Hi Girls,
Well most of you already know but for those who dont I had a really good results today, although it is only the first step and we have a way to go. They managed to get 22 eggs :D I dont find out until Friday how many fertilise but the nurse said its a great result. She said they consider a good pick up to be approx. 10 eggs so...
Anyway, must be off. Really sore and uncomfortable and should be resting not sitting here at the computer. Apologies for the lack of personals, I will pop in tomorrow and check out what you were all up to today.
Take care,
Mel :)

Congrats that is is fantastic news Mel. Hoping this is the one for you.

Excellent news Mel :dance: Rest up....................another big day on Friday :hug:

Hi all - just popped in to say hi and send the biggest hug to you Mel.
It's wonderful news about the eggs and I will keep everything crossed for you for tomorrow. I've lost your email address (if you thought I disappeared). It's incredible but my brother (who is living in Christchurch at the moment) and his partner had their first eggs taken yesterday as well. They got 8 -and they are also waiting for results tomorrow. Imagine two people who deserve this SO much going in on exactly the same day...I think it's a lucky sign!!!!!!!
Wonderful to see all the tickers flying along and to see the picture of your beautiful little man Spring.
No news from me except we managed to get through our two due dates this year - without the darling of our dreams - and almost all the people we know having babies at the sametime have safely welcomed their beautiful little ones (except one who is in labour tonight).
I wish I had something exciting to add too...maybe next month.

Hi again
Shereejoy I just read your post from a couple of days ago...I'm so sorry to hear what you've been through.
Like you we were told our last angel (April 25 this year) was a twin. They were not identical we had two sacs (only one with a heart beat) but the other sac continued showing up on the scans until we lost our darling son at 18 weeks.
Just like you I have had bleeding both in miscarriage and two pregnancies that gave us earth angels - with our son I passed 5 -7 clots in hospital when he was 18w. They told us it was just a matter of time before we lost him and now he's a healthy 10 year old boy. (sorry if that's too much info)
Like you I'm so confused with the bleeding thing - I have bled with every pregnancy - in varying amounts and colour and still haven't been able to find any explanation. In fact, I've bled a lot less with the angels we did lose. Resulting in me thinking that everything was OK
Because of this when AF arrives each month I still think there may be a chance of being pregnant - I know it sounds crazy - I really need to have shares in the pregnancy test companies.
I'm sorry I don't have answers...but I'll let you know if I find anything

Hi Georgie,
Thank you for your reply and nice to meet you. Everything you said I was nodding my head, how similar our situations have been, especially that we bled least with our little angels then we did with our surviving children. I just can't believe the clot that came from me, I was just talking to about it to a friend a couple of days ago and speaking about it again, just made me realise how big is was, and also the terrible red bleeding with him. Guess we will never know why our bodies treat every pregnancy differently, I was like you and the current twin m/c I just had, I had no reason to think that anything was wrong as I didn't even bleed until the nite before I requested a scan. I gathered I had got that far with no bleeding and for their to be the slightest of slight discharge on my undies I wondered why the hell now!!! I am sorry for your losses darling. I sometimes wonder if I would have had all of these problems if I was under 30. I just don't think my body can do it now..... Anyway here's hoping we are both utd this month hey.
-
Oh and I forgot to say, we had two sacs too, apprently one sac dividing into two is also identical and they could proove that because the sacs were slightly still joined in one corner. I am not sure about the first lot of twins we m/c as they were seperate so all hypathetical now.
See when I went to the gyno this pregnancy gone, he told me that twin pregnancies are probably more common then we think. So many women have a bleed and that was probably a twin trying to escape, but because scans aren't generally until 11-14 weeks then this sort of thing can happen without a doctor even knowing about it. So he does believe this is def more common then we all realise.
-
Nice to meet you too!
It's a mystery to me. After losing our last little man I tested positive to the blood clotting disorder but the follow up test was negative. I asked if it where possible that I only have this disorder while pregnant - but apparently not. Sounds strange but I had privately hoped I did have it because then I could be monitored and tested in future (fingers crossed) pregnancies. And it could have provided some much needed answers to why?
Did your sac continue to get bigger? Mine got slightly bigger and closer to what was they healthy baby....my DH used to joke it was a red wine sac...because my body missed it so much...
-
How does that work, positive then negative. What sort of signs do you have for a clotting disorder when not pregnant? My sac stopped growing at 6 weeks 5 days but I was nearly 9 weeks when I went for a scan. There was nothing in the sacs, but the first twin m/c I had there was nothing in the 2nd sac, but a heart beating away in the 2nd, which we lost 10 days later. I actually had bleeding in the sac, it was horrible the way they described it, they actually thought I had a molar pregnancy. Well that is what every scan indicated but then upon testing the cystic mass as they called it, luckily enuf it wasn't a molar pregnancy - phew!!!!
-
When I'm not pregnant I'm negative...but the blood they took when I was put into labour this time was positive...is that even possible?
On the 13 w scan (compared with an earlier one) the sac is much closer and noticeably but slightly larger...then the 18 w scan there is actually a third tiny sac next to it. I thought they both must have been blood clots (like I had with William) and that they were growing in my uterus. On the last scan they looked like tiny eyes sitting above the baby.
-
Just throwing something out there, could it be possible we clot with boys as apposed to girls..........................
-
howdy everyone.
CeCe- big hugs to you, my dear. :hug:
Mel - WOO HOO and good luck friday!
had my first scan yesterday. they couldn't find Peanut's heartbeat for so long, then moved my uterus and peanut and there it was. for a moment or two i couldn't remember if i was in the room trying to find Yeti's heartbeat or if i was with Peanut. it was a bit of an anxiety attack. but i could breath again when i saw that little pitter patter.
-
Morning...
Auntie M - GREAT news! nothing like a wiggling peanut to fill the heart with joy! I had a scan (for a completely unrelated reason recently) and I started sweating like never before. The lady asked if everything was alright...didn't go into it though. Although I think she is the first stranger who escaped the details!
Shereejoy - sorry about last night...I thought you'd gone to bed and thought you maybe thinking "If we don't get to bed soon neither of us will get pregnant" LOL. Not sure if it is possible that it's gender related. I had a booking to go to Mel's OB in August. I got scared and cancelled. You know how the TTC emotions can grab you and shake you around. We've been trying for four years - seriously working at it for two - Like everyone I've seen so many single lines on preg tests - I even catch myself squinting to search for even a hint of a line.
Mel - Can't wait to hear how you are going today...just heard five of 11 of my brother and his wife's are looking good - they are going in on Saturday to have two snuggled into bed!!! My brother has been crying with excitment/fear/ and everything in between for two days now. I'm thinking of you...knowing that even though nothing is easy... can't help but be excited with your progress....

