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

Sarah, how is your ms today?

I woke up to go to work but felt horrible so called in sick. I woke up a half hour later having to throw up. I'm justwondering how people manage work and ms, I didn't have a whole lot of time to get to the bathroom.
 
oh my!! twins iluvbabies!! soooo happy for you! testa congrats with your LO also!! what a great day :)

i have to go to the clinic tomorrow for eval b/c im still in a good deal of pain :( i wish this mess would be over so i can move on to round three!


dis when are u going?? cant wait to hear!
 
Mobaby, I don't go until march 6, hate this waiting....

I hope things get better for you soon hun and that third times the charm for you. sorry you've had to go through so much.
 
we have a heartbeat
:cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9:

omg what a sound! I burst out crying straight away.

so Im waiting to go in and im already tearing up as so nervous and still feeling shakey due to being in bed all week. they call me in and insert the vaginal ultrasound. after a minute she says 'well theres definitely a uterine pregnancy' and then there was silence which felt like ages. and then suddenly a heartbeat sound filled the room :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9::cloud9: it was the best sound Ive ever heard! the heartbeat was 156bpm.

Im measuring 7 weeks 4 days, no idea what that means as Im 7 weeks today going from LMP. so happy, just 5 more weeks to get through, and this darn sickness (but today made it more bearable) :cloud9:

mobaby you are still in my thoughts, and am hoping that your next cycle will give you success. is there anything they can do to change the protocol? I wonder if you are not stimming quite right. would you consider a 2nd opinion from another clinic?

Hi Sarah

I am so excited and thrilled for you. Congratulations. I know how hard it can be to wait. I finally went to the specialist yesterday and heard the heartbeat and saw the baby on the ultrasound screen. I didn't sleep the night before as I was feeling so anxious. I finally was able to breathe when the doctor let us hear the heartbeat.

Keep well.
 
Oh wow ILuvBabies, twins! I understand your concern. Did they give you any hint if it is normal for baby b to be behind? I know with almost all twins one is behind, but did they say how many days behind?

How many weeks are you? What day was your ER and ET? Sorry for the questions. I was just trying to get an idea of the time line.

You must be so relieved to see one HB regardless! Congrats!

You know I'm ticked they didn't do measurements like my last clinic did! And the pic doesn't even compare to what I have of my other kids. So no idea on dates, sizes, anything! Our blasts were at different stages when they were put back so it makes sense one is behind. I'm just over 6 weeks when the heart starts beating so really this could go either way. May retrieval was in December so we can't date this from that. Transfer was 1/27 I think.
 
Hi ladies. Just checked in to see how everyone is doing. Mobaby I'm so sorry to hear that things didn't go as we all hoped and prayed. Hope your doing ok. Xxxxx
 
PCOSMom-They were both round and really similar in size. I just wish they would have measured them. My other clinic did much better u/s! I came too far to be questioning things. I almost feel like calling my OB but they won't take pity on me. LOL

Dis3tnd-Thank you!!! :)

I would be ticked about them not doing measurements too. Yes, sometimes the heartbeat isn't heard until 7 weeks, so hopefully your next scan will have 2 hb! When is your next one?

Next Wednesday. I will definitely be asking for better pictures, measurements and some dates. Otherwise, I will call my OB and get that ball rolling.
 
Hi, I went to see my RE today for the pain after my D&C.... Actually the pain was much improved this am when I woke up so I wasnt going to go but since it still was there and I am tender to touch, I went. Everything checked out normal. He thinks the pain is from my fibroid degenerating due to the quick downfall in hormones after the D&C. Nothing looked abnormal on examination. It would be perfect if that little guy shrinks!
Also my tissue sample came back partially. It only came back on me (well, my DNA anyways), which was normal. He said the more detailed analysis may give some more answers. IDK if it will be of any help because there was sooo little tissue. But, I will wait.
My RE is going to discuss the last 2 IVF cycles with his partners. He wants to make sure he is not missing anything that lead to the failure then to the MC. On paper everything looked great and I should have been pg the first go around. I go back on March 19th. I told him we are taking off until the summer and he said this was a great idea so we can have a mental health break (yes, I need one of these!).
So hopefully when I go in on the 19th he will have some answers and have meet with the other REs and come up with a solution. He offered PGD but I don't want to go this route. I've researched it and do not think it would be a benefit right now. I also dont want to risk losing any embies, which he said is a small risk. But if we have only made 5 out of 23 then its a risk I am not willing to take. Maybe I can talk him into putting in more than 2? We had 3 blasts last time (unfortunately the last one wasnt good enough for freezing).... Putting 3 scares me, but putting 2 in has been unsuccessful. I want the next cycle to be agressive as can be because after this we are out for a long while. IDK- I will just have to wait for things at the next meeting.
Good luck everyone who got their BFPS! Its so exciting that its working for so many! There has to be a percentage of women who it doesnt work for and I guess thats me. Someday though. I look forward to the updates on ultrasounds and such. I imagine this thread dying down soon after everyone has their ultrasounds and moves on the the first trimester section. I will definately update when I hear something and when I have my next cycle. Please keep fingers crossed for me that the third time is the charm :)

Praying you get that sticky baby!!!
 
How is everyone? Any new scans or BFPs??? I have my second ultrasound in the morning. Praying for more good news [-o<

Dis, how much longer until your scan?? Ugh! :dohh:
 
I had my first U/S today. Great heartbeat and baby measured exact! So relieved. But I know I will be just as nervous for the next one.
 
Teta - how did the second ultrasound go?

Care - great news! Congrats!

My first u/s still isn't until next Tuesday...a whole week from now. Makes me so nervous, but what can I do? I'll be 7w+6 at that point, and then, fingers crossed, I'll get another at 12 weeks. It makes me so nervous just thinking about it.

My ms kicked in the day I turned 6w however... lost 2 pounds in the 6 days I was throwing up constantly. I can only stomach dinner, and that too only if its something my mom cooks. I am so lucky to have her close by, we've gone over to hers everyday for dinner since ms kicked in. I got a prescription yesterday because I wasn't able to function at work, so hoping that helps some with the ms - hoping the ms is a good sign though!
 
Well that's great news dis! :winkwink: stinks, but at least you know things are cooking as they should. You jinxed yourself being so worried about having no symptoms!

My Ultrasound today was perfect :cloud9::cloud9::cloud9:!!!
One bean measuring 7 weeks 2 days (I'm 7 weeks tomorrow), with a heartbeat of 153!!!!!! They tried to graduate me but I begged for one more week :haha:

So one more next Tuesday, then I am supposed to see my ob the next day and I will have another one there, but I think I am going to push that appointment back a week so that I can have more reassurance the next week too!

I hope that's what it means Teta! I have read that you can still have ms and all symptoms of pregnancy with a blighted ovum, but trying not to freak out.

So happy to hear about your ultrasound - great to hear baby is doing so well.... we'll both be 7 weeks tomorrow! (fx'd)

Such good news!!!! My last RE graduated me at 8 weeks after 2 u/s. This one I think is 12 weeks!!! I may never see my OB. :winkwink:
 
ILuvBabies - how are your babies doing? Your followup scan is today right???
 
ILuvBabies - how are your babies doing? Your followup scan is today right???

Yep thanks for asking! Baby B has not progressed. The sac appeared empty so I don't even know what happened. Baby A is doing well and measures 7 weeks which is real close to my ticker! I had to ask for measurements but I'm happy to have them. Yolk sac looked good and so did hb!! I won't go back until March 14th. :)
