Entering the world of Assisted Conception...like it or not...

[Smille24]

I hope it works out for you. It sounds like you have a sweet dr and he's really pulling for you. I'm glad you fit it in your lunch break!

I didn't get my progesterone tested, they just put me on suppositories. ..they suck. I think bc my progesterone was low last cycle.

I'm feeling hopeful but I feel like I'm setting myself up for HUGE disappointment.

Hey Smille! What was your day 21 progesterone? I seem to recall mine being 8.5. Not sure if that's high or low...

Try to stay positive, and so will I. I feel we will both eventually get our bfp but it might just take a while. I'm trying to remind myself that there are still lots of options, and not everything will work the first time. Try to remember that 10% success rate, and maybe that will help you with keeping your expectations realistic? You gotta ignore that stupid nurse and follow and trust your doctor. It will happen!!

Mine was 1.4 last cycle, but I didn't ovulate until cd24. I tried to explain that to the cpn but she didn't want to hear it. I discussed it with the dr and he agreed she was wrong and it should've been done later. My cycles are longer not 28 days smh.

10% is not high at all so that gives me no hope lol. I just don't know how much longer I can go down this road while our medical bills keep piling up and nothing to show for it.

I've been trying to keep up with where everyone is at. This thread movies quickly.
I went in for another blood test at day 17 and they said it's ovulation time. I was a bit what the?' That's so late when we were trying I always thought it was day 14/15 even with temping. Oh well. So transfer is set for Thursday!!

Sometimes ovulation is delayed for some. Good luck to you!!!

Good luck Miranda! ! I hope it goes well for you. I imagine the drugs do change ovulation dates somewhat. Didn't seem to for me but I wouldn't worry.

It sounds like the nurses at your place SUCK!! Hang in there. Most things worth it take lots of work, patience and money. how are you doing? What day past ovulation are you?

It's just the 1 nurse who sucks. I love everyone else there and the hospital is great. I'm hanging in there. I'm 11dpiui and I'm feeling off, but I'm not getting excited.

How are you doing?

 

[miranda007]

Smile.. I know how u feel. I know it's hard and long - someone once posted on here trying to conceive long term is like running a marathon (that's really hard) but you don't know when it will end. Hang in there..

We went and visited two sets of my husband's friends who have just had their second baby. The first was fine (I been still hard but fine).. they know we're doing IVF and she's been really nice. The second friend he used to work with.. goes.. So when are you guys going to have a baby? You guys are getting left behind!! You better catch up.. I really felt like crying and inside I'm thinking fuck you - you have no idea what we've gone through you shouldn't say comments like that. I just said well it's been a long road. And she goes yeah it took us a few months before we got pregnant it's really hard blah blah.. ARGH!!

When will you test?

 

[Smille24]

I tested this morning and got a bfp. I'm in shock and idk how to feel. I'm 14 days past the trigger shot so I'm still leary. It should be out of my system. I'm not feeling well again this morning and my temp shot up.

Wow what a slap in the face, especially when they know about ivf. People are so insensitive and act as if everyone gets pregnant so easily.

I hope you get a bfp soon! I am sorry your friend is a jerk. Mine use to say "well you should be thankful you have 1 child" or "there's always adoption". I tore her a new one and she changed her tune.

That is so exciting! I first tested at 11dpiui and got a bfp. I wasn't supposed to test until 14. I remember 11 was a Thursday, and I didn't want to wait until the weekend, tested again at 12 (Friday) and called them and they let me come in for bloodwork that day, and told me there was no way the trigger would still be in my system, and obviously, considering I'm 11 weeks pregnant now, it wasn't.

That really gives me peace. Thank you so much. I'm terrified, but it should definitely be out of my system. I've been queasy the last 2 days so I think it's real. They want me to do the blood test Wed if af doesn't come. Should I call them tomorrow and tell them, or wait?

You know, honestly, if it was me, I would be pushing for tomorrow. It's never bothered me if the clinics felt I was being demanding. Insurance didn't pay for anything. It was all us, so since WE were paying THEM, I didn't care. It would making me nuts to have to wait until Wednesday.

You're the one having to sit there and fret for days. Not them.

 

[Smille24]

I'm going to test in the morning and call them and see if I can get bloodwork done tomorrow or Tues.

 

[miranda007]

oh Smile I must have missed your latest post when I replied! Wow this is sounding pretty good. I've got my fingers crossed for u! Agree with what MMW said.. I'd get a blood test earlier.

 

[Smille24]

I called them and am waiting for a call back. It was still positive this morning, so I definitely think it's real. Plus, my stomach has been a mess for 3 days.

It's darker than yesterday's and the nurse said if I'm getting positive tests now, then my blood will be too. I'm going later in the morning but won't hear anything until tomorrow. I know this is real, but my dh isn't going to be excited until my dr tells me yes.
