IVF Aug/Sept 2015 Fresh & Frosties

[Wish2BMom]

tina - hang in there, I'd agree with the girls. don't believe everything you see on the internet (cheapies)

cowgirl - great scan numbers!

rachy - you too, holy cow!

ren - awesome fert report!! anymore news since Sat? transfer date or are you freezing first?

afm - nothing exciting here yet. Day 4 of stims, tonight, then my first scan tomorrow. I've just been having slight headaches and some fatigue, but hanging in there. I don't remember the headaches last time.

Renae - AWESOME news on the fertility report grow embies grow!

Luciola - I asked my nurse about it and she said "Sure as long as you're not lifting anything too heavy"... when I told her the weight of my daughter she did pause for a second and then said "As long as it's something you're body is used to doing. My daughter just turned three is and probably over 30 lbs. The first transfer I had I didn't lift her for 24 hrs and that ended in a CP. The second transfer I picked her up that night (and occassionally throughout the TWW) and so far that little bean has been doing just fine

Tina - 5 days is DEFINITELY still early. Hang in there and try again in few more days.

Bit of a change in direction here girls but I've just been to the loo and I'm having brown spotting.

Could this be what I think it is? A tiny bit of hope has just come back

Sorry for the TMI girls but if I can't share it with you who can I share it with haha!

[KrissyB]

Tina - that definitely looks like it could be implantation spotting to me. Brown is old blood so that's good FXed for you

 

[Renaendel]

That looks like hope to me too Tina!

Waiting on my AM phone call to tell us our egg status and if we are transferring today.

 

[tinadecember]

Thanks girls, crossing my fingers tightly. No more testing for me for a few days

Renae eeeek fingers crossed! You could be PUPO today!

Xx

Good luck Tina!!!

Just had my first scan today, day 6 of stims. Lots of follies between 8 and 12mm one already at 14mm. Next scan in 2 days

 

[Wish2BMom]

tina - that looks like the right stuff!

ren - EEEE!!! I hope you're PUPO in a bit!

amanda - great numbers!! our schedules are only 2 days apart

 

[Em260]

tina - definitely looks like could be implantation bleeding!

Ren - how exciting! Keep us updated!

Amanda - looks like things are progressing well. Won't be long now!

Wish - I had some dull headaches too. Hopefully it will get better as your body adjusts to being on the meds. Good luck for tomorrow!

 

[amanda1235]

Wish - yup! Guess so what meds are you on? I have had headaches (mild) pretty much every evening. Also, been super exhausted about mid day for a couple hours, then ready for bed super early at night.

Ren - any news yet?

 

[N8ie]

Tina- that looks like implantation blood, all the best to you.

 

[4magpies]

Had my second scan today. Only 3/4 of my 41 have grown as they should. Others haven't moved. They've upped my dose again. Not feeling hopeful now.

Ren - any news yet?

that's exactly how I've been feeling. I'm on 150 UI of menopur and 450 Gonal-F. I'm pretty sleepy now....
I actually had a 1/2 cup of coffee on Saturday and it made the headache worse! I took ibuprofin, I couldn't take it. I hope that didn't botch anything up. It was only the day after my first stim, so I hope it didn't disrupt anything.
First scan in the am! I'm not expecting anything terribly remarkable...being all DOR and stuff.

 

[Wish2BMom]

4magpies - hang in there! hopefully the upped dosage will kick those follicles into shape!

 

[Cowgirl07]

Gonal f made me very tired! Especially when the dosage got upped. Pepsi, Tylenol and a nap was my re recommendation when I had a bad headache.
Embryo update on day 4. 10 are grade ones and 2 are grade 2.

 

[Wish2BMom]

haha thanks, cowgirl! That's a good recipe!

those are awesome numbers!!! going in tomorrow for the transfer? or are you freezing, I can't remember?

 

[Cowgirl07]

Freezing, I had an early rise in progesterone. My dr told me I would likely end in freeze all since the beginning, my body likes to try to ovulate early.

 

[Renaendel]

We just came home from the clinic. It is over two hours away. Our call this morning stated they had lost 3 of the 8 left

Remaining were
2-8 cell
2-7 cell
1-6 cell

Since we had two clear leaders that could potentially arrest she wanted me in today at noon to transfer. I AM PUPO with two!

 

[Em260]

Ren - congratulations on being PUPO!!

 

[Luciola]

Beautiful beautiful embbies Ren!

Thank you Em and Krissy! My son is just over 23lbs so way over the 10lbs limit. The problem is that I have to carry him on a bus ride (2 hours a day in total) to work and to his day care, I usually use a baby carrier and front carry him but he starts to bounce a lot recently. I also have my work suitcase which weighs quite a bit too. My husband helps me during a few times during the 2ww which is great. To be honest, I have 2 minds - I feel guilty not carrying him and carrying him! My RE didn't say anything on this but I may ask him tomorrow.

By the way Tomorrow is my BETA DAY! We live in Asia so we are 12hours in advance. It will be 8dp5dt.

I just can't sleep well these two days!!
