Jen J- thanks for putting my mind at ease... I called my doctor yesterday just to make sure and he said the same thing (brown was ok, but red could be alarming).

Have a great night...

Hi girls

Well another day has passed, thank god.
Had a bad day yesterday, feeling very down, snappy and tearful. Ended with me and dh on the sofa, cuddled up watching Football Factory--nothing like a bit of violence to sort me out haha.

Am terrified of tomorrow, day 7 as i keep comparing it to last cycle. Silly i know but this is so hard. I hardly slept last night and have convinced myself its all over. We are not even half way yet and i am just waiting for AF to arrive. Wish i could get these thought out of my head but just feel our little embies are not around???????????????????


Jenn- Only stayed in bed after transfer and now am resting but doing odd jobs. There is only so much daytime trash tv i can watch. Does get a bit boring and i feel guilty at times just dossing around but then i remember its for my embies.

Nicola - How was your scan today, let me know all the info.

Catch up tomorrow

Love Jen

So sorry you had a bad day!!! Sending you a big HUG!!! It is so hard to keep up the PMA during this time... Just keep taking care of yourself and come here to vent as much as you need too!! We are here for you!!!

Nictor
Hope you have lots of follies on your scan today!!! Good Luck honey!!!!

All the ladies that have Scans today, I wish you the best and let us know ASAP how it goes!!!!

As for me, we called yesterday to get the home study process started!! EEEKKKK!! They put our paperwork in the mail yesterday!!! They said they would go as fast or as slow as we wanted... I want the home study over with as quickly as possible, the rest of the process, money will determine how fast that goes!! But my dear JenJ has told me that the home study is good for a year and then very easy to update if needed!!!

Sending you all lots of love and prayers!!!!

Jen1d- I know it's hard, but try to stay positive. I was very emotional too. I started to get snippy and teary too. It's just the stress and the constant worry. I think it plays with your mind. You're almost half way there!!

Nictor- I'm sorry you haven't felt well lately. Let us know how your scan goes.

Jeck- I wrote to you on the Dec./Jan. thread. But i'll say good luck again!! GOOD LUCK!!!
Jenn

Hello ladies! I have been MIA because of being sick and trying to keep up at work. I have had a terrible cold and can not take anything, therefore, misserable! I think I am starting to get better.

How is everyone doing? Jen1d I hope the 2ww flys by for you. I am sorry you have been having a rough time. :-( It will all pay off in the end! :-)

Nictor, hope you are feeling better and growing lots of follies :-)

You are all in my thoughts and prayers!

Jen1d-I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your. That 2ww is a killer isn't it!! Hang in there, you'll have your answer soon. Don't give up hope!!

Nicola-Sorry you didn't get your scan but hopefully there will be tons of follies waiting for you on Friday!

Jeck-Congratulations on taking the first step! How exciting! I'm so excited for you guys to have this experience and I wish you all the best!


As for me, today was my first scan and it went really well! We saw the little embryo, just one, and it was very strong with a good solid heartbeat. Was very cool to see it flashing on the screen and put our minds at ease a lot to see it. I feel like we made it over a hurdle today!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Thanks girls for all your good wishes, its great to have so much support from people who understand.

Have been feeling a few twinges today, which has been making a bit nervous as then i dread going to the loo. On the 2nd cycle it was the 7th night i started to spot so i'm praying to get over tonight at 22.00 then another day has gone. Tomorrow is only half ways stage for me and there is sosssssssooooooooooo long to go.

I have been feeling some tingling in the old nip department today too--could this be af coming or even implantation has occured??????? Not dwelling too much on anything. Bought the old hpt, stood back and placed it in the back of the cupboard. I am never tempted to use it but will if i bleed early as i cant stand to continually wait for the test date.
Anyway am always happy when another day is over without hassle but i know anything can happen in an hour :roll:
More waiting and waiting and waiting.

Will catch up with you all tomorrow

Jen1d, please hang in there and don't worry to much (easier said than done). Relax and pampered yourself with a good evening. Everything will turn out fine!! :)

Ladies, I went to my doctor today and he gave me my 3rd scan. Please hold on tight before you continue reading this. The doctor just wanted to make sure both the beanies are doing good. Instead of 2 beanies, we saw 3 beanies!!! :shock: We were in shock!! My doctor couldn't believe what he saw, and mummered 'I remembered I transferred only 3 embies, and their were in just OK quality?'. :roll:

The doctor is now hoping that one of the beanie does not continue to grow, otherwise, we will have to make a very tough decision!! :?

