ok so who wants to get pregnant in 2011? (closed group)

[nypage1981]

Sarah- I guess that will tell you something if you can't do it this cycle , just wasn't meant to be! So, do they say the cyst will go away on its own? Sucks to have a cyst that may interfere with things after you had that stupid polyp. I do hope that you have surges on the LH strips so it can all work out this cycle, but if not, then at least you wont have any guilt about being due in May. But if it does, yay!!! I was hoping it would be your bfp cycle since its the one that isn't totally "perfect" with the due date.....seems like life is funny that way.

Preethi- im anxious to hear about your scan. I hope its good or at least not worse. Thinking of you.

 

[nypage1981]

Oh, apparently one pic randomly sent through, I was tring to load my 4d pics and none would work....except that one? I will do more later.

 

[sarahincanada]

sheryl i'm really sorry to hear about your hubby's job situation. Fx'd he gets the job at his brother's plant.

Sarah - i hope you get some answers soon. I personally woulnd't recommend going for more than 2 night's without dtd, but that's just me. And if it turns out that the IUI must be on Friday then I would recommend dtd on thurs and then fri night - that way you are covered naturally even if you have to cancel the IUI.

thanks huggles, but the problem is that the clinic wants you to abstain for 3 days for the IUI, so thats where it gets complicated

 

[sarahincanada]

omg NY love that pic!!! truly amazing

 

[Dew]

Thanks ladies! hope you all are doing well

So, I am expecting AF tomorrow. Feeling down but keeping relatively calm. Sarah, FS appointment is on the 24th (next week/next wednesday). After a lot of thinking, I have decided not to take clomid this cycle. I do ovulate naturally and would like FS to do tests on me (if any) in an 'un-medicated as it has naturally been so far' form in order to hopefully understand our situation better. Also, I do not want to take risk of thinning my lining or inducing cyst formation. Sorry if I sound unknowledgeable because I really am in this respect. I feel guilty on accepting that I always thought miscarriage, infertility issues, IUI, IVF are not for me and I don't belong to group that discuss these issues Well, now I really don't know what future holds for me but I very much want to have two healthy babies.

Sheryl, sorry about DH's job situation. You have been optimistic for so long and I am sure things will work out soon for you two. Best wishes

Preethi, glad that you like your neonatologist. Good luck with scan...will wait to read an update from you.

NY, how was the scan? Did you enjoy seeing the baby? share your experience!!

Huggles, glad baby is happy inside of you

Sarah, good luck! hoping for the best for you my friend

Haven't heard from NDH in a while. Hope she is doing well too.

Take care you all

 

[Huggles]

omg ny - that scan pic is GORGEOUS!

Dew - thinking of you and sending hugs your way

AFM - i had a bit of a dodgy tummy the last two days, so wasn't feeling great. But thankfully it seems to be on the mend now. Not sure if it was something i ate or a bug, just glad it's feeling better again.

 

[Huggles]

eek, just sent off the booking forms and paid the deposit for my hypnobirthing classes! They start in 2 weeks! I'm so nervous now but super excited.

I had booked and paid the deposit for them last time, and then everything went wrong just weeks before they started. So i contacted the lady months ago already and said i was very keen to do it this time but was scared to book and pay before 26 weeks. But the classes start at 28 weeks. She was super nice and really understanding, so said she'd keep me a spot but i can wait until i'm ready before i officially book and pay.
Apparently the course i'm doing is already fully booked, but she had kept me a spot so that's good. So now i've taken teh plunge and gone for it! Big big step for me.

OMG, and just realised today is the 100 day countdown!!!

 

[Dew]

Huggles: Hope you are feeling better now Wow! I can totally understand how cautiously excited you must be for the hynobirthing class. 100 days countdown sounds awesome and needs some celebration I will let the usual party hosts to do the honor

 

[nypage1981]

huggles- good job booking the class. Dont feel scared, be excited that you made it far enough to book it!

