Ali- they are thinking activity induced and with twins you get them a lot more often so might have to cut back or not work at all and have to do short term disability til they are not as bad or gone. But with activity I get 12-16 in 30 min. When just sitting I get 5-9 in an hour.

Wow, Sweetness. I'm a week ahead of you, but with a singleton, and I don't think I've had any kind of contractions yet. Please do take it easy. The good thing is that the babies are at 90% viability by 26 weeks!

Sending good vibes to you Lucie!! When is your appointment?


AFM - triggering tonight! YAY! I have at least 18 follicles 19mm or 20mm, there are likely more, but he was having trouble seeing my right ovary again, and so he said he didn't want to torture me today, he'll be able to manipulate things better on Saturday when I'm out and will get to them! But we did count and measure the 18! I'm really excited!! Amazing that at 41 I still have so many eggs Hopefully each follicle has an egg, he did caution me that they may not all have eggs. Waiting for the afternoon call to see what my estrogen level is, I'm guessing that its around 3300. Which should be good enough to do a transfer next week. It will all depend on that, whether I get OHSS, and whether I have anything to transfer!

 

[MoBaby]

Yay Ali!!! Amazing results!!! Can't wait to see your er report!!!

 

[Em260]

Ali - yay for trigger!! Fx your E2 stays low enough to avoid OHSS.

Lucie - good luck today!

Sweet - I'm glad you're taking it easy and resting. Hopefully the appt tomorrow will offer more answers as to why this is happening. I've been on bed rest a few times so far this pregnancy. I know it's not easy when you're used to being so active but whatever it takes!

 

[Turkey16]

Great news Ali!!!! WOOOOOOOOOT!!!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Ali- as much as I have read I don't think it's bothering the twins but can turn Into premature labor. And I'm an ER nurse so no desk job for me. I wish I could have one it would be great

Blue- yea I'm guessing I won't be able to wrk much longer. And I haven't had any BH til 24 +3 weeks. And now non stop.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Lucie- good luck today!!

First- yea DH friends is due nov and he says she hardly has any. I'm just anxious for my growth scan tom and to talk with the doctor. I mean I feel them both like crazy so I'm going with everything is great and they are not stressed

Em- yes taking it easy til the doc appt but was told very common wit twins because we grow so fast and and me being small and first time mom makes it worse and that I need to relax (which means no work)

Ali- yay for trigger

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm soooooo glad my scan is bright and early tom

Ectopic in left tube. Will be given methotrexate tomorrow. Can't believe this is happening again.

 

[MoBaby]

Are you serious???

This is my opinion but I think it's time for a new dr.... Maybe he is transferring too close to the tubes or something. It seems unusual to have back to back ectopic I'm soo sorry! This is awful!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Lucie- oh my. I'm so terribly sorry. I agree with mo. Ectopics are very rare in IVF esp back to back. I'm so sorry

 

[Blue12]

Oh hun that is just devastating. I am so so sorry for this hun. xxxxxx

I hope a further investigation of why this is happening and how to prevent it happens quickly for you. You clearly have little embryos that are great growers. xxxx

 

[LotusBlossom]

I'm so so sorry, Lucie. Is that the same tube as last time? Do you have endometriosis? I feel like mine was caused by the endo in that tube. It causes a "toxic" environment, apparently. That tube was removed, so now it is not a problem. It's strange and doesn't make sense, but ectopics are not THAT rare with IVF. Sending you tons of love and hugs! ❤❤❤❤❤

 

[MoBaby]

Ectopic risk is about double for ivf vs natural conception so no they are not rare like lotus said. Does the dr have any explanation?

 

[Sweetness_87]

Oh I was always told they are rare in IVF cases. Hmmmmm

 

[Sandy83]

Lucie I'm so so sorry, wish there was something I could say to take away the pain. My heart goes out to you and dh xx

 

[alicatt]

Oh Lucie, I'm so sorry
I'm thinking you should get rid of those darned tubes! That way your embryos won't implant anywhere else but the uterus. Hopefully you and your FS can figure out why this keeps happening, and come up with a plan.

BIG HUGS!

My estrogen level is 3755, so its borderline high. The cutoff is somewhere between 3500 and 4000 for OHSS issues, and possibly not transferring this cycle. We have several days to decide, and I will have a better idea in the coming days as to whether I have OHSS or not, and whether we want to delay transfer. Only issue is that if we want to test the frozen embryos we need to transfer them this cycle. I know you can re-freeze embryos, but since these were the worst of the 6 from my prior IVF, the FS doesn't want to risk that. So if we defrost them to test, we'll have to transfer them. The fresh ones we'll test for sure, and then possibly freeze those that are good, instead of transferring them.
