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

[~Brandy~]

Hi Evie! From your signature it looks like you will be doing another full cycle? What's your ivf calendar looking like?

 

[EvieVonKittie]

Yes, ER should be between Feb 6-8, and ET between Feb 13-15.
Since I hyperstimulate last time pretty severe, this time they just placed me with Lupron 10u and Follistim 225u, just had my first scan, my next one Wednesday they'll tell me how well I'm progressing or not..

This one is all being paid by the clinic since they still don't know how they lost all my eggs last time.

 

[EvieVonKittie]

I'm really praying this time is a go.. Would be a dream come true to have a Halloween baby(ies) I'm born on Halloween, as well as my doc! Lol

 

[~Brandy~]

Evie- FX for you that this is it. Sucks that they never figured out what happened... Its actually super scary

My DH is a halloween baby and he loved it growing up since he was able to have a dress up party every year for his bday.

Hi ladies

Got my official bfp on my otd yes! Obviously I'm delighted but now that the news has settled in I'm starting to worry about something going wrong. Didn't think I would be like this! Trying not to dwell on my worries and think positively but its quite hard! Did anyone else feel this way at the start of their pregnancy? xxx

I think every single one of us did Jack!

I would tell myself ok if I get my BFP I will calm down.. Nope then I worried about the coming u/s.. Then I would say ok if they find the HB I will be ok... Nope then I worried if I lost a twin or not before the next scan.

It's a never ending cycle. You really just have to find your happy place and try to remain calm. We cant really change the outcome. But for you I am sure it will all be great. It's just so nerve wrecking!!

 

[jack79]

Thanks Brandy I guess I will just have to put the worries to the back of my mind. I also feel that I've spoken to far too many people about the IVf and now so many people are asking how it went. Nightmare!!

Is that photo your recent scan photo? Its amazing!! xxx

 

[MoBaby]

Jack I still feel this way at 31 weeks! I still have this fear. Im sure it doesnt end when baby comes out either. Congrats on your BFP!

 

[jack79]

Thanks ladies! It's gonna be a long 9 months!!

Hopefully with some decent sleep this weekend I'll feel less worried! I haven't slept well at all this week. So glad it's Friday!

Thank you! yes that photo is of my Baby B (Cecelia) We couldnt get Baby A to pose well for a good one.

It's rough I hear if people know you're going through IVF they ask you questions daily and I hear it gets old really fast. Hang in there though you're doing great.

I wish I had found a way to put the worry to the side but I still havent Although I feel much better there is still the what if there. We have all went through so much to get where we are so it's understandable but frustrating still.

 

[barbikins]

Jack, thats' amazing. Congrats!
How many days post what transfer are you today?
You will worry - that's natural. Enjoy it though xo

Evie, I'm so glad the clinic is going to pay for this one. That was a BIG mistake!!!!!
Fingers crossed. But one more screw up & I say you need to see a new RE!

I have my bloods tomorrow but I have been testing at home & all bfn's so I'm already working through a FET in my head.

 

[L4hope]

Sorry this cycle isn't panning out barbikins. My little guy is the product of an FET. I'm a strong believer in FET's as your body isn't put through the stress of stimming and ER. I also had an endo biopsy the month before too which might be something to look into.

 

[L4hope]

Sandy how are things going? Thinking of you...

 

[Mells54]

Jack, so exciting...congrats! I agree with the others, the worry never ends. I'm almost 34 weeks, and constantly think what could go wrong.

 

[jack79]

Thanks ladies Yesterday on my otd i was exactly 2 weeks on from a 5 day FET. Hope u get a positive result barbikins x

Do you mean the eggs didnt fertilize or they lost them completely? From your signature it seems they didnt fertilize with ICSI? I hope this time you get a much better fertilization report!! What did they say was the issue? Sometimes it is out of their control though if the fertilization rate is poor and that is part of the problem that unfortunately cant be predicted. Sounds like they have great plans this time and are doing what is needed so you dont hyperstimulate. I wish my clinic would have given us a free try at least one of the FETs since we ended up doing so many cycles!

Barbikins: I am sorry your cycle didnt work But FETs are great! I agree with the endometrial scratch biopsy as well as I had that before my FET that finally worked.

 

[jack79]

I had an endometrial scratch too x

 

[Turkey16]

Congrats Jack!!! So exciting and unbelievably nerve-wracking. Like Brandy said...you gotta find your happy place and STAY POSITIVE!!! That's what's best for baby!!!

Sorry Barbikins...sounds like you have a great attitude though.

How's it going L4? How old is baby? Trevor, right?? How are things going??

Hey MoBaby!! It's almost time for you!! Wow!! Soooo exciting!!

Brandy...love the name Cecelia!!! What did you decide on for your other lil gal??

Evie...I'm curious about what happened to you too!

Thinking of you Sandy...pretty sure you and DH were seeing the doc yesterday.

Anybody hear from Ali??

AFM...got a call from my doc after my u/s on Monday of last week. She told me the tech noticed what could be just a shadow, or could possibly be what's called a CCAM on baby girl' lung. Have to see a perinatogist on Monday. Any of you guys know anything about this?? The doc was extremely optimistic as whatever they saw was super tiny and the only real danger comes when these CCAMs become large and prohibit the lung from forming properly. She also told me there are treatment options galore should, god forbid, it actually be an issue. Not expecting you guys to know much about these, as I certainly didn't, but I do know you're all one helluva good bunch of pray-ers, so I thought maybe you could add me & the babes to your list. We go in Monday @ 9am. Thanks in advance!

Hope everybody else is doing well! xo

 

[~Brandy~]

Turkey I wouldnt get worked up about CCAMs. It's actually just lesions on a lung but the chances if I remember correctly are like 1 in 40,000. They thought my daughter had it previously. Even if they do find that it really is CCAMs it can be repaired via a quick surgery before the child is 2. The only way that this is detected is usually through U/S so you can imagine how many people are actually walking around with it that are completely fine and probably have it from lack of u/s.

 

[Mells54]

Turkey, I'm sorry you have such a scare, but like you said I'm praying for you and the baby that all is ok. Brandy is so knowledgeable that her explanation sounds like odds are in your favor. Keep us posted.
