I am relieved to have this first phase over with. The consultant asked ALOT of questions as to why I was doing IVF, and why I was going abroard. Slightly difficult to answer, especially with my son sitting on my lap. However, I was honest and straight...

I'll be 20 wks on Wed (today's Mon) but since both of my boys were born at 37 wks I've considered myself halfway at 18 1/2 wks. I'm excited to have this milestone reached but I feel like I've accomplished so little on preparing for...

Just a quick update: We have booked our Consultation for Pre-Cycle testing! It was fairly straight forward to book as they see a lot of women who then go on to do IVF abroard. My DH can't make it so it will be me and my baby! The Consultant will also...

Oops I did it again... or more precisely we did it again. Whilst still deciding whether we were even going to have a 4th child with DH's travel schedule and living in a new town, it was very much up for debate, Nature took her own course and we are...

Term for a singleton is 40 weeks. But for twins, is considered 36-37 weeks. So I am considering myself half-way today. Yay!! I am starting to feel the babies move more, which is cool. But also, some nasty Braxton-Hicks contractions have started. Am not...

So on Friday at 17 wks and 2days we had an appt where the dr. was actually able to find all 3 lines and tell us "It's a Girl". Now she knows we did PGD but she knows that we really wanted confirmation. She wrote "I am a girl" on...

We sold our last home almost three years ago, and since then have been living in a nice, very affordable apartment in our favorite neighborhood which is close to downtown and my work. We had been toying with the idea of buying a home in this area for...

Arg! I was not really expecting this. First off, I just told my own family we are expecting. I was waiting until after we had "found out" the gender by u/s. Everyone is happy. But a few people have come out and asked if these babies were conceived...

Negative beta result. Sad and disappointing, I finally cried today. But its also releasing to know that this is over - we can move on now. We're going to go natural for a while - I want a baby more than I want my girl. And if we dont get her this...

Okay, so it's good news all round today. As a recap, I've never had an OB before, or visited a hospital for prenatal appointments. So this was all uncharted territory! lol First off, our new OB was punctual for our appointment (wow!). And she...

5.5dp5dt, more BFN. I am starting to accept that I'm not pregnant but it will take me a few more days to get over it. I will then start talking to DH about what to do next - for now I just dont want to think or talk about it..

Peed 3 times today, tested every time. BFN. Not a hint of a line. I might be being irrational but on some level I really believed I would get a BFP today.. Starting to really think I'm not pg after all..

Ok, the trigger is finally out of my system - on the 10th day after having the ovidrel. I had my last faint positive hpt at 4am and since then I've had 2 good negatives.. This means if I start to get positives in the next few days I can feel fairly...

Well bed rest so far hasnt been too bad, we're on holidays in a hotel room so everything is close by anyway.. I've had some encouraging signs - some light cramping and lower back pain last night, and my uterus feels "sensitive" when...

Out of our 4 embies, 2 made it to day five, both were girls (thank you Microsort!) Our third girl stopped growing at 7 cells, and the 4th was abnormal (no second sex chromosone was there, only one x) It feels so wonderful to know there are two little...
