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

[MoBaby]

turkey i would be a little concerned honestly because your beta didnt even double over 4 days period of time. it shouldn't start slowing down just yet until its much higher. Did you see the yolk sac today? Should have seen that at 5w6d. Really keeping fx for you. maybe its vanishing twin syndrome to explain the numbers? I hate you are in beta battle! when do you go back? If your RE was happy then you should be too and not worry until RE says to

 

[ttcbaby117]

Turkey - wish I could help you with that one but I just don't know.

Ali - I hope you get your news earlier in the week rather than later.

ash - I know the boring stuff is soooooooo boring...LOL

AFM - I still have the cyst. I am so over it and frustrated!!!! The cyst is at 14mm....I am waiting to hear back from my RE to see what she wants me to do, which is probably to continue on the medication that I have been on for the past 14 days already!

 

[MoBaby]

ttc i am sorry maybe if your estrogen is low enough at this point you can start stims? is that smaller than last week?

 

[Edamame]

Turkey- I haven't gotten that far but hopefully it is all ok! Definitely call your doctor!

TTC- so sorry to hear the cyst is still there, can they change your meds or dosage?

Mo- congrats on being PUPO!

Sekky- welcome and good luck!

Mercy- hope everything turns out ok- as others have said spotting is very common. fx'd for you!

Ever- congrats on the doubled beta! Will they do another one or do you have to wait for the scan?

L4hope! How's your pregnancy going?

Ali- so glad you get to get started even though the results aren't back yet, hopefully they will be just right and you can continue!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Thanks everybody. I did the call the RE and I spoke to the nurse (I think) who sent me my results. She said it was on the low side, but that it was more important that we saw the yolk sac today, and that the number WAS rising. I'm definitely worried, but there's not much I can do until my next appt. which is a week from today. We should be able to see the heartbeat by then. The girl I spoke to didn't seem overly concerned, and my doc can't be too concerned if he doesn't want to see me til next week, right?

MoBaby...I don't know too much about "vanishing twin syndrome"...wouldn't the number go down if that was the case?

When I got the initial low beta of 37.5 a girlfriend told me not to "borrow worry". I'm going to try to take her advice...thanks again everybody.

 

[MoBaby]

The number would not necessarily go down but it may not double like it should or appear to not double like it should due to the 2nd embryo not producing HCG any longer. Then what usually happens the next set of betas are much higher and show normal doubling patterns. Just dont worry until the RE tells you to

 

[L4hope]

Turkey I'm sorry you are having concerning beta numbers. I would call my clinic and ask them about it. They should be upfront with you and let you know if there's cause for concern. It's good that the ultrasound went well.

Ttc that is so annoying your cyst hasn't gone away! Hopefully your doctor has a good plan to get this thing taken care of so you can start stims.

Ali, results this week..yay!! I'm sure it has felt like forever to get this point. Your fet is truly right around the corner now!!!

Edamame transfer this week for you! Are you getting excited? Thanks for asking about me. I'm just plugging along at this point, still very anxious at times wanting everything to be ok. Now that I'm officially at my OB the appointments are 4 weeks apart and no ultrasound until 20 weeks. At times it feels like torture! I think if you've gone through fertility treatment you should get monitored more closely and definitely more ultrasounds!! But nooo...apparently now I'm a "normal" pregnant person. Yeah right! But all in all everything seems to be going well and as it should.

 

[ttcbaby117]

Mo it is down about 2mm from about 4 days ago and a bit more than 1/2 its size from when we originally found it.

Yes, so excited, Friday still feels forever away! Work this week is insane too, not the best time when it is so hard for me to concentrate!

I agree- fertility treatment should get us extra ultrasounds to make up for the stress and frustration we went through before!

 

[mercyme]

Turkey, I hope that your scan turns up good news. Mo's explanation is really interesting -- and logical.

Edamame -- you're scheduled to do the FET on Friday?

Ttc -- I forgot about those annoying, hormone-interfering cysts! Hope it shrivels up fast & that the meds help.

L4hope -- congrats on getting all the way to that point, even if it is irritating. I remember going from being super-monitored & rather spoiled at my fertility clinic, to being just another OB patient. I felt pouty!

Allicat -- good luck with biopsy!

I'm just waiting for Wednesday. ....

Yes- we're transferring two again (that will leave two frosties left). I had an endometrial biopsy and have been doing acupuncture, hoping that those combined with PIO and delestrogen will help it work this time!

