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

[MoBaby]

Good to hear from you bubu! Glad recovery is going well! Rest up!

 

[honeycheeks]

Bubu - its great to hear from you again. I hope it is a super quick recovery for you. I hope this operation has put an end to all the woes of your life and you may look back at it later as a big turning point of life.

Afm I had some nasty cramping a few hours after lunch. Then I had a nap and woke up screaming in pain. It was like being brutally stabbed from inside. Also ohss is showing its ugly sides again. While I secretly acknowledge that ohss getting worse means more hcg I just hope things don't get out of hand. We haven't celebrated the bfp or anything. It could go either ways at this stage. So just treading cautiously. Thanks ladies for all the support on here

 

[Jenn76]

Honey: Congrats! Sorry about the cramping, I hope it passes soon and doesn't turn out to be OHSS.

Bubu: Glad to hear you are resting, and doing well.

Mobaby: Congrats on going public with your pregnancy. Loved the photos!

 

[MoBaby]

And I saw the grown up OB today lol
Founds bubs hb on Doppler. Had a mishap with the crinone.... Dr was unable to do a vagibal exam/pap. I warned him and I was embarrassed! Last dose is Saturday and I star oral progesterone for the rest of the pregnancy.

Also found out bub is coming a month earlier than expected due to my previous surgery and uterine abnormality. Goal is 34 wks with baby out at 36 weeks with c section. No cerclage!! But any preterm labor before 34 weeks and I'm on hospital bedrest. So hoping nothing exciting goes On until after 34 weeks
Oh and I have a small bump lol. I told dh that but he didnt believe me but then dr was examining me and he said oh you have a little bump!

 

[Likklegemz]

Very quick one from me.

Honey, that defiantly looks like a positive one to me, congrats hun! I'm really sorry for your cramping, hopefully that'll go away within the next day or so. Have you increased your water intake? Always helps with OHSS.

Buba, glad everything went well, hope your recovering well

Stinas how's everything progressing?

Mobaby, hearing the heartbeat is fab. I cried in the doctors office when I heard it the first time, this pregnancy has turned me into a total wuss - I cry at everything at the moment!

Never2 I'm sorry your going through a rough time with your daughter. My parents divorced when I was very young (5 years old), my mum has never remarried or had a serious boyfriend - although I've always encouraged her too, whereas my dad got married and had two more daughters, one who is 13 years old and the other is 4. At the time I was devastated when at 18 I was told they were having a daughter as I was always daddy's little girl. I outgrew it thank god, and I love them both to pieces (although it was very hard ttc when the youngest was born and we were having trouble). Hopefully she'll outgrow this behaviour and she's simply having a rough time herself (not that's an excuse) and before you know it everything will calm down and you can start to rebuild your relationship.

Apologies if I've missed a load of news out. Hrd to keep up sometimes!

Afm I felt babies kick for the first time yesterday. I'd felt flutters since I was about 16 weeks, but felt definite kick yesterday so was over the moon. My 20 week scan is a week today which is my birthday so can't wait!

Hope everyone is well, love and hugs to all x x x

 

[MoBaby]

I didn't cry because it's still so surreal I think. I was amazed but still feels so surreal. I know there is a baby in there but it's hard to believe. I was a nice sound hearing the heart beating away. Dh couldn't hear it that well because he was in a chair a little far away.

Hi everyone!
I know its been a while but I do log on and follow what's going on and still pray for you all daily

Most of us are friends on FB so as you know I am having a really hard time with my daughter Ciera. It's just been brutal. I have decided to distance myself from her completely for my own health.

Thinking about you all! Welcome new lovelies.

Hopefully I can snap out of this funk soon and get back to being me.

Prayers and Blessings,
Angie

It looks like I missed what happened on FB. I'm kinda understanding what went on. I really hope that she comes around and you guys can work things out. It may just take some time. I'm sure the hormones going through both of you right now don't helps things much. I was an angry pregnant woman in the beginning! All joking aside I'm really sorry things are so rough right now.

Thanks ladies. They can't explain why it happens unfortunately. They said that the recovery isn't too bad and that I can walk with a special shoe on pretty much immediately but not to overdo it. Yeah that's easier said then done lol. Fingers crossed.

Ang- I read everything on fb. That really is awful. Maybe distance will help. I'm so sorry.

Hopefully everything goes well and you are able to rest afterwards.

Oh Angie , I'm so sorry for you and your little girl. Im sure she is torn and suffering too. I hope she gets over her issues soon. Indigestion cant be good. I hope your tummy feels better.

Linds -Im sorry about your foot. I hope you have the quickest recovery ever. I hope you have some help around till you are on your feet.

