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

[jchic]

Baby - the 16th is almost here, yay! DH and I talked about the screening and have decided against it. Any type of testing (all of our original bloodwork from the RE came back perfect, with no markers, etc) makes me SUPER nervous, and I feel like if they told me my baby had a 1 in 200000000000 chance of something being wrong, I personally would focus on that 1 part. Thats me though. I get SUPER worried. So we are going to bypass the testing so I am not a nervous wreck.

@ Getting - I am not going to do a HPT, as I am getting bloods on Sunday + Wednesday. A HPT wouldn't show anything this early...

 

[GettingBroody]

Bubu - oh yes, forgot your clinic does super early testing! Good luck!

 

[Stinas]

Lindsay - Yes, I do need a vacation! I feel like we never went away this summer, like Bahamas was a dream lol DH and I were talking about it today actually. How are you feeling?
You need to take before and after pics of the room!

notoptimistic - Maybe they can give you provera? They told me if it takes longer than normal thats what they were going to do.

MoBaby - Im sorry you are feeling this way...... I did too....most of the girls around the same cycle got their BFP's on the first try when I was on my first as well.....i feel more like I took one for the team.
I do hear a lot of women do better with FET.........so I guess all we can do is hope for the best.

wantbabysoon - Im sorry one didnt survive, but glad to hear the other is doing well!

Lulu - I know! Its crazy how glad I am to see AF lol Thats a great beta! Yay!

BabyOnMyOwn - Yay for 11!!!!!!!!

hiccups - Im sorry! It really sucks when you have to wait to save up. I just dont understand how this stuff is not covered but we have to pay for lazy unemployed people with 10 kids, who have tons of piercings and tattoos and freshly painted nails. Drives me insane! WTF....makes me want to sit on my ass and do nothing.

teapot - Where are you cycle buddy? How are you doing?


Well AF is here!!! FINALLY! Its not such a normal AF....more of a light flow....but I dont care, im considering it CD1. TMI, but when the toilet water is red, its CD1. Gross I know, but whatever, you all get it so im sure you will survive reading it lol
I go in for bloods tom and I am guessing they will tell me when to start taking all these pills.

 

[MoBaby]

Stinas I'm the same way in regards to AF! Wish they would have started me on estrace on cd2; I have to wait until cd21 or something like that! Good luck! FX for you!

 

[Stinas]

Mobaby - Thank you...you too!
I have no clue when I am starting them....Maybe tom? I just want to fast forward now. Just nervous about the thawing process.

Today was beta, but before going to beta i tested and BFN

Sorry to hear this Lily I hope you can get started sooner then that you deserve a BFP.

Sorry about the BFN Hiccups When can you start again?

Good luck BOMO!

Quick question for the pregos on here: On Friday, I am going to visit my cousin and her husband. They just had a baby boy about 4 weeks ago. Anyway, she has a cat. I am NOT allergic to cats, but wondering if I can still visit with the cat there? Have you heard of anything saying otherwise?

I have two cats, like others said it's just the litter.

Quick update, they got 11 eggs (double +1 from last time). I'll know tomorrow how many fertilize. I'm going home to sleep, I'm way more crampy than last time plus still have a cold. Hopefully sleeping and my heating pad help.

Fantastic news, can't wait for your fert report.

um..is it normal to have a lot of ewcm at this stage? Day 8 of stims?

Great sign! Trigger soon!

Hi Getting - Just had blood taken and will get at call within the next three hours!

Good Luck!

So I finally figured out the new OB-GYN situation and have my first appointment on 16th Oct. Also, they scheduled me for first trimester screening for the 24th, are you ladies planning to get it done? I am still not sure..

I am having the tests done because of my age. My hospital does it if you are over 35 or high risk. Glad to hear you got a ob-gyn.

@ Getting - I am not going to do a HPT, as I am getting bloods on Sunday + Wednesday. A HPT wouldn't show anything this early...

Good Luck! I will cross everything for you.

AFM: Finally heard from my OB-GYN and got an appointment for Friday. I doubt she will do a scan but I'm hoping she will. I'm telling my family on Sunday so it would be great to have that reassurance. I do have a scan on Tuesday so not much longer anyway.

 

[Lindsay18]

BOMO- that's fantastic!!!

Stinas- yay for AF!!! Lol. Totally the rule for day 1 haha!!!

 

[almosthere]

i have a cat-dh has been changing to little to be extra safe since a year ago when we were ttc..bless his soul! lol

hiccups I am so so sorry I hope you get a financial miracle or a natural miracle bfp before you need to start back up with ivf!!

bomo congrats that is amazing!!

GL BUBU almost there with testing!!!

 

[almosthere]

oh and yayy for af stinas, roll on next cycle woohoo!!

 

[TwoRdue]

Hi Ladies,
I finally got a call back from the nurse and beta is 2705 at 21dpo, all is looking great. I know I am going to be a basket case with this pregnancy. I have my first appointment with the hospital on the 16th I hope that he scans me the same day

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Wow - I bet that you do have two in there - I wont say three That is a high beta! You have to wait until the 16th to get scanned? What are you going to do to pass the time?

 

[TwoRdue]

Sleep I hope lol. I was hoping to get a six week scan but the clinic only books them in for week seven and will only do it on the 18th and the earliest appointment for the hospital was the 16th ahhhh.
Two would be great but with my last pregnancy I will be treading on water..
How are you feeling MissA?

 

[almosthere]

i think 2 as well!!

and I also only get a 7 week...which I still think is fab since I thought normally woman don't go in til 8 with a natural bfp...although I could be wrong!

 

[MissAnnabelle]

I'm just kidding - I just had to say I don't really know if the numbers mean that much - you will just have to wait and see I'm feeling good. I feel more tired than usual - not sure if that is a symptom of pregnancy or of worrying...lol I'm going in for my scan tomorrow so just hoping everything is where it is supposed to be. I don't think I am getting anymore bloddwork though - just the two times I guess? So, at your scan on the 16th will they be able to hear the heartbeat?? That will be so exciting and worth the wait for sure Do they know why it happened the last time?

 

[TwoRdue]

The scan on the 16 will be a basic scan for the doctor to look at, I will see a heart beat but this machine I will not be able to hear it but then the scan for the 18th is for the IVF clinic and that I be the one that will do everything. 7 weeks must be the norm then.
Yay a scan tomorrow should show how many sacks are in there. Cant wait to hear about it.
I have been so so tied and about to go and have a nana nap lol, sore bb and nausea after eating and only a little when hungry. Exciting

I had the testing done and still am. They do a two part blood test at my clinic. If you can not look at the numbers to much I think its a great idea. You could also use it as an extra scan. You just have to do what is best for you. Either way I wouldn't have one an amnio.

Thanks MrsC. This is an amazing group of woman!

 

[Stinas]

Thanks ladies! I cant wait to get started! I will probably be a nervous wreck wondering if it will survive the thaw, but it is what it is as I always say!

TwoRdue - Great number!!!
