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

[Stinas]

MrsC - I go for a scan and bloods on tuesday, so I should know then when transfer is! I am guessing a week or so from now...hopefully!

 

[MrsC8776]

So exciting! I hope all goes well on Tuesday.

Hi all, thank you for reminding me to think positively. I just got home from dinner with my mom, brother, and his family. I got to snuggle my nieces which always makes me happy.

I tested this afternoon and it was negative. I know it's still early (I'm 3dp5dt) but I'm really feeling like AF is coming. I'm going to try to not test again until Sunday and to believe it might have worked but also start looking at other options.

Not, I could keep trying with my own eggs but I've already done 4 medicated iuis and 3 ivf cycles plus the sperm for all 6 that I've paid for all completely out of pocket. My insurance covers nothing and its just me paying for all of it (on my teachers salary!!). As much as I hate to say money is a factor... It is. If using donor eggs could help me to be a mom more quickly, I'm ok with that (took a long time for me to get there, but now I'm ok with it).

I hope that makes sense.

Have a great night!

BOMO I'm staying positive for you! I've seen so many posts about ladies feeling like AF was coming when they got their bfp. I think it is good to stay realistic but also stay positive in the process. That makes sense in my head but I don't think it sounds the same when written out. Anyways, my fingers are crossed that this will be it for you.

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

That completely makes sense to me... I've been saying I'm cautiously optimistic. .
I'm so excited for your scan tomorrow!! Can't wait to hear what you're having!

bubu - an RE is called a Reproductive Endocrinologist here. I think like Michelle said, a saline sono is necessary at this point. They will be able to see the uterus (not just how they see on an ultrasound) and they can see if there are any polyps or fibroids that may be causing an implantation issue. Also have them run tests like NK cells, etc. To see if your immune system is not allowing the embie to implant. There is a ton of stuff you can do while staying at your clinic. I would look at RMANJ website and also CCRM of Colorado website and even have a free phone consult with CCRM to see what they would suggest. They are the worlds best fertility clinic and their statistics are better than any other. They would at least be able to guide you. Additionally, they also take international patients, and would have you monitor at a place near you, with you only coming to them from ER through ET. I highly suggest just taking a peek at it, because they will tell you that by now, they may be able to pinpoint the issue.

Thanks Jess - I had a quick glance at the sites last night. The last day or two, I have turned off the "Baby thinking" in my head - it was our anniversary on Wednesday and yesterday I had a bnb-free day... This weekend DH and I will have a chat and we will organise an appointment with our clinic. I will have a look at other clinics nearby (even though ours is the best in Europe!). Doing something international really isn't an option. We are paying for everything here out of pocket and that is expensive enough. I looked at CCRM and the prices... that, plus the travel - can't even think about it. We are also in the process of renovating / building. That plus the out of pocket costs we already have pretty much put us at our limits.

I am still confident that we are at the right clinic - but that possibly not enough tests have been done on me ... when they found DH's Azoospermia issue (and everything up until then had been fine with me), I guess they stopped looking. So that has to be the next discussion with our doctor.

None of the 3 embryos are going to make it. They are 8 cell but deeply fragmented and only have a 5% chance of making.

I am 41 and she flat out said Donor egg is our only chance

So this is it for us..We are done.

Sweetie - I am so sorry that none of them moved on I know you already have three children and you wanted one together with DH... it's so tough and I really feel for you ... and you are so strong

Ugh today was the worst ever. I had to take my cat for his yearly shots and to get something on his leg looked at. We ended up having to put him down due to a cancerous tumor on his leg. He was only three. Such a shocker and no way to be prepared for that. I just can't stop crying...

I am so sorry Linds that you have lost your furbaby When mine (a sweet doggy, 15 mos) was hit by a car, it was the worst feeling ever. It is just so unfair


Wishing everyone a happy Friday :wave:

angie-I am so sorry you are going through this!! it is so expensive- if only it was free like natural pregnancy right?!

