IVF February/March 2012

[michelle01]

Thanks Marie; me too as I am a little nervous, but I feel like crap, so I am taking that as a good sign. The dizziness is just overwhelming for me this time around and the nausea started in today.

Marie - remember, it only takes 1!! And that report sounds really good; fingers crossed for your embies to continue progressing and GL on Friday!!!

 

[babydrms]

Marie - 13 sounds great!

Michelle - glad your numbers went up, they did almost double...

Lucie - sorry that sucks, but there is a chance!

mmleo - You have good sef ocntrol to not test this long. Where and when do you have to go for your OTD?

Seoul - staring at the ceiling dose sound rough.

Hockey - good luck witht the beta.

AFM - today is my first day back at work in 1.5 weeks...sooooo tired. The progesterone is just killer.

 

[marie44]

Yes Michelle...feeling like crap is a great sign for pregnancy! Nausea and dizziness (as much as they suck) are great indicators that your body is getting ready for a LO. I know you are excited but still really nervous as it does not feel real yet...but it is

Hey ladies

Just wanted to let you know I got my BFP today. I truly believe it was my positive thinking that made it work!

Good luck girls!

Baby dust to all

[michelle01]

Congrats Pink!!! That is really great news!!!

 

[marie44]

Congrats Pink on your BFP!! You have had a great PMA this whole time. It really does make a difference I think. Did you get your results from beta or POAS?

 

[hockey24]

Congrats Pink Gerber!! Fantastic news!!!

Congrats Pink on your BFP!! You have had a great PMA this whole time. It really does make a difference I think. Did you get your results from beta or POAS?

[Seoul]

hockey- Did you continue spotting? I have been spotting the past couple of days but I guess if it isn't full flow we can and should keep being hopeful! What kind of progesterone are you on I am on the gel and that is what is coming out with blood other than that nothing.

Michelle- So happy for you its great that beta keeps going up!! I am sure it will continue rising Your message about spotting 9dp5dt really made me feel better and even more now that those betas are looking good

Mmleo- Keep up hope your symptoms look good and I think you definitely tested too early so stay positive! I am glad I read your message before I went to bed last night I held out and didn't test. Really want to tomorrow which will be 8dp5dt but then I think I've waited this long whats 2 more days going to do. My beta is on Monday and since DH goes out of town Sunday afternoon he wants me to test Saturday or Sunday so he can celebrate with me he said! so sweet to still be optimistic that one! We are only 2 days apart with our transfers I hope we both get our BFP around the same time!!

Pink- Congratulations!! your positive thinking is inspiring! Really helped me change my attitude today.

Marie- Good Luck on your transfer hope they are nice and sticky!!

 

[michelle01]

I seemed to have caught the stomach flu It started yesterday and only got worse; any movement I made I would get sick. I am so worried because I haven't been able to eat anything since yesterday early afternoon. I have been trying to sip on plain water so I don't get dehydrated. I have my 3rd beta tomorrow morning and I just hope and pray that number goes up; feeling kind of nervous that its so low, but trying to stay positive.

 

[marie44]

Michelle - What a horrible time for the stomach flu I think drinking a lot of water is a good idea so you don't get dehydrated. Are you sure it is the flu and not pg related?

Mmleo - Sounds like good pg symptoms!

Seoul - Maybe you should wait to test with dh there. It sounds really important that he be there for the moment. I love his optimism. My dh thinks I am pg every month (which is 31 of them now) which is really sweet and helps me to find hope.

AFM - I just sent my dr a long e-mail bc I have so many questions. I think they are supposed to transfer 3 embies if they are not blasts, but 2 if they are blasts. They seem so convinced I will be a Day 3 transfer but how do they know that on Day 1? I wanted to know if they would be trying assisted hatching. I don't know if these are questions for him or the embryologist but I need to know what's going on!!

 

[michelle01]

Marie - I would email them and ask the questions; that is what they are there for! If it is not for them to answer, they can certainly find out.

I am sure its the stomach flu; my stomach feels like someone took a bat to it and I am OK if I do not move around. My sitter and her husband had this, along with my mom, so I am sure I caught it from one of them.

 

[Mmleo]

Hello ladies.How is everyone doing?
I like ur post marie,i can just picture me asking my DH the same questions lol...
sorry michelle,i hope u get better.try that salt n sugar mixture,it is good cure for dehydration
AFM-u know the tired achey feeling u get when u havnt slept well or slept in a really bad position,that's how i feel tday,on top of that only one bb is tender and a headache...

 

[Goldy]

Congrats Pink !! Excited for you.

Michelle hope u feel better.

Happy testing and plenty baby dust to beta results!

 

[kate32]

Congrats Pink

Feel better michelle, maybe try some ginger ale to settle your stomach. Good luck on your next beta.

Marie it only takes 1. Good luck.

mmleo those symptoms sound good, good luck on your beta.

Lucie don't give up hope.

I finally got my results back. I did my blood work yesterday but didn't get the results till today. BFP! HCG 221, progesterone 95. Hopefully it doubles tomorrow.

 

[sienna1]

Kate, that is fantastic! I'm so happy for you. Did you have symptoms along the way?

Lucie, do you have more news?

I've decided not to test at home before the beta. Have had too many BFNs in my life and don't ever want to see another one. Will wait until all my work is done on Tuesday then deal with the outcome.
