Hi Coral,
That is exciting news. I think its incredible that you got a bfp! I will keep everything crossed for you and your family. I know how it feels to be worried and praying for your little one's safe journey, I'm 10.5 weeks and counting down every day. For those of us that have had to face a lot just to get that family we longed for the attachment to your new bundle is immense even if it is early on. The best we can do is put faith in our bodies and together hope for the best. I am sending you sticky vibes and cant wait to hear how you are going in the future. xxx

coral : :welcome:
congrats on your BFP. sending you lots of sticky vibes. keep growing baby. as for the bleeding lots of us have had it. i had a bit at 16 weeks and that was so so scary. hoping for a great healthy preg for you.
:bfp:
yipee

congrats to the new girls!!!
Oneday86 - I am waiting to hear when this little bub will be born! I am stalking you!
hope everyone is travelling nicely :)
AFM: have my placenta check scan next week and to see bubs growth, can't wait to see him/her again! I have been getting terrible groin pain, like muscle pulling with every step and movement, its like I have done inner thigh squats all day! my outer lady bits are feeling like a stretched sort of pain too, must be pressure? 6 weeks to go!

Hi ladies :0)
Coral, CONGRATS!!!!!! i also had spotting at the start of this pg so dont worry! and i was also concerned about my progesterone, i was on 4 pessaries a day and my levels started as low as 43 (which is still ok anything from 30 and above i think is good?) and then it went up but was only ever around 60 or 70 so dont panic iv always been told 30 and above is good. X
Me, him and bub yeah not long now!!!! so excited only 3 more days of work, cant wait to finish and then i will be enjoying my limited time to relax before bub comes :)
-
Coral - congratulations! Try not to worry about the progesterone - those numbers seem like a pretty small variation, I'm sure some fluctuation is normal, and like oneday said, above 30 is considered to be pretty good :)
Starflyy - congratulations to you too!
Oneday - yay for no more work :) Hope you enjoy your time off (as if you won't!)
mhb - ouch - you must be getting close. Enjoy your scan next week
Hi JBM, teirae, yogi and loops
afm - i have my gtt test on Friday. First bt in months - it's a bit of a novelty lol. Trying to eat extra well this week incase it makes a difference to the test - which is just making me want to eat every unhealthy thing I see :) oh well. Two more days then time for chocolate!
-
Starflyy – Thank u :hug:. It is so true… I thought I would be better 2nd time round, but alas, I think I am worse :doh:! Congratulations on being 10.5 weeks – yay!!! Lots and lots of sticky vibes for you also… make sure you keep us updated :).
JBM – OMG… it would have been scary at 16 weeks :hug:! Thank you for the well wishes…. I need all the good luck sticky vibes I can get, he, he!
Me+him+bub – Thx. Wow… not long to go for you – yay!!! It does get a bit hard at the end, doesn’t it? I was so ready to pop wit DS and can you believe it, I actually went into labour on my due date (gave birth the next day though)!
Oneday86 – Thank you for sharing… it is always comforting to read of others in similar situations that have been ok. Looks like I will be following your lead and hanging around the 60 or 70 mark. Did you do crinone or pessaries and did you do 2 at night and 2 in the morning? Oh, I am so jealous that you are finishing up work soon… that is so wonderful! Have you fully set up for bubs at home yet?
Kass – Thank you as well :hug:…. reassurance is always good. Good Luck :goodluck: with the gtt. I hated the liquid drink… I don’t actually think it tasted too bad it was the fact that I was forced to drink it seemed to put me off, he, he!
AFM – Having a few cramps here and there… nothing too full on though (thank goodness!). I have also just gotten over the flu which has been worrying me as I have been feeling pretty rotten and just praying that bubs hasn’t been affected by it. Have another BT scheduled in for tomorrow so am a little nervous….. will post the results when I get a chance. Just really hoping that everything will be doing what it should be :crossfingers:!
Hi to everyone else and I hope you are doing well!
-
coral: yes very scary at 16 weeks. had it for a week, only spotting but it was very scary. all is well. it's good to know that it isn't all bad news bleeding that is though. hoping all goes well for your BT. good luck to you.
Kass: good luck for gtt. i dunno when mine is. must be soon ?
preg brain ?. i have been having more sweets, typical. my 6kg gain may be 12 by next week ?!. hope all goes well.
oneday: hope you have some time off before baby comes. have fun and relax. not long to go now.
mehimnbub: hope all goes well with your scan. good luck. not long to go now.
hi to all i forgot
AFM: lots of kicking still. looking fatter. feeling fatter too. starting to think of baby stuff i need to get . bit scary how much i need.
my tummy is shaped like an egg and i look very preg, comments from mums at school this week after 2 weeks away hols then i had extra week. so a lot had happened in 3 weeks. all good comments though so not feeling so huge now. :-)
hi to all
chat soon

