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

[MrsC8776]

I'm so sorry bubu. ... I'm still hoping you have some better news at your next blood test.
afm AF came and I'm super crampy. I have been passing clots.
I'm planning to back to the clinic after AF and ask if I can do an fet sooner.

Sorry to hear AF is being so rough. I think going back to speak to them is a great idea. Hopefully they let you try again sooner. You have waited long enough to have your embies back.

I had my baseline this morning...and already starting better this cycle with a total of 17 follicles! Last cycle I started with 13 which wasn't bad, but hoping this one is better all around. Maybe the acupuncture is helping after all!

Hope everyone is doing good today!

Great news!!

Good luck michelle!!

MrsC - Yay for almost 1000 pages!

AFM, I am excited as my hubby just agreed to a private gender scan and we will find out on 23rd Nov... little over two weeks!!

So exciting for you to find out!

want, we have a private gender scan that night too! WOOHOO!

You to jchic! I can't wait to hear what you ladies are having.

Michelle - yay for getting going. Got everything crossed for you!

Jhic and want - how exciting. I've been thinking of getting a private gender scan too! Do you think this sat (ill be 15 weeks) is too early?

Pink x

15 weeks might be a little early but it isn't unheard of. We found out at 16w5d the first time although the scan tech was a little unsure of baby B. Found out for sure at 19w5d. Hopefully they will be able to tell you.

Wow its chatty in here today awesome!

Hope everyone is doing well....I'm still a tad bit crampy but I do think I already ovulated sooooo we shall see if this "testing the waters with craziness" actually will work....I'm so nervous! Was anyone else as nervous as I am....I just cannot believe I did what we did....it doesn't seem real....just pray to God ONE of them catch!

Fx for you on this cycle!

Not, MoBaby, azlissie and one how are you doing?

 

[MoBaby]

Well, ultrasound tomorrow to check lining. Will let you all know how it goes.

 

[Stinas]

MrsC - I got the "older" MacBookPro because it has the disk drive. The new Retina Display one does not have one.

I am 100% Apple....have been since 2004. LOVE Apple!

Michelle - Great news!

Want & Jess - Cant wait to see what you are having !!!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Prayers Mo and Michelle awesome news

 

[azlissie]

So I'm afraid this is going to be a bit of a rant - I had a message from my re that they had to reschedule my appt until tomorrow. I'm worried because today is cd12 and I was hoping to get the go ahead to do the trigger tonight with IUI Friday afternoon. We're supposed to be trying the 36 hr gap this time but now it's going to be all messed up. I'm afraid I'm going to ovulate too soon now. And they called me 2 hrs before my appt time - talk about short notice. I'm just worried that this round is going to be a bust.

Hope everyone is having a good day!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

azlissie-- I will be praying that God has another idea in mind and that the new time might even be better to catch your eggy PRAYING hunny....don't give up....we can't do that I have faith it'll all work out just fine and work wonderfully

I hope that it isn't going to mess anything up. Maybe whats happening is happening for a reason. Fx for your bfp on this IUI. That is pretty horrible of them to call two hours before your appointment and move it. As a patient we aren't allowed to do that so why can they?!?

I was told 16 weeks, but I know people that found out at 13 so you never know.

That sucks, I hope everything works out. I'm sure your RE wouldn't risk this of it was a problem.

So not only 1000 pages now over 10000 posts. Here's to the next 1000, by then we will all be expecting and the front page will be full of BFP's!

 

[azlissie]

Does anyone have experience interpreting cheapie OPKs? I just did one and it's definitely not positive yet but it's getting there and I don't know when I might ovulate. If I'm going to ovulate before Saturday morning then there's no way I can do the trigger shot 36 hours in advance since I won't even have my scan until tomorrow afternoon. Can anyone tell me when they think I'll ov based on this test?? Thanks!

 

[MrsC8776]

I would say you still have a good few days. Do you have any past pics of OPK's from your own cycles? The challenge here is that you took clomid and clomid changes cycles. Usually makes them longer so thats a plus for you right now.

 

[almosthere]

Wonderful news michelle and want!!!

GL tomorrow mo!

