My IVF journey

[lisey]

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, we had a lovely day. My OH did all the cooking as usual and it was amazing. I was sick for the first time last night too, a lovely Christmas memory for me lol. I don't usually get physically sick in pregnancy, not with my son or the other 3 that didn't end well so I hope its all good signs xx

Glad to hear things are still ticking over nicely for you lisey, although sorry to hear you were sick! xx

 

[Dee28]

Hurrah for puking! Gotta be a good sign! Xx

 

[lisey]

Thanks tinselcat and Dee. Yeah being sick is horrible but I'm not going to complain xx

 

[dolly26]

Take the sickness as a good a thing u never know it could mean there is 2 in there lol. Hope it feel a bit better today xx

 

[lisey]

Yeah that's what I said to my OH but not so much cos I think it, more cos I love the reaction I get when I mention twins I haven't been sick again, just nausea again.
Have you had any headaches Dolly? I have started to get them, I know I can take paracetamol but trying to avoid it as don't want to take anything really xx

 

[dolly26]

I did get a couple in week 4&5 but they have gone now in week 6. I am the same I won't take any sort of pain killer. So have u a date for ur early scan yet? Xx

 

[lisey]

It is normal then? I get headaches before AF every month and am prone to 'hormonal headaches' according to GP so I guess its inevitable I would get them in pregnancy too.
Yep, my scan is the 5th of Jan, feels so far away xx

 

[dolly26]

I would say it's normal and especially if u get hormonal headaches coming up to af cause the hormones will be rising quite quickly.

I know the 5th feels like ages away I have felt that from last next I can't wait til weds til my second early scan wish it would just hurry up lol xx

 

[Dee28]

I get hormonal headaches a lot and when I was pregnant with nancy I had a constant bad headache for about 16 weeks! It was one of my first pregnancy symptoms xx

 

[lisey]

Dolly, not long til your second scan
Dee, that's good to know that it happened with you too, any hormonal changes and my head suffers, was the same on IVF drugs, esp when down regulating. I just feel paranoid about anything that happens around AF time happening now.

I am struggling today emotionally, I just feel like crying, I feel agitated and fed up. My main focus of emotion is at my OH, I just feel annoyed with him and I know its hormones. I feel like he is neglecting me, we haven't been anywhere together in ages but he has been going around to his friends house often. I don't mind him meeting his friend (his friend has been through very difficult time lately) at all, I think time away from eachother is a good thing and I am so far from a needy person usually, I am very independent and like my own company but I do feel a bit needy today. I just want to do something together, I am in almost all day everyday and I need a break but at the same time I have no energy and just want to go to bed...I think this is what you call an irrational pregnant woman!! I am not complaining about being pregnant or anything that goes with it, I just feel like I have PMT x 50!! xx

 

[Blueflower]

What about suggesting doing something together tomorrow? Just something easy for you. Have you invited any friends round for a cuppa and a chat too?

 

[lisey]

I think I will suggest something but need to wait to feel a bit more normal before I say anything as don't want hormones getting in the way. I haven't had any friends around, most of them work til late and my very best friend has just had a baby a couple of months ago and has 2 other young children so its hard to meet up. I could arrange something with one of my friends but she often brings along her OH and I am not in the mood for him, don't know how to say 'don't bring him' without it sounding rude xx

A massively delayed CONGRATULATIONS hon!! I am so pleased for you! What a wonderful Christmas pressie for you. Will miss you in this section!

I've brought my spray away with me and start on 30th... Eek xx

 

[lisey]

Thanks louielly I will still pop in here and will follow your journey. Not long til you start now, how are you feeling? Xxx

 

[louielly]

Swinging between nervous and excited really. Just read some of the other posts you wrote.... Twins would be fab xxx

 

[lisey]

I felt like that too, such mixed emotions. I would love twins, my OH will have a nervous breakdown lol xx

 

[louielly]

Lol. My hubby is an identical twin, so I think he would be ok either way. Only thing is though I'm tiny and both him and his brother were 8lb something each! They're now 6ft 5". Looking forward to hearing about your scan and how many bubba's you have on board xx

 

[Dee28]

If you're having twins I won't tell my hubby, he's freaked at the prospect without me giving him a real life example! X

 

[lisey]

Thanks Louielly, my son was over 9lb when he was born, as long as I don't have two of that size then I will be ok.
Dee, I was the same with my OH leading up to transfer, he wasn't sure about putting two back in but we agreed in the end that it would give us the best chance of at least one taking and I didn't want to risk freezing just one and it not making the thaw. The day I went for transfer I had my acupuncture appointment and she told me that its usually just one that takes but she did have a lady very recently that had a day 3 transfer (like I did) that was pregnant with twins, I didn't want to tell my OH about that when we came out. He would be happy of course but would be a bit shocked and probably try to get a pay rise lol xx

I keep debating if I should venture to Tri 1 now, I don't feel ready but I don't feel right updating this thread with symptoms and stuff, I really don't want to upset anyone xx
