3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Strawberry13]

Well I have to say I'm starting to feel outnumbered on here with all of the preggos... But that's a good thing! How is everyone feeling?

So I've been on stims for 3 days and had my first sono this morning. He said I had one at 13, 2 at 11, and a bunch more that weren't far behind. Then he said that the ER could be as early as this weekend and I was like, what?! I just started on Saturday. But I guess bc I didn't do bcp my follies are growing really fast. Either way I think it's good bc I won't be on stims too long.

Wow this weekend! How exciting this is happening so fast!

Strawberry, wow that's awesome progress! I never realized that eliminating the bcp step would allow things to move faster...but logically it makes sense. It sounds very positive so far, feeling very hopeful for you!!

I'm feeling okay, less nauseous today than the past two weeks so I'll take what I can get. No throwing up for me thankfully, just feeling like a lot of foods are unappealing and make me want to gag. Hoping to see new OB by the 20th!

 

[Strawberry13]

Yeah I hope that its good news, the doctors really don't let on what's good or not. That's good at least you're not vomiting... When is your next sono?

Chris yes it is moving quickly and you won't be far behind!

I think it's definitely good and they can always slow you down if you got moving too quickly.

I don't know when the next scan would be...this OB said she'd probably see me at 9 weeks which is the 20th so I'm hoping an u/s is in the cards at that appt.

 

[Strawberry13]

Question for ivf veterans- did you get nauseous while on stims? I'm starting to feel that way now... Hoping its a common side effect that won't get worse!

 

[Maverick007]

do they have you on any antiobiotic yet? i looked back at my notes and i was extremely nauseous on day 9 of my stims but by that point i had started doxycycline to prep for ER.

 

[PinkPeony]

I didn't have any nausea but I think I remember reading that can be a side effect.

Exciting that you're ER is coming up so quickly! Nice too that you don't have to buy more meds. I ended up over budget on mine lol

 

[Strawberry13]

No antibiotics yet. I did read its a side effect too but I just hope I'm not over stimulating. Maybe I'll call the dr.

 

[Maverick007]

Pink do you have your beta today??

 

[PinkPeony]

ugh Yes!! Still waiting for them to call with the result!! I'm losing it.

I was over the moon yesterday and now I'm all paranoid that something's going to be wrong. (of course)

 

[Maverick007]

waiting for those phone calls is pure torture!! i felt that same way for every single one of them. don't worry though...your test line was way darker than the control line which means it should be a pretty high #!

 

[PinkPeony]

They called! Finally!!! My number is 2194! That's pretty high I think?... That's for 14dp5dt....

 

[Maverick007]

yes that's very high!! awesome!! i didn't get a beta at 14dp5dt but i got one at 12 and at 16 ... at 16dp5dt it was 2862 and we know it's just one, so you may very likely have twins!!

 

[SashimiMimi]

Amazing! So happy for you pink!!!

 

[Strawberry13]

Awesome news!! Definitely could be twins😀😀

 

[baby.wish]

Great news Pink! Thats a really high number, fingers crossed its twins!!

 

[StayHopeful]

Great news, Pink! My 2nd beta was 2000 at 16dp5dt, twins are definitely a possibility for you!

Strawberry, glad things are moving so quickly for you! I didn't get nauseous on stims but I took my antibiotic earlier than Mav did.

Maverick, can't wait to hear how your next ultrasound goes!

My ultrasound today went well, baby was moving around like crazy and has a strong heartbeat. It turns out I'm not doing so hot, however. I haven't been able to keep anything down since Sunday night and when I went in today, I was so dehydrated that they immediately started me on an IV in the office and I have to take off work the rest of the week and rest so my body can recharge. I go back in again on Thursday to see if my blood levels are coming back up.

 

[Maverick007]

wow...get some rest and recuperation girl! hope you start to really feel better soon. can they do anything else for you other than this medicine that doesn't seem to be helping that much?

also sooo happy to hear the baby is doing great!!

 

[PinkPeony]

Yikes! That sounds pretty scary and unpleasant Stay. Glad to hear the baby is wiggling around. That must be amazing to see. Take good care of yourself. I hope the nausea goes away.
