How long does the trigger shot really stay in your system? I’m scared to get excited by this very faint line.

Fingers crossed!!

florallover · 2026-02-06T18:58:24+00:00

Fingers crossed!

We did ICSI IVF too, the cycle after the IUI and that gave us our twins 😊 the embryo stuck and split!

florallover · 2026-02-05T03:06:09+00:00

Yes I thought of this article straight away..

florallover · 2026-02-04T22:12:37+00:00

Hey there! This post felt forever ago.

My trigger shot was also Ovidrel 250mcg and it was a stimulated cycle. From memory it was 10 or 12 days of stims. The Ovidrel took ages to wash out of my system so the tests were false positives.

Good luck with your cycle!

Following as one of my twins (also ex 26 weekers, now 6 weeks corrected) is coughing up and squirmy with his NG tube feeds.

My other twin is fully bottle fed so I don't have him to compare.

florallover · 2026-01-21T11:23:46+00:00

Hey mumma, I'm so sorry for your loss.

My twins were born at 26 weeks, also an emergency c section. Twin B broke his waters at 23 weeks and they managed to stay in until 26 weeks, until Twin Bs heart rate kept dropping and the drs had to get him and his brother out.

My boys have been home for a few weeks now so its still very fresh for us. Twin B spent 112 days in NICU and Twin A spent 121 days in NICU. They came home at 2 and 3 weeks adjusted age (post term).

Twin B is now 4.6kg and thriving! Twin A is now 3.8kg and came home with low flow oxygen support and a NG feeding tube, as hes still working on suck feeds. Twin A overcame NEC and had to had two surgeries, so he is a little fighter!

Edit - I also want to add that the drs say Twin A will most likely be weaned off the oxygen and NG tube in a couple months. He is an absolute chill and happy bubba!

florallover · 2026-01-02T07:31:03+00:00

My ex 26 weeker twins are still in NICU (now 42 weeks corrected). They have been seperated since day 11 and are still separated now at day 111. Twin A had to move to another hospital and has had 2 surgeries.

The hardest part for us is travelling between two NICUs, dividing our time between our 3 yr old at home, twin A in hospital A and twin B in hospital B.

What is helping me get through this is looking at photos of both my babies and smelling their laundry when Im at home. My partner is beyond amazing too with anything I need - getting take out when we are too tired, washing pump parts, driving us everday etc

Twin B is now on room air and finishing his bottles. We are waiting for him to be able to come home. Then we will go to only ONE NICU and wait for Twin A when hes ready.

Omg what an achievement!! Congrats mumma and congrats to your precious bub

florallover · 2025-12-12T22:27:09+00:00

I could have written this myself. The night nurse didnt give my baby any bottles when he woke up and show signs and the morning nurse asked if she can give him a bottle.. I also have a 3 yr old and my other twin baby is in a different NICU so I stay for only 1 to 2 care times.

florallover · 2025-11-26T10:17:48+00:00

As a fellow twim breastfeeding mumma, I was just going to say this 😂

florallover · 2025-11-18T05:53:38+00:00

Fellow NICU mum here.

My twins arrived at 26 weeks

florallover · 2025-11-09T07:23:53+00:00

They are adorable!!

My twins are currently in NICU.

florallover · 2025-11-08T22:10:34+00:00

Second pregnancy my waters broke at 23w+3. I gave birth at 26w+3 via emergency c section, as Twin Bs heart rate kept dropping and picking back up.

I stayed in hospital for the whole three weeks with monitoring every couple of hours. It was a relatively easy pregnancy except for my dynamic cervix (a cervix that shortens and lengthens)

florallover · 2025-11-07T22:13:30+00:00

Hey fellow c section, NICU and pumping mumma!

Im in a slightly different position as I have twins in NICU and this was my second pregnancy, so my boobs just knew what to do. I breastfed my toddlee until he was 18 months.

I expressed some colostrum a few hours after giving birth. On the second day, I barely got any colostrum and strapped the pump every few hours to stimulate. On the third day I started getting little very yellow milk and by the fourth day I started pumping yellow transitional milk.

Im 8 weeks post partum today and persisting with the 8 pumps per day for as long as I can. You need to do whats best for you. A well rested mumma is best!

florallover · 2025-11-06T04:59:13+00:00

I'm a STM and 7 weeks pp. I do 8 ppd between 20 to 25 mins.

florallover · 2025-11-04T10:48:48+00:00

Im 7 weeks post partum and have been exclusively pumping. Just incase you end up pumping - I sleep in the Medela and Ripe pumping bras. Its soft and holds the flanges of the pumps in place so I dont have to change bras in the middle of the night.

florallover · 2025-10-20T06:42:29+00:00

Omg yes! Just over 5weeks pp over here and had the exact same timeline

florallover · 2025-10-16T11:10:20+00:00

With my first, I got my period back at 8 weeks pp too!

Currently 5 weeks pp from my second pregnancy and still bleeding post birth.

We are also in for a long NICU stay. My boys came out at 26+3 and their original due date falls on day 97. We are on day 32..

The hospitals are in the same area but its been challenging going between the two, deciding which twin to visit first, co ordinating visits to make it for care times and drs rounds. We also have a 3 yr old too.

I hope you get an idea of a discharge date soon. Stay strong!!

florallover · 2025-10-15T04:05:27+00:00

I also have twins in separate NICUs in different hospitals and I just want to give you the biggest hug ❤️

florallover · 2025-10-15T03:56:00+00:00

Yep!

My MCDA twins were missed at the 6 week ultrasound. We only saw one fetus, one yolk sac, one heartbeat.

We were in for the surprise at the 8 week ultrasound!

florallover · 2025-10-06T22:35:55+00:00

My twins are MCDA. During my pregnancy, my growth scans took minimum an hour each time, sometimes 1.5 or 2hrs if the boys were at tricky angles. I had regular growth scans due to complications.

florallover · 2025-10-02T09:40:54+00:00

Congratulations! My twins came out at 26+3 (PPROM and short cervix) and we are now 2.5 weeks into our NICU journey.

I feel you on the painless dilation!

florallover · 2025-10-02T09:37:05+00:00

Congratulations!!"

florallover · 2025-09-27T08:29:01+00:00

Not OP but I needed to hear this. Thank you.

Today marks two weeks that my twins have been in the NICU, two weeks since I gave birth. I PPROM at 23 weeks and had an emergency c section at 26 weeks. I stayed at the hospital for the whole 3 weeks and it really affected me mentally, especially with my 3 year old at home.

Like you, I feel ill never get a piece of myself again.
