Can’t believe I’m writing this but we made it to 20 weeks!

So many of you have been an incredible support to me and I just wanted to update you all on our little shrimp... who is a little girl!💕 She looks perfect in every way and I’m still pinching myself that we’ve made it this far.

To all the ladies who have been told they have a low AMH, who’s hubbies have been told they have crappy motility, to those that have lost and who think they can’t face another round. Don’t lose hope, you are all stronger than you know. 4 fresh cycles, 7 embryos later and we’ve finally got one to stick ♥️ xxx

Congratulations, beautiful scan. I also had my 20 week scan this morning, I was so nervous as usual but all is good too. I didn't find out but am convinced it's a boy. This was our 5th transfer and 8th embryo so like you just cannot believe after losing 2 one has finally stuck.

Lots of luck to you, hope the next 20 weeks goes smoothly for you xx

KiboXX in reply toJm82

Congratulations to you too! I was actually convinced she was a boy as well 😂 was quite shocked when they said girl!

Definitely feel a lot less anxious now, hope you are managing to enjoy this time as well ♥️ xx

Can I ask did you do anything different this time? We got a better response when we switched from long to short too xx

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply toWeeJacs

This was my first short protocol round, different stims (previously was on gonal f, this time I was on Bemfola and menopur) and also we changed clinics. Aside from the change in drugs, I think our new clinic had a better lab and embryologist which made a big difference xx

WeeJacs profile image
WeeJacs in reply toKiboXX

We changed clinics too and managed to get 3 to freeze also, tho 1 crashed and burned in the thaw so only 1 3AC left which I’m into really not confident about xx

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply toWeeJacs

Oh I’m sorry to hear that. Try not to focus on the grading, my new clinic doesn’t actually tell you the grades of the embryos, just that’s it’s good! Not perfect embryos make perfect babies all the time so wishing you lots of luck for that little 3AC xx

Woo! In 19 weeks tomorrow and feeling him roll about is amazing! Anatomy scan in the 27th 💕

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply tobms12

Awww how exciting! I haven’t really felt anything yet but I’ve got an anterior placenta so she said that’s normal! Hoping it happens soon though 😊 xx

bms12 profile image
bms12 in reply toKiboXX

Yeah mines anterior but to the right a bit so I feel him on the left Haha. But this is my second pregnancy to make it this far (actually lost my son at the same gestation I am today - but was a difficult pregnancy from the start)

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply tobms12

Mines front and low apparently! Got to have a rescan at 36 weeks but she said I might start getting movement on the sides soon 🙏🏻

I hope getting to tomorrow brings you a bit of peace of mind, I know it must be difficult xxx

bms12 profile image
bms12 in reply toKiboXX

Thanks, I'm feeling pretty positive. Due to losing him I have growth scans from 28 weeks which will hopefully help ease my mind.

Theres still plenty of time for the placenta to rise, not sure whether mines low or not - they wont say until my scan next week but I didnt feel any movement my last pregnancy this baby has been rolling away at regular times each day for the past 4 days haha. Like he started and didnt stop Haha

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply tobms12

Ahhh cute! A little wriggler! Extra scans is always a bonus 🙌🏻

Yeah I’m not too worried, it’s only just over my cervix so it will hopefully move up as baby grows xx

Whoop! 🥳 so thrilled for you xx

Oh wow congratulations! This gives me hope. I’ve had 3 egg collections, 2 fresh transfers and one frozen transfer. We have no spare frozen so am about to go into 4th egg collection. Maybe this will be our lucky cycle. I’ll be very happy if we could just get some spare embryos to freeze. It’s so nice to hear these success stories. I’m really am very happy for you ❤️

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply toKybow

Thank you so much 😊

We never got anything to freeze on our first three cycles but our fourth got us this little shrimp and two frozen embryos so hoping it’s fourth time lucky for you too! ♥️

Kybow profile image
Kybow in reply toKiboXX

That it so reassuring, thank you 🙏 It’s also great you have 2 frozen. It just shows that not all cycles end up the same way even after 3 unsuccessful ones. Xx

We've good hun. Waiting for our 20 week scan next Wednesday. Been suffering from lots of morning sickness and super sensitive to smell! But otherwise well. Have you felt movement yet?

KiboXX profile image
KiboXX in reply toRainbowhope

Oh bless you, poor thing! Not really yet, the odd flutter but that’s it. My placenta is anterior so it’s at the front, basically a cushion between me and baby so she said not to worry, it will come in time 😊 xx
