gi- my gosh, i'm so sorry. I started worrying about you last week when I saw it had been a few days since you posted. I can't even imagine how hard this must be for you, with all that you've been through already, but know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself and please write me if you need anything at all.

I "graduated"(thats what my ivf clinic said) from the ivf clinic today. Baby is 9 wk 2days and growing well. Next step is screening for any anomalies. I am taking one step at a time.......and I will be honest....I am always fearing for the worst these days......Is that OK or should I be positive all the time.....dont know how to handle the stress......

I don't know if anyone remembers me anymore... I haven't posted in weeks, but I have been keeping up with the boards.
gi I'm so sorry that has happened to you. I can only imagine the agony you must be going through. Part of why I've been afraid to post is because we're still waiting for when it's "safe". Although I have a feeling nothing will ever feel "safe" now, even after the child is born.
deftonesmo I am stopping the injections today, at 10w3d. But still taking suppositories and switching to oral progesterone. My doctor says at 12 weeks, I should be able to come off of all meds, except prenatal vitamins of course.
mjay I've started looking for an OB too, but it seems to be very difficult to get an initial appointment with any. I have the names of several recommended, so I plan to take my time and choose wisely. My clinic will be discharging me at 12 weeks. I will miss my doctor! I wish he did deliveries too.
AFM, so far all of my ultrasounds have been great. We've heard the heartbeat and gotten pictures for each of them (a total of 4 now). The baby is growing so fast! So incredible when you think it started off as a one-celled egg, then an 8-celled embryo. I can't believe the baby is already 1.5 inches and my uterus is the size of a grapefruit. Is anyone starting to show yet? I don't think I am, and I still fit into my clothes, no weight gain, but then again I've never been skinny.
No nausea as of yet (I know, somehow I got really lucky!), but almost every day I get so tired I sleep for 2 hours when I get home from school. I keep hearing/reading that sex is supposed to be great while pregnant, but other than the first few weeks when we were not supposed to have sex yet, I haven't really been all that in the mood. I was totally missing sex, but now we've been cleared for it, it seems like we're too scared or something. And it hasn't been all that great. Hopefully that improves. How's everyone else's sex going?
I can't wait the two more weeks before we can start telling people I'm pregnant. Most importantly, our parents would be so ecstatic. Each week I'm feeling a little more confident nothing will go wrong, but it is still really scary to let myself fully expect this baby to happen. So it's flirting with danger a little bit to think about what color the nursery will be, and how nice to take off the end of the year and have the entire summer with a newborn.

Hi all!
Gi - I am so sorry for your loss...my heart breaks for you.
I had my appointments yesterday with my regular OB and the specialists since I am having 3. They both talked to us about doing the CVS...one seemed to lean more towards doing it and one seemed to lean away from it. I am 30 and this is my first pregnancy...is anyone else considering the CVS that is having triplets on here? It is such a hard decision!
I think of you all often and hope you continue to do well in your pregnancies!

HI Everyone-
I graduated from the RE today at 10wks 2 days. All 3 babies are the same size and have heart rates within a beat of eachother. They were all moving around alot also, which was really cool to see.
I threw up for the first time today..was feeling hungry and didn't get the food in my tummy in time
Other that that, all is well. I have my 2nd OB appt next week allready!!
Have a good day everyone.

Mixed feeling
This week has been of a mixed feeling.
Felt as if it happened to me ....on hearing about gi's news.
On the other hand I moved on to my OB doc from the ivf clinic....which is an excitement but still myself and my family haven't been able to enjoy these moments fully.....just because of the fear of unknown.....Dont know if its only me OR others feel the same.
I will be going for the CVS or amniocentesis....whichever the doc recommends.I will be breaking the news only after I feel comfortable in my heart and untill I cannot hide anymore(Honestly I want to run out and cry out to the world that I am pregnant)
The developmental wheel says that the baby will be viable after 1/30/10 .....any thoughts...!!
Sex has taken a back seat .....just for the fear of I guess "unknown" With my first child after I found that I was pregnant....I think we had the best sex ever. But I guess we both are suppressing our emotions!!

Hi ladies,
Just popping in to say a big thanks for all your kind words. Still waiting to lose the baby no bleeding just tiny bit of spotting, have scan tomorrow so hopefully will get to organise a d&c asap. In middle of changing clinics and transfering my rather large file! Hopefully new clinic will have some fresh ideas and we will discuss if donor may be a better route.
Glad to hear ye are all continuing to do well, I wish ye a safe and healthy pregnancy. I will continue to ck on your progress over next 7 months.

