3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Maverick007]

oh my goodness two people with good news in one day, soooo exciting!! keep us posted on your beta tomorrow, but that sounds very positive! Yay!!

 

[PinkPeony]

Oh!! I'm so happy!! I had such a good feeling for both of you! Good luck with your beta tomorrow Chris - excited for you!! How are you feeling btw?

 

[SashimiMimi]

So happy to see all the BFPs in here! congrats!

 

[Chris_25]

Thank you everyone! I think I'm just in shock!

Pink- I'm feeling good sore boobs, light cramping and constant migraines ugh I hope they go away because I am a migraine sufferer to begin with! I am not complaining though and will take any type of symptoms out there! Lol other than that I feel great!

 

[Jlh1980]

Congrats Chris!!! My migraines went away completely at 17 weeks, also Tylenol worked for the first time in my life!

 

[PinkPeony]

Holy smokes JLH! You are almost ready to pop! Good luck!

Ladies I had a bit of red spotting when i wiped first thing this morning. I was soooooo upset woke up DH...im sooo worried now second beta is today. Still have some light cramping...I am praying soooo hard that its nothing

 

[Luciola]

Congratulations Chris and Babywish!! I am really happy for you. A bit jealous as well since I can't do transfer this cycle, only next year due to RE's availability.

I have by the way got the final fert report today: out of 11 fertilised, only 4 made to blast, 3 frozen on Day 5, and 1 on Day 6. The grades are: one 4AA, three 4BB. the rest either arrested development or were too fragmented.

I am a little disappointed to be honest, I was hoping for at least 5-6 or more... But at least 4 of them made to freeze.

Now I am waiting impatiently for my turn to FET!

I am praying so hard for you babywish! The whole process is like video games, you pass a level, level after level, before you can win eventually. You will be fine girl, I know it is hard to relax, but our prayers are much stronger....

 

[Maverick007]

babywish, praying right now that you and the baby are OK...i know how scary that must be. try to take it easy until you see the doc...sending lots of hugs your way!

 

[Maverick007]

Luc, that is a wonderful result, so happy you have made it this far! 4 frozen is more than average, so be proud of your little guys (or gals!) Keep us posted when you are getting ready to do your FET.

 

[baby.wish]

Thanks guys...
I'm trying not to stress out and relax. My DH is getting very upset as I have to try and stay positive.

Maverick I love your updated pic, such a clear picture of your little one

 

[PinkPeony]

Baby.wish - I know no one wants to see spotting, but most likely it's nothing. Could be implantation... Or just random. It's super common to have a bit of bleeding during early preg. Praying for you.

Luc - 4 blasts is an amazing result! Seriously that's really good. It's all about quality! My clinic has a 60% success rates if you produce 3+ blasts.

 

[Bma11]

Ladies, I have a personal question for you how long did you have to wait before your RE gave you go ahead to have intercourse again? Are we supposed to wait till first ultrasound??

My RE wouldn't let me until after 8 weeks.

And I hope the bleeding is nothing and the betas rise!!!

thanks so much everybody, i really value your support!! the u/s went super well, everything is measuring on time, healthy (as far as an u/s can tell at least), and it's a girl!

Congrats maverick!!! So happy for you!

 

[Maverick007]

Thanks bma!! Good to hear from you, I hope you're feeling great! I'll go check your journal out.

 

[StayHopeful]

Congrats, babywish, and sorry to hear about the spotting! It doesn't necessarily mean anything bad though, especially around this time with implantation. I know how terrifying it can be and how hard it is to relax, hopefully your next beta will give you some peace of mind. As far as DTD, my doctor had us wait until after our 1st ultrasound but at that point I was so sick, then we had the low-lying placenta issue... so it ended up being well into my 2nd trimester before we did again.

Chris, congratulations! FX for good beta numbers!

Luciola, 4 is great! Sorry to hear that you have to wait, but FET will give your body time to rest up and recover before your little embryos find a home in there.

 

[Strawberry13]

Luc-4 is great please don't stress about it, it's a lot more than me and a lot if the other girls with success stories on here have had. It sounds so cheesy but really it only takes one!

Babywish I definitely wouldn't worry about the bleeding as the others said. I may have missed a post but did you get your beta from today yet? I'm hoping for great news!!

 

[baby.wish]

Ladies second beta was 400! I think thats an ok number?? I'm in shock, I cannot believe i'm pregnant. Why do I still feel so nervous???

 

[Strawberry13]

That is awesome!!! I think it's a great number. Try to relax and enjoy it.. Though I know in these early days it is hard not to worry. Congrats!

Aw thank you! You will be doing it before you know it! Don't stress about how many you have left because that's a great amount still! I think we had a similar count? I had 23 eggs retrieved and by day 5 I transfered 2 and had 3 left to freeze!
