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

[Babiesimready]

Really? Yes, the nurse said it is low, so I need to be monitored closely and get another beta, which we weren't planning to do. I have to fly to AZ tomorrow night and then VA on Sunday and back to AZ on the following Thurs or Fri. It's tough to set up appts during this time. I hope it keeps rising and is ok. I'm scared.

You had FET and with my knowledge, they are slower than fresh cycles. I wouldnt lose hope...celebrate your pregnancy

Cali- I am having assisted hatching. I don't see any down side. Why are you on bed rest? Congratulations! So exciting!

I'm triggering tonight and ER Thursday.

Hi everyone....
Well I am officially PUPO!!!! I can't believe this day is finally here. It felt like it would never happen. So we lost one embie during the thaw process. Pretty disappointing. But they thawed another, so we got 2 transferred. They did have to have assisted hatching. I guess the zona was thick. A little worriesome. Anyone else have assisted hatching? This is going to be a long wait!! See my avatar pic for my beauties!!!

My doctor recommends a modified bed rest for first 2 days. Nothing that would raise BP, temp and no stress. I said sure..I can relax and watch movies and catch up on homework!
OTD- March 15 ance:

My clinic always does assisted hatching with FET. I think it's better to do so.

Good luck!

Lotus- Crossing everything for you. I am no HCG expert, but yours sounds good!

Em- I saw those double lines on your journal!!! beautiful!!

First- Congrats on being PUPO!!! When is your OTD? Mine is 3/15. Will you POAS before that?!!

Darn straight I will POAS! I plan to start on Sunday, 4dp5dt. A bit early, but it's our anniversary and that would be an amazing gift

I think my OTD of 3/19/13 is kinda mean. Why make me wait so long? If I get a BFP on a HPT, I might try to get my regular OB/GYN to order a beta (I'm sneaky like that )

HEHE.. I would too! My FS is like that too, makes me wait forever for that first BETA. I think they just want to see a stong one. Either that or maybe they don't want to have a reported pregnancy that doesn't take? I know that they have to report their data to some national database, so maybe they don't want the 'chemical' pregnancies or early losses to cloud their data? IDK. I have always said I would go see my GP for an early BETA if I suspected I was pregnant.

Turkey - great news!!!

Ali - Its so annoying to have set backs but it will lead to a BFP!!! Do you think it was the patches??

Cali and First - congrats on being PUPO!!

Lotus - your numbers sound great to me. I will keep everything crossed for you and your next beta but I think it sounds great!!

AFM - I had my endo scratch today. Wasn't painful - little uncomfortable but not what I would describe as painful. Feeling a little uncomfortable now but I have not had any painkillers as yet. I have also come home with all my meds for my FET and steroids for my NK cells. Hoping for a 7th April transfer...

Hope everyone else is well, xx

Em - MAssive congrats!!! Brilliant, brilliant news!!!

Thanks Ever!

I was doing shots, and they want to switch me to patches. I think it was the shots, and possibly a combination of my body still recovering from the last IVF? My my counts, I should be getting AF in a week, and then the biopsies will be on April fools day! Then the real transfer will be on the 29th of April. I think. Delays in AF could push that out further.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Cali - I said it in the other thread but congrats again on being PUPO!

Lotus - I wouldn't worry about the beta too much. I haven't ever been in your position but from what I've read anything over 100 is good Try not to stress too much!

Em - congrats girl, I think it's a BFP!

Sandy - your WTF appointment is on my birthday! I hope your doctor can give you some answers then!

Turkey - that's amazing that Atena reversed their decision! How did you guys get them to do that?! They wouldn't do it for me

First - Congrats on being PUPO and that survival rate is amazing!! FX'd for you!

ever - I'm happy to hear that your procedure wasn't too painful today! April will come so quickly!

AFM - I went in this morning to get my progesterone checked and it's at 34 which is good. I also found out that they were able to freeze one of the embryos so we have 1 ! I just want to dance around and scream. I know it's not a lot but I just feel so good that I will be able to do one FET before going through the whole IVF process again! I've been thinking though. I only have IVF coverage through April of next year ... so do you girls think it would maybe be smart to go through the 2 remaning fresh cycles that I have covered and freeze whatever is good? That way at least I have frosties for when that part of my insurance coverage is no longer usable?

LMAO at your response to POAS! I will be doing it too! I just can't help it. I already want to. I have been having dull cramping since transfer. Just starting to have a little pressure. Hopefully this is all good!!! Your OTD is so far!!!
BTW- beautiful embie pic!!!!!!!

Glad your scratch went well!! And how exciting to have your FET date!!

First my re makes me wait 14 days after transfer to do beta!! That's wayyyyyy to long!!! I wonder why?? I should ask why is fresh at 14dpo and frozen at 19dpo.

It's weird. They tested 10dp5dt during my fresh cycle, but they insist it was 13dp5dt. But I have the dates to prove that they are wrong Anyway, now they are sticking to their 13dp guns. The only difference is that I had gotten a BFP on a HPT last time before I made the appointment. Maybe that's why it was 3 days earlier

Maybe frozen takes longer to implant? The doctor did say that the frozen embie looks different because it had shrunk while freezing and hasn't expanded yet, so maybe the expansion adds time.

How's things with you, Mo? Are you on BCPs now?

 

[FirstTry]

Ash: great news about your frostie! As for the insurance question, hopefully it will be moot because you will have your miracle baby this time around If not, you have coverage for another year+, so I think it's worth trying with the frostie first.

Thank you. I'm a proud mamma! (of a blastocyst)

I had dull cramping every day after my fresh transfer and it was a BFP. So, it's not a bad sign. But the nurse today said not to read into symptoms because it could be the meds causing them.

 

[MoBaby]

Ash congrats on the frostie!!

I would say if this cycle doesn't work then do fresh and maybe get more frosties. If I had coverage id do another fresh before using frosties.

 

[ashknowsbest]

thanks everyday for the advice! I'm still very happy about my ! I'm also feeling very positive lately so FX'd!

 

[Sandy83]

Ash, i agree with Mo with regards to fresh before using frosties

Mo, have you had anymore updates any news on when you will get started etc? Sorry if you have posted this info earlier can't keep track at the moment xx

Hey Ever....so glad your scratch went well. It's so amazing to read about all the things that can be done! I'm really glad it wasn't too painful, and that you're all set for the next go around!! April 7th will be here before you know it!!! Best of luck!!!
