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

[LotusBlossom]

Ali- I'll look into the still pant when they come back. Thanks! I bought some astro wunder under crops when I was pregnant because they have a v-shaped front that can fold down, so I thought they might be perfect for a growing belly. I haven't had the chance to find out, but they are still comfy. I have a friend who wore lulu tops (mostly power y) to breast feed. I'm not sure if she just slipped the nursing pads in there or what, but it seemed convenient to me. I pretty much live in lulu these days because it is so comfortable and I am still working on fitting back into my other clothes. :-/ At least if I can't ttc right now, I feel like I can do something to help in the future by preparing my body again. Thanks for the study info, Sweetness! I wish they hadn't just studied simple carbs like bagels. I eat a lot of veggie and fruit carbs and not a lot of meat right now, so is that a bad idea?? I guess I can always ask the RE whenever I get there.

Lotus- I was going to ask. I saw you had a BFP by a FET. How did it end up ectopic I thought thy put the, directly into your uterus and has some glue like stuff that help it stick to the uterine wall??

Also ladies-------- last night I got woken up with mild maybe moderate cramping lasted 30 sec to 1 min. Then went away. Do u think thats a good thing?? I didn't have any other symptoms

I think it's a good sign; this would be about the time to feel "things going on" down there if you're really in-tuned to it.

Sandy: that's a lot of follies!!!

That's what I thought, too. Like it sticks like dust in jam. Not so much. Somehow, ectopics are common with IVF. It does not make sense to me at all. Dr said it could be because I had endo blocking that tube, maybe tissue was "poisoning" the area (idk) or if there was excess fluid in the uterus, it could be because I rested on my left side after transfer. Either way, it was totally growing, with a heartbeat, in my tube. It was actually rupturing, though I did not feel it, so I was sent to the hospital immediately from the US for surgery. I guess they could see the blood in the pelvic region which meant it was rupturing. They removed the tube, which was fine with me since it was blocked anyway. Hopefully I am less likely to have another ectopic now. Fingers crossed!

We have no idea when we'll try again. We have to pay off the loan from the last two attempts and then save around $30k to (assuming we are approved by the clinic) sign up for unlimited cycles. We applied for a grant and will get the results probably in mid-July. If we do get it, we only have a year to use it, and (of course) DH will be leaving next year for 6 mos, so I seriously hope we can work everything out in a decent timeline.

I'm so ready for this "transitional period" to be over. I just want to be in my own home with my honey and work toward our future. I feel like I am floating in limbo and have been since February. 3 more weeks until he is with me!

No worries.. I've had one of those mornings too. Just now at 1pm I have managed to get dug out. Now I need to wait until my co-workers are finished with the conf call before I can take lunch. I'm starving!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Lotus- oooooo I see that's strange. And I bet I'm excited for you to have more of a stable home. Can't wait til it's like that!!! A

Sandy- that's a lot of follies!

 

[FirstTry]

Lotus: I'm sorry you feel in limbo. You need your honey back! I hope you can find something you enjoy in Arizona (?) to lift your spirits until your move.

 

[ashknowsbest]

Woah, I missed a lot in the day that I didn't post....

Lotus - sorry you're feeling in limbo, your honey will be back soon and you guys can get on with your lives!

sandy - things are sound really good! Yay for ER on Wednesday!

sekky - how are you feeling?

ali - how are you feeling? Still in shock that you're pregnant?!

AFM - I got the call from the nurse that the 4 that we didn't transfer did well and some were able to freeze. Not sure how many yet, she said she won't know until tomorrow when the embryologist e-mails her with the final total. I'm feeling pretty good that some made it, even if it's only one because that means that the embryos inside of me might really have a fighting chance! FX'd! I didn't really do much bed rest yesterday, I did minimal activity but still did some things. Today I've been laying down all day taking it easy. We're having some wicked thunder storms and flash flood warnings so I'm happy being inside.

 

[Sweetness_87]

Ash-glad to hear you have frosties!!! That's exciting that means the one in your uterus now are doing great!

Does anyone know what I might be able to see at my first u/s? It will be 5w4d only, but my HCG should be around 24,000 by then.

 

[Sweetness_87]

2girls. I think if your beta is above 20,000 they can see something (I think) but I know at 6 weeks they can see a flickering for a heartbeat. How are you feeling any symptoms

thanks. I had a lot of symptoms last week...so far this week just sore abs; I think the muscles are stretching.

Yea prob so. My boobs just hurt on the sides that's it. Oh and had cramping that woke me up last night for bout 30 sec to a min then gone. I'm going guessing that's normal

At that ultrasound they will be looking for the yolk sac and gestational sac. There's a tiny possibility they could see the fetal pole but no guarantee. The heartbeat first becomes visible typically at 6weeks. Very exciting!

Hello everyone

 

[Em260]

Ash - yay for frosties!!

Ali - good luck with beta today!

Sandy - yay for ER!! You've got a ton of follies wow!

Sekky - how are you doing?

Mo - very interesting what the 3rd RE had to say. I hope the andrologist can offer new info and suggestions.

Lotus - retail therapy is the best! I'm glad you're finding your way around the new city. I always hated that part of moving to a new place.

AFM - I had tons of those pulling, burning, little cramping sensations all day yesterday. I'm also suffering from some major insomnia which I think is probably related to high estrogen because I had the exact same problem when I was stimming. When I do sleep I'm having the most vivid dreams! I know that's from the progesterone though because it started when I started PIO. I wish it was next Thursday already!

p.s. on the subject of lululemon when are they bringing back the define jacket? I'm obsessed and now they've stopped selling it

Ali! Gl today I'm sure you will get a great beta!!
