Re: TTC Again **check in**

  • For our next child, I'm looking forward to a singleton experience. :)

    So much with the twins was, still is, about survival.  Just getting thru the day.  I'm really looking forward to some 1x1 time to marvel in the snuggleness of a newborn. 

    Me: PCOs DH: Perfect!
    4 Fresh IVF cycles + 1 FET where embies didn't survive the thaw = 2 perfect little men!

  • Update: 16dpo and still no af and temp is up...wtf? And i have power plenty to no avail. I just want to get this cycle started.

    QOTD: I'm looking forward to Graemes interactions with a baby he is such a gentry little guy and loves babies. I am nervous about nursing and having a toddler, hoping it worn't cut the nursing relationship short and G won't get too jealous.

  • Update - I got a great beta on Friday, and I had a repeat today.  But I'm going to hang out here for just a little while longer until I'm sure!  :)

    QOTD - I look forward to seeing Jacob with his brother/sister.  He loves babies so much that I think he's going to be a great big brother.  I also look forward to completing our family!

    But I have a lot of concerns - I know millions of women have had 2 (or more) children, but I worry about giving each the attention they need and still having a moment to myself.  Its only temporary, so I know I can get through it...but still I worry.

  • Can you please add me to this list.  We just started trying again this past week and I'm terrified.  Because we got pregnant on our own earlier this year, we will be trying on our own for a while.  Insurance requires us to not get pregnant on our own for at least a year before we can do IUIs and 2 years for IVF.  If we don't get pregnant on our own, I'm really hoping to find a loophole and get back to IVF sooner since we had originally planned to do it this fall.

    QOTD:  I would love to see my son with a sibling.  I think he would have so much fun!  I'm nervous about my ability to actually take care of two children.  I feel like I'm going nonstop taking care of my son so I can't imagine how to find the time to take care of another child, especially a newborn.

    It took 3 1/2 long years, but we finally got our little miracle!

    Unassisted Pregnancy #2 - lost at 15w6d due to T21, severe heart defects, and fetal hydrops

  • I am most looking forward to seeing Garrison interact with him or her.  I am least looking forward to the extreme sleep deprivation (and having to take care of two of them!).

     

    Update:  I am waiting to hear how my embies are doing-- had my ER Saturday and am still in pain and possibly have a UTI so I am feeling really discouraged but I am hoping I can have a 3dt and get those babies inside of me.

  • Update: One more week of BCP...woohooo

    QOTD: As other said; looking forward to seeing Ethan as a big brother. I'm also looking forward to the snuggly newborn phase again.

  • Update: I am still in my 2ww from the clomid cycle and waiting for AF to arrive (which she has not yet).  I am trying to resist the urge to POAS till Wednesday if still no spotting or AF.

    QOTD: Dito other posters about looking forward to Katie's interactions with a baby.  She is a really sweet gentle kid so I think she will be am amazing big sister : ) Only thing I am nervous about is not having a #2.

  • Update: I'm 5dpiui. 

    QOTD: I think Conor will be an amazing big brother.  He is so sweet and gentile with the babies at daycare, I can only imagine how sweet he'll be with a sibling.  He likes to hold the babies hands and stroke their hair when they are crying or getting a diaper changed.  Melt my heart! 

    I am nervous about having 2 and being able to give equil attention to both.  My husbands bro & his wife just had a DD last week - first cousin for Conor. :)  Conor was very jealous of me holding my niece.  Told me to "hold Conor with both hands."  It made me feel bad for paying attention to another child and made me wonder how he'd react to a sibling.

  • Update: AF arrived a day early, smack in the middle of a date night with DH.  Grrr...one more unmedicated cycle until we (hopefully) start with Clomid again.

    QOTD:  I grew up with three younger siblings, so my concept of "family" and how I envisioned mine growing up always involved more than one child.  While I'm sure it will be hard at first, I look forward to big family dinners, holiday traditions, game night, vacations, etc.  All the stuff that has been most fun with my family growing up.

  • Hi Ladies - Can I join? I'm starting Lupron tomorrow for my FET.

    QOTD: I am looking forward to having a tiny baby again and just seeing all the fun ways they change so quickly. I'm really nervous about this FET. So stressful. We are leaning towards just transfering 1 embie so our chances are less to get pg than if we transfer two but I just need to stay positive.

  • QOTD: I'm looking forward to being PG. I loved being PG. And I'm looking forward to nursing again. Maybe it is because Henry is getting so big, and it has been almost a year since we stopped, but I've been missing it lately. I can't wait to have another baby where I have a little experience under my belt. I'm hoping that I won't be a nervous nelly about everything again. I'm nervous about how well Henry will adjust to a sibling. I'm nervous about adjusting to the new workload. My DH travels a lot for work and it is so hard to care for an infant by yourself; throw in a toddler and I'm not sure I can handle it.

  • I cannot wait to be pregnant again, I think looking visibly pregnant but not huge yet is a great time, so maybe second trimester?  I am also excited for that BFP moment and that first u/s, seeing that image for the first time is amazing!  I am also sad that we can never have a surprise BFP, I have always thought that would be so much fun, tell DH, guess what?  Now it is guess what, time to sign consents again, lol.  I am just nervous about our FET working at this point, I think I would feel devastated, DH too, if it does not.
