TTC #1- Looking for buddies!

Ahh I tried to share a photo from our family/maternity photo shoot but it won’t upload!

dream lol I don’t blame you!! I’m so excited!!

OB says I’m at a 2 and 80% effaced so every appointment I’ve progressed. He says we are on go time!

TB - oh too bad, I'd love to see those pics.

Did I mention I'm sick? stuffy nose and scratchy throat. Feeling much better this morning than I was yesterday though. I just cancelled the only meeting I had in my calendar today so it's going to be a goooood day. The weather warmed up really nicely this week and it's calling for an amazing weekend. Such a great time of year to give birth TB - I'm a little jealous.

I'm stalking the tracking on my sneakpeek package. Canada Post doesn't operate full swing on weekends so it looks like my sample wont be at the lab till Monday. So I should know by Tuesday what we're having.

Sunny - when's your next appt? No more scans till the anatomy I guess right?

Steph - Dude you're going to be PUPO in less than a week! yay!

Thank you so much TB and Dream- your cheerleading means a lot to me!

Transfer has actually been brought forwards by a day so now we’re looking at next Tuesday 18th... when do you all think I should test????? Blood test with clinic will be scheduled for 9-10 days later but of course I won’t be able to hold out until then.

Sunny- wow, what an absolute rollercoaster! So so happy for you. What are your next steps? Will you find out what you’re having?

Dream- sorry you’re feeling under the weather, hope you feel better soon. I’m excited for the results of your test- are they very accurate?

TB - ahhh so very close now. If you could possibly hold out until Tuesday then the four of us will technically be pregnant at the same time! Amber can have an honorary pregnancy!

Yes! Tuesday transfers are so much more fun than Wednesday transfers! haha

Haha you are so right! Only four sleeps left and I’m working nights Saturday and Sunday so that doesn’t even count!

I tried again but it didn’t let me put more in. But here!

steph- I would love to wait but I also would love to not hahaha! But I agree with dream- Tuesday is way better than Wednesday. I would test on the 28!!

dream I’m so anxious to find out what you’re having!!

TB these are so nice! I love it, super cute!

Oh my goodness, isn’t it funny how you did not look at all like that in my head! Such beautiful pictures TB, you are RADIANT!!

Ha, well if you’re going to be selfish I suppose you can have her this weekend instead!

Oh the 28th, was hoping one of you would give me the green light a lot earlier hahaha. 28th is our blood test so I suppose you’re right!

Haha steph what did you picture?? And thank you
I guess I didn’t think about it.. but how old are the embryos going to be when you transfer them? Will they be 3 or 5 days? Because that’s going to make a difference. If it’s 3 days.. I’d do it the 25.. if it’s 5 days I would do it the 23! But let’s be real.. If it were me I would start testing like the 21 and just test daily lol

Well now I come to think of it, I’m not entirely sure! But you know at the moment when you see someone with a mask and you kind of give them a face and they take off the mask and you think, oooohhhh that’s the real you!

Unless we hear from them today it will be a day 5 transfer (or not at all). Also when I’m on day shifts I work 0730-2030 (so out the house from 0630-2100), so I would leave it until a day I was off anyway in case it all goes tits up! I’m off on 24th so I’m thinking then...

Omggg love those pics Tb! What a gorgeous family!!

Steph, you definitely have our permission to test earlier so it's just estradiol and progesterone at this point? No hcg shots? That would be the only exception to not test too early. With my FET I started testing 3dp5dt I think lol. Just because I knew that if it was negative that early on it wouldn't completely crush me (because there's a veryyyyy good chance the embryo hasn't even implanted yet). By 7dp5dt 90% of those that end up pregnant would show a line, so if you only want to test once, wait a week and you'll (almost) know for sure. And make sure you use cheapies or other sensitive line tests (like FRER). No digitals if you're testing early. And no blue dye tests either They have a tendency to show an evap line that looks an awful lot like a positive (evaps are gray, a positive on a blue dye is blue, and it's hard to tell a faint blue from a gray line). Okay enough rambling lol.

Dream, omg chances are you'll find out the sex in just 3 days!!! I'm probably a few days behind you. Did my NIPT last Tuesday and it takes about 10 days for the results to come in. Eeekkk!

Lol steph I totally know what you mean. I still get shocked sometimes when I see my students without their masks!

Sunny- thank you! I don’t like spending money on pictures but I felt so strongly about having some with just the three of us one more time!

Thanks Sunny, good to know about the 7dp5dt- if I test on 24th I will be 6dp and I think last time I got quite an obvious positive at 5dp. I’m working on 25th and 26th and I think 27th will be too long to wait! I think I only have one digital test at home from a pack of two I got before my SIS, but I’m pretty sure work use the Alere Easy ones so I’ll go and have a look in the cupboard in a minute (we have to pregnancy test 90 year olds, even ones that have no uterus!!!).

How are you feeling after the trauma of everything?

Tb, money well spent for sure!!! Those are some awesome memories that you'll cherish forever!

Steph, the 24th sounds like the perfect date to test!! I'm so excited for you!!!! And yes, everything feels so unreal... still! I'm still not sure if I want to stay with the same practice to be honest.


... but they did call me with my NIPT results today (just 6 days after the blood draw!) and everything came back low risk! Andddd we know what we're having

AHH SUNNY!! Eek! Congrats!! Love it!! #girlmoms

Dream- have you gotten your sneakpeak results back yet??

Congratulations Sunny! Another girl!! So exciting!

Steph- looking forward to seeing your tests soon!

Tb- those pictures are absolutely beautiful! Money well spent indeed.

Dream- you should be getting the sneak peek results back soon, I'm guessing another boy!

Thanks ladies, we're so excited!!!

Steph, good luck today!! Can't wait to hear how it went!

OMG Sunny thank you for the excitement with your gender announcement! I got so much joy from just clicking the link. LOL I'm such a nerd. Congrats my friend!!

Tracking says my SneakPeek will be delivered to the lab by end of day today. (Tuesday) it originally said yesterday but I guess there was some kind of hold up. Blah. FX it gets there before noon then maybe we'll find out today but I guess worst case scenario is tomorrow.

Although I like how the trends seems to be going in this group everyone's 2nd is same gender right?

Completely appreciate you rooting for a boy for me Amber! I've always wanted to be a boy mom but of course I'll be happy either way.

Steph, sending you all the super sticky preggo vibes today!

Ahhhhh congrats on your beautiful girl Sunny!

hoping your results won’t take long Dream!

thank you for all the well wishes ladies - out of the seven we had left only one made it to transfer so we need to keep everything crossed. I feel a bit concerned because I wanted the embryologist to say ‘oh my god this is an amazing looking embryo’ but she didn’t. Maybe they don’t like to get peoples hopes up. I’ll try and upload a pic

Keeps saying image is too large so I don’t think I can do it
