Ange congratulation on the heartbeat!! It is quite amazing, especially as it is beating so fast!
I am glad to see that the risk of miscarring is "only" around 5%.
I cannot wait for this month to be over, so I (and you nearly) be 12 weeks!

Jackie, no syptoms hun!! I guess you are lucky, although I understand your worries. I have not been sick but I have this " I dont feel well " feeling all day. And I really do not feel like eating (I have lost weight!) .

Hugs to all

Just popped on quickly to give you an update. The midwife went ok this morning. I'm measuring 23 weeks already. The scan was ok. The baby's kidneys have excess fluid which needs to be moinitored, I have to have another scan in 8 weeks to check them again. They couldn't see the sex as the baby was laying in the wrong position. Was a little disappointed with the scan as the position of the monitor meant only the consultant and Paul could see anything, he didn't turn it round to show me a thing!

Sorry for no personals it's been a long day so I'm going for a cuppa!

Hope you are all well.

Speak soon

Good morning everyone

Jo- I can't believe that they didn't move the screen for you to see. That is so unfair. Did you get any pictures to bring home.

Nimble - I am glad to hear you are coping so well.

Ang - It is a lovely feeling when you see the heartbeat. I was interested to read that the risk of miscarriage is now only 5%. I guess that means we are now over another hurdle.

Souris- It is lovely to hear from you again. I hope that life has settled down a bit for you now.

Jackie - Nearly 12 weeks- Wow. That is nearly 1/3 of the way through. I can't beleive it as it only seems like yesterday that you were posting your BFP. I can't wait to reach that point as I believe that is when the sickness might decrease a bit.

As for me I had my midwife booking appointment yesterday which basically seemed to involve filling out lots of forms in triplicate and taking loads of blood. I came home with loads of hand outs to read though which was nice. Apparently the pregnancy is classed as high risk as it is an ICSI one so they want to keep a close eye on me. It is therefore got to be a consultant led pregnancy. I am hoping that I can get the consultant who looked after me during the ICSI as I think that would be wonderful, and he is a lovely chap. I am waiting for the NT scan which should be in a couple of weeks and then see the midwife at 16 weeks. I am unsure what to do about CVS. DH thinks I should take it as he doesn't really want a baby with Downs but I am worried about the possibility of a miscarriage. I guess we will have to wait and see what the NT scan shows.

During the last few days I have been having a tabbing type pain on the left side of my abdiomen. I didn't mention it to the midwife as it seemed to have gone. Then last night it was really bad but seems to have gone again this morning. DH is mad that I didn't mention it yesterday, but to be honest I had forgotten about it. Has anyone else had any similar type of pains. I know when I had the 7 week scan there was still quite a few follicules on my ovaries that they think have turned into cycsts so I think it could be one of those.

Hello girls

Angela, I think we are a week or so apart. I also did ICSI but no one consider my pregnancy as high risks!! I too have some pains, nothing horrible but some kind of cramps. At my 7 weeks scan, my ovaries were still big, so I think it might be why. What is CVS for? We can now in France have a blood test done for dawn, my doc says it is accurate and show the percentage of having a dawn baby. Then if the blood shows that the risks are too high, they perform a "amniocentese" (ok, it is in French but I think it is CVS. Basically they take a placenta sample with a needle)

Jo, may I ask how many weeks you are? Does 23 weeks looks big already?? How insensitive from the consultant for the scan! All the screens can be moved, you should have asked him!

Ok, that's all for now

Souris
Hi honey.. You are coming along I love your ticker.. I had the "I dont feel right feeling" for a little bit too and I think I also lost some weight in the start.. I am starting to feel more normal now...

Jo
I am so sorry about the scan and that you did not get to see your little one.. Did you get pics at least? Next time I would demand that they turn that screen that is so rude..I hope you got to have some rest honey you have been through so much lately.

Anglea
I had the same stabbing pains and I also think its like you said the cyst thing.. I had the extra follies and at the last scan their were still some there... Its crazy.. How are you feeling now.. DH's can get so mad at us but they have to know when we are with the docs and nurses we are not thinking about everything.. Hope you are feeling better...

Nimble
Hello honey just wanted to pop in and say we are thinking of you honey and saying all our prayers for you and DH...

For me nothing much new.. I am still not really showing and no real symptoms to speak of.. I am feeling ok and trying to be good and drinking my water as I am told..

Love and hugs to all

Hey Ladies!

First off I wanted to thank all of you for your wonderful support, I couldn't have made it thru this cycle without you all...

I started spotting on Tuesday and I so happened to be going to the clinic for blood work that day so while I was there they did a scan and saw the sac in the uterus but my hcg had not increased like it should, so they told me to come back today for another scan and beta. I continued to spot off and on and had bleeding yesterday afternoon. When they did the scan today, they could no longer find the sac, so as I suspected I miscarried yesterday... I am a little sad but I am more so frustrated then anything... My doc was out of town so I have a follow up with her on the 13th...

We have not made any decisions as of yet... I know that we have 8 frozen but I am getting emotionally drained from all this... and really ready to move on with my life... We might consider doing the FET cycles if we find the money but we will most likely start the adoption process also... Will not make any major decisions until after the holidays because my clinic shuts down anyway...

Thanks again for everything and I truely wish you all the best.... All of you that have gotten your BFP's I wish you a happy, stress free pregnancy and those of you the did not, I wish you the best in what ever path you decide to take next... I know there is a special plan for each of us and sometimes we have detours and get off track but it will all work out in the end... I have come to the realization that life is like a never ending train ride and sometimes we fall off and sometimes we even get run over but the train of life is going to keep going wither we are on it or not and our part is to jump back on and make to most of it and enjoy what we do have...

Lots of love and prayers
Jessica

I am so sorry to hear your news. It seems so unfair that you have gone through all of this treatment only to miscarry. Take time for yourself and look after both you and DH.

Jeck,

I'm so so sorry to hear your news. It's not enough of all the emotions we have to go through with IVF but then to endure such loss. I know words will not heal the pain for you and your DH. Take time and you know we are all here for you with whatever decision and road in life you decide to follow.

take care
lots of love
Nimble xx

Hi,

Just a quick note to see how you all are. I am still around the same, although the sickness is starting to ease a little bit. Now if I could get the tiredness to go to I would be laughing. I can't believe that it will be 10 weeks tommorow. The first couple of weeks really dragged but time seems to be flying past now. I can't wait now for the next scan to check that the baby is alright.

I hope that you are all well

Angela

[nimble]

hi

Angela - glad things are going so well - 10 wks - can't believe its that already - only 2 more weeks to go and you'll be in your 2nd tri!! Fanstastic.

How is everyone else?

My clinic has finally referred me to the hospital as there was no showing of any m/c. Had another scan this morning and the results were still the same, I know I was being silly, but I was hoping for some sort of miracle that they had made a mistake and all was well. Denial probably, but they have scheduled me in tomorrow to have a D&C and all the emotions from the last couple of weeks has started to hit me. They did offer me to wait another week to see if a natural m/c would happen but think I would rather prefer to not wait as I feel I'm just in limbo.

I'm feeling so sad today as reality has finally set in.

Nimble xx
