February IVF Buddies!! 2nd Cycle. FET

[Hatethewait85]

barbi- Most people do get their BFP by now, but a few people are a bit delayed. I'm forever the optimist (at least for everyone but me ) so I'll keep my fingers crossed tight that a line starts showing up on your tests tomorrow!! Perhaps it will be the BEST birthday present of all time!

pisces- No meds sounds good, lucky lady!! Only a few days until ET. Got any plans before you are officially PUPO? I love your embies name. If embie = she, would you name her Emma Rose once she's born? We refer to our embie as Larry or Lonely Larry, but if he actually is a he, I will not be naming him Larry!

 

[barbikins]

thanks but the verdict is in with a ....BFN!!!!
so onto next round

good luck to all who are still in the running!

Barbs: so, sorry hon, , hope you get some answers from your FE about why this has happened asap and there is something new he can try in the protocol for your snowbaby. This journey is so tough...

HTW: Just taking it easy before ET, DH has a meeting tomorrow he can't get out of so I will be going solo to ET, but at least I have gone through the process before and I know what to expect and last time I didn't have my FE as was on a conference so at least this time fx he should be there. 11:15am is my appointment time, not long now. No, if it's a girl I wont name her emma rose, still can't decide on a girls name, though have purchased lots of baby book names, I don't know if this is too presumptuous!

Eveclo: How are you going?

 

[eveclo]

Hello ladies!

So... I got my period yesterday! Right on time. Haha. I haven't spoken to my RE, because this morning is my blood test. I'm guessing she will call me later to say she's sorry & it's a negative but I already know... Again! Haha. Oh well.


Barbi- so sorry to hear about your negative. & yes- onto the next round! Are you doing another FET? I'm waiting to talk to my dr but I think I will be doing a transfer of two, but then again I'm not sure how lucky we are going to be with that... and then a fresh cycle after that as we will only have one embryo left.

Htw & Picses, transfer day is coming soon! Are you getting excited? Hope it all runs smoothly for you both good to hear about your lining HTW as well, what a relief!

My husband went and saw my naturopath for some herbs that can help with sperm. It's a 3 month thing but we want to see how he goes on them. They taste horrible and every time he has to take them/ drink some of the liquid he feels ill but all in the name of babies! Hehe

Eve, good luck to you! I've heard great things for sperm the natural medicine way. I'd consider a traditional Chinese medicine doctor. And it's not that expensive.

Well ladies, I used a mixture of water and blood on a test when I got home and got an instant bfp. I freaked out thinking it was false and dipped a FRER. Positive. Then my third and last pink dye cheapie and BFP!
I've tried this method in the past but all were bfns. And I've read a lot of posts online of woman getting a positive reading this way as well. So now fingers are crossed hard!!!!!
Im so nervous.

Found you barb. I was looking for this in our other thread...lol

Definitely positives....if you did only one test in would be more hesitant bit three very different tests is a great positive!!!

 

[barbikins]

I'm mega nervous about it being viable. Ak!!!

 

[pisces78]

Barbs: OMG!!!!! That's is bloody fantastic! 3 x BFPs, sounds good to me! I'm so excited and nervous all at once for you! Are you 12dpo now? We need some + on this thread!!! Could be the best birthday present ever!! I will keep my fx and tx, might just go to show snow babies can be late implantors after all? Are you feeling any symptoms at all? When is OTD?

 

[pisces78]

Hi Eveclo!

We tried chinese herbs 2 x daily and weekly acupuncture for my DH's sperm issues for 3 months. Poor thing hated his horrible herbs as well and made him feel nauseous! At the end of the 3 months we retested his SA and all his sperm parameters improved except morphology unfortunately so went straight to IVF, will keep my fx for your DH, I think it is a good to give it a go, it can't hurt!

I'm confused - your last post said the verdict was in so I assumed you had a blood test!!!! This is amazing! Soooo happy for you! When is your actual blood test?

Have you had any bleeding or spotting?

Yayayayaya!

It's definitely worth a try! Our naturopath is a Chinese specialist too he's been doing it for 30 years he's great! Expensive but good.

