Have you made an appointment with a regular OB yet? I'm kind of waiting until I've "graduated" from the FS, but then again I don't want them to be all booked up!

Not yet. I'm waiting until my appointment on Friday when I'm hoping my doctor can confirm when my due date might be. My RE's office suggested that I was 4 weeks at the time of my first beta, but that was a couple of days before the online calculators show -- 2 days is not a lot, but I'm a "need to know" type. LOL. I did contact my regular OBGYN about my flu shot and already got that through her office. I plan to schedule my first visit with her once I figure out when that should happen (I'm guessing 12 weeks??). My RE "graduates" her patients at 10 weeks.

Good Morning Ladies,

I am fairly new here. (Another silent stalker!) Congratulations to all the BFP's!!! And good luck to all of those waiting to test.

My DH and I have unexplained infertility. We have been trying since August of 2011. I had my first IVF cycle this month and today am 9dp5dt. I am scheduled for my beta tomorrow but I could not wait and did my first hpt for this cycle this morning and it was a very clear BFP on first response and a light BFP on a dollar store test. Can I feel confident with this?? My trigger should be out by now right? Tomorrow just seems so far away...

I think the trigger is probably out of your system by now. Congrats!!! Good luck with your betas!!

Well ladies they said I will trigger tomorrow with ER on Friday! I only have 6 follicles ready but a few more that are really close.... But it only takes one right

Awesome about ER on Friday! I was a low follicle producer for both of my IVF cycles (5 mature eggs the first time, 6 the second time). You only need one, and I'm keeping everything crossed for you!!

Hi Plex -- so good to see you. I'm glad that you're able to start again soon. for many eggs for yourself to keep.

My number came back at 816! That's a doubling time of 34 hours. I hope that's ok. Now I'm counting down the hours until my us Thursday at 1! I'm praying for a amazing treat this Halloween!

That's wonderful news, Lucie!! My doubling time between my betas was about 35 hours. That's now 3 ladies here with an US on Thursday. I'm right behind you guys with mine on Friday. I'm praying that everything is progressing smoothly for everyone.

Plex thats great news... Rest up and December will be here before you know it!

Lucie wow!!! Thats a great number, and I'm sure you're going to have a great Halloween... Good luck with the Ultrasound!

AFM - I have a dentist appointment tomorrow... all these IVF / FET meds affect my teeth the worst, and I'm set for a deep cleaning tomorrow and next week... hopefully that will hold the tooth problems at bay...

I also feel some uterine cramping today... I wonder if that could be the Delestrogen shot we started last night? Next Delestrogen injection is Thursday, but with an increased dosage; Monday was 0.2 cc and Thursday is 0.4 cc

Chickadee- Thanks for asking. I'm feeling less bloated, but tired. I went for a sono today. Turn out today I found out the original big follies are cysts. I have a cyst on each ovary. The doctor saw it at baseline and didn't say it was a cyst. He thought it was a remnant, but today said it was a cyst. Has anyone had an experience with cysts. Well they called me back and I'm stimming till my next sono Friday. I have 3 follies on my right at 12.5, 9.5 and 9. I have others that aren't at 9 yet... so we shall see. My expected er date is Monday.

Lucie- That is great news.

Disneyfan- How are you feeling?

Adroplet- Awesome!!!!!!So excited for you praying for your BFP

AFM- I started stimming. I have a sono tomorrow. I'm praying for my follies to catch up to my 2 bigger follies.

FET done!
It went smooth and now I'm on bedrest for 48 hrs. This is exciting!
and for you viewing pleasure, here are some pics...

Samsfan - how are you feeling this go around? What day Stims are you on?? Do you have an estimate for ER?

 

[Samsfan]

Awesome Plex! wishing you the best of luck. Fixed! for next cycle.

Megan - I'm not familiar with Delestrogen, but I hope the cramping goes away soon.

Samsfan - I'm feeling good. Thanks for asking! I'm currently tired (make that exhausted) and am looking forward to DH making dinner while I stay on the couch. I feel twinges in my uterus and am trying to not get paranoid if I feel them more on one side than the other. I feel minor queasiness right now, but I wouldn't necessary call it morning sickness yet. I don't think so anyway...

I had two "good sized" cysts identified at my baseline scan before my FET cycle. I didn't do anything to treat them (my doctor said that they wouldn't affect my transfer), but they were gone by the time I went in for my lining check. Did your doctor indicate if they need to keep an eye on yours?

