Wednesday Randoms!!!

[youdontsay]

bocaburger and remylove1011 my RE wanted me to stop at 7 weeks, my gyn was like "oh no no no. Gradually drop it down, but we're not stopping until 13 weeks." She's like me though, a little neurotic so I didn't argue. I'm just tired of my ass being sore!

[dc2london]

Sorry about your butt youdontsay,

[agpjt413]

Adorable remylove1011!!

[youdontsay]

Thanks dc2london! I needed the laugh right now!

bocaburger WOW. That is just crazy odds right there. At least it's less risky if they have their own placentas. How long did you and your H try "naturally" before IVF? What are the chances that it finally happens during this one cycle. Soo crazy

38 months TTC total, including 4 clomid TI cycles, 1 iui, and 2 IVF cycles. Seriously what are the odds.

My day did not follow the plan. I got a call as I was leaving to take the kids to school that I did not pass my 3-hour gestational diabetes test, so spent most of the day at a medical office learning how to manage that. (Of course before I went, because I am a glutton for punishment, I googled gestational diabetes and thought, "certainly the NIH will have well-reasoned information." False. They make sure to include all worst possible scenarios, no matter how unlikely.) Anyway, it all sounds very manageable and not as terrible as I was imagining. She says on Day 1.

Sorry for the news. It's tough but at least it's manageable.

bocaburger, OMG how astounding! I'm glad the bocatwins are doing well!

[dorkusmalorkus]

Thanks, kam3100 That's what I figure--it seems relatively not-bad, and I'd rather start taking care of it sooner than later.

[remylove1011]

bocaburger. Glad the twins are doing well! Crazy about them possibly being fraternal.

I'm sorry, I'm sure those weren't the results you were hoping for... but I do think it's manageable. Why were you tested so early?

[annbuhdan]

bocaburger. Great appointment! And FWIW, I check my phone just before I get going in the morning and when there's no new randoms thread I always think Where is boca? I need new stuff to read!!

So lately I am having the shaky "I need to eat feeling" but I'm eating all the time so I know that can't be it. So my solution is I just eat more...?

[gratefulgirl]

bocaburger what a great but crazy day! So glad the bocatwins are doing well.

dorkusmalorkus sorry about the GD. I have a few IRL friends who have it. They find it annoying but manageable.

[redthestral13]

bocaburger how incredible!

[annbuhdan]

Ugh I both love and hate that my kitchen counters don't show crumbs. I finished making myself lunch for tomorrow and I feel satisfied to see no crumbs. Then I crouch down to eye level and bam, tons of crumbs appear for me to clean up.

[ronniesgirl]

bocaburger, that is insane. But! Fraternal twins are so much less risky!

[bocaburger]

ronniesgirl, how was your appointment? Did I miss your update?

Thanks for checking up on me. Our baby has knees! 

So far, so good. NT scan and genetic screening in a week.

That is so crazy! It would almost be more believable that your RE accidently transferred two! But at this point, all that matters is healthy, growing Bocatwins!!!

I had several risk factors (mom, sister have diabetes, AMA, overweight, and my son was 9 lb, 8 oz at birth). I think she wanted to be proactive. Seems smart.

I am just speechless lol

[kaitkat]

Yay bocaburger !! You are handling the SCH way better than me haha which baby had the SCH? And I'm jealous you are off metformin I'm stuck on it till next week at least

[Rama]

Holy shit, Boca, I have one crazy day and miss your insane news??? I'm completely blown away.

Yay for all of today's great scans! I can't believe the wiggles are looking more like people now. So crazy!

[hollyberry]

Fantastic news on all the appointments!

bocaburger, thats crazy eh! Its nice they have their own placentas, from what I know sharing one can cause different complications. Are they in their own sac too? We were also baffled to find out ours could also be identical, being completely separate I thought that ment fraternal, but not the case. So we have to wait and see at sex determining time and then maybe not til birth too. Crazy, science is crazy!

[hollyberry]

Love the scan pictures ladies! remylove1011, dc2london,

[bocaburger]

kaitkat They didn't even tell me which baby has the SCH, but it's very small and I haven't had any spotting so she really wasn't worried. I'm sure I'd be less calm if there was bleeding! But remember most SCHs resolve on their own with no problems.

Very true I haven't had any bleeding either so fx for both that they just resolve on their own
