Those that TTC together, Stick together!! 4 BABY BOYS/3 BABY GIRLS

[BrandysBabies]

I got my BFP Sept 20th. Due May 29th!

And my angel baby left on April 4th, 2011 at 13wks.

Rosa!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't wait to see those twins! Hehe!

 

[rosababy]

He's a total mommy's boy, just the way I like it. I'm going to soak up all the baby love I can before he suddenly sprouts into the teenager who can't be seen within a mile of me lol.
I'm betting both of those little eggies stick an 9 months from now you'll have a bouncing set of twins. I'm so excited! How are you feeling?

Totally. Teenagers suck! I would like to skip that time!

I sure hope you're right, Love. I would love to have twins and be DONE with ttc and never have to do ivf again. I'm feeling fine. The transfer is just like a pap, so it's no big deal. And the stress is starting to calm down, which is good. I need to be calm for my little ones in there.

Kylar, I had to check back in my calendar on that one BFP May 3rd, and due Jan 12th!

Rosa, I read your journal--so exciting!!! 2 little ones, perfect, and just looking for a comfy home Burrow deep, little guys! Did your doc tell you if you can poas?...Don't some hormonal supplements mess with the accuracy of those tests?

Good morning everyone--hope it was a great (long) weekend for all!

Thanks! Pregnant Until Proven Otherwise.

Thanks!! Doc didn't tell me when, but of course I've done some research and the hcg shot that I took last Wednesday will make any hpt positive until about 10 days after the shot. So, it would probably be safe to take a test next Monday. However, you know me and testing. I probably will wait until the beta. Not sure when that will be yet. I have to go in on Thursday for something and I'm sure they'll tell me then.

 

[ready4baby]

Cool--waiting for the beta isn't a bad thing although you will probably be dying in the hours between the test and result! Try to rest and relax over the next week...the month I got my sticky bean, I was chilling in Aruba during implantation time

KYLARS, my Angel Baby Dylan/Dylynn went above on July 19, 2011. Sure hoping to get that BFP before the end of this year!!

AFM...Nothing new to report but you can...stalk my chart!! Not feeling so well today though, I think that I have a little bug. Of course I dare not take anything harmful so I am waiting it out... Infact, the Robitussin probably did me some good as I started taking that for OV and of course the baby aspirin. I am continuing on my vitamins so, this shouldn't last too long.

 

[Deethehippy]

Rosa - i am so excited for you! good luck with everything, i think twins would be awesome

I have an appointment on 10th november with the miscarriage specialist so hopefully will get some answers.....................the question now is....do i TTC whilst waiting for the appointment/tests??

Hello to everyone and hope those 3 baby boys are all doing well

 

[nypage1981]

Rosa hah! I love the PUPO thing! Awesome. I hope hope hope this is all you need! What made u decide on doing two of them? I just recall you saying you would do one this round and two if it doesn't work. Does it cost more to transfer two or still the same?

I am having a super rough time w the baby. I cried today while he cried and feeling super behind on housework and really overwhelmed. The kid has to be held constantly and after being awake w him all night, it's frustrating to be stuck doing nothing but hold him. Wish I was the one leaving to go to work sometimes......

 

[rosababy]

Oh Ny. Poor thing. Can dh help with some housework? I'm sorry you're feeling so down.

We put two in for a few reasons:
1) it was a day 3 transfer as opposed to a day 5. Day 5 gives them more chance to grow and divide, and "blast" which I'm still not sure what that means. But when you have a blast, usually you're only allowed to put one back in because it has more of a chance to implant.
2) we only had 2. Might as well put both of them in. It costs $2300 to freeze any number.
3) the quality was A/B, which means it's good but not perfect. So they probably would not handle the freeze/thaw process.
4) since the quality was not perfect, it gives us a better chance that at least one of them will stick.

So there ya go! I'm very happy that there are 2 in there. To be honest, I always wanted to put two in, because it gives us a better chance of at least getting one. So, we'll see.

ny- I'm sorry you are having such a rough time. The first few weeks are a struggle. Even now I still have moments when I feel completely overwhelmed. Do you have a baby carrier of any type? I'm currently weaing a SuggyBaby wrap which is the same things as a Moby and my LO just LOVES it. It puts him to sleep in a matter of minutes and it allows me to get things done around the house. You may want to look into getting some sort of carrier. There is a babywearing group I am apart of on Facebook which could be a great help to you. One of the leaders in my area is just wonderful and is always helping me out with questions. I think babywearing would do wonders for you. It'll help calm LO down considerably. They feel so close and secure when they are worn. We have a carrier that even DH wears to give me a break. I'll take pictures tomorrow so you can see how happy LO is and he is also one who wants to be help ALL DAY LONG.

 

[nypage1981]

Rosa it sounds very exciting to have 2 transferred. I love it! Come on, baby!

