IVF February/March 2012

[Seoul]

Sienna1- Congrats on your BFP!

Good Luck to all the ladies still waiting!

AFM I am waiting for the dreaded call from my doc. I had to go in today because I was bleeding and cramping pretty badly up till now it was either bleeding or just cramping but not both really but today after my progesterone shot I started gushing and the cramping came right after So now I just wait to see what my beta comes in at but with all the bleeding and cramping I am no longer too hopeful. I don't understand how all my tests come back clear but I keep having m/c's it is so frustrating! DH is out of town and it seems like I am completely alone with everything. Sorry just had to vent I will update once I hear from my doc.

 

[sienna1]

Seoul, this must be so hard on you. All of this is very isolating. We're here for you to vent, let us know how it goes. At least you can try again with the frosties. Take care.

 

[Seoul]

So confused but excited I guess. My beta today was 289 so it more than doubled in 48 hours. I don't understand the bleeding and cramping! I will continue praying and hoping! I've read about cases where women bleed and cramp and everything is fine but its hard to believe when it is happening to you! Thanks for all of you that have me in your thoughts and prayers.

Congrats Sienna; that is great news! How many DPT were you with your beta?

Seoul - that beta looks good; fingers crossed for you

I have my ultrasound tomorrow; nervous and excited! Just want to see something to reassure me all is good. Starting out with lower beta numbers I have been more nervous.

sienna-Congrats!!How nice to hve more BFP's!Stay blessed and enjoy it.

michelle-GL tmoro,am sure everything is fine,let us know how it goes

seoul-i think it good news that hcg is increasing,it shows that regardless of whats going on the lito one's is/are stronger.Things will be fine.

AFM-AF showed up tday..n am relieved in a way..am not sure i can handle anymore of 2ww..unless i ignore all the NO SWIMMING,NO DRIVING,NO WORK OUT...this 2ww was the worst..maybe coz it was my 1st ivf...i hope

babydrms-how r things going?did u test again or waiting for ur beta?

marie-good luck n pliz keep busy somehow..2ww is a killer

lucie-r u ok?

 

[marie44]

Mmleo - Glad AF showed up & you can try again. Why "No Driving"? I never heard of that. I guess every dr has different orders.
I am staying very busy during the 2WW. It's probably the best thing fior me since I tend to worry if I have downtime.

I am testing Tuesday 3/27 (in 6 days!). I just got a call from the nurse about my bw yesterday & my projesterone level is 23 which she said is good & I need to continue the PIO injections at the same dose. I don't think I can even POAS anyway since my DTP is 6 days before AF is to come anyway. How are you holding up?

 

[pinkgirl713]

Ladies im so so sorry, i wish there was something i could say or do to take your pain away i know how devastating it is.

 

[sienna1]

Michelle, yay for the ultrasound tomorrow. How many weeks are you now?

My beta of 77 was on 14dpo, trying not to worry and just see how it goes tomorrow at the follow-up blood test.

 

[sienna1]

Marie, next Tuesday will get here. I also had my test on a Tuesday and the last 2 days were the hardest. My "symptoms" were also ones that are caused by progesterone and estrogen, so I had a hard time telling what was real and what was because of the drugs.

 

[sienna1]

Mmleo, you seem to be handling this as well as can be expected. Before I knew what the outcome was I just wanted to be put out of my misery. It felt like my IVF cycle lasted 3 months, since I started bcp since New Year's Eve. I was just ready to know and move on with life. Take care of yourself!

 

[marie44]

Sienna - You must still be in shock! Beta #'s sound good!
I really have no symptoms, i feel better than ever which is strange, my progesterone symptoms have vanished, i'm trying not to obsess & just be positive

 

[Pink gerbera]

Oooh Michelle looking forward to your u/s news xx

 

[michelle01]

Sienna - Thanks; I am nervous, excited and anxious today, my appt is in about 2 1/2 hours from now. I think I am 6 weeks today. My first beta was 60 and that was at 18dpo and I was worried, but my numbers were doubling, so that is all they cared about and didn't seem worried. Your number is great!!! With my last pregnancy at this time I had so much nausea it was awful, and this time around I barely have any. I hope it stays that way! I keep pushing on my boobs to make sure they still hurt it just doesn't seem real yet to me. I am sure after todays appt it will become very real; I just hope to see something! Good luck with your next appt and hope your numbers continue to increase!!!

Mmleo - to you...and you have a very positive attitude; that is great thing going forward. I am sure your next cycle will be your time!

 

[kate32]

Sienna: Congratulations!
Seoul: glad your numbers keep going up. Hope you're doing ok.
Michelle: good luck on your u/s.

 

[pinkgirl713]

So today is 6dp5dt and I went in for my beta 3 days early because I got a definitely positive right away on a FRER. My beta today is 42. I balled my eyes out when I saw the 2nd line yesterday and called DH to come look at it too. I guess for us third cycle is a charm.

I'm so sad to see BFN's and i feel awful it wasnt better news. I'm so sorry. My heart breaks for you and I know all to well how painful it is seeing that after all the constant Dr appts and procedures. I'll be praying for all of you to get pregnant soon.

 

[michelle01]

That is great pinkgirl; CONGRATS!!!

I went for my u/s; all we could see was a teenie tiny black dot in my uterus! She said it could still be too early and my hcg could still be too low. She did say she saw 1, so I was estatic to hear that and got to see him/her. I will get my hcg results tomorrow and find out when I have to make my u/s appointment for next week.

 

[Mmleo]

Congrats pinkgirl..happy 9months!
