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

[Prayerful]

Nope I get the prize. I am 39. First TTC. Been through one failed cycle. Just got AF. Wondering if I should squeeze into a cycle, my clinic closes for quality control, (which means I run there today) or wait till next month. Af came last night and 9.23 was the last day for this group. The doc said to come in if she came by 9.23. I feel rushed, but am I just nervous?

What did you decide to do?

How is everyone?

I'm starting to enjoy being PUPO! I am having a bit of an issue with my progesterone. I'm only on the tablet suppository and it seems to always come out in a huge blob. Anyone else using Endometrin and have this issue? I want to make sure my bub has a nice healthy home to implant in.

Oh, you are so lucky to just be on the suppository. I "get" to do both the suppository twice a day and the IM injection. How fun! Anyway, I definitely have globs that come out too. I think it is expected that some will fall out. The key is just to insert it as high as you can and then don't stress over it.

AFM am PUPO with 3. OTD is 10/9. Ugh looks like forever but am definitely testing before then.

It is so funny the different guidelines for the official test dates depending upon the clinic. You were only a day behind me and are testing 10/9. Ababy, I believe, was a day behind you and is testing 10/2. I think SunRay's ER was same day as ababy and she is testing 10/6. And my OTD is 10/4. So random!

When do you think you will POAS?

Brief update - Yesterday's numbers were still a little low (I have no idea what they are supposed to be). Saturday e2 was 77, Monday it was 208 (6 days of stim). I have my first scan tomorrow to see what kind of progress is going on inside. I've been having terrible headaches. My RE said he can't prescribe anything because he doesn't want to interact with other meds I'm taking; he said to check with my PCP. My PCP is in France for a week. <sigh>

I wish I had some advice for you, but all I can say is good luck and I hope the headaches cease soon!

Thanks Prayerful OTD is on the 6th Oct, I am so attempted to test this weekend though

Good luck! Can't wait to hear your results!


Magpies, how are you doing? We haven't heard any updates from you in a while. Hope all is well!

AFM - I got some sad news this morning. My other three embryos did not make it. So we have no frosties. It also looks like I've developed mild OHSS. I started having shortness of breath and increased heart rate yesterday. They are going to start me on Dostinex. Have any of you taken that? I also have to send a daily email to the doc with a symptom report and my morning weight.

On a positive note though, only 8 more days until I POAS! For now, I'm just enjoying the thought of being PUPO!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Prayerful- I went to the clinic this morning because I couldn't sleep. They did my baseline and I started stimming tonight. I return on Sat for a sono and blood.
Thanks for asking. Here we go again.

TMI but my cervix is SO high I almost can put the whole damn applicator in...


I did one IM of the progesterone in oil and I tell you my buns hurt for DAYS!!! I give you ladies props for doing that everyday and multiple times a day...you are fighters!

 

[sekky]

Prayerful am also on IM progesterone twice weekly. The first one didn't hurt I guess the nurse is just good at it. Sorry about the OHSS hope it goes away quickly. Am also at risk because I had a high E2 before trigger but no signs yet.

My clinic's standard is to do a urine test 16 past procedure regardless of which procedure was done even IUI. They don't do beta only if the patient request or there is a medical reason to do so. I think I might start to poas on the 1st

Samsfan yay for starting. Goodluck

For some reason it hurts the most when DH puts it in the left bum. I'm most bruised on the right though. Go figure!

Hopefully the OHSS stays away for you.

When is everybody's OTD???

 

[ababy4us]

I'm going nuts with the what-ifs! Its only 3dp2dt and I feel like a crazy person. I go from being excited about being PUPO to just extremely saddened that this is it for us, the end of the road if it doesn't work. I'm torn between feeling like I need to be moving around a lot to get the blood flow to my uterus to just resting (even though the Endometrin is making me SOOO sleepy). Sorry to ramble. How are you ladies or how have you ladies who have been through it handling it?

Awww hang in there sweety. I must be super lazy because I loved being up in bed for a week. I really milked it and seriously laid in bed for about 4 days and only got up to use the bathroom and shower.

try and stay relaxed and calm, I know that is so hard to do when there is so much going through your head. I was a mess too. I am a huge book nerd and I thought that reading would even help keep my mind off of it, but I couldn't even focus trying to read.

When are you going in for your beta?

A week from today! Debating on whether or not I want to POAS. I have been for a few days and the line is fading from the trigger and its making me a bit sad so I am thinking maybe I shouldn't poas...

I know how tempting it is! Trust me, I wanted to know so bad, and that was what was driving me crazy, was the not knowing, but then everytime I wanted to I got too scared and didn't do it. It was sooooooooo hard but I waited until my beta. I was 10dp5dt when I got my BFP. Stay strong momma!

No formula to surviving the tww. Am going nuts already

Sekky - I was so crazy on the TWW. I swore EVERYTHING was a symptom but then I said, no wait it could be the meds, but I don't know. I was a MESS! Hang in there!!!

 

[Samsfan]

Ababy4us- Good luck! My first round. I went to work the day after. My doctor said I could go on as normal. I went around like every PUPO woman. Of course, mine didn't take, but my acupuncturist who is from China knew it. He blamed on the grade of the cells. Anything is possible. I had all the symptoms of a pregnant woman.

Prayerful- Thank you. I can't believe it this time. My belly is sore and I haven't gone through a day of shots.

Hope everyone is having a great day... Key is to keep busy and not think about it.

 

[JessicaG121]

I got the results of my first scan- only 5 follicles, plus 5 more less than 7mm. I was hoping for more, as we all are. How am I supposed to have leftovers to freeze? What if I don't get any viables? :sad:

 

[Samsfan]

Jessica- I started off slow last time and ended up with 10 and had 2 to transfer. Don't get discouraged! It is only first scan

Jessica - my first scan was today - I only have 4 trying not to panic... But geeze, can't SOMETHING in this journey go right!?!?!?

 

[Prayerful]

Ugh, the tww is definitely difficult ababy! I thought I was handling it very well but after tonight's shot (which hurt even more than normal) I had a total meltdown with lots of tears. DH was super sweet and tried to cheer me up by making up a silly song and playing the guitar for me. Haha!

Sam - Sorry you are so sore already!

Jessica and Chickadee, hang in there. It is still early!

 

[JessicaG121]

Jessica and Chickadee, hang in there. It is still early!

That's my hope. It sounds like I'll be doing at least 4 more days of Stims, totaling 12 days or more.

It looks like we are on similar schedules. My EC will probably be on. The 3rd as well.

Hello

At my first scan (after 5 days of injecting) It showed I had 10plus of follicles on each side but all were less than 10mm, I was really worried but because my e2 level was at 586 they wouldnt up my dose (150iu of merional), I went back 2 days later after 7 days of injecting and I had 5 in total that were between 11.5mm-13.5mm and around 20 plus less than 10mm, so she said they are growing. My next scan is tomorrow to see what they are at now. The nurse said I too may need to stimm for a few days extra. My lining is looking good and thickening.
With this being our first ICSI it's all new and I was worried so much after Mondays scan, but the Nurse says this happens a lot.

Good Luck Ladies
