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

Stinas, congrats on being PUPO When do we hear the results of our next azoo baby/ies?

Dawson is just gorgeous and I am sure it will be tough for you to go through his surgery ... but you will love his little face after surgery just as much and it will be easier for him

 

[Jenn76]

All day yesterday I thought it was Tuesday it wasn't until big brother came on at 9pm that I realized that it is Wednesday. So I missed wishing Stinas and Mobaby good luck! Glad to hear all went well! Beautiful baby Mo! Congrats on being PUPO Stinas!!

Azlissie: Dawson is adorable! I can imagine how tough it must be preparing for surgery. I lost it at the last vaccination appointment. I wish we could all be there in the waiting room with you. Did they say if it would just be one surgery?

 

[azlissie]

Thanks for your support everyone! I'm glad you understand how I feel. I will definitely take lots of pics between now & his surgery! And Jenn, he's actually facing at least 4 surgeries. They do the lip/nose first, then they do the palate at one year old. He will need a bone graft into his upper jaw so the permanent teeth have a place to go - they'll do that surgery when he's 7 or 8. And then as he ages he might need a revision on the lip or nose - they usually do that when they are teenagers. So it's a long road for the little guy, but fortunately he'll never remember the first couple.

Congrats on being pupo Stinas! Sending you positive baby vibes.

 

[Stinas]

bubu - I am pretty sure I am going to test early..lol...god forbid I have any patience. Beta is next thurs or fri...i need to ask tom when I go for progesterone check up.

Jenn - LOL Thank you

azlissie - WOW I never realized how many surgeries it takes to fix that. Poor little guy! Its good he wont remember it.

No news here. Last day of being off. Back to work tom! Yippee!

 

[MoBaby]

Anyone heard from swepakepa?? Her u/s was yesterday also. Hope all is okay!

 

[Allika]

I have a question...how long do you usually stim? Today is day 4 for me and my calendar right now says the retrieval will be on the next Saturday. Any chance it could be sooner?

 

[MoBaby]

I stimmed for 10 days all 3 cycles. usual is between 8-12 days.

 

[Jenn76]

11 days for me. All depends on your response to the meds, I was a slow responder.

Azlissie that sucks that Dawson needs to go through so much, but you have a strong little man there it will probably be harder on you then him.

 

[MrsC8776]

Ok ladies I'm very sorry for falling so far behind. I'm going to try to catch up with I have time. Sorry if some of the replies are outdated but I like to try to respond to everyone. I have been checking in here and there when I get a minute to sit down so I've been keeping up, theres just not a lot of time to reply right now.

Jenn~ The recent pictures you have added are so cute!! How are you and the babies doing? Is seep getting any better for you and them? I sure hope so!!

Stinas~ Huge congrats on being PUPO with twins!!! Not much longer now until your beta!

Honey~ Congrats on getting started again!

Prayin~ How are you doing?

Allika~ Welcome Wishing you the best of luck on your cycle!

Sekky~ How are you doing?

Getting~ How is Fia doing?

Almost~ How is Liam doing?

Michelle~ Dylan is SO cute! Congrats again on the delivery.

Lindsay~ I hope the trip goes well!

Never~ I only managed to pump for the first 2 months. With the girls having so much trouble, being in the NICU and not seeing them for the first 24 hours made it very hard for them to BF. They just couldn't get it but thats ok. Formula has been great. Expensive but great! Great news about stopping all meds!!

Mo~ Congrats on a great scan!

Bubu~ You have every right to feel the way you do. We are always here for you so please feel free to vent, be cynical, anything you want. We are here to listen and support each other just like we have been from the beginning. I truly hope that what is next for you is your forever baby. I mean that with everything I have.

Azlissie~ I'm so glad you are comfortable with the dr you have found for Dawson. I know it will be a long road for him and you as well but in the end he will be just as handsome as he is right now. You will never forget the face you first laid eyes on!

I hope I caught everyone. If I missed anyone I'm truly sorry!!

