Girl! I’m 8 weeks today and I feel like we’re literally riding the same wave. Our little IVF baby is also thriving but I can’t help but feel nervous everyday. Soaking in the good instead of focusing on the worries is def a challenge for me too. Sending lots of ❤
Technically, the placenta takes over with the hormones at around 8 weeks, that’s why you can stop. Hope that helps your anxiety. 🥰
yes! that is what the RN told me to help ease the anxiety of quitting cold turkey! ❤
@@macdingle it was scary for me, too. I’m a medical anxiety girl, myself, and my doctor reassured me that it was safe. I’m glad everything is going good so far. Praying for y’all! 🥰🙏🏻
I've been following your journey for the last year, and I was so happy to see your positive result. I got the best sort of shock on Mother's day, a positive pregnancy test! Still testing multiple times a day and watching my line progress, it's so magical.
I remember the anxiety when I was no longer on IVF meds, but all was well. A few more months and you will feel the baby moving and that’s when I finally started to relax. Hang in there.
I was bloated to and looked about 5 mos pregnant from the beginning. I don’t remember my bloat disappearing.
When I stopped the PIO shots I had the same feeling I did when graduating college. Ultimate relief! So happy you’re done!
I love that! Honestly it's surreal we took those needles for 10 whole weeks! 💕
Also on week milestones on Wednesdays 🥰 happy Wednesday for tomorrow 😊
Also! I think I started seeing a little something after 11 weeks. And I definitely understand what you mean about things not feeling real or final. I easily find myself saying ‘I’m pregnant’, but ‘I’m having a baby’, not so easy to believe yet.
Happy almost Wednesday! ❤️ I totally resonate with that - I just recently started embracing the “I’m pregnant” but it’s hard to picture the baby part! ❤️
Yay, graduation from the fertility clinic🎉. Amazing.
Secondly, please note that pregnancy following infertility/loss is mixed with both worry and gratitude for finally being pregnant. So, happy for you both, PASP!!
Can’t believe you are 17 weeks already! Time seems to have flown past. I hope you are keeping well in your second trimester 🥰
I feel the same way ! I’m 6 weeks and 3 days pregnant ! And this Friday I’ll hear for the first time baby’s heartbeat! But I’m also so scared because I want this to go perfect ! I think the fact that I didn’t get pregnant the natural way it’s what makes it more difficult to be confident . But I’m trying my best to stay positive for me and my baby ❤
I’m glad you’re done with your shots !!!
Best of luck and much love 💕
My husband and I had a chemical pregnancy our first month trying. It took us another 5 months to get pregnant naturally, but after that experience with the chemical pregnancy, I definitely struggled with feelings of "is this even real?" and waiting for the other shoe to drop. I'm 26 weeks pregnant now and still struggle with worrying something bad is going to happen, but it definitely got better around week 24 when i started feeling movement! once I could feel movement, it made me feel a lot better cause I wasn't stuck waiting 4 weeks between appointments for them to tell me everything was ok.
I think I had chemical pregnancy as well. I took positive for 4 days and on the 5th it turns negative.
Yesterday, I started having heavily period. Not sure that can call early miscarriage. My heart is truly broken. I have PCOS so my calculations on the ovulation is very challenging and taking longer than normal. I wish this is a dream.
I can totally relate to these feelings! I cannot wait to experience the movements 💕 you’ve got this Jillian 💕
I just stopped my progesterone last Friday! I’m 11 weeks 3 days pregnant today with twins from our FOURTH embryo transfer! I feel like we are so close in due dates!
This is fascinating! I did a mostly natural IVF transfer so no consistent meds except a progesterone suppository as a precaution. I’ll be happy to graduate from that and I’m not far away now! I’m so impressed by y’all you do the shots regularly! I could have done anything for the babe but I’m so grateful I didn’t have to.
Love the team work between you Jack! ❤
First of all: I am so happy for you guys!! You two taking that test was so amazing ❤
But omg, that inner voice! You're not the only one 😢. I was so used to being on the "wrong" side, that it felt like I was waiting for things to go wrong again. It is normal, especially after infertility, but it sucks big time. One of the big things that helped me was when I started to feel my little girl. I had a really small bump, I started showing at around 18 weeks. And it was still only a "big lunch" belly - that didn't help the anxiety part either. Hang in there. Be as happy as you can, show your (gassy ;-)) belly like a proud mama ❤But if you start to feel anxious, talk about it with your husband, friends, the OB, whatever. It's reel. And if it's possible to have an extra ultrasound: just do it.
(And woohoo for no shots!!!)
Thank you!! So many people have said this about feeling better with the movements 💕 I can’t wait to experience them! 💕
I am so happy for you and I absolutley understand that you are a bit worried after everything the two of you have been thru to get where you are right now. I have never been in your situation so I can not relate but I am sure this little magic baby will stay with you and everything will be just fine 😊. He or she will be in your arms before you know it. Fun that you play ”The final countdown”. They (Europe) started the band just a few minutes away from where I live.
