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

bomo= a little low may be that they think they can keep you stimming and that they arent mature yet. shame you arent in the bay area i have a spare box of gonal. my friends have all been supportive of me doing it alone. i guess i mean... i see the wedding or engagement announcements pop up and that makes me sad sometimes. at least there are theoretically clear steps to work towards getting pregnant (not that it always works) but you at least feel like you have some control and are doing something.

Jenn - scan buddies!!

Bubu - I'm sending your little ones loads of growing dust! Fx'd you get that's our ET time today!

BOMO - I'm sorry your timing hasn't worked out but like you say there's not a whole lot you can do when your body has other plans! Good luck on Sunday!

DrS - sorry you're having a rough time with your "friend" Some people are seriously lacking in empathy

Have just realised there seems to be more of us who are pregnant now than ttc! This is a seriously lucky thread! Just think - if we'd all been born a few decades earlier none of us would have had this chance! Science is amazing! And I agree, when I was going through down-reg, stimming etc it was seeing all the success stories in here that kept me sane and positive! Sending buckets of baby dust to all those currently cycling/waiting to cycle - hoping to see loads more s soon!

Bubu: FX that they are all growing. Grow bubu's embries grow!

BOMO: My estrogen was slow to rise as well, my clinic wanted 750 per follie. Basically they said if they measure over 17.5mm and your estrogen level was at 750 x number of follies over the 17.5 then the eggs should be mature and viable. I had five so they stimmed me until my estrogen was over 3250. I only ended up with four because I think the nurse was measuring one of my dermoids. Increasing my med did the trick for me.

Dr: Before meeting my husband I had a bad dry spell where I couldn't meet anyone for years. I was convinced that I'd die as an old lonely cat lady. I was too afraid to try dating sites. I didn't get out much because I worked 12 hour days five days a week, varying shifts and days a week. I was miserable because I wanted that happy family life that all of my friends were getting. I made a huge decision to ask for a transfer back to my home which was half way across the country. When I came home I met my husband at my new work location. Had that not happened I think I would have tried a dating site.

Moral of the story is that it is super hard to meet someone so I understand how you feel. If it's really what you want I believe you will find it. Any cute single doctors where you work? I picture all hospitals as grey's anatomy, or ER...... LOL!

BOMO I think you are so strong and if it feels right in your heart, then it does not matter what anyone else thinks but you!!! I can't wait for you to get your BFP!!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

I think the girls that are doing it alone are amazing and strong! I think people have to do what works for them ... some people don't find someone and that's fine, it doesn't mean you don't have children! I support you girls 100%, I would be doing the same thing if I was in your position.

And you never know, you may find someone later down the road, someone who accepts your children and you!!

Have you girls ever seen back up plan ... I know it's a movie but something like that could definitely happen!

 

[almosthere]

That is the movie I was thinking about!! =) While ttc and even before I was obsessed over watching every baby/pregnancy movie and show

 

[Jenn76]

I was totally thinking of that movie too. Funny how Jlo did that movie but then shunned IVF and fertility treatments when people assumed she did IVF when she had twins.

 

[hiccups]

Hi ladies sorry i haven't been on here much.Trying to keep my sanity in this 2ww. Hope everyone has a good weekend

Good Luck tomorrow! I'm sure the number will be great and reassuring!

 

[MrsC8776]

Thank you all! I got a call from my nurse. . . She said my estrogen is a little low (does anyone know what it should be?) so I will go for my scan on Sunday but she is thinking I will stim until Monday (go for another scan) and then trigger that night. I had to call and rush order more Gonal-F from a pharmacy in NJ to be delivered here tomorrow. I wish the timing didn't work out like this because I hate taking more time off (I had to take 2 mornings this week). If things go like they are thinking, I will have to take a half day on Monday then the full day on Wednesday. Ah well, I can't help what my body does. )

Drs. . . I'm sorry you had to put up with that. I won't lie, it's hard for me to hear about people I know getting pregnant "by accident" or practically by breathing, but in here I love seeinging everyone's signatures change to show their BFPs because it gives me hope that it will happen to me as well. I agree with you about being there while others found someone and got married and everything. Luckily my friends are being mostly supportive of what I'm doing. Those who aren't, I'm not spending much time with anymore.

I hope your scan goes well tomorrow! Sorry that it isn't working out like you had hoped. Try not to let it stress you out. I'm sure everything will be just fine.

Hi ladies how is everyone?

Good luck at your beta tomorrow!

Phantom~ Did you tell the parents yet? I bet they were beyond excited!

I hope everyone is doing well! Its always so quiet in here on the weekends.

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Hope everyone is having an awesome weekend!!!

 

[almosthere]

twordue-I feel the same way-I bought a pregger test to take the day before my 3rd beta so I can see the line is getting darker to be reassured that yes I am in fact pregnant lol!

So wanted to go and do that this morning lol, with my last pregnancy I was sick from the word go, this is a really slow progress. I am constantly poking my boobs and there a little tender but now I wander if that is from all the poking haha

 

[bubumaci]

Hello ladies,
been a bit quiet today ... my DH and I and some friends play World of Warcraft and I am levelling like crazy to get to 90, so I can equip properly for when we start the raids again in November

Got my transfer time for Monday : 14:15 ... so now that I have a time, I guess we have something growing nicely enough for transfer FX'd that they keep on growing nicely ...
*grow minis, grow*

 

[MoBaby]

yay for monday transfer. FX this is it for you. Noone should have to experience a BFN when going through this process. You have had your share and I think its time for those little beanies to snuggle in! Is it possible they freeze more of the 7 of they make it to blast?

I just learned that my RE now pushes FETs b/c the success rate he is seeing is higher due to estrogen and progesterone levels during IVF cycle.... Wonder why he never suggested this to me?? I was reading an article he responded to last night. I am going to ask this at my f/u conference.

Sorry I havent been doing personals-- Im still a bit down/pissed off at the moment. But congrats on all your bfps over the past few days.

 

[almosthere]

2rdue my breasts are not sore at all

bubu congrats on having transfer soon! sooo exciting!
