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

[cali_kt]

Lotus- Sounds promising!! I think the positive route is best! So 4 more days now till test? Is that the OTD or are you POAS?

Ash- Posted for you on ICSI board.

Mo- oh no. I can understand how frustrated you are. April does seem so far but hoping it flies by for you. And definitely hoping that you don't need a DNC.

Sam- Lots of luck as you start this journey!!

Ann- How amazing is that?! What a beautiful sight! Congrats again!!

L4- Great beta!!! Can't wait to hear how the u/s goes!

Ali- Glad things are moving along. Wish it was time for your FET too!

Sandy- I'm sorry. So sad to hear this.

BabyD- I kind of wish they would not have done the u/s so early. I would think its way too early. And like edadame said I bet most don't see anything at all. I think your numbers sound good! Crossing everything that your numbers are sky high at next beta!

Babies- Awww babies Over the moon for you!!

AFM- I had my lining check and I'm good to go. I can't help but get excited. I'm trying not to be too excited though. Our due date would be Thanksgiving! How great would that be?!

Thanks Cali- I feel the same.. just worried now... my beta doubling time is 58 hours.. which isn't too far off from 48.. just hope its a a slow starter.. I've read some nice stories of low betas that turned out well! xo

Trying to enjoy the rest of the evening for me and DH anniversary today... had a nice meal and now catching up on DVR

 

[FirstTry]

BabyD: my friend calls the early u/s the "black dot test", as in it's so early that all you can expect to see is a black dot. So, that part doesn't sound unusual.

Babies: YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!! Fantastic news!


AFM, 9 days til transfer. I think we're shooting for only one because DH is worried about complications with twin pregnancies. But I told him if this doesn't work, we're doing 2 next time.

Cali_kt- I am POAS on the 1st, but my OTD is on the 5th. We're only doing one beta (13dp5dt), so the number should be very high. Fingers crossed!!! I think it's ok to get excited. Enjoy it! I am going to enjoy those times rather than always trying to guard my feelings. It breaks my heart either way if things don't work out. I'd rather have some happy times.

 

[cali_kt]

BabyD- Sounds like a relaxing evening! Happy Anniversary!

Lotus- So true--your heart will break regardless. So might as well be as positive as possible. Being PUPO is the closest I will have ever gotten so far...so that is exciting in itself! Crossing everything for you!!

 

[everhopeful]

Baby- I have you in my thoughts. It's easy to say but try not stress. You have 2 very good betas!! Everything crossed for you.

Lotus - love your positive thinking!!

Cali - great that things are all set to go!!

Mo - so frustrating!! Does your FS think the BCP will control all the bleeding?

Ali- it feels like time is dragging but hopefully all this experimenting will lead to our BFP's!!

Xx

Hi ladies!

Thought I'd join this thread! I'm on CD 4, started my stims CD2 and on Thursday I'll start orgalutran and I have my scan and bloods next Monday! At the moment my main fear is OHSS, I just really want to make it through this cycle! I'm feeling bloated and a little crampy at the moment!

Bit about me, I'm 25, OH 26 who has slightly low count. This is our first IVF/ICSI cycle. Had no idea what to expect but I'm finding it's not as hard as I thought it would be. It's definitely mainly emotionally challenging!

Goodluck to you all, I've had a quick read through and there's lots of positive stories, here's hoping it all happens to us all soon

Ever: the dr doesn't know why I'm bleeding or why my lining is so messed up but he hoping it will control the hormone levels. Esrtadiol was 60 and progesterone was 0.6 yesterday. So I didn't respond to the provera. He is hoping that when I finish the oak and start the withdrawal bleed it will cause the bad lining to come out. RE nurse said he wants to do this before another D&c. I really want a better explanation but I can't really speak with the dr when I call unless I go in for an appt. I'm thinking at this point there must have been some tissue he missed. And I think my body is trying to expel it which is why I'm bleeding and the thick lining is from it being in there and the uterus reacting.. That's my theory but who knows.

 

[everhopeful]

Oh Mo I'm really sorry! Such a long winding path...

Really hope the BCP takes control of your hormones and helps your body to expel the lining!!

This next cycle is the one for you!! Will it go ahead around April? Spring, new life!!

Xx

 

[MoBaby]

I'm hoping. If this works then week of April 15th would be the timing.

 

[L4hope]

Welcome Valentine and good luck! It's definitely emotionally draining at times. But you'll find a lot of wonderful supportive ladies here who share your struggles.

 

[everhopeful]

Welcome valentine - are you having scans and blood tests whilst stimming? Not long to go until egg retrieval! X

 

[Mells54]

Welcome Valentine. Everyone here is wonderful since we have all gone through this, and most people have had something thrown in their that has effected their cycle one way or another. Good luck!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

first - not too long until your transfer!

lotus - such a great mindset How is the move going?

valentine - welcome to the group!

So after a night of not sleeping.. I'm now at work and just thinking... Why couldn't any of this be easy. i see girls get pregnant who shouldn't be having children or who don't even want them. Our next door neighbor got pregnant without trying and she decided to have an abortion because she was so upset and said she wasnt ready. How is it so easy for some people?

I looked at these calculators online who says my HCG levels are doubling every 58 hours... I know it's not 48.. but is 10 hours slower really that bad? Waiting until thursday for my next beta is miserable... i want to crawl into a hole. I'm trying to stay optimistic (even if I dont seem it) but it's all I can think about. We were going to tell my parents today and DH on Saturday...and now we're not. We actually have a big dinner planned at my parents and i dont even want to go tonight. Now i know why people wait 12 weeks to tell people. My coworkers know that I went through IVF and when I walked in today they asked hows the baby? I can't help but want to cry!

 

[Sandy83]

Ah baby, I'm so sorry you are going through all this, wish there was something i could say to make it better. Thinking of you and DH at this hard time xx

 

[ashknowsbest]

babyd - so sorry you're going through this

 

[Edamame]

BabyD, although my fresh ivf ended up being a loss after consistently low betas, it doesn't always mean that! I probably tell too many stories about my twin sister, but her betas were slower with both her sons, so it made me hopeful for mine. It made things very anxious for her for a long time, and she always said she never felt like she got to enjoy being pregnant (by the time it was clear both boys were going to stick she got severe hyperemesis both pregnancies). I pray that your numbers will continue to double and you get to keep this one!

 

[BabyD225]

Thanks Edamame- What were your sister's beta's if you know? I'm doubling at 57 hours... wish I had something more definitive. I certainly feel pregnant and now worried. xoxo

 

[L4hope]

BabyD I'm so sorry for what you are going through. We did the same thing when we first got pregnant as we were sure that it was our time. The only thing I can say is at least you will have support and understanding. IF things go bad. But I honestly feel like you still have good reason to hope with you beta numbers. Ive read where the doubling range at less than 1200 is 48-72 hours and you're kinda in the middle of that. Thursday can't come soon enough I know. Hang in there girl!
