Also indicate if you had a singleton, or twins as that would affect your due date vs. actual date possibly.
Also when you delivered was it scheduled, or was it a surprise?
And any thing else you'd like to share.
I'm having twins and have no clue when I'll deliver. My EDD is Dec 4th, but I just say "sometime in November".....
thanks,

Posted 30 July 2011 - 08:28 PM
Tried: Naturopath, Chinese herbs, Acupuncture, Homeopathy
4 un-medicated IUI's BFN
IVF # 1 18 eggs retrieved, 16 mature, 8 out of 16 fertilized (1/2 ICSI, half IVF), 5 made it to day 5 blast, transferred two, froze 3
first ever BFP m/c
FET #1 medicated, transferred two, started spotting 2 days later, full blown AF 5 days later (decided I don't react well to Estrace, will do natural frozen next time) BFN
FET #2 natural (but still with progesterone (crinone) support, transferred last blast from IVF #1 BFN
IVF #2 16 eggs retrieved, decided not to do ICSI this time since cycle #1 showed eggs could fertilize on their own, only 3 fertilized! None made it to blast for transfer no transfer! Disaster!
IVF #3 decided to add some repronex to the stims and do all ICSI. 18 eggs, 17 mature and 15 fertilized, 8 made it to day 5 blast. Transferred two blasts, froze 6 BFN
FET#3 added 3 HCG booster shots and doubled up on the crinone to prevent me from spotting early (as I often do), transferred 2 blasts, no spotting but a BFN anyway
FET #4- added ovidral just before my natural ovulation so they could pin point it more accurately with the 36 hour window, HCG shots again, plus double crinone BFN
January 2009 Consult with new RE in Markham - he finds a small septum, resected April 29, 09 - tells me to now try my last two frozen blasts
FET #5 - ET scheduled for June 15 (natural cycle with trigger, HCG booster and crinone) - BFN
On to Plan B- Switch clinic to Markham for
#4 Fresh IVF with IVIg, exploring immune testing - start BCP Sept 20. ER around week of Oct. 25
9 eggs retrieved, 1 immature, 1 fractured. 7 to work with. 4 out of 7 fertilized (Day 3: 1 8 cell grade 1, 2 8 cell grade 2 and 1 morula). Day 5 transferred 1 great blast and 1 morula (1 morula and 1 10 cell did not make it to freezing).
Beta Nov. 11 - BFP! (550) I am in shock!
Issues with spotting, Nov 20, second beta 11,000 and early ultrasound: saw gestational sac and yolk sac in the right place but concern about a cyst or possible ectopic near my ovary as well, 4 more ultrasounds over a 10 day period, last ultrasound on Dec. 2 'cyst' has not grown and baby measuring on target at 7wks, 1day with a heart beat of 153bpm.
Now taking Lovenox due to 2 heterozygous thrombophilias
Ultrasound on Dec. 18 (9 weeks, 5 days) baby on track, hb 167
Ultrasound on Dec. 22 due to extra heavy spotting, baby still measuring on track, hb 167 and dancing
Ultrasound on Jan. 8 (12 weeks, 5 days) baby on track, hb 160, baby doing crunches!
18 week anatomy scan scheduled for Feb. 16 - they lost my blood work for the second part of the IPS so no results for that today (they took blood again) but the 18 week scan went great, baby looked awesome and even gave us a little wave in between sucking her thumb and inspecting her toes. Yes, I said "her" - it's a little girl!
20 week ultrasound at Mt. Sinai and they agree, so far so good.
IPS results are in and they are excellent!
EDD: July 19, 2010
Baby girl arrived at 39 weeks, 2 days! July 14, 2010 3:12 am, weighing 7 pounds even.

I delivered twins at 37 1/2 weeks - planned c-section. Had some blood complications, but my OBGYN wanted them out around 37 to 38 weeks - no later due to increased risks for both mom & babies. Both my kids went home after 3 days of hospital stay - weighing in at 6 and 5.5 lbs... I am not a big person - pre preg weight of 126lbs & smaller boned.How many weeks did you deliver from your EDD (Estimated Due Date?)
Also indicate if you had a singleton, or twins as that would affect your due date vs. actual date possibly.
Also when you delivered was it scheduled, or was it a surprise?
And any thing else you'd like to share.
I'm having twins and have no clue when I'll deliver. My EDD is Dec 4th, but I just say "sometime in November".....
thanks,
Amiee

I read up on it when I was pregnant and apparently 40 weeks is a number some guy picked out of a hat. Well, OK, he probably liked how round it was - and it's pretty close. The actual average pregnancy length (for singletons) is 41w1d for first pregnancies and 40w1d for subsequent ones. Obviously this doesn't apply to twins.

I never heard this 41wd1 number, where did you get it from?Singleton, first birth, labour started at 41w1d and I delivered at 41w3d.

Generally I think it is really hard to make precise statistic of exact length of pregnancy, unless it is an IVF /IUI pregnancy.
The length is calculated based on last menstrual periods, and when women are not trying they do often not remember their exact period. I have multiple friends who really just pull a date out of nowhere when the Dr asked when the last menstrual period was.
