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

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.


:hugs:

No worries love, you do what you need to do <3
 
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:

I totally know how you feel. I hit 30 on Monday and am just at a loss of how to deal with it. I always thought I'd have three kids by now. Not sure how to go about being okay with how things have turned out. Growing up people always asked me what I wanted to be- and I always said that I wanted to be a mother. As soon as I was old enough that "electives" were being offered in school, I chose to take a parenting and family studies class, usually reserved for pregnant teens, but anyone *could* take it if they wanted to. (I think I was the only non-pregnant girl in the class....)

At this point, I'm just not sure how to go about redefining things. It's pretty obvious that even if this pregnancy does work, I'll never going be able to have the 5+ children I always planned. All those future images I've constructed in my head just don't match what life has become, and I have no idea how to change that. The last few days, I've kind of been wallowing in it.

No words of wisdom here, just letting you know you are not alone at all.

Birthdays always make me sad too. :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:
 
thanks, I'm still getting on and off cramps so fingers crossed!

How are you pregnant ladies doing? Any symptoms yet?

I think my major symptoms, outside of the Progesterone is dizziness, little cramping, headaches, tired and loss of appetite. I keep saying I wish I'd just throw up and know that it's a real PG symptom and not the meds. LOL But I don't know why I would wish that on myself. Sick, SICK I tell you. HAHAH

OH ladies! I was told by my doc that I am still young, and I kinda looked at hime, I am barely making the 1 transfer cutoff. This is why I was thinking I should have transferred two. But I'll tell ya, going through this definitely does make you feel old. I am always praying for you girls, EVERYONE on this board. :hugs:
 
Trigger tonight at 10:45pm ladies. Retrieval is 10:45am Friday. Estradiol levels are in the 1400's. was hoping it too be a bit higher but oh well.

:happydance: fx for Friday.

Buny am so sorry. Wish there was something that can be done:hugs:

Prayerful thinking of you. Hope your ER goes well

Wow we are just a day apart. Prayerful today, me tomorrow and Ababy on Friday:happydance: can't wait to read all our BFPs.

Plex how are you doing?
 
No frosties :(

So sorry Mrs. T :hugs: Don't give up your hopes the next IVF should have better success. Unfortunately is expensive. Celerbs had few goes before success.... Read that Angelina Jolie had 7 goes before success and Jenifer Lopez 5. X

Good luck to everybody with ER. X lots of BFPs
 
Ababy and Bunny so sorry for your hard time. We are all in this and feel your pain. X
 
Disney - It is obviously a very personal decision. If you are OK with twins, you might as well do 2 though just to give you better chances. I think we are planning to go with 2. Good luck whatever you decide!!

Happy birthday ababy! I know exactly how you feel (and you too bunny!). Birthdays can be hard when you haven't reached the milestones you had expected to. At this point I will be at least 31 before I ever have children. That is definitely not how I planned my life...

:hugs::hugs::hugs: Buny

Good luck tomorrow, Sekky and on Friday, ababy!!! So glad we are going to be going through the TWW together!
 
Oh, totally forget to update you on my ER today...

They collected 9 eggs (from what I remember anyway!). I came home and crashed until like 2pm! Haha! But I really feel pretty good and haven't had to take any pain meds at all. It wasn't nearly as bad as what I made it out to be in my head going into it. I get to hear a fertilization report tomorrow morning!
 
Currently in the infamous 2ww after our first IVF/ICSI. 34 eggs retrieved, 28 mature, 6 fertilized and 2 transferred on day 5. Severe male factor. None made it to freeze unfortunately.

Today is 2dp5dt. What a emotional rollercoaster. Thanks for everyone sharing their stories and sharing their love. I'm not sure yet if I should test early or wait for my beta next week. In a weird way, this is as close as we've ever gotten to being pregnant and I don't know if I'm ready for a disappointment yet, so I may just wait for the beta. Thinking positive thoughts though!!:)

:happydance::happydance:

For things being easier than anticipated. I swear I am so nervous about the sedation and being under. Gives me the heebie geebies (sp?)

YAY for 9 eggs!!! Did you say you were doing ICSI??
Yippe for TWW buddies :coffee::thumbup::flower:

Don't stress. It really wasn't that bad. You'll just want to come back home and rest the remainder of the day.

Yes, we did ICSI. FX it works!! :)
