"impatiently waiting and complaining" IVF November/December/end of the year bumps

[L4hope]

Excited for you snow!! You'll be joining me in PUPO land!

 

[Anxiously]

Hi lovely ladies, sorry for being MIA for a while.

Michelle - huge congrats! This is going to be the sticky one! Wondfo tests are unreliable sometimes. I've ordered myself some FRER for DH to pick up when he gets into the US tomorrow (can't find those here in Singapore).

L4 - great fertilization report! Fx'd for your transfer on Mon!

Snow - hope you've had some good buys I'm going for some retail therapy myself later.

Kchope, Sept - People just say or do the most awful things without even realizing it. When I teased my best friend on when she can ever get away from her children to go on an overseas vacation with me, she laughed and said "You're so lucky you can travel to so many places! You don't have any children to worry about!". Another one of my friends found out she's pregnant with her 4th child and she wanted to terminate because she felt that it will be too much to handle. Thankfully they decided to keep the baby, but she will be going for ligation procedure. WTF.

Afam, Loch - how many days past transfer has it been? I find symptom spotting a very stressful affair...looks like you girls are doing well in keeping your sanity during the 2WW but just be sure to keep stress out of the equation.

Ash - haven't heard from you for a while, hope everything's going well for you!

Kirst - leave those sticks alone! You're officially preggo so just follow the program and wait for your next beta! Enjoy your little bean for now.

Hope I didn't miss anyone out...

AFM, AF came on Thur. Had a cry fest while looking at what could've been coming out of my body. Anyway, I'm trying to schedule for the hysteroscopy now, hopefully I can get that done by 12/17. I've also started on a fertility TCM program, had my first consultation on Thur. Am drinking prescribed tonic soups and herbal drinks to help shed the uterus lining properly and replenish blood and energy. Can't think of what else I can do already.

Oh and Sandy, looks like I'll have my FET around same time as you...

 

[Afamilygal]

Kirs- I'm sure your next beta will be great, when is it?

Snow- hiya doll! yes, it almost seems like a cruel joke how similar the 'signs' are.

Loch- hows the heartburn treating you? hopefully it has eased up. any new symptoms?

L4- Im so excited for you for Monday! egads! and you said it would never come... (it all goes so fast once you start injecting no? Im so happy you have 7! that is so GREAT!

Michelle- congrats girl!!! that is super exciting! third time WAS a charm huh?? horray!!!

Sandy- hiya!

Sept- im sorry about your friend.. that is a bad feeling, I know it well. poo in a shoe.. .well hopefully you'll both be pregnant together!!!

KC- good thing you didnt kick the woman or tell your dogs to "sick 'em" in front of her kid but jeez... what a shister...she deserves a good kick!
I hear you on the donor front, thats already been suggested to be several times and it is so hard to hear. harder still to try to imagine...
hopefully you aren't there yet.

Anx- Im so sorry about AF, I feel for you. it sounds like you are doing everything you can!!! thats all we can ever do right?

afm- Im bleeding now. a LOT. and I think its AF trying to come on but im still on crinone. I'm sad and frustrated but still holding onto a glimmer of hope that maybe just MAYBE this is not the end. but I fear that it is... I dont feel pg at all and all this blood can't be a good sign.
I go in tomorrow for beta and Im so scared. SO scared, I just hate this... I hope that the dr and dh will agree to do another round of ivf. this was meant to be our only round of ivf with my eggs but I dont want to let go, Im not ready to give up. sorry to be such a super downer, I just feel so sad.

 

[michelle01]

Afam - I am sorry about your bleeding, hoping its just the crinone. I really really hope you get good news tomorrow. And I am a firm believer of contiuing to try....look at me, third cycle! Big

Anx - Sorry about AF, big

L4 - Just two more days to et

Hope everyone else is doing good!

 

[L4hope]

Anx, sorry AF arrived for you. What a heartbreaking cycle. The ups and downs are so tough.

Michelle, bfp here you come girl!!

Afam, so sorry you are feeling sad and scared!! Big big big hug! I don't blame you for wanting to try again and hopefully your doc is willing to do so. Since he found a protocol to stimulate you I would think a second try is reasonable. That's if you need it... I have fingers and tors crossed that you'll be getting good news tomorrow. GL Laine!

