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

[Disneyfan88]

Well ladies I only have 2 embryos developing properly so they are going to do a 2 day transfer so we don't take chances. I'm so disheartened.

Sending you lots of pixie dust and sticky vibes! I'm praying that you'll find success with your embryos.

AFM - Transfer was today. The actual transfer process went very smoothly. I am a little nervous though. I was told initially that my clinic only recommends to transfer 1 unless there is advanced maternal age. Today though, they actually recommended that we transfer 2. We were planning on transferring 2 anyway, but the fact that they actually recommended 2 makes me nervous that they are not good quality... I am just trying to remain positive and trust in God. Beta will be on Oct 4.

Here are a couple pics from today! The first is my little embies post-transfer and the second is how they looked in the lab just prior to transfer.

Congrats on making it to PUPO! Your embryos are gorgeous, and I pray that they get nice and comfy!

October 10th can't get here soon enough! I go in for my lining check appointment next Saturday. It's a few days earlier than I'd normally go, but I'm going out of town for work the following week. I'm praying that my cysts have shrunk or at least prove to be inactive. I won't want to proceed with the transfer if it's possible that they will prevent implantation from happening, but I will be disappointed if we have to delay things even longer.

I won't get any more update till tomorrow and am really praying my transfer is Tuesday because am still very sore and suffering from a very bad bloat. Two more days of recovery will do me a lot of good. Am feeling really sick and hope it doesn't get worse than this.

I agree with the other ladies. Continue with the electrolytes and stay hydrated. The electrolytes should help flush your system, and it will help with the bloating. I developed a fever a couple of days after my ER, and my doctor told me to take Tylenol to bring it down (which it did). It did take me a few extra days to feel normal again after the ER, which was different from my first round of IVF. Stay rested, and feel better soon!

Welcome Katie!!!

I did my first injections tonight!!
Ok, yes they were fine. But I was so nervous!!!!
And DH-- sigh ---I think he was even more nervous. He did the actual pushing of the med on the Gonal F --- but it was so hard to push the medicine in so he was kind of pushing the whole needle down so it hurt a bit and the it started bleeding. So I pulled out the needle and realized a bit was still left �� I didn't dare stick the needle back in again, so it is what it is... I'm sure that's not the first time this has happened!
The second one I put in and he pushed the plunger -- so that was much easier. Although I'm freaking out about the dosage!!! On the phone TWICE the nurse told me 20 units... But the package said 10!!! So I'm going to do 20 again tomorrow and then call to triple check on Monday.
So, I love DH and I am soooo glad he wants to be involved... BUT.... I honestly feel better being in control of the whole process.. So not sure if I will have him help tomorrow... I don't want to hurt his feelings and I want him to feel like I need him.. So I'll sleep on it and decide tomorrow...

Do you have to mix any meds? Thats how I involved my DH because I couldn't handle him do the injections. He liked that and I think it made him feel important I'd say "OK, Adam, time for my meds!"

 

[Prayerful]

Disney, I'll be praying with you that your cysts won't be an issue and you can do your transfer as planned. Others have told me that beet juice is supposed to help with cysts. I never could find any though. Maybe you'll have better luck if you want to try it. Just a thought! ;-)

That's exactly how I involved DH. "It's almost time to mix my meds, Hun."

Thanks, Prayerful! I'll keep praying for your sticky beans!

 

[sekky]

I just got the call. We are going day 5. 8:00am on Tuesday for transfer.

 

[sekky]

All the best today Ababy. Praying it goes smoothly.

 

[Izabela]

Ababy, that just means no frosties but you can still get your little sticky bean! Good luck tomorrow with transfer!

Sekky, did you get an update today? How are things going? Is transfer on Tuesday?

Good luck with the transfer. Keep positive it only takes one. Baby dust.

Disney I hope you start next month, you have been through so much you deserve a bit of luck and big BFP

 

[sekky]

Thanks Adroplet and Disney. It gets worse after I have a meal but its getting better. Am drinking lots of electrolytes as well.

Welcome Katie. Fx thing goes better than planned for you.

Chicks yay for first shot. Things will move faster now

 

[ababy4us]

On our way to pick up our embabies! Maybe a miracle happened and the rest started growing?!?! Pray for us

Good luck ababy!!! I was so disheartened when out of my 34 (!!) eggs, only 4 were fertilized (yes, we did ICSI). I didn't even know if those 4 would make it to transfer day. In the end, they made it to day 5, we did the transfer and I'm so glad we made it this far. Let's hope your two beautiful embabies will get REAL comfortable for the next few months
You only need 1!!

 

[tcreasey88]

Mwb you have similar background to me? Are you in your tww? X

Praying for you and hoping you are pleasantly surprised in the next few weeks with a BFP .

 

[mwb2040]

Mwb you have similar background to me? Are you in your tww? X

Yes, in the tww for our first IVF cycle. Going in for my beta on Wednesday. Very nervous!! We transferred two embryos on day 5, none to freeze.

Severe MF, we just found out a few months ago after TTC for about a year. Sperm count around 1 million, low morphology. We're both relatively young, very active, healthy, etc.

What's your story?

 

[sekky]

Hey plex how is DR going? Hope you are feeling much better? Miss you

 

[ababy4us]

Still waiting to transfer. Our appointment was an hour ago! I'm in pain because my bladder is so full. Getting a bit ticked off if I'm being honest.

 

[Chickadeedee]

Ababy- Good luck today! And sorry about the bladder thing - nothing worse than having to pee when you can't

 

[Prayerful]

Ugh, hang in there ababy!! I can only imagine how uncomfortable you must feel. Good luck with the transfer!

Yay for 5 day transfer, Sekky! Still praying all goes well.

mwb, have you tested at all yet or are you holding out till OTD?

AFM - I am feeling so awful and depressed right now. I was having some ovarian pain last night and rather than taking pain meds which I hate to do, I used a heating pad. I didn't think anything of it until this morning. So stupid! Elevated body temps in early pregnancy can cause embryo malformations and neural tube defects. If they even implant and grow to term I will now blame myself forever if there is anything wrong with them.