Dew- hugs, and well wishes for you today as your stupid AF comes and bothers you once again. Hope its short and your FS gives some answers. I am the type who wants answers for unexplained stuff, so infertility sure is hard to handle since most of the time there is no explanation. Can't wait to hear next week what they had to say.

My scan was so neat. Mainly because we remember 6 weeks ago, and to SEE the progress is just amazing. He no longer moves with very much space in there, and his face is filled out a lot more! At one point the tech took that ultrasound probe and kinda shook on my tummy to try to move his butt and legs out from his face, well, it shook his boy parts so seeing that on screen was funny. He did that in 2D, but when he went to 4D after that, my little guy put his hand in front of his face and flicked us off. Im sure he didn't mean to do such a thing to mommy and daddy, silly baby! I will upload pics later.

Sarah- I would call the clinic and get the instructions on when to BD! Seems like something you don't want to mess up when you are paying for IUI.

Any pregnant ladies want to share what name they've chosen? I am still debating and have a hard time deciding on a name but need to get that done soon!

 

[Huggles]

lol, must have been so funny watching his boy bits jiggle like that!
I'm getting excited for our 4D scan in 3.5 weeks' time.

We're also undecided on names. We kind of have a first name. And most of the time agree on a second name (after weeks of not having one!). But now dh is worried it's all too long (the second name we've chosen is rather long and our surname is 10 letters long). So not 100% sure anymroe. Not sure if i want to share it yet though cos we're pretty set on keeping it a surprise untila fter the birth.

 

[nypage1981]

I will prbably keep mine a surprise only because I dont know until the birth! Hahah. I've already told family and friends my ideas though so its not much of a surprise.

You will LOVE your scan. They're addicting so when you leave you really really want to see your baby some more I watched the video when I got home on both times that we had one done. Just gotta wait 8 weeks to really see my little man now!

Happy 100 days to go!

 

[sarahincanada]

hi everyone! just popping on before I leave for a day in toronto with my family....going over to the islands on the ferry and up the CN tower so will be fun.

dew I think thats a good plan, incase they want to do some tests. I think you will feel more optimistic once you get going....I remember when the FS suggested clomid I felt a little down thinking wow it has come to that, and I thought no Im going to try naturally for 3 more months as I just wasnt ready. Well I had the 1 unsuccessful month and that was enough, I went for it! it will be a natural progression, and Im hoping things work quickly for you! I suppose I always had in my head we would probably need fertility help as I knew we were leaving it so late....but it was the risk we took as we were building our careers and I didnt want hubby to feel too young (he is turning 30 this year....at last!!!)

huggles WOW so you will be in double digits tomorrow then? what a milestone, you should be very proud of yourself and Im sure that little angel beside you is proud too

 

[sarahincanada]

preethi I thought of you when reading the english news today....this 'celebrity' had a baby 10 weeks early and he is doing well. (I use celebrity very loosely, she is not really famous for anything!!)

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowb...eleased-hospital-hes-born-10-weeks-early.html

 

[nypage1981]

Lol sarah its funny how for us, its opposite. During our 2 years of TTC, it wasn't my age (turned 30 this year), that stressed me out, it was OH's who turned 35 this year. I was just afraid of him getting older and older and no babies! Even though its us women who have the issues after certain age, not them!

 

[Dew]

Honestly speaking I never understood 2d scans and never could appreciate 4d scans as I felt baby looks like an alien in 4d (sorry) but now when I hear NY talk about all those cute things she saw on her scans, I think I am gradually warming to the idea of 4d baby scans.

Huggles: good luck with yours!

 

[Dew]

Sarah: lol @ at last (he is turning 30 this year....at last!!!)

Thanks for your support and have a great day with family!

 

[nypage1981]

Dew I used to really think- Stupid, 4D scans are weird! But yes, I took the plunge for this pregnancy and really glad I did. I dont think it gave away any surprises, as you really dont know exactly what they look like still, and he looked much less alien than I expected. Just seeing them "live" in there and do the things he is doing each day warmed my heart so much. Its watching them before they are out, and Idk, can't really explain that but it felt really special I guess.

it was BNB that made me want one- with my daughter 7 years ago, i had NO idea they existed and feel bad that I didnt do one....but technology just wasnt that popular for those I guess.

