IVF babies due 2026?

[1989Frog]

Hi - I couldn’t find a thread but just wondered if anyone else was expecting in 2026 post ivf? I’m due end of Feb so just wanting any similar ladies to chat with!

Having a reassurance scan tomorrow (should be 10wks) and booking appointment day after.

@magpie234 think I remember your name from previous threads. I used to me infertilityandme

@Timetotryagain@PlanBFertility I recognise both your names… you both got positives fairly early in the thread and I was so hoping I would join you so am very happy to be here!

I think I will be booking quite a lot of reassurance scans (is that actually what they’re called?) in this pregnancy if it continues!!! I’d like one every day at this rate 😭😂 Besf of luck for yours tomorrow @PlanBFertility

Hope everyone is doing well.

Will anyone be finding out the gender of their bubba? DH and I are undecided, I don’t want to, he does.

Yep
Will find out late sept or early Oct

So far ive bought gender neutral clothes

Im ' that ' person that will have had 2 private scans by 12 wks

@worldwidetravel2017 how far along are you?
I have booked a private gender scan for 14th September, that will put me at 17+2.
My 20 week scan isn’t until the 10th Oct which I will actually be 21 weeks by then. I cant wait that long to see the baby again

@magpie234 i also recognise your username. I’ve been on a lot of threads over the years so our paths have probably crossed before. I have had 3 scans so far and am only 10 weeks so don’t worry. My IVF clinic gave me two and I booked a private one when my symptoms disappeared. The private sonographer I saw was so nice and said that basically IVF pregnancies are so anxious and ‘just do what you need to do to get through the first trimester’. I thought that was good advice.

@lemonwrighty we are having the NIPT test tomorrow (assuming baby is still ok when they scan me) and that will tell us the gender as part of the results. I used to want a surprise but my feelings have changed now.

@PlanBFertilityhope the scan goes ok x

11.5 weeks

We have a private scan this sat

Im nervous about stopping lubion
( ivf pregnancy & high risk )

Def gd advice
Re ivf pregnancies
& just do what youve gotta

I will have had3 epu scans
& 2 private 1s
& ivf clinic1

@lemonwrighty We’re hoping to keep it a surprise till they’re born. I like the excitement and anticipation of not knowing. With my first, my partner told me and it was a really special moment. I think ivf also takes so much of the mystery/ surprise out of pregnancy so I liked not knowing for that reason too.

Went for what should have been my 10 week scan today, looking forward to seeing my baby.

baby died at 7wks so literally few days after ivf clinic scan. I am beyond devastated and don’t really know where to go from here.

@PlanBFertility i am so unbelievably sorry to read your update, thats absolutely devastating especially after ivf :( a few years ago similar happened to me found out at 9 weeks and it was just devestating.

Sending you so much love and thoughts :( xxxx

@PlanBFertilityI am sending you a hug. I’m so sorry this has happened and I hope you can take some time to process. This journey is so tough and just know you are in my thoughts x

So sorry to hear

( when your ready - the worst girl gang ever charity can be a great support )

@PlanBFertility I am so sorry to hear, sending you so much love and hugs x

@Strawberrryfieldsyes I like the idea of what you did for you first. I have always dreamt of my DH telling me what the baby is as I feel that’s a really special moment. He wants to find out but ultimately if we’re not on the same page then we wont do anything until we are

@confused2025 yes I’ve had 1 scan from the ivf clinic, 2 epu scans @ 11 and 13 week & 1 scan from my nhs 12 week. It’s such a huge wait from 12-20 weeks

Im consultant led care & very high risk so nhs are giving me a 16 week scan

Will probably get private scans at 14 weeks & 18 weeks

( pregnancy after loss = hard )

@worldwidetravel2017 i just got through a scan appointment for 16 weeks too with the consultant xx

@lemonwrighty yeah that’s makes sense and you still have plenty of time to decide ☺️

Ace

( im waiting for mine too - i know it was requested last week but yeah )

Nice to have extra scans

Are you guys getting the flu jab?

Totally agree, it’s really hard to trust the process when you’ve had that experience. I am really trying to see this pregnancy as its own thing but some days that’s harder than others.

I think if I get to 12 I’ll book at private one at 16 as 12-20 feels like a lifetime. Was thinking there might even be some flickers of movement around by 16 which would definitely be reassuring🤞But also don’t think I’ll fully take a breath till they’re in my arms!

Additionally i have aps
/ anti philosphid syndrome

Which = not good

& highers a load of risks

@Strawberrryfields we’re actually having a private gender scan done at 17 weeks so the gender will be sat in a envelope probably locked away somewhere so we’re both not tempted to open it until we decide to.

@worldwidetravel2017 I’m booked for flu jab just after my 21 week scan, I’ve not thought too much into it really. Are there any pros/cons to having it / not having it done other than the obvious?
