Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for December, 2011. On 13 December, 2011 by juniper76. We had our dating scan at lunchtime today. By O date I estimated we should be 7w1d. The scan went well overall. Bub was measuring 6w6d, which is close enough to make me happy. Heartbeat was 137 and the sonographer was able to let us hear it. We didn’t hear Amber’s heartbeat until 16wks, so was a great moment. Next stop, first OB appointment…. Why we ride the roller-coaster….

Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for August, 2013. On 23 August, 2013 by juniper76. I know, it has been over 12 months since my last post. I’m just not in a writing mood…. I’m not going to write a detailed post about the last 13 months, but will give you a brief summary. That was in August last year and I kind of floated in limbo for 6 months…. It was 5 February when I rang and I was told the next available appointment was 8 August! And speaking of our little miracl...

Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for May, 2012. On 12 May, 2012 by juniper76. It must be time for a happy post, right? Two years ago today, I had my fifth egg pick-up. Two years ago today, an anonymous embryologist in a lab created the best gift we have ever received. If I knew who that person was, I couldn’t possibly thank them enough. A tale of misery and woe…. On 11 May, 2012 by juniper76. I’ve got all 3 to get off my chest right now. I found, this year, the appr...

Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for March, 2012. On 15 March, 2012 by juniper76. I realised today I now hate TTC. I’ve spent 4 of the last 5 years TTC and I’ve had enough and I hate it. I’m sick of hurting. I’m sick of failing. I want to quit. I can’t, but I want to. Why we ride the roller-coaster…. After a long hard road, IVF#5 brought us the child we had been desperately seeking. It's hard to believe our beautiful daughter is already one! Heavy Heart, light purse!

Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for February, 2012. Results of chromosomal testing…. On 21 February, 2012 by juniper76. It has already been 6 weeks. It felt like an eternity and flashed past in the blink of an eye. A whole lot of nothing was done and a lot happened. But today was the day I had been desperate to reach, but dreading at the same time. Today was the day we saw the OB for our 6-week post-d&c appointment to find out the test results. I don’t really...

Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for January, 2012. On 25 January, 2012 by juniper76. Happy Birthday my sweet princess. We love you so much. Still on the stupid rollercoaster…. On 5 January, 2012 by juniper76. I thought maybe we’d have gotten off by now. After all, we’d managed to get a BFP nice and quickly and without medical assistance. No Of course not. We’re still on the stupid rollercoaster. D&C is booked for Monday. A bit of fun…. I hope everyone had a wonderf...

Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for December, 2013. Show’s over… nothing to see here…. On 10 December, 2013 by juniper76. Third beta was BFN. I’m kind of surprised I haven’t actually m/c yet. Last time it started before my hcg reached zero. I guess every m/c is different…. Not looking good…. On 6 December, 2013 by juniper76. Well, looks like this BFP may be short-lived…. Today’s beta (16dpo):. P4: 66 (20.8 in US units). DT: 74.7 hours. Well, that’s a surprise!

Infertility, pregnancy, parenthood: life is full of surprises…. Archive for July, 2012. First steps down a familiar road…. On 6 July, 2012 by juniper76. Seriously, is 2012 not over yet? I find it astonishing that we’re only half-way through the year. Picking up where I left off in May… In mid-May we had a small ceremony for DH’s Dad. It was a Tuesday and afterwards everyone met at the waterfront at Shorncliffe (at one of his favourite spots) for fish and chips. As I predicted (and dreaded), he believes t...