Hi coral, i started off on crinone but my specialist wanted me to stay on progesterone until i was 13 weeks pg due to my levels being low in other cycles previously and crinone was VERY expensive!! So was the pessaries, it was costing me about $200 a week! i was on 4 a day 2 in the morning and 2 at night so i stayed on the 4 till about 10 weeks pg and then each week i dropped down a pessarie to wean my body off them. The placenta produces enough on its own by week 10 i think. Good luck with your BT. Bubs room is all ready to go, everything is washed, bags packed, car seat has been fitted in the car we just need bub now :)

hey everyone!!
good to hear everyone is going well =)
I had really bad cramps last night, didn't sleep well at all, no bleeding though, so put it down to my uterus growing and stretching which is good right?? today i am finally happy to admit my books are bigger!!! (and were also sore last night) also feeling down/sad...DH is stiring me up on purpose cause he thinks its funny...so getting cranky but not my fault!!
I also did my first stupid pregnancy thing today =P and had a really good laugh atmyself, which did make me feel better =)
love and belly rubs to everyone!!! its hard keeping up with everyone at different stages (sorry) but am thinking of you all!!
-
Teirae - glad you're going well and getting some good symptoms :) I'm still waiting for my boobs to get a little bigger - starting to doubt it's going to happen though! lol
Oneday - Waiting, waiting! Glad you're organised :)
JBM - Yours must be coming up :) Yeah, I've been eating waaay too much junky food. Not good!
Coral - good luck today!
-
kass: love your message about your boobs getting bigger ( or not getting bigger). i measured myself and mine have increased by 3 cm . which means they're huge !! but they weren't small to begin with. lol. i need to get some bigger preg/ maternity bras soon. hope all went well with your gt test :)
teirae: i had heaps of pains in my tummy especially on the left side for some reason it was very scary but maybe it was just my overies recovering from the fresh cycle ? hope all goes well for you, sending you sticky vibes. x o as for those preg hormones ?! well what can i say. i am so much more emotional and more likely to cry at lame TV shows. lol. i love it. ha ha ha. best of luck to you.
oneday: wow you're almost counting down the days. lots of luck to you. x o
AFM: nothing new to report. baby is jumping right now saying hi to you all
one of the girls in my belly belly buddy group ( we are all due around the same time) just had her baby the other day. 25 weeks. he is doing well but how scary to think of that. if we could all remember to pray for him to be strong and all be well.
thanks
:-)

Hi guys, JBM has invited me to join you guys (Thanks JBM).
My short story is we have been TTC No2 for 2years. 6mths after we started trying we found DH had a blockage/scar tissue so swimmers are no longer able to get out. IVF/ICSI was the way forward. We did 2 stim cycles and got 7 transfers 1MC, 2 chem and now finally a BFP. Im 8wks on Thursday. Had a little bleeding after my last scan which was a bit worrying but it was a very small amount and only lasted 24hrs. I will be on tender hooks until my 12wk scan I think.
I have one DD who turned 3 last week!
Looking forward to getting to know you all!
-
Welcome and congratulations jackylicky! Hope the next few weeks pass quickly for you with no more scares!
JBM - thanks :) test was fine - I didn't hear anything back from them, so I'm assuming I've passed :crossfingers:
Teirae - I had similar pains to jbm (left side as well) which showed up on my scans as inflamed follies. Apparently a pretty common ivf side effect. But on the plus side they supposedly put out extra hormones to support the pregnancy (well, this is what the sonographer said anyway :) )
We've finally emptied out the spare room - yay! - by moving everything into the main area of the house, first thing you see walking in the front door - not so yay - but hopefully we can work through everything fairly quickly and not resort to shoving everything into cupboards or under the bed :)
-
KASS: glad all was o.k. i have BC app on tue and have to do BT so i hope all is o.k there too for me. yipee for empty spare room. baby room now. :-) good luck with the sorting thru everything. we are getting closer to 30 weeks then the count doen is on. i am getting so excited. best of luck with sorting etc. x
jacklicky: so glad to see you in here. these guys are a great support and it's good to see it working ( IVF that is). i had IVF/ ICSI too as DH had a vas so his swimmers were trapped too. nice BIG needle for him ( he he he) lol. counting down til 12 week scan. best of luck to you and a BIG welcome to our thread. :-)
AFM: at work today :(. but i am going to see my sis next week. i am going mon and tue and i may go up on sunday ...... she is due on 27 OCT and i havn't seen her since she was 21 weeks.
i am so excited as we are very close and both preggers.
getting sore back so i am doing aqua this week too. got BC app tomorrow and BT too.
chat soon to all

