hope it went well!

Stinas~ How are you doing? I'm patiently waiting for you to test.

michelle~ How are you doing?

MoBabby~ Are you getting excited for your FET in less than 2 weeks?!?! I'm excited for you.

 

[MoBaby]

I am!! I'm waiting for my lining check!! I'm still on AF , CD 6 as AF has been weird.. I'm assuming due to the provera so hopefully that doesn't affect my lining so I'm just waiting Gl at your appt tomorrow!!

Stinas: im waiting also fx for you!!

 

[michelle01]

Hi MrsC! I am doing good, still on lupron waiting for AF to arrive. How are you doing?

Stinas - I am sorry about your dog I work with min pin rescue and have been through a few of my own losses; it is never easy. We actually lost 2 of ours back in June 12 days apart. I have a lot of min pins, but still each one is special in their own way.

Swepa - Sorry Hawaii sounds amazing; go, enjoy and relax!

Hope everyone else is doing good!

 

[Lindsay18]

Mrs C. - not sure. I guess it depends how many classrooms are affected. We will have to wait and see lol.

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hi All. . .I hope you are doing ok.

NJ and NY ladies, how are you all doing? Lindsay, that's horrible about your school! Hopefully there wasn't TOO much damage! How is everyone else doing out there? Power or no power, damage?

Jenn, how was your appointment?

MrsC, is yours today or tomorrow?

How did the FETs go yesterday?

I got a call from my RE's office yesterday saying that before I can get started with my DE cycle I need to go in to see my ob for a pap and physical. I wish they had told me this before (since they have all my records) because I then had to call my ob and BEG her to squeeze me in next week because I would like to get started on my next cycle which should start the week after. UGH!! Thankfully she will stay late for me next Wednesday so I can get in to see her. I am frustrated because I honestly feel like I am jumping through hoops. Sigh, ah well.

I'm hanging in there. Trying to fight this 4 day headache and sore throat.

Tomorrow Sorry to hear you are having to jump through hoops right now. I know how frustrating that can be. Hang in there because this will all be worth it in the end. Great news you were able to get in next week for your exams.

 

[Jenn76]

Hey Jenn I'm good thanks. Are they going to use a Doppler to hear the heartbeats? How exciting! Let us know how it goes!

Xx

Yes she used a Doppler, it was amazing how fast she found each baby.

So sorry to hear you are still without power and that your school is damaged bad. Any idea how long before they can restore power? That really must suck!

That's great that she is fitting you in, sorry to hear you need to have the tests again. FX everything works out and your cycle starts on schedule.

MrsC: Good luck at your appointment tomorrow.

Bubu & Not: Hoping yesterday went well.

I hope the other jersey girls are okay, worried about you guys.

AFM: Appointment went well, babies HB's were good. She shocked me by saying that I should expect pregnant with twins to be off at 24 weeks on bed rest. Not expecting that at all! I intended on working until March. Not happy about that. Any other twin preggo ladies get told something similar?

 

[TwoRdue]

Jenn - I was told I would of had to from 26 weeks on... but im sure it depends on the type of pregnancy, if you are fine then I dont see why you could not continue. are they identical twins or fraternal? That can make a difference

MrsC Good luck with your appointment tomorrow

Mo _ Hope that your scan goes well and the lining is nice and thick

 

[MrsC8776]

AFM: Appointment went well, babies HB's were good. She shocked me by saying that she puts anyone pregnant with twins off at 24 weeks on bed rest no matter how you are doing. Not expecting that at all! I intended on working until March and that means I'm out the end of December. Not happy about that. Any other twin preggo ladies get told something similar?

I was not told this. When I asked about her views on bed rest she said that it's a last resort type of thing. 24 weeks seems a little extreme to me. Have you been over to the twin section yet? If not you should venture over there and ask the other ladies their thoughts. I'm 19 almost 20 weeks and I couldn't imagine being on bed rest so soon. I'm glad your appointment went well though.

 

[MoBaby]

Jenn that makes no sense at all. I've seen ppl with twins work until 36 wks. No reason unless you show signs of cervical incompetence or preterm labor or other issues.maybe you can get ob to let you go until 30?

