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

[ashknowsbest]

bluebell - yay on being PUPO! FX'd this is it for you!

wannabeemum - that's not too bad. I don't get anything back from my insurance provider but I think it's still worth it! Thanks for the advice. I really wasn't sure if I should be doing it while suppressing or while stiming but think I would rather do it while stiming just because it's expensive as it is and adding more weeks would be crazy. Thanks again!

Em - yay for getting started on Monday! You have been waiting a while for this moment and I'm so happy for you that you're finally here!

 

[Boofle]

Em I'm so happy for you hun. Yay for getting started
Bluebell congrats on being PUPO sending you lots of
Ash welcome back
Lotus those women sound horrid. I know its hard but try to ignore them. You're best off out of it.
Phantom thats the best news. I bet you and the parents are delighted
Everyone else hope you're having a lovely weekend

So happy to hear everyone is doing well!

L4hope and Blue! Congrats on being PUPO!!!

Ash! welcome back! The acupuncture changes depending on what stage you are at, the sooner you start the more balanced your chi will be. I think the most important part is the stim portion up to and including before/after transfer. I know it's expensive so weigh that and the benefits and see what works for you!

First! I had to laugh at your chi issues! Hopefully it won't continue to be like that! Talk to you acupuncturist and let them know, they may adjust your next visit.

Em! YAY for AF arriving! I'm so excited for you, it's been a long road for you, and it's now time! FX'd for a great cycle!

Phantom! Have you talked to the intended parents? Are they excited? I am! I totally want twins!!!!

AFM.. still no AF, I got the results of my blood work yesterday and they were able to determine that I ovulated, and AF was on her way soon, but they gave me provera to ensure I have a good flow and we start fresh. So I'm still waiting.. It was nice to know my body was able to ovulate and do its thing naturally! So hurry up AF!!

 

[MoBaby]

Yay!!! I'm ovulating today! Which means I'm back to normal today is cd14... I still have af (lightly) but I'm just happy about ovulating b/c that means in 28 days I'll do it again and fet will happen in about 33 days!! Yay!!

Em glad you are getting started!
Ali sorry no af still! How frustrating!

 

[LotusBlossom]

Woohoo Mo! Yay for moving forward!

 

[Edamame]

Phantom- wow, amazing! Congrats! The parents must just be so thrilled!

Lotus- Sorry to hear you are being treated so horribly. Hope you find a good supportive community in your new home. Your etsy jewelry is so neat!

Bluebell and L4hope- Congrats on being PUPO! Two more days and I'll be there with you! Praying for 100% BFPs on this thread!

Mo, Em, Ali- Yay for getting things going again! It won't be long now!

Ash- Welcome back, best of luck on your new cycle!

 

[Mells54]

L4 and Blue, yeah for being PUPO

Em and Mo, yeah for getting started.

AFM, did my first follistim shot this morning. I'm off and running.

 

[everhopeful]

L4 and Blue - hope that you are enjoying your 2WW!! So exiting that you are PUPO!!!

Mo - Great your body has got itself back so quickly!!

Em - Thats great AF has shown up

Ali - hope AF arrives for you soon!!

Mells - great that you are on your way!!!

So sorry if I missed anyone,

AFM - Well AF just showed up for me today - really quite late!! We are using February as an investigative month - having a mid cycle scan, an endometrium scratch and quite a few blood tests - with a rough FET date late March if all goes ok.
Just a bit peed off about my body being late - we are both teachers and were hoping that the FET would fit in with Easter holidays. I have sent an e-mail to my consultant to ask if I can bring on a bleed or period if the worst comes to the worst - will see what he says - I guess there are just some things that are out of your control??

Hope you are all having a good weekend

 

[everhopeful]

Also myself and my husband are really torn about whether to put back one or two embryos - So far we have only ever put back one... just wondering if anyone has the same problem deciding or if you make up your mind very easily??? I find it is just so much to weigh up and finding it all a bit hard if I'm honest ... sorry will shut up now..

