Tubal Reversal ladies, just moved from WTT!!!

[BrandiCanucks]

I have a friend who has IVF twins. Her girls were 7lbs 4oz and 8lbs 3oz.

 

[LLawson]

Brandy, thats Awesome news! It sounds so fun to be having twins!

 

[AngienDaniel]

Hello Chicks!!
I wish I could give you my new numbers but I don't have them yet. My hubby and I went to bed at 5pm yesterday and didn't get up until this morning so I missed the doctors call. I have to wait until 9am.

Brandy, that is great about your test. I also think you will have boy/girl twins. They seem to be the most common and in my opinion, the best result. If I were gonna have twins I would pray for boy/girl twins.

Also, I will have some serious explaining to do when this little one comes out eating like me. My hubby will be wondering which Mexican I hoodwinked him with. When I am hungry now, I eat hot and spicy.. I have gained 5 lbs already. I was 126 and now I am 131.. I told the doc that it just ain't right. I don't even eat that much. My appetite has been blah, but I am getting bigger already!

My back is still hurting, but at my ultrasound yesterday the doc said my uterus was thickening well and I think that is why my back hurts so badly. It has thickened so much since last week. It was a half a centimeter last Fri and now it is a full centimeter. I asked her was it normal and she said, "Probably for you." I have decided to not get any more numbers drawn. I am going to go back to the doctor next Thursday when I am 5 1/2 weeks and have another ultrasound. The doc should be able to see what needs to be seen then. She still didn't see anything yesterday. The numbers stress me and I imagine the worst scenario. I just don't think it makes much difference really, and it damages my peace of mind. If the numbers aren't rising there is nothing that can be done anyway. If my back ache was the onset on impending doom, I figure the doom is taking it's time.. I have noticed that when the backaches come on, so do the headaches. I really think they are hormonal.
I am just proud I made it past the days I miscarried last time.
I keep having these dreams about this little girl. Not sure if it's because I secretly want a little girl or what. I actually would prefer a little boy, I thought..
I had a dream the other night that I had just had a little girl and was deciding on what to name her. I was sitting next to my hubby's ex wife and she had just had a baby to, a little boy that was Asian mixed. We were deciding together what to name our children. We don't speak to her irl...EVER. I think pregnancy dreams are so strange. My hubby's brother does have a longterm Asian girlfriend.
Both my babies weighed 6lbs 4 oz.. I am small framed though. I think I look strange pregnant and think everyone else is beautiful.. I know it's tmi but I finally am starting to get an increase in fluid. I was worried because I had lost all my desire and was just not interested in any way. I have always been a very physical person and the idea that I would have to go through this whole pregnancy not wanting to touch my husband was starting to weigh on my mind. I am glad my desire is starting to return as my energy is starting to diminish. I figure you can't have everything perfect.
I know you ladies probably did not need to know that, but I truly did not understand how much my "new pregnancy age" was going to affect my body. I have realized that I am not 19 anymore, and not only realized it, but accepted it as truth. I figured that I was still young enough to have babies so it wasn't going to be too much different, but it is. I stay tired. My body aches... the only thing more stable (most days) are my emotions. Everything else is cooky. Pregnancy at an older age is definitely more noticed.

I will be back in an hour or so to let you guys know my numbers..

 

[AngienDaniel]

Well, it looks like I am losing this baby too. My numbers are slowly going down. I will begin following the numbers down instead of wishing they were rising,. I am going to take a break with babies. I just can't deal with it anymore. I also am going to take a short break from the forum. I can't do anything right and I am tired of trying. Thanks girls for helping me when I needed it.
God bless.
I will check back in a couple of weeks to find out about your little ones Brandy!

