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

[MoBaby]

Edamame I'm sooo sorry. That's exactly what my test started doing.. I thought it was just the booster working out but dr said it was a chemical... I hope it's just dilute urine and tomorrows beta shows differently.

 

[alicatt]

Edamame.. I'm with Mo.. in the early days dilution has a lot to do with how dark the line is. As long as its there you are still in the game. Hopefully it will get darker tomorrow!

Ali - glad to hear that you are doing ok.....I hope all look good on Monday. Im also really happy the weather cleared up enough for me to get here this morning...LOL...We had some terrible storms last night Im sure you got them first!

We had some really bad ones on Thursday, all day long. So you are in FL now? Do you see the FS on Monday as well? My first lining check and second acupuncture is on Monday.

I'm mostly feeling well. Still very tired and have had a headache all day. I have had a headache since I started the Lupron so I don't think it is caused by the IVIg. The IVIg was pretty boring actually. Simply 4.5 hour of sitting down and just waiting for the stuff to pump into me The nurse was really nice, we chatted and just hung out.

I really can't wait until the 17th! Only 13 days

Yep I am here now...I go in on Tuesday to see how i am progressing after 3 day of stims. Glad you are tolerating the IVIg.

Started PIO tonight. I had to stick 3 times because I hit a nerve. And now my backside is aching. I just wanted to whine about that. Oh, and DH wants to BD tonight

On no...sorry hun! Whine away

Ttc - so glad you are cleared to go go go!! Exciting!!

Lotus - sounds like a brilliant plan!! It's good to take time off and give your body a break! I'm going to be doing the same thing... Just waiting to see what Wednesday brings!

Ali- got a scan on Wednesday. If nothing has changed then I stop all meds and either book in a d&c or wait to miscarry naturally.

Sekky - not long to go now! Can't wait to hear lots of BFP's!!

Xx

I so hope that there is some progress...praying for you hun!

Edamame.. thinking positive thoughts

Ever.. when is your next US?

Turkey.. how are you feeling? when is your next US?

TTCbaby.. yay! for starting

Everyone else

AFM.. no serious side effects, mild reflux, mild headache and fatigue. I spent the day in bed just relaxing and I think it's done me a world of good! Monday I go in for my lining check, hopefully it's growing nicely!

Hey Ali...I'm feeling great. I'm exhausted & starving ALL the time. I have been 99.9% PMA all week and basically I'm just having faith that everything is going to be ok. Next u/s is Tuesday morning. I'll be 8 weeks exactly. Praying that heartbeat is where it should be and that we see growth from last week. No spotting, minimal cramping, typical symptoms and major PMA all week. Hoping and praying for the best. Thanks for asking.

How are you feeling?? Seems like the IVIg wasn't as bad as you anticipated! You must be SUPER excited!!!!

That is awesome news and great symptoms!

Ever-hope it all turns out wonderfully on Wednesday and the worry was for nothing!

Turkey- hope you also have a wonderful scan this week!

Good luck to all of you ladies with your shots and cyles!

AFM- The FRER line was about half as dark as yesterday's, so it is not looking good. Trying not to be angry at the universe, I know there are so many of us having trouble. But just frustrated.

I do pray it works out hun and this IS your BFP!!!


AFM - Due to not having my correct needles last night I ended up taking my first IVF meds, gonal f and menapur at 10 pm instead of 9pm. Now my question is, should I continue to take it at 10 pm or move back to 9pm tonight?

 

[Edamame]

If 9pm is the time you'd rather regularly take it, I think you can move it back. One hour once isn't that big of a difference.

 

[MoBaby]

I'd move back to 9. My clinic was very specific about the times to take them.

 

[alicatt]

I think you have a plus/minus 1 hour for stim shots, they do like you to take them at the same time each day if possible. The trigger shot has to be spot on at the exact time they tell you, so don't delay that one!

I set alarms on my cell to remind me especially since I was doing them 2x a day once in the AM and once in the mid-afternoon (while at work).

FX'd that you stim well!! GL on Tuesday

 

[WannabeeMum]

Ever and Turkey - good luck with your scans. I'm sending positive vibes your way.

Edamame - hoping that line gets darker for you!

TTC - I was taking my meds at 10 pm (as I was simply told to take then at a time that worked for me) and when my clinic found out I was taking them so late they asked me to start taking them at 6. It had something to do with not getting accurate results in the early morning testing because I was taking them so late. So I'm sure an hour is fine, I'd just double check.

