Honey: Sorry to hear you had sever OHSS, I'm sure you will get your BFP without having to go through that again. As to testing everyone is different, I got my BFP 5 days after my transfer but many get it later then that. If you do decide to test early just remember that it could be negative because of early testing and not to get discouraged by that. I'm assuming since you did a FET you didn't take HCG so if you do get a positive early you will know it is a true positive. Can't wait to hear your results, FX for you!

Jenn, thank you so much for your post . It was very reassuring
woah...a BFP 5 days after transfer. I wouldnt dream of it. I wont dare to test so early, I wont have any hopes of seeing a positive . And I have seen enough of those negative lines. I dont have any hCG, so atleast i know it would be a true positive.

I have been experiencing severe fatigue when i am up and about. A tightness in my chest and abdominal area. Not really where my uterus should be, but high above. Also i find myself falling short of breath too often, even just by talking. Is that normal after ET. Should i be worried?

P.S : ET was on 20th.

Fatigue is a good sign many of us had that as a first symptom. I had a tightness in my abs, kind of like I did a bunch of situps. I didn't experience a tightness in my chest though. The shortness of breath could be related to the tiredness. I think I'd mention it to your RE just to see what they say. Let's hope it's just those embabies implanting.

Honey - Good luck with you FET!

Mrs C - Hope you get your answers today at your appt!

Lindsay - Good luck with your scan!

Swepa - Yay for ET; good luck during your wait

Want - Hope your bleeding slows down.

az - You have so much will power; I would have caved and tested

WOW Stinas; you sound like you need a break

Hope everyone else is doing great

I am still in some pain, but the anti-inflammatories help and a heating pad. I did manage to workout today, just took it easy. So I think within the next week I will be OK! I have my acu consult tonight; excited and so nervous. And my blood draw to start lupron is Wednesay...only 2 days away

Sorry to hear you are still in pain, but glad to hear it is improving. Good luck at your consult. Congrats on starting Lupron. Is this a new protocol for you?

Want - Good luck with your scan.x

MrsC - Hope your appointment goes well.x

That's great news! So nice that you had another scan so soon, when is your next one?

 

[TwoRdue]

Hi Jenn, I now have to wait four weeks for my 12 week scan but I think it will go fast. How are you doing?

Hello ladies...

I have been stalking this thread on and off since my first IVF cycle in May and FET in July. Thanks for all of your support through my failed cycles... I finally got a BFP with my second fresh cycle.. lets hope the little bean sticks!

Honey.... I read a few of your posts.. you mentioned you had severe OHSS. i had mild OHSS.. it was very uncomfortable. One thing the doctor said to look out for was rapid weight gain, pain in the abdomen, severe bloating and shortness of breath. i was worried about you when i heard you are short of breath and have trouble talking at times. I would highly suggest calling the doctor if your symptoms continue. I was miserable..and mine was just mild. I can't imagine how you are feeling. Sending baby dust your way and hope you get your bfp!

xoxo

Thanks again ladies for all of your support through out my cycles! xoxo

Thank you!... Sorry to hear you still have pain, i'd try to relax and limit the working out.. good luck!!

Mrs C - thank you so much for your lovely thoughts and wishes. 4th of Nov seems to be a long way. I hope I can hold off testing till then. It is going to be difficult. Lucky i dont have any HPTs with me. So i cant test anyways unless i get my hands on one.

Goodluck to you too. Im sure your bubs will be fine. These tests quite often cause more worry than is necessary. Your bubs are in my prayers.

getting brrody - thanks for your wishes. How early can i test if i want to see a positive. I do not want to see another negative, but im not sure if i can hold off testing before my beta.

praying4 babies - thank you for your wishes.

Jenn76- thank you so much for your lovely wishes and prayers

Lindsay18- thank you so much.

Swepakepa3- thank you so much and lots of sticky baby dust to you too. FX for your beta. Would you test before OTD?

almostthere - thank you

mobaby- it is quite a relief to know i have 12 frosties, esp given that i had the most sever case of OHSS and wouldnt want to go through stims again.

azlissie - thank you for your warm prayers and wishes. good luck for a BFP.

Pink gerbera - thank you so much.

Stinas - thanks buddy and good luck for your transfer. Fingers crossed for your little embie. praying that he thaws beautifully. you do have a crazy schedule girl!