 

[LLawson]

AngienDaniel I am so sorry for what you are going through. Ive never been in that situation so I cant say, I know how your feeling, I dont! I do know how your feeling as far as getting pregnant though. I want this more than anything and it seems like its just not happening! I thought with the clomid surely something would happen but my temps are slowly going down so Im sure Im not pregnant this time....Im not even sure if I ovulated at all which is strange that I was before the clomid and then on Clomid maybe I didnt?
On a different note, this is probably tmi but have you tried Fertile Cm? Ive been taking it for a few weeks and WOW is all I have to say. I feel like things are flowing like Im a teenager again. I havent been taking the full amount either. You are supposed to do 3 pills a day. Ive been doing 2 a day. The only bad part is you have to drink at least 64 ozs of water a day and Im not a water drinker so Ive made myself! I have lost 6 pounds though since drinking the water! I have Interstitial Cystitis and it causes me to urinate like crazy anyway. You should see me since Ive been drinking water. Im in the bathroom about every 15 minutes if not sooner. Its making it hard to go out cause I constantly need to pee...
Maybe a little break will do you good but please dont give up! I want to give up everyday but Im not letting myself! Im too old and dont have alot of time so I cant give up just yet.

Hang in there!

Angie, ((((HUGS))) my heart breaks for you & hubby I know the pain of losing babies (miscarriage & stillbirth). Time brings Healing. You are a stromg woman with strong faith. Take the time You need to grieve and then join us again as you continue this journey I will pray for you as your body heals...physically & emotionally.

 

[BrandiCanucks]

So sorry Angie. Lots of hugs!

 

[~Brandy~]

Angie- I am so sorry.. what a nightmare. I wish you were monitored by a fertility specialist right now so they could help you to determine why this keeps happening. I know that has to be so upsetting and frustrating. I am so sad I really don’t have any words that could console you other than I am very very sorry and its struck me deeply.

You and your family are in my thoughts.

 

[Navygrrl]

I'm so sorry Angie.

BrandiCanuck - Grats on the surgery date.

Brandy - My daughter was 9lbs, 7oz, and 24 inches long. I hope your twins don't grow to that size, LOL!

AFM - I'm at either 9 or 10dpo, and I'm trying to stay optimistic, but it's tough. I don't have any symptoms or anything, but it's still early (I hope). We pulled all the wallpaper out of the half-bath downstairs, took down the popcorn ceiling, then repainted everything. It looks really nice, but now DH is all excited about doing the rest of the house and I'm tired of it already. I also have tendonitis in my left wrist, and it's horribly painful. My doctor wants me to take anti-inflammatories, but I told her I won't unless AF shows up. I don't want to risk miscarriage if I do happen to get a BFP.

 

[cj72]

Angie, I cried when I read your post. I'm so sorry you're going through this. Know that we are here waiting for you when you come back. Love you babes.

 

[cupcakestoy]

So sorry Angie~Take the time you need to grieve & heal Sweetie....Hugs to you & Prayers sent....

 

[FaithHopeLove]

Angie, what's your dr.s plan? Are they just letting things take its course? Thinking of you today and praying for you

 

[FaithHopeLove]

Cupcake, did you cave yesterday and test I'm 11dpo today and plan to test at 15dpo if no sign of af. I don't test early...I know it's nuts, but if I'm not seeing a bfn test, then there's always hope until my temp drops ...I prefer the sight of af vs a glaring BFN My temps always let me know AF is on her way so never any surprises.

Navy, looks like you're a cycle buddy with cupcake and myself I love home improvement projects great job on the bathroom. I love changing things in the house...even just new paint is a nice change

LLawson, hope the clomid did the trick afterall! Good to know about FertilaidCM

 

[LLawson]

