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

Lotus that is very frustrating! Is your local dr the RE? I dont understand why they are having a hard time scheduling it? At mine you just go in and have it done and it takes no more than the time a regular ultrasound would. What kind of equipment? Maybe a different catheter or something. Have there been issues previously with difficult transfers? I am sorry you have to deal with all this mess!

I was wondering the same thing... It's standard equipment that most specialists would have so thats frustrating

I am sorry Lotus hang in there!

They did do mine though only 2 weeks before I started into my cycle so I would think they still had time to get it done if you're cycling march/april.

I have done 5 (I know sounds silly but I had to have one with almost every cycle and after the MCs!)..usually I would go in for an ultrasound check on CD 3 and they would schedule the following Monday (or sometime between CD 7-10) if everything on the regular US looked good to go.

Brandy and Blue, I didn't realize that you were so close to each other. So exciting!

Lotus, your cycle is being done by a military doc right? Is that why you have to have the test done elsewhere? I'm sorry you are so frustrated. I hope everything works out, but like the others said my test was done just a couple weeks prior to transfer.

 

[Mells54]

I feel very lucky and very excited but yes very hard to move around lol lol lol

Blue, sorry if I missed it, but do you know what you are having? Or are you team yellow?

 

[Blue12]

I am double pink!!!! Like both of you ladies. Had another ultrasound today and everything is good. And passed the gd test.

Actually my ticker is a few days behind where my dr has me. Today she has me at 27w2d.

Right now I am so sick with a horrible cold - my dd has pneumonia and it terrifies me for these babies coming and how much work they will be. I know I will have a better outlook when I feel better. Right now I feel like I could curl up and die. Ugh

 

[FirstTry]

Lotus: that sounds horribly frustrating, but I think you should have time to get it done correctly. The waiting is so difficult and this kind of nonsense makes it even worse. I'm very hopeful for you this next cycle!

Oh yeah on double pink!!! Hope you are feeling better soon.

Hey everybody!

Lotus I am so frustrated for you!! All these little details end up being so stressful and I remember it feeling like the doctors etc. JUST DON'T GET IT! When everything hedges on time, it's soooo important that all the details fall into place correctly. I'm praying that it all gets straightened out, and that this will be it for you!!!!

Blue...hope you feel better soon!! I'm nervous about adding two more to our already exhausting life w/ a 4-year old, but we're gonna be just fine!!!

Hope everybody is great. I think my energy may be trickling back, so hopefully I'll be able to do more than just read up on y'all...hate not pitching in, but I have been sooooooooo darn tired!!! Happy New Year!!!

My local Dr is not an RE. She is just an ob/gyn, so she had me go to a local hospital for the test. I have to get the results for this before I can even be considered for the cycle at Walter Reed (the military program). So, if I were using a private clinic it wouldn't be an issue, but the cycle could fill up before I can get in due to all of the roadblocks I keep hitting. I've definitely seen that regular ob/gyn docs do not understand the complications and subtleties of IVF patients. I may make an appt with an RE just in case these others don't come through soon because at least they know what I am talking about.

 

[Mells54]

Lotus, I'm praying it all works out in the end. Just keep your eye on the prize. Hoping for a smother ride in 2014!!!!

 

[~Brandy~]

I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year!! Thank you for all the support in 2013 I would have never made it without my assisted conception friends through this whole process.

Maybe you should keep in touch with Walter Reed to let them know about the difficulty you're encountering. Hopefully, they'll hold your spot.

Lotus - sorry you are dealing with this it's super frustrating I think it's a good idea to both contact an outside RE just in case and also talk to Walter Reed and let them know what is going on. Hopefully they can hold your spot or assist you in getting this done. An outside RE should have no problem fitting you in for this test. mine took less than 15 min and like the others mentioned no special equipment other than the ultrasound they use for all monitoring.

First, Em, any inclination that your little ones will make an appearance anytime soon? You both have some time, and praying for successful, uneventful deliveries for you both!

Nope. I still haven't had any contractions that I know of, and that includes Braxton-Hicks. Baby is still moving a lot, which is good, because I worry.

I think they are planning to induce me in week 39, if he's not here yet. Since I'm at 36w5d, we will be scheduling that soon. We are getting very excited

How about you, Mells. How are you feeling?

 

[~Brandy~]

First and Em are going to be the next to deliver I cant wait!! I love the newborn pictures

Hi, Mells. Thank you! I'm having contractions every day but my OB said it's not an indication that I'll go into labor before my due date. She said it's just the uterus practicing for the big day . I will be induced on my due date Feb 4th if I don't go into labor before then. I can't believe I'm 35 weeks already. Time is flying! Hope you're doing well.

 

[Mells54]

Yeah! So exciting that you both are getting so close. I'm doing well...getting cramping now and again, but think it's mainly associated with how much or little I drink that day. I'm hanging on to hope that I make it to 35 weeks.
