Anyone doing FET/IVF Jan/Feb 2016

[Elz]

What a horrible thing to do! Hope you're OK Kat x
Almost - I'm sure everything is fine with your bean. I've lost all symptoms but trying to remain positive! Really considering buying a doppler though! Which one have you got Ash? X

 

[ashknowsbest]

I have one called womb music. I got it from Amazon. It won't tell you the heart rate but you can count it yourself and its reasonably priced.

Now I want to look at dopplers!

oh Kat79 I'm in tears reading this - how horrible!! I'm a massive animal lover too. This is beyond terrible. It's not good enough. Well she did marry your narcisstic brother so two likes attract. I always feel for you your family situation (on your side) constantly is annoying and hurtful. You're right putting distance between you guys.

Almost - my sisters placenta is at the back at she isn't feeling any kicking at 20 weeks. I think it's really normal for symptoms to take a lull and then go back up again. My boobs never really got sore - go figure! They did with the IVF drugs though! My nipples get cold more easily. Weird! But I always got that.. But only if it was super cold.. Now I only have to go to the supermarket in the cold section and have to go to the loo and warm them under the dryer as they sting.

I think it's normal for symptoms to die down now.

As for me.. When we went to get the NTL blood test there was a girl who came in at the same time as us with her partner she seems frazzled. Anyway, we left at the same time in the lift and I wanted to say to my husband good we got to see it - but I didn't because I looked over at her and she looked like she was about to break in two.. It was so heart breaking I cried for her as I saw them walk away..

Really hoping we get good news.. Probably hear on Friday.. And the structural scan at April 6th. Then we'll tell people. We haven't officially told our families yet - except my mum knows on the quiet.
Husband wanted to wait until we had good news to share.

Best of luck with your results miranda sad about the other couple they must have seen something not good on their scan thanks for the reassurance I just want to see my little one I'll find out next appt when my scan is that's what I keep telling myself haha its prob like a month away oh the pain of waiting!

 

[miranda007]

Ph yes the pain of waiting.. But it's not as worse as the FET transfer wait is it?!! It's still painful though. I just want to know so I can relax a little bit. If that's possible.

Nope not my brother's enabler wife, my Danish DH's older brother's horrible, selfish ex-wife.

It shouldn't surprise me though when she could give the cat an abortion (which is almost worse than euthanising a healthy, young cat as she's killing lives that never had a chance to be) She's also been horrible about the divorce, even getting into heated confrontations with my BIL in front of the children, screaming her head off at him whenever she doesn't like something he's said or done. She's definitely toxic, I never got why my BIL married that snobbish, selfish, nasty woman but I first came into the family after they were married and she was shortly after pregnant with their first child, the son.

I lit a candle for the cat and her kittens last night. I just don't know how I'm going to talk to the ex-wife for the son's birthday in May, I can barely stand to look at her and I'll have to both see her and say hello. Ugh, I almost wish DH's brother hadn't told us and we'd gotten the same story as the kids that the cat ran away and didn't come back, at least I could've imagined for myself that someone found her and took her in It's been making me give my own kitty extra love. I'm probably the only one mourning the cat's passing as I doubt very much the kids care very much since they never seemed very interested in their cat - taking after their toxic mother I guess? My child will definitely grow up to love animals, I can't imagine anything else.

Wow this thread has gone quiet

Going in for my nuchal scan tomorrow afternoon Feeling nervous but hoping we end up in the "low risk" category and that baby generally looks good. If we get good news, we'll be announcing the pregnancy to DH's brothers and cousin on Saturday when they come to paint our new house. I think we'll end up calling DH's grandmother before Saturday to let her know since we won't be seeing her until the end of this month.

How's everyone else?

 

[almosthere]

Kat how exciting about your scan for tomorrow best of luck. I'm about 3 weeks until my next scan I'm guessing I have a intake appt this friday with my obgyn first time seeing them this pregnnacy as I was released from my specialist a couple weeks ago I'm assuming I'll schedule a 12 or 13 weeks scan I can't wait!

Miranda looks like your scan is tomorrow good luck!

Hi ladies, I took a small break from the internets for a few weeks. Was told I had to wait another month for my FET so was a little disappointed but my body just wasn't ready. My transfer is actually scheduled for tomorrow so I am feeling quite nervous. I thought I'd hop back on to see how everyone is doing.

Froggy I'm sorry that this wasn't your month and fingers crossed for you this month.

And a huge congrats to everyone else. It seems as though this is now a full blown pregnancy thread so nice to see! Maybe it's good luck.

Question: Did any of you do a transfer without trigger? I am wondering how long until I can POAS if my transfer is tomorrow? I don't want to do it too early, but also don't think I can wait very long ya know...

I've never done an FET so don't know about that. I would think without a trigger it'd be almost like a natural cycle so maybe try testing 10-14 days after ET?

 

[almosthere]

Jules I had a natural FET just baby asprin and crinone so it's the same as a natural pregnancy you can test whenever in the tww that's reasonable of course not too too early and a line is a line since u don't test out trigger!

 

[almosthere]

Gl with transfer jules!

 

[Elz]

I was thinking the same that this thread had gone quiet! Lol
GL for your transfer Jules!
I've got my scan tomorrow too, I can't believe it's actually come round this quickly!
GL to everyone else having scans/appointments soon! X

 

[almosthere]

I actually have to go in for a vaginal check tomorrow as I've been having yellow discharge which I thought was normal but then today called obgyn because I had a orange peach color very worried tomorrow can't get hear fast enough

 

[Julesxo]

Thanks so much ladies! Transfer complete!! It was so weird to see the embryo! DH took a pic. Just looks like a fuzzy cell lol.

I have about 10 close girlfriends who are all newly pregnant, And they gave me all their unused pregnancy tests as they know our timeline. So I am stocked. Now if I can just wait at least a week to test I'll be so proud of myself. Also my beta test is scheduled for 9 days from now...which seems early?!...

Good luck at your appt tomorrow almost, I'm sure everything is fine. Fingers crossed for you. And for you at your scan Elz.

I will keep you all posted! Xx

So the scan went well. Saw the heart beat again and baby was really lively in there We even saw at one point the baby giving a "thumbs up" but unfortunately she didn't get a pic She measured the nuchal to be 1.60 mm but said she didn't get my blood results from our idiotic, incompetent GP so they had to send me for bloods which I have now done. She'll call or write me a letter with the ratio but said she's guessing I'll most likely be "low risk" based on that measurement

BTW she says I'm measuring 13w3d and has bumped my EDD to October 9th.

We got 4 pics but these 3 are the best ones

 

[Julesxo]

Kat those scans are AMAZING! so incredible. congrats!

 

[Elz]
