Yasmina: I'm sorry to hear that DS does not want to be swaddled past 4:30am. Is he an earlybird? I would always keep Andrew wrapped all
night long. I would have to unwrap him to change him but would always wrap him back up before putting him to sleep. He would flail around a bit
but would calm down once he was securely swaddled. There would be times that he would wake up crying and I would see that he had worked his arms loose. I would just wrap him back up. I think I swaddled until he was 3 months old.
Tracy: I glad to hear that you have restrained from POAS. I could never wait. When is your beta?
Rhonda: How are you? Is the nausea going away?

Hello everyone, sorry I have been out of touch.
Sadly, I have just had a chemical pregnancy. I tested positive from 12days past ovulation for 2 or 3 days, then started to bleed quite heavily. I have just done a final HPT and it was negative. So sad and frustrating !
How common are chemical pregnancies? I suppose we test much earlier than people who are not doing IVF, so may never realise they were pregnant. The bleeding started the day my AF would normally arrive.
I am so lost, I really have given up hope. Quick poll - how many of you have totally given up hope, but I mean TOTALLY, and then have gone on to have DS and DD? Yasmina, your story has inspired me as I know you have a lovely son and daughter, but did you ever totally give up hope? The difference is that you seem to have lots of eggs, I never had more than 5...
Sorry for not responding to everyone individually, I have been following all of your stories and thank you so much for checking up on me but am just a bit too down right now to write more.
lots of love

Santa,
Did you get your beta result? HPT may not be accurate.
No, I have never given up hopes to be a parent. But I did not insist on to have biological children after failed twice ivf cycles. I used to be scared of adoption when my DH first proposed to go this route to me. I pretended to agree with him though but only truly agreed after two failed cycles, not before! What I found is that as soon as I truly accepted adoption, I suddenly felt hopeful again. I also was practicing Yoga which helped a lot to easy my mind. It was then I had my positive cycles.
I had some posts (around end of 2007) to describe how I transformed from a nervous wrack to a hopeful ivfer.
Different people have different ways to deal with disappointments in life. I believe you will find the best solution soon. It's darkest before dawn...

Santa,
sorry about your chemical pregnancy. Its so cruel to get the positive and then to find out its a chemical. I did give up completely. I only did IVF once. we paid out of pocket so could only do it once. I had one shot and it failed. I was so upset. Here we spent money we didnt have and got a bfn on thanksgiving day. I really gave up. one dr. told me i would never get pregnant even with ivf and my new re that did the ivf said my chances were only 5 percent with IVF. I only had 5 eggs and only 2 fertilized. They were great grade and she gave me 80 percent after implanting those great embies and still got a negative. So, i gave up. I honestly did with everything in me. my husband and i went to a conference and I was so relaxed. I didn't think of babies at all. because i gave up. i decided it was God's will and everything happens for a reason. so the very next month after ivf i was pregnant naturally!!! I think stress really does affect things. oh and that was with one tube also. I hope you get pregnant. I wish you the best.

Hi everyone,
Im having a girl. found out last night. My daughter is so happy. that is what she wanted. my son is indifferent. I guess he wanted to stay the baby(14). ha ha. however, he smiled so big when i said its a girl. he said well i guess i still get all the attention being the only boy. that little stinker. i hope he comes around. i think when she gets here he will warm up to the idea. My nausea is better, but still here. i bought ginger root pills and b6. hoping that will help too. I go next week for the second ultrasound for downs. I will keep you updated. take care to all.

Santa: I just wanted to say that I'm so sorry for your chemical pregnancy.
Let me weigh in on your other comment regarding giving up. DH and I had 2 failed IUI's and 2 failed IVF's. We met with our RE to say that we were done and that we were proceeding with our adoption from China. RE said that we should at least try a frozen cycle, since I had 4 frozen eggs. We agreed. RE also scheduled an HSG x-ray for me prior to the frozen cycle, as he said it sometimes increases pregnancy rates for the few cycles following it. DH and tried on our own following the HSG x-ray while waiting to start my frozen cycle. Well, we never got to proceed with the frozen cycle
that time, since I got pregnant naturally. Our DS has just turned 2 years old.
Rhonda: Great news on your little girl!! I would love to have a daughter too!
Yasmina: Have you had any luck with DS sleeping more?
Regards,
Tammy

Tammy,
I finally decided to post about parenting problems at parenting site. So I deleted some of the posts from this site. In short, no, Maxime has ups and downs. I still don't get much sleep in the night. DD is also acting up in the same time. I am going insane...

Yasmina: Sorry to hear that you are having such a rough time. I know how you feel, as I went through those sleep deprived days with Andrew.
He has recently reverted back in his sleep habits. 1.5 months ago he started going down at night with just a couple of stories read to him in his bed. I would give him a drink and tell him goodnight. Initially he fussed at the beginning but got so that he would go to sleep on his own without a whimper. Now, after he has just turned 2, he will not go to sleep on his own without crying his eyes out. He almost seems scared or having separation anxiety. He wants me to hold him or lie down on the daybed in his room while he falls asleep. The problem is that as soon as I think he is asleep and try to sneak out, he pops up and starts calling me. He has had a few nights where he has gotten so upset that he has puked in his bed. One night he threw up twice. It is just easier to bring him to bed with us. The problem is that we either have to go to bed early with him or keep him up late with us. Ughhhhhhhh. I'm extremely tired, as I do not sleep as well with him in our bed.

Hi everyone, thank you for your kind words.... only others going through the same thing understand how hellish this IVF can be...
But Yasmina, Rhonda and Tammy, wow, your stories are inspirational. I think DH and I will try naturally this month while I wait for hormones to get back to normal levels, etc. I almost forgot the natural way, as I have been so focussed on IVF !!

Good Sunday morning ya'll 
Santa-I was saddened to read of your news. I admire your positive attitude. you go girl.
Yasmina-so sorry to hear of your struggles. I know I just have one and at the moment do not have the imagination to envision caring for two, but remember it will get better.
Rhonda-A girl! So happy for you. Good luck in resisting buying outfits for your wee one to be. I still have a hard time resisting especially when I have 7 boxes of hand-me downs sitting in DD's closet. Happy planning!
Kat, Tracy thinking of you
Where does the time go? DD continues to thrive. She really enjoys seing other 'little people'. I've been taking her to story time for toddlers and younger. All the stimulus in watching wears her out. Thankfully she is on a good schedule now where she is sleeping from 10p to on average 7a. DH and I are thankfull for the full nights rest we get these days. But we hear it's all about to change once she begins to cut those teeth.
Wishing everying one all the best
