Sunshine, second tri for you too! Oh yay!

The Feb 4th appointment is with Dr. Palter of Gold Coast IVF. I'm also scheduled to see Dr. Tortoreillo of SIRM on Feb 18th.

Haven't decided who I'm going to go with yet, will keep both the consultations for sure.

The recommended protocol, test outcomes, and convenience (for daily monitoring) will be factors to consider before deciding who wins. Both are in-network with our Insurance, so that's not a factor to worry about.

Enjoy your vacation hon! I hope you're going someplace warm! Brrrr its cold out here! :cold::cold::cold:

Plex, I'm rooting for you hon. Stay with the PMA! :flower:

PostalMom, wow its trigger time already! Your numbers sound promising... Goodluck with the ER! :thumbup:
 
Just check in after quite a while...
Plex, congratulations on being PUPO!
Megan, thinking of you … and excited for you on your upcoming consultation!
Flagirl, yay for 2nd tri!!! time flies and babies grow!
Sunshine, enjoy your time!

I am onto my "natural" (with tamoxifen and estrogen support) FET cycle now, D3 today. My first scan is scheduled on Day12 (4th Feb). Estimated embryo transfer 11th Feb!
 
Hey ladies!

Things move so quickly around here so I do a lot of lurking... :haha:

I'm not doing another IVF round anytime soon but I am doing IUIs. I know they are very different but I hope you don't mind me still lurking.

Actually tbh my IUI (#4) this cycle isn't much different from IVF as far as meds go. 2 injections a day of 150 units of Gonal-RFF and 75units of Menopur each injection. The only thing different is no micro-dose lupron and obviously no retrieval. I'm anxious to see how I respond because that is a lot of meds, I swear the only reason I ended up with so few eggs during my IVF is because of the BCP and the Lupron. We shall see.

So excited to see all these BFPs that are coming in the next few weeks!!!

I wanted to add:
I am doing IUIs right now because they are fully covered (beside sperm wash) and since my lap looked okay I figured why not right?!
 
ababy4us-- I'm doing IUI also. My meds were 75units Bravelle, 75 units of Menopur, and 5 of Lupron. We just did our first IUI with injectables last wednesday. Before that we had done clomid cycles with IUI.
 
Hello ladies,

I may be waaay too late to join here (I see you've been going since Aug '13), but I could use a bit of support during my FET this month :) It will be my second ET after my first IVF cycle. I'm feeling pretty down and pessimistic about the whole thing and I hope that your positive experiences and your collective strength will help lift up my spirits :) I look forward to getting to know your stories as I make my way through your older posts :)

Hi ! Welcome!! Everyone on here is so nice and supportive, I hope you feel like I do about the ladies. Good luck with yours! We all know how important it is to have someone who knows what your taking about and understands.

Afm, I just came from my appointment. I have 5 follicles ready right now and 7 more that should be ready. I hold on my hand the magic trigger shot!!! Woohooo:yipee: I can't wait for them to call to tell me what time to take it. Now for being my lady day of injections, I was told not to let them draw blood from my left arm so it could be saved for the anesthesiologist. BUT after 4 horrible tries digging around. . 2 on my hand, 1 wist and 1 on the extreme inside of my elbow, they gave up and used my left. So 5 sticks to draw my blood. Oh it hurts. I just kept saying, it must be done. Is almost over.
 
PostalMom-- Good Luck! So sorry they had such a tough time finding a vein. I had a lady poking the needle around in my arm and she told me I have scar tissue in there, but whenever I let them take blood from my my other arm they bruise the hell out of me.
 
Plex- Congrats on being PUPO! Super excited for you! :happydance:

Katie- All I've had this FET cycle have been estrogen pills and (starting today) progesterone suppositories.

PostalMom- Congrats on getting to trigger! Though, I'm real sorry you had to get stuck so many times. NO FUN. I'll have my ET on Friday, so we're synced up for the tww. :happydance:

mizuno- Welcome hun. :flow: Good luck with your FET. When is your transfer going to be?

AFM: DH and I started our plane trek Saturday early afternoon (US east coast time) and arrived in Prague shortly before noon yesterday (Sunday). Not a bad set of flights. My estrogen tabs make me so sleepy that I slept through the entire transatlantic and most of the other two flights. Yay! Today went in for my CD 11 scan. RE wanted to see my lining at a minimum of 8mm- and it was 10.5mm!!! Woohoo! So I started on progesterone suppositories this afternoon. Our transfer is now officially scheduled for Friday. They're saying around 11a right now, but we'll get a specific time update after they've thawed out our two little snow babies Friday morning.

