https://crazy4ababy.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/61415-can-someone-press-the-fast-forward-button

6/14/15 Can someone press the fast forward button? June 15, 2015. June 15, 2015. Should I put one or two embryos in? Will the pregnancy be viable this time? I have been trying my hardest to keep myself distracted, but it was been extremely hard. Everything around me is babies. Even comedies on TV somehow end up with babies or pregnant women. It makes it look so easy. Did it really actually happen? For now, I will continue to focus on the future and hope I get there sooner than later. Ill start by some th...

Egg retrieval and BLOAT | Two Ladies Making Babies

https://twoladiesmakingbabies.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/egg-retrieval-and-bloat

Two Ladies Making Babies. Egg retrieval and BLOAT. March 24, 2015. Egg retrieval went well–they got 20 eggs, 17 of which were mature and 14 of which fertilized. Statistically only 30-50% of those 14 embryos will make it to Friday (transfer day), but I’m hoping we have some left to freeze. I don’t think I have OHSS–or if I do, it’s mild–but I am a little surprised at how shitty I feel. It’s hard to walk upright, and my belly is tender to the touch. Acupuncture today w...Post-transfer weekend →. Sorry abou...

Heartbeat, love, and nausea at 7w3d | Two Ladies Making Babies

https://twoladiesmakingbabies.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/heartbeat-love-and-nausea-at-7w3d

Two Ladies Making Babies. Heartbeat, love, and nausea at 7w3d. April 29, 2015. I was so nervous before our scan today–but all went well. Our little frog measured right on target at 7w3d, and so we graduated from our infertility clinic and are headed out into the big wide world of OB-land. I wasn’t expecting the heartbeat to look so much like–well, a heart? A human heart beating? 1 Pay attention to how you feel! 3 Don’t eat anything or you’ll throw up! 2 Keep working and suck it up! Aww, little gummy bear!

Chugging along at 9w2d | Two Ladies Making Babies

https://twoladiesmakingbabies.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/chugging-along-at-9w2d

Two Ladies Making Babies. Chugging along at 9w2d. May 12, 2015. Not too much to report, other than that the nausea and headaches been constant and unforgiving. And the DREAMS! I feel so exhausted every morning when I wake up, because the whole night has been fraught with complicated narratives and long-forgotten memories. Vivid images from summer camp, lyrics from songs I haven’t heard in fifteen years–it’s like my childhood is unfolding again before my eyes. Have I had a flu shot? Other than that, I fee...

6w3d | Two Ladies Making Babies

https://twoladiesmakingbabies.wordpress.com/2015/04/22/6w3d

Two Ladies Making Babies. April 22, 2015. Not much to report. I’m not sure if the 12 months of failed cycles instilled in me a sense of futility about childbearing, or if this is the way all women feel, but this pregnancy still does not feel “real” to me. I find myself expecting things to go wrong, to find out that parenthood is still out of my reach. But then there are random moments where I feel really optimistic. We’re having a baby! More good news and the unbearable 3WW. April 22, 2015 at 5:27 pm.

The Final Countdown | Two Ladies Making Babies

https://twoladiesmakingbabies.wordpress.com/2015/03/20/the-final-countdown

Two Ladies Making Babies. March 20, 2015. I had my last ultrasound before retrieval today–14 fully mature follicles, plus about 20 small ones. The nurse said that they often find more when they’re “poking around in there,” and the way she plunged her finger in the air as she said it made me quite happy I’ll be asleep for the whole thing. So, trigger tonight and retrieval Sunday morning! Stims day 6 – and now I get it. Egg retrieval and BLOAT →. March 20, 2015 at 9:27 am. March 20, 2015 at 10:38 am. I sti...

Good news and new fears | Two Ladies Making Babies

https://twoladiesmakingbabies.wordpress.com/2015/04/06/good-news-and-new-fears

Two Ladies Making Babies. Good news and new fears. April 6, 2015. My RE was so happy to tell me the good news that she called me herself today: My beta is 202! To which I said: WHEW. So we tested again the next day with a Dollar Tree cheapie and got a faint positive. And again the next day. Still she was skeptical. Until 8dp5dt, when I woke up to this big fat beauty:. But I’m trying to stay positive. Because OMG we’re pregnant! More good news and the unbearable 3WW →. April 6, 2015 at 4:08 pm. That&#8217...

More good news and the unbearable 3WW | Two Ladies Making Babies

Two Ladies Making Babies. More good news and the unbearable 3WW. April 8, 2015. My RE called this morning…beta #2 is 443! That’s just slightly more than doubled in 48 hours. Now comes the hard part: waiting for three weeks until the first ultrasound. No more blood draws or appointments until then. I feel a bit like I’m on a raft that’s been pushed out to sea. I really wish there was a way to measure my beta at home, just for reassurance. (Is there? Good news and new fears. April 8, 2015 at 3:33 pm. Fill ...
