Anyone else starting IVF October/November 2015?

[KatO79]

Here's a better picture..

I think I do see something although I have fairly bad line eye I'm hoping this is it Maybe try testing again tomorrow or the day after?

Hi all!

Rebecca - I see something on the second picture. Wishing you the best and hoping that it gets darker in the next couple of days so you can go to your official test date knowing you have a BFP.

Unlucky - so sorry to hear about your cycle postponement! How frustrating. Is there a reason this has happened?

Kat - sorry to hear about your friend. Sadly some people are just immature and are only friends with you when they want something.

AFM - just got back from acupuncture (we are going twice a week and loving it). Yesterday the scan went well. The lining is 5.2mm and the dr could see clearly 3 follicles growing on the right and 4 on the left. Hoping that some more pop up in the next few days. I have another scan on Sunday to check progression, tentatively expecting to have intralipids on Tuesday and trigger Tuesday night. Egg collection tentatively scheduled for Thursday 29th.

Rebecca- Yep I see it! I cant wait to see it tomorrow, I am sure it will be darker!!! Congrats!

Unlucky - sorry to hear you are being delayed hun. Did they say how thick is to thick? Were you doing a FET?

Psalm - That is a great report!!! You are trucking along. I am sure more will pop up. it seems that sometimes they hide and as the ovary becomes bigger you are able to see them much better.

AFM - started my estrogen today for my FET. next appt is on November 1st to see how my lining is growing!

 

[Unlucky41]

Thanks girls for the support.

Any lining greater than 17 mm is a concern according to my RE. So next month I will be going for a hysteroscopy to understand why my lining is so thick. If all is good as it is just a cysts etc then I get totransfer in December.
Worst scenario it is cells which may turn into cancer hence need three months of treatment.

I am going to try and focus on getting this new job as who knows when my transfer will be!

Rebecca I saw a line in the second photo how exciting!

Thanks Psalm Yeah she can be a bit selfish at times and concentrated on her and her problems. She also likes to compete in the sense that she has to have worse problems than me. I still remember New Year's about 3 months after DH and I started TTCing that I mentioned to her that i was a bit disappointed that I hadn't gotten pregnant yet. She then started using her "pathetic voice" and said "Well at least you have a husband and will have children, I'll never have a husband or children!" I honestly didn't know what to say so didn't say anything. I was so glad she was going somewhere else for New Year's than we were though. I've pretty much accepted the fact that this friendship is just going to be uneven and will just limit how much I see her. DH and I are starting to look for a house closer to his new job so hopefully we'll move farther away from her (we live about a 15 min. away from her) and won't be so convenient when this relationship she has now goes south. Because when it does, she'll go all clingy and pathetic and I can't stand going through more nights like last time where she would come over to our apartment 1-2 a week and cry and ask us 5-6 times each night if it's her making men reject her and "behave like this"

Oh so exciting, here's hoping a few more eggies pop up

Rebecca- Yep I see it! I cant wait to see it tomorrow, I am sure it will be darker!!! Congrats!

Good luck ttcbaby117 Here's hoping your lining looks great

AFM was at the dentist today because a 3 year old filling broke. A huge chunk actually. I was expecting her to tell me I could get a crown (since she'd mentioned I would need one long term) but it turns out that I have an infection at the very bottom of the roots (she did a root canal previously) and I will need surgery to get rid of it She wants me to first ask the hospital if it'd be a bother since I've started this IVF cycle. If I can't, she says I could wait a bit. If I can, I'll be operated on November 30th and then get a crown ½-1 year later.

Today's line was the same. Tomorrow is the blood test. I'm starting to get pessimistic. Was hoping for a darker line

Oh, and I just noticed that I am spotting. Can't be AF yet because I'm on progesterone.

Psalm- lovely report you are almost there!!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Kat - Wow so sorry to hear about your tooth, hopefully you can get it done and over with.

Rebecca - you could be having implantation bleeding. Some women will bleed through progesterone. I did not.

AFM - I am a raging lunatic on these meds. I don't remember being this crazy during IVF cycles.

Thanks Yeah I'll have to remember to ask the nurse at my next appointment if it'd be ok. I can't see why not but it's probably better to ask to be sure since my dentist wasn't sure if I could while I'm taking all these meds/hormones.

Awww that stinks I haven't been feeling too well on my Suprefact. Been having hot flashes and feel like I'm going into some form of mini menopause but the nurse did say I might experience that and it was normal Thankfully my symptoms should stop once I start stimming but I may experience mood swings on all those hormones, I know I had some on the Puregon I was taking for my IUIs and I'll be taking higher doses of FSH this time

 

[Psalm23v6]

Rebecca - any update? Been thinking of you. Could the spotting be from the progesterone? Hoping all is well.

Unlucky - so sorry that everything is now delayed. I hope that you can find some answers next month.

