IVF in june/july 2012

Forums New posts
I am sorry to hear about your ohss. I am going through same thing right now. I had to have my transfer cancelled. I went and had the fluid tapped and my RE said she may have to do it again. That was a horribly painful experience. I didnt feel a ton of relief afterwards but she said my fluid was pretty high and she wasnt able to get to most of it. Sorry you are going through this. Hang in there.

Hi everyone,
I just wanted to check in and give a quick AFM update. I ended up developing severe OHSS on Sunday and spent all day every day last week in the clinic. I had to get the fluid removed twice. The first time they took out 2 liters and the second time they took out 3 liters. The whole experience was pretty awful but it looks like I'm starting to get past it.
On the flip side, it looks like the OHSS was a reaction to my newly rising HCG- I got my first ever BFP after 3+ years and 2 failed IVF cycles! My doc was concerned about it doubling correctly but after 3 betas it looks like things are on the right track! I didn't allow myself to get excited about it until I finally heard the doc say that things are looking good. Then I started sobbing so much that I had to hand the phone over to DH. Now I'm trying to relax until my first ultrasound in a few weeks.

Roxanne- my first beta was 81. My second beta was a bit low too but it looks like things started to pick up with my third beta. Don't give up hope- there is a wide range for normal betas.

Amylou that's fab news!!! Sorry about the OHSS but I'm sure it will all be worth it :)

Roxane, you sound really worried hun :( I wish I could say don't worry but I know it's on your mind. I hope that tomorrow brings you some answers. Xx

AFM - got the call today that 14 of my 17 eggs have fertilised naturally :) so happy to hear that!! They've provisionally booked me for a transfer on Fri morning but depends on how the embies are growing as it could be day 5 transfer on Sunday. Still feeling a bit bloated and uncomfortable but not half as uncomfortable as I was yesterday. Have a good evening ladies.

Carmen. Xx

Good luck with transfer Carmen! That is awesome that are embies are doing good. Hang in there. Glad. You are starting to feel better.
 
Been in bed most of the day...I am starting to feel better which is good. Got a call from RE office today. They were actually able to freeze 7 of our embryos. They are rated from very good to poor. The girl said she has only seen 2 in almost 2 years that were a very good grade.
I had 2 good
2 good/fair
And 3 fair.
I am not sure what it all means but it only takes one, right? If my body would just catch up and get better....
I am not going to lie it has been very discouraging. I know I need this time to get better before we move further. It is just hard.
 
Roxane- I'm not sure how to count the days post ovulation, but it was about 15 days after the retrieval.
All the HPT that I took were pretty light. DH was convinced that it was an all or nothing thing where the line had to be as dark or darker than the control line. I kept telling him that he was confusing it with the OPK :) He never did bother to read the package though.
That's great news that you are still getting a line, regardless of how dark it is.
 
gncope- glad to see you have so many great frosties =) hope you feel better soon

afm- new pics in my sig... sorry the group one is blurry
 
Gcope, hope you feel better soon but you have really embies, they are not going anywhere, they will wait for you :)

Drsquid, awesome pic!!!:)

Afm- Just did another FRER because I was not satisfied with my cheaper one of this morning and the line is as dark as it can be!!!!:) yeh!!! I feel more confident now!!! Its tomorrow!!!
 
Roxanne good luck tomorrow! Glad you saw a nice dark line.. Should be a good sign!

Gncope that's wonderful news you have 7frosties!! Im so anxious for transfer so I completely understand you not wanting to wait. Our emotions don't always listen to our heads!

Carmen what a great number of fertilized eggs! I agree, I think you'll prob do a 5day transfer.

Afm, nothing happening today...tomorrow they are going to call and give me instructions for my transfer on Friday. And hopefully give me an update on my embies!
 
Results finally came back!!! It's at 294!!! More then tripled!! I guess it's just a slower one!! As long as it sticks, I don't mind!!! Next step is u/s in about 2 weeks but they will call back to schedule!!
 
Congrats Roxanne!! :happydance:

I'm anxiously awaiting transfer tomorrow morning.
 
Hi Lovelys

Had my first baseline and labs today. He saw 8 beautiful follicles. Trying not to stress too much over the fact that there are only 8 right now.

I start my Follistim and Menopur injections on Sunday night. Estimated ER is on the 16th. So anxious, nervous and scared

Thinking about you all and reading every word you say!

Prayers and Blessings,
~Angie
 
Angie 8 is great! Also a few more could pop up between now and ER. Getting a response and seeing follicles is good :)

Hopeful thanks for checking in, transfer was a bit interesting. I thought for sure we were just transferring two blasts. When we got there today we were informed that we had 1 grade A blast, one early blast, and three morulas. Since the blasts were a lower grade they gave us the option to also transfer a morula. So we transferred three! Little nervous but I know the risk of all three sticking is very low. Fortunately we got a call already this afternoon that are morulas are now officially early blasts so they are freezing them! Now the waiting game again!
