Intro/IVF

Hi everyone! I usually don't post on discussion boards as I am a fairly private person, but I thought it would be nice to reach out and have discussions with other ladies in the same position as myself. My fiance and I are both 27 and we were TTC and then I found out my tubes were blocked. Long story short, I had both of my tubes removed and we have started the process of IVF. Needless to say, IVF has been a journey all by itself lol! Some days I have to laugh to keep from crying. So we've had our ER and 26 eggs were retrieved and we froze 13 embryos. I have my FET on June 8th. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. My fiance and I discussed transferring 2 emryos with the doctor and that was actually what the doctor suggested. Im so nervous and scared about having a twin pregnancy. There are tons of risks as well as a higher chance of miscarriage. I've never been pregnant before so I don't know what to expect. Please give me some advice or information to ease my mind about my transfer. I look forward to chatting with you all!
Re: Intro/IVF
We did ivf last October where they implanted two embryos after telling us that both may take since they were such high quality. Well, we had one embryo implant and split into twins but didn't split correctly so I miscarried. The week or so we knew we had twins growing, I was completely petrified! Two babies, two cribs, two feedings, two of everything! I was pretty worried about anything and everything! And then we got the news the heartbeats had stopped and we were completely devestated.
Afterwards I felt so guilty. I knew my worries and negative thoughts didn't affect the pregnancy but I still had self blame.
It took months for my body to reset and I had to have surgery to remove remnants and polyps.
In April, we did our first fet with two embryos and were told the likelihood one would attach and split again was fairly low. They were also not as worried about both embryos implanting. Well fast forward and I am currently 9w2d pregnant with what they believe are babies from each embryo.
This time around, I am SO excited to have two! This whole process is exhausting and draining mentally, physically, financially, so any healthy baby is welcome to shoot out in 7 months, the more the merrier!
I think you should just take it one step at a time. Twins could be a great blessing in disguise for you!
Good luck, Fx for you!
I was always still sore and felling icky the day after. I loved that after the fet I was able to just relax for a few days after. I also had movie marathons and netflix seasons ready to go to keep my mind off the dreaded 2ww.
Keep us posted!
