IVF - For those in January?? (Nov. is long gone!)

[JaniceT]

Ummmmm....what's this????

Sorry for the super duper yellow pee ... I had just taken my prenatal and folgard. Always makes my pee neon yellow.

It could be a +ve ! But do test again. My 2nd ICSI pee stick gave me a false positive. That's why it's so vital to pee on a few sticks. Please geta +ve!!!

YOu can't get a false positive from a frozen cycle with no HCG. They tried to tell me that when I tested with DS. He showed plus the same time or maybe 1 day later. It was shocking! FET'S do indeed work!!!!

But I did get a water mark on the positive line. Always retest.

Mobaby - My clinic didn't call me until the afternoon after ER...it drove me NUTS! They said they would call in the morning and I was freaking out that something was wrong. Turns out they just had a bunch of ERs and ETs lined up for hte morning and were running behind. I wouldn't be worried.

If I remember from your previous post, you had 20 eggs at retrieval right? I had 20 eggs on the day of retrieval, I found out the next day that 16 were mature and 11 fertilized...I had two transferred and got two frosties...I was so happy with that cycle. Here's hoping you get some great news and are just as happy with your cycle as I was with mine! Now...if I could just get that BFP it would be the icing on the cake!!

I have to admit, I am a little scared since I had a miscarriage in March this year.

I really hope this baby sticks ... if so, I will refer to my new munchkin as "sticky"

Hi all

I've been reading all the exciting updates and really hoping that all the baby dust does the trick!

I'm just popping in to say so long
Various delays in getting started and a bit of bad luck in terms of my cycle timing means that I'm going to be on the BCP for longer than anticipated and won't start the buserelin down-regging injections until December - they need to avoid Christmas week you see... This means that I am unlikely to start stimming until January, given the length of protocol I'm on, so I'm looking at mid to late January for EC and ET.

Slightly annoying as I thought we'd be doing all this before Christmas, but hey - new year, new life and all that!

Ladies, it has been a pleasure being part of the journey with you - even if I was mostly an observer. I shall continue to lurk for updates and wish every single one of you heaps of luck and success

 

[sunshine314]

Thanks SophieBee Good luck on your cycle in January. At leat until then you can enjoy all the Christmas/holiday parties and not have to worry about shots/stims/appointments and all that. And you're right...new year, new beginnings!

 

[PCOSMomToTwo]

SophieBee -- I had a few delays in my cycle too! I was on BCP for 5 weeks, then my period didn't want to start after I stopped them. The reward at the end is golden ... it's truly worth the wait. May God bless you

Mobaby, Sunshine, IluvBabies200, ttcfurrever, Janice -- A heart felt thank you

This is just the beginning steps and I'm really trying not to get too excited because there are so many things that still need to fall into place.

1-Blood work (11/15)
2-Are they gonna stick?
3-Did they implant in the right spot?

Once those 3 things are OK, then I will let out a BIG relief.

 

[ttcfurrever]

SophieBee, sorry to hear about your delays, best of luck with your cycle. I'm sure I don't have to say you can stay with us if you like!

PcosMom- the coveted frer line!!! I am so happy for you. God is showering you with his blessings. I pray this pregnancy is happy and healthy.

Mobaby- have you heard anything yet?

Janice- you're stimming now right? How is it going?

Sunshine- any symptoms today?

 

[MoBaby]

Sophie: Good luck with your cycle in the new year! Things happen that suck but are out of our control BUT it will be worth it in the end And we can not rush things because it has to be perfect!

PCOSmom: Your new tests look good!!!

I FINALLY got my report around 11am today (I am super excited):
20 eggies
17 mature
3 immature
14 fertilized normal
1 fertilized abnormal and
2 did not fertilize

They had to use our frozen sample (the sample they said they WERE NOT going to do because they would not survive and we convienced them to do one) because apparently the fresh spermies were few and far between (DH diagnosed with flucutating azo). They used what they could from fresh but dipped into those frozen swimmers I am sooooo happy because I was so nervous!

SO they said Monday for the transfer which will be a 5 day transfer, but they are going to call tomorrow in case there is a change and they can tell which 2 are the best I am getting excited but nervous because all the things PCOSmom mentioned

 

[ttcfurrever]

Oh Mobaby that is FANTASTIC news!! You should have some great blasts to transfer and frosties as well

omg how exciting!!! please stick lil bean

MoBaby thats amazing news! did they say how many of the 14 they expect to make it to day 5?

afm ultrasound showed 19 follicles 1.2-2.0 in size, going back tomorrow and probably trigger tomorrow night and ER on sunday.

 

[ILuvBabies200]

MoBaby-Great report! 5 day transfers are the best so I'm rooting for you!

PCOSMom-Love all those pluses!!! I am so excited for a BFP here on our thread!!

SarahinCanada-Exciting you are about to do retrieval!!

SophieBee-So sorry to hear about the delay. I never wanted to hear that sort of news. Enjoy your holiday though! I will either be dying with a secret or bawling my head off in bed. It has its pluses to wait...

Me-2 more days of BCP's and it all begins!!!!! I'm excited, scared, nervous, you name it.

 

[MoBaby]

No, they did not say how many they expect to make it to day 5.... What is the normal outcome? Is it like 70% make it or something like that??? I hope we have at least 3-4 to freeze and 2 to put back

ILuvBabies: How exciting! Only 2 more BCPS!! I was soooo excited when there were only 2 left!!Have you started down regging? I began Lupron when there were 2 or 3 days of bcp left (I can't remember lol). The shots are not bad at all! Your tummy ends up looking like a war zone by the time you are done lol.

I do not have to do the HCG trigger shot like originally planned because they said I am at risk for hyperstimulation which means I get to avoid 2 IM injections that I was not looking forward to (and I can begin POAS early LOL!).

Good luck! It moves really fast once you begin injections! FX for you!

 

[PCOSMomToTwo]

I initially had 30 follicles
18 mature eggs
11 fertilized
5 made it to 5-day blasts

I had 1/3 dose of a Lupron injection yesterday. That's all I will get for that. Never had this protocol before. And stims I start next Thursday. I have both s/q and i/m injections so 2 a day. 1 will be painless and 1 I will be sore from. LOL I've done dozens of injectable cycles and several IVF's. This is a new clinic for me though since I had a really bad experience in July with a new RE that has now left the practice. I left too however and haven't looked back...

 

[MoBaby]

Good, glad its not your first cycle so you know what the shots will feel like! FX for this new clinic and your BFP!!! Cant wait to see your updates.

PCOSmom: Thanks for the information. So if we have 50% survive then we still have plenty

ILuvBabies200 ... I guess we are at the same point. I took my second last bcp tonight. I'm hoping that stupid witch shows her face asap lol. Then you're right, it all begins!!!