Can you believe that??? I can't believed that myself ... triplets ... GEEE!!! :shock:

There is more to worry ... we can't see the heartbeat yet and the size are smaller than I expected ... even though my doctor told me that it's normal, I can't stop worrying as all you ladies who had a scan at 6w saw your beanies heartbeat. He will see me again next Thursday. I really hoping to see the beanies' heartbeat this time. :?

Hi girls

Welll the dreaded 7 day at 22.00 target has passed without any horrid witch appearing. Another day is always a bonus eh?
Seven days to go but i'm really worried about tomorrow as the pessaries finish tonight. I have to get to Friday without any bleeding then i will feel a bit more positive but there is still a long way to go :twisted:

Omhee - What a shocker eh? WE are only allowed by law her to put 2 embies back to stop multiple pregnancies. But hey look on the positive side, your family will be complete and no more awful ivf again :lol: Hang in there, it will all be fine.

Hi to everyone else, am thinking of you all.

Have a good weekend

WooHoo!! Jen I am so glad you made it over the hump!!! What are you going to be stopping?? Hope you have a wonderful weekend!! When will you be testing? and will it be a beta or HPT??? Good luck!!!!

Ophee
Honey, I was at work yesterday when I read your post and I fell out in the floor for you!!! LOL!!! Gosh what a shocker!!! I hope everything turns out good, I know it would be hard on your body and the babies to have triplets. I know it also will be hard to make that kind of decision... Good luck and let us know how your next scan goes!!

Nictor
How did your follie scan go?? Hope all is well and they are growing nicely and it won't be long till your ER!!!

As for everyone else, I miss reading you! I knew that it would eventually come that people would move on the different threads and I would have to stalk you all and hunt you down...LOL!! I hope that you all will come and bump this thread up every once in a while so that we have once place that we can check on everyone! Just an idea!! To the BFP's, I think I can speak for the ones of us that didn't get that result, don't feel bad about giving us you pregnancy updates, I know that I am thrilled for you all and it doesn't bother me to hear your news compared to someone on the street that we know just thought about getting preggers and they did... We shared the struggle with you all and know the emotional rollercoster ride that you had to ride to get where you are...and that gives us hope that it could happen for us too someday!!!

As for me, we got our paper work for the homestudy on Thursday and we sat down all that day and got most of it done. I am going to go thru it again this morning and see if we missed anything before I mail it off!! EEEKKK! I mailed off the forms yesterday for our background checks to see if we are criminals or child abusers! If anyone has any questions, let me know and I will share with you as I learn and go thru the process myself!!!

Lots of love and prayers to you all!!!

Hey ladies!

I am back from my HSG yesterday and it went so much better than my previous 2 I have had done in the past. The Dr. told me to cough and when I did she gave me a shot of lidocaine into my cervix and I didn't even feel it! So it was numb and didn't even feel that catheter go in. I was so glad it didn't hurt. And low and behold, my left tube that was totally blocked 3 years ago is now open! How does that happen?!
Well it is open and then you see the big hydrosalphinx! So they know now that is why my last cycle did not work. They want to take the tube now but I have so many questions. My real Dr. was in surgery so they told me he would call me to discuss the options. I just have so many questions, wondering if maybe it will just go away on it's own. I don't know it's just when Doctors tell me there is no way you can get pregnant naturally with this there, I start wondering... I know so many ladies that doctors have told them they will never get pregnant for whatever reason and they do!

So we will take the holidays to think about it, and probably make the decision to do surgery sometime early next year. I really do want to try a frozen cycle since I have such good embies that are frozen!
At least I know now why it hasn't been working...it takes that load off your shoulders thinking it's something you are doing.

Take care all of you Octo prego ladies!! I just know you are going to have the best holidays feeling your bump growing and sharing that with your family! You are all very blessed. To all the BFN's this month, believe that we will have our time too. Keep the faith, never give up! Pray hard!
God will work it all out in His time!
:D

Love,
Allison

Hi girls

Had a major panic this morning as i feel different, just like af is coming. I felt like this last time and it did come so am not feeling very confident and just wish i could sleep until Friday. Sorry to be negative girls, i know its not over yet but it feels like its on the way. Am going out to buy my Chrimbo cards and sample a cup cake in the new Starbucks to take my mind off things (as if that will work).

Good luck for all the scans taking place, your lucky girls so enjoy every second.
