IVF/IUI - Winter 2012 & Beyond! (updates 1st page - 25 BFPs, 7 - twins!)

[Tella]

After you have stopped taking the progesterone supplements how long did it take for AF to arrive?

 

[sunshine1217]

ILuv, I'm happy with A healthy baby. I just hope my beta didn't stop suddenly last week and they didn't know because I haven't had it checked in a month. I guess there's nothing I can do in this 1ww till my scan. Hold my hand!!! How are you feeling? Any symptoms? I don't feel anything except that I had to buy new bras to fit my ridiculously large bbs. DH said I look like a porn star.

Tella, I am so sorry for your BFN, I went through a round of IUI and I so had my hopes up. I actually kept doing the IC's and stopped at 10dpo because i didn't feel pregnant and I was getting BFNs. I got my period 2 days after...my usual luteal cycle is actually 13-14 days.

Mrs C. Consult with a couple doctors and you will get a feel for their practice, really. Of course do research online but at the end of the day, you have to feel comfortable calling and asking questions. You have to feel like they have your best interest in mind. Good luck!!

AFM, I gained 2 lbs since beginning of the year. My phone app told me that was excessive :growl mad: I'm not eating badly or a lot. I hope the gain was just all the salt I ate over the weekend.

 

[Edamame]

So sorry Tella! Hope af comes quickly so you can try again!

 

[urchin]

So this month was not my month onto next cycle of IUI, hope its second time lucky

Sorry to hear that Tella xxxx big hugs flower

OMG Mrs Bear has How exciting!! Can't wait for her to feel better and join us again.

AFM - no clue what's going on. No more spotting. Temps are still above coverline but are all over the place. Lord give me patience.

Yaaaay for Mrs Bear - hope you're back soon chikkie xxx

Blummin eck Bastet - hope this all becomes clearer soon
Quick Q - is that your pussycat? I used to have 2 devon rexes that looked a lot like your avatar - 'cept mine were ginger

AFM i've been feeling nauseous again today - so have played it safe with a plain jacket spud for tea, with a chicken breast ... SuperBland!

 

[desperate4567]

So sorry Tella.

I go for my beta test in the AM but did a home test yesterday which was neg. Hopefully the home test was done too early and maybe they were late implanters..... Totally not going to be able to sleep tommorrow. Praying for a positive tommorrow.

Thanks, me too.

Why yes that is my pussycat. I have two Cornish Rex kitties. Love them! The devon rex is very cool as well!

I just created my first TTC journal and boy oh boy that took awhile to write. If you read it I apologize in advance for just how long it is.

 

[froliky2011]

Squirrelgirl - I had a BFP but the beany decided not to stick. Good Luck Everyone!! and

 

[SquirrelGirl]

Oh Froliky, I'm so sorry. What happened? Did you get a second beta?

 

[sunshine1217]

I had a little change of plan today. Nurse called and suggested I get my scan later next week because I will be exactly 6 weeks on Monday so I may not see a HB. I agreed to change it to friday but i asked to get another beta this thursday because I told her I was concerned with my numbers not going up fast enough.

 

[Angel baby]

Just thought I would update. I'm 24dpo and had a chemical. Several cyst and my beta is finally negative. I will start provera tomorrow to start a period and DH and I are on a TTC break. Thanks for everything and support ladies. Congrats on BFPs!

 

[Edamame]

Froliky and Angel Baby! So sorry to hear that. I hope you are both doing ok.

 

[urchin]

sorry to hear things didn't work out froliky and angelbaby - big hugs to both of you

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Sunshine-My symptoms are much less now than less week which of course scares me. The worry is sickening. I told dh my life is over if something happens because I know we aren't doing this again. Good luck on the next beta!

Mrs. Bear-Twins?!?! OMG!!! I need to go read her journal!

Squirrel-That's nuts the test are negative this late in the game! I never buy the cheap tests. Not worth the stress and worry.

Tella-I'm so sorry hon.

sunshine > Hey some people pay lots of money for those bean is doing just fine, just look after yourself, Im joining you ladies soon!

I just want my AF to come now so that I can see the doc again and start meds, possibly gonna ask him about injectables instead of Femara so that we can get atleast 2 follicles to grow and mature instead of just one.

Edamame, Urchin, desperate > Thanks

desperate > Im keeping you in my thoughts and hope you do get that surprise BFP!!!!!!!!

bastetgrrl > A journal is a great escape and don’t apologize, that is your place to do what every you want.

froliky > Im so sorry, hope you feeling ok and that you can get the strength to carry on.

Angel baby > So sorry about the chemical! Enjoy the TTC break it help a lot to get your head back in the game.

ILuvBabies > Thanks

AFM > Last progesterone suppository was yesterday morning, so I just hope my AF arrives soon, I might even have to go to the doc on Sunday if AF stays inline with normal LP

 

[bastetgrrl]

I'm so sorry things didn't work out Angelbaby and froliky.

Tella - yeah it took forever to write but it felt SO good to let it all out and it was really interesting to reflect what has happened over the last year. Feels like a weight is off my shoulders since I got it all out.

Hope that AF shows up very soon so that you can move onto the next cycle and catch that eggie.

 

[froliky2011]

Tella - You are so good at writing a note to everyone. Sometimes that has been difficult for me because I have been on my phone and it's very small and I think the stress sometimes I notice I am not even thinking clearly. Yesterday I forgot what month it was. I was completely stressed. Thanks for your support. Good Luck with the next cycle and sorry about AF!!

Sunshine - I did some research and was surprised how many misdiagnosed miscarriages there are because the doctor wants to give the worst case scenario. The numbers can really just add so much stress if they are low. Just remember if they are low, there is still hope and if the progesterone is above 10 there is still hope. Good Luck! I hope your numbers are high and progressing normally though so you have no worries. It's nice to have peace of mind during the first trimester.

Thanks for all your support. Sorry if I have missed someone or mixed up names. I am completely stressed out and not thinking clearly at all.

and to all of you!!

Sorry Angel Baby!!!

Thanks! are you having another beta before your scan? It is so hard the first trimester with so little signs of pregnancy that's that only redeeming quality of MS. I hope you see the heart beat at your scan! Next week will be a big week for both of us!!!! I'll be thinking of you.

Yes you will join us soon in this worrisome first trimester, stick with this thread, I know you will!
