Anyone doing FET/IVF in Jan 2013 till everyone's BFP (Everyone Welcome)

[Sandy83]

BabyD, I'm so sorry for what you are having to go through the waiting must be horrible. thinking of you at this hard time, sorry i'm not able to help with the advice I've never got to the point of having a positive from a cycle. You seem to have the right attitude stay positive

 

[Sandy83]

So I saw the FS this morning about my lining and it is now 8.1mm down from 10.6 on Monday? But my estrogen is increasing, it went from 160 to 400s, so what is going on? Has anyone else had issues with their lining not growing during a FET?

Ali, During my last FET my lining went up and down each check i had, they were more concerned about the triple line structure than the thickness as much. I don't think you have anything to worry about as its above 7mm think it's quite common but hard not to worry about it!

Oh BabyD, I am so sad for you. I haven't been through what you're going through and can't imagine how you must feel. I'm praying for that miracle to happen over the weekend where everything turns around for you.

 

[L4hope]

BanyD I'm so sorry you are getting this news and have the limbo over the weekend. I was prob a week or maybe a little farther along than you when I miscarried. I opted for taking methotrexate rather than waiting for it to happen on its own. They insert the medicine vaginally and you will pass everything within 24 hours. It's an indescribable and horrible experience, but I was glad to just get it over with. I don't know that you would have as much tissue to pass though. Either way it's one of the worst experiences and I'm so sorry!

 

[Sandy83]

L4, is it your scan today? xx

 

[FirstTry]

BabyD: I'm so sorry this is happening to you The same thing happened to me. One good sign is that she sees the black dot; that might mean it's not ectopic. I chose to get a D&C, so I didn't have to see it come out and didn't have to wait. My D&C was Dec 17 and my FET is March 6, so a little less than 3 months later.

Again, I'm so sorry for you. You will be sad, but hope will return again soon

AFM, I'm waiting to get my lining checked. There's a long line this morning at the RE's office.

 

[L4hope]

Sandy, thanks for asking. Scan is today in about 2 and a half hours. I'm so stinking nervous!

 

[Sandy83]

L4, everything will go well. Can't wait to hear how many are in there!!!!! How exciting will be watching out for your post! xx

Thank you everyone for the kind words.. I hate this waiting phase. On monday they'll have a better idea of what i need to do.... I'll be 6 weeks on monday. Does it feel like a period? Or did anyone cramp or see anything in the blood? So if I miscarry soon.. when could I expect to do the FET.. april/may?

 

[Babiesimready]

BabyD I'm so sorry this is happening...I can imagine how bad this feels. Hang in there and I applaud your courage.

L4- GOodluck on your scan today!

Everyone else

I would think no earlier than May. It depends on what protocol the dr uses. Mine was a long protocol including 18 days of BCPs.

AFM, 12.8mm triple lining!

Thanks Sandy! We'll see what it looks like on Monday. Hopefully it will be nice and thick and a triple line

BabyD - so sorry to hear that you are in limbo like you are. Hopefully you get the answers you need on Monday.

L4 - looking forward to hearing how your scan goes!!! Good luck!

She said they wait for my next AF.. then either piggyback my natural ovulation or put me on estrogen for two weeks then pick the day that they but the embryo in. She said the estrogen protocol is more guaranteed than the natural one.. I just hope it is all over with soon..

Nice lining First! WOOHOO!

BabyD- I'm doing the estrogen protocol for a trial FET now. I've had some minor side effects, mostly giant sore boobs, bloating and swelling in my abdomen, feet and hands, and emotional! I have been at silly things like seeing babies on TV and annoying TV commercials. So it is bearable!

Yeah, I just finished the 2 weeks of estrogen AFTER 3 weeks of BCP and AF. So, your protocol looks about 3 weeks shorter than mine. So, I'm guessing that two months after m/c you will be PUPO again

Baby - I'm so sorry, how awful for you to be going through this. With previous mc I got to about 7 weeks. It was a bit more painful than normal period but I just didn't really allow myself to think about the blood and what it was...

Thinking of you..

Xx

Everhopeful- when did you get ur next period after that? And how long did u bleed for with the m/c?

Sorry for those on our other thread..but I wanted to vent to my ladies here too.

So I'm home from the RE... my number and sono shows that I will probably miscarry soon. She thinks she may see a small dot on the screen... but not certain its not ectopic... so I have to go back monday for more bloods and sono to see where it is. My husband still thinks we will be in that 2% group that somehow have a baby with horrible beginnings, but the doctor said be prepared to miscarry. I cried hysterically on and off since we left. I'm kind of numb now- scared to see the blood. DH says it'll just be like a period- but knowing your bleeding out what could have been your first child, just is so sad. The RE said the good thing is that I was able to get pregnant so that our chances with a FET would be good. She said I'd have to wait until I miscarry then about 4-5 weeks after i should expect AF.. and that cycle is the one we do FET.. So April I'm guessing if I miscarry soon? I dont want to seem like I"m rushing this one away... just trying to look toward a brighter next few months. Anyone who has unfortunately gone through this have any idea of timeline? When did you get AF after you miscarried. Andd...how long did you bleed for? Sorry if this is heavy for some people.. just venting.. I need it. I'm also sorry I haven't done personals... i will when I can think straight.

Really sorry this is happening, I mc in April last year and it was really quick and painless ( not emotionally ) I had a couple of brown spots then 24 hours later passed the sac I was 7 weeks but it stopped growing at 4-5 in a way I found it easier knowing it never had a heartbeat. I was on my own ( husband was away with work ) and I can say the worst part is flushing the toilet after so have someone with you . All in all I bled for two days then my stomach was flat and it was like it never happened. Hopefully you won't need this info and your husbands right xxxxx

 

[everhopeful]

Baby, my mc lasted about 9 days and then next period was 42 days later. I've kept a journal so I just looked back.

AFM - just got a call from my fs. I have elevated NK cells... Going in on Wednesday for my endometrium scrape and a chat about treatment during my FET. Very very glad I had the blood test now and that we didn't waste any more good embies!! Xx
