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. :happydance: 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.


Good news Bunny your little bean is such a fighter. Baby dust.
 
AFM - I just had another scan today. I have follies sizes: 24, 20.5, 19, 18, 17.5, 16, 15, 13.5, 12, 11, 11, and four <10. My estradiol is at 2858. I trigger tonight at 7pm (in less than 10 min!!!), then ER is scheduled for 7am on Wednesday!! I can't believe I've finally made it this far!!

Prayerful you have lovely folies. Yay for triggering tonight. Good luck with collection soon. X
 
thanks, I'm still getting on and off cramps so fingers crossed!

How are you pregnant ladies doing? Any symptoms yet?
 
Ok ladies I tigger tonight at 11pm. ER on Thursday

:happydance::happydance::happydance:

What do you have cooking in there for follicle size??

Well she didn't say and I didn't ask. I just know my E2 is 5,997:wacko:

Woah!
Hopefully you wont develop OHSS. My E2 number was a tad higher than that day of my ER. I went on to develop mild/moderate symptoms that took 3 weeks to go away. Fingers crossed you stay clear of that cause it sucks and it was the reason my ET was cancelled.
 
Mrs. T, I'm so sorry. I unfortunately know just how you feel. Try to stay positive -- it'll happen for you. :hugs:
 
Ladies, we are torn between transferring 1 or 2 embryos in October. We are not against having twins, but we are not necessarily trying for twins, either. Our first attempt at a fresh transfer of two top grade (non-biopsied) embryos did not take during my first IVF cycle. We are looking at about $5,000(-ish) out of pocket for each FET. I know that the risks are higher for carrying multiple babies, and that's weighing heavily in my mind. That said, I'm also concerned about implantation issues again since we don't really know for sure why the last attempt failed (my doctor assumes chromosome issues). I'm driving myself mad with this decision - lol. We are counting on getting our family from our 4 frozen, normal (biopsied) embryos. Thoughts? :flower:
 
Beta was today and it was confirmed negative as I already suspected. Good luck to you all.

Mrs T - so sorry :hugs: do you have frostys. Maybe your body is more receptive without meds. X Good luck with the next step. X
 
Well ladies, just got back from my third scan and I only have 6 follicles on my left ovary. For some reason all the follicles on my right ovary are just not growing. I'm a bit bummed but my doctor said given my low AMH that he is very happy and it has been an excellent cycle. Looks like retrieval is going to be Friday :happydance:

I'm just praying all those follicles have eggs.
 
I feel like a :jo:

I'm sort of having a pity party at the moment...
I'm 28 today, I have no children, barely any eggs left and I'm just feeling a bit down. I often wonder why I feel such a strong need for children and that if I don't have them that it will define me for the rest of my life. How is that fair to do to myself, my husband, our marriage? Eh, I'm sorry ladies birthdays always make me sad.

:dust:
 
Spotting and cramping came back yesterday morning. All pregnancy symptoms went away at the same time. hCG numbers came back not having doubled in three days and still under 1000. Doctor won't do any more beta tests. She says the pregnancy will either continue or it won't and there's nothing anyone can do to help it stick. We go in for another u/s next Monday to see if the pregnancy is still growing. At this point, we have a higher chance of miscarrying than things being okay. Doctor is back to talking about what to expect with a frozen cycle. I just wish we had some answers. I always figured once we finally got pregnant things would stop being so unknown and stressful. But nothing has gone right with this. I'm bleeding all the time, my numbers don't do what they should, the gestational sac is smaller than it should be, all my symptoms are gone.... :cry:

I think I might have to take a break from BnB for a while. This is all just getting to be too much and I don't feel like I have the ability to keep up with everyone's posts and be supportive. I just have no energy left and I feel terrible about not being there for all of you wonderful, wonderful ladies.
