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

[Serenyx]

My meds arrived this morning!! Sorted through it all and have only 4 northisterone tabs left to take then wait for af to show up

Great news Plex! Hopefully you will be starting soon then

Looks like we lost two out of our 6 embryos from our fresh cycle, but it sounds like our two frozen embryos survived the thaw/biopsy/freeze. We have 6 embryos waiting for us on ice while we wait for the PGS results for all of them. I think we get those next week. I'm praying that most if not all of them are normal. I really want more than one child without doing all of this again.

6 is still a good number to survive to freezing! I hope the PGS results come back as normal on as many of he embryos as possible

BFN for me :/

So sorry to hear his Lucinda What dpt are you now? Is there any chance you tested too early?

Prayerful. I had 4 fertilise, we just did standard ivf so that's 65% fert rate which is pretty average.

Waiting to hear today how they're getting on and if we are having 3dt today or a 5dt on Monday.

I've been up since 5am as can't sleep!!

4/6 fertilised is a good number Fingers crossed they all make it x

 

[Serenyx]

Beta today was only 22, so we're losing this one. Going to see my doctor on Monday. This is really, really hard.

So sorry Buny it is still showing a slow rise so you may not be completely out yet.

Serenyx - Sorry to hear about the Ohss - how are you feeling now hun?

A little bit better now thanks I have been scanned every two days and at one point on Thursday they were thinking I might have to go to hospital on a drip because I couldn't keep anything down, but thankfully that subsided. I have been signed off work until Monday when I have another scan and they will make the decision then. My Weds scan was worse than Monday but my scan yesterday showed that my ovaries are slowly starting to go down although i do still have quite a lot of free fluid. I have pretty much just been in bed!

Serenyx - Sorry about your cancelled cycle. I'm glad you at least have some frosties though.

Thanks the embryologist called Thursday with an update and they managed to also freeze two others These other two weren't good quality but were just about ok to freeze. I asked about the grading and the 2 good ones we have are 5AA and 4BB, the other two that made it to blast stage are 5CB- and 4CB-. They aren't sure if those will survive the freezing process but they will try

AFM - My u/s went great today! I have 10 on the right and 11 on the left. And my estradiol was 36.3, so I am actually fully suppressed!! (Last cycle they couldn't get my estradiol below 60-something.) I get to start stims tomorrow!

Great news!! Good luck with the stimming

Glad to hear ur a bit better, its good that ur not having to go into work feeling so rough - scary stuff though. Have they talked yet about when to do ur fet? Im wishing u a speedy recovery xx

Ive now only got one northisterone tablet to take tonight then wait it out for af - hopefully be starting dr injections on tue!! xx

No they haven't really discussed our FET yet. I have an appt. with the consultant in a week or two so I guess we will discuss how we proceed then.

Hope AF comes round fast for you (that sounds odd!! hoping that AF actually comes - most of the time on here we are all hoping it stays away ).

 

[sunshine1217]

Sorry to hear Buny!

Are you guys eating pineapple cores? I ate like 4 of them when I did IVF and plan to with the FET as well. I'm not sure if it does anything but since I got one last time, I want to do it again this time.

My FET is Thursday so T-5....I start doing progesterone today. So my hubby's like how long will you be doing progesterone? I said, hopefully a while b/c that would mean I'm preggers. His response was, "Can we have before you put it in?" LOL...

 

[Plex]

Serenyx& sunshine1217 - u both made me

Serenyx - Hope this next couple of weeks flies by for you xx

Sunshine1217 - Im not keen on pineapple, but i have heard its good to take during ivf. Good luck for Thursday!! xx

 

[Hennapop]

Buny - still sending good thoughs your way.
Lucinda - hugs
Plex - good luck w meds

We had EC yesterday - 9 retrieved. 7 were mature and were fertilized then frozen.

Now, recovering. Very sore yesterday, slept all day, light dinner and just taking it easy today. Still taking Tylenol w codine. Took brief ride in car to go to gluten free bakery - I felt every bump!! I'm staying on the sofa the rest of the day.

Sent DH to market for coconut water Gatorade stool softener & prune juice. Romantic huh??

 

[Disneyfan88]

Disney - Good luck with the PGS. I am very interested to hear the results. Praying it all goes well for you.

Thanks! I'll keep you posted here.

Your antral follicle count is great! Congrats on starting stims today! Good luck!!

LOL -- my husband said the same thing to me when discussing when I start my progesterone again. Good luck on Thursday!!

I've been up since 5am as can't sleep!!

That's a great fert rate. I'd be on pins and needles with anticipation too if I were in your shoes. Hopefully you find out soon (maybe you already have though)!

A little bit better now thanks I have been scanned every two days and at one point on Thursday they were thinking I might have to go to hospital on a drip because I couldn't keep anything down, but thankfully that subsided.

Glad you are slowly starting to feel better. Yay for 2 extra frosties! Even if they don't make it, it is worth a try. And at least you still have the 2 other good ones.



Hope AF arrives soon Plex!

Haha! Thanks for the laugh! Congrats on the great EC!



AFM - I started my stims today. Everything went great! I am so excited!!

 

[bizzibii]

Serenyx - I am glad you feeling better

As for the rest of you ladies, good luck with your cycles.