Barbi- OMG! That's great!!! I've never heard of doing that before. So interesting. Have you POAS, too? When's your beta? Fx this is a sticky one!!!

pisces- Bummer your hubby can't make it!! But that is good your doc will be there this time I always feel reassured when I get to see MY doc, not her partner (who is her hubby!) I just like that she knows ME. Good luck!!! Sending sticky vibes your way! I don't think it's presumptuous to buy baby name books. You will get your bundle of joy (and sooner rather than later I hope) so it's good to be prepared

eveclo- Gosh your AF sure means business! She won't even go into hiding for the progesterone! Will you get to try again right away? Your poor hubby.. but yes! Anything for the sake of a baby!! Is there anything he can add to the drink to mask the taste?

AFM- Nothing new to report. Just chugging along taking my meds hoping my lining is thickening up nicely. 3 more sleeps until I get the (good?) news!

Hehe yep! Can't keep away ! At least she didn't make me wait for bad news! Nothing seems to help, he basically has to shot it but will do anything since he watched me with needles for weeks (2x) and then surgery! He will be fine

Yay excited for you! So 3 days will be transfer day or just another lining check?

I'm waiting for my doctors call to see what our next step can be!

 

[Hatethewait85]

eveclo- Good point about your hubby. If that's the worst part he has to go through than it's not so bad. Glad he's being a good spirit about it! Hope your doc will let you transfer two this next time! Let us know what he has to say. 3 days for me will be just another lining check!

 

[Deepsea]

Hi ladies, I've been stalking this thread since my failed IVF in February and I'm in limbo waiting for my FET. But when I saw Barb's post with a BFP I had to add my CONGRATS!!!!! Its about time! FX this is a sticky bean for you!

Ok! Got a very apologetic and sympathetic call from our FS, she's such a sweetheart. Basically, she said it's just a game of luck and we can try straight away if we want to / financially and emotionally are able to. I said "Yep! Let's do it!" so i'm just waiting for O again. I'm CD2, and she's wanting a blood test on CD13, although i don't ovulate until between CD16-CD20. (Such a pain!). So, we'll see how this cycle goes.

I asked about having 2 embryos transferred, and she said that since we have had 2 transfers without success that we are now eligible (the clinic that she works under doesn't allow it) to do it. So she said, "No problem, of course we can transfer 2 if you want to go down that path, I think it's probably the best course of action"

She still maintains we will get pregnant, it's just a matter of perfect embryos and perfect timing. It's got to happen soon though, right?! I'm in my early twenties (And depending on different peoples opinion- yes, maybe we are too young to be 'worrying' about falling pregnant etc) but i should be in the prime of my fertile life! Just so frustrating and i don't understand it at all. In the beginning of this journey, when we found out we had MFI, we thought it could just be solved by his Sperm finally being able to meet my egg and BOOM! baby. Not so much. You ladies all know how i feel! It's more frustrating than anything.

End of rant and i apologise !!! hehe.

Still so excited to hear more news from @Barbi!!! It gives me hope that my embies can still be good even when they are from the same batch! Yay :happy dance: so well deserved

 

[goldfishy]

Oh congrats barbi! How many days post transfer did you get bfp? Hmmm wonder if you're having twins!

Eveclo - sorry this time didn't work but your fs right - it's a case of finding the perfect embryo. I read somewhere that only 1 in 4 embryos is chromosomally normal. You've had 2 shots now and if you transfer 2 for your next fet, one is likely to stick if not both. Keep faith.

Htw - fingers crossed for you! Hope lining stays strong.

 

[barbikins]

OK girls, I totally regret posting that photo & jumping to conclusions. My tests today re NEGATIVE.
I had a bad feeling but was ever so hopeful. That's all we can be.
So, I'm probably going to be lurking but not much talking for a while.
I need to step back from all this crazy TTC and not be so absorbed in it for a while.
I wish everyone so much luck xo

 

[pisces78]

Barbs , please don't regret the post any of us would have done the same. Those tests can break your heart. Look after yourself Barbs, wishing you and DH peace on whatever the next step of your journey turns out to be.

 

[eveclo]

Sorry to hear Barbi onto the next cycle!

Picses - I hope your ET goes well !!! Thinking of you!

HTW hope your good too miss !
