Questions for those of you that have had 2 pregnancies

When I first found out I was pregnant with Jadyn I had all of the typical AF signs. I was cramping, breast tenderness, freezing to death and starving. Well,, the starving thing wasnt typical but I soon figured out why I was so hungry....lol So anyway, I had a c-section with Jadyn. Since then I experience no cramping or breast tenderness around that time of the month. The most I ever get is a small back ache. So the question is....... Did any of you out there have cramping in your first pregnancy but not the others? I sit around waiting for the same symptoms and I'm not even sure if they would happen.....lol

I mean personally and in all honesty I don't think my IVF worked. I didn't exactly have the best embryo's put back in. I could get the shock of a lifetime though I suppose.....

The remaining embryo's.......

Didn't make it to freeze. I knew that was going to happen but I was just hoping that just maybe a small miracle might happen so I wouldn't have to do retrieval again if I ever want more. However, I do know if this takes this time around we are DONE! I just can't do this fertility crap anymore. I'm not even sure yet what we are going to do if this IVF round doesn't take. I don't have any more insurance $$$ to cover another round. Maybe we will just be happy with what we have already :-) Sometimes I do wonder if I am crazy for wanting to do the infant stage again....lol I guess time will tell..................................

FINALLY

My guts feel like they are going back to normal. I can actually walk around with little to no pain. Who would of thought one little needle in the ovaries would make you hurt so much?? Perhaps now that I am not in so much discomfort my body can think about implanting an embryo or 2???..... :-) What if all 3 implant?? OMG..... I will definately be looking for volunteers...haha!! My RE did tell me if it resulted in triplets he would babysit..... Maybe he shouldn't be so sure of himself.....lol
I didn't get a report yesterday on my remaining embryo's. They must still be kicking it up. Let's hope they hit a growth spurt and want to be frozen :-) Wishful thinking, I know! We all have to dream at some point in our lives :-)

Still sore.....

I am still a little sore today. It is MUCH better than Thursday and Friday though. I can actually walk ALMOST normal now. I don't look like a grandma walking around....lol My poor ovaries were traumatized....lol Tomorrow ia transfer!! I can't wait to hear how well or unwell my embryo's are! Hopefully I am almost pain free by tomorrow for transfer :-)

Fertilization Report

I have SEXTUPLETS!!!.........lol Out of the 19 retrieved, 8 of them were mature and 6fertilized. Now, let's just hope and pray and hope and pray that they make it until Sunday!! My Transfer is at 10:00. I wonder how many are boys or girls??....lol Perhaps maybe we will even be lucky enough to put two in freeze??? Please please please.

Ugh!!

I am quite sore today. It actually started last night when I felt like I birthed a basketball out of my back side. Why the heck would my bum hurt? I didn't have a colonoscopy....lol I took some tylenol and it made me feel a little better :-) I am just tender today. My insides hurt when I walk. I did my first shot of PIO ( progesterone in oil) in my hiney cheek this morning. It wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it would be. I will continue these until the beta test. If that comes out positive I will do these for 8 more weeks. Oh the joy!! I started Medrol lastnight too. I guess that is so my body won't reject the embryo's when they put them back. Also this morning I started the Tetracycline to stop any infection that might start. So, right now I am taking:
Metformin
Vitamin
Baby Aspirin
Tetracycline
Medrol
PIO
Just call me the walking drug store.....lmao
Will update later when I get my embryo report.

Ovidrel

Lastnight I took my trigger at 9:30. I have to be at the Dr. at 8:00 for Egg retrieval. I am quite nervous. I don't know if I hate the thoughts of the needle going in there or the sedation part more......... I really don't think I like the thoughts of either.

Retrieval date moved

Ok, the Dr. wants to do one more day of injections. Retrieval day is now Friday :-)

Injections and Menopur

Injections and Menopur start tomorrow night. Let's hope we can get lots of GOOD eggies. Not to many though. I don't think I want my cycle to be cancelled again. I will probably have to choke someone. I only have enough meds and money for this shot. If it doesn't work we will either stop trying or we will have to wait until we are rich....lol I guess that is a decision we will have to make later........ Hopefully it will work and we wont have any decisions to make :-) I had my baseline U/S on Tuesday and all was well.
Jadyn has been doing my Lupron shots for me...... She rubs the alcohol pad on my belly for me. I stick the needle in and she pushes down the plunger. It is so cute. She is so proud of herself every time she does it. The first few times she hugeed me after the shot. I guess she thinks it hurts. When you are as chubby as me you just don't feel it....haha!!!
On another note. My Grandpa is home from the hospital. He fell and broke his hip and had to be in rehab for a few weeks. He, of course, health wise got worse. His breathing is poor. My mom is now helping him eat. If she sets the food on his stand he sits there and looks at it. I hate seeing him like that. That's just not him. I still remember just THREE years ago ( well, almost 3 years ago) he was driving up to my mom's house to see Jadyn after she was born. He so looked forward to her birth. He said " That gives me something to look forward to" after he found out he had cancer in his lungs. I really do believe it did help him in the fight. He did Defeat the lung cancer for a few years. Now his body is failing though. It's sad but I know we can't live forever. I just hope he doesn't have to be like this for a long time. I will surely miss him.
