Morning ... KATT, you're right about breastfeeding ... it does help to get the uterus back to normal, but apparently they don't recommend losing weight too quickly, they like to see about a pound a week, that way it keep the toxins released from the fat in low amounts in your blood ... it took me 18 months to lose 40 pounds after DD was born, but at least I was able to get back to pre-pregnancy weight ... this time will be easier because I have only gained about 20 so far. CHRISTINE, we are due right around the same time ... I am 29 weeks ... and our babies are in the same boat ... DH and I are only children, so the closest aunt and uncle the kids have are my step brother and sister ... but of course Isabella calls our close friends auntie and uncle. ROBYN, glad to hear you and kitty are doing better. CMEL, I will be thinking about you this morning. I will be leaving tomorrow morning to visit my parents over this weekend, it's Canadian Thanksgiving, so we're making a 4 day trip out of it ... if I don't post while I'm there, I will when we get back. Well, hi to everyone else, and love and hugs.

Hi ladies. How is everyonr today? Rhonda- Yes this will be my 1st and my parents 1st grandchild too, so its pretty exciting. Katt- Its actually just me and my brother in my family but Ive played softball my whole life, no Im not exagerating, with the same group of ladies and after all that time together they have become my adoptive sisters. My brothers best friend is also an adoptive brother to me. So yes it was like I always had a big family and I wouldnt trade it for anything. I wish you the best of luck with quitting smoking. Well my day is packed today. 10 conferences scheduled and I will be at school until 7pm tonight. It kinda sucks because this is dh day off and I wont be able to see him for very long. Well anyways I hope the best to you all and hi to anyone I missed. Have a wonderful day.

Good morning ladies,pooh bear i bet your parents are thrilled about getting there first grandbaby.Do you know what you are having?Kelley have a safe trip to your parents and we will miss you while you are away.I have a dr app. today and it sucks because im afraid! im afraid because so far in this pregnancy i have not gained any weight.Well maybe two pounds but then i lost it.Im not losing weight just aint gaining any.My dr dont seem worried about it.Im 18 wks and im showing,you can tell im pregnant,so i dont understand why im not gaining weight.I will try to post after my dr app. and let you know if i have gained even a pin drop of a pound.hugs to all of you.

Hi just wanted to pop in and say hi! Melissa, I hope your er went well. Can't wait to hear. I hope it's a quick recovery.

 

cmelissa - October 5

Hey Ladies - well the ER went well - dont remember a thing which is great! Of course the nurse missed the vein while trying to put the IV in so i had to get pricked twice - that was the only bad part. Dh told me they retrieved a total of 14 eggs -i think 7 were mature and the good ones so thats good. I find out tomorrow how many fertilized - hopefully a few! We go back in tomorrow so they can teach dh how to give me the pio shots. I also have to continue taking baby aspirin, pre-natals, doxycycline and this other drug. Lots of stuff. I have to go in with a full bladder for the ET and i also get to take a valium. I'm having some mild cramping but nothing i cant handle!! I took a nice long nap when i got home - still sleepy so just laying around the house. Well now i just pray those eggs fertilize so i have some to implant!!! Keep your fingers crossed!! Thanks you guys for all the well wishes!!

Hey Ladies, well i had another appt today and took my 1st PIO shot(dh did a great job) - it actually didnt hurt as bad as i had imagined but i know its going to get really sore after awhile! Anyways it appears they had retrieved 7 - 6 ended up being mature and 5 fertilized on their own so that was a relief for me!!! I guess they rate the embryos so I have 3 really good ones and then 2 others as back runners! I will get another update tomorrow on the progress! Hope they are growing normally! My tummy is so bloated today and i'm really gassy - I also had to pee like 5 times during the night - so annoying!! So my ET is Tuesday at 11:30!! I pray they implant!!! Thanks again you guys for thinking of me!! You all are the best!! Have a great day!!

ROBYN - October 6

Hey girls checking in. MELISSA I was just over on the IVF thread asking you to explain everything I should have come here first. I am glad all went well. I am so excited for you. I am on my last day of Prometrium so AF should be here in a few days. I am getting nervous I will have to go to the RE in a few days on CD1 for an U/S and B/W. I cant believe how many meds youre on and I am sure I will be doing as much as you also. SWEET SOUTHERN - cant believe your son is a month old already. They are so cute when they are trying to learn new things. Enjoy every minute of it my son is 8 already but trust me its a lot easier now than when he was a newborn. We miss you stop by soon when you can. Anyway will check in later just had a minute to say hi Luv to all of you.

good evening everybody ~ I'm getting ready to go on a girls night here with some of the ladies from my neighborhood. I think were having Mexican...I'll have to pack my tums. I'll check in more tomorrow, but I thought I'd check in real quick and say a quick congrats to Melissa on the fertilized egg - YEAH! Rest up this weekend if you can. Just think of the peeing all night as preparation for your pregnancy...I get up at least 3 times a night now :) Well have a great evening everybody and I'll check in tomorrow. oh yeah..Jess its great to hear everything is going well with you and your little man. I'll check in with everybody else soon.
