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

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hi Ladies, this thread has been busy this weekend!

Congrats Not, I am SO happy for you!

Andrea. . . fingers crossed that this is your cycle!

Stinas. . . yay for your dh's meds coming soon!

Want, I am so glad the nurse said not to worry. Hopefully your little one will cooperate next week and we can find out what you are having!

Polly, Yay for triggering!

Mo. . . fingers crossed for your FET!

How are all my favorite pregnant people doing??

MrsC. . . I haven't been on much this weekend, did hubby get a flight?

AFM, after getting to pick out my donor on Friday I celebrated with a friend Sat. night. . . actually drank for the first time in ages and felt like poop afterwards! I got a call today saying I had been been approved both for the donor (and eggs were being put aside for me) and the Attain program I want to use for cycle. I was super excited until I realized I now have to come up with $34,000 in the next two weeks. Ack!!! I'm scrambling to figure this out. AF hasn't shown up but I feel like it will soon. I start taking BCP's on day 3 of my cycle then start lupron on December 2nd, have some blood work and ultrasounds in there then they have a thaw date for Jan 2nd with a transfer sometime between 1/5-1/7. I am thrilled because I will only have to take 1 maybe 2 days off of school so I won't have parents or my principal making any comments. However, I am freaking out because of the money! I already borrowed from my mom for the IVF's I did before that didn't work. I am now looking into loans for this one. I have to have it all figured out by this Friday.

bomo= yikes *hugs* good luck. but great to hear the ball is finally rolling. and yay for so few days off. i honestly felt better being distracted. i got straight on public trans after my transfer and you see how that turned out =) sorry you felt poopy. drinking always seems like abetter plan before and during... that being said... i miss being able to do it (though i dont actually feel like drinking. if that makes any sense). mind you i keep having dreams where im drinking and thinking.. hrm i dont think i was supposed to do that.

 

[wantbabysoon]

Mrs - the beta went fantastic - I am pregnant! Beta 915!

Wooo hoo!!

 

[azlissie]

Not, huge congrats!!! That is so exciting - that's a great beta!

Polly, yay for triggering! Good luck with ER.

Want, can't wait to hear about the scan!

Bomo, I can't believe you need $34,000 - that's so unfair. I can't understand why more fertility stuff isn't covered by insurance. I hope you can work everything out and get started soon!

Andrea, I'm hoping this is your bfp! Keep testing. Fx'd

Stinas, I really hope the meds will help. Any idea how long he'll have to take them before you know if they're working?

AFM, nothing exciting going on here - I'm only 2dpiui so nothing to report. Just eating my pineapple core and trying to think happy baby thoughts! Hope you all have a great week.

Still no travel. We are thinking tomorrow and a flight out on Wednesday.

Great news on getting approved for the donor and the Attain! Sucks about the money but I hope you can figure out a way to make it work. Not much longer and you will be PUPO on your way to a bfp!

 

[Stinas]

MrsC - lmao! I have been tempted to do a journal...just to get all my bitching out lol I need to come up with a clever title and ill do it.

notoptimistic - YAYYYYYY CONGRATS!!!!! I agree with the girls...thats a high number! Twins?

Polly - Yay for trigger!!! Good luck for wed!

azlissie - The doc said one month, then he will go in for a check up. I hear they need to be on the meds for like 3 months, but maybe i am wrong.

 

[MrsC8776]

I would love to follow your journal, bitching and all. Hmm a good title... I'll have to think about that one and get back to you. I'm sure you will come up with something clever though!

 

[Stinas]

MrsC - I am going to make one by next week. I have been off and on trying to think of a name.

 

[Pink gerbera]

Not - yeyyyyyy congratulations!!! Fantastic news I'm thinking twins.

BOMO - yikes that is a lot of money but I've got everything crossed it'll be worth every penny!

Polly - Yey for trigger and ER on Wednesday.

Andrea - I feel positive for you

Sorry if I missed anyone, on my phone.

Have a good day everyone xx

 

[GettingBroody]

Oh wow!!!! Am running really late this morning but had to take a minute to congratulate NotOp!!!!!!!!! Wohooooooooo! So thrilled for you!!! When is your EDD? We've been due some bfps around here! Now that you've got us starting again I'm sure they'll be pouring in! Who wants to be next?!!!

