IVF February/March 2012

[babydrms]

ODT is Wednesday, or I can wait until Thursday.

Seoul - that looks very promising. Good luck on Monday.

Michelle - looks like things are progressing well. My Dr. said progesterone levels can vary.

Babydrms - don't give up hope.

mmleo - hopefully the spotting goes away, stay positive. My first beta was on 9dp5dt & then 11dp5dt.

I got my 2nd beta results (11dp5dt) HCG increased to 507 & progesterone 125.
This is just starting to feel real, after so many BFN's in the past. I have been very tired & still having bloating, likely from my OHSS. I had stopped drinking the gatorade but I think I will start again. My other symptoms are mild nausea, breast tenderness, & very bad gas pains the last 2 days in the morning that wake me up from my sleep but after about 15 minutes go away.

I hope we see some more BFP's soon! Good luck to everyone who is still waiting for there beta.

babydrms-our betas r close,4-5 days will/can make a huge difference,dont give up yet.
I've just read somewhere that progesterone could delay AF,so i've decided monday morning i'll go for blood test and i think am ready for whatever happens now.i need to stop unnecessary medication,my face is full of spots n that's not me...

Lucie - Yea for june! My dr says the same thing about 3d vs 5d et that there is no difference in success rates but you'd think there would be?

Michelle - great beta, let us know what the dr says about the progesterone.

Seoule - Sounds like a bfp! Are you still on bedrest from ohss or are you just being extra cautious? I was told to continue all of my normal activities (except heavy lifting, aerobics, bd or hot baths). Every dr is different.

Babydrms - hang in there

Mmleo - I typed that e-mail to my doctor, not dh (i think it must have been a typo lol). I did ask dh all of those questions & he had no idea what i was talking about. He thought er and et happened on the same day and was confused why we were leaving the clinic so early after er! He is useless to talk to about this stuff bc he has no clue! I was told af would come normal time with prog.

AFM-had 2 embies transferred on d3 yesterday but they did AH before et. He called the grade ok but gave me no specific grade (8 & 7 cell). Probably no frosties but not confirmed yet.

 

[babydrms]

I did not get my period until two days after I stopped the progesterone...Then it was a rough one.

 

[Lucie73821]

BFN for me too. Ugh.

So, so sorry to hear this.

Babydrms - so sorry, but maybe too early to test, don't give up hope! My dr did not increase my progestrone since I am in the normal range. I am also having more symptoms...my boobs are so sore now and having nausea throughout the day. Guess I will see where my levels are at Thursday.

Kate - great level increase, when is your u/s?

Good luck to all those testing this week and for all the BFP so far!!!

 

[Seoul]

babydrms- I had a 5dt as well and I tested for the first time at 8dp5dt with a FRER and I can tell you there is no way anything would have shown up before 8dp5dt the line was sooooo light. Now at 10dp5dt the line is about the same color as the reference line so keep thinking positive!! I also read that the average day for getting a positive is 8 to 9 days pt. Good Luck!!!

marie44- It's kind of both the doctor had told me two days of strict bed rest but he also told me to take it real easy the next two weeks. I have had two m/c so they are being really careful with me.

So the line definitely is nice and dark now a lot more than yesterdays but the bleeding is worse I went out last night for dinner and this morning had bright red blood then I went to church this morning and I could just feel it at the church the funny thing though I wiped twice a lot of red blood and then nothing! and I have had barely anything since. So tomorrow first thing I go to the doctors and we will see what he says. I am really hoping it doesn't end up being a chemical or a m/c i guess I have to be thankful I got this far on the first IVF cycle.

Good Luck to all you other ladies waiting!

 

[Seoul]

Im afraid I now have cramping and bleeding I feel like crap! This seems so cruel to get a positive and then all this bleeding Unfortunately I don't see my Hcg levels rising for much longer! Why does this have to be so complicated :growl mad: Just needed to vent not even my DH is around to hear me out!

 

[Mmleo]

hi there.R u on progesterone?the reason am asking...i was given some injections(progesterone higher dose than suppositories) to give myself just in case i start bleeding before ODT.How long do u hve to wait to c ur doc?

 

[Seoul]

Im on the vaginal gel progesterone and they didn't give me shots I tried calling my doc saturday with no luck My appointment is tomorrow morning so hopefully that won't be too late.

 

[Mmleo]

seoul-am so sorry.,i really hope it wont be too late.How bad r the cramps?is the bleeding increasing?i really cant imagine what u r going thru

 

[Seoul]

Mmleo- Ive definitely had worst cramps thats for sure and the bleeding has not really increased it is weird because It is inconsistent I have a decent amount and then nothing for a few hours then a good amount again. Still not really getting much on a pad just when I go to the restroom and wipe which lately seems like it is every 5 minutes. Also the cramps come and go I will be fine for an hour and then ill have ten minutes where I feel like period cramps. I know my sister had bad cramps through her first trimester but she didn't really bleed so I don't know I guess everyone is different! And I am more prone to freaking out because of my previous two m/c's.

 

[Mmleo]

so sorry..i hope the day goes faster then..n dont leave until the doc gives u something for it.Did u manage to talk to DH?

 

[Mmleo]

how r things going seoul??better i really hope..

I've had some cramping but I've read that's normal, have you guys had any?

My boobs are def sore now but mostly I'm getting very bad wind! Nice!! Sometimes it's painful trapped wind

Hope you're ok?

Can't wait for more BFPs

Xxx

Seoul, hope you get good news tomorrow.

Babydrms, Lucie, and Hockey, how are you doing? Hope you are dealing with the good things in your life and regrouping.

I'm 7dp5dt and haven't tested but becoming very antsy. I want to know!!! Today cramps have gotten stronger, but it could be AF on its way. I think I'm a stronger person for having gone through this crazy process.

 

[Seoul]

Just got back from the doctors he said he hasn't lost hope and gave me a progesterone shot that hurt like hell. I am supposed to have another one tomorrow but my DH isn't here to help me and I can't inject my butt by myself so I have to go back in tomorrow He says its not completely unusual when your on IVF to even have almost a period like flow sometimes he says the progesterone should help stop the bleeding so that we can see if the embryo is developing and not risk the uterine lining thinning. So I am still waiting and hoping. Bleeding was a lot more intense this morning so now I just wait for beta levels to come in a couple of hours and we will see. I feel terrible saying it but at this point I am not even upset about loosing the pregnancy I am just tired and sick of the whole process I am so exhausted physically and mentally! Anyway hope all you other ladies are having better days I will keep praying for you all!
