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

[michelle01]

Thanks Mobaby and Jess! I have left a message with the FS; figured I would start with them versus going to my regular OB since they have been treating me and doing my IVF cycles this year. I know this is such a small cyst/overgrown follicle as the dr put it, but the pain it is causing...UGH! I am hoping it resolves itself in the next few days; just taking pain meds now and using the heating pad to help my back. Now I just wait for a call back and see what they want me to do.

 

[bubumaci]

Oh Michelle, I am sorry to hear that you are in so much pain! That sounds really horrible and I hope that it passes quickly!!!

 

[wantbabysoon]

Michelle, I hope you feel better soon.

 

[drsquid]

michelle- it may be a small cyst cause it popped and is still deflating the free fluid suggests that. hope you feel better

ash- i often feel ignored on a lot of threads. and honestly these days, when im not getting angry at people for stuff they DO say to me, im almost happy to be ignored (sigh at least 5 people have for some reason felt the need to tell me how i should be delivering, working out, etc). i think the downreg is the hardest part of ivf cause there isnt much to report. you are "doing something" every day but all it does is make you feel crappy and you don't even have the nice developing follicles or ultrasounds to look forward to. it SUCKS!! *hugs* im sorry you ended up spending time crying, please know at least for me i look forward to seeing your posts. you are one of the names ive known for a long time (can't really claim to know "you" but close enough for online). ive been accused of being insensitive and i probably am. im not good at personals. i tend to be better at responding when i have "advice" to give (oh yeah, i was told i'm a know it all too), or medical info i can supply.

other threads- i wasnt suggesting anyone leave, nor do i want anyone to. but i read lots of different threads for lots of different reasons. im too lazy to start my own journal and kind of abuse someone elses to post stuff that doesn't fit for me anywhere else =)

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Ash. . . I totally get what you are saying and I will be the first to say I have not really been doing any personals because I have been very self absorbed this cycle. I have felt badly about that, but as I've said I have been feeling very sorry for myself (as I'm sure you could tell from some of my posts on here. ) ). I would still like to be there for you because I know how challenging this has been for you waiting (and waiting) until insurance let you finally get started with IVF. I took lupron last cycle but your question was about itching and or burning (I think) and I never had that so I didn't feel like I could give you any advice. I haven't done icing with any of my injections, so when someone offered you that advice I was happy.

I can say I will be better about personals, and I will try to be. I know I have a hard time because I am often checking this from my phone and reading through it then trying to get everyone (especially when it goes so fast in here) is difficult. I usually can't write during the day because I have my 18 little helpers all the time (my second graders). So, please know I am here and want to be your cheerleader as everyone has been for me.

Swepak, I hope all goes well today and I can't wait to hear your report.

Michelle, I'm so sorry you hurt so much. I hope you feel better!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Thanks lady's for that!!!

well I have........... ONE pretty little bean!!! I was wanting twins again but with what happened I am feeling a lot more relaxed with this pregnancy now and so happy to be here, OH was over the moon and proud to be dad.
I had considered changing my screen name but decided not to as my boys will always be a part of me.
Oh and baby is right on time at seven weeks with a heartbeat of 145 yay

Just want to also say that I love this forum and you have all been so great!!! I for one won't be going anywhere: )

CONGRATS TWO!!!!! Awesome news!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Off to ER!!! Have a great day everyone!!

Fx crossed for you!

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Congrats on your healthy little bean Two!!!

 

[Swepakepa3]

11 eggs retrieved this morning, possible transfer Sunday..., RE suggested putting back 3 embryo's..,, we shall see what happens

 

[jchic]

11 is great! Fingers crossed for a great fertilization report!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Swepak - congrats on 11 eggs! Looking forward to hearing about the fert report!

Michelle - thanks for being understanding, I will check out the other threads I've never had a cyst on my ovary so I can't really give you any advice but I do hope you feel better soon and that it does not postpone your cycle. FX'd everything goes as planned

bubu - Lupron is a suppressor. It calms down my ovaries before I start my gonal F and meonpur. Right now I don't have to go for check-ups. I'm supposed to call them when my period comes but as of today it is late. I called the nurse to see if this is normal or what the next steps should be. I haven't heard back but I should by the end of today. You know what, the emotions are running rampant obviously but the girls on this thread go through it they understand why people are overly sensitive, or they should anyways and I just I guess expected more. I don't even want to go into the whole thing again honestly I just would like to be supported like everyone else that's all.

DrS - thanks so much, you really made me feel better and seem to really understand where I'm coming from. I guess it really is better to be ignored I have a journal anyways and all of the people over there are very supportive and awesome too so that helps. And you're right about the down regulating process. It's very annoying because I'm giving myself a shot everyday and just not been able to have any excitement like scans or follicle counts etc. You're completely right! I'm mostly insensitive, I mean I get worked up over things but I'm very blunt and I don't beat around the bush about anything and some people can take it and some can't I guess ... who knows! I am who I am ... I do always appreciate all of the medical advice that you give, it really is helpful and informative. I can't believe people said such mean things to you People are so mean sometimes.

BOMO - I'm sorry you have been feeling sorry for yourself! Keep your head up! Sometimes you do need to be self absorbed and that is okay, I don't ALWAYS respond to everyone but it's nice to know that you're supported, I know everyone on this thread feels that way. Yeah the icing the spot before the injection has worked like a charm, best advice I have received thus far!

