August- best of luck for blood work today. My specialist told me to step away from the tests once a positive is confirmed!!

Cali - great news from scan. What a great number of follies!!

Em - how long after your surgery do you have to wait for FET??

Hold - I had a placenta prevea and I started to haemorrhage at 31 weeks but held on to him until 34 weeks. So not massively prem but still little when he came home!

Hey Ever! I can start the next cycle after my surgery so that should be around the first week in February. Actually, DH and I had a huge talk yesterday and we've decided to do another full IVF instead of a FET. This was originally suggested by my RE. We decided since I would be doing a medicated cycle anyway, we might as well switch to a full cycle and bank some more embryos. I'm still trying to wrap my head around doing another full cycle.

Wow, I had no idea that you went through that with Noah! I'm so glad everything turned out ok!

 

[everhopeful]

Em - your body responds very well to each cycle though doesn't it?
Just think, at the end of your next cycle you will be reunited with your embies!!
I'm so glad you don't have to wait long post surgery.

Noah's birth was quite traumatic. I was rushed to hospital bleeding and rushed straight to surgery. Noah was taken to SCBU whilst I was still in surgery. They struggled to stop my bleeding. I had two surgeries afterwards and all was fine but they did say it would prob be difficult to fall pregnant again.
At the time it was all a bit scary but this time round I'm sure I will be flagged as high risk and they will watch out for me.
You wouldn't know now that he was ever a prem, and I've mostly forgotten the whole experience. Life is wonderful like that!!

Wishing you a very speedy recovery after the surgery. Is it complicated?

Your so right and so is ur fs... I was in suh a bad mood driving into the fs that my husband pulled the car over and had to knock some sense into me! Lol

Now that I look at it the test is positive but of course it's way over the time limit

 

[Em260]

Thanks, Ever. Wow, I'm so sorry you went through that . I know how serious placenta previa can be. Good thing they will monitor you closely this next time too It is wonderful we can forget trauma so easily. I'm so thankful for that!

Yeah, I'm pretty lucky I don't have much trouble with the stims and I respond pretty well. Very little side effects and this last cycle was even easier than the first one for some reason. Hopefully my surgery won't be that complicated because it's going to be robotic assisted laparoscopic. I had regular laparoscopic last time and the recovery was about two weeks.

Beta is done so now I just pray for my results that will be in within the next 3.5 hours

Ever thank you for sharing! My mother also had the same thing with my brother that is very scary

 

[everhopeful]

August - I'm glad your hubby managed to change your thinking. There is so much stress in this process. We need to try and step back from adding extra stress to ourselves!!
Trust your body. Hope your bloods come back soon for you. Xx

Em - I'm so glad that it's not very invasive! I bet the thought of your embies going back in you will also make the recovery process quick for you! Not long to go now!

Everyone here has an amazing story to share, the path that has lead them to this point, I feel very lucky to have 'met' you all!! You wonderful ladies and gent make me feel that I'm not alone in this process!l
And I'm not sure about the US but here in the UK there really isn't much in the way of support for those struggling for a baby. It can be a very isolating time with not many people to turn to. I'm very glad this forum exists.

August - good luck on your beta!

Ever - wow, that would have been scary but so glad it had a happy ending. I understand how one can feel isolated during this process. I live in a small town in the first place but on top of it, I would be willing to bet I am the first single guy in my entire country to have a child through surrogacy. I am so glad to have this forum to share will all of you.

Thanks! It's funny, back in August of this year I was visiting with a good friend and he and I along with his two sons (my 'honorary' nephews) were out picking blueberries. And as much fun as I was having, I remember thinking that the only way it would be better is if I had a son of my own to add to the mix. And now I will.

 

[augustluvers]

Ever~ I totally agree with you! I don't know what I would do without the ladies and chase on here! This thread is a lifesaver in a world where no one else understand what I'm feeling an going through like you wonderful people on here! Where else can I analyze everything and talk freely about y injections, hormones and feelings? I've tried with friend but they end looking at me like I have four eyes!!! I have truly grown fond of everyone here

Chase~ I'm so happy for you and your little blueberry! I love looking at those ticklers sigh !!!

 

[augustluvers]

Ugh one hour!!!!

 

[everhopeful]

August - thinking about you and have everything crossed!! Xx

 

[augustluvers]

Thank you ever!!!

My family is drivin me crazy!!! M parents, husband, grandmother and brother keep asking if I got the call yet!!!! Do you feel the pressure I'm feeling! It like 6 hearts crushing or over joying all at once when this calls comes in

 

[everhopeful]

Ok paranoia has hit - would progesterone cover up a miscarriage? As in, would you not bleed? I only ask as I have had a miscarriage before and wondered if the progesterone would stop you from bleeding? I really don't have any pregnancy symptoms. I didn't have any really with Noah. I had sore boobs and that was it! This time though I don't have sore boobs? Hoping its just too early and it will all kick in soon??

I'm not one to quit too easy but I don't think I can do another ivf an get another negative. Yet I know ill do just that! I just don't want the process to be prolonged. I just want to start up right away!
