My Pregnancy Truths: Pregnancy with Rowan
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/p/pregnancy-with-rowan.html
We found out that our IVF cycle was successful on July 31st, 2010, through the use of a home pregnancy test (oops. didn't wait until the blood test :P). Here are Rowan's ultrasound pictures:. First picture, the embryo that became Rowan after the transfer at 5 days. Embryo at 7 weeks. we saw and heard a heartbeat, this was amazing! 12 weeks - a teeny tiny, perfectly formed baby. 13 weeks on the 4D ultrasound, cord over the shoulder, pretty amazing stuff. 20 weeks. it's a BOY! 34 week growth scan. Was born...

May 30, 2014. Scrapbooking Infertility and/or IVF Journeys. Here's the thing about scrapbooking. most of it is about showcasing happiness and contentment. I've fallen victim to this too in the past - it's easier to put on your rose-tinted glasses and write/create about what makes life great. But what about the aspects of life that aren't so great?

My Pregnancy Truths: November 2013
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/2013_11_01_archive.html
November 23, 2013. So this happened today. It's been a long month in terms of additional testing and appointments, trying to get everything lined up in order for the FET (frozen embryo transfer) to take place. And now I wait. wait until December 4th for a blood test to find out whether or not we'll get an early Christmas present. ;). Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

My Pregnancy Truths: 7 Weeks... it's TWINS!
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/2014/07/7-weeks-its-twins.html
July 19, 2014. 7 Weeks. it's TWINS! Yesterday we discovered at our first ultrasound that there are in fact TWO babies on the way! On the trip home from the scan Matt and I started discussing the logistics of not being able to fit three child/baby seats across the back of our car and what that would most likely mean for our family (I don't like driving huge cars/4WDs), double prams, and will we ever get any sleep again after the babies are born? However, it's all so far away (and yet. it isn't! My due dat...

My Pregnancy Truths: September 2013
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
September 30, 2013. My Brain Has Turned into a Mush of Peppa Pig. I’ve been in Hobart, Tasmania for the past few days (and got home on Saturday) and though it was fun and. Had moments of relaxation, it was hard work too. Travelling with a toddler isn’t relaxing in the slightest and while we’ve persevered twice this year (Sydney in March and then Hobart), it isn’t something I’m keen to do again in a hurry. And when it does come time to write. what do I say? When did life as an adult become so complicated?

My Pregnancy Truths: Fertility and IVF
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/p/fertility-ivf.html
Growing up, I boldly told family and friends that I would one day be a single parent because I just didn’t think I would settle down. Did I fully understand an impact a statement like that would make? Probably not. However, situations changed as I sped through my teenage years and early twenties, and I found myself a newlywed a few months shy of my twenty-seventh birthday. I wasn’t alone and these symptoms had a name. Something real to grasp onto, at last! It did also force me to think more about having ...

My Pregnancy Truths: December 2013
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
December 30, 2013. Results of our FET #1. Negative. Not pregnant. I was upset at first (and heck, I still am) because I feel as though my body let me down. But then again, there's all the other stuff going on genetically with this embryo that embryologists can't pick up from their look at it prior to transfer into my uterus. Perhaps it didn't thaw right? Perhaps it wasn't genetically viable? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Results of our FET #1. 999 Reasons To Laugh at Infertility.

My Pregnancy Truths: April 2014
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
April 17, 2014. We signed the paperwork to begin FET#3 yesterday, after a break since January, when we unsuccessfully had FET#2 (a break well needed due to emotional reasons). Two frozen embryos remaining, fingers crossed that one of these is the sticky one. Anyway, I'm getting sidetracked (see, babies will do it to me every time! Explanation to not being able to fall pregnant this time (we haven't been preventing pregnancy since Rowan was 6 months old. and he is 3 now). If I have to go through another f...

My Pregnancy Truths: 8 Weeks Pregnant
http://mypregnancytruths.blogspot.com/2014/07/8-weeks-pregnant.html
July 27, 2014. This week I've had a head cold and forgotten how much being unwell while pregnant knocked me around (as well as caring for an extremely active 3 year-old! I've started to get my head more around the idea of becoming a twin parent. It's scary, really scary. I've had feelings of ungratefulness, of despair, of loss (of the pregnancy I thought I might have had), but also incredible awe at what my body is doing. 8 week twin bump.
