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

[MoBaby]

swepakepa: looks like we will be cycle budies. I am doing FET on nov 12. My 4th transfer (sigh) and obviously hoping FET is just what my body needs. I'm nervous as hell, but guess it is what it is. No obvious reason for IVF failure. Do you have an approximate ER date?

 

[Swepakepa3]

Slightly different schedules unless u meant October 12...... I'm Hoping to transfer the week of October 16th but we shall see... Getting slightly crampy now so maybe she is on her way after all

 

[Lulu 07]

Hey ladies!! I hope everyone is doing well! I'm not home right now so I will do personals when I get home. I just wanted to update my beta which I ended up doing yesterday instead of waiting for Monday. It came back at 312 and I think my RE is considering it 14 do instead of 15dpo since my embryos were a day behind at transfer. My next beta will be on Tuesday 10/2 and my first scan will be in about 10 days or so. I can't wait!!!

 

[drsquid]

stinas- thanks =) i slept on it and i feel better.

j lo- yeah i thuoght it was pretty known she did ivf despite her denying it. just like i dont believe beyonce actually was pregnant.

jenn- that sucks about the ob. mine is seeing me thursday even though it is an admin day for her cause it is the only one that worked for me. mine has done a quick scan at each appt to check for heartbeats etc even though she knows i scan myself all the time,.

bomo=- feel better *hugs*. and yay for almost trigger.

prayin-a good progesterone is whatever your docs wants it to be. many want it to be 20. are you supplementing?

ob- i switched right away cause i have insurance taht covers the ob not fertility. so i was tired of paying out of pocket. the fertility doc didnt like that but i told him he could do a free us... so he said ok just let me know what the ob says.

two- that is a mighty high progesterone.,.. usually more of a sign of multiples than high hcg

drsquid - I did not know that, I have my first scan on the 18th yay so cant wait ...

 

[drsquid]

lulu- congrats

twor- cant wait to see

 

[bubumaci]

ooooh... BOMO... good luck

 

[Pink gerbera]

Drsquid - why don't you believe beyonce was pregnant??

Lulu - congrats

Xx

 

[drsquid]

there was just a lot of shady stuff going on. the bump that folded in half, the weird level of security etc. i think she used a surrogate

 

[GettingBroody]

BOMO - that's great that your dates are working out for you!!

Bubu - good luck with ET today!! Can't wait to hear how many they put back!

Swepa - Oct 16th will be here before you know it!

Two - congrats again!

Mo - hope you are doing okay

 

[bubumaci]

Thanks Getting! I have requested two - we have to fill in all the forms / sign all contracts etc. and return them the day of our first u/s once we have started stimming. Originally, I had written three (due to our lack of success in the previous tries), but the doctor convinced me to put 2 back. So, unless all but one have continued developing, we are getting a transfer of 2 ...

I can't wait to hear / see how they are doing. I find it almost nail-biting to not know until I am in the room right before transfer. I am not sure what I find better - not knowing at all, or being able to follow the LO's progress...

 

[drsquid]

bubu- i had to do crazy amounts of paper about what i wanted done with the embryos etc but as far as the number... i got to pick that based on how they looked

 

[bubumaci]

Hey Dr - unfortunately, I don't have that luxury. We have to fix the number beforehand. I would like the luxury of saying : 2 if we have really good ones, but 3 if they are not so good ... but I don't. They have the forms and based on what is on them, they prepare the embies for transfer and they do the transfer. This is a shame because if I have for example one blast and two morula (and the other 2 are even less), they would pick the nicer looking morula and transfer those two - all other 3 which have come to today get thrown away...

We shall see ... said the blind man

 

[drsquid]

bummer

afm- paid extra to get 2 day amnio results. then didnt check my cell phone..got an email today saying i missed a message friday saying everything is normal and it is indeed one of each. there is still a theoretical chance of translocation or mosiac abnormality and those results will come back in 2 weeks.

 

[bubumaci]

Ahhh - glad to hear that everything is OK
What does translocation / mosiac abnormality mean?

 

[drsquid]

it is the far less common types of genetic abnormalities where instead of a whole extra chromosome you have extra bits of one swapped onto a different chromosome. mosaic is when some cells are normal and others are not. wiki on downs with info about both https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_origins_of_Down_syndrome

Just got my beta back and it's just over 1000 at 18dpo Yay and progresteron is 110 so I can now ween of the pessaries. Next bloods in a week and first scan on the 18th. So excited!!!!

Congrats on the great beta! Excited to hear if it is one or two.

I saw the bump fold on YouTube, Pink google it, totally worth seeing. I agree fake pregnancy. Now with JLo I'm not so sure if she did IVF, it burns me if she did and instead of just denying it went on to say it wasn't within her beliefs. And I know she didn't out right say that she doesn't agree with IVF, that it just wasn't for her.

Slightly different schedules unless u meant October 12...... I'm Hoping to transfer the week of October 16th but we shall see... Getting slightly crampy now so maybe she is on her way after all

So close I'm so happy for you!

Glad to hear your results were good.

 

[bubumaci]

Dr - I have an Aunt with Downs, so it is something I am familiar with. She is actually one of the most loving and kindest people I know!
I find it shocking, how quickly people with Downs seem to age! She is 56 now and had to have her hip operated several years ago - the surgeon said that her bone age was more comparable to a little old lady over 70!

Thanks for the link, I will take a look

 

[almosthere]

hmm interesting about beyonce-the bump that folded in half?! hahaha! I saw when we revealed her bump during some awards show it seemed kind of tacky! lol

glad all are well...so many exciting things going on right now for everyone!!! trigger, er, et dates being set, waiting first second and third scans, yay!!!

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Good luck bubu!!
