Great news! If you want the NT testing done make sure to mention it so that they can schedule you for that. It's usually done around 12 weeks.

Edit: Just remembered you are having twins. The scan and first set of blood work should be ok but in all honestly I would try to avoid the second set of testing.

 

[Pink gerbera]

Getting that's great news! Can't wait to hear how you get one!

Jenn thanks I'm good. Starting to feel better so enjoying my second trimester. Still get tired but its no way near as bad as before

Xx

heh.. last night i was thinking how much i liked being pregnant... today not so much.. cranky etc. i am totally paranoid about my cervix (cause i had a leep) even though it has been totally normal. i think ive been getting a lot of braxton hicks, plus since i mentioned the lightening bolt vag pains yesterday online i started getting them again. thank goodness i could get it check at work today and it is over 3 so... all good. you know you are cranky when the babies kicking gets annoying. it doesnt even hurt yet but... plus boy is cramming his head into my ribs already.

 

[MoBaby]

Ladies transfer was great!!! Embryo looked like it had never been frozen and was perfect!! And it started to hatch after thaw!!!! It had hatched more from the time the embryologist talked to me to when they transferred it (about 30 min time frame).. My dr was great and we all were joking around before the transfer and talking about thanksgiving.... I'm leaving here in about 30mins.. Pic of baby later.... Dr also said I could go back to normal activities when I leave here if I wanted to. He said they only restrict activities due to ovarian enlargement and since I didn't stim there is no risk. But I'm going to take it easy and lie around all weekend and not do much. I'm excited! He said implantation should start by tomorrow b/c it's hatched!!!!!!

 

[drsquid]

mo = yay congrats. being lazy is always fun =)

 

[Pink gerbera]

Mo Yey fingers crossed! Watch a funny movie, I heard laughing helps with implantation and even if it doesn't it makes you feel good

Xx

 

[michelle01]

YAY Mobaby...how awesome

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hello All! Sorry for the lack of responses lately, I have been crazy busy trying to get report cards done, figuring out financing, and having meetings EVERY day this week. I’m so ready for a short week next week for Thanksgiving! I hope everyone is doing well.

Mo. . . yay, so glad it went well!!

Andrea. . . just like everyone else has said, don’t count yourself out yet!

Azlissie. . . how are you feeling?

Pink and Lindsay. . . Happy week 16!

Broody. . . yay for getting in! GL at your scan!

Drs. . . I’m sorry you aren’t feeling it today.

Michelle. . . wow, 20 is great! FX your numbers keep rising!

Jenn. . .how are you doing?

Almost. . . I just went to look at your bump picture. . . .SO sweet!

Want. . . yay for gender scan!!

Honey. . . thinking of you and hoping 2013 is your year!

Prayin. . . I’m sorry if I missed it, but did you find out if you have a cyst or if everything is clear to go ahead?

Polly. . . I am SO sorry! Have you looked into donor eggs?

Stinas. . . I literally LOL with your bra comment! I’m so excited for you to get started again. FX the clomid does its job!

MrsC. . . I saw on your journal that hubby is going into work there now. How is that going?

I am REALLY sorry if I missed anyone. I’m trying to get all caught up. ) AFM, I am still trying to figure out the finance piece of my DE cycle. I have a whole new appreciation for the phrase beg, borrow, and steal! I am refinancing my house and applying for a loan for part of it and I think borrowing money from my mom for the other part. I have been pushed back a week which at first disappointed me, but that gives me another week to come up with money so I am ok with it. I started another thread about using donor eggs which is nice, but two of the women on there just had cycles with DE and they both got BFN. Hearing that completely upset me. I think I keep thinking that if I’m not using my crappy eggs it’s going to work. That was a reality check that there is no guaranteeing it will.

Heres the baby pic:

Bomo: wow! That's a lot going on!!! Busy busy!!! I think the stats from DE are pretty good so don't get discouraged reading other stories!!!

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Thank you Mo. . . I'm trying!

LOVE the picture! I'm so excited for you!

I was pretty bitchy yesterday. Hubby kept making cat noises at me. He was trying to be funny but I went from being bitchy to wanting to cry in 30 seconds. Thats just his way of trying to make me smile but I was obviously not in the mood. I hope your day gets better and you have someone who can cheer you up. Are you still working? Maybe a nap would help. That always helps me!

Yay for being PUPO!! Love the pic of your little embie! Fx for you. What is your OTD? EDIT: I see your OTD in your signature.

You have so much going on! I really hope the financing comes through for you. So far everything sounds good! The week set back may seem like a pain but like you said it gives you an extra week to get that money. Hearing about bfn's is always hard. I have a feeling this is going to work for you. With DE do you only get the one shot? I thought with Attain they have a package deal. Is that still offered with DE?

Hubby did manage to go to work in town today. So far so good. Still no word on when he will head back overseas making his normal pay.

 

[michelle01]

BOMO - Wow you have been busy! And at least you have another week to get your finances in order. I wouldn't dwell on others who have had DE; everyone is different!! And I would check to see if they have a packaged deal, like MrsC mentioned.

Mobaby - Great pic

 

[GettingBroody]

Mo - congrats on being PUPO!!!! Love the photo! thats amazing that it was hatching while ye were talking! Nov 30th is aaaages away! When is your PTD?!

BOMO - fx'd you get the money sorted out soon a d can concentrate on the actual cycle!

 

[Stinas]

MrsC - I am hoping the swimmers will come out in a SA, but not holding my breath.....I think they are just hoping it will kick start his production of swimmers to find in TESE. We dont know why he didnt have loads of them in last TESE...there is pretty much no reason what so ever...except for that V vein which could be making the balls too hot and killing the swimmers, BUT we would have found some dead swimmers in last TESE, which we didn't....so who knows whats wrong. All his bloods came out totally normal, no surgeries as a child which could have caused anything, his balls are normal size, hanging normal.....so all of this is just confusing and flat out annoying lol

Honey - I am hoping 2013 is our year!!!

Michele - Yayy!

DrSquid - OMG! My heart goes out to that girl! How horrible!

Andrea -

Mo - YAYYY for PUPO!!!!!! FX!! We need another azoo baby!!!!!!

Lindsay & Pink - Happy 16 weeks!!!

BOMO - Dont get discouraged! DE cycles are successful....everyones bodies are different. Keep your head up, it will work! Plus you have all of us cheering you on!


Thank you all for your support! I love you ladies! I have been busy with work lately so I have not been on much. Plus im in the Christmas spirit and trying to get some of my decorations out when I have some time. Being a busy bee helps me not remember all the TTC crap. Its nice lol
I pray to god this clomid works. I keep dreaming his swimmers will come out normal.....who said we cant dream? lol

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

I have done the package program. . . I get three "fresh" cycles with the DE and unlimited frozen embryos with any that come from the DE cycles. I'm just feeling discouraged. . . I know it will pass. Thank you all for the positive words and encouragement. I had someone I work with ask when I'm going to "call it quits and decide it just isn't going to happen" I know she didn't mean it to be hurtful but I couldn't help but take it that way. I can't give up on something that isn't just something I want or a dream I have. Being a mom is this unexplainable need. I wish I could explain it better, but I can't.
