Wooooo!!!</p> <p>@yogirunner: I like that advice from the np, it's a good reminder and mantra! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2281262 Thu, 03 Sep 2015 08:50:57 +0000 YogiRunner 2281262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: @lazypanda: Thank you! I go to a mind-body program, and the nurse practitioner I'm working with told me, "You're pregnant today, and that's a wonderful thing", but I'm so used to waiting (waiting for the cycle to start, to see if I'll respond to meds, to know how many were retrieved, fertilized, and made it to 5 days, then of course the dreaded 2ww, then betas...) that I still feel like I'm waiting for this to be confirmed as "real". </p> <p>Trying to tell myself it's really real - sometimes those reminders come in the form of nausea, aching boobs and being extremely snippy with coworkers -- oops. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2281026 Wed, 02 Sep 2015 23:54:49 +0000 lazypanda 2281026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: yay for almost being done with the first trimester! Are you on progesterone suppositories? Cuz you get to be off of it at week 12 (at least my RE gave me the ok to stop then). </p> <p>@YogiRunner: congratulations! now that I am on the other side, the anxiety did not go away for me &amp; friends who did not deal with IF could not understand the apprehension which is why I loved this group. My anxiety did wane with each passing week. I think once I found out the gender, it felt more real. Especially when I got to see the actual head &amp; limbs. It's an amazing feeling to see the heartbeat. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2279602 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 17:57:37 +0000 winter_wonder 2279602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lazypanda: thank you so much :heart: 12 weeks is on Thursday!!</p> <p>@yogirunner: I so understand your anxiety. I kept thinking I would somehow jinx something by posting before the ultrasound. To be honest, I'm not sure the anxiety ever goes away when the stakes are so high. :bummed: I keep thinking that I'll be able to relax at some point, but I doubt it!</p> <p>I hope time passes quickly until your ultrasound! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2278968 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 10:44:30 +0000 YogiRunner 2278968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi ladies. Mind if I hop on this thread? I'm very newly pregnant (4 weeks 5 days, betas are great) after my first round of IVF. It's been about 1.5 years of trying all together, including 3 failed IUIs. So... I am still a bit guarded/nervous as I wait for my 6.5 wk ultrasound, and am hesitant to post on any other pregnancy forums, but I have a feeling this group fully understands the worry and the wait that's involved once you do get your BFP after IF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2278633 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 04:43:33 +0000 lazypanda 2278633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winter_wonder: woohoo, excited to see this update! It has been quite the year! Congrats! Hoping you have a wonderful pregnancy! :heart: </p> <p>@PrettyExcited: congrats on the news! I found this board helpful while I was pregnant &amp; didn't quite feel like I belonged in other groups given our lengthy arrival to pregnancy, though more of us were pregnant at the time. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2278632 Tue, 01 Sep 2015 04:40:17 +0000 lazypanda 2278632@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: definitely a huge shift, especially after such a long process, even more so for you! I hope you are enjoying your pregnancy! Motherhood is exhausting but those smiles are worth it. I remember wanting/hoping for twins, now I can't imagine even going through that as one is a lot to handle already! :silly: Kudos to all the twin mamas out there! :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2274959 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 15:58:51 +0000 PrettyExcited 2274959@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: currently first pregnancy after 1 1/2 of TTC. Still nervous. I'm 11 weeks today (with one). I preface that because I'm an identical twin and we did Clomid which makes twins more of a possibility. I'm leaning to boy based on placenta placement and my instinct. Plus I've only been nauseated like 2-3 times. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2272087 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 20:22:14 +0000 BSB 2272087@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lazypanda: this time last year, we were meeting with the RE to start the lab work and procedures to start IVF. It's been quite a year for us. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2272085 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 20:19:21 +0000 BSB 2272085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 32w3d pregnant with my B/G twins (through IVF) and if they stay in... I'll be meeting them in about 11-13 days!! PPROM at 28 weeks is making me deliver them at 34 weeks and my Dr is so happy that I hit the 32 week mark. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2272071 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 19:52:45 +0000 winter_wonder 2272071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>10 weeks and 4 days today! Feeling great so far :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2271658 Mon, 24 Aug 2015 12:29:46 +0000 lazypanda 2271658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats everyone! I have not gone on this forum in so long as I've adjusted to life with my little girl. I finally got to put her down for a nap now as previously she would only sleep in my arms. :heart: I just commented to a friend that a year ago yesterday was the day I found out we were pregnant. Time sure does fly by! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2261443 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 06:54:53 +0000 travellingbee 2261443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 19 weeks and doing well! We had secondary infertility with DOR and 2 miscarriages. We got pregnant on a Clomid and trigger cycle after a failed IUI. I'm so happy to not have TTC again. (This is our last child). Everything seems great with this little guy. He moves and kicks a ton and is measuring a little big. Due date Jan 4th! