[tiffttc]

Tiff- we have thought if there is one baby not finding out. ..but if multiple then finding out. ..haha who know I'm a big planner. We will put more thought in it if I sea a heart beat. Just trying to pass that hurdle and then I will feel better

I found out with my son I wanted to go all blue or pink I tink you need really good willpower not to find out...Ya I remember that early scan you will be really surprised at how strong the heartbeat sounds I hope u have a happy healthy pregnancy and easy delivery

 

[MrsL4]

waiting - how far along will you be at your next appt this week?

 

[waitingongod1]

Mrs. L- I think 5 weeks at 5 days....think they will see anything? :/

 

[MrsL4]

yup! my first ultrasound was at 6 weeks and 1 day and we saw the yolk sac, baby, and a tiny flicker - but couldn't count the heart rate yet - we could just barely get glimpses of it!

Renae - On the front page I think you have me listed as transferred 2. I only transferred 1 (the other's still in cryo waiting for me).

White - So exciting! Best of luck on Thursday

AFM - 6dp5dt... still . I know there's still a lot of time, but I'm starting to lose a little hope. I'm just using Wondfo ICs, but I don't think it'd be much different if I used other tests. Time will tell.

Krissy I have seen people get bfp at 12-13dpo fingersvrossed fir you !!!

Ok ladies I have a question for you all! So today I start with my prometrium (progesterone tablets).... I have to take 2 orally (am and pm) but my concern is the 6 I have to take "intravaginally".... So there is no applicator or anything and I'm a little grossed out by the whole thing. I took my first 2 this morning and basically just put them up as far as I could but it seemed SO weird! Is this what you all had to do? I have to do that 3 times a day!!! Any advice would be very welcome. I know a few of you have mentioned them being messy etc so hoping I could get some honest advice to put my mind at ease that I'm doing things right!!

 

[bettybee1]

I inserted them 4x a day on cycle with my son right up to 12eeek I wasn't grossed out tho just makesure fingers are cleaned you will be fine its only like checking your cervix xx

 

[Renaendel]

Krissy, updated to 1 and 1 Also 6dp5dt is for many frosties the first day hcg enters the blood stream. It takes a day or two for serum hcg to show up as urine hcg, how fast just depends on the kidneys. You aren't out of luck yet.

White, I wish I had better answers for you. I know some ladies end up using them rectaly instead, less mess and the body helps push it up there.

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Thanks ladies! Betty that made me feel better - I guess I just need to get used to it but I just wanted to make sure I was doing it properly and not being stupid and missing something out! I was never a cervix checker - almost had so many other ovulation signs I never felt the need but thanks for putting it like that!

 

[KrissyB]

Renae - Ooh! I didn't realize the timeline was different for frosties!! Thanks for the info!

White - Yeaaaah - I'm of the exact same mindset. I don't usually check my cervix so just pushing pills up there is very very alien (and a bit demeaning TBH lol) to me. I had to do it 2x a day for other tww, but this is the first time I have to do 3x. My best advice is just to push it as far as you comfortably can. Then try to be a little still (sitting or laying down) for 5-10 minutes afterwards. I find the more I move around after, the messier it gets.

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Oh great advice about staying still! Thanks - will do that as it was definitely quite messy this morning!

 

[Renaendel]

Every frosty will be a bit different but I have read they are on average a bit slower to implant. Fx it is just the wondfos not being sensitive enough.

 

[bettybee1]

Oh no ! Am a serail fu fu checker haha !! :0!!!!! Xx

Hiya

I took the vaginal ones pre IVF in the times ovulation and the clinic gave me an applicator for it. Soooo much better. Ask a chemist or your clinic if they have any available for you.
Oh and wear panty liners!! Otherwise gross

 

[bettybee1]

Okay am so bored of waiting for my period !!! Am only on day 16 don't think I've even ovulated yet arghhh !! How long was everyone's cycle after ivf ? A lot longer ? .xx

 

[Kat_F]

Betty I'm not much help mine was 20 days after ec and no transfer. The one after 28 days..

 

[waitingongod1]

White- don't be alarmed if you spot on those. Sometimes definitely when using so many a day they irritate you and could spot because of it. I'm hoping to be switched to them when I go to the doctors on Thursday. I am soo...bruised for these progesterone oil shots after all my ivf shots..not sure how much longer I can do them. But they are less messier and only have to think of them 1 time a day...but hips just so sore..

Hi everyone,
I haven't checked in here in a while. I got some frustrating news last week. My FSH was high again, so my joy cycle was canceled. I easy supposed to move on to an estrogen arch based protocol, but my clinic takes a week break at the end of July, so I'm back on bcp until early August. I will try once more for the microcose lupron protocol in early August, and if my FSH is stil high, I'll move to the patch protocol in lTe August or early September. So I guess I need to move to the August/September section
Good luck to everyone in July!!

 

[KrissyB]

I know it's super faint.... and I can't tell if it's pink....
But I'm trying to stay calm.

I should also add that it was taken a little past the time. I was too busy staring at it in every light and didn't snap the picture until about 20 minutes or so afterwards.
