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

[time2deal]

Phantom - congrats! Fingers crossed for testing in a few days. I would so love twins. My dad is an identical, and it would be lovely if we were able to have twins!

AFM, I had surprise scan today. I didn't know I was booked in, and happened to be there for a discussion with the counsellor about egg donation if the IVF cycle fails. Anyway, they squeezed me in for a quick scan, and there are already 11 follicles. Only 4 days after starting Stim. Which she said was really good for my AMH. And she thought I had been stimming for 5 days!

So, I'm very pleased. I know follicles <> eggs, but at least its a good result for once. 10 days still until EC.

Cali - I'm not surprised you are bloated. Each of the follices is something like 2cm in size (at least) so if you have 31 of them inside you, think how big that is! fingers crossed I can do somewhere close to as well as you. How many days have you been stimming?

Sandy - thank you! Unfortunately I found out that the pathology results won't be back for 5 business days so it might be Wed or Thurs. I hope AF shows her face for you soon!

Ali - good luck on Friday! Fx your FS has some answers for you!

Welcome Kate and Mommyagain!

Phantom - congrats on being PUPO!

Cali - good luck with ER! 31 follies is amazing!

 

[Em260]

Time - great news! It sounds like you're on your way! You'll have a lot more growth between now and your egg retrieval.

Good morning, Ladies :wave:

Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm feeling implantation-y (yes, a new word)! I had my D&C on Dec 17. I think I o'd 7 days ago and we BD'd a lot. The only time I've ever been pregnant was last cycle, via IVF. So, I don't think it's too likely I could get a natural BFP. But I feel something, like a mild ache, in my uterus this morning.

Before my BFP last cycle, I felt "woozy" cramps 2dp5dt and 3dp5dt. FX'd!

 

[Sandy83]

Em - Fx'd for Wed or Thurs then

Time - Great news on 11 follies that's great and still lots of time for more to appear.

First - There is always hope for the natural BFP. Are you tempted to test? Fx'd for you xx

Cali wow can't wait for your EC how exciting.

Sandy I know how you feel I want af to be here (not due till Friday) but I'm desperate to know if we'll be accepted this month I'm hoping and praying its a yes I don't think I could take a third set back.

I had my trial of transfer today... It was actually a bit more uncomfortable than I thought... the doctor let her intern try it (teaching hospital) so he couldn't even get the speculum in correctly... Then when he took the IUI catheter to measure the cervix angle, he was poking and said he had a blockage and couldn't get it into the uterus.. my doctor tried and said I had a slight tilt of my uterus but with a full bladder it'll straighten out.. I kinda think it was pointless to go to this today.. i've had 4 IUI's that went great- no issues getting the catheter in.. and the day of ET, anything could happen...

Anyway- found out that I start Gonal F and Menopur next Friday the 25th... anxious for it all to be done already. This BCP month of waiting is killing me.

Hi ladies,
Just wanted to give a quick update on my progress. I just took my trigger shot about an hour ago and ER is on tuesday. I have 31 follies now. Everything is looking good but I feel like crap. I had to take sat night off work. I'm having cramping, ton of bloating and pressure. It is painful to walk now. Anything but being on the coach is uncomfortable. I never knew stimming could be this hard. My RE said that they detected a very low AMH but is now wondering if it was an error because I am responding so well. Hope you are all well. Will do personals in the morning!

Good luck with your ER!!! I hope you get lots of healthy eggs!!

I hope you feel better soon!!!

[ttcbaby117]

Kate - sorry to hear that hun. I hope you get some answers soon!

Em - good luck with the results hun!

Cali - wow 33 follies.....good luck hun, I cant wait to hear your update!

mommyagain - I hope this FET works for you hun! fxed!

Ali - I am so curious to hear what the dr has to say with all the testing you have had done. Please update us as soon as you can!

First - you never know hun....miracles happen all the time and us LTTTC have to believe in them!

Time - wow that is such awesome news! Way to start out the cycle!

Baby - oh that sounds like a nightmare. In one of my IUI's the nurse couldnt get the catheter in either and it was horrible. They ended up calling the dr and she slipped it in no problem!

 

[cali_kt]

Welcome Kate! :wave: Sorry to hear about DH's SA. My DH Has low morphology and motility. We are doing IVF with ICSI. The ICSI is great for sperm issues. Lots of luck to you on this journey.

Phantom- Glad your transfer went well and Congrats on being PUPO!!

Time- I stimmed from Jan 1-9th on 375 of Follistim and then reduced to 300 of follistim until the 13th. On the long Lupron protocol.

First- Crossing my fingers for a natural BFP!!!

BabyD- Glad you are getting moving along!

Mbrink- I read your blog too. Love it!

 

[Edamame]

Cali- Good luck with ER! With that many follies I hope they will watch you for OHSS, it can be scary. Drink lots of protein shakes and gatorade!

Time2deal- nice follie count- hope they grow and grow!

Firstry- I hope this is it for you!

Sandy, Boofle- I hope you get AF soon, I need her here too! I was hoping today, but doesn't look like it. Sigh. Never when you *want* it to get here!

BabyD- sorry your mock transfer was no fun. I hope a pro is doing your actual transfer. Glad you get to start meds soon!

Hope everyone is having a nice day.

GL tomorrow Cali!!! I hope you feel better!!

I am such an emotional mess right now.... a few reasons why. #1: My HCG is starting to finally come down. My HPT finally went lighter than the control yesterday (barely) so its slowly coming down and to which comes the other hormones which make you cry your eyes out at the slightest thing. I cried yesterday when work told me I may not be able to have a day off. I really dont need the day off, but still (I got the day off).
#2: I am RSVP to go to this dinner on Thursday...its a healthcare dinner thing but several of the girls I used to work with are coming and we are going to use it as a big hangout session...so anyways...one of the girls that I am close with calls me today and tells me she cant drink because she is freaking pregnant. Are you f*ing serious?? She has a 5 month old. And she had 1 period since the baby and now pg again. WHY did you have to freaking tell me that??? I mean I just had a freaking MC and now you tell me this?? So I dont know if I can go now... One of the reasons I left that job is because it was all girls and all everyone talked about was having babies and since we were all close in age, everyone was having babies so there was always someone pg... I was there 4 years and not a month went by without a coworker being pg.. I was the only one who had problems...
#3: I miss my baby and I want to see the RE NOW not in 3 weeks but I cant get in sooner.... Maybe I can call and see if the labs are in yet and try to go next week but I just want answers and to get this show on the road.
#4: I think one of my friends is pg. There was a weird reaction by one of my other friends the other day when someone asked her if she was pg....I think my head will explode if they announce it anytime soon. And I dont know if I want to continue hanging out with my good friend who has a new baby.. I dont know.. I am struggling with it. I dont want to withdraw, but I feel like its hurting me more to be around her.

Sorry I just crashed the thread. I needed to vent and get it all out. Okay, I need to focus on dinner now and stop sitting here crying.
