[Jenn76]

Good Luck today Stinas!!!! Can't wait to hear about your scan!

 

[michelle01]

Mobaby - part of the guess was due to HR and part was just a pure guess time will certainly tell!! Just so excited for you no matter what the gender!!

Thinking of you today Stinas!

Hi az!! That is so amazing Dawson's sleeping that much; I cannot wait for 6-8 hours of sleep! Up right now having a cup of coffee then back to sleep for another 2-3 hours of sleep glad his weight is so great too!!

 

[Stinas]

Just got back from my scan!!!! We have twinkies again!!!!!! Super excited!!! They looked more round than last time!
Doc said everything looks great. Too early for hb's. I go back on tuesday, which might still be early for the hb, but she wants to see me again because I guess her rounds of scans wont be for a while....docs take turns doing rounds....something like that.
She said I will be doing progesterone for at least another month (yay) as well as everything else im taking.
Super exciting! I might put the scan pic up in my journal later.

 

[MoBaby]

Told you it was twins!! Super excited for you! What about the spotting?

 

[Stinas]

She said the spotting was ok/normal....especially with two. Not to worry about it. It will probably linger for a while.
She was super excited that I puked on tue lol

 

[michelle01]

Yay Stinas!!!! I am soooo happy for you!!!

 

[Likklegemz]

Stinas I'm so pleased for you! I'd secretly love twins but I've got a singleton on board!

 

[sekky]

Whoooooooot stinas. Congrats again

Transferred 2 beautiful blasts today. Doc said they were both great quality

Sorry this is so late but congrats on being PUPO!! Not much longer until testing day! Will you be testing early?

Hi Ladies. Thought I'd jump in. I haven't been in the forums for quite awhile as we've been waiting to get into a fertility clinic. But we've had our appt, and put on the list for IVF with ICSI. So happy to finally have a direction! Will start my DHea and co enzyme Q-10 tomorrow, and will start calling in on day 1 of my cycle! Yay!

Welcome!

Welcome Altamom

Sooo... Gastroscopy this morning showed : no abnormalities - so as great as that is, I am not getting out of the operation on Friday

On another note - had our appointment this afternoon with the doctor. He said it was great that we had such a beautiful embryo to transfer in August (1-) which was by FAR the best we have ever had. He is going to do a similar protocol for our next try, just upping the dosage a little bit in the hope that we get a few more eggs ... and he agreed that I can sit out two months and go with the November cycle. Once we get back from our Florida holiday, I will be popping in to have another scratch biopsy - then we will stim and early December (probably) have the next ER. Am seriously hoping that, after the crappiest ever of years, we will go out with a big bang and a BFP

I hope all goes well with the surgery. Not sure of the time difference but I hope I caught you in time. December will be here before you know it and you will end the year on a great note.

Welcome alta!

Good luck with your scan mo!!

Honey - that's awesome! Got everything crossed for you

Bubu - sorry you still have to have the surgery but at least that means no more attacks!! And you WILL go out with a bang this year

Welcome home Lindsay it is nice that you got help on the plane!!

Az - yay for some sleep; I got one 8 hour night cause DH took Dylan so I could sleep. I cannot wait till I get 6-8 hour stretches!!

Jenn - love your pics on Facebook they are so adorable!!!

Dylan had his one month appt today; weighs 8.06 pounds, 20.5 inches. He has an ear infection and gonna start PT for torticollis this Friday.

Great weight! How is the ear infection doing? I'm sure thats hard on you both. I hope Dylan is doing well. I also hope tomorrow goes well with the PT.

Likkle the success rates are the same according to my RE. Most REs use the medicated b/c they can time it just right. Since my clinic does transfers everyday timing wasnt an issue and because I ovulate the same every month and am regular it was easy to predict things.

AFM: Scan this morning. It wasn't good.... IT WAS GREAT!!!! Omg. Baby wasn't as active as I hoped but he got to moving and turned around and moved his little arms (disclaimer: i dont know if its he or she but I just say he ) HB was between 168 and 173. Measured 2 days ahead at 10w6d. SO happy. I graduated. Gave everyone hugs. And cried. My RE almost cried as well. He was teary eyed! It was fantastic. I am so sad to leave them but so happy to begin a new adventure. Here is my baby:

Beautiful scan pic!! I'm so glad you graduated. As emotional as it is theres always that excitement of knowing things are going great!

Mo, great scan!! I love seeing them move on the screen. So happy for you!

Stinas, best of luck tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about your scan.