AFM~ The girls are 6 months old today. The time has gone by so fast. Some days it feels like it hasn't but then other days it does. They have their 6 month check up/shots tomorrow. Being the smart one I am I scheduled it months ago and now it lands right in the middle of their long nap. Way to go right!?! I'll try to get their 6 month pics that I took up on FB tomorrow.

 

[Jenn76]

I can't believe it has been 6 months already MrsC!! Can't wait to see the new pics. How's the new house? Are you all settled in? Did the girls adapt ok? I believe you were going to move them into the nursery when you moved, how is that going?

My babies are good. Sleep is still not great, but improving. Emma has been sleeping 3-5 hours at a time for the past few days which is great compared to her usual 1-3 hours. I'm hoping the past few days are the start of improved sleep.

Ok peeps I am freaking out. Today is day 7 of stimming and in todays scan there were about 10 follicles on each ovary the biggest ones around 9mm. This evening I am already experiencing mild OHSS.I have a hard bloat on my tummy and was totally out of breath and gasping for air and getting none, when I went on a stroll with DH. My E2 values are around 1200 already which RE confirmed are high.
I was on a low dose of 50 IU and 100 IU alternating for 6 days. and now on 50 and 75 alternately. I dont know if I am again going to be so sick like last time. I want to cry already. Oh poor me, I dont want this to happen again

Also does anyone know if high levels of Estrogen negatively affects implantation. Then it could mean something for me as I always had high levels of Estrogen in all my cycles.

 

[MoBaby]

Honey ohss doesn't onset until the follicles have been aspirated. Your e2 isn't high enough either for ohss though high for day 7 as you probably have 4 or 5 more days to go if follicles were 9mm today. High e2 will affect implantation and you may be better off doing a freeze all cycle if the e2 is high/ohss. Your re can trigger you with lupron instead of Hcg since Hcg administration is what sets off the ohss cascade. I think you need to be watched more carefully at this point forward and find out why you feel short of breath. If you do the lupron and freeze all to transfer later you could avoid the risks of ohss altogether. Feel better and hopefully ohss stays away!

 

[Allika]

@MoBaby: thanks for your reply! You helped me out too!

Today is day 8 of stimming, my lead follicles are 16mm, the rest is between 11-15. My E2 is 1,600 and they don't want me to take bravelle anymore but only Menopur and see me daily!

Freaked me out!!!! But now that I read your reply I guess I can calm myself down!

 

[MoBaby]

You probably have 2 days max left allika with stopping the Bravelle that should help with. It over stimulating. Your final e2 will prob be around 3200-3500. Good luck!

 

[Allika]

So you think I won't have the retrieval Saturday? I found that kinda late too and was thinking it should be earlier!

Ugh I am so ready to be done my belly is all blue!

 

[never2late70]

Mo: I know you do your own scans and stuff, but what do you do for a living?

 

[Stinas]

Hey ladies!! Hope all is well!!!
Im too lazy to write, so Ill copy paste from my journal!

Like last cycle...I tested with a digital OPK and got a smiley then tested with a HPT next morning and got my BFP.....well....I did it again and got a smiley on the OPK this am!! I am going to go buy some FRER later today and possibly test tonight or tom am.

Not going to get too excited yet!
Had massive heartburn this am....probably not related, but I never had it that bad!

 

[MoBaby]

Never: sending you a PM!

 

[Stinas]

Honey - They should be watching you even closer considering what happened last cycle!

 

[MoBaby]

So you think I won't have the retrieval Saturday? I found that kinda late too and was thinking it should be earlier!

Ugh I am so ready to be done my belly is all blue!

If you have one at 16 and some at 15 then in 2 days the 16 will be 20 and then 15s around 19..anything over 18 is considered ready to go. My RE looks for 3 lead follicles ready to go before the trigger. So I bet you trigger on wednesday with retrieval Friday (36 hr post trigger). Saturday at the latest I would think (thursday trigger) based on your scan and numbers.
