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

[Phantom710]

tinker--- both of my FETs have been really easy. Some meds before hand, but they don't seem to come highly with side effects, and then the transfer only take like 10 minutes. Doesn't hurt at all. Bed rest that day (and the next sometimes) but then it's back to basics (minus really strenuous activities)

Great numbers, TinkerBell! Sorry about the OHSS. Feel better soon.

I did! I was going to wait a few days but the mom text and told me she was really anxious. she knew I tested early last time, so she thought we were negative.

Got even darker lines this morning, I'm so happy

Yay for darker lines! What did the parents say?

 

[Phantom710]

They are so happy! I know they are worried about miscarriage like last transfer, but they are staying very optimistic. They are really wanting them both to stick! (But of course would be happy if just one stuck around)

I saw my REI Dr end of Oct/2012. He started me on bc right away, AF arrived end of Nov so the stims were started. I was on Gonal F, Menopur, ganirellix & then trigger.... In the middle of my meds (start of Dec) I was informed that my Dr was on medical leave in mid Nov. They would not give me any info of why or when he would return, all they said was that he was monitoring my meds... Nurse changed my meds (per Dr) ER was done 12/9 with 18 follies 9 fertilized & ET was on 12/14 with 2 (according to Dr) not so great embryos, non made it to freeze. The 2ww was very emotional because aside of the wait I had no Dr to talk too... Of course IVF was not successful = ( Then I find out my Dr past away 1/08/13 when he left mid Nov, he was not coming back due to terminal illness... He was a great Dr, I even attended funeral, but I'm calling clinic to find out who altered my meds & who monitored my cycle & I'm getting the run around from the office. Another Dr from the office did call me to ask if I'm ready for my next cycle..... What should I do??? I want answers, is there somewhere I can call? I already have an appointment to go to another clinic but I lost thousands of dollars....

Lotus - how did your Dr appointment go today? Fx'd for great news!

Tinker - I'm sorry to hear about the OHSS. Take care of yourself.

I am 11dp5dt and have now POAS 4x. DH refuses to get excited until we get an official report from my beta (blood work done today). But the double line this morning was hard to miss! After almost 2 years of trying, I can't believe it's finally happening!!!

You've started a good trend, Phantom!!!

angied1 - IVF is a difficult situation, and depending on your diagnosis the odds can be as little as 5% success. Did your FS Office do the right thing? Probably not. They should have told you who was monitoring you and you should have been seeing an alternate doctor through your cycle. Did you go in for ultrasounds? Who administered them? Who called you to alter your meds? My guess is that an alternate FS in the office was doing so. However they should have been up front about it.
With that said, IVF is not a guarantee, and you could have had the exact same response had your original FS been monitoring you.
If I were you I would waltz into the office and ask to speak with the administrator. Explain what you have said here, and see what she says. It is a lot harder for them to ignore you when you are sitting right in front of you. Once you have let her explain, if you feel that the explanation is still less than satisfactory I would ask for a discounted rate on a future IVF. That is the best you can hope for I think. I asked for a discounted rate on my first one and was given 10% off if I paid cash, and on my second one I got 15% off. Simply because I asked (and there wasn't anything that they did wrong).

Good luck!

Hi ladies dont know if Im in the right place but could I join? I had EC last friday my first icsi. I couldnt have ET because I ended up getting OHSS so my embryos have been frozen. I had 31 eggs 28 mature and 20 fertilized. I have to wait 3 month before I can have ET which will be March I think. What happens what happens with a FET? Ive heard its not has stressful on your body. Thanks

Tinker - if your Dr suggests freezing your embryos, go for that option. Insisting on continuing on with a transfer now would likely end up with a BFN, and on the off chance you did get a BFP, you'd probably end up in the hospital with severe OHSS. So take the recommendation and freeze your embryos and go for the FET.

A FET (although I haven't had one yet - looking at late Feb early March) is basically the transfer, just of frozen embryos. They will likely prepare your uterus with some meds (estrogen and progesterone), but they will not be stimulating your ovaries. It is the stimulation of your ovaries that is the most difficult on your body, and what caused your OHSS.

I hope that helps!

[LotusBlossom]

Yay, WannaBee!! That's a great dark line!

AFM: I saw my Dr today. My hcg is at 4, which is considered negative, so we can move forward with the FET. I'm starting BCP tonight and the nurse is supposed to call me soon with a schedule. I'm still unsure of the timeline, so hopefully the IVF schedule will line up with our moving schedule. Fingers crossed!

 

[Edamame]

Congrats Wannabee! Let's keep this train rolling ladies!

Lotus- I'm glad to hear you get to get started again!

Had my first blood test today, my estrogen levels were "perfect" and so I can reduce the lupron to 5 units a day and start the delestrogen shots on Monday. Next is a u/s and blood test on the 31. 25 days left!
