TTC 1st child 35+ (Please spoiler any PG news/announcements).

[Mommy's Angel]

Ladies,
Thank you so much for your support and many prayers! They worked!

We just saw our two babies with heartbeats fluttering away madly.

This was by far one of the worst weeks I've ever had in my life waiting for what our nurse & the internet (bad google) made us believe was going to be terrible news. I really don't know how I got through it except for my DH, you guys, the few friends who knew what was going on with me, and of course ... God. I kept praying not for a particular outcome, but for peace and strength to get through whatever we had ahead b/c I was barely functioning this week.

I really love our doctor and he put us at ease right away. I have been released from our fertility clinic and came away with some names of OBs to check out. I must say that the doctor we had last week really just exacerbated my fears by not saying anything and not explaining to us what was going on. When my nurse told me on Friday that they should have seen 2 fetal poles already & only occasionally did that change at the next scan, I was so upset. She didn't want me to get my hopes up and she effectively squashed any that I had. She was very sweet to me today, but I really wish we would not have gone for such an early scan.

Now DH & I are trying to process how in the world we will afford TWINS and where we will put them in our small 2 bedroom condo. It is going to be tight! But we will figure it out.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Honestly, I really did feel that you were all behind me and cared about me, which helped me get through the last few days.

Gosh you had me on pins and needles second guessing myself wondering if you were going to in fact hear bad news. Shoooooooooeeeee!! I'm EXTATIC you had the good news and I've been praying for it.

If you get pregnant again in the future...tell them you don't want to look until mid 6 wks. Oh my goodness I was having a heart attack waiting for your response!

Never you mind about the money. God will provide! He ALWAYS does. You just bask in the joy of the miraculous news and enjoy the ride darlin! Also, go into graduates forum. My friend who carried twins recommended a book for multiples that helps beef up the babies in case of early delivery which is normal for twins. Charmaine has the book and while the diet is sometimes HARD to follow, it could be of great help. I bet Charmaine will be a great source of help through her own experience with triplets.

I am SO EXTATIC!! Well, what the heck are you waiting for?! Common over to graduates!!

And as for the rest of you?! I'm hoping to hear a whole slew of you will get pregnant within the next month or two. I want it to be in the water for crying out loud!

Vittori- Welcome back and Yay for dh going back to the meds!

HA- I totally agree about the blood test, my RE never gave me blood test either, there were times when I wondered it I'd already ovulated. I'm not sure what your insurance coverage is for fertility, Mine was $5k over my life time which I have exhausted. I will say to check your coverage if you don't know what it is because ordering fertility meds which are extremly expensive can use it up in no time and your RE needs to be aware of that, you should not have to order meds unnecessarly, they are EXPENSIVE, I remember that my insurance said ganirellix was like $600.00 if I had been paying out of pocket for the meds. I'm learning that we have to advocate for ourselves and I know you are really good at that so let that RE have it, and let him know that you want to be monitered and if he can't or won't do it then its time to move on.

Luv- So sorry hun sending hugs your way and hoping that you and dh make up soon.

MA- Hope you get some answers and start feeling better soon.

Where is missyt she has posted in a few days?

Hi Purple, dwrgi, Omm

Lava- on pins and needles, finger crossed and praying for you!

AFM-So Last night my dh gave me a fertility braclet that he ordered on line and whether there is anything to it or not it was such a sweet gesture, and I will wear it eveyday until I get my bfp!

Oh that was so sweet of your dh!!!! and :wave: right back to you!!

 

[vittori]

Hello everybody! thank you for your kind welcome

HA, I'm sorry you're feeling so upset I also feel the "mental block" because of my age, but like Skye said, in August your eggs won't look at a calendar and decide to go to sleep. Oh btw my birthday is in August too
Sending you calm vibes and hope you'll enjoy the time away from docs next month.

Luvm so sorry your DH was so mean, but maybe he was just stressed out over something because it was so clear that you didn't do anything wrong. I'm sure he feels very guilty right now but knowing how men are, I think he'll keep quiet for some time, and won't realize how his silence hurts you even more. I hope you'll make up soon


Lava, Can I have some babydust please?? Erm, a bucket perhaps? Wishing you healthy and happy 9 months!

FM that is so sweet of your DH. I'm gonna google this fertility bracelet and see if I can get one

Sending happy vibes to everybody

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Honestly, I really did feel that you were all behind me and cared about me, which helped me get through the last few days.

Absolutely BRILLIANT news! I am soooooooo happy for you and have been thinking of you all night. I asked myself thsi morning what my instinct was about you, and my instinct was that all would be okay, and IT IS!!!! Brilliant! I'm sure you will manage with your condo-people always do, don't they??? But you certainly have a lot to think about!!

I think you have opened up a can of worms re. health professionals. I canot tell you how upset I was when I was PG and bleeding, and my local hospital were so detached and matter of fact. "You're baby is unviable. Go home. Only get in touch if you experience severe pain." Then, more recently, with OH's SA, they were soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo patronising to him and made him feel as if he had a 'dirty secret' in having a poor result. The nurse actually said for him to go to a herbalist store and ask there for help because 'they may have something under the counter'!!!! WTF????? I tell you what, we are experts in this field, it seems to me, as, through all our discussions and private research, we learn things and store them. These people clearly don't.

How dare that nurse suggest that situations barely change??? Well, clearly they did, and you've been through this week of hell as a result. It makes my blood boil. It's all very well and good for her to be nice to you yesterday, but what about the effect of her ill chosen words a week ago??? Grrrrrrr. Like I said yesterday about Happy, I just don't think that many people out there have sensitive bones in their bodies-we are just one in a long line of expectant mothers, faces in a queue. It's just not good enough!!

Anyway, rant over, I now need to go and medidate somewhere to calm me down!! But, I am sooooooooooooo very delighted for you-I am sending you a HUGE virtual cwtch (hug in Welsh)!!! Hope you're okay, and have a lovely realxing weekend to make up for the past week. You deserve sunshine and smiles, sugar and spice and all things nice!!

 

[Dwrgi]

Excuse my language...fuckin hell Lava I'm so relieved and ecstatic for you amazing outcome

There are times when only these type of words will do!!!!!

You made me laugh-have a great weekend Never!!

LAVA!!! OMG!!!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!

Thank you all so much for the iuv & support!

Glad he saw sense Luv-blinking men!! We have enough going on as it is!!! I'm so glad you've patched it up-you can look forward to a lovely weekend together now, making up!!!

 

[Desperado167]

Lava,so so happy for u ,luv,glad things have worked out lovely,

 

[purplelou]

oh - forgot to say earlier - FM -WHEN that fertility bracelet works - the website of that online store will crash because we will all be there trying to buy!! what a lovely sweet man you have there!

 

[skye2010]

Lava, I was so worried about your result for this week and I'm so glad that it actually is all right. I had a very similar thing remember when they told me that my numbers weren't rising as fast. Heartbeat wait is worst than TWW. I guess the drs and nurses should hold their tongue on a possible delay for that period. i guess they want to prepare you but it's worst. Anyway all behind now...
I totally agree with MA. Babies come with their own luck and fortune so you will find the way and mean to give them everything you deserve. You'll both be great parents. Don't worry. I hope you have a healthy smooth 9 months and have healthy babies

Luvy I'm so happy Dh's apologised. I guess sometime these arguements are not so bad cause you remember how much you love each other in the end )) Not having any arguements isn't very healthy either I believe..

Hey Whatevergirls, are we still rolling smoothly ?? xxxx
