I ended up with preeclampsia, so got taken in early, and had the twins on 28th June by section.
A boy and a girl ❤️
James & Isabella - 4lb13 and 4lb11

I ended up really poorly with sepsis as I had a water infection prior to then arriving that didn't clear up and I didn't know, so was in hospital for 8 nights.

I'm home and settled now and feeling loads better 🙂

Are you back home? Hope you are ok?

Hello ladies. Sorry been off the radar. My life got really weird. Feeling a bit emotional today so thought I’d share. My partner decided to have sex with an unknown (apparently) girl in a club toilet 8 weeks ago. I found his dirty underwear and he has since admitted it. He moved out but now has a flat in the same block as
me. We spend every day together and are friends but that is it. He wants to work things out but I can’t bare discussing it and getting stressed until after she is here, it’s been absolutely heartbreaking but one thing I have learnt is I am actually strong as fuck 💪 and have managed to stay rational. Being left when you are this vulnerable has been so shocking and I’m 95% I can’t forgive so don’t even entertain conversations about reconciliation. I can’t believe after three rounds of IVF , and me spending my life savings £10,000 on this final round with my absolute best friend that this has happened. I have since met SOOOO many women whose partners have done this while pregnant. What the fuck is that about. Anyway. I’m 38 weeks and having a sweep on Tuesday if that doesn’t work got c section the following week.
I hope your pregnancies have all gone a little smoother, I just need my little girl (named Kizzy) to be here now and move on with the next chapter.
thinking of you all.

Hi all, it's (mk85) great to hear about your beautiful little babies making their way into the world.
I had my little boy on 4th july . I was induced at 38 weeks. Were just glad we got him out as my cord was failing and blood flow to him was so low. He hadnt grown in 2 weeks. I had to have ctg every 2 days. We spent our first moments together in nicu his body was over producing insulin and his blood sugars were so low and couldn't stabilise. I had gestational diabetes which they couldnt control which they think is why its taken so long for his insulin to resolve. They had to put him on glucose drip and gradually lower dose slowly to try and trick his body into thinking he doesn't need to produce so much. My heart was breaking watching him with tubes in his stomach and nose and they had to prick him with needles every hour to take his sugars. We finally got him home on Wednesday night. Were still struggling with feeding and he has dreadful colic. Were at our wits end with the non stop crying and sleepless nights lol
I think he'll be the one and only baby for me :( I don't think I couldn't cope with another pregnancy as I developed so many complications and labour was a nightmare. I had so many drips up it was insane. Took every drug offered and nothing helped the pain 🤬 they pushed for an epidural but that was a nightmare. It took an hour to insert and they tried it 7 times and ended up going a vertebrae higher as couldn't get it in and it didn't even work. I was checked at 7cm and one hour later I begged for a section but they asked me to wait a few hours as things were progressing so fast and to speak to surgeon in meantime. I'm convinced baby boy was down the canal as I just felt him and begged to check me again but they refused. When they didn finally agree to check of course I was indeed 10cm. It felt like he was stuck in that canal for a long time. Apparently I was hysterical, not helped by the fact I could hear someone down the hall squealing their lungs off 😆
They prepped me for theatre for section as i was exhausted but thankfully in end up I got away with vaginal birth. I had a spinal tap, best thing ever . Baby was born with help of suction and forceps. Had 2 tears inside and episiotomy. Horrible recovery. Still struggling with pain and pressure everyday. I feel like im in a constant state of labour lol
How is every one feeling now?
How did you feel when you saw baby?
It felt really odd to me. I remember they placed him on me and he had this big freaky black alien eyes and felt all rubbery. I was thinking is this the baby 😆 my little boy passed out after they set him on me so we didn't get much holding until recovery room and then he was taken to nicu.
I'm just so glad it's over and now it's just trying to adjust.
He was 6lbs1oz when born
This is our little one

@millie Ah yes our little boy was the same . He was kept in longer to establish feeding as he wasn't taken bottles and they had to tube feed him.
Seems a common issue , I met 3 couples in nicu and all said they reason they can't get home now is the feeding issue.
I was really surprised they let us out. I reckon it was more to do with overcrowding as he had all tube feeds night before, he falls asleep during bottle feeds and next day he was discharged even tho he wasn't feeding well at all and when he would feed he'd only take about 20 or 30 ml

Wow your truly remarkable 👏

I'm struggling with just the one baby nevermind two 😆
How are you managing .
I'm feeling like a zombie these days

I've just had a failed June transfer (fresh)

I'm 29, my DH is mid 30s. We've got a DC who is 2 and was conceived first month of trying. TTC for just over a year and just had our first IVF privately.
Results: 13 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 1x day 5 embryo, 2x day 6 embryos. None euploid.

Those sound like terrible results for my age?! AMH is 13 so not terrible. A million investigations have been done on myself and DH (hormone profile, hycosy, follicle counts, scans, semel analysis... to name a few), no issues found at all.

Has anyone had a similar case? Do we need to adjust the protocol? Change clinic? What questions would you ask to the doctor?

How is everyone getting on ? How’s all the baby’s doing ?
