February IVF Buddies!! 2nd Cycle. FET

[barbikins]

pisces, you can take Asprin. Just one BABY Asprin a day. Or the 'Low Dose Asprin'. I started taking it some time after my period ended. I forget when to be exact. It would be before ET to help with the lining. You can ask your RE when a good time to start. It's a fairly normal protocol.

eveclo- You must be getting so excited for your wedding!! That's too bad that your place doesn't offer package pricing! But you are still better off with your benefit assistance than I am with the package pricing. Mine would be 75$ per session but the package deal brings it down to 65$ (I think) which helps. I can totally relate to the disappointment of failure - with no known problems, it should've worked!! But, as you said, we have to keep on keepin' on! Did you google hysteroscopy? Basically it looks for problems with your uterus- polyps, scar tissue, etc.

Barbi- I really hope you get your poof! BFP soon!! When's your OTD again? Next week? Do you think you'll ever do the hysteroscopy? Can't believe her perforated your uterus!! I assume this won't affect things?!

pisces- Will the results of the karyotyping come back before your FET? That's so nice that your mom is around during the wait and you can chat about things with her. But all the extra time to google and research... I think I'd be going crazy!! Hope the time flies fast for you. Facebook definitely makes infertility more of a challenge because you are CONSTANTLY reminded of your friends cute lil babies. I've thought of canceling my account but haven't done it yet...

AFM- I have a surgery date!! Pre-op scheduled for 3/6, hysteroscopy on 3/12. It seems more intense than I had thought since I need a pre-op visit?! Oh well... just taking it one day at a time I guess. Last dose of provera tonight. I'm definitely not a fan of extra visits from the so I hope this is the last time I have 2 in 1 month!

HTW: The perforation I'm told doesn't affect anything. And no, I doubt we'll do it unless my RE suggests we need to.

Got my bfn today at 12dpo (9dp3dt) so I know I'm out. No guessing. I'm already planning our nest FET. Ugh.

You have a pre-op. Really? Wow I didnt realize it was that big a deal!

@pisces, I agree Facebook makes Infertility very difficult. There was a time I removed my FB. Then I reactivated it but blocked everyone pregnant or with babies. I am still having moments where I have to unsubscribe to certain friends because it's too stressful/painful. You don't realize what other people are going through & what that's like until you've walked in their shoes. It's like when you take a preggo test that's negative & 5 minutes later there is a very pregnant woman. There's a lot of things in this world to deliver IF woman pain unfortunately. And you can't hide from it.


@eveclo, I didn't realize you're getting married. How nice!!! When's the wedding?

Barbikins for your BFN today... I am really sad for you. I feel your pain and agree with you about this facebook thing. All my friends decided to get preggo starting last year and facebook is there tho rub on my face.
I just came back from my RE office and he was as frustrated as I am. He said my cycle went so well. Excellent quality embryos, perfect transfer, perfect lining... He almost apologized. I will do my next round in April. A few more blood work to do to see if there's any abnormal results on my immunity system. Good luck to you all!

 

[barbikins]

Isn't it just so frustrating, Miracle? That's the thing. Everything is text book perfect between DH & I yet I can't get pregnant. I just don't understand

 

[Hatethewait85]

Barbi- I know it seems unlikely, but I hope your BFP is just around the corner! If need be, will you do another FET right away? The pre-op totally shocked me... the worst part is how much it costs ($380!!).

 

[barbikins]

OH wow that's expensive. Where do you live? Are you in the USA?

I got my bfn today at 10dp3dt. It's over. So I'll take my last dose of drugs Saturday & move forward. We're strongly considering thawing two embies & transferring two.

 

[Hatethewait85]

Boo on your bfn this am barbi. I'm sad for you. Have you talked to your doc? I saw someone in another thread suggest growing enbies to blast... Can you do that? Then you'd know you're putting strong ones back in at least!

Yes I'm in the us. I have $1500 deductible and they say the $380 will count towards that so after the hysteroscopy I should meet it! So then any health care expenses the remainder of the year will be covered.

 

[pisces78]

Barbs: so sorry to hear about bfn! So, frustrating! I hope you get some answers from your fe. Has he given you a success rate for each transfer? Will you ask for any further testing at this stage? Would you consider another single FET or double FET?

HTW: The results take 2-4 weeks to get back, so as FE think it highly unlikely anything will be wrong (99% everything is fine) we will proceed with FET March cycle. What are you doing in the meantime waiting for your test?

 

[barbikins]

Hi girls, I haven't spoken to my RE yet.
I have my Beta on Monday so I have to get through that. Then start my period & go in for cycle monitoring. The day of cycle monitoring, I"ll meet with him.
I would like to discuss two embryo transfer for sure. And I'm given about a 40% odds on Frozen Cycle. Lower than the fresh.
I will ask about growing to a Blast. See if they do this or not. I got 3day embies becasue I didnt have many embryo & they believe they'd have a better chance of survival inside the uterus than in a dish. So I'm not sure he'd recommend that to me???

HTW: thats a big discount. Good for you! I hope everything goes well.
Let me know how it all works out for you! fingers crossed they see nothing amiss.

I really don't know what to think... It is so frustrating! Let's try to keep our hopes and wish for better days to come!

 

[barbikins]

Sounds good! I can't wait for AF to start now so I can come on with the next IVF!

We have 4 frozen embryos- 1 x 5 day, and 3 x 3 day. Our FS said she would be taking 1 x 3 day and defrost it to grow to 5 day. And then transfer. So hopefully they can do this for you! She said if that one doesn't survive the freeze they will just take out the 5 day one the morning of. so hopefully they can work something out that makes you feel comfortable!

 

[barbikins]

Well if they grow one of my 3 day, I have no 5 day to defrost on the spot. I may end up forfeiting that cycle. I do plan on transferring two out of three so hopefully one of those will stick!!!
Your plan sounds good. Is go with that too if I had any 5 day embies.

Ohhh of course! I didn't think of that duh. I really wanted to grow them all to 5 day! But they froze all the good ones on day 3 and left the crappy ones (I think there was 3 others) and then one just shot off and started to be awesome!

When is your beta? Xx

 

[barbikins]

sounds great if I had lots of embies to start with. i wish we had retrieved more.

my beta was this morning.
Im feeling extremely deflated & even though I know the answer, I just dont want to officially hear it.

 

[Hatethewait85]

Barbi- Did you get to talk to your doc today? Will you do the same protocol for your next FET? Fx March = BFP for all of us!

Eveclo- When does the monitoring start for you? It must be soonish? Do they just check e2 and LH levels?

 

[barbikins]

HTW yep got the official "your womb is empty" call - lol
I will go in for cycle monitoring once AF shows her ugly face & another transfer this month.
All we do is wait. So will your next attempt be in April?

Sorry for the results today Barbikins... I am trying to keep myself busy and out of the internet. I am quietly checking you all status and praying to every one of us, strugling with this poor results, to finally have good news! According to my plans, I will start stimulating on April 22. Big

 

[barbikins]

Thanks love! Oh April 22nd - seems like forever from now eh? But it's almost here.
I hope it happens for you!
