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

[Pink gerbera]

Jenn - glad everything went well for you xx

 

[Lindsay18]

Drs- so you're saying I'm either fat or pushing my belly out... Interesting considering I'm neither and my stomach is hard as a rock. Think it depends on the person.

 

[MrsC8776]

Jenn - have you any reason to think something might be wrong?

AFM - nothing to report (except that I am strangely constantly hungry... can't be anything this early, I know - but even when I have eaten something, I feel the urge to eat some more!) oh - and a dream that I woke from with a scream ... DH was so sweet, put his arms round me and comforted me ... really horrible dream This huge spider was right in front of my face and I woke up throwing my duvet at it, so that it would land far away. Used to have some spider dreams in Australia (being an arachnophobe) but haven't dreamt one in at least a decade! ... aren't vivid dreams meant to be a good sign? .... but hey ... who's SS?
Oh well - two more days and I will get the results (which I am kinda dreading) ... but ... can't change the outcome either way...

Fx for you!! I hate spiders also but that sounds like a very crazy dream. Will you be testing before your beta at all? I have a good feeling for you!

Bubu - fingers crossed !!!

Stinas - yay for getting started !!!

Praying - so sorry

I know there was another person who got a bfn I don remember their name right now and I'm on my phone so it's difficult to go back but to you too!!

Jchic - yay for twins!! That is such a great surprise!'

AFM - 2 more days !!

Not much longer!

Morning All! The nurse just called, I still have 5 good emryos growing away. They have decided to wait and do a day 5 transfer on Monday. I think the fact that they are still growing like they should be is a good thing (I hope it is!).

I hope you all have a WONDERFUL Friday!!

Great news! Will you put one or two back? I always forget who has laws on this.

Bubu: hungry is good. Sorry about the bad dream, I hate spiders!

Ash: Yeah for only two more days!

Thanks ladies for all the concerns! It turns out I was just being paranoid. It started a couple days ago when I was having mild pain shooting up my abdomin, it just worried me but it wasn't horrible pain. Then yesterday I had a coworker show me the bump pictures of her friend that had twins. The first picture was at 12w2d and she had a profound bump. Mine is barely larger then before IVF. I started thinking that my babies weren't progressing. I've been trying to find the babies heatbeats with my Doppler and still haven't. So it was all adding up on me. Then I started thinking last night about how the hospital called me on Wednesday and asked me to come in today to fill a cancellation. I just had bloods done last week and I started thinking they were bad and that's why they bumped my appointment.

Anyway I got to hospital and it turns out they didn't know I was pregnant. they got the referral sheet and thought I was going there to discuss my dermoids and having them removed. I had my MRI there and the DR I got referred to does those surgeries as well as OB-GYN. So appointment wasn't supposed to be an OB one. I told them how worried I was so they got an ultrasound machine and did a scan.

Both babies are great! Baby A is measuring 12w2d and B 12w1d so right on par! They were dancing around waving their arms and legs at me. So relieved. Going back on Tuesday to have my NT scan.

Thanks for all the support. Let's hope I am officially through with all these crazy thoughts.

I'm so glad everything is ok. It's so hard not to worry some times. They are so active at 12 weeks and it is very exciting to see. I hope things go well on Tuesday!

BOMO - That's awesome!! Great News!!

Ash - so exciting that you are starting already!!!

Bubu - I have a really good feeling for you this time!!

Jenn - I am so glad that happened even though it was a mix up! Sounds like you are right where you should be, girl! Congrats

AFM - I am having a really hard time hiding my already growing bump and have decided it's time to tell my friends and family Once a month I have a "family dinner" with about 10 of our closest friends over. October's dinner is tomorrow and I went on hallmark.com and made personalized paper plates that say "Make room at family dinner for the arrival of your nephew!! Due: May 3, 2013". So when they are finished eating, they will see it on their plates!!! So excited!
Then we will be letting the rest of our family know this weekend

Drs- so you're saying I'm either fat or pushing my belly out... Interesting considering I'm neither and my stomach is hard as a rock. Think it depends on the person.

Such a cute way to announce. I just blurted it out over the phone. As for your bump. Mine is pretty far out there and I wasn't overweight/fat before getting pregnant. I wasn't super skinny either. I've posted a bump picture in my journal a few weeks ago and I think I look pretty normal for being 15 almost 16 weeks with twins. My belly isn't being pushed out. The only way bump pics should be done is at a relaxed standing position. It does depend on the person so be proud of your bump!

 

[drsquid]

sorry i wasnt talking about anyone specifically im sorry you took it personally. Just saying that it super varies. this was just my own theory (as my heavier friends seem to show earlier than my thin ones). worrying about a lack of a bump is silly because lots of people take forever to show. but tell me you havent seen pics of people who are like 5 weeks and claiming to have a bump where it is clear they are blowing their belly out as far as it would go.

