[Em260]

Mo - I definitely feel that your take home baby is coming soon too! I'm so happy you are so close to being PUPO!

Every - yay good luck on Wednesday! Wow, that is so exciting! Best wishes for your transfer!

Ali - sorry about the setback but good thing you're getting everything sorted out before you transfer your embies. I always feel ovulation too. It's a very distinct sharp pain for me. Hope the blood work shows that you didn't ovulation though fx.

Hey em! good to hear from you! when is your next iui?

I'm just waiting on AF, due to arrive in the next day or two. It's been good to have a month off but I'm ready to get this show on the road

Thanks everyone! IVF and FET is not for the faint of heart!!
It is a roller coaster ride, with plenty of ups and downs. We'll see how the bloodwork goes tomorrow. I should know in about 12 hours.
If I did ovulate, which at this point I'm thinking I did, it will be another delay and I won't be doing the real FET until beginning of June.
Jusf one thing after another. I'm feeling a little better about it because we do need to get it right.

Mo.. interesting that you get hives too, the lupron really effects me. Between the hives and the migraines and the general discomfort. I hated taking it! Oh well, the one thing it did do was suppress ovulation so I guess I'll take it again!

Morning Ladies

Hope everyone had a good weekend!

Ali, sorry to hear you could have another set back but as others have said glad it's happening now and not on the transfer. Hope you get some good news today

Ever, Good luck for FET on Wednesday all exciting!

Em, Mo, Edamame, Turkey and the rest of you ladies hold you are holding up and good luck for wherever you are in your cycle

AFM, still on countdown 7 days to go! xx

Hey ladies been thinking of you all.

Ali sorry you might have another set back but you have the right attitude about it as frustrating as it might be. Lupron is evil! I always had to take it and it gave me the worst side effects of anything I took.

Ever good luck tomorrow!!

Turkey and others in tww hang in there! Hope to hear some bfps soon!!

BabyD hope you're doing ok

Question for you ladies!

AF after failed FET came on time last Sunday 24th March and seemed to die off by friday but today which is cycle day 10 getting cramps (TMI alert) but now bleeding again only lightly but fresh red blood is this normal? My AF normally only lasts 5 to 7 days????????????? should i be concerned? xx

Hi Sandy,

Sorry not had a FET yet so can't add any experience. Was it a natural FET or medicated?
Can you call your fs and speak to nurse just to double check? X

 

[MoBaby]

Sandy it could be your body adjusting back after all the estrogen/progesterone you took for the FET. The imbalance of hormones can cause you to spot a little. Hope its just a little and doesnt continue!

 

[alicatt]

Hey Sandy,

I can't say as I have ever had bleeding again around that time? I think you should call your FS. I'm sure it isn't anything to be alarmed about, but it is always nice to double check! Glad you only have a few more days before your WTF appt! I hope they have some answers for you!

 

[Sandy83]

It was medicated xx

 

[Sandy83]

Took your advice and rang the FS to put my mind at ease and they advised it is normal especially with a medicated FET cycle as they thicken your lining without having your body ovulated so is just a sign of my body getting back in control!

This whole process can send you xx

 

[everhopeful]

Sandy I'm glad they put your mind at rest! It's mad what we have to go through!! Does this mean that you will ovulate roughly 14 days from now? So I guess your AF will be late?
That happened to me after my last IVF cycle. Took 42 days!!!
Hope it doesn't last too long!

[Sandy83]

No apparently this should still be cycle day 10 its just my AF is lasting longer than normal but guess i will know for definite next week I'm getting the usual pains prior to ovulating so who knows! xx

 

[alicatt]

I think that is part of my problem, that the meds I took in my IVF are still causing my body to be all wonky, and possibly why I ovulated through the estrogen suppression? I guess we won't know for sure until I get the blood results, but as I said to a friend.. if it quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, its probably a duck! So if I felt the ovulation pains, and the FS saw a corpus luteum (the burst follicle) I'm pretty sure I ovulated.

So we start anew. UGH. It is nice to hear that there are others that found Lupron to have horrible side effects, I thought I was just being a wimp! Course then it means that you all suffered, and that is the part that is so unfair. My Mom has commented on more than one occasion that what we are doing is 'barbaric'! I'm not sure I would go that far, but when a 16 yr old can go out and have a fun time and become pregnant, and we go through months of sticking ourselves with needles, and the side effects, it is enough to drive you crazy!!!

I wonder when they will want me to start lupron? Does anyone have any advice on that? Will it be immediately? Or closer to when I get AF? I know I started it about a week before I had AF prior to my IVF, so I wonder if it will be the same for a FET?

 

[Sandy83]

Ali, when do you get your results what time? xx

 

[alicatt]

Ali, when do you get your results what time? xx

They usually have the bloodwork back around 2, so sometime between 2 and 3, which is 3-4 hours from now. Not much longer to wait!

 

[MoBaby]

Ali: You may have to do BCP then overlap with lupron kind of like in a full IVF cycle. That would be my best educated guess but I am not entirely 100% sure. Hopefully your results say otherwise and maybe it was just a cyst! But you are right, if it quacks like a duck, walks like a duck, then its probably a duck. Just hoping for you otherwise.

Yep.. I'm still hoping.. but I doubt it will be. I hope I don't have to do the whole BCP and Lupron! Course at this point I'd rather do the full on course than have to keep failing and adding more stuff on each time!
