IVF until we all get our bfp! 2012-present *13 w/twins & 1 w/triplets!*

[bubumaci]

Hey Andrea - I don't understand... wouldn't mature follicles be perfect for the trigger, so they can harvest the eggs?
Big Sweetie!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Not doing IVF just medicated unassisted so if I got pregnant could be way too many babies like Octomom

 

[bubumaci]

Ooooh, I understand. I am so sorry - I totally understand how devastated you must feel

 

[almosthere]

Hi Ladies-is it okay for me to join??? I am going to my second FS this Wed-still unsure if DH can attend due to work. This apt. is very important, as we are signing all legal papers to start IVF and to get BCP starting date and IVF treatment dates. I am very excited, but still wondering how many to fertilize....Anywho, I think we will be starting BCP Aug/Sept, & IVF for Sept/Oct! We are due to fly to another country to see DH's family in end of DEC so we hope to bring good news in person!

Some background info: DH & I are both 23 years old & today is our 5th year wedding anniversary. We have been ttc since Sept. 2011. He wants 2 babies and I want 3! Uh oh! We have not told our family about ttc. We debated telling our parents for support and help during IVF, but for now, want to keep a secret if possible as we both want to be able to surprise family with IVF if a success!

My CD3 tests came back normal, I got a very painful ovarian cyst but did not need surgery, I do ovulate, but my cycles are very irregular with lots of spotting after dtd in my tww...

DH got two abnormal S.A....very low mobility, and low sperm count-although second S.A came back more hopeful than the first. He is due for a scrotal U.S soon-who knew those existed?!

Hoping we all get our BFPS soon hugs to all!

Welcome almosthere! I haven't told my family at all... They wouldn't be supportive It's great you know they would provide support for you

 

[bubumaci]

Hi almosthere :wave: Welcome!
It's such a relief when you can finally start and be doing something
We have told many in my family (only parents in DH's family), as my family have always known how much I wanted to have children. On the one hand - they are very supportive and keep their fingers crossed. On the other, it is quite stressful keeping them updated and when the transfer was unsuccessful last month, I found it very trying having to tell everyone.

Been a bit quieter about the transfer this month, because it is just too much to tell everyone and hard, if the news isn't good (even though they are really supportive then too)... Hopefully, the blood test tomorrow will give me reason to spread some good news

It really is up to you - if you feel that you will get support and feel comfortable about it - but be careful not to put yourselves under too much pressure

Today went well we transferrd two, one full blast and one early blast. He said I have about a 60% chance so I am feeling positive.

Kelly: How was your scan?

BOMO: Good Luck tomorrow. The spotting could be from implanting. FX for you to get a BFP!

Bubu: That's shitty that it could be covered if it were you, so frustrating!! Good luck tomorrow!!!! Thats great that you are feeling things. FX!

Andrea: Sorry to hear that, this is such a rollercoaster. Here I was crying over not enough and I guess the opposite can be bad as well. I am guessing it's because they fear multiples? Silly question if you were to try naturally not wouldn't you have a better chance? Probably don't want a jon and kate plus 8 situation though.

Almosthere: Welcome!! Sorry to hear you are stuck on this wild ride with us. It's great that you got diagnosed so quickly, my doc want to wait 1 year of trying and then months to get into the specialist. Good Luck.

 

[bubumaci]

Glad to hear that things went so well for you Jenn I have been waiting to hear how it went!

True, financially - but my DH did say, that as long as we can get some to do ICSI, the chances that the rest will work, since I am healthy, ought to be higher... So I guess I do prefer it this way...

Do you think that what I am feeling could be something?!?! *hope*

 

[angels2012]

Jenn, Congrats with the transfer!

I am enjoying being a princess/couch potato post transfer! The Olympics has been a good distraction.

I have to wait 16 days for Beta, Aug 15th. I think I'll struggle with this wait. I"ve been enjoying the olympics as well, good thing since it is all that is on. Except Big Brother, I do enjoy the drama with that as well. That plus I have the third book in the 50 shades series to occupy me.

When is your beta?

Yeah I agree I am glad it is male factor for me as well, Just hoping this sticks. I feel worse for the unexplained fertility I was happy when they gave us a reason.

I read the second chapter of what to expect when you are expecting last night where it lists all the symptoms you may have in early pregnancy. So I am prepared, however I may just manifest the feelings anyway. But it did say that most moms just know and no tests are needed. Let's hope your body is speaking to you like that.

 

[angels2012]

Jenn, my beta is on 8/7. Why do you have to wait 16 days?

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I'm gutted....but DH said well we are going to BD an not take pills...he says "whatever is meant to happen will be" sooooo I'll be doing OPK and ovulating naturally who knows how many will actually drop I duno what else to do...so we'll just play it as it goes I just WANT ONE BABY Who knows but my tube is "too small" to catch eggs from what the doc told us I duno if its too short or just too narrow but since thats a factor I don't think I'd catch more than one so why not JUST TRY sooooo we are LOL.....FX for you all! I'll be stalking you!!

My 8 follicles that are mature I just want ONE of you to fertilize LOL

 

[Kelly9]

Andre so sorry but I hope you catch one all on our own, wouldn't that be amazing!

Jenn, do I keep missing your updates? Have you had transfer yet?

Welcome to (forget name alread) but welcome! and Good luck!

bubu yay for beta so early!

drs hi!

afm: Scan went well baby is measuring ahead at 6+2, saw yoke sac no heartbeat yet but there is no way I can be further along then 5+6 at the most so it's likely my floppy uterus thats all lazy and lax from being pregnant just 6 months ago. I had a big uterus with Hannah to. Another scan in 11 days, should see HB by then. My 21dpo beta was 6789! Doubling every 36 hours which is fab and yes there is only 1 in there

 

[MoBaby]

Congrats Kelly!!! Awesome

 

[angels2012]

Is is not normal to get pictures of the embies? I asked and they said they no longer do it because they think that moving the embies to a special photo scope and light may affect the embies in a negative way..... I am not sure I believe that.... What do you ladies know/think?

 

[michelle01]

That is awesome Kelly!!!

Yay on your transfer Jenn!!

Still waiting on AF.....why is it that when you want her to show, she doesn't

Hmmm this lady has ALL TOO MUCH IN COMMON WITH ME.....and she got ONE baby from 5 follicles what to do what to do.....how many of you have given yourself the HCG after an RE told you not to? I'm CURIOUS!

 

[oneof14]

Hello ladies, I've been MIA, just returned from a much needed vacation from Napa/San Fran. Loved it and DH and I reconnected and there was NO baby talk!

Kelly, yay - so excited for your progress!

Andrea, sorry about the cancelled IUI, but I would do the same thing if I were you. Good Luck!

AFM, nothing much going on still on BCP and started Lupron yesterday. I am hoping I have a much better experience this time around w/the IVF and everything goes as planned!

Sorry If I left some of you out, I will have to read through all the posts!

 

[Kelly9]

I haven't done that but if you have it why not? I think I'd be very temped in your case as well. Have you had the trigger before? Do you know how you reacted to it?

I got a picture every time but I've heard some clinics don't do it.

 

[MoBaby]

Andrea my friend had 5 follicles and 1 baby... I would not give yourself the trigger. I have seen women get ohss from not listening to their docs and triggering on their own. It's a risk you take but if I were in your shoes it would be a tough decision for me not to trigger