 

[Flowermal]

Hello ladies! Wow the thread moves so fast!

Ever: yay for your increasing beta!

Mo: congrats on being PUPO

Turkey: try nt to worry too much.. As the rest have said, if your RE is motto worried then maybe things are moving fine

Ttc: sorry that the cyst is still there.. Hope your RE has a plan for u

Sandy: yay that things are moving along!

Edamame: excited for u!

Sekky: warm welcome

Sorry if I've missed anyone out

 

[Em260]

ttc - ugh so sorry about the cyst. Maybe they will let you go ahead this cycle since it is so much smaller?

Turkey - I don't know much about betas but Mo's explanation makes sense. I think it's a good sign that your Dr. isn't worried. Fx for you!

Edamame - yay good luck on Fri!!

Ali - hope your biopsy results are in soon!

AFM - I have a consult set up with my RE today to discuss IVF#3 in June

 

[MoBaby]

Em your discussing ivf before finding out if the Iui worked? Hopefully you won't need it!!

TTC.. ditto about the cyst, although that is pretty small, I think I've seen other women move forward with a cycle with a cyst like that, but maybe it was an IUI? What about going in and removing it? Is that a possibility?

Turkey - yep I've heard of the vanishing twin.. I think you just need to wait it out. Stress it is not easy going through this. So FX'd everything is fine!

Edamame - not long now.. just a few more days!! WOHOO!

Em - you are having a consult about IVF #3 already? But aren't you in the 2WW? I'm hoping you don't need IVF #3!!

AFM - I feel like a broken record.. STILL waiting for biopsy results. It has been 2.5 weeks now, UGH. In a way it is probably good that they are delayed, as I'm having hardwood floors installed and I'm not sure I should be disappearing during that install. If I do get the call, I'll just have to tell the installers that they have to come in late that day I guess I don't want to delay any more than I have to for this next FET!!

 

[Em260]

Em your discussing ivf before finding out if the Iui worked? Hopefully you won't need it!!

Thanks! IUIs have such low odds of working, I think my RE quoted 10% per cycle, so not holding out much hope. I saw my RE during the monitoring for this cycle and started bombarding him with questions so he said let's set up a consult. I'm the type of person that needs a plan

 

[MoBaby]

This Tww is driving me crazy already lol! I'm going out shopping. I really should have gone into work tomorrow-Friday but re said no radiation and since I work in radiology dh took that as dont go to work but I'm going to go occupy a few hours.
Symptoms: none really. Headache last night/this am and my tummy is blah. Gagged more than usual brushing my teeth. Maybe it's all in my head

Ali: I hope the test come back by end of week! Can't believe how long you have had to wait!

 

[everhopeful]

Turkey - I'm sure that if your fs didn't have any concerns then you shouldn't either!! I've found quite a few websites that say we mustn't live by beta numbers. Many very healthy pregnancies have low betas. Once an ultrasound can be done they are far more reliable than betas!! Hang in there and try to relax for your LO!!

Mo - great signs!! Love the idea of hitting the shops. I go mad in the 2ww!!

Ali- hope you get results soon, be great if they are on before the end of the week! New floors sound fab! Just in time for a crawling little one!!

Em- 10% is 10%!! Hope it's you!! Still I understand wanting to have a plan. I'm a plan girl!

Hope everyone else is ok.

It's actually a beautiful day here in the uk - you don't get many of them so got to enjoy them when they come around! Xx

 

[ashknowsbest]

Ali - I hope the results come in ASAP so you know what's going on. Being in limbo is no fun!

Em - I'm a girl that needs a plan too. Nothing wrong with that! I do hope the IUI works for you though!

Mo - FX'd those little symptoms mean it worked!

AFM - I don't know if I told you girls but my OH got a great job offer in San Francisco so were most likely moving. Well I called my insurance company to see how that effects my IVF coverage and I pretty much don't get any there. So....I called my doctor's IVF coordinator lady to try and see if we can switch this to an IVF cycle instead of FET. She's supposed to call me back at some point today to discuss. What a pain!

ASH - that is understandable. I believe that the only reason IVF is covered right now for you is that you live in NY. The state mandates that you be giving infertility coverage, most of the other states don't have that mandate. So stay where you are until you are finished with TTC if possible. I know that makes moving to SF an issue. Or maybe the job is so great that it would cover the cost of IVF?

AFM - my FS got an email stating that we'd get the results this week. But unfortunately the lab was not any more specific!