I started wearing maternity jeans at 9 weeks🤣 I think other people started commenting on my bump at about 12! I felt SO much less anxiety after I got through the first trimester! I tried to focus on the positive statistics at that point and try to have hope that my body could do it from that point on🤞🏻
I have no experience with any of this (but hope to in the near future) but something that i think will help you guys is a "doppler" for you guys to hear the heart beat, I mean other mommas correct me if I'm wrong 😅, but yeah I think it would help you guys. So excited for both❤.
What perfect timing for this video upload as I am 10 weeks 3 days.
How exciting you don't have to take medications anymore! 🎉
Happy 10 weeks Ezra! 💕💕
What a huge milestone! And, of course, I'm sure you've had many more since this video.
The anxiety is totally natural, but I hope that as you go through this pregnancy you can start to feel more at ease and believe that your body's got this now! After all the struggles to get pregnant (and thank goodness for modern medicine in that regard), there's absolutely nothing to say you won't have a perfect and smooth pregnancy from here on out. You're super strong, your body is incredible and capable, and your baby is clearly a strong little fighter -- you're gonna do great!
Hi Mac and Jack aww I can definitely see a little bump there after you had finished your IVF shots.I understand your anxiety you get that feeling when you get pregnant naturally it’s a scary time you just don’t know what could happen I was like that with each of my pregnancies until my babies were safely out into the world. I started showing from 10 weeks of pregnancy with my first baby a little bump just like yours. You are doing so well Mac and great that you have finished with all your meds I expect your in your second trimester now; can’t wait for your next video, hope your all doing well. Lots of love to you both xxx 💗
The anxiety of stopping the progesterone is real! I didn't trust my body to take over and do its job. I asked the OB more than once whether they were sure I should stop taking it lol
So happy for you! Sending so many positive thoughts and prayers your way! I was about 4-5months before I started showing that I could see and 5-6 where others were noticing. So excited for you and Jack! ❤
That is so cool! Thank you so much! 💕💕
i love the Harry Potter humor 😊
happy 10 weeks!! 31 for me 🥰
I had the same feeling as you stopping progesterone. It was a sense of control! But our bodies are capable to take over :)
I am thankful I got to do vaginal progesterone😊
I honestly can't remember when the bloat changed to an actual bump now, it's been too long haha! So glad your injections are finally done!
Thank you friend!! 💕💕
Congrats on this milestone!!!! I've been here cheering for a while but now that we are about to start IVF I am re watching some of the vids as we prep for ivf this fall 💗Ive documented my ectopics and tube removal but we are now in our IVF era lol Happy for you guys! xoox
So exciting ❤
a big day! ❤️
So exciting!! Totally can relate to your anxiety- I was TERRIFIED to stop my progesterone! I didn’t have any issues after stopping but it was definitely scary.
So so scary! I’m glad we’re both on the other side! 💕
So exciting, another milestone done with. Cant wait for more updates ❤
Thank you Kerry! ❤️
Hi family june my dear with god all things are possible continue staying hopeful he will take you to the end of this journey everything will be alright blessings my love❤❤
You've got this Mac!!! Love you guys so much!!
I thought he was playing the rocky theme 😂 so excited for you guys !! Going all the way !!
Hahaha thank you!! 💕💕
I think everybody shows at a different time in their pregnancy depending on your body weight and the number of previous pregnancies. I wore my size 5 jeans til June 9th with my first, delivered a 7=14oz baby on Aug 22. Crazy
Currently watching this with my pants unbuttoned due to my post lunch bloat. At 13 weeks i feel like i have a little swelling, but no bump (unless bloated) but also I've had two laparotomies and hernia repair so there is a lot of scar tissue and a bit of surgical mesh that will need to stretch before too much will show. I don't think I saw too much difference in bloating from when i was on the estrogen/progesterone to after, but my bloating has been more sporadic or meal driven. I personally just am so excited to get to the stage of there being an obvious baby bump and movements - that will finally make it feel more real! 🍀
That being said I have taken pictures of my "bump" and sent them to my husband in those moments when I can see something (he's been out of town) and his response has been entirely 🤷♂️ so truly I think we notice stuff ourselves long before it's noticeable to others.
Happy 13 weeks!! I can’t wait for us to feel those movements 💕💕
You must be getting close!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you that it will be any day now for you 🥰🤞!
Yay I’m so glad you’re finally done with your medications!! I had to stay on metformin (due to my PCOS) for the first 10 weeks of my pregnancy and I had such a love/hate relationship with it as well. It gave us our miracle baby and can help the baby stick but on the other hand it made me feel so incredibly sick. I was so terrified yet ready to be off of it. It was incredibly worth it but I feel you girly 💕💕Im just so happy to see you progressing so well and love seeing all your pregnancy updates!! 💕It makes my heart so happy 🥰🥰
Thank you so much Mandy! What a sick relationship we have with these dang medications 😂❤
So happy for you to have this opportunity! Congratulations ❤️
Thank you so much! 💕💕
I can not waaaiiitttt to stop! 3 more weeks!
