Hi ladies, My 6BB embie survived the thaw and transferred beautifully. I'm back at home, in my bed, snuggled up watching Alice in Wonderland. I'm going to take it easy for the next couple of days.

Thanks for all of your well wishes. They mean the world to me.

Hi!!! What a bloody week, we got home and both girls got very sick.. they are now just feeling better but Lily's heart murmur is really loud again So the doctor thinks it's because of fever and should quiet again. She has to go back in a few weeks for a relisten to make sure. They are finally feeling a bit better today and they never get sick but as the doctor suggested they were in a confined space(plane) with people that are in peak cold/flu season so just glad they are better.

Ok now me, a chemical it was a very light line and then quickly faded sooooo had a chat with the big guy (hubs) and I think I'll go back in March/April.. spoke to FS and he said I should probably down regulate or sniff that hellish Synarel for 3 months to give myself a good shot. He told me to stop meds today if the stick was saying no but it was over before it started a few days ago. I have a consult with the reproductive immunologist Dec 16th so will have bloods done before I get off the immune drugs to see if there was a flare.

Not thinking my official test day is Monday the 28th and I emailed Eva to say it was negative today and tell her I'd be back .. hopefully she doesn't want me to wait til Monday to test and stop meds.. didn't even think about that! So was hoping this would be easier but not so and shouldn't be surprised am thankful I have my girls to hug though

Congrats Boopin and Vonn am hoping and thinking positive thoughts for you both!!!!

 

[Butterfly67]

Oh job Crystal so sorry but glad you are going back and hope Lily gets better soon xx

 

[Waiting74]

Hi. This is my first time posting, but I have been an avid reader/follower for a while. I am 42. I got married at 40. We immediately began trying to conceive and because of my age, we decided to get some assistance. I ended up doing three IUIs and got pregnant on our third try. It was my first pregnancy and at the age of 41 and a half. I was so ecstatic. When we went to our 16 week checkup, the ultrasound showed that something was wrong with the baby (of course the ultrasound technician didn't tell us this, we had to wait a day to find this news out from our doctor, which was devastating). We went to a specialist and an amnio confirmed that our baby was Trisomy 18 and was not developing normally. The flow of blood to and from his heart was traveling in the wrong direction, there was a cyst on a brain. It was crushing. We decided not to move forward with the pregnancy at almost 22 weeks. It was such a tremendous loss for us, one we are still dealing with a year later.
Since we were so afraid to have that happen again, we decided to do IVF with PGS testing to try to get a normal embryo. I did a lot of research, changed my diet, did weekly acupuncture, added a bunch of supplements and really threw myself into the process of preparing my body for pregnancy. We ended up doing four IVFS and got two normal embryos that were given the highest quality. This past July we did a transfer and found out in August that it didn't implant. Again, it was just so crushing. It felt like losing our baby all over again. I worked so hard to get that normal embryo and then to have it not implant was so disappointing, especially since my doctor made it seem like we would get pregnant if we got a normal embryo. Now we have one normal embryo left and are waiting for the right time to move forward with the transfer. I feel so much pressure knowing this is my last chance and I really need to get in more of a positive place. We have talked about other options, donor eggs and adoption, but at this point, we are trying to focus on getting ready for the transfer. I did have all a panel of bloodwork done for bloodclotting, etc. I do have thyroid issues and have been getting my levels monitored for that and am on medication for it.
I am sorry this post is so lengthy, but I wanted to reach out and share where I am at in the fertility world.

Vonn and Boopin - congratulations on your PUPO!!! I was so excited to be in that place and am hoping to get there again soon!!

 

[sienna]

I’m so sorry Crystal do you not think you’ve just tested too early, did you have pregnyl injections? I hope Lily gets better soon.

Welcome Waiting74 I’m sorry to hear about your loss and struggle, I had implantation failure and will be having a hysteroscopy in a week to check things out. Do you have any other tests planned?

