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

[MrsL4]

Yay for PUPO wanting!! :wahoo:



_________

I am 8 weeks today! Had my last ultrasound this am with the REI - can't believe I am graduating! Actually a little sad to leave them, as they were so unbelievable sweet during all of my treatments. I loved all the docs, and the nurses. But I am unbelievable thankful for this gift we have!

Ultrasound was perfect. Measured just on time, saw the brain developing, and he could tell the kidneys were working but the fluid developing. Heart rate was 151.

Next appointment isn't for a few weeks with the OB - don't know what I will do without having ultrasounds every week!

Wanting and MrsL- Great news!

AFM: Morning Sickness in full blast, I've seen worse though, so could be worse. Had some spotting this morning but 99% sure it was from my progesterone suppository last night/this morning because it was hard to put in last night and felt very irritated down there. I hate these things : ( And I already did 3 weeks of shots of progesterone and I am too swollen and bruised to go back to the shots. Sorry for the complaining.. I am VERY Happy, its just after IVF the window of just being able to enjoy anything seems forever away... oh what we do compared to women who just get pregnant on their own...

Waiting - Congrats on Pupo!!

MrsL - Congrats on the scan and graduation! So exciting!

AFM - This cycle wasn't meant to be for us - Beta's went down (a lot). My first chemical pregnancy. I keep reminding myself that this is for the best because the genetics of that embie weren't meant to grow... but that just feels a bit like a shallow excuse. Anyway, we still have one shot left. We'll do another medicated transfer next cycle.

Mrs - congratulations on graduating!!!! I'm so happy to hear everything is going well.

Krissy - I'm so sorry hun

Waiting - Sorry but, yay for morning sickness!!! Hope it doesn't get to rough for you.

Anyone know any tricks to get AF to hurry and show?

 

[PecksTTC]

Congrats Wanting!!

Krispy sorry you had bad news! But the right attitude. Your next embie could be the one for you.

AFM - decided to push through the pain and not take anything. Pain has eased but my foot is 3 times the size and black. Also anxious for tomorrow's transfer. More so than the retrieval.

 

[beneathmywing]

Mrs -- Awesome news!!!!!

Krissy -- So sorry hun to hear about the chemical

Waiting -- I know the morning sickness probably sucks, but means you have a healthy bean in there!

Hope -- I heard bd'ing helps AF show sooner!

Pecks -- Good luck tomorrow, sweety. Hope your feet gets better soon as well!!!!


AFM: Had another acupuncture session today. Few more days until my lining check!

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

Krissy I am so sorry but love your attitude and you know what, I agree with you... I keep telling myself what is meant to be is meant to be.... Not ideal I admit but the only way I can justify this whole journey.

Waiting - I understand your pain... I had the worst morning sickness with my DS and to be honest the thought of it again scares me but I know that it does pass and it's all worth it in the end!! With DS I was sick until I was 20 weeks!! I hope it passes quickly.

Hope - sorry but I don't have any suggestions I'm afraid!

Pecks - you poor thing - that sounds awful.... are you sure it isn't broken? Funnily enough on the morning of my transfer I was super nervous too! I wasn't for the retrieval but was for the transfer - go figure!! After it was all done I even had a random tear stream down my face which I also didn't expect!!!

to anyone I have missed. I hope everyone is doing well x

 

[Lalala8]

Congrats Wanting! Now on to the 2ww... I feel your pain! Did your doc give you a test date?

Pecks, my doc gave me Tylenol 3, and said don't take ibuprofen, aleve, aspirin, etc. Tylenol only for the next (hopefully!!!) 9 months.

 

[Hopethisyear]

AF showed today!!!! I knew it last night when I ate 2 bowls of ice cream LOL!!! Waiting for my updated calendar now! Just a few more weeks until transfer day!

 

[Wish2BMom]

omigosh I've missed so much! I must have erroneously deleted my subscription to this thread!
Congrats to all of the PUPO ladies!! May you be filled with lots of gas, morning sickness and sore boobs!

pecks - that rots about your ankle - been there more times than I care to admit. Good luck on the transfer! So much success over here!

Yes, it came 12 days after my egg retrieval, then I was on BCP for about 2 weeks. Now is my 2nd AF, Transfer scheduled for August 10th...20 more days! I'm getting so excited!

 

[bettybee1]

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

 

[N8ie]

Good day ladies

Congrats on all the PUPO and the BFPs. I have been following the thread and it's uplifting to see good news.

Today was my appointment with the doctor to discuss the way forward so today hubby and I need to discuss whether we are doing minor stimulation or long protocol. If anyone knows the advantages and disadvantages of each please do share.

Wishing all you ladies positive vibes.

 

[PecksTTC]

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?

 

[N8ie]

PecksTTC- yay for the two blasts. Congrats on being PUPO. I didn't feel anything after my transfer, a day later I had cramps. Unfortunately for me that cycle was not successful.
All the best

 

[waitingongod1]

N8ie- sorry no advice here :/ but good luck on your decision!

Pecks- Congrats on being PUPO! I started feeling cramps the next day and on but don't worry some people don't have any. Also mine were so strong I swear I had more then one implant, but nope just one. Good luck! When will you test?

 

[WhiteOrchid24]

N8ie - I'm afraid I have no advice either Good luck though! And i'm sure someone will have advice on the different protocols.

Pecks - Hmmm I don't know. I have had some minor cramping but really pretty minor - nothing seriously bad at all and none of it hasn't lasted particularly long. Of course I have no idea whether this cycle has been successful or not yet.... I want so desperately to have some sort of sign/symptom to give me some hope but so far nothing... Good luck hun x

 

[Wish2BMom]

pecks - I didn't feel a thing for the first few days (maybe even 7?). I got minor cramps the following week that felt JUST like AF cramps. I was pretty convinced my body was trying to start AF while the progesterone wasn't letting it. But it was a BFP, so don't worry!
I did have this awesome content/zen overall feeling about me, though. I can't wait to feel that again.

 

[bettybee1]

N8ie - since you your embryos didn't make it to full blasts and there was only 2 I would think about doing the normal protocol x
