[wannabeprego]

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!!!

YAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!!!! That's a nice, strong line, Wannabee. Mine were not that dark at 11dp5dt, if that helps.

I really hope it sticks and you get your miracle baby!!!!

Thanks! Got the call and my beta was 178. It's confirmed -

Congrats!!

[Sandy83]

Fx'd Boofle i think a couple of us will be transferring that week. Always good to have others in the 2ww at the same time

Fx'd AF comes soon xx

 

[annmc30]

Well ladies ec went well I was awake all the way through was a bit sore but Ive got 23 eggs they gona ring in the morning let me know how many fertilize then ring on Thursday to have either 3day or satday 5day transfer

 

[Em260]

Thanks ladies!! I am still on about the whole thing! I've emailed my RE to ask if I can start the next IVF with my February period which will be around Feb 8th or if I need to wait until March. I had an appointment with him before my surgery and he said Feb would be fine so hopefully that's still the case.

First - that's great you have those frozen eggs. I think I would try to use those before I went through another full cycle, especially since you have so many of them.

Lotus - great news about your FET!! Yayy!! I think lots of people fly after their transfers when cycling out of state and 5 days seems like enough time.

Sandy - yayyy!! So happy you're getting started!! Two weeks is so close!

Ann - congrats, 23 eggs is amazing! Rest up and fx for a great fert report.

 

[Em260]

Sandy it's all happening yay hopefully I'll be having my transfer that week too. Fingers crossed then we'll be in the 2ww together. Still waiting for af

I hope she shows her face soon!! That's great so many of you will be in the 2ww together

Hi ladies,
I'm sorry it has been so long, but I have had been going through a nightmare. As many of you had already had been worried about.. I got severe OHSS. This has been nothing short of hell. I have never felt this horrible in my whole life. I have to go the RE everyday and it is 45 mins away with a very bumpy pass for a mile (and those that have had it can understand how excruciating that is). They gave me Percocet but I could not keep it down because I couldn't eat more than a cracker a day. Throwing up with abdominal pain is crappy. Fri night the pain got so bad and I was having shortness of breath that I went to the ER. I got a breathing treatment and dilaudid. I started crying when it took effect because it was the first time I felt relief and the first time I could take a deep breath. Doc said I had to keep up on pain meds when I got home and use Zofran (anti-nausea) with every dose. Sat morning I went to the RE and they drained a half liter of fluid off. They couldn't get more because it was so high and I started having bleeding issues. It was so uncomfortable. Obviously, this cycle has been canceled. I could not even imagine getting pregnant like this. Yesterday would have been my day 5 transfer. 4 blasts went to freeze. There are a number still left that they are seeing if day 6 makes them grow and see if any additional go to freeze. I always wished and prayed for 4. So I am happy.
As for the next FET... I don't know. We are going to Maui Feb 2-8th. I need a little break. For those of you with experience with OHSS...when did you feel better? My trigger was a week ago yesterday. My doc says I'm through the worst. I am still so bloated. It will get super uncomfortable and then go away in a hour. It comes in waves. I'm supposed to work Thursday night. I just want to get better. I'm sick of feeling like this.

 

[Boofle]

Oh no Cali what a horrible time you have had I can't imagine how awful and frightening it must of been. I really hope you start to feel better soon I was worried about you cos you hadn't posted. I'm so glad you have four frosties and possibly more from personal experience a frozen cycle is way way better than fresh. I think if I end up having to do another full cycle I would freeze all and not have a fresh transfer if I could do that.

Look after yourself, get better, enjoy your time away and then get them little frosties on board what a great plan

 

[cali_kt]

Thanks for thinking of me! I'm hoping the FET will be so much easier.

So sorry you've had such a rough time of it.


Afm: Not much here. Wednesday is the first Beta, and Friday is the second. 3rd not until February 1st.

These are 3 big hurdles (to me) I need to pass with flying colors. Last transfer, our first sign of a failed pregnancy was non-doubling betas... so this time...they reallllllly need to double or I'm going to go nuts.

So here's hoping for BIG and DOUBLING hcg levels

 

[Sandy83]

Cali so sorry to hear about your experience with ohss. I had it but was a mild case but I had it for a week then started to ease, just have plenty of fluids and rest and take one day at a time and get yourself better. Thinking of you Glad to hear you have 4 frosties. Xx

 

[Edamame]

Cali sorry to hear you got OHSS. I just had a mild case, it was pretty bad for about a week and then started to ease off. I wish now that I had just waited to do an FET. I was not feeling great and was probably just not the best place for the embryos. Although I did get a positive it didn't last. I hope you feel better soon, keep drinking gatorade and protein shakes!

Phantom, can't wait to hear about your first beta!

So sorry Cali.. OHSS is horrible and I'm surprised they didn't admit you to the hospital! It sounds like things are easing a bit. I did find that the month after my IVF cycle I ended up more bloated than normal about the same time I ovulated the following month. It wasn't nearly as terrible, but those meds stay in your system for a bit so you might get a very mild case next month too. Either way, things should slowly get better as you move forward.

Congrats on having 4 nice little 5 day embryos frozen! Maybe you will get a few more today I know you have been through hell.. it will get better, and just think, the FET will be a piece of cake!
