How are you feeling?

I wake up hopeful every morning kay! 14 weeks tomorrow and I still feel rubbish. Then again, some purists say that 14w is the actual start of 2nd tri so maybe it will be tomorrow ?

You have a lovely story bibi, and I look forward to being here for the next chapter with you!

Aw man- I was looking forward to having more energy in the next couple of weeks! Hopefully your energy is coming soon. I remember feeling great in the 2nd tri with my first two kids, just don't remember when exactly the energy came back!

Liz I choose DE after have wasted a lot of time with IUI. We tried for 3 years and changed clinic twice without any success. The third clinic ask a more detailed sperm test and then we found out that my husband had low count and very bad morphology. The only option for us was IVF with ICSI. At that point I was 40 and not that optimistic at all but we tried once. I had 4 follicles and my RE said that this number was not good enough to proceed. Using ICSI the chances of damaged an egg in the procedure is high, that's why they look for more eggs to work with. After everything we went trough I was just looking for the best chances to get us a family we was dreaming for so long. That's why a still have some embryos. I had luck and had an amazing twin pregnancy. See now how they interact at age of 15 months old is really amazing and make me think about to try again with 2. But with 2 toddlers I think that a singleton pregnancy make more sense ?

Wow how lovely to have the choice! I didn't have any spare embies. I guess if you'd be able to imagine life with 2 or more new babies then go for it as you've proven that your body can handle it. If not, then one at a time makes more sense. Good luck!

I'm going for the number 4 lol ? I had my first 20 years ago (from my first marriage)! She's an amazing young lady ?? Last year I had twins (girl/boy) and now I'm getting ready for a FET probably in may!! I'm just wondering if I should put 1 or 2 back in (assuming everything goes well with thawing the embryos)

Age is just a number. I gave birth to my 1st IVF miracle a month before turning 43, and my IVF miracle twins 2 months after turning 44. It's been the best whirlwind of my life!!

You've got this!

Bibi thanks and how exciting!! I'd love to have a 2nd asap. I'm planning to bf for 6m then do another retrieval as soon as they'll let me, so I should be 42 for the 2nd birth. Getting ahead of myself I know lol. Poor DH can't face the thought of me being a sofa zombie for two years.

Jcs that sounds tough. Hope it calms down soon. Sometimes I wish I wasn't a WorkFromHomeMum2Be as I'd have meetings and colleagues to keep me on track on get me off the sofa because I don't think the sofa helps. I'm no less tired for all the resting and sleeping I'm doing :(

Hang in there !! In a couple of days you will feel better. I was in your situation while a go and you will get your energy back little by little. Don't you worry is not your age is just that to make a human being requires a lot energy. By the way I delivered at age 42, now I'm 43 and about to start a FET ?

I'm 34 and feel the same. I'm not as tired as I was but still prettt exhausted and I'm 14 weeks now. AND caught another cold ? I'm on a heavy work schedule at mo and hoping when it calms down I'll start to feel more energetic. I've put on so much weight from the ivf meds and now the pregnancy.
