Gay & Lesbian Pregnancy General Chatter #1

[Cheryl]

Hello all,
Wanted to just tell everyone I am cheering for you. My partner and I tried for almost 3 years, one of those years non stop! We did have success with our first round of Follistim but lost that one at 8 weeks. Then 4 more cycles with Follistime and no luck. They believe the mild endometriosis was not allowing the egg to get to the tube. So we bypassed that and went for IVF and actually had success. Then 8 weeks into this pregnancy after seeing the heartbeat I developed a subchoroinic Hematoma (massive bleed) and we thought we lost again. I now can proudly say I am 15 weeks pregnant and there does not appear to be any further complicaiton. It is a long road and I had so much support from other women that I wanted to return the support. I hope everyone is able to realize thier baby dream, and I will add IN PEACE:-) I do understand the tough road. Good luck to all.

Hi all... Well I am on the TWW as well... IUI on the 11th, and O on the 12th (well, thats what FF reckons) ... so CD29 and 10 DPO today, and have an appointment on Friday with the FS, and probably a blood test on Monday if I haven't got AF, which I'm 100% certain that I will, because I have the worst PMS ever at the moment, I feel as though AF could come today...

DrGirl72... when is your TWW up?

D&M... Day care is scary for me too! While our bub is under 3, I'll only use it if absolutely necessary. Of course, theres not an issue for me going back to work, so its not a huge drama, but I am hoping to go back to uni at 6 or 12 months depending on how it all goes lol! Luckily Shel's mum has a great track record of looking after the kids whenever its needed, so bubs will be having nanna bonding time instead of day care

Cheryl... Congratulations on getting to 15 weeks! I hope the rest of your pregnancy is just as good! Wow, a whole year non-stop... I couldnt do that!
