I am here! Right now doing my third pressaries for the day and watching/listening to my dd fighting her second nap.... it's going to be a long night

just want to add EDD 25/8/19(LMP date), just about 2 weeks earlier than my dd's edd. I am 6w2d according to the online ivf calculator.

Not many symptoms on my side except feeling so tired all the time, insomnia seems to be improving, probably because I am exhausted looking after a sick dh, toddler dd and our furbaby since Xmas day. Gp said my iron is really low at 14 and should go on iron supplements, didn't have low iron in last pregnancy though.

Oh maybe I should add we have a 15 months old dd from ivf too. Fx this pregnancy goes smoothly and mark the completion of my little family .

[Mum-I-Am]

Late afternoon naps are the worst! When are you having a scan @Btae?

EDD here is 2/9/19 but I will need to deliver at about 36 weeks. I think I must have mild hyperstimulation because I’m so nauseated and bloated. I’ve been napping every day so lucky DH is still on leave.

I’m seeing my GP this week and then I’ll see OB in a couple of weeks.

[Btae]

My scan is on 7/1, I will be anxious until I see the little hb on the screen. So far no bleeding, no cramp, just minor nausea on empty stomach.

Oh are you on anything to prevent ohss, from memory wazza asked me to drink protein drink, pear juice, a lot of fluid and high protein diet during those stim cycles.

DD was born 36w5 due to vasa previa, fx I don't have it this time!! And the gdm....

[Mashie]

Hi Ladies,
Can I join you? EDD 9/8/19. All going well here. Morning sickness has started..... I vomited every day with DD including the day I was induced, hoping it’s not as bad this time around.

[Mum-I-Am]

Hey @Mashie!

I hear you on the morning aickness I had it my whole pregnancy both times, it was great for weight loss but not much else.
@Btae, I’m doing all of the fluids and protein hopefully it will ease up soon.

I had GDM both pregnancies so no doubt I’ll have that again. I had a partial previa with DS. When he passed away at 23 weeks we tried for a vaginal birth to avoid a classical caesarean and I haemorrhaged it was so scary. DD was a caesarean at 32 weeks because I started contracting and had already had the classical.

Hoping to join here too. I'll be six weeks tomorrow - EDD 27/8/19

I have twin girls who are nearly 3yo from IVF in 2015 and have been trying for this addition since May with 3 stim cycles This was our only embryo from the last cycle so fingers crossed it sticks!

@Mashie @maxinem2112 Welcome! Congratulations on the bfp!

I had some spotting last night, my heart sank when I saw the bright red. Quickly dug out all the old messages when I bled last time. I realised it was around the same time 6w3d. Luckily I have all the med here so put myself on semi bedrest now. Today I only saw brown blood which is a good sign.

[Btae]

@Mum-I-Am I delivered DD via planned cs due to higher risk, I also had surgery to remove fibroids previously. Your first experience sounded really scary. I had about 2l blood loss during cs but my ob was very calm and managed to stop it after maybe like 5 mins? I only felt cold and a bit weak but recovered well once they gave me some blood transfusion.

Now I wait to see if there is more blood until the scan......

[Btae]

@Mashie, you poor thing, I didn't really have much of ms so can only imagine what you had been through. Hopefully it's not as severe this time round.
@maxinem2112 fx fx fx grow grow grow little bean. I have used up all my good embies, still have two inconclusive and one abnormal on ice, but my fs has retired so this feels like it for me.
