I am hoping to join this thread. Had my bdp bt on 25feb15, now 14dp5dt. This is my 7th cycle of ivf, after conceiving my ds from a fet (2nd round) in nov 2012.
Still doing poas to keep me positive through the next 8weeks until 12weeks. Have my 7 week scan booked for 18 Mar. Bubs sue date - 03 Nov 15 ( but I think I will have to have a csect as I did with ds).
Hello hopeful mum and congrats! Would you be about 4-5 weeks? Are you having any further blood tests? I bet you're on the count down til 18th March! I know I was.
I had my scan on Friday at 6w4d and we saw the heartbeat flickering away. I've been very tired and a bit nauseous, sore boobs too.
Hi spoons. Yes I'm 5weeks on Tuesday coming. I have bt's for 4th and 11th Mar. Going to be doing poas the day before just to keep me sane.
Wonderful to see that your scan went well and that you got to see bubs' heartbeat:-) It's a beautiful thing to see. Fx that the rest of your pregnancy goes well.
Pholi, good luck for your wed week scan. Fx that it all goes well and that you see your little ones' heartbeat too :-)
Spoons, Pholi and Hopeful Mum, yay!!!!! So glad to see you guys in here. I have been following the other thread the entire time. Congratulations and wishing you all the very best for uneventful healthy pregnancies. It can seem such a long haul at this point, with all the anxiety/symptoms or lack of and it is just really really tough. One breath at a time, I sometimes got down to. Like it was one day, then one minute, then just this one moment. Just hope this time just zips by for you all, and/or you enjoy every minute.
Mildez, I have been following all your posts too, here and in the other thread. How's your little boy going? It sounds like you have a really wonderful connection. I am so glad for you.
AFM, I am 37 weeks on Friday and I will get the cervical stitch out next week. We will wait for labour to start, and then if it hasn't started, I can wait til 41 weeks and either be induced or just opt for C-section. My OB is very kind and supportive and has said I can opt for C-section at any time really (I mean, after 38 weeks or so). I have had anxiety and ante-natal depression symptoms coming and going, including CP (chronic pain) and it has been so bad at points that I have asked my psych about starting medication (though TBH I never found an AD (or a pain killer) that really worked for me, especially since I have a family background of bipolar so for my brain, I need a mood stabilizer as well and these are not great for preg/BF). There have been a lot of stressors including my best friend being hospitalized for a kind of psychotic/manic break (and she has MS and is newly pregnant which is a really big deal bc she had to go off her drugs to become pregnant and this is dangerous for MS). Anyway, a lot of fear issues are being raised (I was in the mother-baby unit with my daughter). Sorry, this has turned into a large purge. I am seeing a lovely psychologist for mindfulness/CBT therapy and my peri-natal psych and my lovely OB. So I am well looked after. But those tough days are hard! Very hard. I sometimes withdraw and cannot post or I can't sit and type because too sore.
Wishing everyone some peace and calm during this time, and more excitement down the track at delivery.
How wonderful to hear from you, worrywart. You've had such a rough time and you're now on the home stretch. I wish you all the best for the next few weeks xx
Pholi how did your scan go??? I so hope that it went well.
I'm currently going through a scare. My hcg level has decreased since my last test. Having another one tomorrow. I don't know what my dr is going to suggest if it continues to decrease. I want to ask for a scan / ultra sound, but will wait for results.
I know that there is nothing that I can do. What will be will be, but I'm feeling heartbroken already that my bub is dying :'(
I'm sorry you're going through this, hopeful mum. After everything you've been through to fall pregnant and now this I really hope things improve for you. How far along are you now?
