Hi, |

Hi, |

Thanks ladies for all of your input. I had cramping the first few days following the transfer, but I also had constipation from that horrible progesterone.....so i am hoping that the cramping was implantation related and not constipation??? Ever since then, I have not had cramping, but another type of feeling i get when my period is about to come. Its hard to describe...kind of like a pressure feeling down below...achy ovaries and an achy sensation in my leg occassionally. Is there anyone out there that knows what I am talking about? well, i have3 more days until thursday....the wait is really torture. As much as I want to go out and to the home pregnancy test, i think that it will only cause me more stress and disappointment cause either way, the response could be inaccurate. I have chosen to torture myself instead til Thursday..... |

hopeful DC, I too had feelings that I would get my period at any second and here I am carrying twins. Not only did I feel that way during the 2ww but I felt that way for a few months which was very scary, especially since I had 3 weeks of bleeding in the 1st trimester. I just hope that you get the results you are hoping for! |

Thanks soo much Karen for your kind words and baby dust. This has been the hard process I have ever had to go through in my life. I have had 2 surgeries, tons of blood draws and injections....who would have guessed that about 8 months ago I was totally terrified of needles. This process sure did cure my phobia. I have not had any bleeding though. I am interested to know more about the type of experience you had Karen. You felt the symptoms I described in my earlier email along with actual bleeding or did the bleeding happen after your BFP? Did you have breast tenderness? I have not had any and this concerns me a lot. Thanks for sharing. |

Hopeful DC, I did not have any bleeding when I felt all the mentrual cramp type feeling. The bleeding came much later. I went to a high risk doctor a couple of weeks ago (at 21 weeks pregnant and I am now 23 weeks) and he said I have full placenta previa which may have been the cause of the bleeding late in my first trimester. It was the first time I had some kind of explanation. As you can imagine, it was the most horrible experience ever as I felt sure I lost my babies when the bleeding started. But as far as the 2ww and 2 months or so after that, I consistently felt as if AF was coming at any second and it never did. I had breast tenderness from all the injections before I even had the ET so I couldn't count it as a symptom of being pregnant. |

You guys are really great. I have never done anything like this. Getting your messages has become the highlight of my day. It helps to ease you drama just a little to know that there are other people going through the same struggle. I am praying that one day all women will have access to this type of treatment and that insurance companies cover this expense. Though the treatment can not guarantee a successful pregnancy 100% of the time, may other treatments can not live up to that standard as well. Having a family is one of the main purposes of life! |

Karen 123 -- wow placeta previa.. what did the doc say.. will you be ok (I don't know anything about it.. will go read up on it though!) |
||
|
||
|
what does AF mean??? Is there a listing of all the acronyms that people use or are we just suppossed to use our common sense? I get most of them, but I have not been able to figure this one out???? |
||
|
||

Sorry.. AF is "Aunt Flo".. I was just looking for it.. but I swear awhile ago there was a list of all the anacronyms... I can't find it on the forums.. so the best you can do is ask if there is one you don't understand.. hope that hekps! |

Baby4us, Placenta previa more often than not corrects itself by the 3rd trimester as far as I can tell from my research. It's scary stuff since they talk of hemorraging and other serious problems but for now, I am just trying not to worry about it too much. I feel that if it's still an issue at my 12/21 u/s appt then I'll just follow the doctor's orders and all will be ok. The beauty of all the technology is that stuff like that is found early and monitored. I've read that if it lasts I may end up on bedrest or even hospital bedrest. I've also read that a C-section must be performed which is what I'm having anyway since both my daughters broke my tailbone on the way out and with twins my OB says it's safer for them. So, I'll take it as it comes. Yes, I'm nervous but again, I'll do anything I'm instructed to do and I just know this was all meant to be after all I've been through so I truly believe all will be ok in the end. Karen |
