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

[Turkey16]

Ladies! I'm at the airport! DH arrives any minute! ❤❤❤

Hurray!!! So happy for you guys!!! Have fun!!

 

[Anxiously]

Anxiously - thanks for this info. I think maybe this is why my doc doesn't want me to do a natural FET. Do you mean that you ovulated and by the time of the transfer your lining was not thick enough?

Yep. Lining was only about 6.5mm at the originally scheduled transfer date...we had to extend for another 10 days for it to hit 7.5mm. It was less stressful for me to be honest.

 

[Anxiously]

Have fun with DH Lotus! It's lots of TLC time!!!

 

[Anxiously]

Afm I'm gonna have my lh surge today right on time!! So that means in just 34 days I'll be pupo!!! Yay!!

Yay for surge!!! Are you using test sticks or monitor to track down your ovulation?

 

[MoBaby]

Just the sticks. And my cm yesterday and today i have to track it for real next month which makes me nervous!

Can anyone tell me how long after they started their Lupron injections did they start getting the side effects and what were they? I am super paranoid about it.

I only took it a few hours ago and I have a headache. Who knows could just be the BCP.

Hey Brandy! I had ZERO side effects from any of my injectables...Lupron, menopur & GonalF. Interestingly the only side effects I experienced were from my BCPs!! Constant nausea from them, but not a darn thing from the shots. Who knows, maybe you'll get lucky too! Congrats on getting started!

I hope thats my experience I dont normally get headaches so the thought is frightening lol. Probably because my husband gets migranes so I see how something like that can take a person out.

Still no period you guys...I guess it's not really that big of a deal cuz my m/c was on the 14th of May so its only been a little over a month. I just keep reading posts from ladies who've gotten theirs as soon as (or even earlier than!) their HCG became negative. Mine's been negative since last Tuesday, and I've been having AF cramps since last Sunday. I hate this cuz now my mind's starting to play tricks on me. I even bought tests today, but I buried them in the bottom of my school bag right away...oh to be sane! Wouldn't it be lovely?!?!?

Hope all you terrific gals are doing well. xo

I bled during my MC but after that my regular AF was 5 weeks later.

Lotus - yay!! So happy for you!

Turkey - it took about 6 weeks for AF to return after my MC and D&C. Hope she shows her face for you soon!

Mo - great news! 34 days will fly by!

Mells - ooh fantastic she is starting stims today!! This next part is going to go fast!

From my first two cycles the only symptom I remember was night sweats. This time on the first day I got a bad headache but haven't had any symptoms since. Today was my 4th day of Lupron.

I had constant headaches from the Lupron, it was very unpleasant but necessary, I think my side effects were rare, plus I'm prone to headaches. Hopefully you won't get any more!

 

[L4hope]

I also had headaches with Lupron and hot flashes. Nothing I wouldn't do a million times over for a precious little miracle! Though I'm happy four times was enough!!

Ali, how are you feeling? morning sickness?

 

[Kaylakin]

Turkey - I'm sorry about your mc. Was it after a fresh IVF cycle? I had a mc before I even started any of my fertility treatments. I remember it taking about 5 weeks to get AF. I didn't think it was possible to get AF before HCG levels had returned to 0, but maybe it is. I remember the levels going to 0, then I ovulated, then about 2 weeks later I got AF. Also, it took me 5 weeks and my HCG levels never got really high to begin with, so maybe it will take you longer -- hang in there with the wait, I remember it feeling like forever to get AF..

 

[MoBaby]

turkey from my first mc it was 8 weeks to the day. the second mc it was 27 days from the d/c. hope af comes soon so you can move forward!

Hey Mells.. doing OK.. I'm worried about my bean. The ultrasound we had should have shown more, so I'm in limbo until Wednesday to see if there is a baby or not. I'm still feeling the morning sickness and the fatigue and occasional cramping and TMI.. discharge, like EWCM! Is that normal? I think I'll feel better once I know all is well.

So your donor is starting stims! You must be over the moon excited! Won't be long now

Ai, I think it's natural to be nervous. Sometimes us IVFers know too much. Fx'd that everything works out for you. I think it's a very good sign that you still have pregnancy symptoms. I also heard from other pg ladies that the EWCM is very common...something about your body making the cervix plug. Sending and positive vibes your way.

AFM, yes super excited and so nervous. Since this is her first time donating, I don't know how she is going to stim...we're really hoping for some good eggs so we can at least have some frosties.

Hope everyone had a good weekend!
