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

[ashknowsbest]

ali - so sorry to hear that, it is super frustrating I can imagine. I don't have any experience with lining issues but I really hope your doctors can figure out what's happening.

 

[MoBaby]

Ali!! Soo sorry!! Ugh. Maybe we'll cycle together.. Hopefully things get straightened out!!

Ash when will they call??

 

[alicatt]

Ali!! Soo sorry!! Ugh. Maybe we'll cycle together.. Hopefully things get straightened out!!

Ash when will they call??

Thanks all.. I've never had a lining issue before in fact if anything its been on the thick side so it suddenly being non-existent is just odd. Only thing I can think of is that the estrogen shot is not for me

 

[MoBaby]

I've never had issue before either and now it won't thin out or go back to normal!! I think all these drugs we use are bad stuff! They mess you up!

 

[Edamame]

BabyD- so sorry to hear you are still in purgatory- it is the worst. I hope it is just a late starter- like Boofle, for mine, I had spotting so I really couldn't believe anything good was happening. But hopefully it will continue to grow, and I really hope you get a definite answer soon!

Alicatt- that seriously sucks! This process is so f-ed up. But, on the good side, now you know that estrogen shots are probably not good for you and they can try something else.

 

[BabyD225]

ok so they called with my next HCG level.. so they are as follows:

12dp3dt=147
18dpt= 824
21dpt= 1381
25dpt= 2390

She said it can go either way but be more prepared for the worst. Anyone have any success stories??

 

[ashknowsbest]

They called around 10:30 and told me to go in around 1 .... so I got there and we transferred two embryos. One was 3BD ... not even sure what to think ... I just know that it isn't the highest quality and the other was a tad bit behind that so .... I'm feeling okay.

I had a breakdown in the recovery just because my doctor said that ICSI would yield better quality embryos and it didn't .... we had the same results last time but I'm still trying to remain hopeful that I have success this time around.

 

[MoBaby]

Ash don't worry!!! You need pma rest up and I'm sure you will have a good outcome!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Thanks Mo! I'm just a huge worry wort but I'm laying on the couch right now thinking positive thoughts and doing homework.

 

[Mells54]

Ali, sorry about your lining issues. I'm glad things are getting figured out during the trial rather than your actual FET.

Ash, congrats on being PUPO! I think the grading of embryos makes it even harder sometimes. Hang in there.

BabyD, the numbers are rising so that's positive. Hopefully things will kick into gear here soon.

AFM, no symptoms really...but I have a question (maybe TMI) but I have this watery discharge. Not a lot, but enough to be annoying. I keep thinking is it AF, but it's clear and no odor. Anyone experience this? I'm getting impatient!

 

[Edamame]

Mells, sorry I didn't have anything like that, although I had yucky discharge from the vaginal estrogen and estrace tablets- are you doing any of those?

Congrats on being PUPO Ash!

AFM- had my WTF appointment. The doctor said he really could not give us a reason for why it didn't work, everything looked good including my lining, my levels, the timing, and the embryos. He wants me to get that endometrium biopsy/scratch, talk to a counselor about how to reduce my stress levels, and do acupuncture this time. Everything else will pretty much be the same. He recommended against genetic testing or NK cell testing since I haven't had multiple miscarriages. If we go through the four frosties that are left and still nothing, he'd recommend genetic testing of any embryos we get if we do the full IVF process again. He's also going to look at my twin's charts (she went to a different doctor in the same clinic) and see if there's anything there that might give a clue. The scheduling nurse is going to call in a day or two with the new schedule, and I'm starting BC pills tomorrow. Hope hope hope. DH is just depressed, I don't know what to do for him.

 

[WannabeeMum]

thanks for all of the well wishes for tomorrow girls! I'm getting very excited but nervous now!

As far as POAS I think we're all deep down obsessed with it!

Good luck tomorrow!

And I agree - we all like POAS no matter how hard we try to hide it.

I must be odd since I've only POAS maybe 4 times in the 8 years TTC! And twice was when I was actually pregnant.

I was 4 times in a week just to make sure the second line was still there. Are you going to wait until your OTD??