Bubu, I hope everything goes well with your surgery & you have an easy recovery.

Hello to everyone else! Sorry I'm not posting here that often but I am reading & keeping up with everyone. Dawson is doing great - he weighed 8lbs 2ozs on Monday and he's still sleeping 6-8 hours straight at night. He got a little mixed up yesterday and slept from 3 in the afternoon til 10:30 but I think he's back on schedule today.

Hope you're all doing well!

Sounds like Dawson is doing great with his weight gain. How are the feedings going? I'm glad to hear he is back on the normal schedule. Having a mix up like that is so hard on everyone!

Just got back from my scan!!!! We have twinkies again!!!!!! Super excited!!! They looked more round than last time!
Doc said everything looks great. Too early for hb's. I go back on tuesday, which might still be early for the hb, but she wants to see me again because I guess her rounds of scans wont be for a while....docs take turns doing rounds....something like that.

Super exciting! I might put the scan pic up in my journal later.

Congrats on twinkies!!! I'll have to go searching for this scan pic to see! I'm so excited for you!! Maybe seeing that woman pregnant with twins a few months back was a sign you would get your twinkies back.

AFM~ Hubby is gone for two more weeks. He was suppose to be home tomorrow. For those of you on FB with me I'm sure you all know that things aren't great where he is at. I'm not excited that he has to be gone for two more weeks for a few reasons. He is suppose to be going to Africa in a few days so we will see if he can make it out of there. On another note the girls are doing really well. Both of them get up on their hands and knees while rocking back and forth. My house is going to be under attack very soon. By babies of course. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. Emma gets into EVERYTHING she can get her little hands on. Ava just watches her. Yeah, this is going to be fun! I was finally able to switch Ava back to normal formula this week. I'm relieved to say that she has been doing very well with it. The reflux is still gone and we haven't had any screaming fits like she had the last time she was on this formula. It's also nice to know that I won't be having to spend $310.00 a month on just her formula anymore!

Other than that I'm just staying busy of course. Sorry for not catching up as often as I would like to. I hope you all are doing well!

 

[Stinas]

Thanks everyone!!! I am super excited but still know I have quite a road ahead of me.
I really thought I had one on board...dh guessed it was twinkies. I got the call from the nurse. Everything looks great. Beta #3 was over 15,000. I go back on Thursday. So I'll be 6w5d by then. Hopefully we see something.

 

[Jenn76]

Congrats Stinas!!!! Beautiful scan pic!! That's great that you get to see them again next week.

MrsC: Shitty about hubby I hope he makes it home soon safe and sound. It's so funny every time you describe Emma and Ava I can't get over how much Emma is like Chris and Ava is like my Emma. Chris grabs everything within reach and it gets right into his mouth, Emma is much calmer. Glad to hear you were able to put Ava back on regular formula. Time to start baby proofing, hopefully hubby gets to see the first crawl.

 

[Cjohnson13]

Ugh I have 8 follies( trying to be happy about 8) but I expected more 6 days of stims and my e2 is only 402.....I'm trying to stay positive but it's so hard..... Maybe it's all the hormones

 

[azlissie]

Huge congrats on the twinkies, Stinas! I love the pic in your journal. So happy for you!!

 

[Allika]

I wanted to update here. Got my beta today: 53 at 7dp5dt! We are stoked, unfortunately I have developed OHSS in the last two days but that's a price I gladly pay!

 

[MoBaby]

congrats!

 

[Stinas]

Allika - yay!! Congrats!!

 

[honeycheeks]

Congratulations stinas on twinkies. I am over the moon for you.

Congratulations allika. I didn't know some clinics did a super early beta. Its so exciting to hear you have a positive already. Did you do an hpt at home. Just curious to know the results of the hpt. How bad is your ohss. What are your symptoms. I'm sorry ohss got you. I hope it isn't too bad

Afm there isn't much going on. I am 5 dp5dt. I am always so warm from the progesterone and boobs have started to feel heavier since yesterday. Ohss has got better which is a huge relief .

 

[MoBaby]

When will you test honey??

Bubu: I know you are probably in surgery now b/c of the time difference but well wishes today! Hoping all goes well and you can get back to ttc soon!

 

[Allika]

@honey: they only did the hcg because of my OHSS symptoms. I gained 4 lbs over night and had trouble breathing. So they performed a metabolic panel and all that and did an ultrasound which showed my ovaries enlarged and full of fluid! If I gain more weight I have to go to the hospital! No fun! I hope I can dodge that bullet

Congrats Stinas