Hi Everyone,
I have decided against the amnio and the CVS. We had 5 IVFs and I think whatever happens happens. The risks are too high for me to justify the means. Of course, with 33 and no specific genetic disorders that are traceable (cannot yet be pinpointed in the genepool), I am low risk. My doc actually advised against it unless we would decide to abord if something like down syndrome came up.
Gi - I hope the clinic you are transferring to has some fresh ideas. Sometimes a new environment and fresh set of eyes can help.

May- I know what you mean, I felt like I got kicked in the gut when gi shared her news. I know what you mean about worrying too, I feel the same way. I have an ultrasound and I feel good for, oh, about a day, before I start to worry again. I think it's natural and I know I have always been a worrier about everything, so I am just trying to put things into perspective and keep a positive attitude. I can let you in on a little secret that helps me, I have a "worry" stone that has the word "blessings" etched in to it that i carry in my pocket and every time I start to worry, I rub my fingers across that word and I just tell myself that this will all work out and try to have faith. I know something like that is helpful to me because it's a reminder to keep up the PMA and before you know it, you'll be making yourself think those thoughts without the help of even the stone. Hang in there, your baby will be just fine, you're just being a good parent!
Faith- Happy graduation! Glad to hear all 3 babies are doing well, that's so great!
Allie- I'm having twins and I don't think i'm doing the CVS, but I did schedule an NT scan and I think that'll be all the testing I do. I just have to make sure it's covered by insurance first since I heard that they are not medically necessary, some insurance policies don't cover them.
dtao- Of course we remember you! It's good to see you're back. Glad to hear everything is going well!
AFM- I graduated from my RE today at 11 weeks. Had my last ultrasound at that clinic and everything looks great. I'll miss them, it was really a great place. I saw the midwife at the OB's office yesterday and they just did an initial exam and took a million vials of blood (I have no idea why!). I have an appointment with the regular OB in 2 weeks and I have an appointment for an NT scan in 3 weeks. Things are moving along! I just read in my "prenancy week by week" book all about the 11th week. I love that it shows pictures of the actual size of the baby, I always put my fingers up next to it and measure it and then put them against my belly. After I got back from the RE today, I told my boss and coworkers. I felt like now was as good a time as any considering I won't have another ultrasound for a few weeks. It's starting to become pretty obvious though too.

my OB appt is next week and I definitely plan on getting the regular and h1n1 flu vaccines . . . no mercury and no nasal sprays, of course . . . I've seen how nasty the swine flu can be . . . not to mention the horrible story of a pregnant mom who had the swine flu, delivered, and then passed away . . . so sad . . . so I will not be taking any chances . . . bring on the vaccines

dtao: so glad to hear from you. i was so worried. how did the 2nd round of interviews go for the asst. principal job?
gi: i already posted on a different thread you started, but know i'm still thinking of you and dh.
SEX- my DH finally admitted that he is afraid b/c of the pregancy. i'm going crazy. we have our first OB appt today, so hopefully the dr will put him at ease. we still do other things but no intercourse
may and everyone: we have to have PMA. i know this is scary, especially after gi's news. but if we aren't going to be positive and hopeful about our pregnancies, who will? for me, EVERYONE knows i'm pregnant b/c of the OHSS. it's funny now, b/c my stomach is actually getting smaller. as far as worrying right now, all we can do is take extra good care of ourselves, pray (if you're comfortable with that), and BE POSITIVE! everything else is out of our control.
jg- love the worry stone! definitely therapeutic.
HINI- i prayed and prayed about it. i'm definitely getting it. with my internship, i'm in and out of ERs and my full time job is in a detention center so there are about 450 kids there. i figured that the effects of the vaccine would be less than the meds if i actually got it and survived.

Hi Ladies,
I need your advice!
I had a scare today, I was at work and about to go get some lunch and I stood up and felt a gush. I have had a discharge for awhile now since using crinone gel, so I wear pantyliners, but I went to the bathroom and the pantyliner was covered in bright red blood. I freaked out, called RE (even though I graduated yesterday) and they told me to come right in. They did an u/s and both babies are fine. They looked around for a blood vessel or any other cause, but didn't find anything. My best guess is that at the OB Anyway, doctor put me on complete bedrest. He tried to do a week, but I talked him down to Monday. Okay, here's where my advice comes in, I have no problem missing work, but I have class all weekend and if I miss it, it's like missing a month's worth or more of classes. This class is only offered once every two years, so it's not like I can just pick it up next semester or anything. I haven't talked to my teacher yet, so I don't know what my options are, but I need your input. Would you go to class and take it easy and keep your feet up? I don't know what to do.
