Re: MAY 2011 BABY or BABIES!

Hi Ladies!! Things are progressing as usual with the babies as far as we know. I go in for my monthly ultrasound on the 12th and am hoping they are able to tell the sex of the babies, but being only 15 weeks I am not getting my hopes up.
I just want to see both of them moving around and getting ...

Re: Progesterone aftermath

Thanks Mom2be for the reply,
I had more spotting last Sunday and it lasted 5 days including a little bit today.
The Dr. conducted an Ultrasound on Monday since the spotting started and they did not see any source of a bleed and said it was common with an IVF twin pregnancy. Well, that surely doesnt ...

Re: twin mamas come in

Hi Ladies,
Can any of you relate to this? I know they say it is common to have spotting during a twin pregnancy. Well Sunday I started spotting dark brown, not heavy at all, a little more than discharge though. So I scheduled an appointment with the OBGYN. Being only 9 weeks now, I have not had my ...

Re: I'm New to the IVF world!!!

I never had any problems with the progesterone. You don't want to sit on ice or anything because the cold hinders dispersing throughout the body. (as least that is what my RE said)
They can give you a smaller needle, the one it comes with is as big as the trigger shot....YIKES!
I was given a smaller ...

Re: twin mommas come in

Hello Ladies,
It was just confirmed on Monday that I am expecting twins. They are due on May 6th. I think I am still in a bit of shock, and not really sure when it will really all sink in. I am SO nervous about everything going okay.
I am beginning to come off of the progesterone now, the RE said my ...
