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

[alicatt]

Baby, my mc lasted about 9 days and then next period was 42 days later. I've kept a journal so I just looked back.

AFM - just got a call from my fs. I have elevated NK cells... Going in on Wednesday for my endometrium scrape and a chat about treatment during my FET. Very very glad I had the blood test now and that we didn't waste any more good embies!! Xx

Hey Ever,

Yes I'm happy I did the blood test too! I'm curious to hear what they suggest for your treatment. My FS recommends IVIg infusions through the first trimester. I think there are also drugs that can be used to help as well, but I'm not sure what they are? I think my scrapes will be right around when yours are. Sounds like we are at the same point in our cycles! I'm on CD 14 today. So I guess I'm ovulating? I've had EWCM for the past few days.

when are you ladies doing your scrapes?

 

[everhopeful]

Ttc - I'm doing mine on the 6th, next Wednesday!!

when are you ladies doing your scrapes?

Mine is TBD but they initially scheduled mine for CD 20 and 22 so that would be Thursday and Saturday next week. I'll know more on Monday.

Ali - it's great to not feel alone!! I'm cd19 so we are very close. Xx

Good luck, please update me. I will be doing mine around march 25th or there about. I am trying to schedule it now.

No worries, I'll be posting about it. My FS did say that it will take about 10 days to get the results from the biopsy though. So I probably won't know much until right around your biopsy. From what I have heard it isn't much different from getting a PAP done. Just a little uncomfortable for a few seconds, and then maybe some minor cramping that day.

My RE doesnt test for elevated NK cells.... He doesnt really follow that as a cause for repeated MC....I would like to be tested though. However, I do not think this is my problem.

Just talked to the lab, no frosties ��

 

[MoBaby]

mells you wont need them!!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

mells sorry to hear that hun! I do hope that your two lil embies stick though!

Alicatt - yes that is what I would like to hear about. They are doing my scratch not to biopsy it but to help with the implantation process during my ivf cycle. There have been reports that it helps alot. I have never been pregnant do you know if NK cells only cause miscarriage or can it cause infertility as well? The test is about 600 and we just dont have the money for it, but my plan is that if this ivf doesnt work, hopefully we will have some frosties and I will have the test done then.

Mo - I genuinely didn't think it was my problem and having had a son the chance of me having it was very very slim but the results don't lie I guess. Next path to wind down .....

Mells: good luck with your two embies! Hopefully, you'll have your hands full in about 9 months.

 

[everhopeful]

Mells - you won't need them!! Hope your embies are nice and snugly. X

 

[everhopeful]

Ttc my fs really feels the scratch helps with implantation. I wouldn't worry about the NK cell test. They only suggest it after about 2-3 miscarriages. I wasn't going to do it but before spending any more money putting any embies back in I just wanted to make sure as I've had 3 miscarriages.

I'm sorry to hear that Mells, but you won't need them!

AFM, horrible AF this time. I usually only have cramps the first day. Now on day 3 and seriously sick of them! I wonder if it is from the progesterone and estrogen shots I was on? WTF meeting on Monday. Not sure what the next step will be. Just try again? Starting to feel like it will never happen. How do you guys combat this feeling?

 

[BabyD225]

I would think no earlier than May. It depends on what protocol the dr uses. Mine was a long protocol including 18 days of BCPs.

AFM, 12.8mm triple lining!

She said they wait for my next AF.. then either piggyback my natural ovulation or put me on estrogen for two weeks then pick the day that they but the embryo in. She said the estrogen protocol is more guaranteed than the natural one.. I just hope it is all over with soon..

Nice lining First! WOOHOO!

BabyD- I'm doing the estrogen protocol for a trial FET now. I've had some minor side effects, mostly giant sore boobs, bloating and swelling in my abdomen, feet and hands, and emotional! I have been at silly things like seeing babies on TV and annoying TV commercials. So it is bearable!

Thanks for the info ALi- When do you think you'll be able to do a real FET if all goes well with the trial?

 

[everhopeful]

Edamame - sorry you are suffering with cramps. I've now had two failed attempts and my second hurt a lot more than my first emotionally I mean. Not sure why but it just did!!
It's amazing how we brush ourselves off and look to the next step...
Do you have a list of questions?
Xx

 

[Edamame]

Yes, some questions! I want to ask about those NK cells you've been talking about. And if the protocol should be different since it "worked" after the fresh transfer even if it didn't last. Or if he thinks something is wrong with our embryos. Or if it is just me. I'm really wishing I had met my husband much sooner! Thought I'd be having a baby(s) by my 37th birthday in September, but nope. Sorry I'm being so whiny, just have to rant a bit!

 

[L4hope]

Mells sorry none made it to freeze. Hopefully your little embies are getting comfy cozy.

Afm, appt was as good as it can be this early on. They saw the sac and yolk sac and possibly the fetal pole but no heartbeat yet. Of course I know logically that its normal not to see it yet, I'm just so nervous and won't feel at ease until its there. Maybe ill be nervous the whole time who knows. Infertility and mc really make a girl a nervous nelly!