 

[MoBaby]

hey ever ... i am doing one b/c of my uterus shape but i have put back 2 prior to knowing about my uterus....with frosties i feel comfortable doing 1 b/c the success rate is good because only the best embryos survive! you have to be prepared to carry twins if you want that and all the additional stress that comes with that. and have to be prepared for early delivery, potential complications, etc. If I had a normal uterus I would put back 2, knowing everything that could potentially go wrong.

My RE and the embryologist said that transferring 2 only increases your chance for multiples, not increasing the chance of pregnancy. RE also said that if their is a problem with one of the embryos and you transfer two and start to miscarry one that chances are you would miscarry the second because of the bleeding, etc. You have 4 chances if you do it one by one but only 2 if you do 2 at a time. Hope you decide soon!!
Sorry AF showed up late and you cant do easter break... This is just me but I would not take provera again to induce a period (esp if you are regular) because I am scared this played a role in my MC but for timing purposes the RE can do just about anything to make things "right" for your dates.

So I did another ovulation test and its negative?? Makes no sense? I usually can test positive all day. I am wondering if its because I used FMU (CB digital says its okay) and then later day urine. IDK. Also I started bleeding heavily again. I dont know what gives but its day 14 and I am over it! Calling RE Monday.

I'm using Feb as an investigation month too! We're doing a double uterine biopsy to try to pinpoint my implantation window. With my latest delay with AF being MIA I think my dates will be a bit later than yours, I was really hoping to have this baby in 2013, but if we delay too much further it will push me into January 2014! Still I think we will be on similar cycles. I just want to push forward to FET! Can't wait to hear about the results of your testing. I hope it is all positive, and/or something you can treat!

 

[everhopeful]

Mo - thank you so much for your detailed response!! Helped me to solidify some thoughts!!

Ali- so happy we will be going through it again!! Hope your bubs makes it into 2013!! It's not too late yet!! Xx

 

[cali_kt]

Hi ladies,
Just wanted to check in. I'm back from Maui. Today was my 3rd day of Luperon. On the 14th I decrease my dose and start my vivelle patches. ET is March 5th.
Hope you are all doing well!

 

[everhopeful]

Wow Cali - welcome back!! Hope you had an amazing time!!
Really not long to go now!
Xx

 

[BabyD225]

Bluebell- how ru doing in 2ww??

 

[Em260]

First - yikes sorry about those chi issues . Hopefully that won't happen again.

Ali - great news that you ovulated!! It's good your RE is giving you provera so you can start with a fresh lining too

Mo - yay for ovulation!! It could be that your afternoon was too diluted. That used to happen to me.

Mells - yay for getting started!!

Ever - sorry AF is so late . Hopefully they can help you with the next cycle so it will fit with the Easter holiday. I've been worrying about the timing this cycle and it's such a pain!

Cali - welcome back!!

 

[Mells54]

Well ladies, today is the day. I'm leaving town for the big "city." I start my monitoring this week and will be staying near my RE so that I don't have to commute back and forth each day. It will be a mini vacation for me since I won't be working the next couple of weeks. EC will be here before I know it!

Good luck to everyone starting injections, EC, ET, and the 2WW. This is a process to say the least!

 

[annmc30]

Gdluck this week ladies Im off to gran canaria in the morning

 

[Bluebell bun]

Bluebell- how ru doing in 2ww??

Have had a vey chilled weekend juts lounging about the house. Am back to work tomorrow so hopefully that will serve as a bit of a distraction. Am trying to channel positive vibes to my embies. My OH says I am too negative at times and the embryologist yesterday totally agreed with him about the power of positive thinking. Did you get anything suitable to freeze? We didn't so here's hoping this works!

Glad to hear everyone is making progress. Good luck Mell with your monitoring, it will fly in until retrieval.

Ann , have a lovely holiday.

Boofle, Em, Ever, Ali , Mo, lotus, Ash and everyone else, hope you've had a lovely weekend

Good luck Cali with your FET, glad you are feeling better.

 

[alicatt]

Happy Sunday everyone..

Wishing you all a relaxing day, especially those in the 2WW. I hope those little embies are getting nice and comfortable in there!

I have a Question has anyone ever taken provera before? It is normal to feel exhausted all the time? I'm just zonked. I get a few hours to get a few things done, and then I'm pooped, to the point where I could sleep for hours. Has anyone else felt like that?
