Here is the next thread lovelies!

@dinksandbinks wow you are so close! Bet it feels so surreal.

I keep having nightmares. They feel so real!
Last night I dreamt that I went to my first scan and there were 4 babies in there! And then I dreamed that no babies could be found!
I felt so sad I cried.
Progesterone is crazy

Amazing dinks not long now.

pony the nightmares are awful aren’t they!!

Hi @Liverpool19!

I am very well thank you, jetting around the world and a few holidays in between .

So glad to read you are well and the other ladies who got good news. Sorry for the one who didn't but there is always a next time!

As for me, I have decided to start on the next cycle, so fingers crossed it will all go well :-)!

@Dinks& Binks - wow 37.5 weeks, you are so close sweetie! So nice to hear from you!

Love and luck to all of you lovely ladies!

Hello everyone.

Congrats @Gaia2018 on your monster crop of eggs and embies!! Great work. Frustrating to have to wait but you are in such a good position now. And after all this is a game of patience.

@dinksandbinks 37.5 so exciting so close!

@Liverpool19 I also can't believe you are 14 weeks.

@PonyPals so there's a question - would you rather be pregnant with quads or not at all?! I'm not 100% sure what my answer would be to that!!! I dreamt my hair had all fallen out...which was very upsetting because my hair is truly very thin!! Ah the joys of aging.

I'm fine. Thanks for asking. We had a scan at 7 weeks at the clinic. Although all looked good for 7 weeks I was a bit concerned because the embie hadn't grown as much in one week as it could. So it was bang on schedule on my 6 week scan but only 6 wk5 on my 7 week. It could mean nothing - I was still in the normal range and they don't grow evenly - or it could mean that the bean had started to slow down. They didn't measure the heartbeat so I don't know if it had sped up as hoped since 6 weeks.

I also have barely any nausea (occasional waves but nothing really) and no other signs of being pregnant. So I've no idea if it's still going or ended to be honest. I'm fairly calm and determined to enjoy this while I can. Next scan 1 week today. Will be bricking it!

@Starlumiere hello! Great news that you feel ready to start again. When do you get going?

jane my nausea came in waves, some days I’d have none some days I’d have some. I swear if i hadn’t had 3 scans I wouldn’t know I was pregnant. With regards to the size. From each scan I’ve been given different dates even on my 13 week scan I was told I was 4 days more than I thought. The heart beat I didn’t get told anything apart from “that’s a good heart beat” or “that’s a strong heart beat” I still don’t feel pregnant now apart from being tired a lot the past couple of days, if I didn’t know I’d of put it down to work. Everyone’s body deals with pregnancy different, my friend keeps asking do I feel “different or pregnant” I just feel like me 😂😂. Xx

star good to hear you are ready to go again. Positive thoughts coming your way and I hope everyone else is holding up!! Xx

Hi everyone.

Congratulations to everyone on all their good news! @Janefx40 all sounds promising, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for you nonetheless! @Liverpool19 I can't believe you're 14 weeks already. Crazy!

@Starlumiere when are you starting again? We will be starting again shortly,

Thanks Jane, you are so right. Will re start my cycle of Patience on Headspace, lol! But seriously. In the meantime going to make the most and have the occasional sneaky glass of wine/half of beer :D

Thanks @janefx40 and @Liverpool19! Sorry only responded now but it has been manic at work!! How are you ladies?

Hi @Hoppy1985, well today is my last day of my period so should be starting around the 4th of July. What about you?

Happy Saturday to all!

@Starlumiere have to let them know date of my July period so they can send me a treatment plan with a view to egg collection September x

jane have you had your scan?

Hope everyone is well xx

Hiya @liverpool

Scan is tomorrow at 4:30. Had a migraine for past 2 days which is usually a sign of dropping progesterone so nervous about what the scan will show.

Thanks for asking. Hope you are all well x

Fingers crossed for you jane I’ve had headaches on and off all the way through to be honest. So hopefully it’s nothing.

I’m ok thank you

Hi ladies. We had our follow up scan at the EPU today. All good. We are 9 weeks and the bean is measuring exactly that. Big relief after 7 week scan measured slightly small. Heart beat fine. Saw the 3D images. Even looks a bit like a baby.

Really good day - am going to try and enjoy it before the worry starts up again!!

“Jane” this is amazing news!!!! I’m so so happy for you!! Have you got your booking in appointment sorted? Xx

@Janefx40 thanks wonderful news, so happy for you xxx

Thanks ladies. Booking appointment is tomorrow. I'd not actually booked it off work yet as I was feeling like that was tempting fate!

How are you ladies? Is anything exciting going on?

Hi beetroot I am ok thanks. How are? I have my gender scan tomorrow. I just keep thinking how did we get this far!! X

I am so happy for you @Liverpool!!! Have you got any feeling who are you expecting: boy or girl?
I am still waiting for an answer from hospital/clinic.

How long have you been waiting now beetroot
I’m 100% convinced it’s a boy. Most people are saying girl. If it is a girl I’ll have the biggest shock 😂 x

So, we’ve got this forum has got another little boy coming!! Xx

Oooo exciting. Congrats @Liverpool19 - just as you expected

Xxx

Thanks Jane. You ok? X
