TTC #1 clomid and Ovidrel

[Pitbull mommy]

I got a sonogram today, and they found the heart beat with the Doppler it's crazy how much him/her has grown, in just 3 1/2 weeks.

Grney, that sucks about the flu! I hope you get your BFP soon

Starting when I'm 16 weeks, I have to start going to a specialist obgyn because of my high blood pressure. So more money right there ! But oh we'll its worth it. Apparently my blood pressure medicine isn't working too well. My blood pressure is still 150/90. I might switch to another medicine if this one doesn't start working. When I was on lisinopril before I tired getting pregnant, it made my blood pressure stay at 120/70. But I had I switch cause lisinopril causes cleft lip.

Thanks Pitbull Mommy, my husband and myself are hoping 2013 is our year. Definitely keep a watchful eye on your blood pressure. Stay off your feet as much as you can too.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

It's hard to stay off my feet, at work I'm on feet for 8 hours a day. ;/

Blucky, do tight pants make you crampy? My work pants have gotten tight and they are super uncomfortable and making me crampy

 

[bluckycharmed]

I work at a sporting goods store so I wear athletic pants to work... but when my jeans got tight they didnt make me crampy, they made me uncomfortable though. I have been in maternity pants since about Nov and I love them.... they are the most comfy pants EVER...

So there is a change of plans on the gender scan for Tuesday... I went to the doctor today to get my urine tested and asked the doc about my scan on tuesday and he said that it is only to check my cervix, and that i might not even get to see my babies so I talked to my DH, and we decided that we are going to do my 4D ultrasound on Saturday at 10am... I am already booked!! We get 2, so we are going to do one now, (bc I simply cant wait any longer) and then we are going to do one again in March, before the babies get too big. So that works even better for me... after our scan I will have 30+ photos, and a video of the entire scan!! If they give it to me Saturday I will post it over the weekend, but I dont know if I am going to have to go back and pick it up. We will see. Either way I am STOKED to know what my babies are on Saturday!! 3 DAYS!!!! I cant wait.

Hope yall are doing well... Dopey when is your IUI? have you had it yet? Grn hope you kicked the bug... and PB how far along are you now? You just wait.... I cant believe mine are the size of an open hand, and in the next 4 weeks they will more than double in weight. crazy! Its a miracle all around.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

That is awesome blucky!! How much does the 4D cost? I can't wait to find out the sex of my baby and I'll be 11 weeks friday.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

Is your doc doing your 4D scan, or do you have to go to a private sonogram place?

 

[Pitbull mommy]

Can you find out the sex at 16 weeks?

Hey all. So... I have gone in for 2 follie checks and nothing so far, I go again on fri but if nothing then they will stop this cycle. I met with my er yesterday and and we discussed changing medications, my last couple of cycles I have taken a lot time to respond to the clomid and she felt that maybe its not the best med for me. We talked about doing a iui cycle with a different med... letrezole... but she suggested that we may want to move right to ivf.. because of my issues and my age she felt that ivf is prob my best chance... so depending on whats going on that probably what I will be doing. Glad to hear that you are all doing well.

PB we are doing the scan through a private place bc it's not covered by insurance... It cost $250 but we get 2 30-minute sessions that include the whole scan on DVD video, over 30 pictures, photo album, gender determination etc. we are doing one session Saturday and the other in march. Yes you can tell the sex at 16 weeks, and some women can tell at 13-14 weeks. It just depends if the babies are cooperating, and I REALLY hope that they are!!

So Saturday I should have a bunch of pics and video to post of the babies! We are laying the new floor in the nursery and painting this weekend So I'm not sure when ill get it posted... But it won't take me too long.

Dopey, sorry you're not responding well to the clomid.... Lots of women rave about letrozole or femera as an alternative... I hope it works for you!!

 

[Pitbull mommy]

Dopey, sorry the medicine isn't working well. iVF is very expensive. I hope you get your BFP very soon.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

Yay!!!! So in about 5 weeks I could possibly know if my baby is a boy or girl. I go to a specialist obgyn when I'm 16 weeks, so maybe that doctor can tell me the sex. Blucky, I really hope your babies are cooperating Saturday. Lets us know how it goes.

Yesterday I went to my doctor, and she couldn't fine the heart beat on the Doppler this time, so she did a sonogram, and found it. I didn't get to hear it, cause their sonogram machine has no sound on it. She told me, once I'm 12 weeks, it will be easier to find the heart beat on the Doppler.

 

[bluckycharmed]

We never used a doppler during any of our scans, we just saw them on the sonogram, and heard them at the last one (about 12 weeks). I cant wait to find out the sex. My BFF was staying with me for the last 2 nights (she lives 2 hours away) and she painted my toenails blue/pink alternating in honor of my gender scan haha.

 

[Pitbull mommy]

Awe. How cute. Omg, I can't wait to hear what your having! are you showing a lot now?

 

[Pitbull mommy]

Where is a good place to get maternity jeans? I know we live in different states, but we may have the same stores. Walmart doesn't have any, and Ross didn't have my size.

 

[bluckycharmed]

Motherhood Maternity is good, but kinda pricy. I got 2 pair that I LOVE from Sears fo only $20 bucks each. Their selection is limited, but their prices are good. Target should have some (though few) also.

I am definitely showing. I went to the grocery store the other night and the woman there asked if I had about a month left. I laughed and said no, hopefully about 5. So yea, I am big. See my pic below.

I am due to add another pic... which I will in the next day or so.
