IVF 2020 Chatter

[Lunabelle]

Thanks Bevziibubble and Ftale! It’s just because I have irregular cycles and often after something like this i can go for months without a period. She said she preferred to give my ovaries a rest and not to put me on a hormone. So I am just going in next week fr to see if there’s a follicle developing, they would do the embryo transfer 5days after ovulation.

Hi Ladies!! I was MIA yesterday, i was trying to keep my self busy w crafts lol trying to keep my mind off the hcg trigger shot 11pm last night. I survived it! Haha! It still hurts tho rn.

@LadyVictoria niagra falls!! Id love to go back there. Ive only seen it once like 4 years ago and it’s so beautiful. well that surr is better than golf to me hehe. Im so excited for you!!! When is your transfer again? btw, the PIO, was it worse than the hcg trigger? Im so scared of it.... mine is also going to be every 3days and thank you for the tips! What do you mean bout heat up the syringe?

@FTale thank you for the prayers! Been doing a lot of those too and include you and everyone Im anxious only cos of the anesthesia, but otherwise excited. Goodluck on your appointment! Hopefully it goes well! Other than drinking lots of water, ive not been doing well on diet lol. 1 cheat day should be fine hehe!

@Lunabelle and @STAR thank you!

That's great news luna!

 

[LadyVictoria]

@Lunabelle Congratulations on your embryos! I hope it's smooth sailing from here for you!

@Katzoemac Yes, I'd pick the falls over the driving range any day! We had a great time. Glad to hear you survived your trigger shot and best of luck for your retrieval! Was your trigger shot intramuscular? Mine was subcutaneous and in my stomach just like stims, so it was super easy. I was curious to see if I'd have any soreness today from the PIO shot and I feel totally normal. I'm thinking having them every 3 days and switching sides will really save me from the pain and knots that a lot of people seem to experience with daily PIO. By heating the syringe, I meant drawing up the oil, put the correct needle on, and then run it under hot water or heat it with your heating pad. It helps make the oil thinner and more easily dispersed in your muscle.

My transfer is on Tuesday so we're just 3 days away. I confirmed that my husband is allowed to come with me so we're very excited and ready to go!

 

[Katzoemac]

@Lunabelle goodluck to you! Hopefully you ovulate soon!

thank you @LaDY ! I did everything you said with the PIO and i didnt feel a thing! Tiny but sore a few minutes later but nothing bad. My hcg was IM, that one made me sore! Cannot wait to hear about your transfer!! So excited for you !

i had my retrieval yesterday, i was so sore after and pretty much slept all day. But woke up feeling better today. they retrieved 17 eggs, out of 17, 11 were mature and today my doctor called and said we have 10 embryos! Im so happy! My transfer will be on thursday 5 day embryo. Praying praying!!!

 

[Bevziibubble]

That's great news

 

[FTale]

Luna: Ahhhh, that makes total sense. You have a wonderful doc thinking about your body. You got this. 5 days after ovulation and...its go time.

Congrats Katz!!! FX for your transfer!!!!

LadyVictoria: One more day!!! HUGS

As for me, my body is doing whatever it wants this cycle. On Vitex and Sermorelin making it hard to tell which is making the biggest impact. Regardless I am so happy with how everything is going in my life right now. I will not let not being pregnant get me down. I've fallen off this horse too many times to just lay there and get trampled on like a turd...lol..have to get up and resaddle. So come what may this will be a very good year for us all ladies.

 

[LadyVictoria]

@Katzoemac I'm glad that your first PIO went well! I did my second one this morning and it was a piece of cake, just like the first! I think that doing them every 3 days and alternating sides is the way to go, even with how annoying the Endometrin discharge is. Good luck for Thursday!

To @FTale as well, I am very excited for the big day tomorrow! I'll be sure to update you all on how it goes. I'm not sure how well I'll sleep tonight. I haven't drank alcohol for a week or so but I'm having a small glass to finish my last open bottle and I hope that it's my last one until next March! And it sounds like you have the right attitude! This whole journey with a global pandemic thrown on top has really shown me just how little I am in control of things and I just need to make the best of tough situations and go with the flow.

 

[Katzoemac]

@FTale yes!! That’s the attitude i have too. At this point, im claiming getting pregnant postive attracts positive

@LadyVictoria omg it’s tomorrow!!! Ugh yea that endometrin discharge is weird. Lol. 10 weeks, and we’ll be done w this discharge lol! Byw, when did you discuss w your RE how many embryos to transfer if you did? Bec my transfer is in 3 days and we have not had that discussion yet :/ ive mentioned it last year during initial consult, but have forgot to mention again :/ im thinking of calling tomorrow

 

[Katzoemac]

@LadyVictoria thinking if you today! Hope all goes well with your transfer!

 

[LadyVictoria]

Thanks so much everyone, I am officially PUPO! The transfer went smoothly, aside from my husband being a nervous wreck and needing to sit down! The doctor said our embryo looked perfect and it's already hatching! Now we relax and wait.


@Katzoemac My RE confirmed at my last two lining checks that we were only transferring one. We definitely needed to discuss it before the big day in my case since they had to thaw the correct amount.

 

[FTale]

YAYYYY!!!

Praying for you, your hubby and baby LadyVictoria!!

 

[LadyVictoria]

YAYYYY!!!

Praying for you, your hubby and baby LadyVictoria!!

Thank you so much! It doesn't feel quite real that there's actually a little embryo in there for the first time every! Someone pinch me lol

 

[Bevziibubble]

So exciting!!

Yay!!!! Omg so excited for you!!! PUPO!! We’ll have babies my march!!

How was the experience? Was there any pain? So w hatching, did they transfer the embryo was already hatching? Or did it hatch Immediately after transfer? Sorry too many questions!

haha your hubby! The guys get more nervous than us sometimes hehe. But lucky you have him w you. My husband is not allowed in :/ but i understand, they have protocols.

Mine is in 2 days im hoping all my fertilized embryos reach day 5, i will know tomorrow. Im so tempted to call clinic and ask but haha! Ill wait lol

 

[FTale]

Katz, omg I would have already called!! lol... Praying they reach day 5 for you.

 

[FTale]

I felt so sick today. My temp dropping with negative tests did not help. The sermorelin shot is making me itch and most likely the cause of my mouth tasting all weird.

I had to take benadryl which will mess with morning temp but sooooo needed for relief to this itchiing.

At this rate I will be doing the Clomid Challenge 5 - 9 of next cycle which will start Saturday.

Ok, benadryl is hitting me hard better lay down.

Night all

 

[Bevziibubble]

I hope that you got a good sleep

 

[FTale]

I hope that you got a good sleep

Thank you Bev. I slept 6 straight hours!! I barely get 3 or 4 with at least 3 interruptions. I slept so well. I did wake to a lowered temp but my cycle is coming so it was expected. I tested bfn on osom and a faint line on my pregmate test but it is just faulty because my LH is raising again based off of opk I took as well.

Kind of getting exciting for AF to get here so I can start the Clomid Challenge. Its like while this cycle is coming to an end the ttcing feels continuous knowing that bleeding equals medication to ovulate better....lol...goodness.

LadyVictoria how are you feeling today?

Everyone else?

 

[Bevziibubble]

Yay, I'm glad you got a good sleep
