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

[Em260]

2girls - wow, that is an incredible story!!

 

[L4hope]

Sandy and Mells thanks for asking! Things are going well so far, other than my nerves getting the best of me at times. I wish I could have an appt every week, or at least every two weeks! But thankfully I'll be seeing the doctor next Tuesday and will feel so much better to hear my munckin's heartbeat again. As far as symptoms go, I really don't have too many at this point. My boobs are still sore which I thought was supposed to go away and occasional cramping which should be the uterus stretching. So all things considered I'm doing pretty good and after next week will be feeling even better!

Mo, I'm sure it's going to be tough to leave your current re. These clinics kinda become our home away from home as much as we're there. I was on a first name basis with all of the staff at my clinic with exception of the two doctors(somehow they seem to stay doctor so and so). In fact I've been irrationally holding onto my meds until I get a little farther. But I'm going to donate them back to my clinic for other women and I would like to take a thank you card and a little baked goodie in for everyone. But I digress....my point is its not going to be easy I'm sure. But the bottom line is your decision is not personally about him but its very personal for you in that you desperately want a baby and are doing everything you can to give it your best chance, even if that means trying a new re.

Em: I'm not unhappy with my old RE; I adore him actually. I am unhappy with the communication and unhappy with the multiple cycles we have had with them. So all in all, its time for a change. I have a f/u with him may 21..how am I going to break the news??

Hmmm he should have the feeling already while sending some of your info over to the new clinic. That should make it easier

Well everyone my test was negative. This was my first ivf cycle and I thought it was good cycle for sure. Everything was going great I was responding to the meds and I did get a follicle a good one, too. It looked very promising in the lab dividing nicely and less than 5% fragmentation. I wish everyone up here the best and god bless all of us who are TTC. I'm gonna be taking a break but my husband says it is up to me. He is so sweet! I don't know if I wanna continue or take break? I do have great insurance and I do get 2 more try's. Wishing all you the best and I will be signing off for a little bit

 

[Edamame]

Angel I'm so sorry. Hope you have a good break.

L4hope- looking forward to hearing about your appointment next week!

 

[angelap1215]

Thank you Edamame

L4hope - great to hear from you and that everything is going so well!

Angel - so sorry that you got a BFN it is difficult and it is recommended after an IVF cycle that you take 1-3 months off to recover. I would go in and talk with your FS about why this one didn't work, and then take that information and decide what to do. Taking some time off is helpful as you can relax and recover before you start again.

AFM - I had my lining check and it went very well, I have a 10.4mm lining and they moved FET day on me from Friday to Wednesday!!! So I'll be PUPO that much sooner! I'm also taking Wednesday-Friday off next week to have 5 days to relax and let the bean(s) stick Feeling very happy and blessed right now.

Wahoooooo!!! GREAT NEWS ALI! All your hard work and patience is starting to pay off!!! I'm super excited for you.

 

[Mells54]

Angel, so sorry. Take all the time you need to make a decision on what to do next. I agree that you should have a talk with Re and what he thinks.

Ali, I'm so excited for you. There are just some people I want so badly to have success. Not that I don't want anyone to not be successful, but I think you know what I mean. Good Luck!!!!

Sorry to hear this news Angelap...I was really hoping for a different outcome for you. I think Ali is right...talk to your RE about what they think went wrong and go from there. I am a big supporter of taking a break, but at the same time, if having the insurance coverage might for ANY reason change, be sure to take that into consideration. Not sure how old you are, but as a newly-minted 40 year old, your age definitely plays a part too. You'll figure out what's best for you. Sorry again that it wasn't good news.

 

[MoBaby]

Thats great news Ali!
Angelap sooo sorry

 

[Edamame]

Yay Ali!! 5 days until PUPO!

 

[alicatt]

Turkey, Mells, Mo, Edamame, (and everyone else) we've been on this thread for a while together. I am so thankful to have you all! It means a lot to know I have all of you in my corner, and to be there for each of you! Sometimes I think that if it weren't for BnB I would have jumped off a cliff IVF and FET's are so emotionally draining with the up's and down's and knowing that I have you all to lean on is very comforting.

 

[L4hope]

Ali so glad to hear your appt went well and you'll soon be pupo!! Looking forward to seeing more bfps rolling in in the next few weeks. I'm pulling for you ladies!

Me too! I want to see a bunch of BFPs! With my transfer being a few days sooner, my OTD will be sooner too! I wonder if they will test me on the Friday BEFORE Memorial Day? Or will they be mean and make me wait until the Tuesday after. I was in at my regular Dr's office earlier this week and they said if I wanted to get a BETA done I could, and to just stop in the nurse there is so awesome!

 

[everhopeful]

Angel - so sorry that it didn't work this time. Take the time you need and I'm sure you'll be ready to go again soon.. It's emotional but will be so worth it in the end!!

Ali - brilliant news!! Whoop whoop!! So close to your BFP now!
Xx

 

[alicatt]

Thanks Ever.. so have you made any decisions about what to do?


AFM.. I took a peek on a FET calendar to see when I was due, and it said I was already 2 weeks pregnant! It took me off guard but I guess I am!
So my next decision is whether to or not to I have always tested in the past, but have had my heart pulled out each time. So I'm afraid to test, but at the same time I want to know as soon as it is possible to know! Plus my friends are having a Memorial Day party and I have heard rumors that they are doing fireworks to commemorate my BFP! So I need to test before then!

I feel exactly the same way Ali!! This thread is seriously a major part of my life!! Thanks to everyone for always being there...literally, it's like someone is ALWAYS there...I am so thankful for you all and hopeful for some serious BFPs!!! xox

I dunno what to tell you. Personally I'm NOT a tester, but as you have pointed out in the past, there are some good reasons, other than insatiable curiousity, to test. It's an interesting topic at the moment because my best friend, who is considerably younger than me (33) found herself pregnant about two years ago while she was on the pill. She had only been with her now-husband for a couple of months. Together they embraced the idea of having a baby only to find at their 8 week ultrasound that she had a blighted ovum. Needless to say she was crushed and her "pregnancy innocence" (as i recently heard it referred to as) was stolen. Fast forward to now, she and her hubby have been officially trying for a month. Her period was a day late and she took a test last night. It came up pregnant (a digital brand). This morning her period arrived. Obviously she's not sure what's going on, but you better believe she is cursing herself for taking the test. She kept saying if "I only waited I wouldn't have known and then I wouldn't be having these irrational feelings that I'll never be able to have a baby", because as I'm sure you can imagine that's what is now going through her mind. Anyway...I don't mean to be a downer cuz I know you are bound for a full throttle BFP, but it's just a timely topic in my life right now. Sometimes I feel like us gals with all our issues are dealing with a blessing/curse situation ya know? Sometimes it seems we know too much, and when it's not what we're hoping will happen it's almost too hard to bear...I don't know, I'm rambling a bit. Just feeling sad and unsettled for my pal cuz I hate for her to be down on herself...sigh.

I can understand her being sad and upset, I would be too! If it happens to me that I am pregnant but then a week later it fails, I will be heart broken. Still, I would rather have that information than not. For this cycle I think it is important that I do test so that I know if we are making progress. I've never ever once had a positive on a pregnancy test (other than due to HCG) so to see it turn even for a moment, would be progress to me!
For your friend, while I'm sure she is sad now, and concerned that she can't get pregnant, knowing she was if only for a moment is a clue to her fertility that will help a OB or FS determine what is wrong. So I'm still on the side of things even if it breaks our hearts!