Love, yes maybe I should try one. Can wearing them make the attachment thing even worse though? I wouldn't want to wear him as he gets heavier, because I've got a bad back.....but do see where that would come handy right now.....although once he does sleep during the day, it's for a while, just hard to get to that point because he is always hungry. I feed and feed and feed...it is exhausting, and quite frankly, I'm not having any fun with a new baby because I'm so drained and in pain all the time. Hope it passes!

 

[Deethehippy]

NY - It WILL get better hun, you and your body are exhausted and looking after a new born baby is the hardest thing! Cut yourself some slack and have a good cry if you need to! i agree with Love, a sling would be useful perhaps or maybe put him in his car seat/bouncer and carry it into rooms as you go around.
Big to you.

 

[nypage1981]

Thank you dee. I hope i snap out of this so far i feel very ungrateful.

Same to you. It will get getter, time helps and I'm glad you will be consulting with a miscarriage specialist. Hopefully they can help prevent this from occurring again.

 

[loveinbinary]

Ny- little Kian is already super attached simply because you're mommy. You provide the food, the comfort and the the feeling of security. You're all he knew for 9months. The world is so new to him that all he wants is mommy because he knows you're a safe place and you will make it all better. I used to think babywearing would cause Roman to be super clingy and really I never wanted to be one of those people who wore their babies. Then I realized, babywearing or not, he wanted to be held 24 hours a day. My arms hurt, my back hurt from arching it to support him. He wanted to be held and I wanted nothing to do with him. Getting a sling really helped. I stopped hating holding my little peanut. He was happier, I was happier. I was able to do things again while still making sure my LO was content. He started sleeping better. Even when he's fussy and won't go down for a nap, putting him in a carrier and going about my business knocks him out and I can get a break.

 

[ready4baby]

Ny, if it helps at all, I think how you're feeling is completely, totally normal. I was so impressed by your positive spirits and enthusiasm after Kian was born, but I think how you are feeling now (I imagine somewhat coinciding with OH going back to work) is much more common in the early weeks. It WILL get better. I haven't been there yet, but I completely expect to be entirely overwhelmed and sore (way to set the bar low, right?) , and I also completely expect for it to get easier with time. I agree with the girls, get a carrier and use it; don't worry about over attachment for a little while until you are feeling less sore & more able to cope. It's more important now for both of you to be calm and happy as much as possible. Enjoy your little guy--you are not ungrateful, you are just overwhelmed and it's okay.

Dee, yay for your appointment with the specialist!! Maybe ntnp is the way to go until you have your initial evaluation?

Love, how are you doing with going back to work? It sounds like you are really missing Roman...is DH staying with him while you work?

 

[rosababy]

Ny, my sil has one of those wrappy things and LOVES it. I can't wait to have one! Do you have back issues? Maybe some back exercises would help?

Dee, when is your appt? Yay!!!! I would agree with ready to ntnp. When we had a cycle before we started ivf, my dh and I talked about whether or not we should try naturally one last time. We decided not to. Our doc said the chance of ectopic was high, so we didn't want to get preggo in the tubes and have to push back the ivf several more months. Just a thought.

I'm doing fine today. My boobs hurt, I have mild (albeit annoying) cramps and my hip/butt area hurts from the shots. I'm exhausted. I sound pregnant, don't I?! It's just the progesterone. I'm so thankful I have plenty of sick leave that I can stay home today and tomorrow as well. Not that I really need it, but it's nice to just relax.

 

[MrsMM24]

ROSA, this sounds like a promising Twin situation!

DEE, I hope your appt goes well and look forward to hearing some great news....

NY, the first few weeks are always the hardest. I know that you will snap out of it all soon.

AFM...Nothing new to report but you can...stalk my chart!! Feeling a little bit better today. Had a fever and took tylenol to lower it. I am sure my temps will be garbage but I have other OV monitors, not as accurate as temps but SMEP is the way this month sooo...

 

[Mrs.iwnamkabb]

Hi ladies.. Wow they changed the layout. I have been SICK AS A DOG! This has been a bad week for me, from me being sick with the flu- to employee issues, to a good friend of mine passing in his sleep, to being told that my moms cancer specialists decided that her leg HAS to be amputated (by the end of this week!! )

What sucks the most for me is that I can't see her before it happens. I can't imagine howshe feels. She's always been so strong and stays that way because she doesn't want us to worry, but idk what to say or do this time.she just had 7 rumors removed 2 weeks ago, and less than a month before that she had about 10 removed..

Needless to say this is a bad week. I'm 10 dpo didn't take my temp this morning, I have an appt next Tuesday to see the endocrinologist. I hope I'm not on af so that I don't have to reschedule.

I need to catch up on everyone- hugs and lots of good wishes to everyone. I'll check back soon

 

[nypage1981]

Thanks for all the kind words ladies.

Ready- I am pretty sure my initial positive, breezy attitude must have been the percocet I was on for the c section pain! Lol. OH said I was so agreeable to everything those first few days! hahahaa.

Today has been better than yesterday....but I have also just stayed home and not expected to get myself ready or leave the house at all.....guess its a small victory though since I am feeling happy!