Speaking of mula-I got my bill....only a bit over 2,000-so it seems like a good deal to me-my baby is worth every penny!! Then there is the egg freezing which is 86 a month that will cost over 1,000 by the time we try again-so the sooner we try, financially...the better!!! LOL!

Scan went WONDERFUL today, one strong little bean with a heartbeat measuring as a 8 week baby when my little strong bean is only 7. Official due date may 30th as I already calculated =) I also saw that my eggs collected was under average and considered good-so knowing this all worked even with a below average number of eggs, I feel so much more fortunate

hope all are well and hugs to those feeling down today

Great news! So glad to hear things went well and you have one strong little bean.

Its not that I want to give up Jenn, it's just too expensive we have spent so much already

Thank you all!

Sorry I was just thinking a second opinion would only cost whatever the visit fee is and if it was reassuring you could decide then. The financial aspect of this just sucks! I would be just devastated if we went for broke and never got success. It's so horrible. Praying you win the lotto.

Angie- I'm so so sorry

Today was really hard for me in dealing with being upset about my kitty, but I kept myself busy. It was also my first OB appointment and they didn't think I would hear the heartbeat on the fetal heart monitor but I did. That made my week a lot better. My first trimester scan is October 22nd so I'm excited about that

Hearing the HB is the greatest sound ever. You will be amazed on how big you boy is on that scan. Can't wait to hear.

Lindsay - We are so close in our dates... My first trimester scan is on Oct 24th!!!

Scans are so exciting, can't wait to hear about your too.

MrsC - I go for a scan and bloods on tuesday, so I should know then when transfer is! I am guessing a week or so from now...hopefully!

Good luck on Tuesday, FX for tigger soon.

I don't think most ladies that have failed cycles get AF for about 10 days. So maybe what you are feeling is preggo signs. You won't see a line until day 5 or 6 at the earliest. I'm hopeful this will be your BFP.

 

[almosthere]

mrsc I can't wait to hear about your scan!

linds-yay for hearing babies heartbeat-the most amazing thing in the world!!!!

 

[MoBaby]

Bomo: it's wayyyyyy to early for a positive!!! Don't count yourself out yet!!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Broody - I go in for my scan whenever my period gets here. She should be here either Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. I'm getting all of my pre-AF symptoms so she should be on time

Stinas - yay for starting soon!!!

BOMO - keep up with the PMA, you never know, it is still really early!

Lindsay - yay for hearing the heartbeat, I'm sure it feels amazing!

bubu - good luck with everything, I hope you guys can get some more answers!

MrsC - good luck, can't wait to find out the genders of your LO's!

 

[MoBaby]

I'm getting annoyed b/c its CD 16 and still no positive OPK.... I have had typical ovulation pains but no surge on the CB digi or anything near it I cant go by EWCM b/c thats never been a good indicator for me.. Oh well, guess if I don't O soon then my FET will be canceled I have bloodwork on Tuesday to be sure. Before IVF treatments, I would O normally on day 13-14.... sigh. Body never cooporates when you need it to!

 

[jchic]

MO - hoping you O within the next couple of days!!!

Linds - glad all went well at the obgyn's office. My scan is on Oct 30th so we are just a few days apart for that!

AFM - feel SO tired, am actually going to go home at 12 for the rest of the day. Also my left ear is completely CLOGGED. I read this is normal during pregnancy, but how freaking annoying! I cant hear!

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hi Everyone, Happy Friday! I'm sorry I was in such a cranky mood yesterday. I knew I might be I just didn't expect everything going on to impact how I was feeling about this so much. I'm in a better mood today, still don't know if I feel like this cycle worked but I'm more positive anyway. Thank you for listening to my whining. )

 

[almosthere]

Gl bomo!!

 

[almosthere]

afm super crampy like the cramps I had from right before ER-thinking it is from my first ultrasound sicne it was trasnvaginal...that wandy was HUGE and no DTS so it must have given me a rude awakening down there!!! I do still have plenty of fluid from ER so this is prob normal for cramps after us right?
