[Peachy1584]

Thanks so much ladies. Hopefully it gets darker everyday and beta is good. The worrying is far from over I know but maybe AQ really did start a lucky thread and I pray it turns out lucky for her too!

Dan- Hoping you are next!

Mells- Hoping yours comes right after that!

 

[LinemansWife]

Congrats Peachy!!

 

[dandan1331]

dandan, thank you! when is your OTD?

Peachy, omg! That's fantastic! Congratulations!

My OTD is June 18th and it can't come quick enough haha

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Peachy, that's fabulous news!! Really chuffed for you

 

[BabyD225]

Peachy I can't wait to hear your fab beta!

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Had my stim day 5 scan today and things are looking good!

Lining is about 7mm and my biggest follicle is 15mm with about 6 which are btw 9mm and 14mm. I've got another scan on Fri and the plan is (at the mo) is for EC on Mon! I'm still hoping that I get more than 8 eggs this time as I'm on an slightly higher dose of Gonal-F to get a few more eggs, however, the only difference I'm seeing at the moment is that it looks as though I will stim for 1 day less than last cycle as the number of follicles look to be about the same?

Starting to get a bad cramp like feeling in my right leg today which i'm sure happened throughout the last cycle, but it's not pleasant and i'm not sure whether it's something to worry about or just ride out?!

 

[Oculi83]

dandan, how exciting! I'll be crossing my fingers for you.

Bumpsparkle, are you on a short protocol?

 

[wannabemomma]

BumpSparkle - I have never heard about the leg pain. I wouldnt be worried but maybe mention it to your doc! Your getting there it sounds like though!

Dandan - all sounds great! I have everything crossed for you!

BabyD - How did your scan go?

AFM- I had spotting yesterday so I called my doctor.... I went in for an ultrasound and was scared to death..... it was baby B implanting!! So there are two sacs with one measuring a week behind!! HOLY COW!!! We saw a fetal pole with the one that is at the correct stage. He mentioned it is a high possibility that this will end up being a vanishing twin but for right now that little one is digging in!! How amazing life can be sometimes!

 

[Peachy1584]

Bumpsparkle- I think your numbers sound great and with me they actually got more than they saw I'm sure it will go great and thanks for teaching me a new word. I have never heard of chuffed before lol.

BabyD- Thanks I am scared as hell! How are things going for you? Hope everything is perfect!

Wanna- That is absolutely amazing! Nature can be such a wonder.. Everything crossed that little one sticks for you as well!

 

[wannabemomma]

peachy - when do you go in for your first scan?

 

[Mells54]

Wanna, how scary! I'm glad all seems to fine for the moment. Good luck and lots of to you.

 

[Peachy1584]

Wanna- I have no idea. My first beta is Fri so I guess we'll have to get through that first. Do you have a certain amount of time you have to stay with your RE? I ask because of they code the blood tests and ultrasounds as infertility my insurance doesn't cover it but if I do all that with my obgyn they do. Honestly I think we have all given them enough money. I'm just not sure what my options are but if it's for informational purposes I don't see why my obgyn can't just fax them anything they need to know for the sart registry.

 

[wannabemomma]

Peachy - my specialist graduates us to our ob at either 8 or 12 weeks depending on how we are doing. They have been coding my blood work as irregular periods. I actually started laughing when I saw the lab place type that in. Through my insurance each blood test is like 5 bucks once I meet my deductable, which was met a looong time ago
Some were more than others though if they were testing estrogen. I don't get it. Yes we have all paid enough already!!!!

Sorry I thought you already had your beta! Can't wait to hear the number!!!!

 

[LinemansWife]

Peachy- I stayed with my RE for 10-12 weeks and unfortunately had to pay everything out of pocket. But my ob dr was very upfront and told me that she hasn't seen alot of IVF patients so I wasn't very comfortable only seeing her. I actually saw both of them for about 2 weeks. I think it's basically what you're comfortable with and how soon you can get in with your ob.

 

[Oculi83]

Peachy, I'll have my first beta on Fri as well. I'm so scared though. I'm driving myself crazy thinking about all the what ifs!

 

[Peachy1584]

Oculi- I am doing the same to myself. I keep trying to tell myself it's in Gods hands now and stressing won't do any good but it doesn't stop me. Doesn't seem fair though really that you wait so long for a bfp and it just opens up a whole new set of worries! I still don't have any symptoms either just my craziness and taking it out on my husband who has been wonderful . I really hope your beta comes back strong. I will be 8dp6dt so basically 14 dpo. Do you know what they want the first to be around?

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Oculi83 - Yes I think I'm on the short protocol. Last time I stimmed for 9 days and triggered that night and this time it looks like it might be 8 days then trigger that night. The extra 25iu on the Gonal-F just seems to have brought things forward a day rather than increasing the number of follicles/eggs but I'll see what the numbers look like at tomorrow's scan (day 7 of stims).

Good luck for beta 2mrw, got everything crossed for you

 

[dandan1331]

Morning ladies, how are you all today? I am feeling a little down today, convinced that it hasn't worked, I have felt anything since early yesterday morning (6dp3dt) just got myself down I guess

 

[wannabemomma]

Dandan - think positive!

 

[dandan1331]

I'm trying haha so hard though
