3 failed IUIs. How do you cope?

[summer2011]

Awe Luciola, that's so exciting. I can't wait to be able to pick things out and start a nursery.

Willow - that is not a bad number post wash - remember they are sticking them almost all the way to the goal.

AFM - only 3 eggs survived fertilization - so I have 3 embies that I am hoping grow nice and strong! Transfer is Friday at 1pm.

 

[Dini]

Moni three is a good number! It's a lucky one Good luck!

 

[summer2011]

How are things going Moni?? Hope your transfer goes well today.

 

[moni77]

Well the transfer went well but it is not promising. Only one embryo made it and it still was nota blastocyst. So my chances that it will continue and stick is about 20%. Trying to behopeful but it ishard.

 

[summer2011]

Have everything crossed for you. It only takes one!

Moni I was in the same boat. 15 eggs retrieved, 3 fertilized, only one made it to transfer and the quality was only just ok. I was heartbroken and sure it wouldn't work, but it did. I feel very hopeful for you!

 

[Maverick007]

Moni, stay hopeful...I know it's so hard. We are all wishing the very best for you!

 

[StayHopeful]

Hang in there, moni! Keeping everything crossed for you!

 

[moni77]

Thanks everyone!

 

[Dini]

Moni, don't give up yet, as you see it can still happen, and a 20% chance is better than nothing! Keeping you in my thoughts!!

Afm, my Dr. appt is Tuesday morning and I'm getting nervous. My last set of labs came back very good, so I'm hopeful but not getting my hopes up ya know? So far these are all my labs...

18dpo HCG 405, Progesterone 9.7 (started prometrium)
22dpo HCG 2301, Progesterone 40
28dpo HCG 16,513 Progesterone 52

No more labs ordered so far since I see the Dr. Tuesday and I'm praying for a scan, I really don't know if they will or not...so keeping fingers crossed they do, I'll be heartbroken if they don't.

 

[SashimiMimi]

Let us know how you're feeling Moni. Are you takin any time off during the TWW? I took a week off after my transfer and stayed in bed and watched all of Arrested Development on Netflix. I found it helped to laugh, it really took my mind off things!!

 

[moni77]

I am back at work today - but I am pretty much just at my desk this week and with the end of the summer it should be a relatively stress free week!

Excited for your appointment tomorrow Dini!!

My stomach has been funny since last week and I have been very gassy - not sure if it is a result of the hormones (on progesterone shots) or transfer or if I just ate something that didn't agree with me. Other than that I feel fine.

 

[Dini]

I feel ya on the gassy thing Moni! Hopefully you get to have a relaxing week!!

I can't wait for my appt tomorrow, I am totally prepared to beg for a scan, for some reason I just have a feeling I won't be getting one for some reason. I'll let you know tomorrow morning!

 

[summer2011]

Saw little gummy bear again today
It was hard for the doc to get a good pic cause I still have a lot of abdominal fluid from the ohss, but we saw bears little heartbeat and the shape looks more human now. Lol.

 

[Dini]

Great news summer!! Moni how are you??

 

[moni77]

Still waiting... gassiness is gone, but I have had a headache the last couple of days. And boy did that progesterone shot hurt this morning!

We decided to go in for the beta on Sunday and let the results go to voice mail and listen to them together on Monday.

Hope you get that scan today - I would think you would!

 

[Dini]

I didn't get the scan yesterday but they scheduled me for one today in just over 2 hours and DH gets to come this time because he's off work, I'm so nervous and scared something will be wrong, but also so excited because if all is good I get to see a heartbeat!

 

[SashimiMimi]

Hang in there Moni! You have great will power not to listen to the message right away! I'm feeling very hopeful for you!!! Gosh I remember how uncomfortable those progesterone shots were. I had to continue mine for the first 12 weeks and I calculated that I did over 200 injections total for my IVF cycle.

Dini that's great your husband can come with you to the scan!! Just remember there is no reason for anything to be wrong. It will be a great experience for both of you!

 

[Dini]

Scan went really well! Baby is looking good, measured at 6w4d and that's really where I should be because based on my O date I'd be 6w6d, so pretty spot on. Heart rate was 127, which is perfect! Almost cried when we saw that heart fluttering! The pic isn't great quality, but it looks like a jelly bean so that's what I'm calling it!

On a not so good note, my stupid washer died tonight, it won't go into the spin cycle..and according to the things I've ready it's a bad part that's causing it and it'll cost about $300 or more to fix, so DH will go look for a new on tomorrow because I've had it 10 years and it was a new model that they never continued making it because of problems so getting that many years out of i was good I suppose. We really don't have the money to spend though...we need to pay on our medical bills but that will have to wait lol.
