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

[LotusBlossom]

Mells- yes, apparently we go through in small groups and do all the classes together (orientation, injections, etc). I've been told by former patients that it's a nice bonding experience and helpful to have others with you. Of course, we know that from BnB! ❤

First- It's not covered, it's just discounted. So we will have to pay a little over $6k, which is better than before. Yay for kicking because you know you have a strong one, but sorry for the discomfort.

Ash- I completely understand how exhausting a big move can be! It's great that you have already made friends, though. That part can be tough. Taking some time off (it will be a year when we try again in mar), has been really helpful for me. I hope it is for you as well. ❤❤❤

Ash- glad to hear things are going good. I bet CA is beautiful. I have always wanted to go vacay out there. And know how hard it is and exhausting. Your time is coming

Lotus- glad to see you have a date set to start! Time will fly by when you start

 

[alicatt]

Hi All..

Ash - great to hear from you!
Lotus - you too!

Hope everyone else is doing well!!

So I ordered my meds, that was an ordeal and a half! I ended up using a company in Israel called www.isrameds.com they provide bravelle and menopur (and other items I'm sure) at about 1/2 the price of fertility pharmacies here in the US. Oh well, a little ordeal for $3000 in savings is worthwhile!

I should get AF in the next week, and will do day 3 bloods, then start on BCP on day 3 as well. Once we have that date, all the other dates will fall into place. Right now we're estimating I start Lupron around my birthday Oct 6-8th. Then start stims around Oct 20-22nd and finally egg retrieval Oct 30th-Nov 2nd. I'm slowly but surely getting there

This sounds great Ali!! Congrats!! How has your stomach been??

 

[Turkey16]

So, when is your beta, Turkey? Any chance you'd POAS beforehand? I think I got this BFP 3 or 4dp5dt. And I can't wait to see yours

Sandy: awesome report again!

Sekky: you're next!

Mo: I'm so happy for you. Congratulations graduate!

Lotus: it's wonderful that you have a date and that it's covered!

As for me, Sir Kicks-a-Lot is at it again, now. I'm always happy to feel it. Yes, I started feeling it very early, so don't stress if you don't feel it til later.

Thanks First!!!! "Sir Kicks-a-Lot"! That's hilarious!!

Not a POAS kinda girl...although I've been having A LOT of tugging and pulling going on, so I've been tempted!! I even have a 5-pack of HPTs in my bathroom!!! Took a half day on Monday (OTD) so I can be home to get the news. Soooo nervous & excited!!

I'm going to go see my Gastroenterologist Dr on Tuesday to double check that there isn't anything else going on here. I have been taking 1/2 tablet of calcium carbonate with each meal and that has curtailed the runs, and by taking 1/2 a tablet of the metformin at the same time, my stomach has been much better. Still not 100% but tolerable. My FS really wants me to take the metformin, so I'm going to do what I can to appease him.


I think you should I'm a POAS addict I got my first BFP on a FRER (first response early result) at 4DP5DT, so you could have one and not know it!

 

[~Brandy~]

Ali I got my meds from Israel too. I was very pleased with the cost and they arrived very quickly.

Pulling and tugging is great! With the two hatching blasts, I think you have a really good shot. No guarantees, but it sounds extremely promising. Monday is very soon!

 

[Sandy83]

Well ladies back from transfer and have one hatching blastocyst on board!! Happy about that but pee'd off as I was due to have an acupuncture session straight after but my normal guy doesn't work at that clinic on weekends so arranged for his colleague to do it and said he had arranged it and doesn't matter what time I turn up I will be able to get treated straight away. Well turned up at the time I had said I should be there and the colleague turned round and said I would have to wait for an hour before being seen as she had another patient in. This could just be my hormones making me act irrational but I thought the whole point in having acupuncture after transfer wad to have it straight away. So in the end I haven't had the acupuncture xx

 

[Sandy83]

Sorry ladies just having a bit of a rant! I think it just annoyed me at how unprofessional she was and I just wanted everything to go so smoothly and she couldn't understand that. Going to try and calm myself down now and have lots of PMA xx

 

[MoBaby]

Sandy congrats on the transfer! Sorry about the acu..She should have honored your time

 

[Em260]

Sandy - congrats on being PUPO!! It's ok to rant away that was very unprofessional of her.

 

[sekky]

Congrats on a hatching blast Sandy. Sorry about the accu.

Lotus glad you have your date. So happy you will save a lot of money using the clinic you choose that must be a big relief.

Ash so good to hear from and glad you have settled in CA. Goodluck with school and hoping you get your forever baby with your next trial (FET or fresh). I agree taking a break does a lot of good.

Mo that's very thoughtful of you.(I mean sending your clinic a gift)

Back from my follie check (day 9). 16-18 follies ranging between 12-17mm. I go back on Monday and hopefully will trigger same day. Still on 225iu of Gonal f and 0.2ml of busereline.

 

[Mells54]

Sandy, congrats on being PUPO...PMA all the way.

Sekky, sounds like things are moving along nicely.

AFM, nothing new. Appt this week with my regular OB.

 

[Turkey16]

Hey Girls...having some serious lower back pains!! Anybody else experience this while waiting for OTD?? Not fun, but I'm hoping maybe it's s good sign...

 

[Sweetness_87]

Sandy yay on the transfer

Turkey those dymptoms sound very good!! I really remember the pulling sendation

 

[Blue12]

I accidentally pressed unsubscribe and have missed so much - I thought everyone had gone quiet lol.

[Mells54]

Hi Blue! ow are you feeling?

Turkey, I didn't really get back pain until much more recently, and it isn't constant. Of course, everyone is different. Good luck!!!!

 

[Em260]

Sekky - great news! Yay for trigger tomorrow!

Turkey - sounds very promising Keeping everything crossed for you tomorrow!

 

[Sandy83]

Turkey, sounds promising not long now till OTD. Exciting how you holding up?

Sekky, fx'd for triggering tomorrow won't be long for you now.

Lotus & Ash, great to hear from you and glad you are both looking forward to the future whatever it entails.

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well xx