Part of the reason I haven't POAS often is bc my period is so regular. I go to bed with a pad on bc I know the following morning AF will be there.
Not sure what my plan is yet. My OTD is Friday but since I'm having it done in a small lab here in town, my nurse said they might not get the results right away. I might just see what the HPT says Friday or Saturday at home

You have much more self control than I ever would!

 

[WannabeeMum]

Edamame - sending you a big hug. It's frustrating that you don't have answers but at least it sounds like your FS has a plan for you. I'm an advocate for acupuncture and believe it could make a difference!

BabyD - keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Ash - rest up and let those little babies settle in!!

AFM - 10 more days until my 12 week scan. This wait is worse than the 2ww...

 

[Mells54]

Not feeling real confident right now. Feels like AF is right around the corner. Ugg...

 

[MoBaby]

Mells: THINK POSITIVE!! Bet af is not coming!!

Lotus- I feel for you about your dogs. My husband and I have friends that live in Oahu and we decided we were going to start the process of moving there. We go there about 2x a year and ready to live there. The one thing holding us back- our dogs. I wish we could just charter a flight. I'm interested to see other options DH finds and how your dogs do. We also have 2 large dogs. One is 70 and one is 75 pounds.

TTC- Do you live in the bahamas now? Sooo jealous. See what I just posted to Lotus. So when you charter a flight do they just ride in the main cabin? We are still dreaming of getting to Hawaii for permanent residence.

Ash- Congrats on being PUPO!!!! Stay positive. My RE doesn't go off the grading system too much!!

Ali- How frustrating! I'm sorry to hear this.

Baby D- I'm sorry you are going through all this. Just wanted to offer some I think it's encouraging to see growth & a climbing HCG! There has to be some good stories about slow growers. I'm sorry you're stuck in limbo land!

First- Nice lining!!! Good luck Weds! I will be transferring on tues!

Ever- GL on wednesday with your scrape. Let us know how it all goes!

Wannabee- I can understand feeling nervous during the first trimester. Just think you are almost done!! KUP on your next scan! Have you been released back to your OB yet?

Mells- Sorry to hear that you don't have any frosties, but fx'd you won't need em!! You are doing good withholding from POAS. I don't think I will be able to stop myself!!! Remember a lot of girls feel like AF is coming & they are preggo!!!

Edamame- Sorry to hear AF is a total ! Insult to injury. I can understand the feeling like it is never going to happen. I think it just comes in waves for me. Sorry your meeting didn't offer much answers. How do you feel about it? Glad you're getting the scrape. I love acupuncture and recommend it to everyone!

L4- Sounds exciting! When will your next u/s be?

Sam- Hoping the additional meds will help with growth! Glad you're going to acu, because I love it and think it works!

Valentine- Loads of luck on Wednesday's retrieval!!

Turkey- GL at your mock transfer! Hope Aetna cooperates!!

AFM- My transfer is tomorrow (Tuesday)! Please send me lots of prayers, good thoughts, finger crossing and baby dust please!!!

 

[FirstTry]

BabyD: so sorry you are stuck in this limbo. I hope your miracle pulls thru.

Ali: that is bizarre and so frustrating. You are normally the one with the super thick lining.

Edamame: I know it's difficult when your partner takes it so hard. My DH took our m/c quite hard. Hugs to you. It will get better.

Ash: I kinda don't believe the grading system. It doesn't seem to make a difference in outcome, so I don't think you should focus on that.

Mells: watery sounds good to me.

Wannabe: congrats on making it this far! We all hope to be there soon

Cali: good luck! Your day is finally here (well, almost)

 

[FirstTry]

AFM, I had to do my own PIO shot tonight. I was scared, but it wasn't bad after icing. Question: does anyone else experience sore muscles where you do the shots? I've been doing them in my backside and it feels like I've been doing squats with 100 lb weights!

I've got just over 36 hours until my transfer. Yay!

 

[Samsfan]

Thanks. I love acupuncture and highly recommend it. Good luck tomorrow!

I'm looking at that shot tomorrow night. Not looking forward to it. Good luck with transfer!
