I am so happy I cannot stop tearing up!

hi there,
boy, have I wanted to post in this section for 2 years, 10 months!! And now I am!!

Yes, I found out today I am pregnant with no. 2. I have been TTC for nearly 3 years, and been on IVF for about 15 months.

The hardest part is keeping this from my 5 year old for 4 months - I want to make sure.

the other hard part is everyone who knows me and knows just how long it has taken is already starting to wrap me up in cotton wool, which is sweet, but it may drive me crazy after a while !! I am allowed to still run, cycle and swim (HR under 150bpm) and I KNOW this is ok, as I did this in my first pregnancy and it helped heaps with symptoms and just general well being.

Having said that, this time is different, seems even more precious. I will rest more often than I did last time, and I am of course, 5 years older with a preschooler to take care of.

One thing at a time!! All I really want is for this pregnancy to be healthy and with a successful.

thank you for listening everyone.

Congratulations Runnermum!!!!!!! That's awesome!!

well, I am about to ask a silly question but I don't know how many weeks I am pregnant.

this was a pregnancy off a STim Cycle, but surely I don't count from the day I got my last period - because that was ages ago and then it was the pill, Syneral and then injections......then egg pick up, then 3 day embryo transfer and now BINGO pregnant!

so my embryo transfer was 2 weeks ago today exactly - 10th of may, but I realise it was a 3 day embryo at this stage.

Nurses told me I was due 29th of January.......

I have been saying about 3 weeks preggo, but in the medical world, what would they say?

In the medical world they'd say you're about 4.5 wks preggers I'd reckon because the day of a successful test is considered 4wks or thereabouts. Bizarre, but true.

Congrats, by the way :)

Hi Runnermum, Yes I agree with Slyder. I'd say that you are 4.5 weeks pregnant. The 40 weeks normally starts from the first day of your last period and in a typical cycle you normally ovulate on about day 14 there-abouts. So if your embies are currently 17 days old (pretty much the same as 17 days past ovulation & conception) then you would add 14 days onto that equalling 31 days (or 4.5 weeks) pg.

How exciting . . . Congratulations :dance:

Thanks guys for the replies. How silly how the medical world works it out, I mean my egg and hubby's sperm did not get together until egg collection day, which was certainly not 4.5 weeks ago!!

to me, I suppose this is why I prefer to think that the first 4 months are most delicate rather than the first 3 months.

thanks again for the info!

Congratulations - i hope u have a wonderful pregnancy
