The Beanstalkers (formally ttc buddy?)

OMG Cali your family is going to freak!! I can't believe you waited this long. We were bursting at the seams, and told our families the day we found out. I'm a terrible liar and would have to hide out for 12 weeks. Aaaahhh I can't wait to hear what they said and did! Keep us posted!

I'm feeling good, just super bloated. I weighed myself today for the first time since finding out, and would have bet good money that I gained at least 3-5 lbs...but I didn't gain even one! Bloated anyone?! Hahaha. Good otherwise though!

Cali your family will be so thrilled!

I ended up getting admitted AGAIN yesterday... this time for high BP. I was just going in to get monitored since now I have to go twice a week to monitor baby and my contractions. My BP was 160/90 and it lowered while I was in the hospital but my fear is that they are going to put me on bed rest. I can't afford that right now

 

[Lisa92881]

Oh honey hope everything stays good and you don't get put on bedrest! Come on Jackson, get comfy in there for a few more weeks!!

 

[KendraNoell]

Luckily the Dr did another exam, a nurse did one on Monday too, and my cervix is super high and tight. Which means baby is comfy in there and I'm not dialating. So honestly, I am relieved because I don't see him coming super early because he's so high up right now. However, the constant contractions could open my cervix which isn't good. I think I will have him early but I am shooting to get past 36 weeks and I'll be ok. WHen I think about that, and think its only 5 weeks and a few days away, it seems really scary!!!

Hola! Hope everyone is okay..my placenta was pulling away from my uterus so I had to have an emergency c-section. But he's a healthy boy now and is greedy lol

Congrats baby!

 

[Lisa92881]

Hey mk how are things with you??

Hi Lisa, I'm ok, still in TTC land and clomid cycle 5, don't think it will work for me. Had acupuncture this cycle- was interesting, but I o'd later thus cycle- pos opk in day 16(normally day 14 during previous clomid cycles), but the opk test line was super duper dark if that means anything. Finally got my first appointment with a fertility specialist end April. Trying to stay hopeful.

How are you? Bump showing yet????

 

[Lisa92881]

Well hopefully the acupuncture worked it's magic! I hope you get your BFP before your appt and you're able to cancel it!

I'm good. No bump yet! Have another dr's appt in a few weeks, if all looks good then we might tell work and extended family.

 

[KendraNoell]

Wow you were super late Baby4u!

 

[raelynn]

Congrats baby

MK - hopefully this cycle is the one. Glad you finally got that appointment with the FS. Ours has definitely been helpful. Hoping yours will be too!

As for me, hubby's operation is tomorrow morning to see if they can find us any swimmers. I don't think either of us will be devastated either way, we'll just be happy to know our next course of action. Of course, we'd love to be able to have hubby's biological child but if we have to go down the donor route we're just viewing it as a half adoption and hubby will always be the father in our eyes. Keeping my fingers crossed for him though and so glad this next step is underway. Next is IVF or dIUI depending on the results!

 

[Lisa92881]

Good luck Rae. I will be saying prayers that they can get a few swimmers for you guys to use.

 

[raelynn]

Thanks! I'm starting to get nervous and just hope everything goes smoothly tomorrow.

 

[mk8]

Good luck Rae!

 

[Chatnoir]

Good luck Rae, be sure to let us now it all went xx

 

[raelynn]

Well it was a long hard day but we're in the home stretch now. Thank you all for your support! Hubby is doing much better and I just have to love him more for being so brave and going through this. We got excellent news. The plan was to take up to 3 samples from each side and the Urologist was going to take a look at the 1st sample on each side to see if they needed to gather more or not. He found one sperm in the 1st sample on one side so he took the rest of the samples from that side near the same area. He took 5 samples total (3 on one side 2 on the other). So we know we have at least one little swimmer to work with! We have to wait for about 10 days to get the official results and find out if there is more than one. At least we have a chance with that one!

 

[Chatnoir]

Wow that's fab news Rae! It only takes one!!!!

 

[Lisa92881]

Omg Rae sooooo excited for you!!!!

 

[kasigirl]

Fantastic news Rae!