I guess it's a for me, I am 10dp3dt and my tests are still negative , I am using FRER so the second line should pop up by now. My clinic doesn't do BETA . They only ask you to come in for US at 6W if your home pregnancy test is positive. I guess I will just wait till 16dpER and do the final test - if negative stop the progesterone , wait for the af and start the FET. I have promised myself I will not start testing early next time. It absolutely killed me, I have been at home for 3 days in my pyjamas crying my eyes out .

Sunshine 8 - How are you my cycle buddy? hope you got lots of 's

 

[sunshine8]

Hello Bizzbii, nice to see your post hun. I have been testing since thrusday and all 4 days I have had a faint faint line, which shows up after 10 min (so not within the time range prescribed in the test). This morning, also it was very faint line, just like a trace, and I am wondering if it is an evaporation line. I take progesterone suppositories, so my urine has lot of residual progesterone oil....perhaps the faint line I see is the progesterone oil drying.
I am using wondfo.

My clinic also does no beta, they asked us to take a hpt and call them up with the result on 17 sep.

I read on the net that some women show positive late, I hope that is the case for you buddy, especially if it is a boy, the hcg rise slowly.

I am feeling very down too.

 

[bizzibii]

OH sunshine I do hope that is the case and we do get our 's but personally I don't think this month is THE MONTH for me anyway. When I had my natural miracle back in 2011 I didn't show positive on hpt until I was 10 late , but the moment I saw it I knew something was not right... it's weird and as I later found out the baby stopped growing at 5w5d which is when I did the test. My point is I think even If I do show the positive in few days I don't think it will stay positive for too long because I have that gut feeling again .

Maybe you should try a different test ? That is what I am going to do in few days time.

 

[bunyhuny]

bizzibii-

sunshine8- Sounds like the beginnings of a bfp to me. Only hCG can cause the color change of a line. DH went crazy researching hpt's when we got our super faint line and he told me: There is a protein on the test strip that bonds with hcg, and that makes the pink dye. No other hormone can bond with that protein. If there is pink, it is positive.

*UPDATE*

Well ladies- things are still totally up in the air. When we called in for our result this past Friday, the nurse said that going from 16 to only 22 meant the pregnancy was not viable and to see the doctor on Monday. So I e-mailed our doctor to schedule, and she said that, no, she wants another beta done on Monday and that we'll see her on Tuesday. VERY confusing because the nurse said we wouldn't be getting another beta.

Then today, I decided to POAS, because I wanted to make sure the hCG was still fading. My results has been lighter on Thursday and Friday and I wanted to make sure they were still doing that. Now, here is where it is weird- the lines didn't just not get lighter, they got darker.

Last week I had three brands of dipstick tests. I was getting positives on only two of them. One of them was supposed to be high sensitivity, but at no point last week was I getting any second line on it at all. Well, after I took the other tests today and saw a darker line, I decided to try that one. So next time I used the restroom, even though I'd already had a cup of juice, I used those and now the line I could never get to show up showed up IMMEDIATELY. So I thought maybe there was a difference between batches, so I tried a different Lot with my next pee, and that one showed up immediately as well!!!!

So, now DH and I have no idea at all what is going on. I don't want to get my hopes up, but at the same time, it really does seem like hCG has increased a LOT. If everything does turn out fine, I am going to be so mad at that nurse for telling us that there was no chance at all for the pregnancy to be viable!

Anyway- beta is in the AM. Should have an answer tomorrow afternoon.

 

[sunshine8]

Hello again Bizzbii, I have cried so much this morning that my head is reeling. Feeling so empty within. I also have this feeling that its not worked for me. I don't know how to come to terms with this. I really hope some miracle takes place in the next couple of days. Do you take progesterone pills or suppositories?

take care , hugs

Hey darling buny, reading our post lifted my sour mood up, so nice to hear this very positive news from you. I read on the net that if it is a boy the hcg level rises slowly, so maybe that is the case for you. So happy for you girl. Take good rest.

Regarding my faint lines, the thing is it is colourless, there is defo a line but no colour. and this has been happening since last 4 days, which is wired, it should either disappear or get darker. I read that it could be the evaporation line. But I have ben using just one brand of test wondfo. I will try with another brand probably tomorrow.

and take god care of yourself, baby dust to all

 

[sekky]

Sunshine8 and Bizzibii keeping everything crossed for both of you and praying things turn around.

Bizzibii I know what you are going thru as I went thru same thing last cycle and I wish I can give you a hug. Just hang in there.xxxx

 

[bunyhuny]

sunshine8- Oh, hun. I'm sorry, I misunderstood. But don't give up hope until you try a different brand. If those tests you have are totally messed up, you could have a BFP and not even know it. I will be thinking good thoughts for you!

 

[sekky]

Bunny wishing you all the very best with tomorrow's beta. I am still very hopeful this will work for you xoxo

Hi ladies

Last night I had EWCM but it was heavily blood stained (bright red). I wiped several times and the blood was always on the tissue paper.

Just checking this is normal??

I have had several water infections since July and im currently on antibiotics for one now. Apparently this time it's not a water infection because there are no proteins or keytones in my wee but there are traces of blood.

I was also thinking that if it was a water infection then their shouldn't be blood in the EWCM it should be in my wee.

I'm Due to start IVF in about 2 weeks (I get my medicine on Tuesday) so just wanting to make sure its not a cervical infection or something like that.
