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

[Lindsay18]

How is everyone doing? Had to speed read what I've missed so far lol. We are FINALLY back in school after 2 weeks of being shut down from the hurricane. Just Teacher's went back to my specific school today for inventory and clean up since the roof blew off the school and there was tons of water damage. They wouldn't let me anywhere near the classrooms so I helped in the office. Students come back tomorrow. Phew!!!

Pretty boring over here. Had a gyno appointment 2 days ago to check in. Nothing exciting lol. Gained 1 pound so far. Got to hear his heartbeat on the Fetal Heart Monitor which I love. Going to start checking out pediatricians soon to get a jump on things. What else is going on with you ladies??

 

[Stinas]

azlissie - yay! Good luck sat!

Mo - Woohooo!! Good luck tom!!

Lindsay - How nice is it getting back to normal? Its nice seeing shorter lines at the gas station. Im tried of all this crazyness. lol Yay for hearing his heartbeat!!

Hope everyone is doing well!!!

Hello ladies! I'm on my phone so can't reply to everyone who answered my OPK question but thanks for your help! Had my scan this afternoon & I have 3 big follies on the right and one on the left. I'm going to do the trigger tonight and then IUI is scheduled for Saturday morning! This will be my 8th medicated attempt so really hoping it works!! If not I'm taking a few months off of this crazy ride. Hope everyone is doing well!

Congrats on triggering! Praying that this is your time.

Glad to hear your school is open again. I hope you didn't lose many vacation days. Hearing the heatbeat is so reassuring between scans. One pound is great, I was up two as of my appointment last week. It's funny how the belly can grow so much early and people not gain weight. I think I'm staring to gain now though.

 

[drsquid]

jealous of the no weight gain people. i gained 10 lbs last month alone. i was up 24 at my 22 week appt/. but im being more careful now. but.. everyone keeps telling me they dont know where it is so... i guess that is good. funny thing about us pics.. cause i know what im looking at i take ones that i think are cute that no one gets. took one last night of B's knee with A's fingers on it (on the other side of the membrane of course) but... you have toknow what you are looking at.. at least it made me smile. still didnt manage to get a look to see what the heck B is doing when he stretches or something on my side.. it is pretty uncomfy so im curious

 

[Pink gerbera]

Az - good luck Got everything crossed for you

Lindsay - wow you've only gained 1 pound!! I dread to think what I have! My tummy has gotten real big although luckily I don't seem to have put weight on anywhere else. That's great you got to hear heartbeat woo hoo we're oranges now!

Have a good day everyone.

Pink xx

 

[GettingBroody]

I had them too. They're not bad. I would smuggle it to the bathroom like a tampon lol. I was asking because I have a spare box that I never used. There are 6 in there if you want them??

Girls, on the same note I have an untouched menopur in my fridge if it's any good to anyone? The government covers our meds so it didn't cost me a penny but it seems a waste to just throw it away... If anyone needs it you are more than welcome to it....?

 

[Lindsay18]

Thanks everyone yay Pink!!! I love oranges haha!!!

 

[almosthere]

yay az you get to relax tonight..big day for you tomorrow, rest up!!!! eeekk!

Do you post the pics? I haven't seen an updated one for a while. I wish I could look at them and make out things. So some people say that having too many ultrasounds aren't good for the babies. I'm guessing that's not true. Right?!

Thanks everyone yay Pink!!! I love oranges haha!!!

Congrats on 15 weeks ladies. I'm an onion which again I picture it as big as an orange but I guess they mean a big onion.

 

[Lindsay18]

Jenn - That's what I would assume LOL a really big onion. What fruit was 16 weeks?

 

[wantbabysoon]

Lindsay - Yay for 15 weeks! And glad you are back to school after all the chaos last week.

Pink - Happy Orange week!

AFM, I had my Obgyn appointment today... got to see the bub and hear the heartbeat... Doctor says everything seems normal except my blood sugar levels are slightly elevated so I may have to start insulin... Not a big fan of more medication but gotta do what is best for the baby!

 

[Lindsay18]

Want - I am very happy to start getting back to normal! UGH - these last 2 weeks were brutal.
Glad you got to see the baby!!! That stinks, but after everything else you've been through, what's a little insulin LOL!!

 

[tiffttc]

Congrats! DrSquid is close to you. I have bad back pain as well. Glad to hear you scan went well.

Lindsay - Yay for 15 weeks! And glad you are back to school after all the chaos last week.

Glad to hear your appointment went well. I had heard that when you have gestational diabetes that they mostly just monitor your diet not use insulin. My test is in 5 weeks, so we shall see. I hope you can avoid insulin, after all the meds we took it's nice to be down to just prenatals.

Oh ok - that's true. I guess they mean a very large onion LOL

Hopefully your blood sugar can get under control. I think it might be best to wait until the GD test.

Congrats on team !! I'm due with twin girls on March 24th but they usually come early so I think we will be due about the same time. Currently 20 weeks soon to be 21 weeks.

 

[drsquid]

tiff- im due march 6 but twins so... feb sometime.

jenn- yeah i havent posted pics in a bit. been lazy. us risk ... well there is controversy. i found a great review article that looked at thousands of studies and concluded no real associated risks (only thing they found was a soft connection with non righthandedness in boys, hearing. growth etc all disproven). doppler can be a risk and i dont use that (it can cause heating.. supposedly home dopplers are different than the ones on us machines but... i avoid doppler). every us tech ive ever spoken to has scanned the crap out of their kids, as have the obs.

meds- handed off my meds to a coworker today. box of crinone, 6 boxes of cetrotide and a 450 box of gonal. her doc told her what it was all worth which i wouldn't have done but whatevs. glad someone i know is using it.,, and when it works i get to feel involved =)

 

[bubumaci]

Congratulations Tiff!

... I so did not want to post today, because it just makes it real... blood test this morning was again negative

Not sure whether we will be able to try again this year - so despite being an utter optimist, I am not a happy bunny

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

I'm SOOOOO sorry bubu! I was so hoping for other results for you!

I'm sorry not to do personals for everyone but I just have a minute before I have to go do a training for the teachers. . . I just had to tell someone I just picked my ED! It ended up not being the person I thought I wanted but I found someone else who was PERFECT for me! I have submitted my request and gotten the gotten the go ahead to start BCP's next week when I get my period. I only had to threaten to go to another clinic to get that done, but ah well. )