In the mean time, DH is to take in a "sample" tomorrow for freezing. If this transfer doesn't work, I'll be heading back out to Prague by myself in a couple weeks for a fresh cycle since we're (most likely) not going to be able to afford another plane ticket for DH. I'm not sure how I feel about being alone in Prague for a month, but I'll make do if that is what ends up happening.
 
PostalMom and Plex, wish you guys were in front of me so I can I can give you guys a hug, then a knock on the head! Please stay positive, even when things look bad. I was always that glass is half empty kind of gal, in the end it just caused me a lot of unnecessary pain during this process. Expect the worst but hope for the best ladies, that what I will be doing for you guys! :dust::dust::dust:

mizuno, Good luck and welcome! I love the ladies here, I don't know how I could have gotten through without the support here.

Megan, quite the opposite, we are going to the slopes haha! I'm sick of the weird warm winter we're getting here. I don't like living in the cold but love going to vacation in it. I started reading Wolf of Wall Street, apparently Gold Coast is where all the uber rich ppl live. The service has GOT to be impeccable there if they're dealing with these rich bitchy wives of billionaires.
 
PostalMom - that's so exciting that you will get to trigger soon! Good luck and I hope the other 7 eggs are ready by the time ET comes around :)

bunny - Good luck with your ET! And try to enjoy Prague while you're there :) I am just starting my FET cycle, so if all looks good tomorrow for my D3 bloods, I will be starting estrogen in a few days. I am hoping for a transfer in about 2 weeks.

sunshine - i see you are already 14 weeks along - congrats! I am sure everyone one here is very supportive - I've been on several of these threads in the past (for my IVF and other FETs) and they are the only thing that got me through the process!

Hey my transfer will be the 11th as well....my transfer is very medicated though!
 
Luciola how many blasts you planning to transfer on 11th? FET, wow, not very far too!

ababy4us you could be right, the Lupron shuts down the system so completely... Two months after my Lupron regulated FET and my body is still not fully normal. I think you are right in the Lupron being the cause of lesser eggs, and I hope your natural cycle fares well!

I agree with you about the IUIs too. If we exhaust all our covered IVF cycles without success, all we will be able to do is IUI, since we can't afford to go on a cash cycle on our own. Its something, and a may just be the slight nudge the body needs to conceive? I'm praying for you dear.

mizuno welcome to the forum! Its great to have one more wonderful mommy-to-be amongst us.

PostalMom I hope the remaining 7 catch up! It will be great to have 12 good eggs to work with. And I'm really sorry about the painful blood drawing. I struggle with that every time, even during regular monitoring cos I have really tiny veins, and especially early in the morning if I haven't hydrated myself enough or still hungry, 3-4 attempts is standard. I REALLY know how that feels, I hope it isn't hurting anymore?

And congratulations on the trigger! Its on!!

Sunshine OMG please be careful! You're one daredevil, I must say... :haha: The slopes when you're pregnant, lord have mercy, Lol.

I know what you mean though, in summer when it gets hot, winter doesn't seem all that bad; it's only when you're sitting in subzero temperatures for a few weeks and begin to have to live with it, that you start hating it.

I guess it would be nice on a temporary basis, lol. We got some chilly weather headed here again, hope its kind on you and the baby!

Lucinda, Oh wow, really? I'm going to consult in the city, cos that's closest to us. That office is pretty close to us, and it just might be the one we choose purely based on ease of commute.
 
Meagan, if it gets too cold just come visit me in sunny Florida! ! Lol. I believe we are going to see a couple more days in the 50's brrrr. Lol. I will say that while I was on the high doses of lupron, the cold fronts were very welcomed. This morning. .. I'm enjoying not having my morning injection. Yesterday my right ovary seemed to want to catch up with my left. Los of sharp sudden pains. Still have the list back pain and very very very sore nips. I also have had this weird stomach thing. It feels similar to when your belt his growling. The deep rolling discomfort you can get times 50 and elongated. And it doesn't matter how much i eat, i still feel hungry. Any ladies have advice for my egg retrieval? What's the deal with pineapple. Should I be eating that now?
 
I just found out my E2 from yesterday. .. Day of trigger was 2464. Yea!
 
I just couldn't resist. . Took an IC. Just to see if the trigger shot is working. Got a positive. Lmao!! So good to see a bfp. Even if it's not real. Lol. I just had to see it.
 
PostalMom-- Lol I've been doing the same thing. I tested Friday and this morning after triggering last Tuesday. I figure by this Friday it will be out of my system.
 
PostalMom- I have no idea how pineapple is supposed to help with implantation, but I ate a ton of it during my fresh cycle and started eating it again last night in preparation for Friday's transfer. Anything that might possibly help.
