Hi there,
I'm a guy and its taken me a long time to work out all your short handed letters and meanings but here goes, Me and my wife had been trying for 2 years to have children and unable, we went to the doctors and they said just keep trying and see how you go, we had already had 2 miscarriages over the 2 years, we thought it was time to try and find out what was wrong with us, so we went to melbourne ivf in January and we both got tested, found out that i was 99% abnormal swimmers and i was devastated! I am 30 and my wife is 28, if we didnt go and pressure the docs for a referral we could of wasted another year. Anyway we started getting everything together in January and we were advised by melbourne ivf to do icsi, we have just finished our first cycle and just finished (today) the 2 week wait, wow it felt like a month!! anyway just got the results and my wife and I are PREGNANT!!!! Dont hold off, its better to know something is wrong then put more stress on the relationship because of frustration and constantly thinking when is it going to be my turn. I know im a guy but you ladies are very tough (especially after watching what my wife has been thru, the emotional roller coaster and the constant questions and medication.
I wish everyone the best of luck and wanted to say thanks because good or bad experience in ivf the last couple of months has been a lot easier with every ones posts on here for the 100's of questions i have wanted answer to!!
Congratulations! I'm glad you trusted your instincts and pushed for the referrals. It's amazing that the Drs are so lax with referring younger couples and then as soon as you turn 30 they say you should have done something earlier...
Congratulations to you and your wife, enjoy the miracle you have been blessed with. Well worth you pushing to find out what was stopping it happening naturally.
Hey all,
So today was the 6 week scan, so lets just say I was that nervous and excited about today that I hardly slept last night. Today was amazing, I saw our child as a 4 cell embryo and today I saw its heart beat, waa such a humbling experience and the best thing I have ever seen. We r so excited and enjoying all the wierd symptoms and excited about the future. Just wanted to say a massive thankyou for all your kind words. Hopefully I can update u all with more great news in the future.
Thanks heaps!
What a lovely couple of posts from you! Congratulations on your pregnancy and on a wonderful scan experience. It's amazing seeing them as a little bundle of cells and then in such a small space of time they already have a perfect little heart beating away. I have two natural babies, and my middle babe is our ICSI/PGD princess. One day I will explain to her what the picture is that looks like a bundle of little bubbles
Hi there again,
On monday we had our 9 week scan with Dr Neil Israelsohn at the epworth freemasons, So at the 6 week scan i got to see the heart beating which absolutely blew me away, but it got better, on monday we got to see our little bundle move, it was moving its little arms like it was waving at us. Bought a tear to our eyes, it had a measurement of 2.6cms which the doc said was perfect. After 2 previous early miscarriages this is further along as we have ever been, things have been very different this time though. My wife has had what they call morning sickness, which i have renamed all day sickness and the amount of time she is sleeping is unbelievable. Go to work, come home, eat, sleep. Which the doc says is great. She is still on the pessaries just as a precaution for another week or 2. I'm counting down the days until she is 12 weeks so we can share our secret with our family. The last 2 nights i have averaged 3 hours sleep, i find myself day dreaming about all the different ways we could tell family and friends. haha.. so stupid! I cant wait to tell my dad. I see my dad most days as we both work in the city, and im busting to tell him hes going to be a poppy! haha! So thats about all the news for the moment, im hoping that in 2 weeks 5 days i can share a picture of a healthy 12 week scan on here. Until then best of luck to everyone and just dont give up, our little miracle is happening right now, yours might just be around the corner!
Hopeful Daddy it is such a joy to read your posts!!! Wonderful news and Congratulations to you and your wife, what a blessed baby you have coming into this world!!