AuntieM- reading that.. my chest was sooo tight... I think I had a mini panic attack just reading it. Girl, after that, you'd best be treating yourself VERY well today... something like brownies with caramel ice cream or new shoes.
Mel- awesome job incubating those little eggies! You go girl! I am super excited for you.
gks- I have actually taken apart tests to see if I saw a line. I am pathetic.
I think the witch is on her way tonight... but I am much better today about it than I have been the past few days. I was kinda rude today so maybe that helped? The "friend" I have who is due the week I was... the one who wants me to throw her a baby shower and has all my maternity clothes.. called today to whine about being "so big" and I told her to call me when she grew some blankety-blank compassion, but until then, complain to someone who wouldn't give anything to be huge and uncomfortable. felt SOOOOOO good. I actually cursed and let all my anger ( I have been storing up) and greif all out on her... I don't think she'll be calling me much anymore and God willing, I won't be in on her shower. hahahaha
Hugs and Blessings,
CeCe

georgi - welcome back, we'd thought we'd lost you for good, good to have you back. how are you? doing ok?
mel - you know your so going to be stalked for the next few days, 22 eggs thats amazing, wow chicken nearly 2 dozen, how fantastic is that?! sorry for the chicken reference i just had to. praying that loads get fertilised but that you only need one and that all goes well tomorrow. do you get it put in tomorrow too? sorry i didn't know how to word that.
cece - how did your temp go today? i just wanted to say this month mine dropped one to just above my coverline, and another just below, so i guess there is hope, and i am hoping everything for you. well you just posted so i am updating, good on you for telling her how it is, some people need to grow a brain and think before whinging to us. i find i have less tolerance for whingers these days.
auntie m - phew, what an unnerving time you must have had, but thankfully they found little peanut pitter pattering along, so thankful peanut is well, i have my first one in a week and a half, and I'm just dreading it, some days i feel it others i don't, today is one of those i don't so i don't know what to think, so many thoughts swimming around the head.
anyway, hi to everyone, i hope we are all well.
-
judy - when is it that you have your lap, some reason i thought it was today, good luck if it is.

Hi all
Klee - Yes I'm back - I often checked on everyone but I just didn't know what to write about where we were at...I still don't...but I missed everyone and as we all know - this is often the only place in the world where we can talk about how we are really feeling. I just don't know what to say to my friends about it anymore. They all say just forget about it and it will happen...but as we all know that is not so easy to do.
What's your news? when you say you're having your scan in a week and a half ...does that mean what I think it does??? Please tell me it's true!!!
CeCesays - you're my kind a girl too - pulling apart the tests - that's brilliant. Now that we are confessing I also rumage through the bins to pull out a discarded test just in case I missed something.
The last person that was due two days after me (we were due on 26 Sept) had her baby this morning she had a boy...I'm so happy for them...I just wish so hard we were holding our little boy today too..Sorry I think I'm having a bad patch. I went for a walk with friends to clear the head and give a fresh start to the day...it hasn't worked...is 11.24am too early for a stiff drink???? LOL
Can't wait to hear from you Mel
Georgie
