February IVF Buddies!! 2nd Cycle. FET

[Hatethewait85]

CJ- That's great!! CONGRATS!! I hope this is your sticky lil bean. Do you really have to wait over a week for OTD?! That just seems ridiculous. Did you have any promising symptoms? I'm way too chicken to test...

eveclo- Hoooray for O!! That's much earlier than last time isn't it? You're transferring 2 this time, right? Will you grow them to blasts again? OOOH so exciting!!!

Barbi- How was your appointment this morning? Are your eggies doing well?

pisces- Have you tested yet???? I'm keeping everything crossed tightly for good news from you!!!

AFM- I'm 5dp6dt today and still afraid to test. I don't have any at home to even tempt me so that is good. I will probably test Sunday (beta is on Mon). I have my nephews 3rd birthday party on Saturday afternoon and I will have a hard time going if I test before that and it's a bfn. I actually don't feel much of anything. I thought I was maybe a little nauseated yesterday but really nothing significant. My bbs aren't even that sore and I thought for sure the PIO would do that. If anything I feel a bit crampy like AF is coming so who knows. Last time AF didn't come until 2 days after stopping the progesterone. At this point I can't change the outcome so I am still preferring the whole ignorance is bliss route.

Yay I know! Hopefully it is actually o and not a fake positive! We'll see. Last month i got my first positive opk at CD 18 and continued onto day 19 so it was quite late. grateful that it has hurried up alittle this time, maybe its the acupuncture doing something good ?

Hopefully they will call me today but if they don't call by 3 I will give them a ring to make sure all is good and well. Yes, we have 2 x 3day (8 cell and 10 cell i believe) left and 1 x blast. So we will be defrosting the 2 x 3 day embryos and growing them to day 5. Last time, by day 5 they were only morula, so hopefully they make it to blast this time. We'll see!

Cramps are good sign ! Don't worry just yet. I hope you get a big positive result on your blood test day! So excited for you.

It's def a bfp! I try to remain hopeful as my last 2 x it went down hill after the first beta. As for signs not many, tmi but loose stools for 2 days and just blah and not wanting to eat much, and cramps but idk if it's cramps from my uterus or tummy. Crossing my fingers for you htw!!!!

 

[Cjohnson13]

How are you ladies doing?

 

[Hatethewait85]

eveclo - What were lab results like? Do we have an ET date yet?? It will be here soooo soon. Fx your embies thaw perfectly and grow into perfect looking blasts.

CJ- I'm so glad to hear you didn't have many symptoms either. Did you call your clinic and let them know you tested early or will you just wait until your beta next week? That seems so far away!

AFM- 6dp6dt and still holding off on testing. I feel really good about waiting. I sincerely thought I'd be itching to test but it's much less stressful to just sit and wait it out... weirdly enough! 3 more days until I POAS!

 

[Allie2009]

Good luck everyone! We will be transferring on the 17!!!

 

[Cjohnson13]

My clinic will still make me wait

Great idea to wait! Whatever helps you pass the time did you ever bleed or get af on progesterone ?

We have a date! Wednesday 16th at 9.15am. So exciting! Can't wait to have my 2 embabies back! Unfortunately, both my husband and I are feeling a bit flat about it all, and knowing we will probably have to do another fresh cycle. On a lighter note, DH's cousin just had her 2nd baby girl today and that has made me feel like this journey is all worth it. I know the end product and I just want it all now! Haha

Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[barbikins]

Hey girls. I'm going for ER tomorrow at 10:30am!
We counted around 12 follicles yesterday. Hoping more will develops and lots will fertilize nice and healthy!

Hi Girls,

Good to hear updates from you all! Congrats to CJ on BFP! Sounds like all is going well with the rest of the girls! Hang in there we will get our BFP soon!

Had my OTD 2 days ago and BFN, AF showed up on the OTD after spotting for 3 days, so onto the next FET, here we go again! It has not hit me as hard this time, which is good, just have to keep playing the embie lottery! We have 4 embies left and DH also brought up that he would be happy to do another fresh cycle if this batch of embies doesn't work, so that keeps me feeling alot less stressed that this is our last chances with this batch!

So, just hanging out with AF eating dark chocolate and relaxing watching TV!

 

[Cjohnson13]

Eve /Allie congrats on the wt date!!
Barb thing of you today waiting for an update
Htw- still holding out?
Pisces- I'm sorry for the bfn I had 1 ivf and 1 fet be chemicals so I know how you feel, my re says very very rarely would a whole batch be bad I'm sure you take home baby is waiting!

