IVF Aug/Sept 2015 Fresh & Frosties

[Christie2011]

It's still early Hope, sending . Maybe your LO is taking its time settling in. Have you had any cramping or spotting? I've had cramping but no spotting. I had spotting and much less cramping with my first IVF cycle though and that was successful.

Hope
How many days was your embryo? If its 5 day embryo and your ticker is correct that your only 5 days post a transfer- than i think your still early. Last transfer, i got my bfp 8dp6dt and i tested every morning and evening.

Remember frozen embies take longer to implant. I am still holding out hope for you!!!!!

Congrats, Christie! Wishing a HH 9 months!

Hope, sending you baby dust! I agree with pp, maybe your LO implanted a little late.

AFM, second beta was today and it's now at 576! My early pregnancy US will be scheduled for sept 3rd

Thanks gals. It was a 5 or 6 day embie we transferred. I know it's early but, the last few days I have been having lots of cramping and sore boobs and then this morning I woke up and nothing. I knew that i was going to get a bfn this morning. I hate to be a negative Nancy, but I really think that the little embryo tried to implant but didnt

 

[Christie2011]

Congrats Christie!!!!!!

HopeThisYear I'm keeping fingers crossed ur LO is getting snuggled in there now and u get your bfp soon.

AFM I feel crappie scared anxious. I get anxiety in general even taking cough syrup. The side effects of these Stims is getting to me now. Last few days I had some pullin soreness pain in left lower back and behind area. Sometimes I can sit comfortably. Today spread to right for a bit, lots thirst for a bit, plus peeing. Discomfort slightly better but bloated. Also feel a little out of air and tight in chest area, maybe just anxiety. Ear plugged maybe from recovery from cold. It's all getting my anxiety up. Tomorrow ultrasound. Estrogen on Friday 5 days with stim was 146. Isn't that low?

I wish I felt like me right now, being pumped up is now starting to feel unbearable. Wonder how much longer, starting to wonder if I can get through this.

Are these OHSS symptoms? Should I be worried. What to do.

 

[bettybee1]

Ps5 - you can't actually techincally get Ohss till you have had egg collection. When the follicles will fill back up with fluid and may leak into your abdomen . It's pretty normal to feel that way during stims I've done 4 cycles and felt that way each time.
If you suffer from anxiety it may be that you sensitive to changes in your body hence making you feel worse I woudknt worry when you have you next tracking scan they will ensure they look for if your going to develop ohss and try and prevent it if that's the case xxx

Did your doctor adjust your meds at all? I'm not sure if that's low, but I know they don't want your estrogen level to rise too fast. They dropped my meds way down after my first cycle day 5 scan because my estrogen was way too high.

I think it's too early for OHSS. Usually symptoms would start closer to retrieval and get worse after retrieval.

Don't know if you will find it useful at all but I found this:
"Gonadotropins, often referred to as “FSH” or “stimulation drugs” ( Gonal-F, Repronex, Menopur, Follistim, Bravelle and others), are given to help ovaries to develop multiple follicles over 7-14 days."

"During IVF treatment, a typical estrogen level will be less than 50 at the time of baseline evaluation and may get as high as 2,000 - 4,000 (In a normal menstrual cycle the estrogen level starts out less than 50 and peaks at about 250-350.)."

Thank you bettybee and Christie for explaining to relieve my anxiety.

At doc office waiting speak with nurse. Had ulrasound and I feel real discouraged and emotional.

Doc (new) said left shows 2 approx at 13 and one cyst. Right has one I think 11. Hearing my amh thinks this may be best I do. Said to come back 2 days. Looks like start ganirelix tomorrow and may increase I think menopur.

I guess I am not Stimming that well huh? Only 3, today day day 7 on stimms.

Feeling this won't work. Odds against me

 

[bettybee1]

Oh hun even if you got. 3 that's great! Xx

 

[ttcbaby117]

Ps praying all goes ok Hun!

Wanna. Nice beta congrats!

afm- 10dp5dt- I just got a squinter of a bfp on a FRER. I was only able to hold my pee for 3 hours and I was drinking a ton of Gatorade so I don't know if that is why or if it is a chemical. Who knows. I'm not celebrating yet. I have been holding my pee and not drinking for another 3 hours but I have to go. Is this long enough?

 

[bettybee1]

Ttc yes will be long enough !!!

Can u upload a photo xxx

 

[Hopethisyear]

Ttc - woohoo for a bfp! This is your first test right? Without something to compare it to its hard to say. Test again tomorrow and hopefully it's darker.

Ps -You still have time for follies to grow and there may be some hiding too.

Christie - when do we get some line porn to look at?

AFM - another BFN I'm using Wondfo which I've used before and gotten + with. 3 more days until beta. I need some ocean therapy. My Dr said no swimming for 1 week, but I think I'm going to dip in the ocean today, no swimming, just a dip.

 

[bettybee1]

Hope - is it morning where you are ?? I would take a dip aswell your still early yet xx

 

[Hopethisyear]

It is 7:30 am here in Hawaii 🌈my dr said no swimming for 1 week after transfer. Tomorrow is one week, I'm going anyway lol.

I'm posting daily photos of my tests in my journal anyone wants to follow, I don't want to clog this thread.
