BUBU: I have everything crossed for you.

Mo: What a lovely shot. I'm not sure what funneling means though.

Kathy When is your transfer?

AZ: I would take your mom up n her offer. No shame in getting a little help.

Getting how's baby Fia? Do you have any new pictures of her?

Mrs.C Happy you're all back safe and sound from your trip. I don'y know how you did it!

Michelle post a new picture of your short and chubby love..lol

Hope everyone else is doing well

I started a new position in the GI lab at the hospital doing endo procedures. It requires me to work 4 10's and be on my feet pretty much the whole time. I have the most horrid swelling in my feet, ankles and all the way up to my knee's. So painful, but I can't afford to not work. I have my glucose test testing today and will ask my DR if I'm ok. Also TONS of Braxton hicks..

Thinking about you all!
Prayers and blessings,
~Angie

Hey Angie - how lovely to hear from you That is great that you have a new position, but I am sorry to hear how it is taking its toll on you Let us know how the glucose testing goes! I was wondering - could you perhaps wear those tighter stockings (like you can wear on flights) - wouldn't that help against the water retention? I do hope you can find a way to work painlessly!!

 

[Stinas]

Mo - Seriously how cute is that pic!!!

BUBU - I am soooo routing and praying for you!!!

Angie - Congrats on the new position!!!
There are socks that are for diabetes patients to help with circulation….i wear them to work because my ankles swell as well. They help. There are also pregnant stockings I saw the other day which are for swelling as well. They are called Preggers by Therafirm. BuyBuyBaby had them, but there are tons more online.

Hi Angie! Wow, that is a lot of time to be on your feet! Great about your new position though I will post some new pics soon! I just had the boys pictures taken on black friday.

Az - I know how you feel! Dylan started waking up a few times in the night after sleeping 10-12 hours. I actually started giving him some rice cereal at night and that seems to have helped a little. However after his shots Tuesday he has been waking up at least once now

Mo - What is funneling? At least they are keeping close watch on you; although it does stink to go weekly, they are being careful. And cute picture from the scan, I can totally see baby

Thinking about you bubu Praying, sending positive thoughts your way!!!

Funneling is where the cervix starts to open from the inside. Cause is incompetent cervix. Also leads to cervical shortening and if the funneling is too much and the cervix is too short then baby will come early here is a link that describes it https://radiopaedia.org/articles/funneling-of-the-internal-cervical-os

I'm nervous as all but I have to listen to my dr. I am thinking of another opinion about what I need to be doing. I'm not out of work yet or off feet but depending on next week this may change.

I am going to look into the pregnancy compression stockings. They will be good at work and also if I end up on bed rest. They help prevent varicose veins and deal with the swelling.

MoBaby - cute pic! Can't the doctor put in a cerclage to help with the incompetent cervix? I hope all goes well next week and they don't make you go on bed rest.

Kathy - Yaaa for 6 embies, at least now you will be rested and in tip top shape for your transfer! Good luck and lots of

Bubumaci - I can't wait for you to I have such high hopes and good feelings about this one!!! The anticipation is killing me as though it were me!!

Stinas - I'm so excited for you that you felt little kicks, I'm sure it was amazing!

I hope everyone is doing well and is enjoying the Christmas season ( or Hanukkah or whatever you celebrate). I'm trying to be patient but am ready to get the show on the road because waiting let's me always think about the what ifs like what if I didn't miscarry, I would be through my first trimester right after Christmas, those kinds of things and I hate doing that to myself. So bring on the 31st for my testing and then on to January so I can do my 2nd FET!

 

[MoBaby]

I think I'm too far out for a cerclage but everything is going to be great and I'm not going to need any intervention. Keeping my fingers crossed!!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Hi Angie....transfer will not be until next month sometime...not sure when. Congrats on your new position
You have to post a pic of the baby soon
How is everyone doing?

 

[Jenn76]

Bubu: I have everything crossed for you.

Mobaby: Beautiful baby pic! I hope the funneling stops and baby MO stays put for many more weeks. Rest up and let DH look after things for you.

