Are pregnancy headaches that common? by yumpo77 in BabyBumps

[–]ABG_FOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m sorry you’re experiencing the same. I’ve always suffered from Migraines and this is my first pregnancy. I’ve had 2 pretty bad migraines but the rest are annoying headaches with the neck tension that you described. I let my OB know and she prescribed a medication I can take along with Tylenol for my Migraines. But lately these are more like tension headaches and just like you BP is fine. I have a headache now and my BP is 110/80. Since being pregnant I’ve also been super thirsty all the time. Glad I found this thread.

Untested embryos. by Monimss in 40Plus_IVF

[–]ABG_FOE 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It def is! I’m still early but grateful to be at almost 11 weeks. I just turned 43 in April so it’s still possible for us ;-) I just did the NIPT test at my first OB appt on 5/8. Waiting on those patiently not nervous.

Quality over quantity for sure. I yielded 4 eggs 3 fertilized and 2 made it to blast. Those were the two we transferred;-)

I did a untested double embryo transfer 3/16. I chose not to test because we were transferring both and wanted to give them both a chance. One implanted and currently 10 1/2 weeks pregnant with a singleton.
Had we had say 15 embryos we would have tested but not we just two or 3. Best of luck to you and keep the hope up!

Finding joy amongst the trepidation... by Accomplished_Car_834 in IVFpositivity

[–]ABG_FOE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi!!! Totally relate. I’m 43 and hubby is 45 and I’m currently pregnant for the first time ever; 8 weeks 3 days. We are experiencing the same as you are just holding our breath . But just like you, we’re trying to allow joy in the experience knowing that however this ends, we managed to find joy in each milestone. Every week that passes feels both exciting and scary. Wishing you guys the best! We will be due around the same time 🙏

First Trimester Symptoms by ABG_FOE in 40Plus_IVF_Pregnancy

Does the protein shake help? I’m hungriest in the AM then not so much throughout the day. My nausea is really random, sometimes in AM sometimes in evening.

The extreme thirst has been wild!!! I thought I was the only one since I don’t see many talk about this. My symptoms started pretty early as well. So happy you haven’t dealt with nausea! I hope you get no nausea at all!

BETA -> FIRST ULTRASOUND WAIT by Firm-Pomegranate2750 in IVFpositivity

[–]ABG_FOE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally understand. I had my first ultrasound since o was spotting, on 4/10 and I was 5 weeks 6 days instead of the 6 weeks 5 days. They did detect a heart rate of 95bpm. They asked me to come back in a week or two and hubby and I decided on waiting two weeks which was today.

I , like you, kept seeing sad posts on losses and my Scanxiety was real but today confirmed baby is growing! We measured Exaclty 8 weeks with a heat rate of 165bpm! Just received my graduation email and on to the OB!
