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

Forums New posts
Mo, Mells, Brandy, Blue, any of you gone for the NT scan yet? Mine is next week and I'm ultra terrified that I will have to go for CVS/amniocentesis.
 
Anxiously, we told the genetic counselor that we would only do additional testing if the can should something truly abnormal, and we declined any initial bloodwork. The scan showed two perfect babies! We were a little nervous, but we have no family history and we used an egg donor that was very young and healthy. They also told us the due to having twins the bloodwork is unreliable bc one twin can mask anything happening with the other. For us, no matter the outcome of the scans we wouldn't change the fact that I will still go through with this pregnancy. Good Luck!
 
Turkey anxiously waiting for your post . I have refreshed this page over a 100 times already:haha:
 
I've just finished my appt... Overwhelmed isn't the word lol. So everything looks great. Dr wanted to do a pap. I warned him of the crinone! He put the speculum in and said okay we're not doing a pap today and you are definitely using the crinone right. A little embarrassed but. I'm stopping it on Saturday and switching to oral twice daily. My OB keeps all his uterine abnormalities on progesterone the whole pregnancy. Luckily I don't have to use crinone or much longer. Doing NT scan next week. Then will see dr again in 6 weeks! That's forever away. Oh we heard hb on Doppler!! Yay!

Turkey we are waiting! Lol :) fx for you!
 
Turkey - keeping everything crossed for you!!!

Mo - great update :). So good you can get rid of the crinone. I think every OB has seen it all so no need to be embarrassed.

Anxiously - I had the NT scan and if something was wrong I would have done the new blood tests either MaterniT21 or Harmony over amnio/CVS. The new tests are not invasive and no risk to baby.
 
So much excitement on this thread!! :wohoo:

Great news Mo!

Sekky - not long now! YAY!

Turkey - can't wait to hear :thumbup:

AFM - not much going on, I'm just waiting for AF to arrive. I'm expecting her later this week. Then day 3 bloods and start the BCP. That is what is on deck for me this week!
 
Great news Mo

Ali fx'd AF shows up soon and you will be able to get this show on the road xx
 
Mo- yay I'm soooooooo excited for you!!! I'm glad you heard the heartbeat!!! Best feeling in the world.

Ali- hope AF comes soon so you can get this show on the road!
 
Sandy.. I forgot to ask how you are feeling? I really hope that this is your turn!!! :hugs:

I really hope that some new ladies come aboard soon, I want a cycle buddy! :haha: I love that you guys are all still here keeping tabs on how those in cycle and PUPO are doing! It is really awesome!!!
 
I'm doing good thanks Ali trying not to symptom spot but had a few twinges and camping sensation so fx'd xx
 
Am not triggering today but hopefully tomorrow. I have 19 follies. The biggest is btw 18-19mm and the smallest is btw 13-14mm. E2 came back at 3,472.

Another E2 tomorrow my poor vein. Then hopefully the last scan tomorrow too. i can't wait.
 
I forgot to add that I learned today I'll have a section at 36 weeks with amnio before to check for lung maturity. He's not risking my uterus rupturing with the previous surgery and less than perfect uterus :) oh and he said I had a small bump.


Sandy eek! Not much longer!
Ali: once af comes time will start moving! I used to like te bcp packets b/c it was like a count down. I marked the last pill in the pack I had to take and wrote on my mirror x days until injections start! That way I don't go crazy. Hope af comes soon!
Sekky one more day! I feel you with the blood draws :(
 
Ali fx she shows up and you get to start. Don't worry new ladies will join soon.

Mo am thrilled for you. As usual you can always have a peep at work while you wait for your next appointment wink wink. Just make sure you tell us about it.

Sandy looking forward to a BFP for you. And the hatching blast increases that chance.

Turkey any news yet?
 
Mo glad they've got everything planned already. So in 24 weeks, 5 days your lo will be here!!! Hmmmmmmmmmm so nice
 
Sekky.. I know that feeling.. like you are a pin cushion! Can they use the other arm? Only one more day!!! WOHOO!

Mo.. 36 weeks, wow! I bet that make it all a little more real! Have you calculated the dates? So exciting!!! I will definitely count down with the pills. I think that there is some overlap between the BCP and lupron, then in about 4-5 weeks I'll start with the stims. I think I'll be starting stims around Oct 21st? Or there abouts? I just hope it happens soon! :wacko:
 
Great report, Mo! It sounds like your OB really knows what he's doing. Amazing that you heard the hb on Doppler!

Anxiously: I had my NT scan at 12 weeks. We were told that gives 75% of the probability for Trisomies 13, 18, and 21. When we were there, the dr told us about a blood test named Verifi (verinata.com) that gives 95% probabilities. But they only give that of the NT test shows elevated risk, because it's probably not covered be insurance and costs $200. We asked to do it anyway, and said we'd gladly pay the $200.

I think other companies offer a similar test.

Brandy: is the Harmony test you took the same thing? Btw, they told me 2 weeks also, but got back to me in only one week.
 
Sekky - that's a great number of follies!! Oh I remember those last couple of days my veins were a mess. Hopefully tomorrow will be the last one for you.

Ali - hope AF shows up soon. I bet more people will join soon it seems like a lot of people take the summer off and then start in the fall.

Mo - that's great your Dr. is being extra cautious.

It sounds like there are several tests like this one, I've also heard of the Maternit21 or something like that. I believe they all do the same thing, and can detect chromosomal abnormalities in your blood, and sometimes even tell you the sex! I think it gets more complicated when you have twins, but maybe some are more sensitive than others? The cost at $200 sounds about right. I won't have to have that test since we're only putting back chromosomally normal embryos. Plus we'll know the sex of them too! :wacko:
 
Question for the ladies that have had theNT test. I had two growth scans one at 14 weeks other at 18 weeks and they checked the neck, ventricles in brain, everything and they said it all looks great. I'm guessing they were not concerned about any problems then???? Because they didnt tell me to do the blood test
 
Ali, I start stimming on oct 17 th so more than happy to be a cycle buddy. :flower: Praying this is 3rd time lucky for us xx
