December IVFers

[melissaelaine]

Myshelsong - I made my husband go out and buy some pineapple!! I had read that before. I had also read about the cold feet thing. So, I will be careful about that too.

Thank you girls for the reassurance! We had our 7 week scan yesterday and saw a heart beat! So surreal! Baby is also measuring a day ahead too which is comforting to know �� the doctor actually thought she could see 'somthing else' in there too so I have to go back on Monday to rule out twins! WHAT? haha. I've been working constant nights so pretty shattered can't wait for the weekend

Melissa, how exciting! A hatching blast sounds amazing! Fingers crossed. Will you be testing before official?

My shell- ahhh Sunday is so soon so exciting. Hope you get a lovely relaxing weekend and it all goes smoothly. Do you know what type of embryo yall froze?

Dogmommy- hope you're doing ok, thinking of you

First baby- its hard not too obsess when you've wanted somthing for so long huh? �� hope you are doing ok and taking time for yourself to have fun and chill , how's work? Xxxx

Yey for a heartbeat!!!!! I had my 6 wk scan yest and saw a heartbeat too :0 I have another scan with OB on Sat and then a 8 wk scan on the 24th.

 

[Myshelsong]

Yay a heartbeat! That is wonderful. I hope you have a healthy happy nine months.

Wow Lucinda, that is so many scans good for you. It will be nice to see the little bub so many times. So excited for you.

I am not sure about the embryo, I know we had three all in different stages but of of pretty good quality and one was in the hatching stage so I am thinking that is the one they will thaw. If that doesn't work then they will try another ... hopefully the one will thaw correctly for us.
Still can't believe this is coming up so soon. I hope to join you ladies soo with a little baby on board!

Myshelsong cant wait to hear your update and melissa's update. I def did the warm feet thing; i kept wearing the green fuzzy socks from transfer!
As for the scans....the ob i chose does scans at every visit so i'll def be spoiled with scans. My scan Tues was not exciting and very impersonal as it was in the local hospital and the tech was so dry and more interested in telling me about my retoverted uterus. Im more looking forward to sat scan at my first ob apt

 

[Myshelsong]

I am excited to hear about your Saturday scan! I found the first couple scans were really formal, I don't think anyone talks or chats unless your actual doctor does them for you. Even the anatomy scan was really dry and they didn't talk much, but at least we got a disc of images which is nice.

Ill post bout it as soon as i get in on sat. Yes i guess its more personal when your with your dr....unfortunately my RE is in st louis and wont be doing any scans :/
Where are you in the process?

 

[Myshelsong]

Our FET is on this Sunday! So very soon.

 

[melissaelaine]

Myshelsong - that is so exciting!! How are you feeling?? Are you doing PIO?

Also meant to add that I tested this morning. It was a BFN, but I am only 3dp5dt, so not worried at all.

 

[treasured]

Thanks ladies it's definitely a relief to see heartbeat Im just willing away the days though I want the 12 week mark to hurry up!

How exciting my shel literally days away. Does that mean they thawed your embryo and it was fine? Woohoo!

Melissa still way early did you take a trigger this cycle? Im not sure how it varies for fets. If so atleast you know that's out your system! Fingers crossed for those double lines!

Lucinda that is great about all the scans im under a consultant as I'm high risk and hope they will give me extra scans too! Hope Saturday is much nicer and gives you a better feeling! My clinic is pretty impersonal too but they are still fertility doctors and probably just very technical! X

 

[Myshelsong]

They don't thaw the embryo until the morning of the transfer, so no idea if it is viable yet. I am praying that it is. We have three left, so they will thaw the best quality first and go from there.

I am not doing a progesterone injection, but the tablets of prometrium. Had them last time and they were pretty ok.

No triggers in a FET, or at least not for me. Just estrogen and progesterone!

Melissa. You are not out yet, this is super early! Have you had any pinching feeling or ligaments stretches yet? My first symptoms were crazy thirst and small twinges. I know you are symptom spotting already!!

Afm I am super crazy nervous for many reasons. That it won't take, that I will get pregnant and loss it again. For me now there is no "safe" time anymore in my head, I know the worse can happen even if the odds are super low. So balancing being happy, exited, terrified and grief stricken is going to be hard, so I am focusing on trying to remain positive and get pregnant first then deal with the emotions that come up after.

 

[Lucinda7981]

Treasured funny thing is that my fertility clinic is very personal and thats why i loooooove them....unfortunately it doesnt make sense for me to fly there just for my two scans that i need before im discharged. Im considered high risk too so ill be referred to a specialist....meaning i will have to see my obgyn and a specialist....which i dont mind.
Melissa def way too early...i started testing at 4dp5dpt i beleive and got my bfp at 5dp5dt or was it 6dp5dt(sorry its a blurr right now).
Myshelsong....yey.....Sun is around the corner!!!!!!! Are you planning to POAS?

 

[Myshelsong]

I will absolutely do it, but only a day before the beta to prepare myself. I can't bring myself to test super early, it will drive me nuts.

 

[Lucinda7981]

myshelsong when is beta/how many days post transfer does your clinic do beta

 

[Myshelsong]

I can't remember what it was last time and I forgot to ask at the appointment. When I get t the clinic they will give me a discharge paper with all the details.i am thinking 10dpt....?

So I am a basket case right now. I am so nervous, I can't believe it. Trying to remain calm is my life motto at the moment and it is not working hahaha.

How are you doing? Did you test again?

 

[melissaelaine]

treasured - hearing the heartbeat is so magical!! Keep sticking, baby! And I did not do a trigger for the FET. If I had, I probably would have waited to test until 6dp5dt to make sure it was out of my system completely.

AFM - I think I am getting the start of my BFP!! It was negative this morning on an FRER and an internet cheapie, but I walked by later and thought I saw a line on the cheapie. I tested with another cheapie this afternoon and it was definitely darker. I hope it keeps getting darker!!

The test on the top is the afternoon test.

 

[Myshelsong]

I think I see something!! Hope this is the positive you are looking for. Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

 

[Lucinda7981]

I see it....I see it...I see it....and not I think I see it!

 

[Lucinda7981]

Myshelsong tom is the big day!!!!!

 

[Myshelsong]

Myshelsong tom is the big day!!!!!

[dogmommy]

Sorry i haven't been on just needed some time away but I'm so excited for all the things going!!!

Melissa I see it!!! Dig deep eggy

Myshelong good luck tomorrow dear!!! Can't wait to hear how it goes. I'll be thinking of you.

Lucinda and treasured over the moon for you both! So happy you got to hear the little heartbeats
