Morning Ladies

TTC, So Sorry to hear about your delay, hopefully they can sort things out for you soon!

Ali, Fx'd for you and hope you will be moving forward very soon.

Turkey, woo hoo yay! Fx'd for you numbers doubling tomorrow

AFM, Sorry for not posting yesterday was out catching up witht he girls so never got in till late! Well WTF appt went well. They have said there is no really answer to why this hasn't worked as all test have came back normal and they are happy with how I'm responding to the treatment. So plan for moving forward is continue with same protocol as before and start buserelin on 22nd April then planned in for ER on 29th May so the ball is rollling! xx

Sandy - it's so great that you have your plan and ball is rolling. I'm glad all tests are great and this is after all a game of odds. Next time the odds will be on your side!!!! Xx

Quick Question for you Ladies

I've got a spa day booked for my 30th on 1st June obviously my ER is 29th May so if i have 3 day transfer will be on that day so that's a no to being pampered but if i have a 5 day transfer (which is what i had last time) that will be the Monday. So my question is if i get a 5 day transfer am i still able to attend the spa day or is it a no no? xx

Hi girls...just got the call, and I'm pregnant. But I'm freaking out cuz my # is 37.5...she said that was on the low side, but that it didn't matter as long as it was higher come Thursday (next bloodwork appt). I can't stop crying cuz I don't know what to think. I POAS when I got off the phone, and there are 2 lines, but one is definitely faint. No idea how to feel...PLEASE HELP!!!

Congrats Turkey!
Like everyone said... first number isn't as critical! Happy for you!

Hi all,
Just stopping by to say hello! Hope you are all doing well on your journeys. I have been keeping myself busy with work, school...and actually enjoying life. I have a had a few breakdowns here and there, but feel better now that I am not actively TTC. This break is nice. One more round of FET and then we move on. We can not afford another fresh cycle and we can't afford adoption. So we are thinking about Embryo adoption. Financially it is reasonable. Hope you are well and Congrats to all the I missed and to all the BFNs like myself.

Sandy - I had a spa day on my second IVF cycle and my fs said it was fine - day before ET. Just told me to tell them I was hopefully about to be pregnant and they avoided all oils that they can't use in pregnancy. He actually thought it was a great de stress just before ET but you might want to check with your fs also? Xx

 

[Sandy83]

Thanks Ever, I'll check nearer the time as I've booked a package where you have full access to the spa facilities and get a treatment of a massage or facial then manicure so guess i could just go for the facial to be on the safe side xx

 

[everhopeful]

Hi Cali- great to hear from you and so glad that you are having a well deserved break!! I think it's important to give ourselves time to just be!!

Embryo adoption sounds very interesting. What exactly is it?

Adoption here in the uk is free but its a lengthy process and you only really get to adopt children that are removed from their parents for neglect or abuse etc.

A close friend of mine adopted two children after 6 failed IVF rounds and I must admit they are an amazing family. We have thought about it as we can't afford any more IVF but not sure if its the right thing for our son... It's hard..

Xx

 

[Sandy83]

Cali, Good to hear from you it has definitely done me good just having 6 weeks off TTC so worth waiting to get your body and mind in the right place before proceeding with the next steps. Fx'd for your FET cycle in the summer please keep us updated with your progress.

Like Ever I'm intrigued about embryo adoption, how does that work? xx

 

[ttcbaby117]

sandy tentatively, we are looking going to stimming on the same day. fxed for both of us.

 

[Sandy83]

TTC, what is your schedule? xx

 

[MoBaby]

Hey Cali Nice to hear from you! TTC break is good. I think you will get your BFP this summer! Really FX for you!

 

[alicatt]

Sandy - good news about your WTF appt. Sounds like you are just playing the odds! I'm sure I have asked this already, but have they done the auto-immune testing and clotting tests? Have they looked at your NK cells? (even if it is controversial), have they suggested doing PGD (to look at the chromosomes for completness)? Have they karotyped both you and your DH? All of these things can play a part in your fertility or lack thereof. I think my FET will be in mid-May so we'll likely be cycling in close proximity! FX'd for us all

Cali - nice to hear from you, and yes I would like to know more about embryo adoption? That is interesting!

AFM - started Lupron yesterday, so far so good. Only issue I have (which I'd forgotten) is insomnia I couldn't sleep for the life of me last night, and today I feel like a robot, speedy, and it is odd. So IDK what that is all about Otherwise for the results, which should be in sometime in the next 11-18 days! Yes I'm literally counting the days

 

[everhopeful]

Ali - glad that you have started lupron. Long may your headaches stay away!! X

So far so good! Instead of headaches I seem to have insomnia and gitters! I feel like someone put speed in my breakfast!

 

[everhopeful]

Ali - I'm with you on the insomnia front. Ever since being on steroids I've kissed sleep goodbye!! Hopefully short term pain for long term gain!! Xx

Let's hope! Not long now before you get to I know my FS said to take benadryl at night to help (since it is literally the only thing we can take while pregnant or after transfer). Before transfer he said I could take melatonin too. So I recall having to take both to help me sleep with this lupron thing. I wonder if I should do the shot in the AM instead of PM?

Sorry you are having issues with sleep too. Thing is that I don't think it gets better until well, never? That is what all my friends say.. kiss sleep goodbye once you get pregnant or especially after the baby is born.

 

[everhopeful]

Ali - quite!! I kissed sleep goodbye almost 4 years ago but this is tough to be so tired and keep going in the daytime for Noah. Please don't get me wrong. I'm not complaining, incredibly blessed to have him but just walking in a fog of tiredness but like I said, hopefully all worth it!!

I have been told to take steroids first thing in the am as it makes it a little less worse so I'm guessing morning would be a good idea to try!

I'm going insane waiting. Desperate to know but also worried sick... Only time will tell.
Not a fan of the 2ww!! Xx

Oh ya! Forgot you have a young one! Cute name! Noah! That must be difficult. WOW! I hope that all the insomnia = !! You deserve it!!!
I think I will try it in the AM, but I probably need to take it tonight, then again in the morning to get onto that schedule.

The 2WW is literally the longest 2 weeks ever! How come when I go on vacation for 2 weeks it goes by in a flash, yet the 2WW feels like it is eons! You are so close!!! Is Friday 14DPO? Or am I confusing you with someone else? You have great will power to wait, I'm not sure I could!! I'm going to try this time to wait, but we'll see how well that goes!!
