Can I just say how nervous I really am about this pregnancy? I am truly excited beyond belief and am much relieved for our IVF to have worked. But how many blogs and posts have we all read about the pregnancy that ended suddenly?
I have an online friend in a buddy group on FF who did IVF, got pregnant with nice strong numbers, but lost the baby ~ 9 weeks or so. I can't help but think about her and her heartbreaking situation a lot, but of course, I'd never want her to know how much it bothers me. I had been considering giving up acupuncture at this point, but perhaps I'll hang on a little while longer. I do feel more relaxed after it, and that can only be a good thing.
I am hoping my ultrasound next week (Thursday) will provide some reassurance.

About Me
- kaaron
- Houston, Texas, United States
- My DH and I have been ttc #1 for over two years now. We found that we were dealing with Male Factor Infertility. He had bilateral varicoceles, ejaculatory duct obstruction, and low testosterone. He had surgery to repair the BV and EDO and now takes Arimidex to help with his testosterone. I had an HSG that revealed clear tubes and a arcuate uterus. We did 2 IUIs with Clomid and trigger that didn't work. We also did some CD3 bloodwork that revealed a slightly elevated FSH of 10.6. Everything else was normal. After a month of being drug free, we are beginning the process of IVF. Update: Got our bfp and we are expecting a boy on 11/13/08!

I think your feelings are very natural. After all it's taken to get to this point, it's understandable that you would be looking for the other shoe to drop. I am hoping that ultrasound really helps to bring you a measure of reassurance.
(((Hugs, hun))) I hope your u/s brings you the reassurance you need and you are able to enjoy things soon.
I can't tell you how many times I hear people who have gone through fertility treatments to get pregnant say that once they get pregnant they feel this exact same way, especially IVF patients. We've been programed to expect disappointment and that doesn't go away just because you're pregnant I hear. I know that if this works for us I'll be a basket case obsessing over every twinge, every day wondering how things are going. I hope your ultrasound brings you peace of mind..I'll definately be thinking of you until then.
hugs
Hopefully you can find some things to take your mind off things until the ultrasound. How about a pedicure or some type of fun spa service.
How could you be anything but? Looking forward to hearing good news after your appt next week!
I think I know how you feel, K. We know there are no guarantees - though the odds are in our favor, right? And we already beat the IVF odds. Doing what relaxes you sounds good, and I am sure your u/s will bring you some more peace of mind. And we should have lunch again!
Good luck at your u/s tomorrow!!
