Any ivf pregnancies ?

[whataglouriousthingtobe]

I'm only 6+2 and super paranoid about absolutely everything. Had my fet on the 28/09, it was our second fet after the first one failed, I had bleeding before I even got to the otd. My scan is this Thursday and it's fair to say I'm bricking it.

Would be nice to chat with some ladies who've done ivf, I have been keeping an eye on the June 2022 thread but sometimes I find I can't relate.

@TheSnufflet yes that's the case for me
I got a pack of 3 bras that had no wire, they were bra shaped so not sports bra but only in small medium or large
I ended up buying medium as the backs on the medium were too small!
I also got a pack of lace bralets which are ok
They don't look great and I'm not sure what support they give as I feel I only get this from a bra but they feel more comfortable then the wire digging in

Oh my goodness, I've put on so much weight! This despite vomiting daily and feeling sick most of my pregnancy so far. When I could manage food, it was lots of white carbs, so to be expected.

To those of you who've lost weight, I wouldn't worry. Babies are still small at this stage and your body has been working harder so probably burning slightly more calories than usual. I'm sure the weight gain is just around the corner!

Thanks guys! I’m not going to be too concerned and taking this as green light to have cake and ice cream tonight again! Lol!

@LemonyT I'm losing a little weight over first trimester as my appetite ain't great, im down ~2lbs over the last 2-3 weeks. It sounds like what you're describing is a lot of weight redistribution - you might just be losing some fat stores to get some extra energy for growing baby.

Thanks for the well wishes. Scan today was absolutely fine - I'm still measuring a day ahead at 7+5, and everything checked out fine with bean (we even got a little butt wiggle). I still have a fairly sizeable area of bleeding, but the nurse says its coagulated and she'd expect it to reabsorb and probably be gone by the 12 week scan. Also as I've had no active bleeding since the scary gush the other week she said it should all be ok.

Re: stopping meds, I got given my med reduction plan today - I'll start reducing meds in stages from 11 weeks to be finished by 12.5 weeks.

So, first on the list tomorrow is to contact midwife team and make booking in appointment!

Congratulations @2mumlife. That's sounds very positive about the area of bleeding and hopefully it will reabsorb as she says 💕

@2mumlife excellent news that everything is OK. Re weaning off meds I'm still not quite done and I'm 14 weeks 🤣 Where are you at? @strawberrysummer19 I had 100mg progesterone last night and the night before (was on 200mg prior). So I can't decide if to do another 100mg tonight and tomorrow night or just stop now. 🤷‍♀️

As we're in the last page, I made a thread 2 before we run out 🙂 I think I've tagged most of you but if not:

@paintfairy I've completely stopped now
I did have some left but I figured I didn't want to carry on as I was told 12 weeks and I can wean if I want to so figured it's safe now
It's nice not doing them actually x

@strawberrysummer19 I might just stop now then!

I was really worried at the thought and was going to carry on but then I figured I'm 13 weeks and have also weaned so I thought I'd come off! Otherwise I would never have felt ready!! But being 14wks tomorrow and knowing some don't even do it until 12 at some clinics I thought now was the time x

How is everyone? How many weeks now ladies? X
