PinkPalace - Congratulations on your pregnancy! Yes some eagle eyed person on this thread spotted your news so we were all very excited, you were the first one to get pregnant again along with Meegm! I hope it has been an easy ride what with running after Ashley too

And she sounds very well too walking about already.....

Talking of cow's milk, when they start drinking it do you cut their milk intake down then? I must look into it but Lewis is on 3 x 220ml bottles of formula a day so should I start reducing that, I just hadn't given it a thought!

Thanks MofL
Ashley has been having it on cereal for about 2 months
Then about 2-3 weeks ago i jsut swapped it... put cows milk in her bottle instead and she didnt notice. and i just stopped giving her milk after lunch (offer her water in stead as i figure she doesnt need the lunch botle as it is not going to give her the nutrients a bigger lunch would now that it is cows milk). she didnt seem to notice

i slowly increased her meals sizes so she wasnt hungry for milk and she has about 80-100ml after breaky and then 250 ml b4 bed (nice and warm to make her sleepy).

Thanks for that. I am going to introduce cows milk in a few weeks after we have been on holiday. Will look into reducing his milk as he eats more, I will probably offer him a cup with his lunch and see if it bothers him or not.

Welcome back PP!! Glad to hear Ashley had a great birthday and Congrats on the pregnancy!!! You must be very excited xx

Well Sarah you hit the nail right on the head!! The nurse called my this morning (just before I was about to take my trigger) and asked us to come back in because she'd been thinking about us all night and was concerned about that 3rd follie. I had another u/s and yes she was right the 3rd one had caught up and they're now all the same size!! She rang the doctor who said, because I fell pg on the 1st OI cycle last time, he strongly suggested that we DONT go ahead with it this month. He said that the chances of conceiving triplets was way to high to risk!! Matt & I thought about going ahead anyway but then they started telling us about the chances of loosing one or more of the babies along the way and we just thought that it wasnt something we wanted to go into knowing the risks. If it happened naturally then it would have been a different story. It is hard though, as Matt said to me earlier, it feels like we're getting rid of a baby who hasnt even had the chance to live yet

After trying for so long and truly knowing what a blessing it is to have kids we're walking away from an almost certain pregnancy

Sorry about the long and somewhat negative post guys but I always feel better after venting to you all xx

Oooh Teepee, what a difficult situation. But yes multiple pregnancies do carry extra risks don't they. Plus multiple children do carry extra stress

What happens next time if you get more than 2 follicles again? Can they lower your dose a bit. I once had four follicles, it makes me wonder why they let me go ahead. Maybe they knew I was a lost cause!

Oh well, everything happens for a reason they say so keep your chin up......

Sarah they said they'll definitely reduce the dose for the next cycle and if it keeps happening then we might have to move on to IVF so its more controlled. She said the main reason they are hesitant is because I fell pg on the 1st cycle last time. She said my problem is obviously just ovulating and once we get that going that I'm actually quite fertile - hence the hesitation when there are more than 2 follies. If there are only 2 next month they will be happy to go ahead.

Oh and in response to your other comment....

YOU ARE NOT A LOST CAUSE!!!
