Thanks Nic..I thought when I saw Bee..what a coincidence is that? Someone else due on the same day with twins and the same sex!! My pg mind didn't think it could have been me!!! Not too bad here in hospital. I feel really reassured and safe here and have someone 24 hours to annoy and ask questions!!! And I get to hear these two 3 times a day!!
Hugs xxx
Just a quick post from me as I am not really up to much at the moment. Just got home from the hospital. Our beautiful and much longed for little baby boy, Ryan Patrick, was stillborn at 7:50pm last night aged 18wks 1 day.
We have had a very tough last week and both DH and I are hiding from the world at the moment. I will try to get up the strength a final post in the next week or so.
Oh Chez my darlin'. I'm so so sorry to hear of your loss. I hope that you and DH can take strength from each other to get you through this terrible time. Please know we are here if you need anything.
Hi . Hope it is alright for me to drop in here? One or two of you may know me from the TTC after MC or IVF with PGD threads.
Firstly, I would like to congratulate you all on your pregnancies
Secondly, I would be really grateful if I could run something by you all?
I am currently PG after an (IVF with PGD) cycle. Last Friday at 10 weeks I had a BT done. Great HCG (over 107,000) and my progesterone is still surprisingly over 300 (I have not been taking pessaries, but it got rather high from the Pregnyl during the 2WW). However my estrogen is still way over 5,000. I realise in a naturally conceived PG that estrogen steadily rises (though it never goes that high). But I had thought mine might have come down a little. Just wondering if anyone else has had their estrogen checked during their ART PG?
I guess my concern is that very high estrogen levels have been linked with breast cancer (apparently the increase in estrogen levels caused by alcohol is why alcohol has recently been linked to breast cancer).
I will talk to my OB about this, but would really appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.
Diamond - wow we are a month apart! My first scan does feel like an eternity away. Im really looking forward to see my bubs heartbeat so I can relax a little. Glad all went well at your appointment.
Murph - yes we are the new kids on the block here! I dont know much about anything as yet and am slowly learning things along the way. Hope your going well
Janie - thanks for the advice. Im so new to all this and am worried because I dont have any symptoms but Im sure they'll be forthcoming! Not long to go for you now, how EXCITING! Hope bubs comes soon for you
just a quick one from me to let you know that i am still checking in on you all, not long to go now TL, only 6days!!!!
just wondering if anyone knows how 21andttc is going?? i cant remember but i thought she was going for a scan sometime soon and just wanted to check in to see how it went???
hopefully it wont be long and i will be back in here with you all soon
Hey, just popping in to cheer some of you up....errrr...I'm sick! Yep, it has got me. M/S has touched down. DH came home today and found me sprawled out on the back verandah. No chucky, just yucky! All day just a really strange day of being absolutely so hungry I could eat my cattle dog, then so sick I couldn;t think of it, faint dizzy and wanting to go at both end but worse cos I got no movement! Oh great.
Tomorrow I do my uni drive, 2 hours down the coast, then after uni in the arvo drive with DH and my dogs down south for another 4 hours. Next day on a yacht for an ashes spreading ceremony and then wake. I think I'll give new meaning to "all hands on deck"...more like all fours on deck!
Anyway, thought you might get a laugh KellyD, hope your symptoms are leaving you alone.
Ahh Murph, you make me laugh... You spoke too soon and now you really know that you are pg. Gotta love the constant nausea, it makes life sooo wonderful. Hate to have to tell you but yep all m/s symptoms have gone away. It's been almost a week now with no yucky feeling.
All I can recommend is that you try and keep your food levels up. I was having 6 - 7 small meals a day, I didn't have any appetite for anything so it was really hard trying to find things to want to eat but if I didn't eat I felt worse. Oh, also beware of smells.. I couldn't handle any type of food smells (so no dinner cooking for DH) and even now certain things still turn my stomach. Hope your m/s is short lived like me and that before you know it you'll be cruising along nicely.
AFM: OB appt today, I'm a bit nervous to make sure our bubble is doing well as seeing I have no m/s anymore and my BB's have stopped hurting it is almost like I've imagined the whole thing. I think I might also be a little bit scared as some of our fellow LTTC's lost there angels around this time (Possums, Dusty), anyway fingers crossed all is going well and I'm just overreating... I am also a bit scared as today is the last of my progesterone pessaries (2 a day) and from tomorrow we go "cold turkey", so I'm hoping everything is ok on that side of things as well.
