[Hopeful42nd]

Hope your day goes okay. Hope that bfp shows tomorrow! Maybe even tonight, fx

 

[diliapickle]

sorry Nicker you had to see bfn! But as others said you are not out yet! I forget who it was but someone saw a bfn morning of beta and had positive beta so it could still happen!

 

[Hopeful42nd]

That was Equal, our last bfp!

 

[bastetgrrl]

Daydream progesterone gives me crazy vivid dreams too!

Oh man...mine have been seriously crazy!!

 

[bastetgrrl]

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is doing well. We've got so many in the TWW that I'm losing count!

Bring on the BFPs! This thread needs it and BAD!

Nicker - you aren't out yet so hang in there until tomorrow.

AFM - after my emotional meltdown day yesterday (a lot of it posted in my journal ) I think I'm feeling much better today and hope to keep calm and relaxed. I even did yoga last night to help and will probably do it again tonight.

 

[Tella]

Nicker > I hope your BETA shows you something different tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[haj624]

thank you for all of your support ladies!!! I can't wait to hear about more BFP's from all of you!!

AFM: I'm on my 5th day of BC. I head back to the doctors on the 17th for my water sono

I am sorry, dear Nicker..But maybe it doesn't mean 100% that you are out this cycle? Give it a bit more time perhaps?

 

[Kinerie]

Hello everybody,

Off for a few days, desperately need a change of scenery. DH more than me, I fear, too swamped at work, not in a good place right now, I am getting very tired and snappy with him..Ahhhhhh..

Anyhow, to all you TWW I wish the best news next week. Ash, L4Hope, Diliapickle, Frolicky, Tella, Amp26, Daydream, Bastetgrrl, Mohini, Jacquelyn, Lou1234, Nicker - FX!!!!

Will check back with you ladies over the weekend..Have a great week, sending you all positive and serene vibes!!!

 

[Nicker]

Realistically I am out. The odds of two of us in a row getting a positive beta with negative hpts before is really small. Besides my boobs hardly hurt anymore. Let up yesterday.

It almost doesn't seem possible that this time never worked for me. Now I have decisions to make. Ivf isnt an option at $10000 - $12000 a crack. Unfortunately the only way to know if i have poor egg quality is by ivf. I am feeling pretty down but there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. I almost feel like stopping the progesterone now.

 

[DaisyQ]

Don't stop the progesterone - just wait until tomorrow. 24 hours to go until you have your answer.

I know this really really sucks.

Have you ever considered doing IVF out of town? There are some places that offer really good packages. There is a woman on another thread going to a fertility center in upstate NY. She is from Texas. I believe she did all of her monitoring locally, but flew into NY for egg retrieval and transfer. She paid 7K and change, maybe 7500, for THREE cycles of IVF. You put half down up front, and pay off the other half over the course of a year. This is just one of the packages they offer. Of course if it works first try, you don't get a refund for the other unused cycles, but you have the reassurance that if it doesn't work, you have 2 more tries that are paid for (and cost less than 1 round of IVF at most other places). This fee includes ICSI and FET. I think the fertility clinic is called CNY and they have offices in Albany, Rochester and Syracuse. Also, one of the doctors there is renowned. If I end up having to go out of pocket for IVF, I am seriously considering going this route.

 

[DaisyQ]

Kinerie - where are you going? Anywhere fun?? Also, I notice you are also in NY - the city? Curious as to which fertility clinic you are going to.

 

[froliky2011]

Nicker - I am still hoping for you. Anything is possible. I do know though that it's easier to prepare for disappointment and so I think psychologically we do it to soften the pain (if that is possible).

 

[froliky2011]

Angel - I think Hopeful had good answers to your question. I would say don't overdo it. Good Luck!

 

[Nicker]

I am Canadian. That price is for in Vancouver. I would have to fly to Vancouver and spend three days there. My doc would do all the preliminary stuff I would go there just for retrieval and transfer. The most I have left is one IUI.

 

[DaisyQ]

Well... 7500 for 3 rounds is a lot more doable than 10-12K per round, no? Would you consider researching IVF at other places?

I know some people even go to tropical places for their IVF cycle! Not that that would be the most afforable option, but I'm just saying there are other more affordable options out there.

 

[trying hard]

Just thought I'd update my status... BFN and AF yesterday. Going to have a break now to get my head straight, 5 months of clomid crazies and 2 and a half years of BFNs have been hard

 

[Hopeful42nd]

Sorry trying hard enjoy the drug free break and maybe you'll get your bfp not even trying.

I had my IUI this morning. OH had 47.5 million sperm post wash. I got annoyed though because when I had the ultrasound they told me that I had 3 follicles. Two on the right and one on the left. The two on the right were 21mm and 16mm and the one on the left was 13mm. Well when I asked the woman this morning what the sizes were again she said, oh you only had one at 21mm and I asked well I thought there was two more and she said yes, 16mm and 13 but the 13 is probably not big enough ( which I understand) and what about the 16? She said it's probably not viable either! I'm like how does she figure. If a follicle grows about 1-2mm/day and I got the ultrasound done 2 days ago that would mean it's about 20mm ... I would call that viable! Anyways, I'm irritated at her and I almost broke down in the office after they did the insemination and I was laying there waiting! Well, I'm feeling kind of okay about the whole IUI, like OH had a great count, etc. but I'm still feeling like it's not going to work. Yes, I know PMA! I'm trying!

 

[DaisyQ]

Ash, do they do another US the day of your IUI? Just curious, they don't at my place.

On clomid cycles, they usually consider follicles 18mm or larger to be large enough to contain a "mature egg." If your US showed a 16mm follicle 2 days ago, there's a good chance it would have been 18mm today.

For injectable cycles, I think the usually consider follicles that are 14mm or larger to be mature.

Listen hon, most people who do clomid get 1-2 eggs. That's the typical response, and the goal of clomid. The response to injectables is usually 2+ eggs. I know you have to do 3 clomid cycles before you can move to injectables, and there's nothing you can do about that. All it takes is 1 egg and 1 sperm, and you likely had 2 eggs there. But even if you had 3 eggs, nothing is guaranteed, and there is really no way to predict if this will be a successful cycle or not. There are cycles that seem so promising, with 2-3 eggs, and great sperm, and great timing, and it's BFN. Then you read success stories of women with only 1 egg, and less than 1 million sperm, and BFP. It's completely unpredictable and out of our control. You just have "throw the dice," and get through the next two weeks.
