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

[PecksTTC]

Evening ladies,
Hope you are all having a good weekend...
Went for second beta on Friday, so 10dp5dt, and it increased to 364 from 184! A big sigh of relief. The clinic said no more betas unless I freak out. Said I would so they gave me another form for bloods. I think I will it next Thursday as I want to see my betas close to 3 000. Then I don't go back until 7 weeks scan on 20 August. That is a lifetime away!!!!!!!!
They want to see sac/s and hear heartbeat by then. But that seems too early for a heartbeat right? Argh so much what ifs. Too many things can go wrong between now and then.

On that note (or somewhat related), does anyone have "symptoms" yet? I feel nothing which does not help my anxiety levels. My sore breasts went away last week Sunday. They may be making a return but it is too early to tell. I have been nauseous twice, but think it is in my head. And I am tired, but work means I am not in bed before 2am and back in the office by 8am.
I am in no way wishing sickness on myself, but I kinda am. I just want to feel SOMETHING to help me believe we are pregnant.

Thanks girls
Pecks- I had a 7 week scan with my last pregancy and we heard the heartbeat it was really strong and a lot louder then I thought so dnt worry about not having any symptoms I didn't have any symptoms with my last pregnancy at all the whole way through I wasn't sick or anything and I had a healthy boy so dnt stress not having any symptoms isn't always a bad thing

Well after my 2nd beta not quite doubling I had to go back for a 3rd test this morning and my lovely nurse called me this evening to let me know that it tripled!!! My new beta is 2459 (from 829 2 days ago!) so I am of course delighted and super relieved!! Now no more beta tests, next up is my scan in just under 2 weeks!!!

Lala - look after yourself girl! Sounds awful!!

 

[tiffttc]

Ok so I tested again this morning and the line is still really faint I still have to turn it to the light to c it Iam 8dp3dt today plz someone tell there's was like that to

 

[bettybee1]

Can you upload a photo ?

It depends what you call faintx

 

[tiffttc]

It won't let me upload the line is so light Ya can barely c it in a foto I think Iam going to wait a few days and then test again because if Iam pregnant it will defo show up properly by then but I just don't no now Iam kinda disheartened now

 

[waitingongod1]

Tiff mine was faint first 2 days. 3 day took a digital and said pregnant

Pecks- I saw a heartbeat at 5week5day us. Then heard hb at 6week5day. And even stronger at 7weekd5days. Also until I was 5 weeks my symptoms were just very tired and started to get hungry a lot. Like needed a snack in the middle of night hungry. Everybody is different . I'm past 8 weeks and many say their boobs are killing them and mine haven't really hurt that much. Morning sickness set in early for me at 5 weeks 2 days. Good luck!

Tiffttc, could you upload it to a program like photobucket and give us a link instead of attaching it?

Any line is a great sign right now.

White - wow congrats so glad it has doubled I think u have twins in there !!! X

I haven't been on in a couple days, so congrats to all the newly PUPO & BFP's out there!

I think I mentioned that I thought I had a case of mild OHSS because I've been a little bloated ever since my extraction, but over the weekend I started to feel really bloated and I had sort of sharp pains. I was so excited to get my BFP that I didn't mention it to the nurse when she gave me the news on Sunday. Finally Monday I gave in and called the nurse to see if I should come in to see the doc. They had me come in on Tuesday, and apparently I had a severe case of OHSS! I had fluid in my abdomen all the way from my ovaries up to my lungs. They "tapped" me and removed a ton of fluid, but wanted me to come in again Thursday to possibly do it again if it was still bad. Well, it was still bad on Thursday, so got "tapped" again. Ugh. Hopefully that is the end of it!

Anyway, I am telling you ladies this because my doc said that most of the time OHSS can be prevented by drinking TONS of water or especially drinks with electrolytes. I thought I was drinking enough, but apparently not. And he said that being pregnant can make it much worse, which is why I kept getting worse and worse. The weird thing is I really didn't feel anything until it was really bad!

So, drink lots and lots of water, ladies! Make sure you stay hydrated!

Wow I am going through a similar thing now and I am not sure if they will do the transfer. How many eggs did they retrieve from you?


Congrats to all the raising betas! I am so happy for you ladies!

afm - They retrieved 20 eggs yesterday, I found out this morning, all fertilized naturally but only 11 look like they will make it to day 5...I am very please with this report....woohoo!

My only concern is that I am suffering some mild OHSS. My abdomen was swollen like I was 6 month pregnant and I was having trouble breathing. I gained 10 lbs yesterday which was scary! I phoned the doctor and he told me I was dehydrated and I need to up my fluid intake. So in all I drank about 200 oz of Gatorade and started peeing like a racehorse. So My abdomen is still swollen but I am on the mend.

Now the question is will I do the transfer. The Dr said on the phone yesterday that they are going to want to see me tomorrow to make a decision. I know I don't want to go through what I went through yesterday again but at the same time I don't want to delay my transfer.

TTC - I understand how desperately you want to do the transfer and not have to do a FET but you have to make sure you feel ok. I was made to do a FET after they retrieved 16 and I had no symptoms or signs of OHSS. They made the decision based on the amount of eggs. The big problem is OHSS can be controlled AS LONG as you don't get pregnant - if you have OHSS and get pregnant it just gets worse and can be very, very serious. Hopefully you are ok but just try to bare that in mind... I do understand how tough it is, I really didn't want to do a FET but it worked out for the best and I didn't have to worry about anything...