 

[MrsC8776]

Today is a new day and honestly I'm going to try and leave yesterday in the past. I got pretty worked up yesterday but then had to just push it off because life is life and we all have bad days. We all do the best we can and we just have to understand that we can't make everyone happy all the time. This is something that has taken me a long time to understand but I finally do and it has helped me. As much as I try not everyone is going to be happy, thats all there is to it. I've said sorry and I don't know what else I can do.

Swepak - Good luck today

I may not post a lot on this thread anymore, however, I read all the posts from yesterday and Ash, I am sorry you feel that way. I have had my days and now starting my 3rd IVF cycle; it seems so unfair that some women have to do multiple cycles, but I figured if this is something that I really want, I have to keep trying. This thread has been wonderful! I feel like I have made so many friends on here and I love hearing about everyones journey, whether you are just starting, in your 2ww, just got your BFP or further in your pg. It gives me hope that this does work! I will be staying and hoping for support during my upcoming cycle. Since I am just in limbo waiting, I just don't post as much.

Ash - there is a thread that I have been on for IVF oct/nov/dec, that you should check out; most of the women in there are just starting their cycles like myself.

MrsC - I just want to say you have done a FABULOUS job with this thread

I am having sort of a dilema and maybe someone has some insight.....Tuesday evening I started having HORRIBLE back pain. It was still bad yesterday and started having pain in my lower right abdomen. I finally went to the walk-in clinic yesterday afternoon and ruled out my SI joint which I thought it was. They sent me to the ER; so I went there, they did an u/s, ct scan, etc... They found a 2cm cyst on my right ovary and some fluid around my uterus. It is causing me so much pain, they had to give me morphine and sent me home with pain meds. This morning my entire back is achy. I have to follow-up with my OB today, but last year I had a 4cm cyst on my left ovary and never felt a thing. SO why would this small cyst bother me this bad and now I am so scared it will post-pone my cycle; I have an appt next Wednesday for blood and to start lupron. Anyone have this before; I am really worried. Thanks in advance!

Thanks Mobaby and Jess! I have left a message with the FS; figured I would start with them versus going to my regular OB since they have been treating me and doing my IVF cycles this year. I know this is such a small cyst/overgrown follicle as the dr put it, but the pain it is causing...UGH!

Have you heard back from the FS? I hope it doesn't delay your cycle. Honestly though you want that thing gone before your next cycle because you do NOT want it during pregnancy! I had a very small cyst before my cycle and then got my bfp. A few weeks into pregnancy I woke up in the worst pain of my life. Ended up in the ER at 11 or 12 at night. They couldn't find anything wrong. The pain slowly went away over a few hours. I went to my RE about a week later for my first scan and found out I had a massive cyst. That tiny thing turned into a cyst bigger than a baseball. It has slowly gone down in size but as of the other day when I had my scan the cyst was still there. All I'm saying is please be careful and even if they want you to take a few extra weeks to make that go away please do it because it is so painful and such a worry. I hope that you won't have to delay your cycle and it goes away on its own.

11 eggs retrieved this morning, possible transfer Sunday..., RE suggested putting back 3 embryo's..,, we shall see what happens

Yay for 11 eggs!! I can't wait to hear your report tomorrow! How do you feel about putting back 3?

 

[drsquid]

ash- mine was late too on lupron by like 4-5 days. i diddnt start stims right away cause i was aiming for a certain ER date. so i had a 2nd bleed about a week later (heh ie heads up lupron thins the lining so until stims get it going you may bleed cause of "atrophy"... they dont warn you about that). heh i wasnt calling you insensitive.. i was calling myself that =) but yeah, im blunt like you and it gets me in trouble

 

[ashknowsbest]

MrsC- there are no hard feelings on my end. What happened happened, you don't need to apologize.

DrS - I hate that it's late! I took off work for the days that were around my estimated ER and now I'm going to have to take more days off Lame! TMI but did you bleed a lot since it things you lining, I'm not sure whether to expect a full bleed or spotting? Oh yeah I know you weren't calling me insensitive but I was calling myself that! Yeah being blunt gets us in trouble but at least it's better than telling people lies or things they just want to hear...

 

[Swepakepa3]

Thanks!!


Ash: how are you doing today?

 

[ashknowsbest]

Sorry in advance for the back to back post but I just got a call from my nurse and she said that if I don't get my period by tomorrow to come in on Saturday morning for b/w and ultrasound because she said some girls won't get a period. So since it's been almost 2 weeks that I've been on it they want to see what's going on in there and with my b/w. Yay! So happy to be getting ready to start

Swepak - I'm feeling tired from not sleeping well but other than that I'm doing good. I had work this morning and now I'm at home knitting

Yay for 11 eggs!! I can't wait to hear your report tomorrow! How do you feel about putting back 3?

Nervous..... I don't know what I would do with triplets.... We freaked out last time with the thought of twins..... But this is the last time I want to do this so I looks the three it will be ... Depending on how the eggs develope

 

[bubumaci]

Ah - I understand - I figured it was the down regulator Luckily I didn't have to do that. So - once you have had AF, will you start stimming on day 3?

Have you heard back yet Ash?

Yaaay for 11 Swepa Tomorrow we will hear how they have fertilised - FX'd for you Honey!

 

[ashknowsbest]

bubu - yeah I wish I didn't have to suppress but I do. Nurse called cause my period is late and said to come in Saturday morning whether or not AF is here and she said I'll most likely be starting on the gonadotrophins that day.

 

[bubumaci]

That is the second time today that I post something, only to suddenly find that I have missed a bunch of posts... glad to hear that you are moving forward Ash
