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

[DaisyQ]

Hi all - sorry I'm so not "posty," but it's just so hard to keep up with this thread. I do check in from time to time, but can't seem to keep up.

Anyhoo - Never, I'm sorry that happened - happend to me too my first IVF cycle. I switched from BCP to estrogen priming protocol and had a much better response. GL with your IUI and I hope if you have to do another IVF it all works out much better the second time around.

Awe thank you. When do you transfer your babies back?

Hopefully August 22nd... it's so nervewracking as the date approaches. Thanks for asking though. And I TOTALLY am thinking of them as my babies already, which is trouble...

michele- you on lupron? i had a 2nd period a week after the first. apparently it is from the thin lining

kelly- yay

oneof- your sizes sound good to me. they dont want them to grow too fast

lindsay- told ya it isnt that bad. fingers crossed for your fert report

eoe- im sorry.. i just read real quickly through 7 pages *hugs* and good luck to you all

May have spoken too soon lol, Squid. Super sore and can't get comfortable. They gave me Tylenol with Codeine and it's not doing anything. Does it get better the day after retrieval??? Hopefully?

Michelle- if it's still bad tomorrow I definitely am. Tylenol works on headaches for me. Not this!! Haha. I had a pretty high pain tolerance but I'm not going to e a hero by any means! I'll see how it is when I get up tomorrow.

Lindsay, I felt SO much better 2 days after retrieval. The day after I was still pretty sore. But I also had only 12 eggs retrieved, and so your recovery might take a little longer because I bet your ovaries are more enlarged. Hang in there. LOTS of gatorade!

 

[Stinas]

Lindsay - I agree with daisy...with all those eggs you will probably be sore a couple days longer than average. Drink a lot!!

Daisy - aug 22 is right around the corner!!

Tom morning is our transfer!!! I'm excited and nervous.
I hope this is it!
Any tips for after et? I will be home lounging the rest of the day. Sunday I have decided to go to church with dh. Then probably taking it easy the rest of the week.
When do you think the trigger is gone and I can start testing? I took it last sat.

 

[teapot]

Good luck Stinas, I'm on the way to mine now too. I have to go straight to work after tho, but will take it easy - I will ask the nurse to make sure it's ok, but I can't think why it wouldn't be.
Will hopefully have a lovely relax this evening & tomorrow.

Hi to everyone else, hope you all have a lovely weekend. xx

Lindsay18 - Great news, 21 eggs is wonderful! Can't wait to hear how those embies are going

ShortyA22 - hoping your next cycle works for you!

wantbabysoon - good luck for your ER!

4everyoung - sorry to bear you only have 1 follicle Big I hope your next scan shows that the other 2 have caught up.

Kelly9 - huge congrats, you must be so relieved to have heard the heartbeat!

michelle01 - I know the feeling of being bloated

never2late70 - good luck for your iui today!

ksluice - grow embies grow!

Stinas - good luck for your transfer tomorrow! I think it depends on what trigger dose you had, do you know what trigger and dose you had? You could always do a test now to see if it is out of your system and keep testing until it is negative

teapot - good luck for you ER!

So I'm feeling a little down because the doctor said this treatment (Lupron & Gonal-F) would be more aggressive, yet I've only produced one egg so we're going from an IVF to an IUI (unless, by some miracle the two other emerging eggs are viable by tomorrow morning). I am a little sad. This cycle has been harder for me than the other two I did last fall (Gonal F and Menopur)--I've been anxious and weepy for weeks (not to mention that I started on the pill and bled for 20 days straight feeling bloated the whole time!). I've gained 7 lbs since starting the Lupron (I log my food daily, so I know it's not from emotional eating), and I'm feeling generally big, uncomfortable, and sad.

I've been one to go with the flow with my previous IUI and IVF attempts, but somehow this one feels more disappointing, and it hasn't even happened yet. Hubby has 100% abnormal morphology, and I may be wrong, but I believe this will adversely affect an IUI.

At any rate, I don't like over-thinking it, but this has been so unpleasant from the shots (they seem worse this time) to the drives in for my blood work and ultrasounds. I will know more tomorrow, and I will try to get my head back to a good place, but I just needed a place to sort of say all of this (and my facebook page did not seem to be the place! LOL).

