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

[~Brandy~]

2girls - congrats!

Mo - I think that nurse must be confused. I can't imagine them using general anesthesia for a hysteroscopy. I bet it's conscious sedation.

Turkey - yay!! So glad you can get started right away

Ali - I missed your post about IVIG. I'm glad it wasn't too bad this time and hopefully the side effects stay away!

Mine uses general.. so I will be sleeping all day friday

Morning Ladies

Sorry I've been quiet over the last couple of days but have been trying to keep up with everyone's posts.

BabyD, Good luck for today

2girls, yay on scan pic

Em, Looks like your progressing nicely with your beta's less than a week for u/s

Turkey, Glad you can get started straight away

Mo, Fx'd for 10th not long now hope you have been able to talk about using a general and are happy with how things are going to proceed

Ali, Glad IVIg went well sorry if you have already posted this answer but what do you have next another beta or u/s etc?

Sweetness, Great beta's try to relax

Sekky, I've just realised we have the same OTD How come you are having to wait longer than 14dpo?

Brandy, Good luck for Friday

L4, Can't believe you are nearly 20 weeks how you doing?

First, yay for strong HB

Mells, Not long for you now

Hope the rest of you ladies are doing well

AFM, Just plodding on in my 2ww. Back at work today after some R&R Monday and Tuesday. Well I look like I'm 5 months pregnant and none of my clothes fit. On a positive the clinic are happy with my E2 levels so are quite happy that I'm only going to have slight OHSS as before which is managable. On countdown already to OTD 7 days to go! xx

Anxiously waiting the call!!!

 

[Sandy83]

[BabyD225]

[MoBaby]

Babyd: good luck!

Hi sandy! Hope tww isn't torture yet!

 

[Sandy83]

Thanks Mo, Works out to be more of a 9 day wait so hopefully won't be too bad. Feeling quite positive with this cycle as totally different from the last one xx

 

[BabyD225]

Good Morning! Hope everybody is feeling great!!

Spoke to the nurse at my RE this morning and it looks like I'm switching to an "estrogen-priming" protocol?!?! Anybody familiar with this? The meds mentioned were estrace (both oral & vaginal) ganirelux, menopur, gonal-f and PIO. We're still having our "WTF" meeting next week, but it looks like there won't be many answers as to why I miscarried, because there was no fetal tissue to test after D&E...oh well...thought I wanted answers for sure, but maybe not knowing is for the best.

Anybody have any info on this "estrogen-priming" protocol?

Turkey I did that for mine.. basically its like birth control pills or estrogen pills for an extended period of time, mine was a month but I've seen two weeks as well... then the gonal f and menopur start. The PIO i'm not sure when you start but i'm guessing during the menopur and gonal start...I was on crinone for my cycle. The ganilrelix is to slow down ovulation so that all the follicles can catch up, so when yours are around 14mm or so they'll tell you to start that, usually a few days before retrieval.... that's how mine was structured, I stimmed on menopur and gonal f for about 9 days, but all total until retrieval from birth control on was about 2 months.

Nice second ultrasound 2girls!

BabyD my beta was 455 at 11dp5dt. I have the other two betas in my sig as well. Can't wait to hear your news!

Sandy glad you're feeling ok but I'm sure it still has to be uncomfortable dealing with mild ohss. Hope your wait goes by quickly for you. Really hoping this is going to be it for you and see your beautiful bfp in 9 days!!

Thanks for asking. I'm feeling great and trying to soak in and enjoy being pregnant. I agree it's hard to believe I'm almost at the halfway mark. Very surreal! I haven't had an ultrasound in two and a half months so I'm very anxious for my anatomy scan next Monday!

I'm just loving all the progress we're seeing on this thread! Can't wait to see more bfps roll in....Sandy, Turkey, Mo, Sekky, Lotus, and EOE!

 

[Sweetness_87]

Turkey- that's what protocol I did. Don't really know much about it though.

Baby- GL!!!!! Mine was 10dp6dt 506. You will have a solid number!

Sandyy- ughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I hated being sooooo bloated. And that's good you feel positive! That always helps things I think

2girls- did you actually throw up or dry heaved?? I know wired question lol

 

[LotusBlossom]

Turkey- I think that is the protocol I did as well.

Well, neither, but only by pure will. I was in the shower and I had a spell, which consisted of: tunnel vision, racing heart, tingling hands and feet, and being dizzy. Tried to eat crackers but my mouth was so dry I had to spit them out. I sat down and had crackers and water, which helped. As for things coming OUT of me, let's just say...the other end took care of it! Sorry if TMI, but at least I don't have constipation issues! I emailed my nurse about taking extra B6 because I read this can help.

I'm taking Estrace (since the transfer) and will take it throughout 1st trimester. I took Menopur, Gonal-F (which by the way Bravelle is a MUCH cheaper substitute for this), Ganirelex, and Ovidrel. I felt good on these meds, but of course I was a poor responder so maybe that's why!

 

[Turkey16]

Oh my goodness!! I'm so glad you guys are familiar with it!! WOOOT...plenty of brains to pick! The nurse this morning gave me the basic gist, and it seems interesting for sure. My husband was a lil reluctant about starting up again so soon, but it seems like the shots won't start for a month or so the way she described it...he liked that! Yay!!! Everybody's happy!

BabyD...thanks for all this info. Sounds much like what the nurse was telling me this morning, but more understandable from you!! She said they'll do baseline blood on day 3 then set me up for a hysteroscopy (b/c I had been pregnant). Then they'll monitor me to see when I ovulate. I think at that point i'd start the oral estrace. Then after my period I'd start the stimming (and I guess the ganilrelix instead of the Lupron to suppress??) then they'll monitor and it'll be go-time. With a couple of other drugs peppered in I'm sure, but that's how I understood it to be. Nurse said end of July for ER and ET...works for me!! I'll get the specifics from doc next week, but nurse said he's recommending ICSI right off the bat and assisted hatching if we only get to Day3. She also told me we'd transfer 2, which is odd cuz we did 3 this last time. Ahhh...who knows? It's all speculation at this point. Can't wait to hear it all from him next week! Thanks again for your reply!!
