Update Post.....Sensitive....Dating Scan......Photos Attached!!!

[Minibud]

Hi All

Juat wanted to update on my journey. After a nervous and anxious few weeks I had my dating scan for the twins yesterday (at nearly 14 weeks - as midwife was adamant her dates were right over the ivf clinic and I was closer to 12 so made it later than it should have been).

I am pleased to say both babies are doing well and measuring how they should. I'm hoping I can now relax a little and get excited, instead of being the complete and utter miserable cowbag I have been. I know it sounds wrong, especially as I have been lucky enough to get a BFP but I have never felt so low and fed up, as I have, since I got it and hope that makes sense to some of you. Think I've been scared more than anything, as I know it can be taken from you at any time. It's hard to explain that to people who have no experience of ivf and the path you have took to get where you are. My sister in law definity hasnt understood my journey as she asked yesterday if I was just going to tell people it was natural?!?! My response "why would I, I'm certainly not embarrassed we had ivf. It shows how much these babies are wanted". Her comment however has really hurt me.

Anyhow little rant over. I'm still amazed by this whole situation and even after seeing them again yesterday honestly can't believe it's happening to me. Never in a million years did I think I would experience this or become a mammy.

Please keep everything crossed that things continue to go well and thank you for the support. This group really is a lifeline when people have no where else to turn.

Love and baby dust to you all

Congratulations! Lovely pictures. My midwife was also adamant that her dates were right compared to IVF but then the sonographer at my dating scan said she wasn’t going to change the IVF date. I wasn’t very impressed with my midwife because of that 😂.

I hope you can start to relax a bit now. It’s hard with what we have been through and you will always worry but hopefully less as time goes on.

Good luck with the rest of the pregnancy xx

Wow these are amazing photos! Congratulations! 😍

Did you have 2 embryos transferred? They seem to be in separate sacs so I’m guessing so 😃 x

[Minibud in reply to WeeMrsH]

Yes WeeMrsH. We only had two that made it through to transfer day. Neither were fantastic grades so we decided to give both a chance. Never did I expect them both to be fighters xx

[WeeMrsH in reply to Minibud]

Wow! Now I’m scared lol. We are planning a double transfer on FET next week, using donor eggs. I am 36 and have fallen 3 times with IVF own eggs but always miscarry. It’s now got real that we could end up with twins 🙈

Congrats Minibud lovely photos!! I know the feeling all too well, I am currently 18 weeks with icsi twins and have been a total worry bag up till now. Finally getting confident enough to tell people even though its quite obvious now! I am really excited but also really nervous about my 20 week scan which is 2 weeks today. I'll hopefully feel a bit less nervous then. I hope everything goes smoothly for the rest of your pregnancy and you can start to enjoy it. Although my sister did say to me that you'll just be worried now for the next 18 years!! That's what comes with being a mum 😍 xxx

Congratulations Niki, beautiful scan pics! I'm really pleased that your twins are doing so well. Your sister in laws comment is totally shocking in my opinion! I'm certainly not ashamed of going through IVF. I'm proud of it actually. I hope your soon able to relax a bit & enjoy your pregnancy. I'm 8 weeks 2 days pregnant & saw a healthy baby during my scan on Monday... I'm still worried sick most days because as you say it can be snatched away at anytime. Sending you so many good wishes for the rest of the pregnancy xx
