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

[alicatt]

Hi everyone.

So, today's test is the same or lighter than yesterday's. I'm guessing it will be a chemical, which is better than a long, drawn out m/c.

I know we could use some more good news on this thread, but I don't think I can help right now.

First.. your urine might not have been as concentrated this morning. So I wouldn't worry too much yet. See what the coming days hold and think positive!

Turkey: I also had slight headaches with Lupron.. But it went aay once I started increasing my intake of water.. Much much better now, it has pretty much gone.. On my 10th day now

Hey Flowermal...thanks for the tip! What other meds are you taking?? I start menopur and gonal-f tomorrow.

Hey Turkey, no other meds for me.. Just finished 21 days of BCPs so awaiting AF.. Next up will be baseline scan

 

[Flowermal]

Lotus: oh my that was a really scary encounter.. Glad to hear that things are getting better.. Please do rest well and do not hesitate to go to the ER if you experience any pain again.. Take care dear

flower - do you start your stims next?

 

[Flowermal]

Ttcbaby: yup next up will be Stims depending on the baseline scans

 

[ttcbaby117]

Gotcha...sounds kinda like what protocol they have me on. I will do BCPs for 21 days wait 5 days and then start stimming.

Oh my goodness!!! I can't even imagine my ob/gyn "refusing" to help! You poor thing...the whole ordeal sounds awful. I'm pretty new to this thread, but I remember reading about your move, and your dogs in particular!! If this is a new doc, I'd definitely start looking for a new one. Is the hospital going to follow up with you? I hate the idea of you sitting around worrying, especially with all the uncertainty, and the lure of the Internet. I think I'd harass my doc as best I could on a Saturday and try to get some answers...

I am definitely looking for a new doc. A nurse suggested I call her Dr, who she LOVES. I'm trying to decide whether to see her doc or find a FS. I guess I should consult my insurance company's website... I don't think the hospital will follow up. They were doing a lot of guessing. Hopefully I will make it to Monday and can get an appt ASAP. On a happy note, my DH is being sent home for a family emergency (me) and will go back later.

Popping in for a quick update. My test was negative. I'm having a hard time keeping faith that this will ever work. We have 3 embies left. 1 is day 5 and 2 are day 6. Not feeling super good about that. Told my clinic we are taking a break. This is it after our FETs. We can't afford another round of IVF.
Taking a couple days off from the thread. But I will be back to support you all, like you have me.
First- thinking of you and crossing everything for you n

So sorry you're going through all of this Lotus! I think either OB or FS would be able to take care of you and figure out what's going on. If the nurse thinks her doc is so wonderful maybe it's a good place to start. It's a tough thing to be going through being in a new place. I'm so glad to hear your hubby is being given leave to come be with you. It will be great for you to have his love and support right now!

 

[L4hope]

Oh Cali I'm so sorry! It's just so unfair. Big big

Cali: Don't give up! It was only your first try at IVF, right? The girls here keep talking about the endometrial scratch as a way to improve implantation. Maybe ask your doctor about that. Day 5 and day 6 embies are great.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Oh Cali! I'm so so sorry. This process is so hard. I wish there were a guarantee. First is right, don't give up! It can still happen.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Lotus - so happy you get to see DH!!!! Praying you find a dr who can take care of you!

Cali - awww hun I am so sorry. take the time you need and we will be here when you are ready! maybe you could ask the RE about trying the endo scratch,. I am doing it this cycle. Also, I think that you have some great frosties. That means they were strong enough to get to day 5 and 6.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Oh man... I think I made a big mistake. I felt like maybe my belly was bothering me this afternoon because I needed to "go", but couldn't. So I drank an entire can of prune juice and a large cup of hot cider. I am seriously regretting that decision.

Yikes! How are you feeling today? Any new developments as far as your hospital visit??

Interesting. I assumed since you we're taking Lupron that you'd have started the stims soon after...I guess there are all sorts of ways to go about it, huh? Today will be my third day of Lupron + menopur + gonal-F. So far so good, but man giving yourself all these shots gets old!!! No major side effects, but this morning some of my muscles feel like I was lifting weights at the gym or something (trust me...that WAS NOT happening!!!). Did AF arrive? She came calling for me the morning after I stopped my BCPs! When is your baseline??

I think the running to the bathroom is over. I really hope so. I had no idea prune juice could have that effect. My pain is pretty much gone, so I am hoping to see something on the ultrasound this week (when I get a new Dr) and we'll go from there. I am just so thankful my husband will be with me for a bit.

Well, I don't know when you officially call it a chemical, but today's FRER and IC are almost completely white. I'm hopeful that this means AF will come soon and we can look forward to doing a fresh IVF cycle with PGS soon.

I have a friend who had 4 m/c's before doing PGS and is now in her second trimester.