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2261428 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 06:02:58 +0000 FaithFertility 2261428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations to all the new mom's to b!!!!!<br /> Loved this thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2261420 Wed, 12 Aug 2015 04:49:47 +0000 BSB 2261420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Let's bump this thread again.</p> <p>How is everyone doing? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2182379 Mon, 18 May 2015 20:54:49 +0000 lauren0817 2182379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: yeah I hear you about loving the extra attention! I am almost 7 weeks, so hopefully he'll let me stay for another 2 weeks :) I also associate the OB's office with having a miscarriage - it was at my 10 week OB visit that the doctor couldn't find a heartbeat and told me I had a missed miscarriage. I know it sounds crazy, but I might actually go to different office location (same doctors, but they have 3 office locations) this time around so I can avoid those memories for the time being. This journey can be so hard. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2182279 Mon, 18 May 2015 19:26:08 +0000 BSB 2182279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lauren0817: I loved all the attention my RE gave me after getting pregnant. It was so nice. I graduated from my RE at 9 weeks. It was so different when I went to my OB. OB is great and nice but she is so busy. The u/s tech at my OB is definitely not as happy as my RE when I have u/s. I miss it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2182263 Mon, 18 May 2015 19:14:22 +0000 lauren0817 2182263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Thank you so much! I am still seeing my RE - we haven't discussed when he will kick me out yet, but I want to stay as long as possible :) Right now we are doing weekly ultrasounds - my next one is on Friday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2181723 Mon, 18 May 2015 11:31:37 +0000 BSB 2181723@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kristinleigh: @lauren0817: Welcome and congrats on your pregnancy!</p> <p>@lauren0817: When is your next appt? Are you still with the RE or have you seen the OB? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2178654 Thu, 14 May 2015 15:30:16 +0000 lauren0817 2178654@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Currently: 6 weeks, 1 day<br /> EDD: 1/5/2016<br /> How did you finally get your BFP? Our first FET cycle (I couldn't have a fresh transfer during my February IVF cycle because I was so sick with OHSS)<br /> Any previous children? No, one previous pregnancy that ended in miscarriage at 10 weeks<br /> Do you know your babies gender yet? No, but definitely want to find out!<br /> Are you more excited at this point or still fearful? So excited, but definitely more fearful - I had heavy bleeding last week so I am a nervous wreck after that. Everything looked okay by ultrasound though so we are hoping for the best :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2176262 Tue, 12 May 2015 21:30:57 +0000 marionberry 2176262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kristinleigh: Congratulations and welcome! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2176252 Tue, 12 May 2015 21:12:29 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2176252@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kristinleigh: Welcome!

Clomid.. second cycle 100mg.<br /> Any previous children? Miscarriage, no living children.<br /> Do you know your babies gender yet? Nope!<br /> Are you more excited at this point or still fearful? Fearful, but as each week passes (I got my BFP at 3 weeks and 3 days) and with my last few HCG checks, I'm starting to get less fearful and more excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2172973 Sat, 09 May 2015 17:29:33 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2172973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: That's so exciting!!! :heart: :boy: :girl: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2172633 Sat, 09 May 2015 01:55:48 +0000 Mrs.Pinecone316 2172633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Yay!!!

Congratulations!<br /> @ineebee: I got pregnant after 3 cycles NTNP with the twins. If you're breastfeeding steadily I think you can skip the pill and it will at least give you a couple of months before you'd get pregnant. I'm planning on eventually getting an iud as I don't want to ever be on the pill again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2172602 Fri, 08 May 2015 23:01:00 +0000 BSB 2172602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We found out today that we are pregnant with a girl and a boy!</p> <p>[attach=147/15/no2dup.450x600.image.jpg]</p> <p>[attach=147/15/no2duq.450x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2172053 Fri, 08 May 2015 12:51:23 +0000 tequiero21 2172053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: congrats!! Hope your lo is letting you sleep! Lol. </p> <p>@ineebee: I think as long as you are ok if u did get pregnant, go for ntnp. I got pregnant naturally after less than 12 cycles of trying. We started trying when my ivf twins were almost 9 months. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnancy-after-infertility-check-in/page/18#post-2171975 Fri, 08 May 2015 11:53:45 +0000 ineebee 2171975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Pinecone316: Thanks for that link - that thread is exactly what I needed! I didn't realize it, but some of the reasons people gave in that thread for not going on BC resonated with me: being sick of meds and not introducing the possibility of yet another reason why I can't get pregnant. Of course, these are all just mental blocks, but so much of IF is managing the mental and emotional challenges. </p> <p>@shellio: My brother and I are 18 months apart, and it was great! I'm definitely open to having kids close in age, and pregnancy was pretty easy on me (relatively!). It wouldn't be my desire to get pregnant ASAP, but every cycle in the next 2 years seem precious to me, and I don't want to "waste" any of them! </p> <p>Thanks, ladies, for your thoughts! </p>
