Femara Friends!

That's fantastic that things are moving along Karen! I can't wait to you have a child in your arms. I'm going ok. Have a pregnal injection tomorrow then I can test 10 days after that. I'm 6dp3dt today and feel nothing lol. I didn't end up with any to freeze and the scientist strongly believes its a genetic issue. He suggested I keep doing cycles and bank embryos on day one then have testing done once I have a good amount. My cousin has offered to donate her eggs to me so I guess we have some decisions to make if these little beans don't make it. I wish someone could just tell me what to do lol

I hear ya there, if someone could guarantee me a baby from IVF i would find the money, but i cant bring myself to spend 10 grand on a slight possibility

have you looked into Atain? if they offer it there....my doctor gave me a packet on it...basically if you dont come home with a baby you get 100%back in this one program. i had no clue they did that!

So tommorow is the big day to see how many follies I have crossing my fingers for good ovulation, I did have a couple of painful cramps yesterday but that was all, however when I did a ovulation test this morning it showed positive for ovulation. Just that made me smile to know that the femara is doing that.....Wish me luck please

Ok ok I'm driving myself insane!!! I've been taking pregnal booster shots and had my last one three days ago. I tested yesterday afternoon and got a bfp ( no surprise because of the trigger ) this morning I tested with fmu and the line is a fair bit darker. Would the concentration of my wee make such a big difference??? Yes I'm officially losing the plot. I'm not sure why I even tested!!! I'm due another pregnal injection tonight so won't be able to test in the morning to see it it has got darker. I'm 7dp3dt today.

Chook- I would give it a couple more days. Pregnal is hcg? Don't test yet, it just wastes $ and makes you crazy. The breakdown of what happens after transfer (according to some New York hospital) is that on 11 dpo the embie finishes implantation and on 12 dpo HCG begins to enter your bloodstream. Since you are doing booster shots, I would wait to test. When is your beta? You could always test that morning if it's several days after your last booster. Sorry you are going nuts. I know exactly how that feels. I thought we had a natural BFP last month as AF was a week late and I kept testing even though I said I would wait to see a Dr... It's tough! I'll be thinking about you!

Chook sorry you are having such a hard time with not knowing. You are just like me. I hope this is really a bfp for you, but with the shots I don't know if we can know. Good luck!

Thanks Brandy, Im so excited!

 

[Chook]

Thanks lotus and Karen! I really don't know why I tested. It was a weak moment lol. It's another ten days till my better so I'm going to TRY and stay away from the tests!!!! I told Joel to keep me away from the pee sticks haha! We are going on holidays in two weeks so I'm just going to try and focus on that and keep busy. Thanks girls again for supporting me through this xox

 

[Chook]

Beta not better!!! See I'm slowly losing it lol

Thats a tough one. I triggered with Pregnyl but I didn't do booster shots I tested the trigger out of my system which only took 4 days so by my day 5 transfer I had a negative... so I saw the very first faint line at 2dp5dt... it was dark enough for the camera by 4dp5dt but I was also unknowingly pregnant with twins so a higher HCG.

However the fact that you took one and got a BFP one day with a darker BFP the next day is quite reassuring that something is working. How long are you on the boosters and how are they going to have an accurate OTD HCG if they keep giving boosters?

Okay ladies so I went to my appointment with my doctor today and I'm satisfied with the information I received and I have 5 follies, 2 on the left measuring 12.1 & 13.9 and 3 on the right measuring 12.9, 10.6, 9.3. He informed me I should ovulate sometime within this next week so I was giving a shot of bravelle (150 units).....and I have to go back on 8/28 to see how big they get or if I ovulate....Im so excited!!!!!

Oh interesting... so only 1 dose of stimming meds? The 3 follies that you have 12mm and higher are very good prospects! They should continue to grow about 1mm a day until you ovulate.

FX for your BFP... maybe natural triplets too

 

[Chook]

Hey brandy, I had my last booster last night and my beta is booked for 10 days time just to make sure it's out of my system. Last time I tested the booster out and it was gone after 5 days. I just wasn't sure if the second test was darker because it was in the morning???? I tested the day before in the afternoon. I'm so tempted to keep testing and see what happens. It's requiring more will power then I have at the moment lol. Only time will tell I guess

Brandy- yeah thats what the doctor said too that the ones 12 and higher will continue to grow 1-2cm a day so he scheduled mje for another appointment when he expects the eggs to be in the twenty cm......hahahah yes triplets would be nice then I can take a break for awhile lol

 

[Prayerful]

I really hope it is a true BFP Chook!! The wait is killing me so I can only imagine how you must feel!

Good luck Shugga!

 

[~Brandy~]

You know Chook if you took one now the next 2 mornings and saw that it was getting darker we would know for sure

haha

 

[Chook]

Haha! Well I have been naughty and testing. I tested at 8dp3dt one day past trigger and got a nice line of course, then yesterday 9dp 2 days past trigger the test was a little darker, I've just tested now 10dp3dt 3 days past trigger and the test is only a touch lighter??? Last time I tested out my trigger it dropped really fast and was gone in 4 days. I had a very small amount of pink/brown spotting mixed in with crinone last night and started freaking but it has stopped. Because they are not getting darker I don't really like our chances but its weird that they are not really getting lighter either xox

Alot of time they will stay about the same for a few days... that happens because the babies HCG is making up what the trigger is dropping off.

It sounds promising. I had to test daily or I would have lost it.
