[Razcox]

Thanks for the welcome back all, forgot how supportive everyone is on here. Much love to the B & B ladies - you are the best x

Wannabe - Great news about the embies, 9 out of 9 is wonderful. Will be sending growing thoughts to them.

Just back from my scan and booked in for ec Monday - Eeeekkk! counted during the scan and there are 15 foliclies but 2 are under 10 and 8 looked good so fingers crossed a couple more catch up over the weekend and we have a few mature eggies for the next stage.

@Razcox, Good luck, I hope you have lots of nice healthy eggs. The number of follicles you have sounds great so far!!! thumbup:


AFM,So lastnight DH & me went to a casino buffet for Thanksgiving dinner. The food was okay, they had a decent variety. Turkey, ham, chicken, mashed potatoes, fried red potatoes, stuffing, etc along with deserts, pies, cakes and ice cream. It was a quiet Thanksgiving and relaxing. We have my sister's house to ourslves because her, her husband and their 2 kids all went to my brothers for the big family thanksgiving and we just decided to take it easy with us going through all of the IVF stuff.

So yesterday I started my meds for after the egg retrival, I am on a baby aspirin, progesterone cream vaginal inserts, estraidol pill inserted vaginally, and an injectible drug called Lovenox for 10 days, which burns like hell when you inject it, it feels like a bee sting. Ugghhh.. I thought I was done with the injectible drugs, but nope, i am not, I got prescribed it because my estrogen was so high and there is a risk of blood clots, so this is a blood thinner. I also am having a hard time getting the estraidol pill inserts far enough up my Hoo haaaa.. the dam things are a pain to get up in there and they are so tiny that they get lost in the vagina.

Well I called my clinic because I had a couple of questions about my embryos. I am scheduled for a 5 day transfer for monday, but I wanted to know if my embryos didn't look that geat on day 3 which would be saturday if they would contact me and tell me to come in to do a day 3 transfer. The nurse I spoke to said yes, they will check them on day 3 and give me a call if they need to go in sooner than day 5, so I was happy to hear that. Then she also mentioned that they won't freeze any embryos unless they make it to day 5 or day 6 blast. So now I am worrying wondering how many of our 9 embryos will be able to survive this entire process. Eeeekkk... It seems like there is always something to stress out about in this process one way or the other.

wannabe - yes you are right there will always be something to stress about...once we get the bfp it will be worrying about miscarriage...once we get to full term it will be the delivery....once we have the baby it will be making sure they are healthy and beign raised properly....I guess it is all a worrying game from start to finish...we just have to trust that all will work out. Right now you are looking good....I am keeping my fingers crossed that it stays that way

Raz - Woohoo for Monday....i cant wait to hear about it!

Sugar - sorry you are still waiting...

 

[sugarpi24]

[wannabeprego]

@TTC, Thanks for the good luck wishes!!

@Sugar, I am sorry that AF is on it's way!!

[Dazed]

Wannabe - I'm so thrilled everything went well with your ER and fertilization. This is it chicka!

 

[ttcbaby117]

Dazed - how is everything with you.....

 

[Dazed]

I'm feeling ok and I am hoping everything is ok. I have a doc appt on the 11th at which point I hope they give me a scan and tell me everything is ok. I had some spotting Tuesday and Wednesday and I'm still having some brown discharge. Only once was it enough to reach a pad. Having gone though spotting that didn't end well, its got me all wrapped up! I think I'm going to need a straight jacket soon. I haven't touched the computer since Wednesday and it has seemed to do me alot of good. I just have to take everything one day at a time.

 

[Sticky Beans]

Hope everything does turn out ok. When I was preg & had some spotting & cramps I went a & e - had to wait ages but they done a blood test & booked me in the next day for a scan. It might be worth a visit just to put your mind at rest. Rather than going crazy waiting for your appointment.

Afm I caved & poas! Bfn! I'm CD26 so could be too early but feel like af is on its way..... again.

Hope everyone is doing ok.

xx

 

[sugarpi24]

Last day of progesterone...hoping af shows soon!!!

 

[Ella_Hopeful]

I thought AF was due on Saturday as I had spotting Saturday two weeks ago... Saturday and SUnday I had the worst cramps ever. They seem to be calmer now, weird for before AF. I tested BFN on Friday so it's not that

I wonder what's up now! Always a new drama!

 

[Tarotempres]

Ickle - I hope your trip was nice and AF behaved and you were able to have a nice time.

Wanna - good luck today keep us posted

Ash - hopefully you have a good thanksgiving and are feeling better

Raz - good luck with your IVF I hope everything goes well.

 

[Tarotempres]

Ella - I hope you figure out what is going on and you can get your HSG if you need it.

TTC - How are you doing? With the Holiday I was so crazy I didn't get on the computer at all to say hi.

Lucy - How are you feeling honey?

 

[ttcbaby117]

dazed - Oh I do hope it is just the normal spotting from pregnancy...would they see you sooner if you ask or maybe do a HCG test to see what is going on? It might help you to feel a bit better.

Wanna - I hope all is going well with your transfer today!

Ash - thinking of you hun!

sorry for all the bfns out there! Lets all just hope to get our Xmas BFPs!

afm - I ovulated early! You can see in my chart....I NEVER ovulate this early...but luckily we DTD on Saturday night. I took my bra off on Saturday night and felt tingling in my nips so I knew something was up. I dunno if I missed it though as we probably should have dont it on Friday. Either way I am not even putting to much hope into this cycle anyway. We will be doing another IUI on my next cycle so I will concentrate on getting healthy and gearing up for that IUI.

Hello Ladies,
I hope you all enjoyed your Thanksgiving. How is everyone? Sorry I have been MIA. I have been spending a lot of time with my husband. Also one of my husband's guys that is under him at work and his wife have been giving us baby stuff this weekend. I have boys, girls, and neutral clothes 0-6 mos. also have a bassinet, well part of it she will be given me the rest of it soon. She also gave me some bedding stuff. She has twins one of each gender and 3 older kids a boy and 2 girls, so 5 kids total. She is given me the stuff because she knows I will take care of it.

Thanks tarot. We had a lovely time away but AF isn't playing ball. I've just had spotting that's tailed off to nothing. I called the clinic today for advice since they said I should expect a period 7-10 days after my day 21 bloods and its now 11 days. They said to wait 4-5 more days and if no AF by then, then test and let them know what the result is.

 

[ttcbaby117]

how frustrating ickle! have you tested lately?

 

[Dazed]

dazed - Oh I do hope it is just the normal spotting from pregnancy...would they see you sooner if you ask or maybe do a HCG test to see what is going on? It might help you to feel a bit better.

I am truely hopeing that it is just normal spotting. I'm feeling better today, but that could all change in an instant.
I have debated trying to get and appt, but the truth is I know they won't do anything it it could be a week before they squeeze me in and by that time I'll only have another week before my scheduled appt. Unless things get worse, I am going to try to stick this out and will demand a scan at my 8wk appt if I'm not already getting one.
