10 Weeks:

Thursday I was 10 weeks and I suddenly realized that meant 25% through my pregnancy.  Wow!  That was a bit of a shock…  But a good, happy shock if you know what I mean. It seems like my symptoms are getting a bit better – I’m not nauseous every day anymore and I think I’m [...]

My follow up appointment:

The day of our appointment has finally arrived exactly one month after my evacuation D & C.   The FS said that our little baby had Trisomy 13 or Patau syndrome and that is where the foetus had an additional third chromosome 13 and that is caused by nondisjunction of chromosomes during myosis.  In layman’s terms [...]

Warning: Not a very nice post…

What I’m going to say in this post is very hard to say.  I’m being honest here about stuff that I sometimes don’t even want to admit to myself, let alone all of you reading this, but I feel I need to get it out there so that you can get a better picture of [...]

Some revelations:

Last night in bed I was thinking that I’m supposed to be 12 weeks now, but I’m not because we’ve lost our baby.  Then I thought that the sister at the hospital said that 2 samples were sent away for genetic testing and I remembered that originally my pregnancy started out as a twin pregnancy… [...]

One day later…

So how am I feeling today?   Well, I started the day by phoning the sister at the clinic this morning to ask a few questions, and I burst out in tears again.  She is such a sweetheart, both of them are, and I must say in times like these that’s when you really appreciate it.  [...]

Do not give up hope:

I’ve mentioned this before, but I feel so strongly about it that I need to write about it again.  I basically felt that it was almost impossible for me to ever get pregnant.  I just went through all the treatments of the past year, just so that I could say:  “At least we tried.”  I [...]

National infertility awareness week has just finished (NIAW 24 April  – 1 May 2010)  and Mel  from Stirrup Queens had this project IF for NIAW.  It has closed now but today I though what if we gave up on our dream and stopped infertility treatments? We were so incredibly close to giving up.  DH and [...]

It’s IComLeavWe:

This is the first time I’m participating in IComLeavWe, as my blog is not even a month old yet.  Welcome to all visiting!  We are currently in the 2WW after our 3rd fresh IVF.  We have been trying for more than 10 years and I haven’t had a BFP ever!  I’m hoping that I’ll get [...]

Embryo transfer:

Our embryos are safely back in mommy.  The doctor replaced 4 embryos – I thought 1 didn’t make it, but apparently it was slow and they thought it would not survive but it did.  So of the four we have 2 grade 1 embryos and 2 grade 2 embryos, but the slow one is not [...]

4 Embryos:

The sister phoned me from the clinic, and 4 fertilized, just as I thought.  I’m happy about it.  I was not planning to freeze any, because my previous ones defrosted so badly.  So 4 are more than enough.  ET is still on for Saturday and I’ll be getting my second Intra.lipid drip then.  I started [...]