Thanks for being here. xx

try to think positive you will be a mommy one day.

Lindsay - I agree with daisy...with all those eggs you will probably be sore a couple days longer than average. Drink a lot!!

Daisy - aug 22 is right around the corner!!

Tom morning is our transfer!!! I'm excited and nervous.

The transfer was easy I went back to work. I did a hpt on the day of my transfer and it was faint. Trigger was gone within 9 days for me. I did a full 10000 dose. I started testing two days after transfer mostly waiting for trigger to leave. I started getting a positive on day 5 after 5 day transfer. Good luck with your ET!

Good luck Stinas, I'm on the way to mine now too. I have to go straight to work after tho, but will take it easy - I will ask the nurse to make sure it's ok, but I can't think why it wouldn't be.

Hi to everyone else, hope you all have a lovely weekend. xx

Good luck Teapot! You will be fine to work I did.

 

[michelle01]

Stinas - Good luck with ET!

4everyoung - How did your scan go? Sorry for what your going through

I went for my appt, just waiting for the results. I have had no more spotting and they did not seem concerned. I have one very large follie on the left causing discomfort. Hopefully I trigger tonight.

 

[Lindsay18]

Michelle- so glad! We were all worried for you glad the nurse doesn't seem concerned! So excited for your trigger!!

Ladies- my nurse just called! 18 of the 21 were mature and 14 were fertilized! If everything goes well I will be transferring on Thursday

 

[MoBaby]

Yay Lindsay!! Michelle hope you feel better soon! Stinas good luck!!!

 

[DaisyQ]

Yay Lindsay and Stinas, wishing you sticky vibes today.

 

[never2late70]

The IUI went just fine. Now the dreaded TWW

Michelle: What were your results today? How are you feeling?

Congrats Lindsey at Stinas

Gotta run, getting a pedicure and eyebrow wax. Headed out to the casino today for lunch and some slots

Happy Saturday!

~Angie

 

[ashknowsbest]

Stinas - best of luck with your ET! I can't wait to find out you're pregnant

 

[oneof14]

Lindsey 18 is an awesome number!

Michelle, I so hope you trigger tonight.

Stinks, good luck.

4ever and never, good luck with your IUI's. Fingers crossed.

 

[teapot]

Yippee Lindsay - great fert rate. x

Michelle - glad the spotting has stopped & good luck with your trigger

Never - glad the IUI went well. Hope the 2WW flies!

afm, I have 2 x morula's/pre-blasts on board. hope they will bed in tight. They are a little slow developing apparently, but the consultant didn't seem overly concerned :/ I hope it will work out ok. The other 2 arrested, so nothing to freeze xx

 

[oneof14]

Yay teapot! Good luck.

 

[ksluice]

teapot! yay!! 2 wonderful morulas! I am with your FS, and I am quite sure that as they settle into their natural home, they will pick up steam and do great! Everyone just has their own pace.

stinas, waiting to hear your update

Angie, that sounds like its about the best post-iui plan I have ever heard! Good luck and have fun, and maybe those swimmers will get lucky too~

Michelle, i am so glad you got in to see the dr. and that things seem to be calming down. Pfew, sister

Lindsay, congrats on a wonderful fertilization rate!! I have an awfully positive feeling for you this cycle.

Welcome to PUPO! Sorry you didn't get some frosties.

Hi ladies

Yeah for six! Thats great news. When is your ET?

 

[Stinas]

teapot - Thanks! Good luck to you too!!!!!

TTB - I dont remember exactly how much it was. I guess ill just test in the am to see if its gone.

Lindsay - Congrats thats great news!!!

never2late - Good luck with the slots & the IUI of course!

ash - Thanks!! I cant wait to see yours too!!!

Pink gerbera - Great news!!!

almosthere - Yay for starting!!! woo hoo!!!

ET went well!!! We have 2 blasts aboard! Be patient with me because I still dont know all the perfect terms for the embryos.....one was a very nice 5 (1-5, 5 being best) and the other was a 1 that looks "great". Thats what the doc said....to me a one would be blah, but he seemed pretty confident about it. We are just grateful we have any. He said one more could go to freeze by tom and I should know by my apt on monday if it did.
Everything went smoothly....let the wait begin!