 

[haj624]

bubu-im so sorry!!!

jchic i def felt a boy the whole time...i thought it was going to be 2 boys actually

 

[PollyJo]

I had another followup ultrasound and blood work today. The lining is great! between 12-12.7... the follicles are another thing- only 3 and very very sleepy even though I wake up against all my instincts to sleep on, early in the morning and feed 'em some high quality FSH. Only the 7 mm grew rather quickly to 10 mm, but the doc does'nt know if it will catch up. The others grew about 1 mm each, from 11.5 to 12.5 and 13.5 to14.5, just awfully slow and duh! The bummer is that my doc thinks they may be empty, and this will be an immense failure. She tells me if I cancel that will be fine, if I go ahead I should expect it to fail, or something to that effect. I have already pumped some $6000 worth of drugs into me, and today is day11 of the stims; still more pumping to go that I have trouble finding spots on me ...feel like a regular Folli-junkie
Sorry for the long winding rant. All I am looking for is a tiny glimmer of hope.
Jen- thanks for the understanding. I was wondering it took you longer than day 12 which the latest the docs like to trigger for good quality eggs (or so I read).

Michelle- am excited for you!
Andrea- Fx to a bfp
Mo- GL with the lining
Azlissie- hope everything works out for you! But don’t worry, I found some info that even if your LH triggers you will ovulate between 24-36 hrs, and that egg is viable upto 24 hrs. So you have anywhere between 2-3 days even on your own. But I believe some of the meds are we use, such as Lupron can suppress the LH surge from the pituitary upto a week.

Everyone- keep happy and chatty!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Polly if I were in your shoes I'd keep on finding pumping holes LOL....I ran out this cycle to and I only did 5 days of it!!! I poked one hole an hit a nerve an had to pull out an do another one and ANOTHER one....It will all someday soon be worth all the "pin cushioned holes" FX for you this cycle I pray that they take off and GROW FAST the next few days Sometimes the slower my RE says that they grow the more healthy they are Just a thought

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hi All. . . I hope everyone is doing well!
Azlissie. . . I’m so sorry they delayed your appointment. Hopefully everything will still work out when you go in tomorrow.

Michelle. . .great news!

Mobaby. . . good luck tomorrow!

Want and Jess. . . so excited to hear what you are having and see more scan pics!

Andrea. . . fingers, toes, and everything else crossed that this is it for you!

Lindsay. . . are you back in school?

Honey. . . I hope they will let you move forward without waiting.

Stinas. . . how are you enjoying yor new toy? I’m thinking about buying myself an IPad for school.

MrsC. . . Are you feeling better? has your hubby got travel plans?

Polly. . . I’m sorry your follicles are being slow. Do you go back in for another scan soon or does your dr just want you to decide what you want to do now?

Drs. . . how are you feeling?

Haj. .. its nice to see you on here! I can’t believe how far along you are!! Yay!

AFM. . . I had a pap and cervical biopsy done today. Hopefully that will get me the go ahead and I can get going with this cycle wth DE. The coordinator told me they will most likely put it off until the end of January or beginning of February but when I saw my ob today she told me I should nicely push them to do it sooner. They are open 365 days a year and can most likely fit me in. We’ll see I guess.

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I wish DH would hurry up an get home my OPKs have NEVER ever ever been this dark...and my tummy is so bruised and its never bruised before...and my arse hurts to sit last trigger shot I had didn't hurt this one hurts like ever living He***** lol.....OUCH!

I hope you don't mind the pics as you can see left side of my belly is a lil bruised an my OPK's have NEVER been this dark even last cycle with trigger that I did...come on

Praying for all of our soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stinas]

BOMO - I say get it!! Its the best!

Andrea - My belly was a little bruised like that too!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Hi ladies!!!!

Bomo...I have to go for a biopsy as well...along with a saline sonogram. once all the test come back saying I have the green light I can move forward with my FET....Time is precious for me as My counts are at 20 and it still has to go to 0....Im here for you with my Fx .....Im certain all will turn out perfect for the both of us.

Mo...good luck tomorrow

Michelle..awesome and positive news!!!!

Lindsay...Jchic...Want....Stinas...MrsC...hope you are all doing well ....xoxo

 

[drsquid]

want- yay for finding out, hope baby cooperates

bubu- im certainly happy. not just for the president but also the number of women who were elected and the rather liberal social issues that passed/

pink- if it is a boy then you can generally be pretty sure at 15 weeks. girls are iffier, no one wanted to 100% say girl on mine til like 16-17 weeks

andrea- fingers crossed.. waa i lost my ivf crazy bruise photos when i had some phone issues.

az- sorry that sucks. fingers crossed

 

[Pink gerbera]

Thanks girls maybe ill wait another week for my gender scan!

Polly I'm sorry your follicles are being slow. Why does the RE think they are empty? I'm wondering how they can tell. I hope you're not feeling too disheartened.

Azlissie that would have made me soo mad to have an appt cancelled at the last minute. I think if the 36 hour trigger can't work out now then you should be talking to them about giving you a free go seems as its their mistake!

Hope everyone else is good. Yey for making 1000 pages!!
