Re: Losing the weight..

The first 5-8 days post baby, you probably will still look pregnant, and even have the belly..BUT shortly after, first you lose the water, then the rest kind of comes off pretty quickly. I am three weeks (today) post babies and have lost slightly over 50 lbs, and am at my ...

Hello! Mandy..how nice of you to ask how the girls were doing. I just logged on and read up on everyone. Glad to hear how all of the new mothers and new babies are doing! My little girls are still in the NICU, and most likely will be for some time. Marli..the bigger of the two is doing well, and at ...

Hi Ladies...
I dont post that often, but thought I would tell everyone that I had my little girls via c-section (started bleeding and when I went to Labor & Delivery, I was in active labor dialated to 4 but I had no idea!) on Thursday April 9th. I was 32 weeks +5 days.

Hello Ladies....

I was recently 'diagnosed' with Polyhydramos...excessive amniotic fluid. To put it in perspective a normal amount of fluid is 5cm and my deepest pocket is 15cm....so three times. This is in Baby B's sac (smaller of the two babies, who is currently in the 16th percentil for growth ...

Michelle...

Funny you should bring this up. I too am 29 1/2 weeks (30 Friday) and constantly worry about Bbay B which is the baby on top, Baby A is on the bottom and breech, however I feel her ALL the time...most likely because she is very low, and I can feel her movements penetrating so low that ...

Hello Ladies...

I have three boxes of Follistom left over, 300IU each - Exp Sept/09. I only used 3 of the 6 boxes that I purchased. I have the pen as well if needed. Considerably cheaper than you could possibly buy... please email me if you are interested. ksmrz@aol.com Thanks Kelley

Tolbee... You weren't kidding on the pumpkin patch site..the outlet specifically!! I just ordered a bunch of stuff too...lots for my son who is entering kindergarten in the fall! GREAT DEALS! Thanks!!

Hello ladies...

Overall, it is great to see everyone doing fairly well given all our circumstances :wink:

I wanted to post in response to Rebecca's post re: difference in growth. When I went to my 27 week U/S (two weeks ago) I was told that A was 2lbs 8 oz, and B was only 1lb 11 oz. (At 24 weeks ...

I am 26 weeks pregnant with twins....the result of 2 embryo's - 3 day transfers. 1 / 7 cell mod fragments and 1/8 cell slightly fragmented. This was my first IVF....so far so good Keep your hopes and spirits up!!!

Definately keep the faith! I had 2 embryo's (out of the total 14 eggs retrieved....only the 2 made it to transfer) 1/7 cell grade B slight frag 1/6 cell grade C moderate frag - and I am now 26 weeks pregnant with twins...non-identical, so they both took. I did do Asst Hatch and I know that they ...

Since everyone was talking about their hospital bags and what to pack..funny short story...

When I had my son, I had packed a couple of outfits for him...well it was time to go home and I got all ready, got some extra's (diapers etc) for the baby.... and while it was August and hot out..he was only ...

LostGirl....Guess what....from the moment I had found out I was pregnant..I have had this HORRIBLE groin pain..and you know how I explained it to the nurses...like I have been riding a horse for 40 days, or had sex 30 times in 10 days! Not that I am glad you have this same pain....but I must admit ...

Good Luck and Congratulations! Perserverance has paid off! Hoping a nice 9 months comes your way, with a little bundle of joy at the end!!!

Yes, Estrogen levels should slowly increase during stims. At the point where it hits a specific level, is when the DR knows it is getting close to retrieving the eggs. One issue can be however, the estrogen level goes up way to high, and the stims have to be taken down some...

Good Luck!!

Hello!

I agree with everything Cocoa said re: breastfeeding.

I pumped/nursed solely for almost 9 months. I hope to make it that long with the twins, but I have no idea if I 'can'? Like I did with my son, I am going to give it about 6 weeks or so.... Hoping I can!!!! If you want sleep..this is def ...
