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

[MoBaby]

Edamame: I went today and asked when to start estrace (its cd3) and she said I couldnt start until I have the repeat saline sonogram on Monday (which is CD6).. My paperwork says to start estrace cd2 or 3 so now I am confused. I am worried if all is fine they are going to tell me its now to late in the cycle to start...It wouldnt be too late for a natural FET but I do not know when I ovulate..I think right now its estimated the week of April 15.

Flower- hope stims going well on day 2? When is your first scan?

Ever- looking forward to hearing how your check goes next week, good luck!

Mo- sorry to hear they were so thoughtless again, but glad your were able to work it out with your work. Have they given you an estimated transfer day? I'm sorry if you already told us, I forgot!

Ali- that is great about your lining, bodes well for your real FET!

Turkey, I know nothing about hormone levels but your follie count sounds great, trigger any day now I bet!

First scan is on day 6... Yup day 2 of stimms
Going ok just stings a little after the jab but goes away pretty quickly..
How r u doing?

 

[Edamame]

Mo, I didn't start estrace until after the second lining scan, it was just to help improve the triple pattern in my lining, so hopefully there won't be any change to your current schedule!

Flower, I'm doing ok, thanks- just took my last bcp, blood test next Friday. Having some spotting from yesterday's biopsy, but not too bad.

Thanks, good to know edamamme!

I'm thinking there is more than they are telling me. Pretty sure there is something going on in the uterus and thats why im having the saline sonogram now b/c he told me i didnt beed it. I'm going to voice my concerns Monday as to the lack of communication and unanswered questions and explanations. I'm losing hope for this cycle in April. If he does any other intervention it prob won't be until June.

Hopefully you will get the answers you need on Monday! I know it's maddening having delays, but I'm sure the FS will get to the bottom of the issue and you'll be set for your cycle soon! If he's not very helpful when you see him Monday keep asking questions until you get the information you need. FX'd that whatever it is gets resolved quickly!

Had another appt. today. They thought we were gonna trigger and then have ER on Monday, but after u/s they want to see me again tomorrow morning. Same meds. I didn't get the measurements of the follies, cuz it wasn't my usual RE, but here are my levels:
BLOOD LEVELS:
E2 Level: 1365
LH Level: 2.21
P4 Level: 0.867

E2 is up from 880 yesterday...that's promising right??

Looks good! Another day probably, and you'll be triggering! Then before you know it ER!

Mo - sorry to hear about your lining woes and saline test! I wonder what is going on in there? Why is it still so thick? I hope that you get to talk to the Dr and figure things out! If it were me I'd try to get the test rescheduled so that you aren't driving all over the place. I think sometimes they assume that we can drop everything and come running! I really hope that you get things worked out, and that you can start soon

Ever & Turkey how have your appts gone?

AFM - lining went from 2.4mm on day 3 to 6.9mm on day 6. The Dr was really happy to see my lining he said it looks way better than last time. So hopefully this is a better course of action for me With Passover next week, I don't get to have another lining check until Thursday, so hopefully it stays on course. They also lowered my dose, initially I was supposed to step up to 3 patches on Sunday and then 4 on Wednesday but instead they just want me to do 3 and 3. I guess that makes sense since I'm already at almost 7mm

Hey Ali...so no news for you til Thursday of this week?? Can't wait to hear how your lining looks. What's the next step for you?

It's actually not very exciting. I go in this coming Thursday, they do another lining check, and see how things are looking. Then I guess they do another lining check the following week, maybe Mon/Tues and if all looks good then I think I have the biopsies on Wed and Fri. Or well sometime the firs week of April. Then we WAIT for the results. They take about 10 days, so during that time I should get AF and we should have the results right around CD3 of my next cycle and be ready to go with the REAL FET cycle. If there are issues with my lining they may do a second trial FET using the recommended protocol and do a 3rd biopsy on the recommended transfer day to see if the recommendations work. I'm hoping that everything is GREAT, and we can just move forward with a FET.

Interesting that your right side didn't really do much. Your left is doing very well! The P4 is rising and above 1 now, so they couldn't push you any further, or you'd risk some of the bigger ones becoming too mature. So it is good you are triggering tonight. Perfect timing Now to see how many eggs are retrieved and how many are fertilized. Can't wait for Tuesday!

 

[Flowermal]

Woohoo for triggering Turkey!

 

[Turkey16]

Woohoo for triggering Turkey!

Thanks!!! Literally JUST did it. Anybody else's DH turn into a bit of a jerk during this whole process?? Yikes. I've found everything so far to be relatively ok, but he's a mess...is it the stress or is he just a jerk (or is it my hormones that I thought I had totally in check?!?!?). Sigh.

 

[WannabeeMum]

Yeah for triggering! Can't wait to hear how your retrieval transfer go. Are you putting one or two in??

As for DH - mine was a superstar through the whole thing. He had to give me all of my needles (I'm a big baby) and was patient through all of my psychobabble and tears. Hopefully it will pass for you when you when you see that little embryo placed inside you.

 

[everhopeful]

Turkey - congrats for triggering! So close now!! X

 

[Em260]

Turkey - yay for trigger!! I found myself bickering more with DH and maybe being a little too sensitive due to the hormones. DH definitely wasn't himself either due to the stress. The best thing for us was to sit down and discuss it all. Lots of luck for your retrieval tomorrow!!

Ali - sounds like things are moving along better this time. Fx everything continues to go on schedule and you can move forward with your real FET!

Mo - I'm sorry your clinic is giving you the run around. Hope everything goes well today with your saline sono!

AFM - DH and I were away for a week vacation in Miami. It was much needed and now I'm recharged and ready for another cycle in April. We're going to try one more IUI and then move on to IVF #3 in May.

 

[Sandy83]

Turkey, Yay for Trigger it's all go from here and will be PUPO very soon! Good luck for ER tomorrow

Em, Good to hear from you glad you have had a nice holiday, Fx'd for your next IUI

xx

My husband has been a complete jerk...I didnt use dh because theres nothing darling about him, we got into a heated arguement and he basically insinuated that I was whore even though he didnt say it directly, just because when we first met I didnt tell him I slept with my ex because he was a past I never wanted to remember plus I wasnt comfy disclosing that info to him then cause I just met him, but after we got married, I couldnt stand not letting him know so I told him myself...worst mistake of my life. Since then every arguement we have he brings it up...this same guy cheated on me with 2 women 2 months before our wedding but I forgave him and he has the nerves to call me names.

I got reallly upset and threw the water I was drinking at him then he called the cops on me and said I hit him. I'm very angry plus my hormones are not helping me much right now but I'm glad i'm out of his sight because its the best thing to do right now. Just want to vent sorry ladies.