AFM - I have some major cramping. I cramped all night. It was so bad , the pain woke me up several times. Its morning here now and I'm still cramping. I have had some cramping in my earlier cycles too, but not so painful like Im dying.
Also , I tested this morning 8dp5dt and might have something to show you Tell me what you think.

Congrats!! Sorry you are having some really bad cramping. Fx that goes away soon.

Yay for hearing the HB! Sounds like you have a good goal in place. Anything after 35 weeks will be added bonus.

Very quick one from me.

Yay for feeling baby kicks!!

Bubu~ I'm glad you are recovering and things went well. Thank you for checking in.

 

[Stinas]

honey - You probably have light cramping, which is normal, but it feels much stronger because of your OHSS. I had cramping and spotting night before my beta and everything was ok.
Do not stress out about it....you dont need the added stress to your body. Its hard to get super excited until you see what your beta is. Hang in there!

bubu - Nice hearing from you!!! Glad everything went well!!!

Mo - Beautiful pics on fb!! Loved them!!!

Likklegemz - I am doing well. US on thursday! Excited but more scared.
Yayyyy for feeling kicks! How amazing that must feel!!!


Feeling super bloated today...like i got a little bump going on. lol Feeling like im going to explode from every way lol
Never had a belly...im more of an ass girl, so i am guessing this is why I feel more bloated? Who knows. Secretly enjoying it....imagining how it will hopefully be weeks from now.

 

[honeycheeks]

Stinas - To be honest , I am in denial till we get a darker line and beta results. I didn't test today, saving my test for tomorrow.Also I didn't think there would be a huge change in results in just 24 hours. I had more tests stashed away somewhere because I thought I'm not going to need them. I can't seem to find them.

huh! talking about the bloat I already look like 4-5 months pregnant with the bloating and ohss. It hurts to stand up straight . I understand what it feels ,like you are about to explode. I am guessing it might take weeks before my bloating goes away , if I get a BFP.
The cramps are still here. But no spotting, or I would be freaking right now. Beta is on Thursday.

Allika - how are you feeling? I hope OHSS didn't get you too bad.

 

[GettingBroody]

Wow, I've missed loads!!

Stinas - congratulations!!! Can't believe it's twins again!! So totally thrilled for you!

Allika - congrats to you too!! When are you due? How are you feeling?

Honey - and more congrats!!!! Sorry to you're not feeling well I had bad cramping at the start too, much worse then my usual af cramps which kinda reassured me if that makes sense. Hope your ohss eases soon. Mind yourself!

Mo - I think that is just about the cutest scan pic I've ever seen!!! Looks like a little jelly bean!!!! So so so delighted for you!

Lindsay - you poor thing, hope you feel better soon

Michelle - did I read that you're in pain too? Ugh! Get well soon!

Ange - I missed the FB stuff too but I hope in time yourself and your daughter can make things up. Maybe this break from each other might help in the long run

Likkle - those first kicks are amazing!!! I'm so jealous! I miss my bump!!!

Bubu - glad your procedure went well. Take care of yourself and make sure dh gives you plenty of tlc!!

Apologies to anyone whose updates I missed - hope ye're all well!!

Big news here is that Fia has started dropping her night feed She goes down at about 1030ish and wakes for a feed at about 4 or 5. The last few weeks she has only wanted a quick 5-10 min top up before falling back to sleep so the last few nights I've tried just turning back on her sleep sheep when she starts to stir instead of feeding her and it works! She goes straight back to sleep until about 730. Yay! Hoping that in another week or so she'll have broken the habit of waking at 4 and I won't have to wake up to turn on the sheep (love that sheep though!!!)

Also, I've applied for unpaid maternity leave once mine is finished so will be off til Jan now. Will be very poor for a few months but it'll be worth it!!! She was 6 months actual age last week - can't believe it! Ok I can hear her stirring from her nap now so better go...!

Have a nice day all!!!

 

[Allika]

OHSS went away after a couple of days luckily. First it freaked me out because I thought maybe my hormone levels are dropping but hcg went from 53 on 12 DPO to 282 on 16 DPO so all is good!

@ Honey: drink lots of Gatorade and eat lots of protein!!!!

 

[honeycheeks]

Allika - im glad your ohss went away soon. I am drinking loads and loads of fluids. It could have gotten much worse if I didn't watch my fluid intake. And proteins are all I want to eat. So I guess I have that covered too. Today after lunch the cramps began again and I had some massive diarrhoea. Sorry if TMI. Every time I go to the toilet im afraid AF would show her head. I haven't tested again. I am just too scared of seeing a negative. The line was just too faint the first time.

 

[honeycheeks]

Does anyone know if the leg cramps have something to do with OHSS related electrolyte imbalance. They just don't seem to go away.

 

[sekky]

Honey sorry about your cramps. Hope they get better.

AFM I trigger today for Thursday ER

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]
