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

[ttcbaby117]

Lotus - Oh no hun....I am so sorry to hear this!!!! I will be praying that is ok.

It seems that ectopic's are more common in IVF than ppl think. I have seen this happen more and more often. When first reading I saw that ectopics were rare in IVF. If the dr puts the embie in the right place...why does it swim up the tube? Oh just another thing to worry about.

Lotus I am so sorry to hear that. I hope surgery goes well and that you are ok. I just wish things would go easier.

ttc actually the risk is double from the risk of non-ivf pregnancies. Its like 4 % vs 1-2 %. Pt who have tubal issues, endometrosis and previous ectopic pg have the highest chance. Its a misconception that ectopic risk is lower

Lotus I'm soooo sorry, I hope you get better. Having fluid in the pelvic area can cause too much pain. Your health is the most important factor and I pray they're able to clean things up and get you back on track again...feel better soon.

So sorry Lotus! I hope that your surgery goes well and you physically heal quickly. I know the rest will take time. Know that you have support here.

Lotus - I'm so so sorry you're going through this. I hope you have a speedy recovery and you guys can get back to trying to build your family

Mo - yay for getting AF! It's about time girl!

I know for sure I'm missing people but I've really only scanned through the last couple of pages. I hope you're all doing well and you're all in my thoughts!

So much going on here. Hard to keep up!

Lotus, big hugs to you dear.

I have my WTF appt on 28 Mar, hopefully some answers on what to do next.

Thinking of you all!

I was just admitted to the hospital. I'm in a room waiting for the Dr and will be having surgery in a few hours. They found a lot of fluid (most likely blood) in my pelvic area because the tube is most likely rupturing. Hcg went from 4072 two days ago to 5119, and nothing was seen in the uterus today, so it is not progressing like a normal pregnancy. We are absolutely devastated, but want to make sure I am ok and are just looking toward the future, probably a year from now, when we can try again. Much love, ladies! Will update later.

Oh no!! So sorry to hear this. Thank goodness your DH is with you. Thinking of you...

 

[Turkey16]

Oh Lotus, I'm so sorry. Glad your DH is with you. Wishing you a safe and quick recovery.

Turkey - I asked my OB yesterday all of my "vanity" questions - hair colour, nail colour. She said all is safe and will not reach or harm the baby. The biggest concern with computing hair while pregnant is that some may fall out. That being said, I have waited until I'm in my 2nd trimester and am only getting highlights - being overly cautious. April 6 is my salon day - wash this grey right out of my hair!!

To everyone getting started - good luck!!

Great info...thanks for sharing. I am with you as far as being overly cautious while pregnant, or even PUPO, but I have no idea what is ok when it comes to stimming. Did you color your hair while on your meds?? It sounds like your OB thinks its ok...maybe I'll ask my RE while I'm there on Friday...

 

[ttcbaby117]

Mobaby - thanks for telling me, I had no idea ectopics were higher in Ivf pregnancies.

I didn't while stimming. Not that it was planned, but I had my hair done the month before so was all good and didn't need it. I always go to an Aveda salon and have never had any issues. Mostly concerned with the smell.

I think it's the European equivalent of follistim, or gonal f

 

[Flowermal]

Yup I think Alicatt is right

I'm sorry I haven't done personals, I promise I will catch up with everyone soon. The surgery went fine, although they did have to remove my left tube, which had the "mass" in it and had also been blocked previously by endometriosis. I don't know if they figured out if it was the embryo in the tube, but I'm sure it was. What else could it be if I had high HCG numbers and it had a blood supply? I am in a lot of pain physically and emotionally, and so glad my honey is here with me, although I think he will have to leave in a few days. He really needs to go back ASAP to make sure it doesn't look like he is taking advantage of the people he is working for. Reputation is everything with those folks. So... I am planning to do lots of yoga once I am cleared to exercise and use that time to get my mind and body back. I'm also doing research on finding companies that provide IVF coverage to their employees. I am desperate to try again and we can't take out more loans to pay for it. This IF stuff is so unfair. I am feeling extremely angry and frustrated that we have to go through so much to do such a natural thing.

I hope you are all well. Good luck to those who are stimming and congrats to those whose pregnancies are progressing.

Women on this forum are just so strong...like so strong.
Lotus sorry about the ectopic...I hope you can dust yourself off and try again, you'll soon have your forever baby

 

[FirstTry]

I'm thinking about you, Lotus. What a difficult time. I hope that you have a speedy recovery

 

[BabyD225]

Lotus- I can't imagine what you're going through. I'm so sorry you had to experience and ectopic... but I'm happy you're relieved of pain finally. I think it's a grea idea to keep looking for companies that give great insurance- I've thought of that as well. Hugs to you through a speedy recovery. xo

As for what's going on with me... I will upload a picture of my current sonogram.. My baby is measuring 6 days behind.. still a sign of something wrong. The heartbeat went up to 153bpm. I went to my regular OBGYN instead of the RE. I'm so comfortable with him and I just needed a second opinion for peace of mind. I left the RE on Tuesday hysterically crying. The waiting for miscarriage or success is just torture. Going to my OB made me so much more relaxed. He said, let's be optimistic.. there is a 50/50 shot. At around 10-11 weeks if it is still going we will be doing testing to see if we can find a chromosomal abnormality. I see him again next Friday... so just more waiting and wishing.
