Sticking Together Crew

Tracey I dont think so.. babies really seem to come whenever.. and each one is different.. my sister went early with her first two..like 37 weeks then went to 39 with her third.. so its all up to baby.. I do know no matter i will go at 39 which is when they would induce me and i can have a sweep at 38.. so whatever happens happens i guess..

and your not ignorant.. it was a good question.. just depends i think on the baby

 

[lilrojo]

Oh and Mckenna was 39 weeks.. so not that early.. i started contracting at 36 was checked at 37 to be 1cm, and was checked two weeks later at 39 (dr didnt want to check me every week) was 3cm and had mckenna the next morn at 7:42 am.. so if things go the same i could very easily be having peanut in 2 weeks time.. just making sure im prepared.. hoping i dont need to be but ...

 

[Traskey]

It's always good to be prepared! I'm excited to see if it's a son or a daughter for you. I'm super impressed both you and Jen have stayed team green. I'd never have lasted

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Whenever I get tempted (like when I'm shopping!) I think of the surprise at the end and how awesome it's gonna be.

 

[lilrojo]

I agree with Jen.. although i never waited with McKenna no way would i have lasted with her.. but her circumstances were not the same.. we were sent to a bigger hospital cuz they though there was something wrong with her and it ended up being nothing so we found out the sex as a bit of reward lol..

It has been hard not knowing but i cant wait to find out..

Morning all!

Had a little get together with some friends last night - was soo nice to get outa the house for a bit...also got a few pressies which is always lovely!!! So the house is pretty baby ready now...well apart from the kitchen, we had a new ceiling put up on wednesday so DH needs to clean up, pain and put all the kitchen stuff back in whcih is currently on the dinning room table...but you know know other then that!



Rach - think that good advise bout what to wear .... have put a compfy pair of tracky bottoms to one side to wear going into hospital and bag is more or les packed now...hopefully not to long to wait!!

fx'd your baby shows up soon Vick!!!

heres me at 39 weeks!

 

[Traskey]

Wow, look at you Sarah, you look amazing!

Stacey, saw your FB status are you ok?

Shamelessly copied from my journal as i'm on a super short lunch break!

It's all looking good. I have 18 follicles so far and she suspects a few more that were hiding She could see them when she pressed hard but said she wasn't going to worry about trying to measure them as it would be sore.

Even better this time is that they are all much closer in size and more even. Last time I had some biggies, some medium and some stragglers. At the moment my biggest is 18 and I have a lot around the 12-15 mm size. There are no real stragglers this time and none under 10mm.

So, I won't egg collect on Monday, they'd like more of them 15mm now to be 18mm on the day (as they keep growing). So i'll likely be back in Monday morning for a scan and collecting Tue/Wed/Thur.

She asked how many we were putting back this time, we said two. She said that our last embryo was perfect and so they wouldn't have wanted to put two back last cycle on a first attempt. They'll allow it this time as i'm almost 40 and we've had one failed ICSI. My clinic will also now only freeze blastocysts (day 5) and if perfect, so it's less than 10% apparently. I don't feel quite so bad now that I didn't get any last time, now that they've explained it.

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Wow, Tracey, everything sounds great! An exciting week for you next week! Lots and lots and lots and lots of your way!!

Sarah-- great bump!! Looks like a boy. Any symptoms?

Stacey-- hope you feel better. And a belated happy 26 weeks!! Whew! It's going fast!!

I sort of found out DS's sex by surprise... It wasn't that we had intended to wait, but I had no idea I'd be getting a scan at my first appt and that the dr would be able to tell so early. So when she asked if I wanted to know, I said yes. Actually, I said, "You can tell this early??!!" THEN I said yes.
But I'm glad we found out. With first children, there are so many other things that are new and surprising and exciting, without me adding any extra excitement.

 

[sept10]

Sounds good tracy!!!!

Jen - yep most people say boy, we think boy too so we will see soon enough.

oh and heres my first couple of knitting projects finished off.....

