Pregnancy after Long Term TTC - June 2008

[Janie71]

Hi All,

Finally the time is ticking down to the all elusive 12 week mark! I hope this week doesn't drag... We have our NT scan booked for Monday next week. I can't wait to see how much our little one has changed since our last scan at 8 weeks. And then we will finally be able to let our little secret out of the bag. I can't wait to be able to tell everyone.

Overall I am feeling so much better. I haven't vomitted since week 9, but I still am getting nauseous, but that is so much easier to deal with. Still feeling tired all the time, hungry all the time and am waking up a couple of times a night to pee.

I finished all my supporting medication a week ago and think that has helped towards me feeling a little better. It certainly has mentally given me my sanity back... I was so sick of taking it.

Sorry it is a bit of a selfish post today... got to get back to work, but will catch up with personals in the next couple of days.

Hope you are all well.

Janie - best of luck for your 12 week scan. I hope it's here before you know it. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better too.

TL - good luck for your scan tomorrow afternoon. It'll be great to see bub again I'm sure.

Got my 20 week scan tomorrow morning. Quite nervous, just want this evening to be over and tomorrow morning to get here.

to all, I hope everyone is well.

Baby miracles, I am so sorry to read your news. Thinking of you.

Janie, hope the next week flies by for you and all goes well at your scan.

TL, good luck for your scan tomorrow too and for the new job as well! Big day!!

Devon, I'm sure everything willk be fine. Sending lots of positive thoughts your way for your big scan tomorrow.

AFM: Not much happening. My first appt with my GP and midwives is next Wednesday. This appointment has taken forever to get here! Suffering with nausea most of the day and night, severe hunger and have been a bit light headed. This first trimester is one of the hardest things I have ever gone through. I just hope we can come out the other end of it with good news that everything's ok...but that's still another month away.

Good luck with the scans today Devon & Linda Cant wait to hear how those babies are going!

Glad to hear things are going well Megan & Janie, i agree the first trimester is definately hard! They should bring in first trimester maternity leave.. that would be heaven!

AFM: I have my grumpy sulky pants on, got the results of Fridays tests and *ding* *ding* *ding* a big FAT positive for gestational diabetes. Went and bought all the crappy needles and monitors yesterday and started testing this morning, very unsuccessfully had to do the thing 3 times before i got it right. See the ob on Monday to decide if i need insulin injections as well but at this point she thinks yes. So i know its stupid after going through repeated IVf cycles but im still annoyed and hate being back in the world of injections again. And this time i can't eat chocolate to make myself feel better

Will try to have my happy pants on next time.....
