my clinic did two bts - the first to see if i was UTD or not 9 days post transfer (5day old embies) and another a few days after that to check the levels were rising.
then we had to wait for a scan at 7 weeks - itwas actually nearly 8 weeks cos of the appointment times. it was a horrid, slow, tortuous time - sorry to be so blunt. It's just as bad or worse as the two week wait.
hey but the whole pregnancy game is a waiting game and can be stressful with milestones always weeks away - nt scan, sexiing/growth scan, 3rd tri, 34week scan, birth and all the worreis that come with that.
suppose what i'm saying is enjoy it while you can love. the time has really felt like it's gone quite quickly, most of the time. I really believe at the end of the day you've got to live in the moment and enjoy what you have now.
i know you can't help but stress but i hope that helps you abit. did you have one or two transfered?
BOC - ROFL - am loving the dorrito massacre of 2009 lol. wouldn't worry too much about it love ... i think you can absorb a few more naughties that usual while preg. my crime is sausage rolls. i just love those hot little rolls - particuulary the spinach and feta ones.... hmmmmmmmmm fffooooooodddddd big congrats for making ot the the magic 12... do you feel a sense of relief??? for me that didn't come until about 14 weeks, i think it took 2 weeks for the worry and concern to leave my body lol.
enjoy your footy today miss tania - i'm not an afl follower and can't remember - did your team make the finals? (which i know are today so i'm not a total numbskull). and enjoy those last few days at work.
hi to all our lurkers and lovely ladies
afm - feel a bit better this morn. i'll feel better abut dh's work thing after monday once it's sorted and I can execute a plan of action... i'm better when i can cover my bases. i was just completely mentally prepared to do 7 weeks alone before bubs arrival!
off to look at garage sales this morn with my honey.
Oh just wanted to share something fun we've been doing - we've been practising singing our nursery rhymes to bluey - he responds accordingly and it's heaps of fun! even a bit silly!! lol (ps I really suck at remembering the words but dh remembers them all!).
Just thought I'd pop in and let you all know that Noah is going great guns. Never needed any oxygen since birth. Is on CPAP and currently off it 4 hours twice a day. Been concentrating on getting him to full feeds which will happen on his next feed. Its 10 mls every two hours and then he has to tolerate that for 24 hours and then his central line can come out!
He was born at 750 grams then went down to 640 grams which is completely normal for a weight loss. They hope for a weight gain of 30 grams every two days which he has done so he is now 730 grams. Tomorrow fully expect him to be at his birth weight and that usually takes about 3 weeks and he's done it in almost 2!! Not bad seen as how he only started on breast milk on day 3 and only half a ml every 4 hours. When he tolerated that they increased it to 1 ml every 4 hours then to 1 ml every 2 hours, then 2 mls every 2 hours and so on and so forth. His next feed will be 10 mls!!
Everything is just wonderful at NICU and he is the smallest baby there but the least trouble. He never skips a beat! Guess i should find a new home for my updates now. I just wanted to come and thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes, seems to have worked! Kim and I are just so in love with him its not even funny.
TWOMUMS... i am totally thrilled to bits for you pair your little man sounds like such a little fighter and boy does he sound small and ever so cute.you pair keep doing what your doing seems to be going great guns all the best and im thinking of the 3 of you.grow big and strong noah
Hi all, have been lurking but unable to post as feeling to sick. Glad to see everyone is doing well. We have our big scan on Tuesday so will finally know if it is a he or a she as I keep flip flopping between the two. Have a great weekend and enjoy the footy.
oh 2mums thanks so much for dropping in! i'm so glad noah is thriving. I was just telling dh about 20 mins ago that it was exciting knowing that you will fall in love by the end of the year! lol.
Thank you all for your kind welcomes and thoughts. I also wanted to send out another to everyone - I'll start keeping track of everyone as I go and will try a few persies soon!
So today is 4wd1d. You'd think that wouldn't be so different from 4wk0d, but perhaps not. I went and saw the Naturopath this morning in order to get some nutrition advice for early pregnancy. I came home loaded with supplements and morning sickness remedies (lots of protein in my meals!), but have also felt really low since then.
Perhaps I'm just stressing myself out more, but I have been quite flat and teary all afternoon. Is this just hormones? Or anxiety from LTTTC? Or maybe the full enormity is hitting me - I'm a control freak in general, and I have no control over my pregnancy (apart from the obvious controls about what I put in my mouth etc). Why, after all these years of TTC, do I feel so awful?
So...I've been seeing a counsellor recently for help to get me through the TTC...but ironically, now that I'm pregnant, I feel like I need the counsellor more now than I did then!
Sorry, this was a downer of a post. On the plus side, DH and I went and saw 'Up' at the movies (better than watching the footy!) - good movie. Now I'm going to go and snuggle on the couch with DH.
Thanks again for the welcome and all your kind thoughts. I'm looking forward to enjoying my pregnancy - soon!
Just a quick drop in... Big Yay to my Cats for winning the Premiership today. Although can I say that being 36 weeks pregnant and living through such a close game is not ideal but I am so happy that they won this year. Now I'm just waiting for my little "Cats Supporter" to arrive.
Seph, I know exactly what you mean. After all those failed AC cycles I never felt a need to talk to anyone, but the anxiety I've felt over the last few days has had me seriously considering it. I saw Up the other week too and loved it. It was just before my bfp and I had tears streaming down my face (seriously, it was a torrent!!) at a number of points in the movie... That was my first "sign" that had one of my friends urging me to poas!!
did you have one or two transfered?