 

[Dew]

NY: I was seriously blown away by your first 4-d scan pictures and description of your scan video. I told DH all about it and wanted to be pregnant more than ever so we can experience the same too. I can only imagine how ecstatic you both must feel during the scan. Did you bring your daughter along?

 

[Huggles]

We weren't going to have a 4D scan last time - i kind of thought it was a waste of money because to me the babies never look the same on the scan as they do when born (although my cousin swears her kids looked exactly the same as the scan - i never agreed). But then the lady that did our FA scan happened to be the same lady that does the 4D scans, so she kept switching between 2D and 4D and that was nice. But we still weren't going to pay for a later one - that was at about 22 weeks (last time). But it was nice to have, but not something i would have spent extra money having done.

So this time we again weren't going to have one done. I get normal 2D scans every 3-4 weeks anyway so didn't see the point. The people we went to for the FA scan were a specialist clinic, so didn't switch to 4D at all. So didn't get that one like last time. So haven't seen him in 4D yet. And then i started seeing pics and videos on BnB of people having them done, and my friend went as she got a free with one her hospital booking in (different hospital network to where i'm going), and i started reconsidering my idea. But still didn't fancy spending the money. Then there was a half price special on groupon and it was like a sign. So we bought it! And now i'm really looking forward to it. Booked it for 29+2 because i'm really hoping that by then he's filling out and looks nice and chubby LoL

 

[babyhopes2323]

sarah, thanks for the link, i do know who danielle lloyd and most of the uk celebs are xxx it is very encouraging xx
enjoy time with your family... and fx'd for you xxxxxxxx

dew, fx'd the 24th brings you answers xxx

Ny, really cute pic !! xx

huggles, happy 100 days.. how exciting it must be for you xxxx

afm, had ,my scan but it wasnt a growth scan, just a doppler scan to check the blood flow from baby to brain and baby to placenta, all looked good, growth scans are done every two weeks and doppler scans to check blood flow every week.

i had a massive scare today absolutely no movements except for one and had to go in to get checked.. my lovely doctor, got a call from the nurses about my ctg, and even though it was normal, he came into the hospital at 10:30 at night even though he dosent work in that hospital, and did a scan for me and said dont ever feel stupid for coming in, your case is so high risk that even if you come in twice a day, we would have to check you.. and he looked at baby, she looked fine etc, but he said lets draw the line at 32 weeks, i will speak to your other doctor about it as well, seems like september 1st or 2nd - 32weeks + 4 or + 5 seems reasonable to have a caesarean as its better to get a small baby out than leave a small baby in and deliver when its distressed,. i was shocked at hearing this because that is only 2 weeks and two days away !!! i cant believe he says i might have to have my baby in two weeks and two days or so.. he also asked me to come in on thursday for a complimentary visit and scan to see how baby is doing as with my levels of fluid and size of baby etc, he wants to keep constant tabs on me, and basically i have two doctors working on me because my ob gyn is leaving the hospital i was seeing him at , and joining this clinic with another high risk doctor and they are running this business, but will deliver their patients at a different hospital. my ob gyn is contractually bound to his old hospital until the 31st of august and so wont be able to operate on me until then, but if i need the surgery on the 30th or before then it will be his new partner who would be operating on me so both are working together on my case.. its all come as a shock now to know that i will mostly be having my baby at 32 weeks which is anywhere from the 29th of august - 2nd of september.. im not sure when,. but will let you all know when i get a fixed date.,. im scared, anxious and worried that my journey being pregnant ends so soon and that baby is going to be 8 weeks early..im worried for her, but it might be better for her out of my womb if shes not growing inside, i dont know.. i will get to know more details soon, but for now, this is whats happening.. and i dont have a c-section date yet, but most likely theyre looking at 32 weeks. i dont know what to feel.. xxx