 

[Anxiously]

[Anxiously]

Hey girls, am wondering if any of you are on a particular vitamin regime. I've been taking daily women multi-vitamin (brand's Opti-Women) but I have a feeling that the formula may not be ideal for those who are trying to conceive (e.g. seems to have too much of one but too little of the other). Got DH to buy Pregnacare Conception from US just for a try - anyone heard of this brand?

Also going to try taking Royal Jelly. Have been taking EPO and Vitex.

Are any you taking something different?

 

[Afamilygal]

thank you guys, you are all so sweet. I just had my blood drawn and I page the on call nurse after 1:30 for my results. This is so nerve wracking!
also, mt bleeding is insane. Like way more than my usual periods... it isnt quite filling a pad an hour but it isn't far off... this happened to me during the ectopic, I bled before I finished the progesterone a LOT like this... I haven't done a HPT- I've been too afraid of seeing a super dooper faint line like last time.
the risk of ectopic with IVF is less than 1% (the Dr explained it to me as this being when the embryo implants in the are where the fallopian tubes begin) there's no WAY I could fall into that 1% right? not after having fallen into every minor margine?

this is probably just AF right? but why is it happening while I'm on the crinone? I thought it wasn't supposed to?
Has anyone else's started properly or worse than usual AF while on crinone?

 

[Snowbunny]

Afam - I really hope you get good news at 1:30. As for AF, I did start mine even while taking the progesterone suppositories. Fingers and everything crossed for you.

Anxious - I was taking pregvit, it was prescribed by the clinic. Once I started with my thyroid message they asked my to stop taking it and just take folic acid. The pregvit has two pills and had to be taken apart from each other so they were conflicting.

Hey everyone!

 

[Sandy83]

Afam, thinking of you at this nerve racking time. Fx'd for 1:30 . I started my af while on the progesterone suppositeries like snow and mine was really heavy, more than normal.

Anx, I'm pretty much the same as snow with regards to the vitamins. clinic had me in folic acid xxx

 

[Sandy83]

Any news afam? Xxx

 

[Afamilygal]

It was negative.
It got very confusing as I took a HPT late morning and it was very faintly positive so I was really upset thinking it really was another ectopic or something bad (SO much blood) but then there was also hope- like maybe just maybe there isn't more bad news as always.
but then it was only a 1. so maybe it tried to implant and just didn't make it. I don't really know what happened and I suppose I never will.
I'm so sad. Im so angry and confused and hurt... anyways. A lot if not all of you know exactly how this feels so I won't go on. Life can be so mean can't it?
We are waiting until the follow up which is 1.5 weeks to see if the Doc thinks it is something we should try again before moving to donor eggs. I know he is going to want us to use ED... it makes me so sad. Im only 29, how can it be that I may never have my own baby? I know that once I'm holding a child no matter WHERE it came from it will all make sense and be just right but right now, it just hurts so damn much...
I'm going to go now. Love to you all.

 

[Sandy83]

Im so sorry afam. Never be sorry for saying how you feel we have all gone through it and understand but it's good to talk and we are all hear to listen. Thinking about you always. Sending you lots of at this very hard time xxx

 

[michelle01]

Oh Afam, I am soooo sooo sorry I know there are no words to help, but we are here for you. And definitely vent away, life can definitely be cruel. You will be a mommy one day, never give up hope.

 

[Snowbunny]

Oh, afam sweetie I am so sorry . Take the time to grieve with DH and know that we're all here for you.

 

[L4hope]

Oh Afam I'm so sorry for your loss! Life is absolutely cruel at times and extremely unfair. I wish it didn't have to be so confusing for you I'm sure making it even harder. You have every right to feel whatever you feel and this is somewhere to let it all out. We all will completely understand and support you!! Take care of yourself my dear. Sending you much love and hugs!

 

[Kirs_t]

Afam I'm so so sorry go gently and take all the time in the world that you need. We are here for you every step of the way.
You will be a mummy one day and you will be the most wonderful mum.... Wishing you so much love and hope xxx I just wish I could take your hurt away x

 

[septbride]

Afam, I'm so sorry, sweetheart. This is all such a horrible heart wrenching tease. I hope your hubby is taking good care of you and that things don't feel too dark.

Sending love your way.
