Totally Talkative, Crazy 1st-timers (NTNP/TTC #1!) - [22+ BFP's & 18 babies born!]

[joo]

My thyroid test came back today, and it's under control enough for me to go through with ivf so now all I'm waiting on is my STUPID doctor to confirm that I have no hereditary diseases, then it's go go go!

That's fantastic news nlk!!! now hurry up doc! xxx

 

[Aurora CHK]

Go NLK! C'mon doc!

Sending massive love to everyone. I MAY have some news, over on my journal, if anybody wants to come say hi :wave: xxx

[Aurora CHK]

That is brill, NLK! God knows you deserve it. Squeeeee! Bring on the matches! xxx

yay that is great

 

[sugarpi24]

i just did the math and as long as we can put $200 every week towards our debt we would be pretty much debt free in 6-8 months! which means we can head forward with IVF then!!! yay!! makes it all the more exciting!

 

[joo]

wonderful news nlk!

sugarpi that's great that you will be debt free, your goal of starying ivf must make you even more determined to pay the money off!

hope everyone is well xxx

 

[sugarpi24]

yeah its crazy what motivates us! we could have done this a long time ago! but oh well...better than not doing it i guess we will keep asking for overtime at work and hopefully itll be closer to 6 months!

 

[joo]

good idea, keeping busy should make the time pass quickly

Hey everyone!! Feels like forever since I had time to update on here! Hope you are all ok.

Well, my babies are one today! How the hell did that happen?! It seems like 5 minutes ago that we started our TTC journey....

Harry and Poppy are both doing fab. For those of you who don't know me, I had them 6 weeks early and they were 4lb 1oz and 4lb 3oz. They were like little angels. Harry was really poorly when he was born and was in intensive care. But they are both catching up now and
are little monkeys

Poppy took two steps the other day then fell over. Harry, who has always been a little behind has just started crawling. Having two mobile babies is interesting! Haha.

As for me, im loving every part of being a mum to twins. I feel so blessed everyday. I went back to work 2 months ago. I work full time nights which is hard but manageable. Its really difficult trying to fit work, sleep and being a mummy in but we want to give harry and poppy a lovely upbringing so its got to be done. We are even going on our first family holiday next month. Going to majorca for a week!

Right, I best go see the monkeys...

Will pop a few pics on when I get chance

Hi BBH! It's great to hear from you & catch up on the 'Happy' twins. Happy birthday to them & happy Mummiversary to you! I'm still here - as you can see!

I actually got my first ever BFP on Friday. Just waiting to see if it sticks as keep getting BFNs with the cheapie brands (i only had the one FRER) so not sure if its progressing . Keep your fx for me! Sounds like you are VERY busy - you must be knackered! Pics please (with the twins in I mean, not just you being knackered ). Loads of love to you. Xxx

 

[nlk]

Hi BBH! Good to hear from you!

Happy birthday Poppy and Harry! That's insane. I can't believe how quickly this year has gone! You're so busy, I don't know how you do it! They're lucky to have parents that are so determined to give them the best possible life!

 

[magicwhisper]

Keep testing and teeling us your twins sound cute

 

[Aurora CHK]

Looks like it hasn't progressed, Whisper. I'm still getting positive tests but no darker & have been bleeding since Saturday so looks like your standard chemical unfortunately.

 

[magicwhisper]

awh i am so sorry

 

[Smile181c]

aurora, hope you're holding up ok.

BBH I can't believe the twinnies are 1! Happy belated birthday! Max is 1 next week how is it that long ago we were TTC and this thread was started up?!

 

[magicwhisper]

how is everyone doing?

i am just waiting now >.< all signs are that af is on her way

 

[MommaAlexis]

How is everyone of our TTCers and LTTCers? I've missed you all much, been so busy I've been slacking. Trying to go out and move on from what happened, so I've been a lot happier. Sending happy baby dust to all of you! Can't believe it's been two years since I started TTC with you all; thanks for being an amazing support system for me through everything that's happened. I would have lost my marbles! haha Maybe some of us moms here can write a list of things we found helpful when we were TTC/pregnant/etc some day. For heartburn - oatmeal mixed with warmed milk as a drink before bed. Keeps energy up and heartburn down while you sleep!
