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

[alicatt]

Mossip, Great news that your ovaries were just playing a game of hide and seek. Good luck for next week

First, Great news on lining. I'm with anxiously jealous!!!!! Fx'd for next week

Sekky, how you doing on injections cycle buddy?

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well xx

Sorry, I don't mean to make anyone jealous, Sandy and Anxiously.

Ali: I'm glad your FET is finally coming. It will be great to get our BFPs around the same time Yes, if all is good, I will start PIO shots tomorrow, and continue the estrodiol shots too.

I hope everyone's bellies and bottoms aren't too sore from the shots!

So far so good.. just the daily lupron shot for me. I will start my PIO shots next weekend I think!

My big news is my IVIg is this afternoon Then hopefully a quiet weekend. I have no official plans other than to lay low, relax and try to get a few chores done around the house. Friends have asked me to go out and do stuff, but I just want to veg. We'll see, if I get house bound I might venture out!

Any of you ladies on estradiol patches? I have 4 on me, to be changed every 3 days. I've changed 3 times now but they've been giving me the itches of a lifetime! I'm scratching around them so much, I'm leaving some scratch marks. Could I be having an allergic reaction?

I'm using the vivelle dot patches. I started with 1, then put 2 on yesterday and increase up to 4 (changing every 3 days). I don't have that same reaction, they leave a bunch of adhesive on my belly which is annoying, but I don't have the itchies! I would call your FS and let them know. It might be too late to switch to shots or suppositories, but if you have to try again, they might switch you to another estrogen supplement. FX'd that you don't have to take them much longer!

 

[Anxiously]

Lol, I have to take it all the way till beta test, 17 long days more! Think I'll just bite the bullet, I'm already on the highest dosage of oral estrogen and I don't want to be carrying needles with me on my holiday

WOW really? I didn't realize I would be taking it that long My issue is finding room to place them. Once you are up to 4 patches and need to change its practically impossible to find room for them. I have a larger than normal belly due to the hormones for the past year, but still, it is difficult!

 

[Anxiously]

The nurse advised me to put one on each of my upper butt cheeks, and 2 on my tummy. Scratching those 2 areas on the butt while in the office is tough though

Ali: I hope it's no big deal this afternoon and you feel okay afterwards.

HEHE yes I can just imagine! I will ask the nurse when I go in next week what she recommends. I have had to use them before during my trial FET's but so far I haven't had to wear them past the biopsy day (which would align with transfer day). So I guess this time I will be wearing them for a while longer!

Thanks First. I really don't know what to expect. Maybe I should seek Dr. Google's advice?

 

[Sandy83]

good luck ali, hope all goes well xx

I must say I'm feeling like a nut bar right now! I keep reading about all these women (well not that many, but there are a few that have done IVIg). None of them have mentioned side effects! Maybe I'm just worrying for nothing? Maybe I'll be just fine?

Good Luck Ali!!! Remember what my wise friend said "don't borrow worry"...maybe you will be just fine!!!

 

[Edamame]

Ali- hopefully all will go well and you won't have any side effects!

Woke up with a bad headache this morning, my usual sign that AF is coming. Starting to lose hope again.

 

[MoBaby]

Edamame have you tested again? Headache is sign of bfp also

 

[Edamame]

I was thinking about it since DH is back from his trip today, but then when I woke with the headache I was too depressed. I just hate this!!

 

[MoBaby]

So I went for my beta this morning and the clinic just called...They told me I had a chemical pregnancy again How sad. So that makes 2 chemicals and 2 miscarriages. I did stop the meds before they told me and the re said it would not have made any difference because I was making enough progesterone on my own. So now I am even more sad than I was before. Another baby gone

WTF may 21st at 1230. New RE may 9th.

I was just going to say that MO! It is a sign of pregnancy too

So sorry Mo.. I hope that your new RE can shed some light on the issues! How did you know you had a chemical? Did you get a BFP on a HPT? I'm sorry if I have forgotten (my brain is a sieve right now). Otherwise I'm curious how they know you had a chemical vs. just a low HCG value?

 

[MoBaby]

I had BFP on FRER at 10dp5dt...It was sooo faint. I knew at that point it was over. I stopped my meds that day. It had been getting progressively lighter since 7dp5dt. At 9dp5dt I thought there was some hope so I decided to just continue the meds but when it was way lighter the next day (like nearly negative) I just knew. And all my pg symptoms went away (I previously had nausea, headaches, all the same sxs I had with my bfp). The next day at 11dp5dt I didn't take an FRER but I had the faintest faintest line on a IC cheapie. At 12dpt the cheapie was negative and today my beta was elevated but at a not viable level. The RE told me that the baby tried to implant and it failed early on.

AHH.. OK. I remember now. Sorry.. as I said, my brain is a sieve right now! Thanks for explaining. Mo my heart goes out to you. It is just so unfair I really hope that your new RE has some ideas on how to improve your situation, and that you can finally get your miracle baby

Keep us updated on your progress as I will be very interested to hear what they have to say. Have you got an appointment scheduled at your new RE's office?

AFM - just finished work for the day. The nurse will be here soon to administer the IVIg. It comes with a bag with instructions on what to do in an anaphylactic shock I hope we don't need to use it! EEK!

Otherwise, I have my first lining check on Monday with acupuncture. FX'd that it looks good

 

[MoBaby]

Yes, Its may 9th (6 days away!!) at 10am. He deals with recurrent pregnancy loss so thats hopeful. I know the answer; do an IVF cycle with PGD and transfer 2 normals. My RE told me that last cycle but it cost so much to do pgd I was hesistant. Well, not anymore! I cant afford to do a cycle with my current RE and since the new clinic has a multiple cycle program that would be cheaper I will do a full with them and my fet with my current re. So shall see.

Good luck today Ali!! Hope you wont need anything for anaphylaxis either!
