Hi girls! Just checking in and hope everyone is doing good.

 

[honeycheeks]

congratulations Chris. Wishing you a very happy 9 months followed by a little bundle of joy . I am so very excited for you.

Kathy and bubu - Sending you lots of and keeping you in my prayers and thoughts.

How are you Mommies and Mommies-to-be?

 

[MoBaby]

Hi ladies just wanted to check in!
Bubu do you have an update??
Chris: did you get another beta this weekend?

Hope everyone (in the US) had a great Thanksgiving!

Hi Ladies :wave:
Well yesterday I went for the second (stim day 9) u/s and b/w. The follies were still a bit on the small side - there were roughly 10-11, ranging from 5mm-just under 20mm. So RE wanted me to stim for two more days. Progesterone was at 1,2 yesterday (which is higher than it was last ICSI in July on CD11 by .1)... he seemed confident that we would still do a fresh transfer, guess it depends on my bloods tomorrow. I have another u/s and b/w tomorrow, but he was confident I would be triggering tomorrow night with ER on Wednesday morning. So ET on Monday 9th. I am really excited that this will be the first time that I have had my RE doing all the u/s, the ER and the ET. I have always had someone different at one point during the treatment. Perhaps that is a good omen? Oh and because the ER + ET have moved back on day, it will mean that my acupuncture appointment will be on the day that I have ET...
So I am hoping that everything aligns, praying that we have good fertilisation and embie development - and that we can do a fresh transer on the 9th (which would mean beta#1 on the 15th and #2 on the 18th).

Kathy - how are things with you Honey?

I also hope that those of you who celebrate Thanksgiving had a very special and happy day!

Hi Everyone! I'm sorry for being SO MIA. The start to this school year has been CRAZY!!! We have a bunch of new curriculum, a new principal, and a new evaluation system. I have been keeping track because workload is a big conversation at school and since school started I haven't had a single week I haven't worked 65+ hours a week between time at school, stuff I bring home, and working on the weekends. Between that and being tired baking my peanut, I haven't had much of a chance to be on here. I check in on my fb and LOVE being able to keep up with a lot of you there.
Pregnancy wise, things are going well. I can't believe I am already 25 weeks along. As of today, 100 days until my edd. CRAZY!!! The peanut is sitting on a nerve or keeps going back to it so I have hot, shooting pain in my left leg. It comes and goes which is good (I would hate it to be all the time) but that and being tired are really my only big complaints. I still just feel so blessed that this is actually happening!
How are all of you? Hopefully doing well! I miss being able to be on here. I am looking forward to conferences being over this week and then winter break so I can get some time to sit down and catch up with everyone!
I wanted to let you know I think of you all often! Back to conference prepping for me. Have a GREAT day!!!

So quite in here.

Chris I hope your beta went well on Friday.

Kathy: How's the stimming going?

Honey: How are you?

Bubu: So exciting! I do hope your RE is the magic touch you needed. Good luck with your bloods and scan tomorrow.

BOMO: That must be tough working so much while preggo. I hope you get a break soon.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving.

AFM: Taking the babes to see Santa tomorrow. Wish me luck, they are going through a real shy phase. Two babies crying on Santa's knee photo soon to come. Chris is crawling now so he's keeping me busy. Emma still just rolls everywhere.

Hope all is well with everyone!

 

[Mamali]

Hello , hope everyone is doing great?

My baby is full term today , can't believe it. How time flies, am a bit nervous and anxious, can't wait to meet my little miracle!!! Anyone had a virginal birth on here? Any advice? I know sometimes things don't turn out the way you want them to, or the way you planned, but for now am having a virginal birth, so any advice will be much appreciated, thanks.

 

[bubumaci]

How exciting Mamali!

BOMO - lovely to hear from you. Such a shame that you have so much going on - I hope you get to relax soon!

Kathy ... what's your news?

Chris - haven't seen any updates here or on FB? Is everything OK???

AFM - u/s and b/w today went well. Looks like we have 10 perfect follies, lining looks perfect and my b/w is showing nice levels of everything too .. progesterone seems to be behaving itself So I have to inject the trigger shots tonight, at 11pm and again at midnight. ER appointment is 8:30 Wednesday morning (well, that's when I have to be there ... the ER itself will be later (have to get prepped etc.).

I guess now I have to start praying that our retrieval and fertilisation rate is good. Until our last try, our fertilisation rates were amazing (considering the fact that DH has barely anything for them to pick from) - but our embryos were the best ever last time. I really hope that they fertilise nicely and -more than anything else - develop well this time! *pray*

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

HI ladies

Mamali....such exciting times

Bubu...Jenn...I trigger tonight!!!!! They had me go an extra day and boy am I feeling the bloat! On my left I had follies measuring 17-20 with some smaller ones and on my right they measured 16-18 with some smaller ones as well.... I'm all sorts of excited...nervous...anxious... lol....

How do you feel Bubu?

 

[bubumaci]

OMG ... Kathy ... we really are doing it all in tandem again *GRIN* Both triggering tonight. My RE had me go two days longer than originally planned and I am soooo with you on the bloated feeling. I feel like my abdomen is full of golf balls (my acupuncturist laughed when I described it to her like that today - she said it's nice that I can see it with humour *lol*). And feeling like you too ... nervous, anxious, hopeful... and yet at the same time calm - because I believe that everything has to fall into place this time

 

[Swepakepa3]

Congrats on b/g twins!! Yay!! Good to hear from you

 

[never2late70]

Wow! I haven't been on here in months. I am so happy to see that BUBU and Kathy are both stimming tonight. I'll be sending prayers and positive energy to both of you!

Mamali: Any day now. I'd like to guess girl for you!

Congratulations on your BFP Chris

Nobody really goes on our Faceboook group to post so I just thought I'd pop in and see how everyone is doing.

Thinking about you all.

Prayers and Blessings,
~Angie

 

[Jenn76]

Yeah Mamali! Good Luck with the delivery. I tried vaginal but ended up having an emergency c-section. My only advice is epidural!

Congrats Swepakepa! Best of both worlds.

Yeah Kathy and Bubu! Good luck with triggering. Can't wait to hear how ER goes!

 

[Jenn76]

Visit with Santa, sorry it's sideways not sure how to fix that.

 

[GettingBroody]

Jenn - lovely pic! They're getting so big! And no tears either

Bubu & Kathy - I can't believe ye are both triggering tonight!! Sending ye all the luck in the world! xxxx

Mamali - lol, a virginal birth would be quite impressive! I highly recommend the gas and air - wonderful, wonderful stuff!!

Swepa - team purple! Congrats!

BOMO - hope you get to relax soon! I'm getting tired just reading about it!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Kathy - I will be thinking of you and your trigger in my sleep