FaithHopeLove, Im hoping the clomid did the trick too but Im not getting my hopes up yet. Im like you I dont want to test early cause it just discourages me.
I think theres a fertilaid but Im taking the Fertile CM is what this one is called. The doctor said the clomid can make your CM " hostile" and keep you from getting pregnant this helps increase the quantity and quality of your CM he said and it also promotes a healthy uterine lining. I can tell a HUGE difference and so did my hubby! LOL
I didnt get it until late so I was about a week late starting it so it may have been too late this cycle.
I was gearing up for all the side affects women say they get from the clomid and terrified of the stories of your ovaries bursting especially with being on the 100mg dose but I have to say Im kind of discouraged now cause I really felt no different this cycle. I was tender but I dont think it was much more than usual. I did have bad headaches that was it! So Im wondering if it worked at all?
Have any of you experienced later periods with clomid? My cycle is usually 28 days and I just wondered if it would be longer this time?
Im sending you ladies lots of babies dust in hopes you all get that positive test soon!

 

[LLawson]

My husband and I got into some "home remodeling" back in January and never got it finished before summer so we put it on hold until its starts getting cooler. I used to do cakes non stop and I decided to get out of it so I could focus on the baby stuff and get some things done at home and try and make some room(all my cake stuff is taking up my closets and cabinets).I havent done a cake since December but I actually have my last wedding cake this weekend. I promised a friend over a year ago so I didnt want to back out on her. I hate to say its stressing me out already!
We race and between that and all the yard work and summer fun we just lost interest and time in the house! Im anxious to get back at it though cause we have all new interior doors that have not been painted, new wood blinds stacked up ready to be put on and ceiling fans so the house is pretty cluttered and unfinished! We did get all new furniture and carpet but it doesnt make up for the unsightly doors and bathrooms that need to be redone! LOL, its really a job but worth it once you finish!
What I really need to do is tackle my kitchen cabinets! Im a hoarder when it comes to the cake stuff and my cabinets are OVER FLOWING!! Im going to have to do it sooner or later! Ugh!

 

[~Brandy~]

LLawson- My cycles went from 28 days to 35 days on clomid. However, when I was on Femara they went to a 26 day cycle so you never know what the meds will do.


AFM- We are gearing up to start the nursery we want to start it in October!

I caved for the last 3 days!!! Still BFN today cd28/12dpo...Thinking either I'm preggo & its still too early or the Soy Isos have screwed my cycle up this time, even tho they didn't last cycle? IDK, guess I'm in Limbo & can just wait it out......How bout you Faith & Navy???? Any News?

Brandy~How exciting to get to start on the Nursery!!!!

 

[Superstoked]

Angie So sorry hugs darling.

AFM I have somewhat come to terms with my loss. My bleeding was very short, 4 days short. The doctor has been calling me to go get my levels taken and I have not, just because it's draining... I lost my symptoms pretty fast, but this is day two now of bb's getting tender and sore nipples, and I feel a little nauseous . I have not had af yet but we have been active, so I went this morning to get my numbers taken, I may get the results back today or monday. This was just to make sure I went back to 0... if there was any chance of a "new development"... never thought in a million years I would think I am pregnant and I highly doubt I a but the sore nipples is something I never have only during pregnancy? Please god help me! lol

 

[cj72]

You never know, Super

Hey girlies! 7 dpo with cramps. Just waiting out the tww.

 

[FaithHopeLove]

LLawson, your cabinets sound like mine...not the cake decorating (that would be my mom's cabinets mine just have STUFF! It's so hard to part with things...there's always the thought...."what if I need this?" lol Our house is small, I have to get rid of stuff. We plan to do complete remodel on both bathrooms and the kitchen...planning to do much of the work ourselves. Our hope is to put our house on the market next year and but property outside of town

Cj, cramps on cd7 sound promising!

Super, hope those numbers get to 0. It's good when our bodies can cleanse themselves without having to do a D&C

Angie, thinking of you today

Cupcake, sorry for BFNs Have you thought of trying clomid rather than soy iso?

Brandy, how exciting to get started on the nursery. Getting it done early will be such a huge help when "nesting" sets in

Afm, cd12, temps still up..just waiting my lp is usually 13 or 14 days..so AF should show Sun/Mon.