Azlissie: Emma is going through the same thing right now I think it's teething. She is only drinking about about 12 oz a day and waking at night. She refuses her bottles most of the day and will only drink her last bottle of the night. I've tried switching formula, new bottles, sippy cups, Tylenol, orajel, even a drop of quick in her bottle. Nothing works. I can't get much water in her either, so stressful. Hopefully it passes soon. Is Dawson on solids yet? I've been adding formula to all of Emma's food just to get more into her.

Angie: Congrats on the new job!

Thank you Ladies!
I was really upset when I woke up this morning - had another really vivid dream, but not as nice as yesterday's (where I dreamt that on Sunday we got super high HCG values) ... I dreamt that some doctors (no people I know) were telling us that there is no way we will ever be able to have a biological child of our own

@ CD - if I had to wait as long as you guys do for the Beta, then I would test - but since my first blood test is on Sunday at 6dp5dt, there isn't really much point in doing one

 

[GettingBroody]

Bubu - I hate dreams like that. I had the most vivid dreams right before my bfp tho so fx'd!

Hello everyone.

Still keeping everything crossed for you Bubu

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Hello everyone.

Still keeping everything crossed for you Bubu

Hi Sekky!!!! how are you sweetie

 

[bubumaci]

Thank you Sekky!

Quick question. Did any of you experience hot flushes? Apart from waking up really hot, I seem to be getting hot flushes today, getting really hot and then cooling down, in waves. Am hoping that it's hormonal

 

[MoBaby]

Bubu I think it sounds like a great sign!! You go tomorrow for first beta right? Good luck!! I know this is it for you!

Hi sekky!

24 week mark for me today! Important date! Baby now has a chance! Next goal: 28 weeks

 

[bubumaci]

Yay Mo, another important milestone reached!
Yep, tomorrow morning first blood test. Am nervous! Don't think I can handle a negative result. But I am feeling quite good, feeling like the result should be good, don't know why lol.

 

[sekky]

Hello everyone.

Still keeping everything crossed for you Bubu

Hi Sekky!!!! how are you sweetie

Hey you. Am fine taking each day at a time. Just realize I didn't update this thread after my second IVF , so this is what has happened so far and my planned next step. IVF 2 ended bfn in October. So ttc with meds is on hold for a while for us. I joined a gym and since October I have lost 20lbs which I feel really good about. We BD every other day just incase we are lucky (as we are unexplained).

Plan for next year if no surprises; a new RE in a new clinic because I feel am not well managed at my current clinic. I felt like am been used as a lab rat or something. I also plan to do a lap or hysteroscopy if the new RE support my decision to have either of them and be sure all is ok down there.

Then on to 3rd. A quick question for IVF ladies, which curtail did you ladies use? I know most ladies use menopur with another FSH. My old clinic gives me only one med. the first cycle I was on menopur (started with 150iu and went up to 300iu within 12 days). That cycle we got 22 eggs and 18 matured. No frosties.

Second cycle I was on folligarf(never heard it before till I was given at the clinic) 225iu through stimm. We got 18eggs with only 8 matured.

Will love to hear from all you ladies to help me plan for my new RE appointment (yet to make the call) that's it.

I haven't been posting but I have been following all along.

Bubu hoping its hormones. Can't wait for tomorrow and hoping it gives you good news.

 

[sekky]

Happy 24 weeks Mo

 

[bubumaci]

Sekky, that sounds like you are feeling good about things and your plans all sound great! Unfortunately, I never did the down-reg, so I can't help you there! FXd that you do have a nice surprise And that's great that you are feeling so good about yourself + your successful weight loss!

 

[GettingBroody]

Sekky - I was on Buserelin and Menopur... Congrats on the weight loss! Who knows - maybe that'll be the boost your system needs to bring you a surprise bfp! I've always thought it must be very frustrating to be "unexplained" - fx'd 2014 will be your year!

Bubu - will be thinking of you in the morning!!!