I'm keeping you in my prayers. It sounds like your follicles are progressing well. There's still plenty of time for the other ones to catch up. I'm sending lots of your way!

 

[Samsfan]

Disneyfan- Sounds like heaven (DH making dinner)
Doc said that the cysts are not of his concern right now. Idk what that meant. I am concerned though because I understand that ivf drugs can make them grow. Thanks for the babydust. We shall see Friday. Ive been doing a lot of napping and just eating well and acupuncture. Lots of things to keep me calm.

You're doing all the right things. Eat lots of protein, green vegetables, and warm liquids. My acupuncturist says it's important to keep the uterus warm, so he also recommends that you keep your feet covered (wear socks) and not eat or drink anything colder than room temperature.

I just failed 3rd natural cycle IVF.
Last month we transfered 8A cell perfect embryo and this month 4A cell perfect embryo. They didn't even try to stick
The blood tests were BFN. No signs of implantation. Nothing. I felt empty this morning, I came to the clinic for my blood tests with eyes full of tears.
My hubby made me cry.
He told me maybe it is not the right time.
He told me maybe we not meant to have children. Maybe our purpose of life is a different one.
Childless couples we know 3 of them, they are happy.
He would adopt but now I don't want to think about it. We have time for that.

My life without a child, I see no purpose. It is unconditional love and I need that maddly!!! It is a magical experience. It is a different love than my relatives or my hubby.
We do live in stressful household and I do agree that stress can cause our infertility.
I think infertility is a disease and we have pills for that!
Animals don't suffer infertility only we humans. Except My dog, she never had puppies because she didn't let any of the dogs close to her.
I think we all gonna have children in one time of our lives, it is just the matter of when. When the right moment comes.

1.I. am seeing my RE on the 8th of November.

2. I am doing my thrombofilia genetic testing this week. It cost around 200euro. This gene is common with a women with unexplain infertility.

3. Also I want to test my hubbies sperm(genetics), he is 50y/o, maybe we'll pick the healthiest one and do ICSI.

4. Adding hormones to my IVF doesn't make sense. If my uterus doesn't take one, it won't take 2 or 3 embryos.

5. Also I want to talk about assisting hatching. In the lab dr. grows embryos for 5 days and than dr. make a whole in it. That suppose to help embryo leave the shell. Maybe this is our problem too.

6. I was a child when Chernobyl radiactive atom factory exploded. Children are the most vulnerable. The cloud did go by Lithuania. And we love mushrooms!!! Many people are diagnosed with cancer in Lithuania and my age girls suffer with thyroid problems. If my eggs are damaged somehow, I am in the deep problem. I can test them, if I have only one why should I test. Just wait for a healthy egg to pop!
If I do medicated IVF, I have a reason to test and pick a healthiest one.
I was Exposed to Radiation and I have a risk to develop cancer later on in life. Hormonal treatment, high levels of estrogen can only turn on my cancer cells to thrive!

Dovkav123 - I'm so sorry to hear that your cycle failed. I wish you the best on your continued journey to motherhood. Hopefully your doctor will be able to guide you towards a new plan at your meeting on the 8th.

 

[Breezie613]

Dovkav - I am so sorry for your bad news. Just hang in there. It looks like you have a lot of ideas of things that you can try. Good luck at your appointment!

 

[Breezie613]

My nurse just called back with my first Beta results: 103
I test again Friday and Sunday.

 

[Chickadeedee]

Breezie - that is a terrific first beta!!!! Congrats!

 

[Katielbkr]

CONGRATS BREEZIE!!!!


So my ER is definitely Friday.. Got all of my instructions this morning. I have to say I am extremely nervous. I think I am worried about being put to sleep.

 

[MeganScott]

Dovkav I'm sorry to hear about the failed IVF. I've been through two IVF failures myself, and I know how hard it is to deal with. Hang in there, you have a lot of ideas on what to do ahead, and I wish you good luck with your journey to motherhood.

Breezie that's a great first Beta! So its a BFP! Congratulations!

Katie you should be fine, being put to sleep is not a biggie... Good luck with procedure and hope you get a good number of eggs retrieved. Some of the other ladies on the forum have posted some very useful tips on post-ER recovery, and you might want to look at those...

 

[Katielbkr]

Megan where can I find those tips?
