MAY we all be blessed with baby! May 2013 and beyond (BFFs Seeking BFPs)

[RaeChay]

Excited for you for Saturday newbie!!

Athena- the 20 week scan is so much fun. FX for all good news!

Profwife- there is more time to nap than you'd think; unfortunately it's the long stretches of restorative sleep that are hard to come by. Definitely nap as much as you can when baby comes (wouldn't it be nice if you could bank sleep though?).

As far as fatigue- some lucky people (like me) are just extra tired throughout pregnancy. But it should get better as compared to first tri!

 

[ProfWife]

YAY for SATURDAY! Can't wait to hear great news! Have you determined 1 vs 2 for this FET?

 

[momwithbabies]

That moment when you post of BNB just so your period would start...

I'm missing my period but not even sure when/if I ovulated. I think I had sex a grand total of twice this cycle, lol.

I'm still catching up on here, but it looks like lots of good news and progress!!!

It's been crazy-busy in life, but I made it past the year anniversary of my miscarriage. It wasn't easy, but I did it.

 

[kksy9b]

Newbie- awesome news!!!

Athena- hope the scan went well for you did your LO cooperate with gender??

Clande- sorry that the fatigue has continued. I hope you get a burst of energy soon!

Mom-

Prof- its easier to get a nap in those newborn days because they sleep so much! Shower? No, but sleep isn't bad (just very broken but lots of opportunity).

AFM, I'm 1 dpo (will confirm with temps in coming days) so back in the tww!

 

[newbie2013]

Lots of exciting stuff happening with us right now!

Momwithbabies, twice still gives you two chances...

Good luck for you scan!

Doc said yesterday that he wants to transfer two. We're ok with that especially since last time was a spectacular failure. He did mention the possibility of three (I only have 3 frozen), but I'm quite uncomfortable with that. Dh and I always joke that we have such bad luck and knowing us, if three were transferred, three would stick. Putting back two and only leaving one frozen also risks having a wasted cycle if we prep for a cycle and the remaining one doesn't survive the thaw, but I think I'd prefer a wasted cycle than triplets! I didn't get a chance to speak to dh about it last night but I think he'll feel the same. If so, we'll transfer two... and probably end up with either nothing or twins!

 

[ProfWife]

Most of my friends who transferred two ended up with singles. I do have two friends who transferred three and both have triplets.

The freezing and thawing techniques have gotten so much better over the years. I don't know of anyone personally who had one not survive the thaw (although I've had several who didn't have any survive to freeze).

Hope the next few days fly by for you so we can get you to the PUPO stage!

 

[kksy9b]

Yay newbie!!! Not much longer now at all! FX at least one sticks

 

[melann13]

Yay Newbie!! So exciting!

momwithbabies- It's hard to get through it... but you did it. I still think about it on the anniversary of our MC, and it was 3.5yrs ago. This year I realized it the day after and felt horridly guilty that I had forgotten.
Will pray that AF stays away.

Profwife- I do miss those random naps... The are very renewing- help you get through the nights

 

[athena87]

Yes baby cooperated, though at first we weren't sure since the legs were crossed. But then he cooperated and we're having another boy!

 

[athena87]

This is his crossed legs. We are having a reveal party for our families this weekend.

 

[kksy9b]

Congratulations!!! I'm sure your LO will love having a brother!

 

[melann13]

Congrats Athena!

 

[RaeChay]

congrats athena!!

newbie I am SO excited for saturday.

mwb - I know how hard anniversaries are. kmfx for you still.

 

[athena87]

Thanks ladies. We are excited!

 

[kksy9b]

Got my crosshairs today so officially 3 dpo! Heading out of town this afternoon and will get back in time to start testing at 8dpo. I might wait a few extra days, but I have a bunch of sticks stockpiled so will probably start early again

 

[ClandestineTX]

GL kksy!

 

[newbie2013]

Congratulations! Your lo will love having a little brother!

Yay for ovulation! Always exciting...

We're going in at 12 midday on Saturday. Nervous but excited. Dh says we should follow the advice of the doctor with how many to put back. I'm still not keen to put back 3. Too risky. Definitely don't want to tempt fate with the chance of triplets!

 

[RaeChay]

I am not educated about IVF at all, but this is kind of how I'd look at putting 3 back:

1) you have the terrifying risk of triplets (not impossible but NOT what you want...as if one newborn isn't hard/expensive enough). I know for us, this would mean that I'd have to put any thoughts of getting my master's/doctorate on hold for at least 6 years...and I'd have to quit my job probably before the babies were even due (risk of bedrest).

2) Let's say you transfer three and only one stick. You think "well I'm glad we did all 3 after all." BUT each egg would've given you a 33% chance of a sticky, with no way to know if that 3rd egg was "the one." It could've been that if you transferred 1 or 2, the "one" would've been included. Or, if you transfer two and neither stick, you still have the third available, with no risk of triplets.

This isn't even considering the possibility that one of them SPLIT. Which can happen. So even if you transfer two, you can end with 3.

So that's how my logic works... as I said, I really have little knowledge of how IVF goes, or the statistics on sticky probability on subsequent IVF transfers when previous transfers failed. It would be worth checking into. It may also be worth looking at probability of splitting?

Anyways, excited

 

[newbie2013]

FET day!!!

 

[kksy9b]

Good luck!!!! What have you decided to do with how many to put back?