Good luck to everyone else in the 2ww and those starting their cycles!!

TTC- that is true, mine asked me to take them between 4-5pm so they would have the most effect on morning tests. Basically they wanted me to take them shortly after my 2-3 pm call with the results. As we got the results they would adjust my meds, tailoring things to get the best eggs. So yes, check with the FS office to make sure 9-10pm is OK!

Ali, how are you feeling today?

Edamame, sorry I hope things turn around for you.

 

[alicatt]

Ali, how are you feeling today?

Edamame, sorry I hope things turn around for you.

I've pretty much spent the weekend in bed headache and now nausea. I hope it goes away soon!

 

[alicatt]

Has anyone heard of temporal arteritis as a side effect of Lupron?
I googled my symptoms and that is what fits.

 

[Flowermal]

Edamame, really hope the lines get darker for u

Ali, I experienced headaches with Lupron but the nurse did mention that some possible side effects also include aches, nausea and at times possible dizziness.. Depends on the individual.. Are these part of temporal arthritis?

Yes, I think so! It's gotten worse the past week.
I think I'm supposed to keep on it until Friday. UGH

 

[MoBaby]

Temporal arteritis usually affects much older population. I doubt that's what you have alicat. Would be rare. Are you having jaw pain? Blindness? Double vision? Those are hallmark signs associated with it. If you think You have that then you need treatment right away. But I'm almost 100% certain you don't have that.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Anxiously - I think it's GREAT that you're being so zen about this cycle! I felt that same way during my second cycle and I'm feeling the same way about this upcoming cycle too! Enjoy your vacation!

edamame - I wouldn't worry about the line getting lighter yet, try not to worry until you have to I know it's easier said than done but I'm keeping the hope alive for you!

lotus - Good to hear from you! It's a good thing to take some time out and get your body back to normal. Yoga sounds awesome! I've been meaning to get back into it but just been really busy with work, school, and of course TTC stuff.

Ali - I'm happy to hear your procedure went well! FX'd your lining is looking good tomorrow! I'll be at the doctors tomorrow too! Best of luck! I'm sorry you're starting to not feel well, that's no good! All of these meds can really mess with us!

first - hitting the sciatic nerve would be awful, be careful!

turkey - I hope your scan on Tuesday goes well!

ever - thinking of you and hoping for the best!

mells - I think taking it day by day is the best thing you can do

AFM - a couple days ago i was worried that because I hadn't gotten my period since the period after my failed IVF cycle ... well I got my period today. It's so awful. I'm assuming that's because I haven't had a period in about 40 something days since I've been on BCPs for 3 weeks. I'm sitting on the couch with a heating pad, I took a tylenol so I'm waiting for that to kick in. I go in tomorrow for b/w u/s. Can't wait to see what they say, hopefully it's that I can get started on my meds! I can't wait to get to ER and see how my egg quality is! One more thing, thanks girls for letting me know about taking my meds earlier in the day. I used to take mine around 9PM every night but now that I learned from you girls that it's better to do it earlier to get a more accurate b/w I will be doing that for sure!

Yep, you are right, except I read it is a side effect of Lupron. It's my temples, I can feel the artery throbbing there, along with my temples feeling tender, like they are bruised. Very odd. I'm seeing my FS in the morning, will talk to him about it all.

How ya feelin' Ali? Any better??

 

[alicatt]

Yes! Turkey, my head is much better today. It is still tender but not too bad.
Looking forward to my lining check and acupuncture at lunch time today

 

[MoBaby]

Ash sorry your period is bad! My AF is on day 5 now and the first 2 days were terrible! IDK if its because of the chemical or the fact I have not had a "good" period in several months. I feel you GL with your ultrasound today!

I cant wait for my appt on Thursday. I have made a decision I think. Regardless of anything, I am doing a full IVF cycle. We only have 2 frosties left and I want to save them for now. I plan to do the cycle with the new clinic, depending on what they say because I can do a multi cycle program and they are way more affordable than my clinic. If for some reason they are jerks or I do not like them, I will just do a full cycle with my current RE and do PGD with hopes we get several to biopsy. So thats my plan. I guess it will be July or August before anything looking at time lines. I have to start from scratch with new RE. And old RE wont do anything until July anyways.

 

[alicatt]

Mo - sounds like a great plan! When you are talking to the new RE pepper them with questions about RPL. Since you've had a few. See what tests they offer and how they might proceed. Good luck!