 

[bubumaci]

Andrea - my fingers are so crossed for you (I am also called Andrea, btw. )

Not - there you go honey - huge congratulations to you ... I am glad that I remained optimistic for you

BOMO - that is .... wow .. expensive, but I am so excited for you!!!

Polly - good luck

 

[Jenn76]

The greater news is my tests I swear by it are getting darker I know its still too early but its giving me some hope this cycle and the fact that in 3 and a half years my bb's have ALWAYS hurt an they totally dont hurt at all makes me even more ecstatic Don't have a pregnancy test at the docs until the 20th...that is if AF isn't showed up by then!

Sounds promising!

Mrs - the beta went fantastic - I am pregnant! Beta 915!

Congrats! I'm guessing twins too! Great number, so happy for you!

My follies have finally managed to reach the trigger line, tortoise pace! yay for them! ... tonight's the night, and Wed. is ER. Don't have just 2 right now though which is a bummer, but guess that's what it is..... I hope they are good and have a rainbow at the end of each

Stinas, Bubu- hey sweetie, Fx for 2013. Azoo is bad, but then "an-ova" is also equally bad I guess. My DH was given some anti-oxidants as well, and he has just a tiny marginal morphology issue; then they discovered that my amh was crappy low, almost menopausal. Well, with azoo the clinic here has a success story in finding just one sperm, and the couple had their baby !!! so, I guess it just takes one of each. Having said that I completely feel the frustration.... as if the entire world depends on random chance, and that is so much more random with some of us... unfair!...

Andrea- hope you get your bfp- perhaps twins!!
Want, Mo- glad the bleeding/spotting is resolved. take care... excited for the gender scan.
Everyone else- take lots of good care

Congrats on trigger! I bet those two are great quality and that is all you need. Good Luck with your ER.

[jchic]

Hi ladies, just checking in! Work has been so busy, so cant catch up with personals just yet

Hoping you all are doing great! Good luck to those going through ER and ET this week, woohoo!

To all my pregos - hope you are all feeling good! I am feeling better, still getting sick, but not as often so thats good. We find out the genders next Weds and are having the bakery make a cake with double filling (either double pink, double blue or blue and pink) and surprising our family on Thanksgiving for dessert with it! We also wont know until the cake cutting as we are having the ultrasound tech write in on a piece of paper and in an envelope it goes to the bakery!

 

[AndreaFlorida]

Test darker this morning I'll call round 2 pm Central time to get my progesterone results

 

[michelle01]

MrsC - I am doing good, thanks! I am on day 5 of stims. I went yesterday for a scan and blood; my e2 was only 153, so they increased my follistum to 450 at night. I have 18 follicles, largest was 9.6. Just hoping the increase helps. How are you doing?

Notop- YAY, congrats

Jchic - OMG, what a cute idea, but I would be so tempted to see what the tech writes down Cannot wait to find out what you are having...I think one of each

Polly - Good luck tomorrow!

bomo - Oh my, that is quiet a lot of money in such a short time. I hope things work out; you deserve so much to get your BFP!!!

Andrea - FX'ed for you It sounds so promising!!

Hope everyone else is good!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Polly~ Yay for triggering tonight and ER on Wednesday! They may get more than they can see so I'll keep my fingers crossed for you. Are you doing ICSI?

BOMO~ Any news on AF or when she might show this week?

michelle and Prayin~ How are you ladies doing?

Hi MrsC I'm good....the crappy part is that I have been spotting/bleeding since last Saturday....all due to my levels....Friday's numbers were at 15 so tomorrow we better be at 0! lol...knowing my luck the nurse will call back and say my number is 1! hahahaa....the pharmacy already called me with my new meds and bcp that I will take for the next 10 days if my number is at 0 tomorrow. The call from the pharmacy gave me new hope and made it exciting again...so we shall see

How are you doing?

Not op - CONGRATS!

 

[notoptimistic]

Thanks everyone. I never thought I would be able to announce a bfp after going so long without a BFP after my last miscarriage. I thought that there may have been an undetected problem with my uterus preventing implantation (maybe scarring from my d&c's after the miscarriages) although my doctor told me it was very unlikely.I'm so relieved no know that I can actually get pregnant again but I am still very worried that this one, like the others, won't last.
