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

[Turkey16]

So I heard from the coordinator. Aetna did approve the switch in cycles. We're going forward with the IVF, the prep month for the FET was the same as IVF so we're good to go. I have to call on CD 1 of my lupron period and then CD 3 blood work u/s and then we start with the stims. I'm happy to be doing this instead so that I can save my

I asked her about transferring embryos and she said that NY has some pretty strict laws on it so what's going to happen is that I'll have to come back for the transfers when we use the 's. It's not so bad. At least I can bank as many frosties as I can now that way when we're ready to try and have another baby or keep trying for number one it's $1500 instead of like $15,000. Plus my mom still lives in the area so when I come for the transfer I can just stay with her.

Interesting, I hadn't even considered legal issues! I was just thinking about keeping them I'm glad you got everything worked out! YAY for starting an IVF cycle

AFM - called the FS office, in the hopes that they had heard something. Not yet! It is frustrating as I have a bunch of obligations next week and some of them require me to work at home, and if I'm starting then I need to know what days I have to be in the office for monitoring! So I can't schedule ANYTHING until I know what is going on. Maybe tomorrow?

I REALLY hope you hear GREAT news, and that you hear it tomorrow FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!! All the waiting will seriously drive a person bananas!!!

sorry if i've missed anyone out

AFM, no news just plodding along nicely with my injections hopefully time will fly and have scan on 15th May and hopefully start menopur injections on 16th May xx

 

[Mells54]

TTC, I hope things look good with your cyst.

Ash, sounds like a plan. I think San Fran is beautiful, but being a NYer I had a hard time adjusting to life in Cali. Good luck! Moving is never easy!

Ali, waiting sucks.

Wanna, already in trimester 2...woohoo!

Mercy, good luck tomorrow!

AFM, our donor had her initial appt today and here antral follicle count was "very, very good." She does have and IUD that needs to be removed, then once her AF shows we both get calendars. Looks like June! I'm getting excited.

Mells!! This is very exciting! I didn't realize that you had chosen a definite donor! I still giggle every now & then about your "glamour shot" commentary. What an interesting and exciting adventure. Is your DH going to be out of the country in June?? I feel like you said he might be away while you're doing all this....still think it'll make an amazing story for the future babe/babes!

Turkey, yes we picked a donor from the last bunch we received. She just seemed like the "right" one. She already has a son too so we know she is fertile. Her pictures were more natural and not posed. And, on thing that sealed the deal is that my DH couldn't get over how much she and I looked alike as children. She had a school picture from when she was about 7-8 years old and he thought we could be sisters. She also has a Masters degree in the same major as he does. Seems like she could be part of our family.
And yes DH is leaving this weekend. Not sure when he will be back but probably not until after summer is over. It will be an interesting adventure to say the least!
We won't have dates until her AF shows, so still nothing definite yet...

 

[alicatt]

Mells - that is really exciting! Having been through a similar decision, I know what you mean when you say you just knew. I felt the same way about my final donor. He shone above everyone else. I bet it will be nice to get the calendar and start moving forward

 

[Em260]

Mercy - good luck today!!

Mells - so exciting you're starting soon and great news about the donor's AFC too!

 

[Sandy83]

Wow Mells she sounds like the perfect match for you xx

 

[alicatt]

Mercy - I hope you get some good news today!

 

[Lucie73821]

Good luck today Mercy! I hope everyone else is doing well.

My appointment this morning went well. Everything looks "quiet", which I guess is what they are looking for. They drew my blood and depending on what my estrogen levels come back as, I'm either starting the estrogen pills tonight or tomorrow. Also tomorrow we are reducing the lupron dose to half of what it is now. I go back next Wednesday for another blood draw and us to see how things are progressing.

Great news! I'm still in waiting mode I swear this is worse than the 2WW!

 

[Edamame]

Lucie, that all sounds great! On the home stretch!

 

[mercyme]

Lucie, sounds familiar. Such a long process....

Was told that my insurance wouldn't cover the fast lab(?!), so unless I wanted to pay $274, I'd have to wait until tomorrow for results. Total crap. I've paid quite enough, so I'm waiting. Again. I'm so exhausted (can't sleep well since transfer, last night only 4 hrs broken sleep), the news made me cry. So, nothing til tomorrow.

 

[mercyme]

Mells, your description of your donor was so sweet. Sounds perfect for you!

 

[Edamame]

Argh, so sorry to hear that! Can't believe it is that expensive! How's the spotting? I hope you hear back early tomorrow!

 

[alicatt]

mercy -really? WOW that is expensive. My FS always uses a 'fast lab' called Unilab I believe here in Boca Raton, FL. They charge me $55 per test, but it is wrapped into the bundle that I pay for the entire process. It includes the first BETA test, but additional ones are charged to me at $55.

I really hope the results are good!

 

[L4hope]

That's just ridiculous Mercy!! Sorry you have to wait another tortuous day. I guess I was lucky with my clinic. They did their own processing right at the clinic. And god love them with my betas after my initial bfp, they got back to me within a couple hours knowing that I was on pins and needles. I think they wanted to know too after seeing me through this long process! Hope you hear early tomorrow!

 

[mercyme]

Thanks everyone! You're cheering me up. I had a meltdown when the tech told me that. Later I thought, Hang on, I paid a flat fee &
Didn't use my insurance, so she might be wrong. By then of course it was too late, but maybe I can get the results earlier in the day, rather than afternoon.
Will definitely keep you all posted. I've been such a mess.

 

[Mells54]

Oh Mercy, I'm sorry. The waiting really stinks! Good luck!

 

[Sandy83]

Mercy so sorry you are having to wait, fx'd it's worth the wait xx
