IVF Aug/Sept 2015 Fresh & Frosties

[sunshine1217]

At 5dp5dt I caved and tested and got this!

Woohoo!!!! That's a beautiful line even I can see! Do you feel anything?
When is your beta?

 

[Cowgirl07]

No I feel normal for the most part, a bit of cramps but nothing much. Beta is Thursday

 

[sunshine1217]

Ems we also screened all the chromosomes. Maybe I shouldn't get cvs either ?! I only had the mat21 like test harmony with my last one. We didn't even do pgd bc that also had a slight chance of ruining the embryo.

Cowgirl- congratulations, it's definitely a line. Wow this group has been getting good news lately and that makes me so happy. Congrats.

Well, I think you should talk to your OB and see what he/she recommends. Mine said she would only recommend a CVS if the maternit21 and NT scan came back positive for a chromosome issue.

YAYYYY Cowgirl!!! Congrats! great line!!!! WOOHOO!!!

Em- Yes I did.. I was on zofran and reglan and was hospitalized once... but it did go away around 13 weeks...But I also know that my estrogen was through the roof and they were changing it up to help... so maybe it was medicinally induced hyperemesis. I'm worried now bc I feel nothing!! lol I'm so early though, so I'm sure it's coming! When did you start getting nauseous or symptomatic?

Christie- Woww.. what a lot of info that goes into the donor process.. I commend you. IVF is difficult enough without an extra step. I have a friend who has her daughter using a donor egg, and she got a profile as well, and decided to choose the woman who most resembled her over academics actually... never realized how much thought goes into every little detail! Best of luck!

 

[Hopethisyear]

Sorry I haven't been around much, but wanted to say a big Congratulations to Cowgirl

 

[ttcbaby117]

Em- wow yeah I guess there is a possibility of a lab issue but geez I do hope not!

Sunshine- congrats Hun that is awesome! My dr won't do a beta on the weekend but they will do e2 and ultrasound checks.

Cowgirl- very nice line!!!! Congrats

Afm- sitting in the ultrasound room now. Hopefully my lining is stellar.

 

[boopin4baby]

Keeping my FX'ed for you ttcbaby!! I hope that your lining is nice and thick.

Congrats girl.. I definitely can see 2 lines!!

Wishing ALL expecting moms a healthy pregnancy and sending lots of baby dust to those TTC

AFM - We selected another donor. She goes for testing the week of 11/16. Keep me in your prayers ladies . Praying that she has lots of follies!!

 

[sunshine1217]

boopin4baby, where are you in cali? i live in socal. how do you pick donors, do you get like a pamphlet?

ttcbaby117, how was your lining? 9 more days till your transfer, how exciting!

ems, I'm 38 so my husband thinks I definitely should. I'll see how my ob thinks, when I find a new ob. I didn't like my old one so need to look for a new one.

how was everyone's halloween? I am so tired from this past week! I am still waking up early every morning, 5 am is sleeping in then daylight savings made it 4 this morning.

 

[boopin4baby]

Sunshine I'm in norcal. My clinic has a patient portal with a list of prospective donors. They offer an in-house donor program, if you choose. Some people utilize a known donor or use an outside donor agency. It's all up to the recipients and their TTC plans.

I'm on vacation right now, well actually it's a stay-cation.. LOL!! Halloween was a scary movie marathon and popcorn for me. How was yours??

Hope you get your donor in place huni x

 

[sunshine1217]

boopin, are you in sf? I love the bay area, minus the rain and cold. stay cation sounds awesome! I need one of those. if you use a donor you don't know, do you meet her first?

 

[boopin4baby]

Sunshine, I'm near the capitol city. We've chosen an anonymous donor. Neither party will ever meet. I'm really hoping we get a good number of follicles with her. She's only 24 and very fit. Keeping my FX'ed!!

How are you feeling hun? Any pregnancy symptoms?

 

[Renaendel]

So much excitement.

Boopin, best of luck that this donor is the one!

Ttc, how is the prep treating you?

I just increased to two Estrace a day and woah, what a headache literally. I get my levels checked tomorrow and that starts the tww to my transfer. 14 days away, can't believe it. Not feeling like it will be successful but who knows I guess stranger things have happened.

 

[Wish2BMom]

wow so much happened over the weekend!!

congrats on the strong beta, sunshine!!

congrats on the 2 lines, cowgirl!! can't wait to see that beta!

boopin - glad you found another donor! FX'ed she makes the mark!

em - awww, a boy! hooray!

ttc - how did the lining check go?

I hope I get to join in on this BFP windfall - I start my Lupron microdose injections on Wed, Gonal-F on Saturday. Day 4 check will be next week, hopefully my follicles play along correctly this time.

 

[1babydreamer]

So much great news on here ladies!! Congrats to the newly pregnant mamas and the I hope everyone else is doing great!

AFM, just finishing up my first trimester and I'm finally starting to feel a bit better. My toddler has been waking a lot at night to nurse and waking up super early, by 5am, so this mama is tired!! I will try to get caught up here but I'm so happy for you all!

 

[Wish2BMom]

ren - we are going to be right around each other!! I hope everything works out the way it should for us each. IVF HIGH FIVE!

It is having its ups and downs but thanks for asking, I will update below....
Dont worry about your PMA I am not having any either and I think it might be the drugs which are making us feel so negative. At least that is what I am trying to convince myself.

wow

Congrats on the graduation! That is awesome!!!


AFM - lining was nice at 9 mm but my E2 was only 209. They wanted to see it at least above 250. So I am trying not to freak out. Today I added another vivelle patch (Per the RE instructions). I will go and have another blood draw on Wednesday and hope that it is where they want it to be.

Of course, I am googling away and I cant seem to find anything that will explain why my lining is good but my e2 is low. Any advice?