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Thank you MrsC! I will be putting 2 back. I am so excited/nervous. It's almost like I am afraid to be too positive because it's been SO hard when it hasn't work but I don't want to not be positive and doubt it because that seems wrong too. I have a feeling I will spend the weekend worrrying that something will go wrong between now and Monday. I want to just be excited but I'm such a worrier! UGH!!

 

[Stinas]

Pink - Thank you! I am going to try to keep myself busy with work. It helps me not think about this whole process while im there, since only one person knows about it. Its like my getaway lol

MrsC - I wish I can go get a new one right now, but DH now says he will after all of this lol Might just work a few more doubles and buy it myself.
We thought the FET was going to be around 3k, but its now looking like 7k. Yay. So im not really going to push it right now.

TwoRdue - My clinic does not take pics of the embies, but I did see what they looked like....im guessing it was a digital snapshot from the microscope? Saw it on the screen as I was getting the transfer done.

Lindsay - Thank you Your right...and it is pouring over here lol
Im sooo excited its time to tell your friends! Thats such a good idea! You sooo need to text me a pic and fill me in on their reactions!
PS - Your not fat

Jenn - LOL......when something like this breaks, it seems like you always end up buying a ton of other things in order for it to work.
Hopefully I can get a new one soon.
Soooooo happy to hear everything is great!!! I can only imagine how crazy you were going!

Jess - Thank you!

Ash - 2 more days

BabyOnMyOwn - Yay!!! Great news! Are you doing PIO injections? I HATED them and am not looking forward to them again.

Drsquid - I believe everyone shows at different times, fat or skinny, toned or not. I have had many different body type friends that got preg, all of them showed at different times...mostly the toned skinny ones showed first, which I always thought would be opposite.
I do agree on those 4/5 week girls that push their belly out. There is nothing there and Its annoying. lol

Thank you ladies for the well wishes! Im nervous but excited! Im sure you will hear a few rants from me by then lol

How exciting! I think everyone probably gets nervous about their embies. Just gotta trust that everything will be ok and it will work out. Easier said than done I know! Fx for good embies on Monday!

Yeah FET does seem a little more important than a new computer. Ok maybe a lot! Sorry to hear it will be more than you thought for FET. I'm sure everything will work out very soon and everything will be great! We will be here for your future rants.

 

[wantbabysoon]

Stinas - Sorry to hear the cost of FET is more than you thought... But when you get a BFP in a couple weeks it will all be worth it

BOMO - FX for Monday!

AFM, just took the day off from work to relax... Tomorrow is my birthday so DH is taking me out for dinner.. Sunday my friend is coming over for my birthday and I will give her the news as well so we will have 2 things to celebrate I just want Monday to go fast so I can see my baby again on Tuesday's scan!!

 

[wantbabysoon]

Lindsay - You are not fat at all But start taking pics if you are already showing.. I am looking forward to my weekly pics once I start to show.... Right now I am just FAT.

 

[wantbabysoon]

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?

 

[TwoRdue]

Lindsey - I was showing by 10 weeks on my last pregnancy, ok there was two but I think I will show early this time as I got so much stretching last time to. I cant wait to have a big bump. My Oh loved it last time and would ask me to wear tight cloths so he could show it off lol

I feel the same in this pregnancy and the last. I know when we finally DTD (this weekend ) it will be awkward as I worry about it affecting the little on lol

 

[drsquid]

want- i wasnt having sex before my bfp =) to be honest i cant remember when i last had sex.. (heh i realize that wasnt your question). good luck =)

sorry again for any misunderstanding. i honestly wasnt trying to call anyone fat or hurt anyones feelings. ive been doing enough of that irl recently i certainly dont want to do it on here.. heck i think i look fat still not pregnant but people tell me im crazy.

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Yesterday I had my 5 wk 2 day scan and the nurse said that I still have a lot of fluid from the e/r bc my follicles are still releasing fluid I guess. Anyway, I am only five weeks and look 4-5months pregnant and had to buy two pairs of maternity pants bc mine don't fit. I'm tall and thin and def. have a bump and don't push it out - the bump is from the IVF and progestrone - not the baby. Anyways - I think everyone gets sensitive because this whole process does a lot to our bodies and not everyone can look awesome.

 

[bubumaci]

Linds - what a fabulous idea to tell everyone - I think it is great

Happy early birthday!! Sounds like you have a fun weekend planned.

Well if my husband was home we would still be having sex. The two weeks he was home I was 7 and 8 weeks. We did and everything was fine. Once he gets home we will start again. I think that only worry should be if your RE or OB says not to or if you start spotting. If you start spotting they may just ask you to hold off for a little while. I know some people wait until after the first trimester but its a personal choice. You just have to do what is comfortable for you. I really don't think anything can get messed us by having sex though.

 

[almosthere]

want i am waiting to dtd until 7 or 8 weeks will be getting drs opinion at my scan thursday

sorry for no personals i am feeling really sick and wiped out...sore throat and phlem really bothering me a lot today...

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
