New thread for successful June 2010 IVFers.

I've been thinking a lot lately about my cycle since it all started about a year ago. First RE consult was in April. And now I find it hard to believe that a year ago this week I was upset because my cycle had to be postponed due to a cyst. I started stims May 28, 2010.... and look where I am now! Amazing...

Ok, I must be really bored today... lol. Jesse is sleeping well today, so that's really good!

I have these pair of Michael Kors jeans that I LOVE. I hadn't been able to wear them for a long time because I had lost weight before pregnancy and they were too big. Well, I can fit in them now. Bittersweet... love them but hate that I have to wear them... lol. So I went on Ebay.... and I found them!!! Mine are a size 10 and I bought a size 6. I have my almost to goal jeans!

Hey Ladies I was thinking the same thing today we have come so far and we have all been together since the 2WW
Tammy my girlfriends son who has reflux has been on rice cereal since he was 2 weeks she said it helped her! Just a thought!!
Size 6 wow I feel like I will never see that size again!!!! I bought size 11 & 13 in juniors though!!! I dont know why I torture myself shopping in juniors still!!! Cuter clothes I guess!!!!!
AFM Lorenzo is getting fussy so I got to get going!! He is 12 weeks today!!! Ugh so depressing this is my last full week with him!!!

Hey my ticker is wrong!! Just noticed!!

Ok, well, so far so good. Picked up yet another formula. He didn't have the feeding issues until we switched him to Alimentum about 5 weeks ago. A week in is when he started crying during some feedings and it has gotten progressively worse. And the reason for switching, gas, hasn't gotten any better either. It seemed to in the beginning, but it has just come back full force as well.

I got Gerber Good Start Protect Plus. It has probiotics which I am hoping will help him. I do have the Platex drop-in bottle so will try that too. But as of last night, he's had somewhere around 5 feedings and hasn't fussed once. Hopefully, maybe, the new formula will help.

And it will be awhile before I get into those size 6 jeans! Although I'm thinking my metabolism must still be elevated from the pregnancy because I am just dropping the weight. Down 9 pounds!

Tammy you must have so many different formula's Geesh!! It must be so difficult for you seeing your little guy struggle!!!! Maybe he is allergic to milk, is that possible? I am no help sorry!!
I am sure you have just thought of everything by now!!
I can't believe you are down 9 pounds I am beginning to think I have a thyroid problem (fat girl excuse lol) no but seriously when I was trying sooooooooo hard and did everything to try to get my milk in the lactation consultant said I could have a thyroid problem and that is why my milk is not coming in. If I don't start loosing weight when I get back to work I will get checked out!!!
I just realized I said we have been together since the 2WW well then I realized duh we have been together since we started the stims (remember her) man I don't miss all those injections!!!

On that note, I am ovulating LOL although it is tempting!!!! I remember every month my husband use to call me the ovulator LOL!!! Two years of trying and monitoring ovulation I guess made me a little loopy!!!

Ok I am being sentimental!! Talk to you girls soon!!

When is Berry due again???

Tammy: i read somewhere that babies grunt more at night when they are deep asleep...both twins have reflux and we give them zantac liquid..it is like night and day..if they don't get it...the spit up a lot. Note about rice cereal I saw mentioned...some dr's do suggest rice cereal for some babies because it thickens the milk so it is not as easy to spit up...but it can also cause a lot of discomfort in the tummy and bowels and cause constipation...I tried it with my twins and it was a few days of non-stop crying.

Tiffy: Sorry you have to go back to work..sometimes I do envy woking moms..they get lunch breaks and adult conversation.LOL

So crazy how much time has flown by...my RE's office sent me a notice about my embryo storage...i still have 2..but I am definitely done having children. I don't know if I have ever posted a picture of my boys...So funny D's kept thinking that Ethan has juandice and tested him, seveal times..nope he had some pigment and is now very brown..lol

Tiffy---I forgot about that nurse!!!!! You made me crack up! I still buy clothes in the junior dept. too, so don't feel bad! I think Berry is due in June, but don't remember for certain.

Tammy---I really hope this formula does the trick! Smart of you to figure out that it was that formula you've been using. Have you started on the new one yet or did you just get it today...I wasn't sure from your post. You said the last 5 feedings were good, but I wasn't sure if you switched yet. 9 pounds...that's awesome! I need to get on your diet plan! I have absolutely no will-power while nursing.

Kara---They are so cute all cuddled next to each other! I CANNOT imagine two!!! Sounds (and looks) like you are doing great
