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

[CDysart]

Here is a pic of today's test the others got tossed as I did them at work.

 

[CDysart]

It doesn't photograph well but it's a little darker in person.

 

[MoBaby]

Id say thats positive also! Just wait a couple days for the digital. I like line test much better than digis though

Update from todays scan: All went great!! Baby was perfect No issues. Cervical length was fine and no signs of PTL. Yay! I go back in 4 weeks!! I get an ultrasound every visit now so thats nice that I get to see baby often!!

 

[CDysart]

I'm not sure if this is any better, the other two look like there's nothing.

 

[Stinas]

CD - I see lines!! yayyy!!! I agree with the other girls....dont bother with using the digital for a couple more days. I have twins and mine came up I think 7dp5dt...maybe even 8dpt....cant remember. I personally like to see the lines get darker.

Mo - Yayy for a nice scan!!! Love them!

BUBU - How are you?!

Saw the high risk docs today. Loved her....plus she let me do another scan...totally her idea! Love it!!! I got a cool tech who guessed the genders.....Looks like Baby A is a GIRL! and Baby B a BOY! Opposite of what I thought, but still exciting. She says shes usually always right! lol We shall see! I go back Nov. 13 for cervical check, hopefully they can see a bit better then.

 

[bubumaci]

Wondering how your lines are today CD Looking good!!

Mo - what a cutiepie!

Me - I am sad that we are giving Muffin - who we have been doggie-sitting for 9 days - back today. He is such a character and I have loved having him here. The mornings are especially funny, when he so excited and beside himself that we are getting up, he has to take his blanket in his mouth to try to curb his excitement When working, he has laid down either under my desk or next to my chair - ever so often, when he wants more attention, he'll bump my arm with his nose. I am in love ... well, he is not far away if I want to see him. I grew up with a dog and had my own 10 years ago ... If I were permanently working at home (or if we had a "mini") then we would get a dog. While we both go to the office and we can't take dogs, it's just not fair on the doggie But this experience has just strengthened my desire to have a dog again!

Other news, DH went to see my acupuncturist yesterday, first consultation was 1,25 hours. He gets to drink my chinese medicine tea too and will also be getting acupuncture - since we fly out day after tomorrow, that won't start until we get back from vacation. Looking at my cycle at the moment, I am guessing that it will be end of November-ish when we get started again

I saw the thyroid specialist yesterday - ultrasound showed everything looking perfect - just waiting on my bloods. She has already given me the prescription (since I wanted to be able to start right away before vacation, if I need to take something) and will e-Mail me a) if I need to get the medication and b) how much I need to take, if I need to. Everything in normal ranges for a healthy person - but should probably be lower to improve follicle development / pregnancy chances. We shall see.

@ Stinas - when do you get to hear the genders with certainty?

 

[michelle01]

Congrats Stinas!!! So exciting .... A boy and a girl how are you feeling?? Your pic of the babies is amazing!!!

Mo - loved your scan pic hope all is going good!!

CD - congrats!!!

Kathy - how are you doing??

Bubu - enjoy your vacation!!

Both Tyler and I have been fighting bronchitis this last week; it's been awful. And back to work Monday these past 12 weeks went waaaaay to fast!!

 

[Stinas]

Bubu - awww. I miss having a dog sometimes too. They are constant work .. Granted so is a baby, but the baby can pretty much come anywhere with you lol. Maybe when the twinkies are older we can get a little dog.

We should find sex out for sure next month. I go for scan Nov 13 just shy of 15w, nov 20, and nov 29 all scans. Anatomy scan is Dec 20.

 

[GettingBroody]

I can see those lines CD!!! I agree with the others - too early for a digi but you're definitely pg!!

Bubu - I have the perfect solution to your doggie dilemma - get two so they can keep each other company!!!! When do you get the results from the thyroid tests?

Mo - delighted all went well! And yay for no signs of PTL... Fx'd it stays that way! That's great that you'll get so many scans! Will you be able to fit all the apts in around work or will you need to get lots of time off?

Stinas - aw, a boy and a girl! Looking forward to hearing the official verdict! You've a lot of scans coming up too! Enjoy!

