IVF/ICSI in July

[BizyBee]

I'm officially PUPO!

We had 4 great blastocysts so we put 2 back and froze 2. I feel fine, but I'm going to relax and take it easy.
I had acupuncture before and after and it was fabulous. So relaxing! Also starting chinese herbs tonight for implantation.

Here are my babies...

 

[ANGEL223]

Bizy - Yeah! Congrats on being pupo! The pics are amazing!
Im so pleased you got some frosties too! Hope the 2ww flies in for you.
Tell us more about the chinese medicine - im fascinated as implantation is the area i need to do some work on!

 

[BizyBee]

Sure. I got the herbs from the acupuncturist (who works closely with my fertility specialist). They are safe to use with the medications I am taking. They are called "Treasure of the East" Dietary Supplement, After Transfer. FA19-c, Fertility Specialty Formulas. Ingredients: white peony root, atractylodes rhizome, codonopsis root, licorice root, lycium fruit, astragalus root, loranthus stem, dioscorea rhizome, cuscuta seed, dipsacus root. I take 3 pills 3 times per day.

Hopes - sorry you got a BFN - but it could still be too early, and now ou have then benefit of knowing that if you do get lines, you can trust them as you have no hcg left in your system. FX.

Yay Bizy - PUPO!!

 

[Deeni]

Bizy, congrats on being PUPO and getting some frozen embryos!! Hope your 2ww flies by.

Hopes, I am so sorry about your BFN. At least it is still early days and I will keep my fingers crossed that your BFP is around the corner.

My situation hasn't changed at all. I am still spotting brown all day but my tests are still showing two nice lines. I am trying not to worry as there is nothing I can do until my test on Monday. I also have a nagging pain on my right side. It makes me worry about the pregnancy being ectopic but again trying not to worry until I talk to the nurses on Monday. This has seriously been the longest week and a half of my life.

Yeay Bizy on being PUPO. Love the embie photos and congratulations on getting 2 frozen too. Good luck with your TWW - hope it goes quickly for you.

Hopes - Try not to worry about the pg test. It may still be too early. You've still got a week until OTD haven't you?

Deeni - Lots of luck with your test tomorrow. If its any consolation, I had terrible throbbing pains on my left side the whole of the first trimester and it wasn't ectopic. The nurse told me that its quite common as all your follies are getting back to normal again.

to everyone else

Deeni - Lots of luck with your test tomorrow. If its any consolation, I had terrible throbbing pains on my left side the whole of the first trimester and it wasn't ectopic. The nurse told me that its quite common as all your follies are getting back to normal again.

Thanks, sue. That makes me feel a lot better!

I'm super excited for your beta tomorrow Deeni! Best of luck!

Bizy, way to go on 4 blasties! I hope the two you have on board now snuggle in nicely!

As for me, I am an absolute mess. I tested again yesterday morning, BFN. I didn't test this morning, though. I had some soreness in my boobs at the end of last week, but that has gone away. And I am getting this lower back pain that is like AF pains more frequent now. This evening I had this super sharp pain in the front, on the lower left side. It lasted about 30 seconds. I had another one about an hour later. Beta is on Wednesday, and I just wish I could feel calm and positive, but I'm just too nervous.

Thank you for all the continued support ladies!!

 

[BizyBee]

Good luck tomorrow Deeni!

Hopes, still feeling positive for you. FX for your beta on Wed. Af symptoms mimic pregnancy ones so praying that's the case for you!

 

[ANGEL223]

Deeni - wishing you all the best for later. I cant wait to hear your news!

Star any further update from you - hope you got good news hun!

Hopes i have everything crossed for you! I wouldnt worry too much about the test and as Bizy says, the symptoms are so alike! Not long to go to wed try and stay positive xo

Bizy hope you are still doing ok?

Hope everyone else is keeping well xoxo

 

[BizyBee]

I am doing well Angel. Trying to relax and take it easy (easier said than done though, as I feel no different). I have HCG in my system from the trigger shot still (tested yesterday). I'm afraid I may not be able to POAS early since my body holds onto it for so long! We'll see. Blood work is on the 30th.

How are you?

 

[Starbright]

Hey all

Sorry I haven't been around. We've been in France for a week with no internet access!
Well, I re-tested on Friday as told and it turned positive within a matter of seconds!! I was really excited DH is very happy too.
But I saw a GP today (not my regular doctor) as I have had an upset stomach for a couple of days. And he has upset me quite a bit. He said that they want me to go back tomorrow for an urgent antenatal appt as a miscarriage is still "high on the cards" He also seems to think that miscarriages are more common with IVF patients - but he wasn't sure. So I have to go and see another different Dr tomorrow. Tbh he has scared the pants off me. I was supposed to be back at work tomorrow but he said to take a few days off sick and get lots of rest. Honestly the way he spoke to me you'd have thought I was going to miscarry right in his office! Ho hum. Will have to see what happens tomorrow I guess.
I hope the other Pupo ladies are doing ok and we get some bfps pretty soon

[ANGEL223]

Star, you really have taken the punches for this one. You have really earned you BFP! I hope your illness passes quickly and you get to continue a healthy and happy pregnancy!

Had my review app today. My Dr is leaving so i will have someone new for my next cycle which will probably be Nov but they will have to see what way the dates fall as they close for 2 weeks in Dec.(Sorry if i kept a jounal i would put it there!!!)

 

[BizyBee]

Star, you've got a bfp, darling! Don't let him scare you. I have massive amounts of PMA for you. xx

Angel, Hope you can get started sooner than later. Are you happy about having a new Dr.?

 

[hopesforababy]

I'm so sorry Star....I hope that you are feeling better and that you continue on with a happy and healthy pregnancy.

Deeni, any word about your beta??

Bizy, glad to hear you are still doing well!

Angel, sorry to hear that your dr is leaving, but hopefully your next one will bring some extra special to you!

I am still up in arms about everything. Took yet another test this morning and it was negative. Then spent every other minute I could find googling the odds of false negatives. I am now feeling no symptoms at all. Ugh, it's my own fault for driving myself crazy!

 

[BizyBee]

Awe hopes, I just posted on another thread to see how you were doing. When do you have your beta?

 

[Deeni]

hopes, I still have faith that you will get your bfp. Is your blood test on Wednesday?

Bizy, my body also holds onto the shot forever. I was so worried about a false positive. What dose of hcg did you receive? Do you plan on testing out the shot?

Angel, maybe a new Dr. will bring a nice fresh perspective! Are you glad to have someone new?

Star, you still have your BFP!!! I'll be thinking of you and keeping my fingers crossed.

I got my beta test done today and I am officially pregnant. The nurse said my numbers look really strong and my hcg was on the higher side. If I had more than one embryo put back in I would be thinking twins. Maybe it is still identical twins though!! I am so excited and hope it sticks.

 

[BizyBee]

I will likely test in a few days to see if it's gone, but I doubt I'll feel confident with a line until I get my beta test. My trigger was 10,000 units.

 

[Starbright]

Congratulations Deeni!!
Good luck for your Beta test Bizy

[ANGEL223]

Congrats Deeni! Nice to have some good positive news!Take care of yourself and those twins???!!

I actually feel a little sad that my Dr is going - i had sort of gotten used to his broken english and intense stares but he sort of amused me. Ironically, all through my treatment he said very little but yesterday, we could not get him to stop talking and I learned quite a lot. Im positive about the new Dr - a woman and while i wasnt speaking to her, i overheard her chatting to some nurses and she seemed really pleasant! PMA!!


Star, Bizy & Hopes, really wishing like mad everything turns out ok for you guys!
