update from whenever to here 19wks+3days

I never ever update anymore which is sad but I'm always either tired, in pain or stressed out or just plain distracted. I'm huge now I'd attach photo's but I haven't a cable to connect my camera to my laptop anymore.
There are lots of things stressing me now adjusting to the irish healthcare.
I pray that my babies grow strong andd stay in there in my womb until May.
If this pregnancy improves physically I will start updating again properly.

7wks2days

So Today I'm 7wks2days each day is like a rollercoaster I'm up and down each day.
The main drama now is my morning sickness which was nausea every day until yesterday que terror and fear and panic.
It came back in waves later in the day.
And today its still nothing like it was last week. I don't know i'm hoping and praying its normal.
I honestly thought I Wouldn't get sickness at all but then it started at 6wks1day.
It could be easing up becauase I Changed my diet and reduced my acidic food intake just so I could eat.
I've had two ultrasounds one at 5wks4days which showed twins and one at 6wks4days which showed twins with heartbeats.
Tomorrow its time to go again . Couldnt be more nervous hope both of my babies are doing ok.

The fear involved with Pregnancy especially after infertility

So here I am today I'm Five weeks Pregnant.

This time last week I found out the wonderful news which has changed our lives.
So first beta was 10dp5dt =419
Second beta was 14dp5dt =1881

But the happiness brings with it a bucketload of fears.
It took us 4 years to get here Four years of very active trying.
3 years of medical assistance.
Surgery ,5 iui's ,1 failed ivf and now finally this Second ivf sent us broke but brought us the ultimate joy.

Just waiting to 12 weeks to announce it to the world Although so much family know already.
But for now its baby steps every day every week is on achievement.
First Ultrasound at 5wks4days on September 30th.
I keep telling myself do not build yourself up to see the hearbeat its probably too early.
But I'm just so hoping :-)

I'm tired,dizzy,on/off cramps,bloated and oh so hungry.
And a new found sense of smell. Some headaches and random blocked nostril.
Need to pee once a night usually.
Cravings Salty, pickles ,tomato juice ,tomato and cheese everything.

If you read this please Pray for us and our babies I Really love them so much and feel so blessed to be pregnant. And I pray they will make it safely to full term.

3 on board this time

So we have 3 embryo's on board
two since wednesday and 1 since yesterday friday and what a journey to get the third on board.
First of all we left with on hour and 10 minutes to allow for friday rush hour traffic.
Once we got on the main road we knew something was wrong but we thought it was something like bearings or something worse.
Less than half way there I said stop and check this isn't right. We had a puncture on a back tyre.
Luckily I knew a nearby garage.
Yes me You heard Me right not my Husband, Me.
I'd seen it a million times in passing but he didn't even know it was there.
We only had 45mins or less to go.
Once we took it off they were laughing loudly and pulled a five inch piece of metal out of the tyre.
Can you believe the luck of this that this went down on the way to our embryo transfer.
Well I guess our luck was in coz the tyre was repairable and relatively quickly
But now for the next drama I needed to pee and I mean painful like I need a full bladder for the transfer but I'd gone into overfill.
But unfortunately the Garage toilet would have been impossible to use it was just crazy dirty.
So we slowly made our way accross on entire shopping centre.
Me like a penguin with my overfull bladder and triple there normal size ovaries
Anyways got there and what ya think A Queue .
Anyways we got there a min late.
We're always early but anyways in the end we had to wait an extra 25mins but it all went well.
These two transfers this Ivf cycle have been the best transfers ever no pain maybe just a pinch what a difference a different doctor makes.
Now we wait
ech I hate waiting especially since I'm supposed to be calm and relax.
I need more distraction.
Anyways final note to self .
We froze 3 on day 2
there was 11 good ones -3 = 8 left
We put back the two best on day 3
one 10 cell and one 8 cell .
Super powered embryos couldn't be better.
then there was 6 but one was weak .
So there was 5
all of these were put in the special liquid for growing to blast out of 5,
3 made it to blast two fantastic ones and one average.
But we couldn't put back more than 1 blast now as it would be too high a risk for high order multiples.

one hurdle crossed a few more obstacles

So I'm going to go ahead with egg retrieval on Sunday just about scraped through to being allowed.
Very mixed feelings about this I don't want to end up in hospital over this but thats the problem I really am at a higher risk of that now :(
I don't know all I can do is hope I can overcome it without too much difficulty.
Theres a huge fear now about the nex 7-10days I could hyperstimulate at any time.
eekk always with the oposites from low blood levels last cycle to uber high blood levels this time round
I can't ever just be in the middle sigh.
