Hi -

This is my first time on the "Parents" side and I just noticed your post and can totally relate. My twins - Charlotte and Jack, will be 12 weeks on Thursday. Your situation sounds very, very famliar and I can totally sympathize. The first month is a blur and then you just get into a routine ...

Congratulations! I had my first ultrasound at 6w3d - twins! Twin A was at 124 and Twin B was only at 102 and was a little behind in development. My doctor was not very positive about Twin B, but I had faith the little peanut would pull through. By the next ultrasound at 9 weeks, Twin A was at 172 ...

Hi Ladies -

I hope everyone is doing well. I seem to be experiencing some of the same symptoms as a lot of you.

Jeneden - I have had those sharp pains in my ovaries off and on since my transfer. I would get them when I was getting up to get out of bed or sometimes turning over while sleeping. I ...

Hi -

Its been a while since I've posted - I was on vacation, stomach flu . . .twice and have had just horrible morning sickness, actually more like all day sickness.

After a couple rounds of stomach flu, I was quite worried about the babies. Thankfully I had an ultra sound this week only to find ...

Hi Becky -

Thank you for sharing your story. I was having a bit of a bad day today. Your story brought me right back to positive thinking. I'm hoping my second u/s turns out as wonderful as yours. Take care and good luck with the rest of your pregnancy. Thanks again!

Thank you for the warm welcome. Congratulations to you on your twins - very exciting. I'm just patiently waiting for my next u/s. Your story was very encouraging - I like those! Unfortunately my u/s it isn't until Aug. 20th - at 9 weeks. I read about all these other people going for ...

Hi -

I just realized there was a message board for those that are pregnant after treatment - what a relief! Congrats to all of you, as I know what a long, emotional road IVF can be. I'm hoping I can join your thread, as I too have many of the same concerns. I think I was truly happy for one day ...

Hi Kimberly,

Thank you so much for the reassuring and inspiring words. They really put me at ease. I'm keeping the faith and hoping for the best. Go Twin B!

Good luck to you with the rest of your pregancy and thanks again!

Hi -

Happily, we recieved a BFP on our second IVF/ICSI attempt. I had my first ultra sound on Thursday at 6w3d and it was not as positive as I would have hoped. They saw two sacs and two heartbeats, although the doctor told us not to get excited, as he said Twin B may not make it. Twin A measured ...

I know what you mean about the IVF's - totally draining on both a physical and emotional level. And I will warn you that the second round is worse. I was so nervous the entire time knowing where things could take a turn for the worst. Not to mention you know how bad it will hurt if it ...

I had my ET last Friday and I feel very different this time- this is my second IVF cycle. Starting about 6 hours after my transfer I had the feeling of mild menstrual cramps that continued off and on all day Saturday. Sunday was not much of anything - just a few sharp pains - when I was trying to be ...

Hi -

I'm not sure the answer but I'm in the exact same situation. We started down this road due to my husband. Everything is believed to be normal with me. We did ICSI in April and with 9 eggs retreived, 8 fetilized, but we had just barely 2 to put back in. We had to do assisted hatching on one ...

Hi Rachel -

Thanks - I think I'm going to proceed with a treatment. I'm hooked!

Hi Tia -

I'm not sure what protocol you are on, but I thought I would pass this along as well. After 2 weeks of BCP, I was off for 3 days before starting my stims (bravelle/menopur). I actually had another period - it lasted 5 days. Again, the nurses said it is normal, so if it happens to you, don ...

I'm on my second IVF cycle and have incorporated acupunture this time. My ET will be on Friday and I am planning to have my acupuncturist at the surgery center for the protocol right before and right after transfer. My acupuncturist also recommends going for a treatment 5 days after ET - she said it ...
