@lemons44 That's great news! You must be so excited :D I'm starting IVF in March if this cycle is a bust.

monsteramunch · 21/02/2023 21:14

Ah @lemons44 that's brilliant news! Congratulations, you deserve it Flowers

Netflixnchilli · 21/02/2023 22:27

@lemons44 thats great news! How exciting!

@BakinABaby sorry to hear about your scan, I had a similar situation a couple years ago and it’s hard not to panic but I hope you’re reassured that they’re checking it out thoroughly.

my heads in a spin today - had my follow up with private clinic after having all my immunology tests done and have a plan in place now but feeling quite overwhelmed. Anyone else in here have NK cell issues or following an immune protocol?xx

Carla2601 · 21/02/2023 22:48

@lemons44 thats great news - and you definitely deserve a smooth run from here. Let us know how you get on, will be thinking about you!

Koalie · 23/02/2023 10:26

Amazing news @lemons44 !!
I had my Zoladex on 14th Feb and was told I should have a period a week later but no AF in sight 🧐 waiting on a call from the clinic to see what happens if she doesn’t show up …
😕

lemons44 · 25/02/2023 21:47

Thanks all.

Hope AF starts for you soon @Koalie ! How are you feeling about things? Will you have a transfer soon?

@Carla2601 hope things are going well for you and bubba 💗

Sorry @Netflixnchilli I don't have any experience of this. What plan have they put in place for you? xx

Hi ladies - I welcomed baby Oscar on 26 Feb at 13.54, weighing 7lb 8oz. Lovely labour (albeit painful) managed on two paracetamol - I feel like super woman!

Bit of a dramatic entrance with an ambulance to NICU due to breathing difficulties. He was on CPAP and a feeding tube until he decided he’d had enough and ripped them out the following day 😂 Turns out he had fluid on the lungs and this has now turned into an infection, so we’ll be here until at least the weekend. So lovely to see his face without all the equipment on it now though 🥰

I'm praying this group gets some more good news stories soon!!! ❤️

TheBirdintheCave · 27/02/2023 18:35

Congratulations @BritInNZ :D Sounds like a bit of a scary time afterwards though. I hope Oscar is well enough to come home soon!

Tinkerbell098 · 27/02/2023 18:52

@BritInNZ congratulations!! That’s amazing news. Hope baby Oscar is doing well and can go home by the weekend.

@FlyOnTheWall89 i bet you don’t have too long to go either? Hope everything’s well.

I too have some news. I had my frozen embryo transfer just before Christmas and I’m now 12 weeks pregnant 😊 can’t quite believe it! Was a nervous wreck due to my miscarriage in October so wasn’t ready to say it out loud until I got to this point. Hopefully we’ll be breaking the news to family this week.

hope everyone’s having a good week. Love to all X

TheBirdintheCave · 27/02/2023 19:14

@Tinkerbell098 Hoorah! Congratulations to you too :D

lemons44 · 27/02/2023 19:18

@Tinkerbell098 congrats!! Well deserved

@BritInNZ oh wow! Baby Oscar! Massive congrats to you lovely. Was he a little early or over due?
wishing you both a speedy recovery. 😘

Koalie · 27/02/2023 22:19

@BritInNZ Congratulations !! What a lovely name 🥰 and what a badass Mum he has 😎 hope you’re able to take him home soon. X

& Congratulations @Tinkerbell098 ! How was the first trimester? ☺️ x

What gorgeous news @BritInNZ FlowersFlowersFlowers

monsteramunch · 27/02/2023 22:35

And huge congrats to you @Tinkerbell098 that's amazing news! Flowers

FlyOnTheWall89 · 27/02/2023 23:16

Amazing news @BritInNZ - sounds like you are super woman!!!!

@Tinkerbell098 couldn't be more happy for you!!!!

Of all the days in the year, Matilda came on the 26th Feb too @BritInNZ.... she was nearly a week late and we ended up needing an emergency c section after labour just didn't progress quickly enough post premature rupture of membranes. 24 hours labour then a c sec was not in my mind even though I was super open minded about my 'birth plan' 😂, but she is heavenly and so worth the wait. She was 8lbs1. Totally adore her and we will leave hospital in the next few days.

Xxx

BritInNZ · 28/02/2023 01:23

@FlyOnTheWall89 that's amazing - 26 Feb is clearly a fantastic date!!! Sorry to hear the 'plan' didn't work out, but she's here and safe and that's the main thing. I hope you have a swift recovery from the c section too. We might even end up leaving the same day too - all going well we'll be out by the end of the week 🥰

@Tinkerbell098 that's AMAZING news!!! How have you been feeling?! I know it's really scary but you're over the first hurdle now. Just don't expect to stop worrying, this is it now - you will worry forever 😂

@Indianna2006 he was a little bit early - 39+3 🥰 glad because I was VERY over being pregnant!

Koalie · 28/02/2023 07:10

@FlyOnTheWall89 Oh my goodness ! Another beautiful name 😍 what are the chances of you having her the same day as @BritInNZ ?! 😱 I love that. Congratulations !!! 🥰 x

Indianna2006 · 28/02/2023 09:38

@BritInNZ oh wow yes so few days early 😍😍 amazing! Enjoy him!

@FlyOnTheWall89 ahhh massive congrats lovely! Baby Matilda. I bet she’s a little dolly. Was your DH so glad she’s finally here?
might labour hardly ever goes to plan. But well done you. Hope it wasn’t traumatic and you heal well.
I am booked in for an elective section in just over 6 weeks time. An I had an assisted natural delivery last time (with tons of complications) so hence medical need for surgery this time. And I am pooping it. Not gonna lie 🙈😂 I’m sure all will be fine though. Baby will arrive 38+6 so hoping labour doesn’t start before that.

Tinkerbell098 · 28/02/2023 10:04

Thanks everyone! It just doesn't seem real still.

@Koalie it's been absolutely fine, quite smooth sailing so far, so fingers crossed it stays that way. I was a bit nervous at the start due to the lack of symptoms but three scans later, thought I should just count myself lucky!

@FlyOnTheWall89 massive congratulations!! How amazing you and @BritInNZ giving birth on the same day! What are the chances! Hope all goes well and you'll be home in no time. So happy for you X

@Indianna2006 OOO not too long to go now! All the best for the next 6 weeks and beyond, hope the wait isn't too bad X

Carla2601 · 28/02/2023 23:14

@Tinkerbell098 yesssssss!!!! So thrilled for you! So glad to hear you’re feeling well too.

@FlyOnTheWall89 wonderful news and hope you’re up and about and home soon but make the most of the help whilst you’re in hospital

@BritInNZ congrats! Sorry to hear he’s not been well and hope you’re all back to tip top and home soon

@Indianna2006 good luck with the section, I hear lots of positive elective section stories so hopefully yours will be too 😊

lemons44 · 08/03/2023 15:38

@FlyOnTheWall89 huge congrats! So happy for you. I can't believe after how long it took you and @BritInNZ to conceive you ended up having babies on the same day. It's such a lovely success story for our group ❤️

Hope everyone is doing ok?

We had our IVF consultation today. The doctor has written our prescription and just waiting on the nurses to contact me to learn how to do the injections.

Does anybody know anything about thyroid test results? I had to have mine done and wasn't sure if my result is ok. I forgot to ask my consultant.

I have a thyroid condition and get mine tested every 6 months. What were your results x

lemons44 · 08/03/2023 16:23

@2021lady it says Serum TSH level 1.99 mIU/L
