hey hopes, I know I'm huge now thank god I only have 11 more days! hope your Dad gets his tooth sorted that sounds mega painful! ouch. I too have been nauseas last day on and off, hoping its not a bug.

Lew that was nice of work to throw you a little baby shower you lucky girl. Hows the swelling?

Caz lots of for this cycle

Just got home from my kids school fete, they managed to fleece me! And don't get jealous again everyone but I got to see Lilyanne again, Tink was there with her family

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Sorry guys, left comp on. I did log in, then was busy with Lily, then the G.P for some drops for her sticky eye, and then a school fete where Jess was doing majorettes (turned out to be Coral's kids school, :wave: nice seeing ya Coralista )

Not really been given any answers with the heart murmur, they just did the ECG and said they would give them to Lily's pediatrician. If it showed anything serious I'm sure they would have said something surely? Anyhow, will try not to worry

Shattered now! but good to be out and about more.

Babydream, I took B6 but it made it worse, worth a try though honey. Sending you massive hugs x

MC, thanks for being on the look out for me, are you ok now? x

Lew, how lovely to get thrown a little surprise shower at work! I don't blame you for complaining, I complained about leaving the house full stop x

Hopes, message in a min, Lily wants me x

 

[coral11680]

yeah nice to see you too Tink

Swelling seems to be getting worse unforunately...feet and ankles are noticeably big even before I get out of bed....I am hanging in there though.

Tink - I am sure Lily will be fine - although I can understand the worry! I was contemplating getting one of those movement monitors....there is one that clips right to baby's diaper that is called 'Snuza' but wasn't sure if i wanted something right on the baby. I don't get how the sensor under the mattress actually works.....

Coral- 11 DAYS!

Hi girls, I'm sorry for the selfish posts today. Yes hopes I feel exactly like that. Very very tired just want to sleep and vomit. I had a really bad night shift and that didn't help. I went to the pharmacy and I was told I can't get anything I need to see the doc. I've lost 4lb in two days can't eat or drink. I only managed some rice cakes and now sipping some ginger ale trying to stuff a banana down. I'm calling the Gp on Monday. I'm having visitors staying tonight and tomorrow which I find inconvenient but I haven't seen them for many years as they live in Australia. Well, she's preggo too so she understands lol.

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

Caz, I always admire your positive attitude hun. You've had a hard time TTC, but you don't let it get you down. Sending you masses of dust for your O this cycle x

Hopes, I think I would be in melt down with my bathroom out of action like that! I'm amazed your coping, I really hope DH is able to get it sorted out for you soon x

Babydream, your morning sickness does sound incredibly severe. I think if it persists you really might need to talk to your G.P about the possibility of medication. I really feel for you, it makes you feel wretched. I found the key was never getting hungry, always keep nibbling something. Crackers worked really well for me, lots of bland carbs. I hope you find something to help soon honey x

 

[Hopes314]

been having pain/pressure in my pubic bone area since this morning. im still normal right

EDIT** its not excruciating, and it isnt getting worse.. or better lol

 

[pk2of8]

hopes, it could just be the weight of the baby, pressure on the ligaments and muscles that support the uterus but defo keep monitoring if it gets worse or better. if it gets worse, it's always better to go ahead and call your mw. i used to get so anxious about feeling foolish for calling about stuff like that, but bottom line is the worst that could happen is you go to the hospital to be monitored for a while and they send you back home. not so bad, and always worth it if it means catching something for your lo early and preventing other issues.

tink, i would imagine they would have said/done something if they saw something serious there with lilyanne...maybe brought in a specialist or at least recommended consult with one. i'm sure she'll be fine sweetie glad the school fete went well

coral, very jealous you get to see tink and little lilyanne and you'll have your own little princess so soon!!!

lew-poor thing with the swelling. i hope it doesn't get any worse for you sweetie. and how cool of work to give you a surprise baby shower

babyd, i'm sorry you're feeling so sicky hun. just try to hang in there and think that your new lo is nice and snuggly and healthy in there

MC i hope you're having a better day today sweetie

caz, that sucks that you didn't get your cd10 scan. bummer. but i agree with tink...it's so inspiring how positive you always are i hope this is your month sweetie!!

well, i found out i should start the bcp's on July 24th. feels so far away now, although i guess it's really only 3 weeks. i have a trial "transfer"/sono scheduled for Aug 11th, and baseline u/s and bloodwork scheduled for Aug 30th, after which I will start all the heavy duty fertility drugs for stimming. the actual IVF/ET will happen 2-3 weeks after that. i picked up my script for BCPs and prenatals today. insurance covered that. thank God. it's not much, but every little bit is going to help. the RE nurse emailed me back and she should get me a firm schedule (with meds list/stimming schedule) some time next week

 

[Tinkerbellxxx]

PK, yup sense tells me that also but mommy hormones say the tech didn't check it, or the doc hasn't checked it yet etc etc etc ... damn those hormones. I'm just trying to not think about it Sooooooooooo happy things are taking shape with your IVF plans. Its fantastic to hear about things moving, plans being made etc etc. I'm so pleased for you PK, it wont be long now x

Hopes, agree with PK about everything so I wont repeat. Something cool on the joint really helps, as will properly supporting your bump in bed with a pillow and a pillow between your thighs to keep the pelvis in alignment x

Right off for the bed time x

 

[pk2of8]

have a good night's rest tink it is exciting to see things finally getting moving. i think i need to change my tickers. i probably will stop temping. won't do me any good once i'm taking the bcp's so i think it will help me to see time moving if i put some countdown tickers....it's just hard to let it all go just yet.

 

[phoebe]

Hello DD's xxxxxx
Can only stop for a short visit. but i have just managed to read thru all the pages that i have missed since going into hosp phewwwwwwwwwww............... But i just wanted to say a thankyou for all the love, concern, support and care that u guys have shown. Have missed u all desperately and hope all is well with u all. Things have been crazy town here and life is upside down. but wouldnt change it for the world. Things have been up and down and i should imagine Tink has updated u all on recent events with me. I will try and get back on here tom and put some photo's on of the delectable Florence i now know what i am on this planet for since having her. its been tiring and i have had some health issues, but all in all i am a very happy DD indeed. Sorry i wasnt able to retain anyones news. but i love u all dearly and hope that this is the start of my coming back on here and touching base with u all. Big hugs and kisses to u all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