You’ve got this!! 💕💕
My bump started around 8 weeks for my 3 pregnancies. This could be the factor of their weights. 9lb 8oz (4309 g ) , 10 lb 8 oz (4762 g ) and the last one 8lb 2oz (3685 g) said how small she was a😮nd the nurses just looked at me! Al sdo after the dr told me babies usually get bigger each time. Glad he didnt say this at the beginning all natural and between 2 1/2 to 3 hrs labour
Love you guys, cant wait to see bump popping out
Thank you Lyndsay!! 💕
I’m currently nine days away from finishing my PIO shots. I hadn’t heard that bloat could go down from stopping the support meds. That would be amazing, because the bloating for me has been out of control 😂 Also glad you talked about the fear surrounding stopping the shots. I’ve definitely been feeling a little nervous about that.
Totally normal to feel fear around these things! Your body and baby are doing exactly what they’re supposed to do 💕 you’ve got this mama! 💕
Congrats on being done, your such a trooper🎉 Cant wait to hear when you start feeling your baby move. Mine started at 16 and half weeks and felt like someone was lightly tickling me from the inside haha it was so adorable. I also got a fetal heartbeat monitor at walmart to ease my mind before i could feel movement.
Thank you Kara!! That’s so exciting about movements 😍 I can’t wait to feel them!
The anxiety and waiting for the other shoe to drop is also very prominent with a pregnancy after miscarriage. I have 2 rainbow babies and I was stressed throughout the entire pregnancy both times.
I think about women with your experience all the time and I can only imagine the anxiety after loss, you’re so strong 💕💕
@@macdingle - I was lucky. I suffered infertility with my first few pregnancies but later became extremely fertile. I had 3 girls of my own (now 32, 29, & 26 yo) and now a granddaughter. I was also able to carry a child to term for a friend of mine who was unable to carry her daughter due to a heart condition (she is now 23 yo). Although I suffered through some heartache, I got my blessings eventually. This is just the beginning for you and what an adventure it shall be.
Wow I found out im pregnant after 11 years from having my first son, so 11 years I've been trying im due November 18th 2023 Congratulations 🎉🎉
Hehehe you're SO pregnant!!! Its fantastic!💚💫🌟
Thank you 🥹💕💕
Good luck to you both.I couldn’t have kids due to ovarian cancer 10yrs ago and been cancer free until 2yrs ago and my blood have been normal until 3wks ago and my cancer levels are up going for CT SCAN tomorrow
Oh Laura, I will pray for you.
sending you so many positive thoughts for tomorrow Laura! ❤
🙏🙏🙏🙏 for you sending love and hugs for tomorrow ❤
@@patseemore5019 thanks
@@macdingle thanks
Congratulations on this milestone!
Thank you so much! ❤
I TOTALLY noticed a difference in bloating after stoping PIO/estrogen. To be honest, it kind of triggered me seeing my “bump” go down but lol it went right back up within a week or so 😂.
It’s been the same for me! The bump started bumpin’ just a couple weeks later 😍
I’ve done ivf and got pregnant naturally. The hormones weren’t different for me. 🤷🏻♀️
That's so interesting, thank you for sharing! 💕
Congrats….and your baby belly is so cute! Big difference from the bloated pics. Your stomach went flat other than baby.
You got this mom bear 🐻 ❤😊. Show the baby bump is about 12 or 13 week it will sh😢
I was paranoid caz the placental takes over from 8-12 weeks so I called my OB n she was so sweet. She placed me on oral progesterone until end of week 12. Caz I have anxiety like u sis so I get it
My anxiety never went away I still check my underwear for bleed it’s sad really. It’s what infertility does to u. FYI I had mini cramps entire first trimester it’s normal
Congratulations love!! 💕💕
I check for bleeding all the time and I have never had fertility issues or loss. I think thats normal for some of us
Hi Mac. Just curious...do you know the baby's gender? If not, are you going to find out? I was team green and it was awesome. :)
That's a great question! I'll include it in an upcoming Q&A because I don't think we've answered this 💕💕
Yay to no more meds.
🙌🏼💕
Do you know the gender of your baby?
Great question! I’ll make sure to include it in an upcoming Q&A 💕💕
That lower hard part is your uterus and baby that is real not bloat there
You need to do research on cleaning the cat liter box. Pregnant women are not supposed to.
Karen - when did you see me clean the litter box lol
How in the world did Jack cleaning the litter box with Mac literally sequestered in the other room turn into "you need to do research about how pregnant women aren't supposed to clean the litter box?" This woman could not be doing things more perfectly by the book out here.
