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

[Sandy83]

Flowermal congratulations on being PUPO. Sorry to hear you have no frosties but these 2 could be your forever baby so try to stay positive! When is your OTD? Will you be testing early? xx

 

[Flowermal]

Thanks Sandy! OTD is on the 19th.. Still haven't decided if I will test early.. Maybe on the morning of OTD?

Ladies I'm having cramps and my right ovary still feels very sore.. Is this normal? Also I just peed (sorry tmi) and it was a little painful.. Not sure if it was due the procedure as my Dr had to in a way force the opener in cos my cervix is high

 

[Sandy83]

Flowermal, I would say it's very normal to feel sore and tender after what your body has been through over the last week and if the Dr had to force as you say then that could be the reason why it hurts when you pee. If you still feel the same in a day or 2 then i would call the Dr xx

 

[Flowermal]

Thanks so much Sandy.. Yea will do as you say should the discomfort persist

 

[WannabeeMum]

Flower - congrats on being PUPO!

Ali and Turkey - your conversations make me laugh

 

[Turkey16]

Ali, Great news on not ovulating! Hope the Dr calls first thing how frustrating Fx'd for you

AFM, Feel like I'm having another full AF this month as if one isn't bad enough all i can think is my AF that started on 24th March was just the start of it as it was a pretty normal AF (as normal as can be) but not to heavy but this one is quite heavy (sorry TMI). So haven't a clue what cycle day I'm on or anything Hopefully the FS will be able to shed some light on the situation next week xx

Hi Sandy! 2 AFs is definitely NOT FAIR!! Hopefully you'll get some answers next week...

Heya, just got back from ET.. Transferred 2 embies..
However am bumped cos we don't have any frosties..however doc assured us that the 2 embies were perfect so these are the only 2 we have.. Trying really hard to stay positive..

I'm in the same boat Flowermal, and the doc is right...they picked the cream of the crop for you, and that's what matters. When I found out we had no frosties, I was bummed, but after googling like a madwoman I realized that in a good clinic, the criteria for freezing is SUPER high, so if they had been frozen, chances are they wouldn't have led to a successful pregnancy anyway, and that's just another boatload of heartache, SO...stay positive and take care of yourself. I was a little sore afterward too, and definitely crampy. My doc said bed rest for 48 hours, but I've been lounging for the past five days!!! Just take care of YOU!!! Fingers, toes and EVERYTING crossed for you!!!!

Ooooh!! I forgot! Peeing was DEFINITELY an issue for me too...for at least the first 24 hours. It felt like I would never stop peeing!!! I felt like I always had to go...lots of pressure. Not painful...just pressure!! One more thing...if you are taking progesterone, for the love of God, please drink tons of water. The constipation (Sorry people...TMI) has been a serious issue! Such a glamorous place we find ourselves in huh ladies???

Flower all, congrats on being PUPO! It only takes one good one to make a forever baby!

 

[Sandy83]

Mells, Nice to hear from you how you doing? xx

 

[MoBaby]

Flower congrats on being pupo!! Yay!
Sandy yuck for afx2... I felt like the never ending af before I went on bcp so I know how much it sucks to have bleeding again. Hopefully it only last a day or two and goes away! I wonder what cd you are also since it came back? Maybe the clinic can do an ultrasound and bloodwork to determine that.

 

[Sandy83]

Mo, I'm hoping they will be able to do a scan or something to tell. I've started thinking tho is it my bodies way of telling me to slow down and have a break from the IVF or if this is totally normal guess I'll find out next week xx

Morning Ladies!!!

Flowermal - yay for being PUPO, don't be upset about not having frosties, as Turkey said they will only freeze really good quality ones and if they don't meet that criteria then it isn't worth freezing. They put the best ones back and you have a great chance of seeing that BFP! Don't feel pressured to test, for some they absolutely have to test, and others need to wait until the OTD. So do what feels right for you! I have been a POAS addict in the past, and I think I'm going to let it ride this time and wait until at least the morning of OTD. We'll see if I can do it!

Turkey - how are you feeling? You are right the discomfort is normal after ET, but it should go away quickly, like within 24 hours. I too had constipation issues, but I think it was due to the anesthesia at ER? I used some natural stool softeners to help and believe me it was worth it!

Sandy - sorry for AF round 2! No fun I am pretty sure that between an US and blood work they can pinpoint where you are in your cycle so hopefully they will do that when you go in so you can plan on your next cycle!

Mells - nice to hear from you, you are you doing?

WannabeeMum - I figure we need some laughter around here, so much of IVF is sad and dreary, so I try to take a lighter attitude, life is short, so let's make the most of it right?

Ever - isn't it transfer day? Wohoo!! GL, FX'd for a smooth one!!!

AFM - got the results this morning.. e2 = 69 and p4 = 0.4 no wonder they were confused, shouldn't my e2 be higher considering I'm on estrogen patches? With a p4 that low I definitely didn't ovulate. So my FS is saying lets do it! Biopsy is scheduled for Monday morning. Then we'll make changes for the real FET, with the addition of Lupron and also acupuncture, so that will help I hope! I'm relieved, I was so worried we would have to do yet ANOTHER trial So this is good news!

 

[Sandy83]

Woo Hoo Ali great news lets get this trial underway!

Glad someone has a good memory Good luck for today Ever Fx'd for you. PUPO very soon. Thanks for the reminder Ali. I haven't a clue what day I'm on with the easter break and being off work for a couple of days! xx

 

[Flowermal]

Thanks for the support ladies!
Yep I guess I should just take it that the best have gone in eh..

I'm not on pessaries, instead Dr has me n Pregnyl shots once every 3 days.. She decided to increase my support after the transfer

Must somehow keep myself busy these 2 weeks.. Will be more active on these threads haha

Ali: all the bet for your biopsy certainly good news!

Ever: all the best for your transfer!

Turkey: haha you're funny! Thank for the tip on drinking.. The last thing I need right now is to be constipated... What a position indeed lol

 

[ttcbaby117]

Ali that is such awesome news!!!! Please let us know how it all goes on Monday!

 

[MoBaby]

Yay Ali!!!!! Awesome news!!

I got a call today saying fet is scheduled for April 22 (the call was from the financial coordinator?)... That seems way to far out as it would be cd35! My lining will be too thick by then I feel like? Should I call the nurse to explain this or just wait until Monday when I go for lining scan? It's two weeks from the lining scan which I feel like is far too late in the cycle. This just doesn't sound right to me.

Mo.. that doesn't sound right but then again when they are controlling your cycle with meds they can make it as long or short as they want. My FS let it drop that they don't schedule FETs or biopsies on the weekends since the estrogen and progesterone allow them to control them. So maybe your FS is on holiday the week before? I should have started PIO on Saturday ideally, but they postponed it until today so they could do the biopsy on Monday. So maybe they are doing the same thing to you? I think the key is to ensure that your lining holds and then to start PIO shots 5-6 days before FET. Definitely discuss it on Monday when you go in. The PA and the Dr will be able to explain how and why that date is appropriate. From my experience the other people in the office will not be able to help you get a better understanding of why they are waiting so long.

TTC - yes I'm very happy that I'm able to go through this the biopsy. Let's get the show on the road!!!

 

[MoBaby]

My office doesn't have a PA just the MD and RN but I may call and ask if that is right. I guess the meds do control things but I really don't want my lining to be super thik by then as it would affect implantation. I think they are counting cd1 as estrace start day which it was cd6 actually. Thanks for the info Ali. If my re is away I will not let any other re do the transfer so maybe that's it?
