Hi everyone I hope all is well. I'm starting to get excited, my FET is Wednesday and I'm officially taking everything prescribed which makes it feel real! I had an appointment on Thursday to check my lining and hormone levels and my lining was 1.1 at that point and my RE said my hormone levels are where we want them. I was pleasantly surprised to find out my ovaries had no cysts and we're not as prominent as they used to be! We did find one fibroid but I was told it is very small and located in a part of my uterus that the embryo wouldn't implant so not to worry about it at all. The doctor I saw Thursday said it would be good for me to take a baby aspirin a day, anyone else take baby aspirin?

Hi everyone, I havent been on here for a while.
I have been in bed most of the time. The OHSS doesnt allow me to get out of bed much. It sucks, but as long as I am in bed, it doesn't get too bad. DH does all the cooking and everything else around the house. He has been super sweet though I feel guilty of not being able to do my part.

Other than OHSS, I am hungry all the time. Morning sickness isn't too bad if I dont allow myself to get hungry. So I have been eating tiny meals all through the day. But I am still fatigued and sleep a lot in the day. On the days I am involved in very light activity, I get severe back pain like a sprain, it is always at the same point. At the last appointment, I was told its the uterus pressing down on my spine or whatever. So I get nervous when that pain gets worse that it might hurt the baby. I cant stand for more than 15 minutes, so I have been tied down at home all the time. I would like to go out and do some shopping My bras are getting snug and I need some maternity jeans already , thanks to OHSS. And I am scatter brained. I already cant remember what I had intended to post on here

Will do personals later and will do some catching up on this thread now.

Cd - I take baby Asprin daily and will continue throught pregnancy. I take the Bayer 81mg Low Dose one.

Honey - sorry the OHSS is still around but super glad to hear so is your peanut!!! When will OHSS go away?

 

[CDysart]

Stinks - I read that OHSS symptoms can last up to 10 weeks if pregnant. The pregnancy prolongs the OHSS. If not pregnant than will most likely resolve when period starts. Also congrats on finishing your PIO shots!

Honey - I'm sorry your not feeling great but luckily you should start feeling better in the upcoming weeks, then you can get out and shop!

Lindsay - Good luck with the selling of your house I hope it is a pleasant and easy experience and you can move on to your next home, such exciting times for you!

AzLissie - I'm keeping you and your sweet little boy in my prayers that all goes well with surgeries and you all are able to breeze past each one. I think having pictures done before is a beautiful idea but I don't think Dawson will ever think you were embarrassed because I have a sneaky suspicioun that he will always know that he was loved unconditionally and with your whole heart.

Prayin - I hope everything looks perfect and you get to start jabbing right away! Waiting is so hard because it's not something you can put on a shelf and come back to when it's time, it's always in your mind. Keeping my fingers crossed and saying an extra prayer.

Bubu - I'm excited for you to get started, you get that fresh feeling of hope again and it's a great feeling. I hope this is your time and that hope turns into crazy joy!

MoBaby - Can't wait to hear a new update from you, I was so very excited when you found out you were pregnant and love to follow your progress because it's so exciting and gives me such hope for the future!

I'm sorry if I missed anyone, you are all such wonderful ladies and I always look forward to hearing how your journeys are going.

As for me I'm super stoked about Wednesday, it kind of feels like a holiday is coming! I'm praying that these embryos or embryo sticks with me and we are celebrating in 9 months!! We are putting back two blasts but if I had my way we would probably stick in 3 blasts however my clinic will not let me do that because of my age and I had pretty good egg quality. I'm 32 but they don't allow more than two (they prefer one) until 35 or older and then it still depends on quality and other factors. Have a good evening!

 

[CDysart]

Oh my gosh STINAS I'm sorry my auto correct is always changing things and I didn't catch it!

 

[Stinas]

CD - lol its ok. I would stick to two as well. This cycle I wanted to do 3 and my re talked me out of it. THANK GOD because both did stick and one even split...so we did have 3 in there at one point...sac was empty, but still.

 

[bubumaci]

*lol* CD ... now that is one crazy auto-correct there on Stinas' name

I am also looking forward to starting again after our vacation - although some part of me is also starting to be a bit apprehensive, as I am becoming more and more used to failure I don't mind the stimming (although I hate needles / am a needle-a-phobe) and I absolutely loathe the ER ... The last two times, by the time I got to ER, I was feeling pretty sore in my ovaries - so I was just looking forward to getting the eggies taken out *lol* I am trying to stay positive-minded - but with the year and losses I've had ... I don't know if I could cope with the disappointment. I do believe deep down, that we will have our baby ... and that I deserve to get some good news this year, after all the bad - but Karma doesn't always work that way. I guess I'm just scared of it not working again.

Fingers crossed for you on Wednesday - do you know how many you are likely to retrieve? I really hope that your embies develop nicely, so that you have two blasts to put back in

Hi Ladies Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

This time around waiting for these test results to come back is as bad as my TWW!! My anxiety is at an all time high...ugghhhh...trying to just let it be and forget but realized it's dam hard! lol...Anyone going to Halloween parties this weekend or next?

 

[Stinas]

bubu - Im excited for you to start!! You got a step closer last time...this time will be it!

Kathy - waiting for results sucks!!! No halloween parties here. Not much of a halloween person....Christmas is my favorite holiday.


So what do you ladies think. RE said no dying hair until 12w....OB said it has not been proven to to harm baby, but most people wait until 12w. So I decided whatever I will wait. So I have waited. Somehow magically I got this sat off....shocker, yes I know....so I said what the heck, let me see if she has availability....she did so I booked it. I will be 12w1d ...my mom said its pushing it/cutting it close. Im still over 12w and I will be able to see my lo's the day before, so if everything is fine, I dont see what the harm is.
What do you think?

 

[MoBaby]

You'll be fine. Highlights are even better than color.

 

[Stinas]

Mo im doing both. My hair is pretty much black, so I do roots and foils.

 

[MoBaby]

I think it's okay. I went at 15 weeks b/c I couldn't get an appt but I would have totally gone at 12 or if you just got foils this time and then back to your normal thing the next time?

 

[Stinas]

I have a wedding in cali Nov 15, so I just want/need to do it all and call it a day. Its pretty bad....this is the longest I have pretty much ever gone. I feel gross lol

 

[MoBaby]

thats how i was until i went at 14 or 15 weeks... i cant remember lol. i had an appt at 7 wks but dh said not to go then i canceled then finally got to rescheduling...it had been 5 months since I had my highlights. Luckily I have dark blonde hair naturally so it kinda of blends with the lighter blonde highlights but I felt like it looked horrible!

 

[Stinas]

lol DH was threatening me if I went. Too many people scared me, so I decided to wait....but now it is time! These roots are seriously killer. Someone pointed it out to me at work and asked me if I was ok since I havent gone lol

 

[MoBaby]

does work not know about babies yet?

 

[Stinas]

No...only a couple people know. We are not saying anything until after our scan. We are telling family at work after scan and others after 13w.
I am kind of enjoying it as a secret. As weird as that may sound.
Like that friend of mine that pissed me off before my D&C ....I really don't want to tell her at all.

 

[Lindsay18]

Hey girls!!!
Stinas- just freaking get your hair done!!! Lol you know how I feel about that. I did hahah!

How is everyone doing? Can't believe it, but Reiken will be 6 months tomorrow where has the time gone?!!! So crazy to think about!
For those of you that aren't on fb, we went pumpkin/apple picking the other day. Can't believe how big he looks! Lol