 

[sspencer99]

Ohh sarah lovely bump

And Tracey soo pleased for you and excited I can't wait hehe

Im ok i geuss could have been worse a bus nearly hit my car and I slammed the breaks on Tracey seatbelt saved my life I geuss but not my ribs Wichita have come off rather sore
Ava was not affected and has been rather active to prove herself lol xxx

 

[QueenVic]

Omg stace scary! Glad u and Ava are ok

Trace thats great news !! Cant wait for the next update, thinking of u

Sarah lovely bump, nearly there !!

AFM - Dr thinks pickle has got himself into an awkward position and with his elbow up by his head.. blah... so only 1/5 engaged and can't move himself any further down at the moment..

Have a scheduled sweep on Mon and Dr has suggested they do a scan to check position if it doesn't feel like he has moved by then..

What are the chances ?

 

[Isabel209]

hi girls i rreally need help at the moment. i am dealing with an ectopic pregnancy. i am 10 weeks pregnant. today had to decide between making a surgery, laparoscopy, with the risk of losing one tube or take the medicine Methotrexate. its the medicine to help induce miscarriage when having an ectopic pregnancy.

so i just decided to take the shot of Meth. But i am scared that it increases the risk of another ectopic or can cause birth defects in the long term.. doctor told me not to try for 6 months to be safe! i am waiting for it to arrive in my country because we dont have it here.

what do you think about it? is it safer than the surgery? what are the side effects to it?

i really need support from you girls. please help me

 

[AmaryllisRed]

Isabel-- sorry, I haven't been through that and really don't know anything about it.

Vicki-- have you been doing lots of yoga to try and get pickle to move? When Crumb is in an uncomfortable position, I get down on all fours and wiggle around and that usually convinces him/her to move. Of course, Pickle is more limited on space at the moment and might be comfy... Come on, pickle, mommy wants you OUT!!

Sarah-- how cute!! And very nicely neutral. I need to learn to knit...

Stacey-- I'm so glad you came out of it okay. How scary. But it's probably very comforting that ava has been moving around so you know she's alright.

 

[lilrojo]

So sorry to hear what you are going through.. Im not a good one to help though as my miscarriages have all been natural..

Sarah beautiful bump and cute hats.. wish i could do stuff like that lol..

Vicki hope pickle moves his arm so we can all meet him soon..

Hope everyone is well..

AFM been crampy off and on still but im sure dtd didnt help last night.. lol seriously i know tmi but i have been in the mood for like forever so i thought why not.. never felt this way with mckenna.. lol So its snowing here has been for awhile so not doing anything today.. hoping to get out tomorrow to get groceries.. ugh.. Still need to get ready as im in my pjs.. mckenna didnt sleep the best so i didnt either.. oh well i guess hopefully tonight..

Have a good day everyone

 

[QueenVic]

Sorry Isabel I don't think any of us have experience of this.. you really need to speak to someone who knows what they're talking about

Jen I do a yoga class on a Sat but I will try some moves at home as it can't hurt ! I don't know wether to go to class tomorrow or not.. at 6 days over ? Will probably be ok as be surprised if anything kicks off that early after the appointment I just had!

Just found out a girl from hypno due day after me is being induced on Sunday as they won't let her go far over (she's had dvt before) eek that just leaves me as the others have all had their babies - aww she really didn't want to be as everything goes out the window then! PLEASE COME BEFORE I HAVE TO BE INDUCED PICKLE !!!

Logan I need to resort to dtd this weekend I think !

 

[FloridaGirl21]

Isabel, I'm sorry hun I've never been through an ectopic, not even known anyone personally that has been so I don't have any advise. It's crazy that they ruled out the possibility before and now they are telling you that's what's wrong Sounds like they maybe need to get their act together.... sorry hun

Stacey, crazy about the almost accident! Thank goodness you're okay, sorry about your ribs hurting though

 

[lilrojo]

Haha vicki hope it helps you.. i just cramped and contracted a ton then it stopped.. but it did go on alot of the night.. but now today im back to normal.. contracting on and off more off than on though..

 

[truthbtold]
