IVF/FET in Aug'13' - Aug'14' buddies wanted!!*13 BFP's!!**Updates on first page**

[Disneyfan88]

My ER went well -- we got 7 eggs this time, which is 2 more than my last retrieval. I still have to wait to see how many are mature, and I will get a call updating me with the number that fertilizes tomorrow morning. I'm praying for a great fertilization report!

Congrats to all ladies who recently went through ER or ET. Good luck to everyone!

Still praying for you, TeeinAZ!

My ER was great. I did not feel a thing, don't remember anything either. Afterward I was just really bloated and crampy. my Dr told me my estradiol levels were rather high on my last bloodwork pre ER and that I may develop OHSS after ER. He gave me meds for it and so far I feel a lot better than yesterday (having a BM helped so much). Sleeping was rough, I can only be on my back as shifting from side to side gave me unbearable internal pressure. and I was getting up to pee every 1 1/2 hr.

Do you know what your levels were and what meds you have been given?

Great number of eggs retrieved! Good luck with fertilisation

I just wanted to say I am PUPO . 9 of the 11 eggs fertilised , and they are all apparently very good 8 cell embies

Great news 9 fertilised is a very good number!

Are you not having a fresh transfer this cycle?

I wasn't given an actual number on levels but I was put on Dostinex since yesterday.

Well today was 3 dp5dt for me. The days are just draaaaaaagging along. Glad to finally be having some company in it! No symptoms for me yet. Been getting some bad dreams and feel like I'm coming down with a cold, but I think that's just from the progesterone and estrogen. I always get icky feeling on progesterone; I can't believe the estrogen is any better!

Confessional: I'm just so afraid that the pregnancy won't take that I'm having a hard time believing that pregnancy is even possible. It's making the TWW much harder than normal. After all the IF treatments, part of me just refuses to believe we may have a chance. Does anyone else feel like this? I felt so positive about everything up until transfer, but as soon as the transfer was done, the worry and disbelief set in hardcore. I know it's not possible, by I'm worried that just thinking I'm not pregnant could make things not work. Afraid that all this worrying is ruining my chances. I know it's not actually possible, but still, I can't shake the feeling.

Hang in there, buny. I went through the same thing in July. Continue taking it easy and try to keep your mind busy.

Bunyhuny, I became a PUPO yesterday, and believe me I have the same feeling you are going through. I suppose its a normal thing and by-product of all the we undergo while on treatment. I so much want this to work, but then there is only this many things you can do.

But just hang in there, and I am sure all will be fine for you and if you ever need to talk, we are always here. When is your beta test due? Are you both on estrogen and progesterone? Me only on progesterone cream. So strange that different places have different med requirement.....gggggggrrrrrrr

Hugs

Dear Ladies,

Me a PUPO now with one three day embryo transferred. Bizzibii, we became PUO the same day, how are you doing hun?

SUNSHINE -isn't that great ? we are exactly on the same schedule

I am feeling fine. My ET went well. I didn't have a day off in the end , because my ET was at 4pm and I work till 3 so I just took it easy , went home drank more water and cycled to the clinic. My hubby is away for work so I had few girlfriends over last night, we ate nachos and watched some tv.

How are you feeling ? I know its a strange questions, but can you feel your ovaries when you pee? I think my ones are still enlarged and its a weird feeling of pressure or something. Other than that I feel fine ( oh my boobs hurt ,).
How exciting

 

[bunyhuny]

Thanks, Sunshine. Congrats on being PUPO!

I too find the differing medication regimens odd. I wrote my doctor today to ask if I could come in for a blood draw to check my hormone levels. I am currently on 600mg of progesterone a day (200mg at breakfast, lunch, and dinner) and 6mg estrogen (also split between three doses). I am not sure if I really need this much. After a couple days on the hormones, I started getting frequent heart palpitations. I have had mild palpitations occasionally for much of my adult life, but never this frequently! Now, after over a week on the progesterone and estrogen, I am getting palpitations off and on all day every day, bad enough that I can't even sleep when they're happening! I told my doctor this in the e-mail I sent her and I hope she gets back to me soon, as I am getting really worried that I am on too high a dose. From what I have read, normal progesterone supplementation is 400mg? Not totally sure on that though. How much are you on?

My clinic doesn't have a standard beta test day. Normal protocol is to start doing hpts about 9dp5dt and call in as soon as we get a positive to schedule a beta. If the test is still negative, we would continue testing daily until 14dp5dt. If it's still negative at that point, we would call in to schedule a beta to confirm the negative so we can start our FET cycle.

[Hanawanabump]

Hello All,

Joined a few months ago,but thought Id wait till we were about to begin before I posted.
We had our drug appointment last week, and I tried my first injection with an empty needle, Glad I had a go as was building it up to be a lot worse in my head. Were now Just waiting for AF to arrive then got to ring The Hewitt Centre (LWH) to let them know CD1 so they can book me in for baseline scan and then can start stimming. AF is due around 8th september
Were having ICSI short Protocol

Me and Hubby are both 26, TTC for 5 years now. I have severe PCOS and hubby has slight motility issues, which is why were having ICSI.

Good Luck to Everyone

Hiya Becky, Im in LWH too, went for drug app yesterday, not too bad when you get a practice first, its a bit daunting when all those meds turn up!
Im 26, hubby 28, start down reg on sun and baseline scan is on 19th, so think we'll be around same time! Not long now!!! xxx

 

[nlk]

bunyhuny, you have a real shot at this! Remember you are PUPO right now. So just keep telling yourself you are already pregnant. And I am not trying to give you false hope but bad dreams and cold symptoms were my pregnancy symptoms when I got pregnant last year. Remember how far you have made it already and be proud of yourself. You are strong and you deserve this!