Kat - Hope your tooth gets sorted out soon! Definitely need to be careful and ask the nurse because you never know with the meds you are on. Sounds like you are getting some side effects from the drugs! It's crazy what we put ourselves through. Today I just feel so tired and I can only put that down to the meds.

TTC - glad things are moving for you - it's only a couple of weeks to transfer now! Sorry you are suffering under the meds as well. What are you on - Lupron? I hear that can have some wicked side effects.

AFM - still doing the injections and carrying on. Starting to get back ache and I can feel my left ovary so I am sure it is plumping up! Just hoping for a good scan on Sunday. Annoyingly my doctors office left a missed call on my phone yesterday morning and then didn't answer the phone 5 times when I called back. I left two voicemails and demanded a call back immediately. You just don't know what the issue is. Anyway, turned out all they wanted to do was change the time of my appointment for Sunday, but the panic had already set in! Ugh.

Hello there!

I know how you feel psalm, I hate when I miss calls from dr office because I know it will be impossible to get another call!

Soo- I went this morning for blood work and I was lucky because the nurse took my blood today instead of a phlebotomist so I got to ask the nurse my questions!
The spotting could be nothing, but if the blood comes back good then they will put me on progesterone in oil instead of the suppositories.
If it's positive today then I go back Monday and I cross my fingers that the number will double. Then ultra sound will be 1 week from Monday.
The nurse told me she will call me the second she sees the results! It's 8:37am here and I expect a call around 3:30 so it will be a tough day. I am working though so it's a good distraction. I'll make sure to keep my phone on me at all times...

 

[Psalm23v6]

Fingers crossed Rebecca! Hoping you get good news later

 

[rebecca822]

It's not looking good.

Line is too light

Wednesday's is first on left, Thursday in the middle and the one on the right is today (today is not fmu)

Another 4-5 hours until I get my blood result.

Beta is 56. I am pregnant!!!!

 

[Unlucky41]

Congrats Rebecca wishing you a stressed free pregnancy!

 

[TLK]

Congratulations Rebecca! What exciting news? When would they be able to tell if you are having twins?

I will be starting injections as soon as I get my period. I believe that should have next Tuesday or Wednesday. 2 weeks of injections then ER. I am so nervous. I have a history of 2 recent mc so even if I do manage to get pregnant then who knows if it will stick. I wonder what my doctor will recommend regarding how many embryos to transfer.

 

[Psalm23v6]

Great news Rebecca! What are the next steps? Do you have another blood test to check for doubling and then a scan or something else? So happy for you!

TLK - looks like things will start to move forward for you soon. I totally understand your nervousness, but if you have any questions fire away. This is my third IVF so I feel like I have been through most of it! Did your dr discuss with you before about maximum embryos? For your age, most clinics will do 2-3 depending on what you are comfortable with and how many embryos you get. We have always transferred two because that is all we have had left by the time our cycle is over. Wishing you all the best!

 

[KatO79]

Congrats Rebecca Here's hoping everyone else on this thread are so lucky to get a BFP first time

TLK: Will you be on progesterone after the transfer? I know I will be and that should help (although I don't know for how long after the 2WW if I do get a BFP). Maybe you can voice your concern to your RE. I'd also ask about the number of eggs he'll transfer. My own RE refuses to transfer more than 1 since she feels twin pregnancies are risky and a lesser quality embie can affect a better quality embie and you risk none implanting. Also I think I read somewhere that putting 1 extra embie up only increases your chances by around 5%. Try asking your RE although I'm surprised he hasn't discussed things with you. Sounds like he's someone you need to be on your toes with and have questions for each time. So thankful my RE and the nurses are so good at keeping us informed!

AFM nothing much to report. Next appointment is November 2nd so still a while to go I've given up trying to avoid the air bubble and just take 0.6 ml up and then push out the 0.1 ml extra which also expels the air bubble (that fills about 0.05 ml). I just don't need the irritation of trying to not get that air bubble up in the first place The Suprefact is making me moody and giving me hot flashes plus some occasional nausea Looking forward to start stimming.

Thanks! Started my estrogen and that seems to make me feel better. Actually when I was stimming I felt pretty good. I hope it will be the same for you.

Oh you poor thing. I always get that niggle in my tummy when the phone rings. I think it's a side effect of ltttc 😒

[rebecca822]

Thanks ladies! Super excited!!

I go back Monday for another beta. Hoping to see the numbers doubled.
Then I have my first scan the next Monday. If it's twins I'll find out then.


Kat- sounds like you've been having so much trouble with those air bubbles, how annoying!! Maybe they can give you something else instead? I didn't have much trouble with the Follistim.

Tlk- I also had a misscrriage so I'm super worried and nervous. I'm still spotting so the doctor gave me progesterone in oil instead of the suppository kind.
My doctor only recommended 1 embryo (I am 25 and healthy and no reason to think I would be a risk with twins) and the doctor really hesitated to transfer 2 but we insisted.