 

[Jenn76]

Two: They are fraternal.

I googled the bed rest thing and apparently with some doctors it is routine to put you off at 24 weeks. I'm torn about pushing this. I absolutely love working so I think I'd lose my mine being off for three months. But I also want to do what is best for the babies. Going to wait and see what she has to say next appointment. Thanks for the input. Glad to hear I'm not the only one to think this is crazy.

 

[almosthere]

I think I would go crazy being on bed rest for the long!!! hope it won't be the case for all with twins!!

Just popping in to say hello-hope there was not too much damage to your school Lindsay-how horrid this storm was to all nj/new yorkers!

I hope everyone else is doing well....can't wait for your beta honey!!!

 

[TwoRdue]

Oh wow I thought they would only do that if there was a need to, well I hope that is not the case and you are able to work on to when you want to...

 

[MoBaby]

Bubu: how did the transfer go?

Not: you transferred as well right?? how did it go??
GL girls!!

 

[drsquid]

jenn- i think that sounds crazy too... get a second opinion. bed rest is not totally innocuous either (risk of blood clots, deconditioning etc).

bomo- *hugs* pita. glad your ob could squeeze you in!!

 

[azlissie]

Bomo, it does seem like they're just dreaming up extra stuff to make you do - why does this whole process have to be so stressful and frustrating? It's great that you have such an accommodating OB - I hope this will be the last hurdle.

Lindsay, that is such a bummer about your school! Will they have to add on missed days to the end of the school year? I live in AZ and we never have no-school days for weather related stuff so I don't really know how that works.

Michelle, hope the lupron is treating you well.

Getting, how are things going with your little bean? Any upcoming scans?

Jenn, so glad you had a great appointment! The bed rest thing seems extreme - isn't that why they do stuff like measure cervical length? Surely there are women who need the bed rest and then others who just don't. Hope you can figure out what to do.

MrsC, good luck with the appt tomorrow! It sounds like you'll have a long day but it's great that your DH is still here so he can go.

AFM, feeling pretty bloated and I've still got 2 nights of Clomid - blah. My RE said I don't need to worry about it thinning the lining but it was only 7mm at the last IUI and I just think it should be thicker. So since he's no help I turned to Dr Google and read drink lots of water and take baby aspirin. Guess I'll try it and see what happens!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!

 

[Stinas]

Swepakepa3 -

Honey -

MrsC - I hope everything goes well!! I hope you are enjoying all your time with DH!

AFM - Still no power! Getting angry....i know i am lucky to have everything, but its starting to get cold and its just frustrating. I like things certain ways and everything is upside down...im just annoyed. Im wearing two pairs of socks right now and still cold. I have the generator, but gas lines are beyond pathetic, so we are using it wisely. I went to work 3hrs early today lol Ill be spending a lot of time there this weekend....more than normal. lol
As for testing....I kind of did this afternoon, but not counting it. It was second pee, but didnt really have to go, so like 3 drops went on the stick....BFN of course, but its still upsetting. I am not going to count it, but still. I really hope this works ladies...im scared. Im cramping and boobs hurt, I didnt have this fresh cycle. I really dont want to start at square one again. Really freaked out. Lots of prayers needed. I am probably going to test before I go in for the blood test in the am. I hope I get surprised.

Hope everyone is doing well! xoxo

I have everything crossed for you. Keeping you in my thoughts that this is it and you don't have to start all over. I'm sure the no power thing is getting old and irritating. I can't wait to get on here in the morning and see what the results are. I'm a few hours behind you though.

 

[Pink gerbera]

Hey ladies

Jenn I'm glad the appt went well and you got to hear the heartbeats. I agree with the other ladies 24 weeks does seem very soon! I guess when you get to 24 weeks and if you still feel great you could argue the case!

Mrs C - I hope your appt goes well today

Have a great day everyone.

Pink xx

 

[Pink gerbera]

Sorry I missed you stinas - I'm sorry you tested and got bfn. I have everything crossed for you.