JBM – How exciting that you are starting to show! I couldn’t wait with DS to grow a pregnant belly. The baby list is endless isn’t it? I was a total sucker and bought everything (and I mean everything!).
Oh, seeing you sister will be great. I was pregnant with my sister when I had DS… it was so great to be able to share that with each other :). Bring on next week for you!
OMG – 25 weeks! That is really full on and I’m glad to hear that bubs is doing well despite the extremely early birth. I have said a little :pray: for him….
Oneday86 – Thx for the info :hugs:….. it helps to hear of similar situations and that all has turned out ok. It is definitely good to be organsied as it takes the pressure off and you just never know… bubs could decide to make an early entrance into the world (of course you don’t want too early!).
Teirae – I always get worried about the cramping although I am sure I had it with DS but just can’t remember. I think our DH’s underestimate our pregnancy hormones and how we can be over sensitive to things…. I had a similar experience which I have detailed in AFM.
jacklicky - Hello :hello: and congratulations! I also had some bleeding although it was the day of my BT (day AF was due) and thought I was out! Was so shocked to get the phone call that it was a BFP. It is scary though…. I am forever checking the loo paper when I go :doh:! I feel the same way and can’t wait to get past the 12 week mark. Sending you lots and lots of :stickyvibesgirl:.
Kass – Thank you for the Good Luck wishes :hugs:. Woo hoo :dance: for clearing out bubs room! Now you get to do the fun part of putting it all together! I loved doing it for DS although DH didn’t quite feel the same way as his job was to assemble all the furniture and there was lots, he, he!
AFM – I am really happy to report that we received some good news about my BT… my progesterone had increased from 64.9 (was even lower than I though it was) to 89.7 – yay :dance! It was such a relief and DH and I were really happy – yay!
Wish the good news kept coming though. I need some advice and reassurance ladies... I am embarrased :redface: to admit that DH and I were bickering on Saturday night which is really quite unusual for us… he was a little drunk and in a foul mood as Collingwood had lost – arrgghhh! I just got over it and got really angry with him and so yelled at him to get over it as he was driving me insane! When I yelled at him I suddenly felt a sharp pain shoot down my tummy and now I am so petrified that I may have harmed Little Bean in some way. DH feels terrible about it also and instantly let it go… Has been pampering me ever since which is nice. Do you think Little Bean will be ok? I only yelled for a second but was really cranky at the time….. I have my scan this Friday and am really scared now :(.
-
coral: if yelling did affect baby then i would have NO kids. i am sure baby will be fine. sometimes we ( us LTTC ers) analyse every little twinge and think the worst. i know cause i did it and most of us did it at some stage.
Preg hormones are horrible and DH i am sure will remember what it was like for you before. try not to worry. it's easy to say but hard to do.
maybe some pampering from him may help you though. lots and lots of pampering that is. hint hint. lol
best of luck
-
Just letting you know to save a place for me. I fully plan to be joining you in two weeks ;) :p
I am PUPO with two "absolutely beautiful" embies transferred this afternoon.
Thought I should warn you that I am on my way :lol:
xxx
-
JBM - Thax hun :hug:. You have made me feel heaps better.... you are so right, us LTTTC as so paranoid about every little twinge and cramp :doh:! DH still feels bad bout it all and cooked dinner as well as feed, bathed, bottled and put DS to bed last night so I could chill out and watch TV. Was so nice to be able to just switch off :). All is forgiven and we are just keeping everything crossed :crossfingers: for the scan on Friday.
Feeling a little more nauseous this time round and way more tired which I think is cause I have DS to look after and play with :).
One more sleep down till you get to see your sister - yay!
N2L - I like the confidence and there is definitely a spot waiting for you in here... you deserve it so much :hugs:! So excited for you to have had 2 x really great embies transferred.... I always think it is a really good sign when everyone is excited about the quality. On both of my BFP's everyone was commenting on how good my embies were so hopefully this is the sign that we will be seeing you real soon :pray:. Good Luck :goodluck: hun and I will be stalking you to see how you go :).
