IVF May/June/July 2015, Lets Get Ready!

[PecksTTC]

Thanks Ladies.

I don't know when we will test. Bloods should be 2 August but as it is a Sunday it will be 3 August. I don't know if I could handle the disappointment of a BFN so might only test 1 or 2 August. In the 2 years TTC I have only ever tested myself once. I usually relied on the witch coming or bloods.
I am now 30 hours post transfer and nothing. I was so busy at work today that I did not eat my breakfast (thus neither lunch). Only my 2IC at work knows about the IVF and when I came back from my last meeting she gave me such a lecture about how I need nourishment. and then I remembered and was so cross with myself. I can't continue they way I normally wood.

White when are you testing?

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Pecks I know how you feel... I haven't been particularly hungry but making myself eat! Blood test is on Tuesday... I think I'll test on Sunday as that will be 10dp4dt... I need to stay busy.... The waiting is killing me!!

 

[N8ie]

All the best White.

Ladies, DH and I have decided on the Mini- IVF since it produces better quality eggs. We are wishing for the best.

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

That's great N8ie!! I'm so excited for you and keeping my fingers tightly crossed for you for this cycle

 

[Hopethisyear]

Hope - wow how exiting !! What's your protocol ?? I can't wait for af to arrive so I can start my patches fed up of been in limbo xxx

I hope AF shows for you soon! I'm on estrace which will gradually increase, then I start progesterone and a whole lot of other meds 5 days before transfer.

Pecks - Congrats on being PUPO Don't forget to eat.

N8ie -Sorry i don't know much about the different protocols, but better quality eggs sounds like a good plan!

I hope everyone is having a good day!

Hey girls I haven't been on this in a few days so Ian just dropping for an update after 10 days of stimming I had my egg collection today they retrieved 10 eggs I felt really unwell after and I have been in a lot of pain all day but hopefully it will be worth it Iam nervously waiting for my phone call in the morning to c how many fertilised they are hoping to do a day 5 transfer so my fingers are crossed I get one good enough to put back in

Pecks - congrats on being PUPO

I hope all the rest of ur ladies are doing well

Hi ladies

How are your weeks going?
Transferred 2 blasts yesterday! Doc said that 24 hours are critical for hatching and hoping. I feel nothing though. Not an iota of a cramp. Somewhat disappointed. Did anyone feel any different?

My last Ivf cycle I transferred 1 blast I had no cramps I felt nothing and that cycle was positive for Me so I would take that as good I dunno it mite just me but I always associate cramps with sometime bad happening so I have a good feeling about you Iam looking forward to seeing your in a few days 😁

pupo girls - stay positive! thinking about all of you! after our transfer, i had mild cramps and was convinced it wasn't working - i took a test Thurs night because i just could handle it, and it was BFN. Friday I told myself it was over with. Then saturday, i did one more test just to be sure....and i got the faintest line. Beta was on Monday, and it was 88. We all wish we had that super-power to know early, but symptoms can be so crazy or nonexistent! just try to stay strong, it is sooooo hard during the two week wait.

even after our bfp, i had mild cramps week 5-7 which made me so nervous, but i was assured that was my uterus growing

n8 - i don't know much about the different protocols, i just went with what my doctor thought was best. did your doctor lean towards one?

Great news with the 10 tiff! Here's hoping for good news tomorrow

So I need a little advice - I'm concerned about how much progesterone I seem to be losing.... I take 2 tablets orally so obviously no issues there but I have to take a further 6 (2 at a time) vaginally.... I try to get them up as far as I can but sometimes I swear I must lose at least 1 of the tablets so much comes out.... Did anyone else have this problem? I'm just a little worried I'm not getting enough but don't want to email my clinic just yet in case it's normal. Any advice? x

Iam taking the crinone gel vaginally once at nite and so much white stuff comes out I have to wear a pad and my doc says that's completely normal so I'd say don't worry you seem to be taking a lot of it so mayb that's why u have a lot of discharge but mayb to put ur mind at ease you should email them I'd say they get asked those type of questions all the time or Google it I hope that helps 😊

Betty- one was full blast (grade 3AA, all along I thought it was 1aa). We decided on the mini-IVF and on my day 21 I have to go for the endometrial scratch (hope it's not painful)

Waiting - congrats again on being pregnant

White- thanks

 

[N8ie]

White- don't worry too much. When I was taking the progesterone a lot was coming out too and my dr said it was normal. All the best again.

Mrs. The doctor was leaning towards the mini- IVF and we decided on doing that.

 

[Wish2BMom]

white - I read up on the progesterone and what was coming out too (I was on the crinone gel) and what I found was that the actual progesterone hormone is quickly absorbed by your body. What you're seeing isn't actual progesterone but the encapsulating 'stuff' that is ok to leave your body. You're not supposed to absorb the whole pill, just the hormones out of it and that happens w/in the hour. So you're good!

White, I wouldn't worry about getting enough progesterone... I asked my nurse the same thing, and she said that it really only takes 15 - 20 minutes for your body to absorb the progesterone. That's why they tell you to lie down. The white stuff is just the wax that contains the progesterone.

I know it sounds gross, but my nurse told me to take the suppositories rectally. Omg, am I so glad I tried it (tmi)! No mess at all! Its kind of a pain in the butt (pun intended, heehee), but worth it. I am not a doctor, so check with you doc to see if this is an option for you.

Hi ladies

Transferred 2 blasts yesterday! Doc said that 24 hours are critical for hatching and hoping. I feel nothing though. Not an iota of a cramp. Somewhat disappointed. Did anyone feel any different?

I had a lot of cramping, bloating, and nausea after my retrieval, and even up until yesterday (ET was Friday). But I think I had OHSS because my follicles were HUGE and my doc said he had not expected to get as many eggs as I did.

Anyway, I woke up today, and nothing. No cramps, no bloating, just a tiny bit of nausea. I'm really hoping this is not a bad sign, and its just that my ovaries are getting back to normal I think the nausea is due to progesterone. Ugh, I hate this waiting, analyzing every symptom!
