Beautiful Babies Due in 2011 (Combined Group)

[vicky1707]

Hi ladies,

Not checked in for a while - been busy with 2 Bank Holidays for Easter & the Royal Wedding!

Leora - Sorry about your friend - some people are just plain stupid at times!! When my friends talk about someone who's been TTC for "ages" it's only been about 4 or 5 months! Erm, 7 years is ages not 4 months! So annoying!!

Blair - Good Luck for your u/s tomorrow. Hope everything goes well

Lou - your baby bump looks ACE

Kay - Congrats on having a boy

AFM - I'm slowly going crazy waiting for my 1st u/s on 12th May!! Still not really feeling any 'different' apart from constantly weeing! I'm still off work on sick leave (luckily I work for a big company and get good sick leave!) so I've been able to have sleep ins and little naps in the afternoon if I feel sleepy. My breasts kill on a night, during the night and in a morning. I've been having a few stomach cramps these last few days, like AF is going to make an appearance I've had no bleeding/spotting so not totally worried but still a little bit!

I've spoken to my closest friends and they all said they didn't have any major symptoms until they were about 8 wks, so I'm trying to not worry about lack of symptoms!

I think because my unit only need a positive HPT I feel I've been left to get on with it! I feel like I want a blood test or something else should be happening! I feel like I can't believe I'm pregnant just from a HPT!! But on the other hand we have never gotten this far! We've never achieved a pregnancy even though we've had 3 previous fresh IVF cycles and 1 FET cycle all with the same medications!

I guess it's normal to feel this way - it's so nice to have you guys to say all this to and know you all know how I feel!

Hope everyone is well x x x

Mellow: Your strength is amazing. Thank you for posting the link to your blog. I'll be following your progress and wishing you the best. Hang in there.

Mellow - sending all my love to you and DH x Keep strong x x x x

[DandMe]

I wanted to give my thoughts and love to Mellow and her family. I can't imagine what you are enduring, both emotionally and physically. We are sending strength and prayers.

I had a small scare today - started having contractions a couple days ago... braxon hicks but very strong and brought on by stress or any kind of exercise. My doctor was concerned, had us do an NST which was great, then insisted on an IV of fluids. Seems I am stressed and dehydrated.... and at some risk for pre-term labour. So I'm resting, chugging down the water and taking things easy. Baby Brogan was super healthy and bumping around most of the time, cervix was high and closed.. I am just getting pretty freaking miserable to be honest. can't sleep, can't walk much and feeling moody and groucy and guilty for feeling that way!

Just a quIck update after the ultrasound but since I'm on my phone I can't talk much. Even though the doctor was thrilled to see that there were 2 sacs with very healthy looking babies (and heartbeats), turned out we are in the lucky 1% of patients who have an embryo split and we also have a set of identical twins. So as of right now we have 3 littles all with strong heartbeats. He said 25% of the time one or more will reabsorb but for now things are looking good. Will post more later.

Wow Blair!! You've got our first set of trips on the board! I'm sure you've got some mixed emotions going - happiness over the heartbeats and nervousness over carrying and then caring for 3, but I'm glad to hear that so far everyone looks healthy. Congrats!!

Blaaaaaaiiir!!!!!! Congrats triplet momma!!!! That would totally explain the nausea!!! I'm over the moon for you!!! When is the next ultrasound??

[to_have_fun08]

Congrats Blair!! I know another gal that had the same thing happen to her. She went on to a good pregnancy excpet for m/s and I think she delivered at 36 weeks which is really good for triplets.

Blair! OMG! Triplets! Wow! Congrats!

Sonya: So sorry for that scare! Take it easy my friend.

Blair: Congratulations!!! X3!!!! WOWEE!!!!

[leorira11]

anyone else watch Bravo's new show "Pregnant in Heels" - basically, this woman Rosie is a 'maternity concierge' -- she caters to pregnant women (very wealthy!) in New York. She has a 2yo son, but has secondary infertility and needs IVF... they go through a cycle and she gets pregnant -but it's ectopic and she needs surgery to remove her tube. So sad...

(btw - Margi - 11 weeks already! Wow! You go girl! How are the babies doing?)

[blairwh58]

Leora- Funny but I just saw Pregnant in Heels and started watching a few weeks back. Then when I saw she was doing IVF treatments it made me want to watch even more. I dont know how she does something like that catering to pregnant moms when she is trying though.

fun- Its good to hear that triplet pregnancies can last up to 36 weeks and have healthy babies. I am hoping for the best and just doing my best to deal with the m/s and help these babies grow the way they should.

Thanks for all the congrats. I guess I really am still in shock that we really may be having 3 babies. I think DH almost passed out when the doctor found the 3rd little heartbeat. The MD did explain why I am so swollen and already look pregnant though- I have a huge leftover corpus luteum cyst from the retrieval that is causing lots of discomfort. He said it should resolve on its own in the next few weeks. I go back for another ultrasound on May 18 which will make me 9 wks.

Blair --- WOW!!! Congrats on the triplets!!!! Take care of yourself.

Blair: Holy poop and congrats!
