New - BFP after IVF

[Buster1]

Yay for kicks Urchin. That must be so exciting.

Had my doctors appointment today and everything is looking good. The doctor gave me a perscription for zofan to help me while I'm flying. I sure hope it does the trick because flying with MS is the pits. I'm 10w 2d today but we were unable to hear the heartbeats with just the dopplar so my doctor was kind enough to squeeze us in to get a scan, because she didn't want us to leave with out hearing or seeing the heartbeat. She's a fantastic doctor and that was so kind of her. So we got to see the kids and they are doing great! It even looked like one waved at me during the scan. Dh said it looked like the baby wast fist pumping. LOL All in all it was a good appointment. Next appointment is on July 5th, and I'm just waiting for a call from the specialist so that I can schedule my genetic screening.

Hope the rest of you ladies and your beans are doing well and that those suffering from morning sickness find relief very soon. Take care everyone.

that's fab Buster ... they have all passed their exams and are suitably qualified, but what sets Drs apart is whether they can see you as a whole person (who has worries and fears that they can dispel) or just a collection of body parts and symptoms
Sounds like you got a good un!

Buster - that is great news. So happy to hear that your doctor was so wonderful and let you hear the heartbeats, how very beautiful. I hope the meds help make you feel better. I know that Zofran is supposed to be a miracle drug so hopefully it will do the trick for you and you will be feeling better in no time at all. Congrats!

Hi all,

Buster that must have been so nice hearing the heartbeats, lovely reassurance everything is ok. xx

Well I had my 12 week scan today, cant believe I have made it to 12 weeks, feels like it has taken so long to come round. Hoping things start to move a bit quicker now and I can start buying things too. YEY. xx It really is amazing how much jelly bean has changed in the past 3 weeks since last scan. See pics below. first from 8w5d and other from today at 11w6d. xx

Wishing - so very happy for you, what beautiful pictures. And, you are so right it is amazing the difference between the two pictures. Now you have me excited for my next scan which isn't even scheduled yet. YEAH, great news.

 

[wishingalways]

Thanks Rozzi, how far along are you now. You need to get yourself a tracker so we can all keep up. xxxx

 

[Buster1]

Wishing those are great pics. You must have been so excited to see your little one and he/she looks great.

 

[urchin]

lovely pics Wishing - it's amazing how quickly they start to look like little humans isn't it?
At 8 weeks Eenie was a gummy bear, but by 12 weeks she looked a lot more human and at 20 she was a proper tiny person!

It really is such a miracle

 

[rozzigirl]

Wishing - I have to admit that I don't know how to do a little tracker for myself, I can't figure it out. I'm 9 weeks now tomorrow is my first visit with the new OB!

Been to my second scan a few days ago and we had a huge surprise:i have twins,not only a singleton. I'm terrified!

[urchin]

wow BH - two for you!

very scary, but oh so lovely

 

[Buster1]

Congrats Babyhopes!! I'm glad to have someone else on here with double trouble. LOL

Don't worry I was totally freaked out at first, but in time you get more comfortable with the idea. (But I still freak out every now and then) Again huge congrats to you.

 

[wishingalways]

Wow babyhopes how amazing and what a surprise. xxxxxx

Hi - where has everyone gone? Hope you are all doing well.

My ms has finally started easing, although not sure how much of that is the drugs! Still very sick from about 8pm and on and off through the day, but manageable and can even get soem work done some days!!

Had my 12 week scan on Tuesday - was wonderful. Baby looked perfect and measures a day or two ahead. Only downer was I have a few fibroids so she siad I need to be kept an eye on by a consultant - she didnt seem too worried that they would effect baby, so concentrating on the good stuff.

What is everyone else up to? Anyone else had scans recently?

 

[Buster1]

Had my NT scan yesterday and the twins got a good report card. I'm at 12w 3d so they are right on schedule. Now if I could just get a handle on the nausea and fatigue I would be in good shape. LOL

 

[mrsmax]

Good news about the NT Buster - we arent having tests i couldnt stand anymore upset!! Glad yours went well. I am with you on the nausea and fatigue - even with the drugs I couldnt keep tonight's dinner (steamed veggies) down Hoping it eases off soon.

Annouced to close friends in the last few days and it is so wonderful to share good news. Going live on FB at weekend - although friend already semi-outed me as she posted "Huge congrats - you must be so chuffed! on my wall!! Oops....

Hi Mrs M

I had a 4D scan on Saturday more pics in my journal, but thought I'd put one here for you

All is well at Urchin Towers - nursery is finished and I love going in there and just looking at it

Good to hear about your scan and a happy looking 12 weeker ... I've got a fibroid too that they're keeping an eye on - will be getting scans every 3 weeks from 28 weeks, but I am resolutely NOT WORRYING

Yaaay for you too buster - glad you're doing well too xxx

 

[Buster1]

I love the 4D scan. So cute and your nursery is beautiful. You did a really nice job.

Mrsmax oops for your friend semi outing you on facebook. Dh just put it on his facebook page. We've been letting people slowly know for the last few weeks now. I just told him we can officially put it out there now. But it's funny I still haven't put it on my page just yet. I'll get around to it at sometime I guess. LOL

 

[wishingalways]

Hi everyone,

Just got back from my hols today and finally feeling a lot better. The dizziness, breathlessness, fatigue, nausea is all gone and I have actually done a lot of walking this week down in York where we went for a week with our friends, so heres hoping you all feel better soon.

I'm starting to get an obvious bump now too although it does depend on what I wear and my bump is twice the size at night time compared to when I get up in the morning.

Urchin your 4d scan is awesome and your nursery is just gorgeous. We have just finished decorating the big bedroom so we can move our 9 year old into that room and then work will start on the nursery.. cant wait, hoping I can resist going mad. xx

Mrs Max, sorry your still feeling crappy... so glad your 12 week scan was really good... where's the pics, we love a scan pic. xx I announced it on FB the day of my 12 week scan, I couldn't wait any longer and there was soo many people to tell, the reactions you get are amazing and a lot of my friends knew how long we had been trying so a few tears where shed with the lovely messages. xx

Buster so glad the little twins are doing good, would love to see a pic. Are you getting a bump yet... I can only imagine what i would look like if I had two in there. I have been off work for 4 weeks so they are all going to be shocked at how much Ive grown since they last saw me.. but I still think for the people that dont know I am still at the stage where it just looks like fat.. LOL so probably wont get any comments for a while. xxx

Does anyone have any holidays planned before babys arrival. I am really wanting to look at holidays for next year, and my friends since coming back today have already said they would love to book for next year... a little nervous about booking something for a baby that isnt born yet but also want to get a good hotel at a good price. xxx

 

[Buster1]

Wishing glad you had a great holiday, and yay for a bump. I am starting to get a little bump. But like you it depends on what I'm wearing and what time of day it is. I am going to start looking into getting some maternity pants, shorts, etc. My little bump is making my pants tight. But I am able to get away with non maternity tops, at least for now.

Looks like I'm ready to be taken out of work. I see my ob/gyn this week and I'm going to ask her to do the paper work plus I get my occupational consult on the 11th. Working on the plane is just becoming too much. After about 4 hours working I start to feel pressure in my belly and just get really uncomfortable. We have all worked hard to get our babies and we're not going to do anything to risk their health. Therefore once I do my classroom training on the 9th I'm going to be out of there.

Hope all you ladies are having a good weekend and that your babies are being good to you. Take care and speak with you all soon.