Michelle - Sorry ye've been sick, how are ye both now? And more for going back to work - where will Dylan go when you're working?

 

[bubumaci]

Getting - hmmm - in theory, not a bad idea
Actually, my results weren't bad. But I still get to take half a tablet every day, to try and push the TSH down even more (was 1,7 in yesterday's blood test - but other things tested were low as well, so she feels I should take the Thyroxin).

 

[CDysart]

This puts me in such a happy place!!! All I can think about is the word Pregant!!

Hi Michelle....I hope you guys get better soon I was delayed yet again because I still have the infection...so now Im doing the antibiotics for two weeks and have my biopsy on Nov 8th...don't think I could take another set back...Im drained with all that is going on..I just can't catch a break.. Hopefully this is it and I can move forward...hate to sound negative but I just don't have the same level of confidence that I had ...

Mo....awesome pic....

Stinas...that's some exciting news

Congrats again CD

hi Bubu!!

Lindsay

hi everybody

Hi Ladies! I suck at keeping up in here now and I'm so sorry. I do try to read when I can.

CD~ Congrats on your bfp!! :happy dance:

Kathy~ I'm so sorry to hear that you have to wait a little longer. Hopefully once these meds are done everything will be cleared up and you can get started.

Bubu~ I hope you have a great trip. Not much longer until you are starting!

Stinas~ Congrats on a girl and a boy!! Thats so exciting!

Mo~ Such a great scan pic!

Az~ I know Dawson's surgery is coming up soon. Just wanted to say that I'm thinking about you guys.

AFM~ The girls are doing good. Sleeping like crap but doing good. We wake up once or twice a night still. Ava is usually up around 1, then Emma is up at 4, Ava back up at 6 and then we are up for the day at 630 or 7. To say I'm not looking forward to the time change would be an understatement!! Emma is crawling all over the place and Ava is still doing her belly flop/crawl. She still isn't sitting up yet. I'm hoping she will soon though. Other than that I don't think there is really anything new going on. Hubby is back at work so I'm back on my own until December.

I hope you all are doing well and I'm sorry if I missed any updates.

 

[Jenn76]

Congrats CD!!!!!!! Good luck at your beta, I hope you get a high number. When will you have your first scan? Are you hoping for twins?

Stinas: Beautiful pics! FX the tech is right and you get your million dollar family. Did you spill the beans yet? Glad you like your new doctor.

Kathy: Sorry to hear your infection isn't gone yet. Hopefully the antibiotics work fast and you have no more delays. I know how frustrating delays can be but you have to trust tha you RE is doing what I best to give you your BFP.

Bubu: Doggy Daycare!! My dogs loved going there and would come home exhausted from playing all day. We also have three dogs to keep each other company. I love being a dog owner, they are so rewarding. I love coming home to them. Also my babies love the dogs. Hope you have a great vacation.

Azlissie: Dawson is so adorable. I love all your FB updates. I think it is a great idea to get some professional pics done. It sounds like he is in good hands for his surgery. I'm glad to hear the recovery won't be that bad. I wish we could all be there for you in the waiting room, I know how stressful that day will be.

Michelle: Sorry to hear you are going back to work so soon. I hope your feeling better.

Mobaby: Love the new baby pic, and your adorable bump!

Lindsay: Happy 6 months to Reiken! He's so adorable, I love seeing your FB updates too! Good luck with the house.

Broody: We need an updated Fia pic! I keep checking FB but I haven't seen a recent pic. Glad to hear she is doing well.

MrsC: Love, love, love the family pics!!! Sorry hubby is gone again.

Sorry if I missed anyone, I'm way behind on here. Babies are doing great, very energetic and happy.

 

[azlissie]

Hello everyone! I'm so sorry that I've gotten so bad about updating in here but Dawson is a pretty high maintenance little guy & I don't have a lot of downtime.

CD, huge congrats! I love seeing the lines get darker on the tests but nothing beats a digi. Can't wait to hear your beta!

MrsC, I'm sorry your DH had to leave again - I hope it's calmer this time. Your family photos are gorgeous!! You all look so happy & loving. How does DH react when people say the girls look just like him?

