IVF # 1 BFN | # 2 cancelled | # 3 no eggs | # 4 cancelled but conceived naturally. #miraclebaby born Oct 21. Now POI / early menopause, so starting #deivf
A truly bittersweet one this year - my second as a mum to my perfect little miracle but the first without my own mum. For all those struggling today, for whatever reason, be kind to yourselves and I hope all the wannabe mummies get their turn next year xxx
@loopylou1000 Yay - itβs the big day that you finally get to meet your little one!! Super excited for you - best of luck for a nice, calm and relaxed arrival - enjoy every second xxx
@loopylou1000 Youβve had such an incredibly tough time, youβre so strong for keeping going - your reward is just around the corner now! Iβm so excited for you β€οΈβ€οΈ
@loopylou1000 They gave me dihydrocodeine immediately after then it was just alternating paracetamol and ibuprofen every 2 hrs. I asked if they could give me some dihydrocodeine to take home just in case. Glad I did as ended up needing them (but probably only because mine got infected).
@loopylou1000@InfertilityWars Sorry to jump in but if Iβm totally honest I donβt even remember the spinal - I only remember thinking to myself βstay very still!β π So clearly wasnβt that bad at allβ¦ x
@loopylou1000 My top tips post op - 1. take the pain relief even if you think youβre ok without, I felt fine until I got home less than 24 hours post op and the spinal properly wore off. 2. - get one of those litter picker grabbers, it was my godsend for picking things up off the floor!
@loopylou1000 Ours was an emergency so all a bit of a rush but just before I had (half) joked to hubby that I wish I was having a c-section as my contractions were so painful so at least you wonβt have to endure that! I think a planned section will be a lovely, calm experience though
@loopylou1000 My little girl has been around 10th percentile since she was a couple of months old and is thriving - sheβs just skinny like her daddy π€·ββοΈ
@loopylou1000 Mathematically someone has to be in the lower percentiles so if the sonographer was happy then I wouldnβt worry about being on the lower end (better that than higher end - you have to give birth to this baby! π³) There is a spurious degree of accuracy with the measurements anyway
@loopylou1000 We bought a few things new like our travel system, a wooden walker (that I really liked and couldnβt find second hand) and new mattresses and bedding. To me itβs not about the money (although I am an accountant!) itβs more the waste. But you have to treat yourself a little too x
@acaciabluebell I had my third failed round of IVF in Dec 2020, was gutted but enjoyed some time out until the new year and ended up being pregnant by the end of Jan 2021. New year, whole new chapter. xx
@acaciabluebell It sucks but take the time to enjoy Christmas and some downtime from IVF - I know it doesnβt feel like it but the break could do you good and hopefully you can go into the transfer feeling a bit more relaxed which will do you the world of good.
