AFM.. I'm doing PIO and I'm sure that is increasing my bb pain and cramping. I did a hpt today, just to see what it looked like!! Very dark with late afternoon pee! :wohoo:

Okay, you guys know way more than I do about this. I thought sedation and GA were the same thing.

Who knows :shrug: there are different forms of sedation depending on what they are doing. If they are cutting through abdominal walls or doing anything that really hurts, they use GA. If they simply want you relaxed and not feeling any pain, then twilight or propofol works. Things like minor incision, colonoscopy, D&C, they can use twilight I think. It ultimately rests with the Dr and the Anesthesiologist what they do, but most of them prefer using the lighter dosing as it is less risky, and has fewer side effects.

I had GA for my D&C and sedation for my hysteroscopy. I was equally knocked out both times so no difference to me :haha: I know it's weird but I do enjoy that few seconds of high before I go to dreamland...

Hi ladies

Just a quick check in hope so everyone is doing well :hugs:

AFM, been getting spoilt today as I hit the big 30 today so dh had been spoiling me and showering me with diamonds!!! Im a very lucky girl. Other than that im absolutely bloated look about 5 months pregnant but no longer sore and tender so looking forward to transfer tomorrow. The nhs only allow you to put one blastocyst back so hoping I have at least one to freeze xx

Happy belated birthday!!! Wow diamonds! I'm still waiting for one from DH - though I think it's unlikely after 9 years of marriage :haha:
 
Mells - glad the headaches aren't too bad this time around. Ooh thing are really going to start moving for you soon! Your donor starts stims on the 15th right?

Sweet - I think you should be able to see the heartbeat at that point. I'm going in on Tuesday and will be 5 weeks +5 days and they said there is a good chance we'll see it.

Anxiously - sounds like a great plan! I'm glad your new RE has a lot of new things to try. I've heard great things about all of those supplements.

Sekky...I remember seeing "it's the only one" in your sig (re: IVF)....is that still the case? Are you ok? Is there some alternative plan? My heart's breaking a little over here for you...can't stop thinking about it.

Hi all, sorry for MIA, just saw my new RE today so at least now I have some updates for everyone.

I'm to skip the FET for the remaining 5 frosties, and do a fresh IVF. He's worried about my low AMH (1.3) and wants to "catch" those eggs before they are depleted. Frankly, I had this thought for a while myself but my previous RE didn't support it. The new RE plans to take the embryos to blastocyst stage before transfer, and again, I had been doubtful of the day 2 transfer that the previous one prescribes to.

So I've been prescribed the following cocktail to prep for IVF 3 months later:
- DHEA to help with the diminished ovarian reserve
- Viagra to thicken lining (DH will die laughing I swear)
- Ovuhealth vitamin for egg quality
- Vitamins for sperm quality for DH

All medications are totally new to me. So I'm hopeful that the change in approach will yield better results. Will have to freeze DH's sperm for the IVF though, since he will be Qatar by then. But doc said while frozen sperm won't be ideal for IUI, it wont be a problem for IVF.

So we are all set. Will try naturally for the next few months with regular ultrasound monitoring for my lining. Hopefully we won't even need the IVF when the time comes!!!

Will go back on your posts and shout out some personals as soon as I can!

Anxiously - sounds like a great plan!!! Your new RE seems to have a handle on the issues, and is being more aggressive! :thumbup: With IVF they can do ICSI to fertilize the egg with the sperm :spermy: and that is usually suggested when using frozen sperm. It will help increase your fertilization rate, so when you get closer to the time you can ask him about that.
 
Sekky, oh I'm so sorry. Have you given any thoughts to next steps? It's so hard, take some time to just be sad. :hugs: to you
 
Thanks ladies. I find it hard to grief for anything so am not yet sure what am feeling right now whether its grief or anger. Having bunch of ladies here who have moved on from several disappointments gives me strenght and hope that one day it will be my turn. Just a little more patience
 
Oh, sekky! I am so so sorry! :hugs: Sending you ❤ and healing vibes. I understand being angry. That has been mixed in with sadness for me as well. ❤❤❤
 
I'm so so sorry Sekky. :hugs: It will be your turn soon, I know it!
 
So sorry Sekky! :hugs:

Anxious sounds like your new re has a good plan for you and glad you made a change. Sometimes we have to follow our instincts.

Mells, glad Lupron isn't being too horrible for you. Look forward to hear how your ED is doing!

Em just a word of caution. An ultrasound before 6 weeks can show heartbeat but is not always the case. It should definitely be there at 6 weeks. I went at 5w5d hoping to see the heartbeat but it was not thre. We saw the yolk sac and gestational sack and what she thought MIGHT be the fetal pole. So naturally I was on pins and needles till the next ultrasound a week later showing a beautiful strong heartbeat. I hope you get to see the heartbeat on Tuesday, but just know its early enough that it might not be there yet. Fingers crossed!
 
I wasnt able to see the heartbeat either at 5w5d so I was totally freaking out. He is a beautiful healthy 17 year old now but sheesh that was scary. Just remember it might be a few days early.
 
Sekky.. I'm so so sorry. I hope you are able to get going again soon with a new plan...xo

Sandy.. happy birthday!

Eager to hear more updates from everyone! xo