Michelle, I'm sorry you & Tyler have been sick. I'm sure that makes it hard to have the energy to take care of Dylan. That stinks that you have to go back to work - I am dreading that.

Mo, great pic! I'm glad to hear your scan went so well. I can't believe you're halfway already!

Stinas, beautiful pics of your twinkies! That would be fun to have one of each. Any ideas for names yet?

Laurie & Angie, how are you guys doing? Are you feeling your little guys moving around a lot?

Jenn, I loved the video you posted the other day of lo blowing raspberries! So cute. Is your DH stepping up more at all? Thanks for the moral support - I wish you guys could wait with me too!

Lindsay, I can't believe Reiken is 6 months old already! He's so cute & looks super smart in your fb pics. You might have your hands full when he gets older!

Getting, I second the request for an updated pic of Fia! How's she doing?

Hello to everyone else!

AFM, those of you who are on fb know about Dawson's scare last week. It was horrible - Thursday morning after his first feeding he started having these weird episodes where he would throw his arms out wide, get really stiff & his eyes would roll back in his head. It would last a few seconds & then he would come out of it & start crying. I took him to the pediatrician & it happened probably 20 times in less than an hour. His dr thought it was seizures so he sent me to the hospital right away. They did an EEG, which required gluing 27 electrodes into his head & then monitoring him for about 18 hours. They also did an MRI which he had to be sedated for, so he couldn't eat anything for 4 hours before. The MRI lab was running late & then the test took quite awhile, so the poor little guy didn't have anything to eat from 9am til 5pm. But the tests came back normal - he didn't have any more episodes once we got to the hospital of course - so they're not sure what was going on. The only thing they can figure is maybe he had a bad case of reflux & his nervous system just went haywire. He's started taking reflux meds & all I can do is just wait to see if it happens again. It was such a terrifying ordeal but my little guy handled it like a champ, which makes me hope things will go well with his lip surgery November 14th. I swear this baby is waaaay more stressful than I ever imagined!

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[GettingBroody]

Cd - I thought we told you to put away the digis for another few days! Huge congrats!!! Have ye told anyone yet?

Mamali - Can't believe you're 32 weeks already! How are you feeling?

Prayin - So sorry to hear you've had another set back I hope the antibiotics do their job soon and you can get started soon. I know it's easier said than done but try and stay positive!

Az - what date is Dawson's surgery again? Hope it all goes exactly as planned. Will he have to stay in overnight? How are you feeling about it now? Edit - cross post!! Somehow missed that info in FB... You poor thing - that must've been so scary. So glad Dawson's ok & that the tests came back clear. Hopefully it was a once-off and will never happen again

MrsC - great to hear the girls are doing so well! Hope the time flies and DH is home again before you know it!

Jenn - Fia loves our dogs too! I know, I'm rubbish for uploading pics! Maybe tomor for Halloween...

Bubu - glad your results weren't too bad but hopefully the half tablet will help level things out and give your system the boost it needs!

 

[Stinas]

CD -

MrsC - Glad to hear the girls are doing well!!! Sorry they are not sleeping good yet...I think they just like spending time with you lol

Jenn - DH spilled the beans to almost everyone...on his side at least....im starting to think even the mailman knows lol I havent yet lol I figured I would spill the beans on sunday. I have this annual dance on sat, so I kind of dont want to be bombarded by fake people wanting to pretend to be happy when all they want to do is be nosey.
I was thinking of outing myself on instagram (yes, I am obsessed with it)...I am a shoe freak, DH is pretty much too....so I was thinking of lining up two of our favorite pairs, and these two white pair of socks (with little ducks on them) and write on my chalkboard Coming Spring 2014. People that know me will know its totally me.

azlissie - Poor little guy! That scared me when I saw it!!! Im sooo happy everything turned out ok! Hes a super trooper!
umm....no names yet. We usually name them after the husbands parents, but they are taken by his brother, and I dont want to name them after my parents (they have super classic Greek Mythological names)....I kind of am going for the F everyone I am doing what I want....I have been through hell and back, so everyone should just be happy we are finally here.
Im sure we will have a few arguments about it.
