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

[wantbabysoon]

Lindsay - Yay for first flutter!!
I have felt some sensations last week as well but can't tell if it was the baby!!

Jen - so sorry about your back.

 

[PollyJo]

Pink- congratulations!! that's awesome!!
DrS- guess the two have playtime, having a ball in there much to your discomfort.

Pink, Jen- thank you. Jen, you are lucky, because it first time does'nt work for most people. I was hoping mine would at least go up to embryo transfer, but my doc kept telling me that I should cancel the cycle because they would be empty. IDK if she already knew from experience or she was worried that just 2- 3 eggs are a pain in the retrieval process.... while I felt that their team was excellent I also feel that they won't let me know of any technical difficulties... I will try and go for a follow up, but am not yet ready for her give me only the donor egg option, and am not sure if I want to go through this again. I was also wondering if your doc or you yourself too any meds, like CoQ before the ivf, and at what doses for what time?
Pink- I am a bit numb, I still wake up sometime in cold sweat, but I will get over it.

polly im so sorry about the failed ret but i bet your dr has some good things to say. how can they just go onto donor without the change of protocols first? what protocol were you on? Ive read that DHEA is good but I do not know all that much about it. Maybe you can research.

Hi all how is everyone? I am slowly reading through the post..

Mobaby Yay for having the transfer and happy to see you have great embryo, my last on ended been the same... as for getting back into things or taking it easy I think it a personal choice, I always took it easy until the last transfer as we were driving home we stopped in a town that sell cloths, shoes and lingerie at wholesale price so we had to go shipping and did a bit of walking around and moving lots and the next day was back into cleaning the house, just make sure to keep warm and I wish you all the best xx

Pink, congrats on your boy/girl twins! That is so exciting. Do you have any ideas for names?

Lindsay, so exciting that you felt your little guy moving around!

Jenn, the back thing sounds like a major problem. I hope you can get some answers and maybe some relief. My regular dr was telling me that they can give steroid injections during pregnancy and it doesn't cross the placenta - maybe they would help you?

AFM, just killing time - this tww is so slow!! Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

two: i have been taking it easy since I got home. Staying bundled in the blankets Today I ventured downstairs and am cuddled up in the recliner. DH brought home some lunch that was yummy. I'm going to work tomorrow so soaking up the R&R as much as I can I still have 11 days until beta day! that is forever away!

 

[TwoRdue]

Pink - Congrats on a boy and girl what wonderful news

 

[almosthere]

az hold in there, the tww is torture but it will be over before you know it!!

 

[TwoRdue]

Mobaby movies became my friend so I could pass the time... It feels like forever but well worth the wait.x

Feeling fine; only 2dpt!! IDK if I am considered a 5dt or a 6dt??? I think they were frozen on day 6... ANYWAYS...not feeling much. some cramping on and off. Last night had some left pelvic pain that was dull but constant for 3-4 hours (my uterus is only in my left pelvis) nothing else... I keep poking my BBs and I'm like are they sore, LOL.. But not much. I have this urge to POAS now but I have no HPTs and I have to work all week (except on thursday for US thanksgiving)... so hopefully I can hold out until Friday.I am just relaxing up through today b/c I know I will be on my feet at work all day tomorrow. Its a new job as well so I'm excited to start!!

Congratulations on the new job! I had a long wait before my beta too, thank god for hpt's I would have went insane. Since your blast was hatching and you didn't trigger I would guess it wouldn't be long before you could start testing. I'm so excited for you!

Pink- congratulations!! that's awesome!!

I didn't take any meds. I have three dermoids cysts in my ovaries, two in the right and one in the left. My RE was skeptical of me doing IVF without removing them. The issue is that removing them would have delayed me months and I could lose my ovaries in the surgery. I told my RE that I wasn't willing to take my chances and I wanted to start anyway. So I knew from the start I probably wouldn't have many follicles and they may even struggle removing them during ER. He lectured me on donor options which would have been way harder as it is illegal in canada to buy donor eggs. I would have had to have someone donate them for free and they really scrutinize you both before agreeing to take you on. Never underestimate a woman's determination to have children. After three years of trying to conceive I wasn't going to give up the chance to have a biological child without at least trying. And I knew donor would be there if nothing else worked, So against his recommendation I started and succeeded.

The whole cycle was stressful, always wondering if they would get anything and then worrying if they would make it to transfer. But I am a very positive person so I believed it would work from he start. Sometime you just need to forget about the odds and just believe that this is meant to be. I would never accept that I wasn't meant to be a mom. I don't think any of us should.

I hope you can get some answers from a follow up. Maybe even a second opinion would be best. Just don't count yourself out yet, you have options.

How are you feeling?

I haven't talked to my OB except to ask about me resuming massages. I'm afraid if I tell her how bad it is she might put me out sooner. She out of town this week so I'm seeing another doctor and I am going to ask them. I found out my insurance covers a pregnancy belt with a doctors note so I'm going to get that. I've never heard of steroid injections before..... Hmm I will mention that as well. Thanks or the info.

Are you going to test? How are you feeling?

 

[TwoRdue]

Hi Jenn I am feel so much better, cold is almost gone as well as the ms still get some in the evenings but still nowhere near what it was so I am now going to start going for a walk daily walks and get some well overdue fresh air lol!! How are you going?

 

[drsquid]

two- yay for feeling better.. such a relief

jen- that sucks about your back. make sure you do stretching etc even on bedrest as studies have shown back stuff heals slower with immobility (not that you are in the healing phase per se). as long as you get a "pregnancy" massage... ie no lying on your back or bump then i dont see why you couldnt get massages. i had one early when i tweaked my shoulder but in general i just dont go that much

pink- yay team purple

afm- baking a pie for a coworkers (well she took my job but whatevs, not her fault) pre holiday get toghether.. ill get to see a bunch of people i havent seen in ages. forgot how many steps there were in this pie https://spoonful.com/recipes/triple-layer-chocolate-pumpkin-pie ... oops may not get done in time

 

[MoBaby]

yum drsquid! that looks delicious! i bookmarked it

 

[TwoRdue]

Oh that looks like heaven!

 

[almosthere]

yum dsquid that looks delish!!! torture!! LOL

 

[michelle01]

Jenn - Your back pain seems so awful; hope it gets better for you or they can figure something out to help relieve some of the pain.

Pink - How amazing...go team purple

Lindsay - How awesome to feel him move

Hope everyone else is doing good!

 

[drsquid]

it is really easy just time consuming.. oh and i tripled the seasonings cause otherwise it doesnt taste real strong pumpkin spicy.

 

[Jenn76]

Two: I'm good, ms came back this week only every second day Glad to hear you are feeling better. Are you going to get a gender scan?

DrSquid: Yummy! I'm going for a neck and shoulders massage, but unfortunately I need a deep tissue lower back massage which I can't have. I did go to physio last week to get some exercises that can be done in bed. I'm going back in a week to get more. I have a tens machine that I used to wear prepregnancy at work daily which really helps with my pain, so I'm sure once I have the babies I can get back to normal with it.

Michelle: Trigger must be soon for you. Sounds like you will get some nice frosties as well.

 

[TwoRdue]

I sure will be.. I have my 12 week scan on Wednesday and I will be getting scans every two to three weeks in the second tri so as soon as something is seen I so want to know.

Sorry to hear that the ms has come back as it can really pull you down, I hope it dont say around for long.x

 

[azlissie]

Have any prego ladies had increased thirst as a symptom? It just came on today - I am so thirsty all the time!! Even right after I take a drink I feel like I need another one. I've never noticed this before so was just wondering if anyone else had experienced it.
