Hayden update- Don't get Too Excited...

I am 40w6d today.... And we met with the midwife today. Still only
dilated 1 cm but cervix is soft... We had decided this morning we were NEEDED to get the baby out, but after talking with the mw I think we are ready to be a little bit more patient. There is no medical reason for an induction, so we are going to continue to be patient...

I did, however, have my membranes stripped. Wowza.... That was intense. Hopefully that gets something started. The MW was very kind and respectful of my feelings and told us to try and have the baby this weekend because she thinks we are very special and she would love to be part of our birth. (She is on at the hospital this weekend...)

So all in all... We are still hanging on as best we can. Please send us some prayers/vibes/thoughts/wishes if you have a minute. Can't wait to give everyone bigger news!

    Oh man! Hayden is trying to really make a grand entrance for you guys, it seems! Hopefully the membrane sweep will get the party started (and I know what you mean about wowza -- seriously!!!). I really hope for the sake of all involved that this little sweetie decides to enter the world this weekend. I will be sending you and @firstcomeslove2013 (oh, and little Hayden too of course!) as much positive energy as possible! Thinking of all of you -- big hugs!

    I know this is hard and you are more than ready to meet your child. I'm glad your MW was able to give you some reassuring words today. I hope the membrane sweep is effective and will encourage Hayden to start her journey into this world very, very soon! Thinking about you all!

    Sending a million good thoughts your way. 
    ****loss discussed*****

    We're queer. I'm 33, have severe stage 4 endo, and had both fallopian tubes removed. My love ("Manada" on the boards, 32) was diagnosed with diminished ovarian reserve. We did Partner IVF (my eggs, her uterus). We lost our twins Tavin and Casey at 21 weeks gestation.

    Our IUIs
    with @Manada: IUI# 1-7 (December 2012- September 2013) all BFN. Tried natural, femara, clomid, puregon/follistim, clomid and menopur combo, both the ovidrel and HCG triggers.

    Our IVFs:
    IVF #1 my eggs November/December 2013: Cancelled IVF due to poor response

    IVF #2 my eggs/Manada's uterus January/February 2014
    BCPs and lupron overlap Stimmed: 1/22-2/2: Bravelle and Menopur (dosage ranged from B300 and M150 to B375 and M150 to B300 and M225)
    2/4 retrieved 10 eggs. Endo was much worse than expected. Only 3 eggs fertilized; February 7 transferred two day 3 embryos, froze one. All great condition.
    BFP eve of 6dp3dt; Beta 1 (11dp3dt): 110; Beta 2 (13dp3dt): 175; Beta 3 (15dp3dt): 348; Beta 4 (19dp3dt): 2222; Beta 5 (21dp3dt): 4255
    1st ultrasound (3/6  6w 1d): TWINS!!!! Twin A measuring 6w1d with a heartbeat of 118bpm. Twin B measuring 6w0d with a heartbeat of 113bpm. 

    ***July 18, 2014 we lost our beautiful babies at 21 weeks gestation. They were born too early. Tavin Sara T. and Casey Elizabeth T. are beautiful and precious and we will love them and miss them forever.***

    FET #1 December 2014
    Intralipid infusion on Dec 10. Transfer of 1 day 3 nine-cell embryo into my uterus on Dec. 19. (acupuncture immediately before and after)
    BFP on Dec. 27; Beta 1 Jan 2 (14dp3dt): 665, Beta 2 Jan 4 (16dp3dt): 1859, Beta 3 Jan 6 (18dp3dt): 4449, Beta 4 Jan 10 (22dp3dt): 12,251.

    You are so close! You can do this! I feel for @firstcomeslove2013‌ too. I remember wondering if this would be my last pump session before getting to breast feed for real. I was so over pumping by that point.
    You're so close to the finish line!!

    My son was born the Saturday before Christmas (12/22) but was due on 12/26 and the last 5 or 6 months of my pregnancy, my doctor kept telling me that it would be a-okay for him to come the weekend before Christmas because she was the doctor on call and that way she could deliver him. I did so much walking the day before he was born that it was insane!

    Good luck!
