Far off but is anyone planning IVF/FET Oct/Nov time or waiting to start treatment?

How do y'all attach pictures so easily? Can attach my scan from today! All is well with our baby girl at 12 weeks, 3 days

Oh Citts so beautiful. Was she dancing around in there? She looks so relaxed in that picture...is she blowing bubbles or is that her other arm?

Have you got an official due date now? In the UK the 12 week scan is the official dating scan.

Great scan picture!

I use photobucket to upload photos and videos. If I have an ultrasound printout picture, I take a picture of it with my phone and then use the photobucket app to upload it. I rarely get a chance to go on my computer, so my phone is my work horse. Lol

Great picture citts! She's looking great!

 

[citts733]

Thanks everyone! Yeah she was pretty relaxed...happy to be in her weird little spot! It's one of her arms.

Also I found out today from my OB that the latest recommendations are that IVF babies get induced at 39 weeks in order to ensure the placenta doesn't peter out. I had no idea...hoping she comes on her own right around then, as I was hoping to do as natural a birth as possible. Anyone else know about this?

 

[citts733]

Oh and totally forgot to respond to your other question goingforit! My official due date is still July 25th!

Beautiful citts!

I have heard of that before, it doesn't happen here though, I had dd at 42 weeks and that was from being induced otherwise she didn't want to budge haha

No! I've never heard this before. I hope this one comes a tad early...my son was born at 37.5 weeks and still weighed over 7lbs. Haha

One thing that's been worrying me...but not sure if you ladies have heard it before.

I keep reading that IVF babies have higher risks of having genetic or birth defects. And they're not sure if they'll have shortened lifespans with increased risks of obesity and diabetes.

Did any of your doctors talk about this? I never knew, until I started Googling! Now I'm paranoid.

 

[mara16jade]

So glad to hear everything is going well Kat!

I've never heard any of those concerns about ivf babies. Also my Dr never mentioned it either.

The reason they may induce is IVFER'S at 39 wks is bc we know or conception dates 100% which means there's no concern about due dates being off. Normal pregnancy due dates can vary so that's why some Dr's are more strict about inductive with them. And with any pregnancy the placenta ages as pregnancy progresses, older placenta's don't perfuse blood and oxygen as well which can harm baby.

Congrats! Glad all is going well!

No I've not heard this from anyone, including any of my doctors, before. I've found that too much information can be unhelpful. Unless something like that becomes mainstream, probably best to not give it too much credence.

Hi ladies

Sorry I've not posted since our failed FET in October, just felt like I needed some time away.

Sorry for your loss Star, but you're really very good at this IVF malarkey aren't you! Bets of luck for the next round, hoping it comes around quickly for you.

Lots of pregnancies on here which is amazing ... Congratulations xxxx

AFM, we had a consultation in November after the failed Medicated FET, where we asked again about a natural FET... I begged in fact, I knew that the drugs weren't right for me. I bled before OTD both times. I repeated to the Dr that I had carried my LG full term & managed to get pregnant naturally (albeit lost it at 11 weeks) so thought that the natural FET was ideal for me.
The Dr was concerned about my erratic cycles and whether I was ovulating. So booked me in for another ovulation test and told me if my cycles were under 35 days, positive opk & my ovulation test was over 30... She'd be happy if I had natural FET for our last embryo!
Everything was perfect, so on 7th January I had our 5C/A blasto transferred without any drugs... Our very last IVF. We got our ten gruelling days later.
We're over the moon, suffering with terrible worry for the 7 week scan, which without doubt will continue throughout the whole pregnancy if we can get there. We never thought it would work, with the worst graded embryo & failures before... Miracles do happen.

Best of luck everyone xxxx

Janey I'm so happy for you!

Thank you for your support, I hope I can be good at for my next cycle Haha, I've got af now so I can start on my next cycle

When is your 7 week scan? I'm.so excited for you, I'm glad you pushed for a natural cycle, mama knows best!

 

[JaneyM]

Thanks Star.... we're totally shocked still. The scan is 8th February, dragging more than the 2ww!!
Don't know how I'm going to get through it, going to do a test on Saturday to calm my nerves.

Oh Wow, so hopefully not long until you can start, hoping your cycle behaves for you. Is it another FET? X my fingers are crossed for you xxx

 

[star25]

Thank you Janey

Yes it's another fet, they've said I can have a scan to check lining on day 35 and if thick enough for a bleed start provera to induce af so I'm.not waiting forever for it!
