Helene – Thanks for asking … I actually feel a lot better than I did yesterday. The cramping following the ET concerned me a little but the Ibuprofen and Xanax really helped calm my uterus. So it is in god’s hands now! I have to say that I am relieved that you are pregnant w/ a singleton because I was scared for you medically if you were pregnant w/ twins because of your recent delivery. I wasn’t sure if your uterus could tolerate two babies in there. I think some of the concern from your docs is just for your overall health. And, I have gotten to know you and I just want the best for you and your baby. Remember, not to push your body too hard as they say it can be very hard on the mother’s body to get pregnant before a year has passed from the last delivery. So I think you will be fine w/ this pregnancy but I am referring to future pregnancies. This is just your friend being concerned for you! I am talking more from experience … I didn’t share this before but after I lost my daughter Ashley at 21 weeks, I tried to get pregnant right away (1 month or even 2 months afterwards) against all the advice from friends, family, and several of my close physicians who are my friends (my OB said even though Ashley wasn’t term, it was just like I gave birth to a term baby and my body needed time to recover). I think my body just wasn’t ready for another pregnancy yet and it didn’t work. My manager went through the same thing … she lost her son at 20 weeks (and she had to deliver him as I did) and she tried getting pregnant right away and her body just wasn’t ready. I think it took exactly 1 year for her to get pregnant again but I know everyone is different. Please just consider all that I have said for your future decisions and please take care of yourself.
I am also happy that you feel comfortable on this site also because the ladies aren’t judging you (I am glad that neg. lady is gone from this site)! You know how we feel as we have previously told you because I think only you have the control over your own body and I know you will make the right decision for you and DH. Here are a lot of hugs!!!
AFM- this is day 1 of taking it easy and I have to say I’m not doing a very good job of it because I keep answering my cell phone when my doctors’ offices keep calling. And, my father isn’t feeling well, so I am calling in favors to some of doctor friends so he can get in early to be evaluated. Oh course, next my DH calls and says how are you doing and I told him and there was silence … then he said you have to think of the baby now stop answering the phone!!!! Well, I haven’t heard from my RE’s office yet to see how many embryos made it to the freezer but I do know my beta is scheduled for 4/16th. I can’t wait!!!

Oh god Angela I am so sorry for your little one... How sad and hurful. Thanks for the kind words it really means a lot to me.
Here is what things happend to me the way it did I mean I really had it all planned but I guess we can't plan everything
First off I was going to go later in the year but then I though my with 12 embies, 3 frozen together that means 4 pregnancies if they all work... so I though I am 45 now I can't be 50 when I do this... so since my cycles are 3 months long I though ok I will try the first ones now which will probably NOT work and so I would have put back the only want good one and one bad one and it would have failled... next 3 months later I would have tried for a second FET so that means June so 6 months after delivery and so it takes the embies 3 months to really affect your uterus much so that means 9 months... sounded great.
But IVF OB decided to thaw a lot I guess NOT knowing I had a c-section in December but I knew so if he would have asked I would have said NO don't thaw any more it's ok I will be back it's not costing me anything these are fresh cycles and I already paid for 3 transferes up front anyways... Not a rush...
So I though ok in june it's going to work so the following here close to 47 do the second third transfer and finally last at 49... See if I would have had a good success i was going to help childless couples and carry the babies for those who can't carry like my friend... but since it looks like out of 12 I will be having maybe 2 children then those will be my 2 I wanted to start with... I really though more would work... I am happy I don't have multiples it would NOT have been good and that was NOT MY doing... So God took care of it for us
My sister is a nurse and she says it's going to be fine... I am sure it will be... specially with a good HR OB it's going to be fine.
Sorry girls for the long post... thanks again
Angela... btw I hope all your embies make it to freeze... you deserve the best like all of us here
Hugs.
Helene