Yes, I will prob test early, I can't wait that long....I will try to wait as long as possible... I am hosting a Halloween party on Friday so that will have most of my attention until then, then a birthday party on Saturday and working on Sunday so that leaves me until Monday so we shall see.

Want - Good luck with your scan.x

MrsC - Hope your appointment goes well.x

So happy your scan went well Lindsay!

AFM~ I had my appointment today and the babies are looking good. I have a scan with a perinatologist on the 2nd. Everything seems great though.

 

[drsquid]

i dont think you can get ohss from a FET. there was no stim of the ovaries.

Oh.. i didn't realize it was a FET... that's what I get for jumping in mid thread without reading previous pages. oops!

 

[Pink gerbera]

Mrs C and Lindsay - Yey I'm so glad your scans went well yesterday. I had one yesterday too. They were trying to measure the nuchal to test for DS. She was scanning for overscan hour as one baby wouldn't keep still making it tough to get the measurement! Still all looked great, I get official results in about 2 weeks.

Want - ill be thinking of you today. Keeping everything crossed that everything is ok.

Pink xx

 

[honeycheeks]

TwoRDue - yay for the beautiful scan

jenn - for me i think the loss of breath may be from fatigue. And it really feels like someone punched me really too hard in my tummy or like i did a million sit ups. I hope it is a positive sign then.

Annette - OHSS was terrible. But this is an FET for me. So i dont think i cant get OHSS. Thank you so much for cautioning me though. wish you a happy 9 months.


goodluck swepakepa. Praying that all the halloween fun is followed by a lovely BFP

 

[GettingBroody]

Annette - congrats on your bfp!!! When are you due?

Lindsay & Pink - delighted your scans went well today!

MrsC - thrilled all looked well today. How are you feeling now?

Want - good luck today, will be thinking of you

Honey - I also felt like I'd done a hundred sit-ups! Fx'd it's a good sign!

Michelle - glad you're feeling a bit better. What did they decide was causing the pain in the end?

Afm, 8 week scan in an hour!

 

[GettingBroody]

Hey girls, just a quick one cos must fly to work. All looking great - measuring 8weeks 1day with a strong heartbeat and 1.67cm so more than double what it was last time.

 

[Jenn76]

Want: Thinking of you today, sending all my positive vibes your way. Good luck at your scan.

MrsC: Glad to hear everything looks good.

Lindsay: Congrats on a great scan, can't wait to see a pic.

Honey: Did you talk to your doctor? Maybe it's a reaction to progesterone or estrogen, assuming you are on those? Hopefully it is all great signs that your BFP is coming!

Broody: Glad to hear your scan went well.

Annette: Congrats on your BFP!

Pink: My baby "b" was being stubborn and wiggly too. It is so great to see them moving. They gave me results right there on the spot, are you waiting on blood work as well?

Swepakepa:

Two: I'm doing great thanks for asking. How are you?

On the first trimester thing, my local children and maternity hospital says it is 13 completed weeks. Week 14 is the start of the second trimester. I've heard otherwise so I think it depends on who you are talking to.

 

[MoBaby]

Mrsc: yay for great scan! Was the ob concerned at all?
Getting: glad baby is measuring on track!!
Annette: congrats
Lindsay and two: glad your scans went well!
Michelle: glad pain is getting better!

 

[michelle01]

TwoRdue - Great scan

Jenn - This protocol is the same as my first cycle, just increasing my follistum even more; the first cycle I was on 225iu and this time will be 525iu. I wasn't a great responder, so hopefully this will do the trick How are you feeling?

MrsC - Great to hear all is going good; at least you have some reassurance

YAY Annette!!! I am soooo happy for you!

Want - Good luck with your scan today!

Linsday - What a great scan

GettingBroody - Yay for a great scan too So many having good scans, gives me hope! They never really determined what the cause was; it was/is definitely my hip that is in pain, so with the anti-inflammatories and heating pad, it seems to help.

Hope everyone else is having a great day!

I went for my acu consult last night; WOW! It was such a great experience and had a treatment. I wasn't even worried about the needles; really after going through IVF, how could I be. He treated me all over; had them in my hands, leg/feet, abdomen, head, ears....just all over. Even put a heating lamp over my tummy He wants me to do a weeks worth of food journaling. He recommended herbs for me to take, but I didn't get them last night. Anyone else take any of these and do you recommend them?

 

[Lindsay18]

Hey everyone - finally a second to post the little one LOL These are my pics from my 12 weeks scan!
