[L4hope]

Mells I'm so sorry it's just not fair going through so much disappointment.

 

[alicatt]

Mells - so sorry to hear I'd just go home pretend you are sick.

L4hope - great news about your scan!

Not much going on here for me.. just keeping up with all of your posts. I'm on day 5 of 7 days of provera, hoping AF arrives next week and we can try to get my lining to co-operate this time!

 

[Em260]

Ali - hope Af shows!

L4 - congrats on your scan!! so great that you got to see your little bean

 

[ashknowsbest]

L4hope - yay congrats on your scan and seeing your baby!

Mells - I'm so sorry I would also pretend to be sick and go home. Its so hard to concentrate on anything.

Ali - you're almost there!!

Hello Everyone...I'm freaking out today. I'm currently 5weeks and 4 days and I havent been having any symptoms so far other than nausea mostly in the afternoon, dizziness and soreness on my nipples which could also be from the progesterone but right now, I'm having af like cramps. No bleeding but I'm so nervous. Anyone experienced this at 5+ weeks??

 

[LotusBlossom]

I'm so sorry, Mells. It's just not fair.

Babies- are you spotting or just cramping? I wouldn't worry too much, but call your Dr for reassurance if it will help.

AFM- I'm waiting for results from my second beta yesterday afternoon at the new ob/gyn office. It was really nice and the Dr I saw was very sweet. My ankles swelled up last night and are swollen again today. Unfortunately, I can't put my feet up. We flew to San Diego this morning to pick up my car and are driving back to AZ. Hopefully I can relax a bit before dinner tonight. I've never had swollen ankles before, so I hope it's because there's a baby in there causing trouble.

 

[Babiesimready]

L4, Good Luck for your scan today can't wait to see your post!

Mells, Good luck with POAS this morning look forward to seeing that

Babies, How are you doing, am i right in thinking you had another sono yesterday? Hope you are ok?

Hope everyone else is well, starting to loss track on this thread as so much is happening so sorry for not doing personals to everyone but hope everyone in the 2ww aren't driving themselves too and those ladies who are waiting for ER or ET Good luck and all those other ladies who are like me and just waiting for that next appt to move on to the next stage hope you are also not driving yourself too crazy also. xx

Sandy so nice of you to still check up on us even after you're still ttc...you're too kind and very strong

 

[cali_kt]

Sandy- Thanks for that chart! I was looking for something like that!

Mells- Oh no. I am so sorry. Wish you could take the day off. My heart breaks for you!

L4- How amazing!!! I hope and pray that one day soon I can have that moment too!! So happy your little one is doing great!!! Pics?

Babies- I'm sure everything is okay. DId you call your doc just to be sure. KUP!

Babies I too have been worried the past two weeks because of basically no symptoms and some cramping. BUT cramping is a normal first trimester symptom. I was just reassured of that today. Your uterus has more in it than its used to and it's stretching to make room. As long as its not severe and accompanied by red bleeding you are good to go my dear! I know the wait to ultrasound is pure torture! When are you scheduled?

 

[L4hope]

Cali your time is coming!! I would be happy to post a pic if I knew how. Every timeout try it doesn't work for me. No clue what I'm doing wrong. I don't find this site very user friendly sometimes.

I checked and no spotting, its reducing now though or maybe its all in my head. I dont have an obgyn yet because I left the horrible one I was using and was going to chose one out of the referrals from RE. I pray all is well..I'm freaking out.

BTW I didnt know beta results takes so long...swollen ankles is a good sign I know.

 

[cali_kt]

Lotus- Glad you arrived safely on the main land! Crossing everything for this beta to be sky high!!!!!

L4- Thanks! As for a pic, I dont know how to post it in a reply, so I put mine as my avatar! Try that!!

Babies- Glad things are slowing down now!!!

First Huge Congrats on your u/s!!!! so happy for you

Thanks for the info, makes me feel a whole lot better...the cramping started today and I'm having some back pain and my right thigh is also feeling a little heavy. My u/s is not till the 18th!! I dont know why my clinic will wait for that long...I'll be 7 weeks and 1 day by then. They didnt even let me do a 3rd beta which I think is kinda weird. Oh well...

 

[everhopeful]

First - wow that's amazing! Great feeling!!

Mells - so so sorry, take good care of yourself this weekend!

Ali - hope AF arrives soon!!

Lotus- when do you hear about next beta results?

Babies - I cramped a lot for about 10 weeks with my son and symptoms came and went throughout.

Xx

Thanks Babies! It very surreal at this point. It's been so long and I've had so much disappointment I can't believe I'm finally getting good news!

Your signs are good and normal so try to focus on that. And take it easy!! As far as the u/s and betas I guess every clinic is different. Mine does beta till you hit 1000 so I got three. One good thing with your ultrasound being 7w you will be able to see a bit more. Maybe that's why they wait so they have a better idea. Ten more days!

Thanks everyone. I can't leave early today bc we are having a meeting this afternoon about the gov't sequestration that you probably have heard about. I work for the DOD so it looks like my hours will be cut sooner rather than later.
I don't have any frosties and we aren't sure that we truly can spend the money for another cycle. We have paid completely out of pocket this time around.
After talking to my nurse, I still have to continue my PIO shots and estrace and retake my bloods on Monday...ugg! Nothing like dragging this out.

 

[LotusBlossom]

Hey Ladies! Got my beta results. The first one (Tues) was 186 and yesterday's # was 665!!!! Definite !!! They said if I want one I can come in anytime Mon or Tues for another beta. I'm going. The first ultrasound is in two weeks! I am so incredibly happy right now!

So sorry...this is too stressful and I hope you can get through this hurdle. You are strong and I wish I have the right words now but I hope things work out for you soon. Stay strong hun

Ever- Thanks for that info...surprisingly cramping is gone and I'm having in and out hot flushes in the inside. So weird

L4- You deserve to be happy and I'm so happy things finally worked out. I pray this will forever wonderful baby...I pray for a healthy 8+ month for you hun

Honestly after going through Ivf, now I know why my sister spoils her 2 children I probably will spoil mine rotten too


Yay LOTUS!!!!! awesome news

 

[Samsfan]

BabyD- I've discovered the hair issue through ivf. I guess I'm going to have to wax!
Mells- So sorry!!!! Keep the faith up!

AFM- They retrieved 10 eggs, 8 were viable and 4 made it to embryo status.

3 dt

Question. Can I dye my hair between ER and ET?
And can i do laser hair removal after ET?

Sams will that be a 3 or 5dt? xx

Samsfan- they say at my clinic hair dye is at your own risk- they don't think it has any connection- just dont do it if it's even a question i'd say. And laser hair removal is a big no- you do know that pregnancy increases hair growth as well as IVF process... i'd say get a good mach5 razor and go to town... Vanity goes out the window when we're trying to get pregnant.. I have highlights half down my head and I couldn't give a crap!

Yay lotus!! Right on track!!