 

[Waiting74]

Sienna - I don't have any other tests planned. I just did a hysteroscopy in June and a bunch of bloodwork a month ago. Now, I'm just waiting a few months to get my body and more importantly my mind in a better place!

 

[Bluebell bun]

Vonn, Boopin - yay, congrats on being PUPO. Keeping everything crossed for you lovely ladies x
Waiting - I am sorry to hear about your struggles. The ladies on this thread are so supportive and collectively have so much advice to offer.
Crystal, I hope your little one is feeling a bit better. I am sorry that your cycle has resulted in a chemical
As for me, I am beyond thrilled to let you know that we had a beautiful baby girl last Friday. She weighed 5llb 8oz. I can't believe she is a week old already, despite feeling as if we have been awake every hour of the last week!!
We struggled a bit with her feeding initially but she gained weight for the first time on Thursday and the midwife is not due back again until tomorrow so fingers crossed. Xx

 

[Pinkie3]

Crystal, I am so sorry to hear about the chemical, what did the clinic advise? Good for you in making plans to go back already.

Waiting, I am sorry to hear of your loss and struggles, nothing can compare you for the emotional side of things while fighting infertility, it's definitely one the the hardest things I have ever been through. Stay strong and stay focuses and hope we can offer you some support.

Boopin, Vonn, I hope you are both doing ok during the wait, it's such an anxious time.

Bluebell, so lovely to hear from you and huge congratulations to you and DH on your beautiful little princess, such amazing news. Glad everything is going well apart from lack of sleep, enjoy family life, you deserve it xx

 

[Bluebell bun]

Thanks Pinkie, how are you keeping ? When is your due date? Xx

 

[sienna]

Congratulations bluebell what have you called her?

 

[ps57002]

Congratulations bluebell. I can only imagine the joy you must feel and how life has changed.

Pinkie, you are inching closer to due date. How do you feel?

Vonn and Boopin how are you both doing? Are you testing early? Keeping everything crossed for you.

Waiting I am sorry that this all has been so difficult and heartbreaking so far. Sending u hugs and prayers that this time things will be different. We are here to walk with you through this.

Crystal I hope that maybe you just tested early. Thinking of you. This is such a difficult journey. I had to take a break after last ivf for a year.

Hugs to you all.

 

[Vonn]

Crystal--I am so sorry about the negative result. After all that work & travelling so far with your whole family. And then to have all the sickness, yuck! I love your resolve and commitment! You will get there!

Bluebell--Yay!! Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl! Amazing news! I am so happy for you. Glad to hear the feeding is going better. Keep us updated!

Boopin--how are you doing? Any symptoms of note?

2have--how's the back pain and the numbness/tingling? I hope you are getting some relief.

PS--are you in the US? If so, how was Thanksgiving with the family?

Sienna--good luck with the upcoming hysteroscopy.

Waiting74--sorry to hear of all your heartache and good luck to you. If you are seriously contemplating donor eggs, then you've found the right thread. Bascially every one on here is using donor eggs/donor embryos.

AFM--I am 6 days past 5-day transfer today. I had progesterone (37.5) and estradiol (1542) tested this morning. I have no idea if these numbers are good indicators. I go in Thursday for the beta hcg. There's been a couple things that could be good signs. On Saturday night I was in bed and I sneezed and it was a super intense pain in my uterus/pelvic area; very unlike a normal sneeze feeling. I have also had a few instances of a mild shooting pain in my bb. Overall, though, I don't "feel pregnant"...but I know that doesn't really mean anything, that people can feel all kinds of things or nothing at all. I am trying to not think it's a failure, but I'm certainly leaning more in that direction than in the direction of unbridled optimism. I started tearing up in the Dr office when I saw a pg lady, so there's definitely some emotions going on. Only a couple days and I will know.

 

[sienna]

I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you Vonn I really hope you have a sticky bean in there
