First time IVF - Started Lupron last Thurs - Would Love some Buddies

[Babywhisperer]

Wow, BabyW (or should I say tsunami, hehe)! You can see her face so clearly! So exciting!!

Thank you! I am now hoping it's a girl, especially since we have yet to have one in my family. My grandmother has 5 great grandsons!!! Dh loved the scan, he kept talking to the screen like "Hi baby, hi there little one", it was cute. We found out another friend is prego, she's due 7/1, my other friend is due 7/7, and I'm 7/29. One of them has confirmed it's a girl, the other might not find out.

I can't imagine not knowing...it would KILL me!

My husband was asking last night about the 2 embryos if it had to be both boys or both girls what would I want. I said girls. Because I desperately want my mom to have a grand daughter. But ideally we would have one of each & they would both stick!

Hi everyone. Sorry I'm not responding to all the updates, but work is stressful and I feel like a crazy lady with this TWW. I'm 3dp6dt and am having a hard time waiting to find out if one or both of these frosties stuck. I totally wish now that we had PGS done. Can those of you with BFPs remind me when you got your BFP and if you tested in the days leading up to it? Might help me get a grip. Thanks so much.

Relax lady, try and stay as busy as possible. I did a 5dt and got the faintest bfp on 4dp at night, and another the next morning, but very very faint. Try and hold out a day or 2 more to not get discouraged. The only reason I tested was b/c I got a wave of nausea, headache the could kill someone, and heartburn after eating a banana. With my 1st I didn't get a bfp until the equivalent of 12dpo with IUI and I had zero symptoms.

Thanks ladies, I'm trying my hardest to stay positive and not worry, it's just happened so many times before. I'm going to bank on PIO being my magic fix! Knit girl- I understand too well where you are. I did find online where technically hcg shouldn't start being secreted until 6dp a 5dt. I'm sure you will be pleasantly surprised very soon! I had 6 day blast and on 4dpt I got a negative and then very faint on 5dpt.

Beagle I haven't called my dr yet but I am going to request them to let me come in one day early for my beta, because I have to work Friday. I don't want to go in too soon because I really want to see a nice big number!

It's 3:55am and I have a 4dp6dt squinter!!! I've attached the pic. I don't know if you guys can see it, but DH and I def can. I had him check to make sure I wasn't hallucinating. Darn!! I just previewed the post and you can't really see it. It's pretty faint and shows up in the pic on my phone, but not in the attachment. Boo! But it's there. We're cautiously optimistic!

Knit girl- I can totally see it! Congrats girly

Woohoo!!!! Congrats girl! So happy for you!! Wow the success on this thread sure have grown, let's keep it going!

 

[beaglemom]

I see the line too. I had to wait until I was on a computer to see it though.

My scan went fine. My lining is at 9 & she said they look for 7. So now I just need to wait for my blood work.

I woke up and had to go to the bathroom and wanted to test this morning with FMU, so that's why it was so early. Needless to say, we didn't really get much sleep after that!

Estrogen level is good...another scan on Friday.

I am so happy everyone is getting 2 lines! Let's keep it going!

Wow great week!!!!

I see the line Knit! We need more line porn on here ladies!

I'm so glad for all the good news!

AFM - Went to the hospital over the weekend (baby is fine). I had a coughing fit and thought that I cracked a rib it was so painful I couldn't breath or move. The ER sent me up to labor and delivery because I am over 20 weeks. I went up with another woman who was in labor and 9 mnths pregnant and they started questioning me first. I was like, I am not in labor, my pain is up in my rib area - help her first. 2 hours later they finally got to me, ugh! Once the night staff came in though it was much smoother. No cracked ribs, just a muscle sprain. Spent the next 3 days in bed and I am feeling much better, plus coughing a lot less - so I am kindof glad it happened. Been having a lot of heartburn this week though - not sure if it is from all the Tylenol I was ingesting for the pain. I felt like such a baby but it really did hurt! Hubby took good care of me - so that was nice to see. I also got a peak at the local hospital L&D unit and I am glad that I am choosing to have the baby by my office and not my home, even though the local hosp is well known, I was not impressed by them.

Looking forward to more great news on this thread!!!

Oh and my name is Monica. Hi to everyone else!

 

[LadySosa]

Yay, knit! So excited for you!!! I bet you and DH were over the moon when yous aw that. Congrats.

Moni- yikes! That sounds like a sucky weekend. Sorry you had to go to the ER. Coughing like that is no bueno, especially when you have a little one in your tummy. I'm glad you are feeling better though. And glad your hubby took good care of you. He will be a great dad, I'm sure!

Afm, had bloodwork and u/s this morning. Everything's looking good! Lots of big follicles! Haven't heard yet on the blood results, so I'll hear from my nurse this afternoon with more info. I've got more bloodwork and U/S tomorrow morning and I'll be triggering either Saturday or Sunday! Eeeeee! Then ER will be probably Monday but maybe Tuesday. I'm excited! They seem really confident that they will get a lot of eggs. That's so good to hear. And March 3 is locked down for the transfer. Today my belly is feeling reeaally full but for the most part I feel great. My DH forgot to take his Zithromax. Yikes! Our nurse said that it "didn't really matter" when he took it, so long as he took it before the collection, so we just kept putting it off. Then we shoved it in a drawer and forgot about it. I found it this morning and was like "oh shit!" So he'll take it tonight. Hopefully it's not too close to the collection time... happy Friday everyone! Any exciting weekend plans??

 

[jkb11]

Beagle and lady Sosa - so glad things are on target for you two! Can't wait for some more bfp! Also, lady Sosa- my hubby was very noncompliant with his antibiotics just because they made him sick, but we did just fine egg retrieval wise I'm pretty sure it's just to treat any unknown/possible STDs. But they do it for everyone.

Moni- I'm so glad you're feeling better! It's super attractive when our hubby's step up and are there for us. Glad your hubby was with you!

So I plan to test witha frer in the am. I did cave and use my last dollar store cheapie this am and I have been very anxious all day. It was a different brand test so I keep telling myself that but it was still very light. Everyone please say a prayer that it is super dark tomorrow! I called my RE to update and see if they could change my beta from Friday to Thursday because I work Friday and she told me to come on in Monday because they had scheduled me like I had a fresh transfer. Which I knew they had goofed and done but I wanted to see a big hcg level. Oh well I will go on in Monday.

 

[jkb11]

Line is a little darker this am. Still not as dark as the control line. Going to wait til Monday and get my beta.

Do you ladies with bfp mind reminding me of your beta levels and how many days post transfer it was taken at.

Great progress!! Don't worry too much about the antibiotic. If he starts asap he should be fine. You're getting close!!!

Monica I'm so sorry able it the coughing and muscle sprain. I hope it keeps improving. Is it the cold air that triggers it, and would a warm humidifier help at all?

As for betas I think mine are in my siggy. If not I think my first was done 9dp5dt and was under 200 and on 12dp5dt was under 800. You can check the betabase site to see that very low betas went on the have heartbeats. Hang in there. I know the waiting is a killer.
