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

*Update*

Here is some good news today!!!

hCG results should be back in 4.5 to 5.5 hours. Blood draw was crazy. I've been craving medium rare to rare red meat for the last few days, ate 6 steaks in since Thursday...., and now I know why. My body has been BUSY making blood. When the nurse stuck the blood draw needle into my arm, blood spurted out all around it. And when she went to fill the vial, well, I have never seen blood whoosh into one of those things so fast!! It was amazing. Glad I listened to my body and ate what it told me to!

We also has our first post-conception u/s today. Our clinic's u/s machines are not very high powered, so we didn't know if we'd be able to see anything yet, but there it was, right where it should be, our gestational sac! Yayyyyy!!!!! There was something in the sac as well, but the machine isn't high enough resolution to have picked up exactly what it looked like. Doctor refuses to say what it is because she can't get a clear image, but it was obvious that she thinks we were looking at the yolk sac.

We go back in for another u/s in a week (23rd, 6+5). By then, we should be able to see more. And we're having the doctor in charge of the entire clinic doing the scan. He's the one who did my transfer. Then another scan on the 30th (7+5) by my regular doctor to check for heartbeat if the machine isn't powerful enough to pick it up next week.

That amount of relief I am feeling is INTENSE.

One, maybe two, more ultrasounds and we should have proof that everything is okay.

4magpies - massive congrats!

Bunyhuny - can't wait to hear what your beta is today!!! And what a relief to see a pic on the ultrasound!!!

 

[ababy4us]

WOW so much wonderful news!!

Congrats magpies!!! That's amazing!

So glad everything is great Buny!! What a relief you must feel.


AFM- Follicle count went up to 12 plus 2 too small to measure. The biggest is 18, smallest 9 I think. I doubt I will trigger on time (tomorrow) but that's ok, as I have read the slower you "cook" your eggs the better quality (At least I'm telling myself that, haha.). I just have to wait for my blood work and see what it says. I'm so nervous I'm going to end up with no eggs. I know its probably ridiculous and I'm stressing over nothing but I expected to be much farther along at day 9 of stims than I am. Oh how these u/s stress me out!

AFM- Follicle count went up to 12 plus 2 measurably ones. The biggest is 18, smallest 9 I think.

I don't think I will trigger today as well. Still waiting for the verdict. It's day 12 and 11 days of stimm already.

I'm so frustrated. I'm sure its the hormones as I am irrationally frustrated

Sekky, did you have an u/s today? How many follies if so?

 

[sekky]

I did but I don't know how many(I didn't ask) waiting for the nurse to run me thru it when my e2 comes back. What dosage are you on? Am just on 225 of Gonal f

 

[Plex]

Magpies - CONGRATULATIONS huni!! xxx
Buni - Such amazing news xxx
TeeinAZ & Sammy - Cant remember if ive already said Conrats or not but....CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! xxx

 

[Plex]

Double post - sorry xx

 

[ababy4us]

I did but I don't know how many(I didn't ask) waiting for the nurse to run me thru it when my e2 comes back. What dosage are you on? Am just on 225 of Gonal f

I'm on 150 twice a day, 75 Menopur twice a day, 20units of microdose lupron twice day. I am getting sore :-/

 

[Plex]

Ababy - Ouchies!! Thats a LOT of stabbing with a needle no wonder ur sore! Will u have another scan 2moro before u trigger? xx

 

[sekky]

That means you are on 300 + 150?

Am not triggering today but hopefully tomorrow. I have 19 follies. The biggest is btw 18-19mm and the smallest is btw 13-14mm. E2 came back at 3,472.

Another E2 tomorrow my poor vein. Then hopefully the last scan tomorrow too can't wait.

 

[Plex]

How many blood tests u had so far then Sekky? xx

 

[ababy4us]

Ababy - Ouchies!! Thats a LOT of stabbing with a needle no wonder ur sore! Will u have another scan 2moro before u trigger? xx

Yes, ouchies. BUT I'm trying not to complain too much

I'm thinking I'll definitely have another scan before trigger. I get the feeling that the Dr. that did my scan today didn't maybe check as well as my nurse who usually does the scan. The scan didn't hurt at all and I thought for sure it would, she didn't seem to manipulate the probe as much as the other do so I am anxious to hear the e2 levels.

Yup! LOTS of drugs...Damned DOR!
That is great Sekky!! Do you have small veins and do they have a hard time drawing blood from them?

I learned my lesson, I drink lots of fluid the night before blood work and morning of.

Yeah its generally quite uncomfortable going through one of those scans as it is without loads of follicles filling the space up. Hope u get the nurse 2moro so u know the right count Did they give u a time when they'll call u with the results? xx

Congrats Ladies on your BFPS! so exciting and encouraging to hear!

I have been holding back in the shadows as we have our first appt next wednesday, so we haven't started yet.

I just wondered, when do things start in relation to your cycle? With the drugs etc?? Or doesn't it matter?

Thanks

Tanya

Hello Ladies,
I did my second spontanious cycle IVF this morning and we retreived my egg and waiting for the call tomorrow if it'll firtilise.
ER didn't hurt, voltaren pill helped.
It was amazing to watch (my hubby watched too) everything on the monitor. The needle went into the follicle and aspirated the fluid.
Congrats 4 BFP!
Good luck with RE and ET this week!

 

[sekky]

Good luck Dovkav. Hoping this you get good news tomorrow.

Ababy and plex am just a super coward. I can only allow a needle into veins around my elbow and unfortunately it's only one that's visible there. Tomorrow will be the fifth prick.
