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

BOMO I am glad that you are starting to get your head around things for yourself! I am sure the counselling is a real pain in the xxxx! And as much as I don't like counselling / -ors, I am glad that she has managed to help you get things in persepective a bit ... with everything going on, our wishes, the treatments, the emotional side, the physical side - it all quite quickly gets overwhelming and out of perspective!

Angie - I am so sorry that your journey has to end for financial reasons - it is so unfair! I swear, I wish I could win the lottery and then donate to help women who want and deserve to be successful with AC!! Please enjoy your mini break in Las Vegas and ... I am sorry for your DH and you, that you won't be able to have a joint mini!

Swepa - my deepest condolences to you and your DH! I am sure you will test when the time is right for you

AFM - had my U/S and bloodwork again this morning... lining is nicely built up at 14 mm ... follicle nice and swollen, ready to pop - so we are just waiting for the LH surge. Am curious to hear in a couple of hours, what my blood says... My CBFM has been on high fertility for several days now and I would expect to see the LH surge tomorrow morning. Depending on what my bloods say (if I ovulate today), we will be thawing tomorrow ... or if ovulation is expected tomorrow, then on Monday ... so it definitely looks like (hoping / assuming that they survived the freeze + thaw) transfer some time next week... Please pray for us that the embies are OK, develop well and that it is our time... I will update once I hear back re the bloods

:wave: Happy Friday everyone

 

[bubumaci]

Sooo... my LH is 60 and my E2 is 191 ... and the two frostembabies will be thawed tomorrow. Praying that they have so far and will survive the whole process and will proceed to develop nicely, so that we can have the transfer next Wednesday...

so exciting bubu GL!!

 

[Lindsay18]

Bubu- best of luck!!!

Angie- I am so so sorry that its over for you. I truly wish the $ wasn't so substantial!!! Have an amazing time in Vegas!!!

Swepa- I'm so sorry for your loss

AFM- finally in the last week of my 1st trimester. Started spotting again but again it's brown and since I still talk to my nurse from the clinic daily (we got really close) she told me no worries since its brown. I still hate it though. And since I have to wait 2 months for my next ultrasound it makes me worry. I just can't wait until I can start to feel him move!!!

 

[michelle01]

Angie - I am sorry that your journey has to come to an end; but Happy Belated Birthday! Enjoy your trip to Vegas and much needed drinks

Lindsay - Yay for almost being done with your first trimester! I am sure the spotting is no big deal!

bubu - Good luck; hope all goes great and you will be PUPO soon

Yay for peach week and almost the end of first trimester!!

I can understand about the spotting.. After the episode I had last week I am down to spotting brown now and I just want it to end... Doctors say not to worry but anything out of the ordinary makes me nervous!!

 

[wantbabysoon]

bubu - Good luck!

Never - I am so sorry but I hope you can relax at your vacation!

 

[wantbabysoon]

AFM, I am still having some spotting but trying not to think about it too much... DH and I have decided that we will go for the repeat NT scan next wednesday and after the ultrasound we will tell the doctor we are not comfortable doing the bloodwork as I have read a lot of cases of getting false positives with vanishing twin... I am just a huge worrier and I don't wanna do amnio so I will unnecessary be extremely stressed till the 20 week scan...

 

[Lindsay18]

Want- glad to hear the spotting is subsiding. You must have been a nervous wreck. No need to make yourself more nervous xoxo!!!

AFM- got a call from the geneticist and all my bloodwork came back totally normal from my first trimester scan yay!

 

[Jenn76]

Mobaby: Sorry to hear AF is causing havoc, I really hope she shows up this weekend and you don't get delayed. That seems like a long time for that lab to close. I can understand a couple weeks at Christmas but more then a month is crazy!

Swepakepa: Sorry to hear about your loss. I can totally understand your wanting to wait to test. FX that you do get your BFP this cycle.

Azlissie: You have a hard decision, it's great that you have time on your side. Do you know the stats for your clinic IUI vs IVF for your age? Have they done additional testing on you to see if there is something that was missed? What about other clinics? If you did do an IUI could you not take OPK's to see when you ovulate and go in that day? You've come to far to not get your BFP, you deserve to be a mommy!

Angie: Happy belated birthday! So heartbroken to hear you can't continue. That is a lot of money so I completely understand. I hope you have a fantastic vacation in Vegas.

Stinas: I've had headaches since starting stimming until last week, so frustrating. I hope yours doesn't last.

Pink and Lindsay: Congrats on hitting 13 weeks, sweet tiny little peaches.

Bubu: So happy to hear you are starting your FET. Your frosties are in my prayers.

Lindsay: Sorry to hear the spotting is back. I totally understand your frustration I would feel the same. I'm sure the nurse is right and everything is fine. Two months between scans sucks, mine is the same this time I'm half way there now. Great to hear your bloods came back normal, congrats!

Want: Glad to hear your bleeding is coming to an end. Hopefully the rest of your pregnancy is easy sailing. Good Luck at you scan next week. I think you made the right decision.

 

[Pink gerbera]

Bubu - Yey for gearing up for your FET! Good luck. Keeping everything crossed!!

Lindsay and want - sorry you are both experiencing spotting. I'm hopeful it's nothing. I honestly think we'll worry till we're holding the babies in our arms! It's so tough to just relax and enjoy it! Although like you said Lindsay maybe once we feel them move it'll be more reassuring!!

Pink xx

Sorry you are still having spotting as well. I think you made a very good choice about the second part of the testing. Make sure you are firm with your decision and don't let them trick you into the testing.

 

[azlissie]

Want & Lindsay, so sorry about the spotting. After all this work to get the bfp it would be nice to just relax & enjoy the next nine months!

Bubu I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your embies. I'm really hoping this fet will be the lucky one!

Angie I'm so sorry it's not going to work out for you to do a donor cycle. I really appreciate your support & if I decide on another round of ivf I'll definitely talk to you about your meds! I hope you & DH have a good time in Vegas!

Afm no AF yet but I think she's on her way so I'm going to make an apt to see my re on day 3. That way I can jump right in with another iui if that's what I decide I want to do.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Hi guys - had lining check and blood work this morning. FET is scheduled for Wednesday! My lining is 15. Unfortunately, in the beginning of the cycle they switched me from taking estrace orally to taking it vaginally which means that I can't do the progesterone suppositories. I have to do the injections. I have to run out soon to pick up the progesterone and syringes because my first one is tonight!

 

[Stinas]

bubumaci - YAY exciting!!!

Lindsay - I hope you are being a couch potato today!!!

notoptimistic - Sooo sorry you have to do PIO. I HATE them! Just a little tip....do not ice the area and before switching to the injection needle, warm the tube under running hot water, then change needle to inject. It helps it come out easier.

Speaking of PIO.....changed cheeks today, well I guess i went right into the bruise because once I took the needle out, out comes squirting blood. lol Yummy.

 

[MoBaby]

I hope I dont have to do progesterone IM!!! I cant handle it!! Stinas: That sounds horrid! EEK!!
Not: Why did they change your estrace to take it vaginally?

I just picked mine up!! Should start it tomorrow morning!! I'm assuming its oral since it says take twice daily.

 

[Stinas]

Mo - Its pretty gross and painful. The nurse told me today that if estrogen is low even while taking all 3 pills, she would have to put me on the vaginal ones too(bloods came out fine so I dont) so I am guessing thats why she has to do it that way.

 

[bubumaci]

Not - how exciting - we will be having FET the same day (if my little ones survive the thaws)
