3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[Luciola]

Baby wish congratulations on your being PUPO! I am so hoping you and your husband will be celebrating his birthday with a good surprise!

Stay again congratulations on your team blue! happy for you...

I am so nervous about my retrieval! I have been googling like crazy about my skyrocket E2 level and if it impacts on egg quality. Worse, hubby said that my tummy is bigger! Geez I hope everything will be fine. It has been a so bumpy journey, everything for a bump!

Chris, I used Crinone after my IVF transfer. I definitely had the same issues, my FS said it was normal. The nurse also told me that some, um, buildup ends up in there (sorry if tmi) and that you kind of need to clean it out with your finger every day or two.

Baby.wish, you WILL get your chance to have a gender reveal party and I can't wait to hear about it!

Luciola, try not to drive yourself crazy! Good luck with ER!!!

Stay - meant to say that's fantastic you're having a boy. Such a cute way to reveal it. It looks like we'll be finding out pretty close to xmas so we might get the technician to put the genders in 2 envelopes and then open them on xmas morning. I stole that idea from a lady on one of the pregnancy boards.

Luci, I don't think those levels are too crazy high. It definitely indicates you'll have lots of follicles. Good luck on your retreival!

Stayhopeful- congrats!!! that's so exciting, yay for boys! soo happy for you.

Babywish, you are in the home stretch now prayers for a low stress 2ww and especially for a happy birthday gift for your husband's bday!!

Chris, relieved to hear you are starting to feel a bit better, let us know what the doc says later today...

luc- keep hanging in there, i pray things are all good!

Chris, i did crinone as well and had the burning also. try to ask your doc if they would let you switch to an evening dose? i originally took mine in the a.m. and it would burn so bad. i found that taking it at night helped enormously. i did temporarily switch to the PIO shots but the pain from those got to be too much (and i think i hit a nerve one time) so staying on crinone if you can would be ideal.

Thank you ladies. Everything went well and a lot of the fluid went away! He didn't really want to transfer 2 because of the possibility that if I got pregnant with twins the ohss can get worse. So he said he would only transfer one. So we compromised and he transferred a grade A+ and a B+ embryo. So I am officially PUPO with 2! I'm excited and nervous

 

[Maverick007]

Chris, woohoo!! That's great news!

Chris, woohoo!! That's great news!

So glad it went so well! Watch for those ohss symptoms coming back towards the end of the tww.

Thank you! The doctor told me if the ohss symptoms get worse there's a high chance of pregnancy. Which I'm hoping for lol but he said if they don't that still doesn't mean that your not.
I don't know how I am going to get through these 9 days!

 

[PinkPeony]

It aint easy! The tww is the toughest part.

So for me I had no symptoms at all. I even came on here midway through the wait and was telling these ladies it was a bust. Then just a few days before OTD my ohss type symptoms came back. I never had anything full-blown, just that feeling of the ovaries being swollen and ouchy.

Thank you for the advice. I am just so scared, excited so many emotions!

 

[Luciola]

Respect to ladies on pupo! I know how scary it must be. Some positive thoughts like a baby in your arms might help!

I am still sitting in bed in the recovery room. Just done my retrieval and it went well. They managed to get 15 eggs. Tomorrow we will know how many are mature and how many are fertilised.

I am praying hard!

 

[PinkPeony]

15 eggs is fantastic!! Good luck! It's tough waiting on that phone call.

 

[StayHopeful]

15 eggs is great, Luciola! FX for a great fertilization report tomorrow.

Chris, I had OHSS at the end of stims and right after ER, but it never did come back during my tww and I ended up with really high beta numbers. So even if the symptoms don't come back, it doesn't mean you're out.

Ok thank you that puts my mind at ease at least because I know I will be on the look out for the ohss pains lol

Chris I hope your OHSS will pass soon. I just bought litres of isotonic drink and feed myself glass after glass

 

[baby.wish]

Chris you and I are PUPO together! To me this is definately the hardest part. I'd take injections over this wait any day.

Its the strangest thing, with every other cycle (iuis, 1st IVF) my breasts felt really swollen sometimes sore and I felt bloated. With this cycle, nothing in fact they feel smaller if thats possible. Makes me think its a bust Its just so strange. Any of you ladies who did an Frozen cycle feel this way? Usually the progesterone gets to me but not this time. Could it be the estrace as this is the first time i'm taking it in conjunction with the progesterone.

Wish I could just go to sleep and wake up on beta day after I get a BFP hahaha

I would take the injections any day as well! Lol
I honestly have barely any boob pain either which is weird because usually they kill me. I mean they hurt but nothing like usual. Especially being on all the medications.
I wish they would put us to sleep and wake us up when pregnant lol

Thank you! The fluid in my belly got much better I've been drinking and peeing like crazy!