Afm (tmi sorry) iv had a stomach bug or something giving me diarrhea for about 4 days I called the clinic to ask if I could take anything and they wanted me to come in for bw. My htc was 31.2 @ 7dp5dt! So I go back tomorrow to see if it doubles...... This is where it went wrong both times so I'm nervous

 

[barbikins]

CJ congrats! I hope it's a viable pregnancy! Good luck

Pieces, I'm SO sorry your cycle didn't work out. I glad you still have frosties and DH is willing to do another fresh round. That helps a lot xo

I'm going to start getting my ass I hear now to get ready for my appointment. I'm nervous. Even though I've been through it before and was fine lol

Good luck barb!!! You'll do great. Can't wait to hear how it all goes

and HTW, How are you!? It's your official test date tomorrow? (it's sunday here already in Aus). Have you done a test yet?

AFM, not much going on here! Just waiting until Wednesday for my 2 embies to be put back.

 

[barbikins]

Eve, I should be having my ET on Thursday. Five day embie. Either way we sill be cycle buddies by one day! Xo
I'm transferring two as well

Ear went well, retrieving 15 embies. Update on how many fertilized tomorrow!

Wow Barbi! What a great number off eggs! Hopefully they all fertilize and you get some great quality embies great idea with the 2 embryos. Are you feeling positive about this cycle? I have everything crossed that everything goes well for you! Please keep us up to date x

Pisces, sorry to hear this that's wonderful about your husband being supportive. We are both in the same position at this point! One fresh failed and one frozen failed am i correct? Are you doing another single embryo transfer or are you transferring 2? We are doing out ET on Wednesday and planning on transferring two this time, instead of the previous 1. But, as we all know with IVF things don't always go to plan but hopefully our 2 embies grow well and go to 5 day. keep up with the dark chocolate you deserve it hehe xx

 

[barbikins]

Hi Girls,
Well I got my numbers. 7/15 fertilized and 5 are where they should be with a possibility that two might catch up....or not.
I'm seriously disappointed. We had only 5/10 in January and had really thought that having 15 would mean at least...10?! FAK.
I know it only takes one time but we already went through a fresh transfer, 2 FET and all of them bfn. So the only thing we can hope for is that these embryo are rock stars. Because this is our last ER and after they're all gone, that's it. Its just deflating, you know?
I'll be getting a call tomorrow to let me know if we're doing a 3-day transfer or 5. I have a strong feeling it will be 3-day.
Anyhow, I can do nothing more than hope for the very best. I have to figure, if after all this if nothing happens, my chances of pregnancy, period, is small.
I was excited...and now, I'm just nervous. Argh.

 

[Hatethewait85]

Eveclo- Yay for ET date!! How exciting!! Are they thawing your embies tomorrow? I've only been on progesterone once - endometrin vaginal tabs with my last FET and I didn't get AF until 2 days after stopping the meds.

Barbi- 7 embryos is good. Don't count the 2 out yet- perhaps they are late bloomers! I know how upsetting it can be to get the initial fert report - I had 22 eggs collected but only 11 fertilized (with ICSI!) so I felt defeated too. I will keep my FX your rainbow baby(ies) are still growing, growing, growing!! This journey sure sucks sometimes and I really really want you to get your happy ending!

Pisces- Sorry about the BFN with your FET. It sounds like you and your hubby have a great attitude about it all though! Dark Chocolate usually makes me feel a wee bit better too

CJ- Hope you are feeling better. How was your second beta? FX for good doubling times!

AFM- Sorry I went MIA for a few days. My MIL had her mastectomy last week and it turns out they punctured her lung so she had another procedure a couple of days ago and is recovering a bit slower than expected. It seems she will be fine but is having an extended hospital stay so we were visiting her the last 2 days. My SIL was here staying with us too so I haven't had a chance to buy a test yet. I'm a bit of a nervous wreck about testing. I actually couldn't help but cry a few times this morning because I am so stressed about it all. I really just can't fathom it working. I mean, why would it?! I've never had a whiff of a BFP in 2.5+ years so it's so unlikely they'll be one this time. I can't even bear to think of what I'll do if (when?) just one line is all I see... Hubby is out running errands and is picking up a test for me. I think I will now just wait until after my PIO shot this evening to test. I'll keep you updated....

 

[barbikins]

HTW, I feel that way too. "Why this time?". It's so hard. This journey sucks so badly and it's hard to deal with constant disappointed cycles. How many dpt are you today??

Nothing I can do about my results. But I can't help but be disappointed.
These embies have to work or else I'm done trying. And I don't want to have to move on without being a parent to my own child. I'm not even asking for much in this world.

 

[Hatethewait85]

Big ((Hugs)) back at ya, Barbi.

I'm 9dp6dt. Which I think adds to my fear of testing. A bfn will be just that. There's no maybe its too early optimism.

This may have been my last ET, too. So I totally get the disappointment of failure. We'll adopt if we don't do anymore IVF cycles, but I can't help but be sad for what I'm missing out on. How do you decide to quit on the joy of pregnancy?! How do I just say, it's ok... I'll never be pregnant?!

Here's hoping I won't have to think about that. Planning to test in 3-4 hours...
