this is great info ....often people think they are out when getting earlier bfn's but you have proven that is not true!

so you had quite a bit of cramping all week?

 

[GreenFingers]

Right from the day of embryo transfer for about 4 or 5 days I had a lot of cramping, it was quite uncomfortable. I also had some bleeding last Monday which would have been 2 days post the 5 day transfer. After about day 5 it mostly stopped and now I just get the odd twinge, especially if I move too quickly. At least you know what can happen when you get your go! xx

Crystal and GF, I am so for you!!! And I hope you do stick around to cheer us on. I haven't been hanging here for long, I realize, but your happy stories certainly have a cheering effect over this way.

I wanted to give an update too, even though its anti-climatic in comparison. I just went for my CD12 US, and had a different doctor which was both wonderful and terrible. Well, I suppose terrible might be an exaggeration. So, I have one follicle ready to go at 20mm, there was another at 18, but the doc felt that the one at 20 needed to be triggered today or we might lose it, so we couldn't wait for the 2nd. He also updated me on a fibroid we found last year, which everyone so far has send wasn't a problem b/c it was far enough from the interior. Well, b/c its CD 12 this doc said it was the optimum time to see any effect, and there is a bulge in my lining b/c of the fibroid which isn't good. He said it would only be a problem if implantation occurred there, but of course with everything else feeling so stacked against older ladies, I'm feeling a bit

I mean, the good thing is that he was SO much more informative. He explained everything he saw and what it meant, etc. WONDERFUL and really helpful, because in the end, you want to know whats going on, right? But still, I wish the news didn't have to bring up more hurdles...

that would be a bit worrying, but lets keep our fingers crossed that it doesnt cause a problem. would you have it taken out if this cycle was not successful? I had a polyp removed as it was in the 'preferred place of implantation' and I had read that anything like that in the uterus acts like a natural IUD. But my clinic said many women get pregnant with polyps/fibroids.

But my clinic said many women get pregnant with polyps/fibroids.

well, he seemed to think that if implantation occurred there it could be an issue, because the blood supply is diminished, but that so long as implantation was elsewhere it would be ok. He said "thats the problem with fibroids because we can't control where implantation occurs."

I had a very large fibroid removed in 06, but it was on the exterior and on a stalk so it's removal was no prob for fertility--even so they said not to try after for 6 months, and at this point being told to wait that long seems like the same thing as saying "fugetaboudid". Plus i definitely would only have c-section as a delivery option after, where now I could labor. IDK. It does make me wonder if that was the reason for my MC last year, but my former FS didn't think it was a prob.

 

[sarahincanada]

so it looks like I have raised my $11,000 for IVF, but I still have to wait to see if my business cuts into any of it before now and when I start. lets hope not! plus obviously have to get the ok from them on CD3. just waiting for my period.....should be the end of next week

 

[dachsundmom]

 

[sarahincanada]

am I the only person doing IVF in November?? and where is everyone else in their cycles? so many people doing different treatments I get confused

 

[dachsundmom]

I'm not doing anything but sex in November, lol.

Waiting to OV or maybe I did, who knows anymore...cancer drugs for TTC, what was I thinking?

 

[hockey24]

Wow Sarah! Congrats! That's fabulous news!!!

Hope AF is timely and your CD3 gives you the Go Go Go sign!!
