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

[GettingBroody]

Az - that is such bad form of them to cancel, especially when you're so close to the end when timing is so important. My experience with opks is that they usually went positive within about 24 hours from when the line first appeared but everyone is different... Once a line appeared I always tested a few times a day so that I wouldn't miss the positive because it started lightening very quickly afterwards too. I agree with Pink that they should be giving you a refund/free try if the delay messes things up for you but I really hope that doesn't happen. Like others have said - some things happen for a reason so maybe this is your path to a bfp!!!

Michelle - yay for 17 follies! Great number!!!

Mo - good luck today!

Prayin - hope your numbers continue to fall

BOMO - fx'd you can get started sooner...

Andrea - good luck!!!!

Polly - Sorry things aren't working out as planned. Sending your follies lots of growing dust to give them a boost!

All you girls who have booked gender scans - yay!!!!! So exciting!!!

 

[drsquid]

i never got a pos on opks (well i did the one month before i started...)

bomo- im good thanks. getting big, lots of heartburn (but i refuse to stop eating ridiculously spicy food so...). and my new car is coming in the next few days =) cervical biopsy? did you have an abnormal pap>

 

[Jenn76]

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!

I think I triggered on day 12 they grow more after trigger. I know they say 17.5 for mature eggs but I've heard of others getting them out of smaller. I think I had 5 follies, one was empty so four eggs all mature but one didn't fertilize. I'm pretty sure not all were over 17.5mm. I think I'd proceed but I guess you should ask you RE what's best.

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.

FX for you to be able to start ASAP.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ouch! That looks like a good sign, hopefully no little one interruption last night. I feel a BFP coming soon.

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

Wow still not at zero, sorry to hear that. I hope you get to start soon.

Its funny though...im not at zero yet AF is here .....lol....my body is all messed up! Lmao...I go for blood and ultrasound tomorrow and then start my two weeks of bcp...booooooo..hate those dam pills...hehe

 

[michelle01]

Good luck today Mobaby!

Polly - Hopefully those follies catch up and you can keep things on track; remember it only takes one!

az - I hope that things work out for you with this cycle. I have no experience with OPK's on the cheapie tests.

Bomo - Hope all your tests go smoothly and you can start again!

Hi Haj! How are you doing?

Prayin - Hope your appt goes good tomorrow and you can get started. I think going through everything we do, it messes us up! It took 11 days on lupron this cycle for AF to show; so frustrating when you are waiting for her to show.

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

What kind of car did you end up going with drs? I had an abnormal pap over a year ago then a biopsy that was fine. I had to do a pap yesterday and my ob decided to do the biopsy just in case and to save time. I've had abnormal paps in the past with nothing showing up specifically as why they are abnormal and biopsies are always clear. My body is weird. Sorry you have heartburn. My sister in law had horrible heartburn no matter what she ate the whole time she was preggo.

 

[MoBaby]

Hey girls, I wanted to update here as well!

Went to my scan this morning.... so the U/S tech comes in and says I hope today is my day for endometrial lining scans because yesterday was not... Great that makes me feel so comfortable with her! Well, she scans a couple parts and finds the thickness part to be at 7.5mm, which the nurse said is good so scheduled me for Friday the 16th for the FET!!! But I am very worried about the scan because one measurement was only 6mm and the next was 7.5mm.. Well if she isnt comfortable doing the endometrial lining scans WHY the heck is she working at a fertility clinic?? I am worried she did it wrong or something. Ugh. She took pics so I am assuming my dr will read them and make sure all is fine and dandy.

I also just picked up my endometrin.... UMMMM $375 for 4 week supply! WTH??? My insurance doesnt cover them at all BUT if thats all i need to pay for meds then thats okay considering the meds are usually 3K!!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Prayers Mo I hope the doc does double check her work but at least you were comfy with her thats always nice

 

[Jenn76]

Kathy: It's great that you are getting started. It's funny how often BCP's are in the IVF protocol. Good Luck tomorrow.

Michelle: How are you doing?

BOMO: I hope your tests come back good, it must be frustrating to have abnormal paps for no reason.

Mobaby: I hope she did measure correctly, sounds frustrating. I'm sure your dr will review it. Congrats on getting a date, not long now!

Feeling much better thank you! Hubby still doesn't have flights. His company says they can't afford tickets right now. They say they can only buy one ticket a day. Multi billion dollar company and still no money. It's complicated though.

[azlissie]

Hello ladies! I'm on my phone so can't reply to everyone who answered my OPK question but thanks for your help! Had my scan this afternoon & I have 3 big follies on the right and one on the left. I'm going to do the trigger tonight and then IUI is scheduled for Saturday morning! This will be my 8th medicated attempt so really hoping it works!! If not I'm taking a few months off of this crazy ride. Hope everyone is doing well!

 

[MoBaby]

yay! good luck AZ!! FX for you!

Good luck!! Have you had this many follicles during past cycles? Fx this is it and you won't have to go through it again.

 

[Lindsay18]

Good luck Az!!

Kath- I can't believe you're not at 0 either! Hopefully really soon!!!

Mo- is the endometrin the suppositories???

 

[MoBaby]

Kinda, its the progesterone pills that go up in there... apparently the crinone (cream supps) do not work for a FET and I have to do 3 pills up there a day. Lovely. I have to figure out how to the mid day one done at work. I'm just glad I dont have to do the shots but I guess they will check progesterone with first beta and possibly change it

 

[Lindsay18]

I had them too. They're not bad. I would smuggle it to the bathroom like a tampon lol. I was asking because I have a spare box that I never used. There are 6 in there if you want them??

 

[MoBaby]

Yeah I do I have to pay full price! I can pay postage! I'll PM you.

 

[Lindsay18]

I got the postage no problem!! Just messaged you back

 

[drsquid]

bomo- got the cx5. it apparently arrived today but i was sleeping (worked nights last night). so ill go get it this weekend =) ah.. pita with the abn paps. i had one, then a biopsy then a leep but luckily the leep was normal (apparently they got everything on the biopsy) and since then all has been neg. fingers crossed for you
