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

[almosthere]

oh goodness-lindsay I am doing portfolio write ups for parent conferences next week so I am slammed with work at home-us teachers are busy bees!!! lol

and OMGSH WANT I read the most recent threads and I was dreading what I was about to read-I am SO glad your little bean is okay, and sorry for this horrid experience-I hope it ends soon-but so glad you and beanie are healthy and well!!!

 

[wantbabysoon]

Swepa, yay on 11 eggs! good luck for a great fert report! Keep us posted.

Mo, Good luck with your FET.

AFM, I am just trying to take it easy but it's so hard not to worry! Does anyone know regarding losing one twin and how long the bleeding lasts?

I don't have an answer but I hope it doesn't last long. I think sometimes there is no bleeding then other times there is. I would assume it wouldn't be long because the body would hold on to most of the bleeding. Maybe that is wrong though. When will you be going back to the RE or OB? Sorry again that you have to go through this.

I have my first trimester screening next Wednesday but if the bleeding continues through Monday I might call again. She did tell me that the bleeding will most likely go on for a week but it should reduce which is what I am going to look for.

 

[Lulu 07]

Stinas ~ Yaaaay.. You'll be PUPO in less than a week!!! can't wait to hear about your BFP!! Oh, and thanks for that cute threat haha. I know I won't be going anywhere.

Pink ~ I hope you got a better sleep last night! I will also be getting less sleep once I'm no longer able to sleep on my tummy.

Bubu ~ I'm glad you have a plan in place and I hope this FET is the one that gives you your precious baby. Make sure you eat pineapple core and walnuts around transfer time, I feel like that's what made the difference for me. I could be wrong but it doesn't hurt to try. looking forward to your BFP!

Michelle ~ I always had pain around ovulation time and there's times when it would be hard for me to walk because of the pain. the pain would also be in my ovary and in my back but worse in my ovary. For me it was the follicle about to burst and once I ovulated I would feel much better but just a little sore. Hopefully that's all it is for you as well and that cyst is just your follie about to pop out. I hope you feel better!

Prayin ~ How are you doing? When will you be doing you FET?

Swepa ~ 11 follies is great!! Can't wait for the fertilization report.. FX it's a great one!!

Never ~ I'm so happy that you've decided to give it one more try! We are all here for you! FX for you and good luck!

drs ~ How's the nursery coming along?

BOMO ~ I'm sorry you're feeling down but I hope tomorrow's appointment goes really well for you.

Mobaby ~ FET's have a great success rate and hopefully it's what works for your body since hormones are not as crazy then. Have you done acupuncture? It's great for balancing hormones. I have friend who tried for 3 years and couldn't get pregnant and 3 weeks after she started acupuncture she got her BFP and her infertility was only due to hormonal factors. Whatever you end up doing, I hope it gives you your forever baby. I have a good feeling for you for this FET.

want ~ I'm so sorry you had to go through that fear. I would've been super scared as well. I'm glad your little bean is doing well and I hope your bleeding stops really soon so you could have some peace of mind.

Jenn ~ I hope all is well with you! Have you considered doing a private scan sooner to find out the genders? That is definitely what I'll be doing haha.

az ~ How are you doing? I hope all is well!

Lindsay ~ I hope your parent teacher conferences went well. I hope you and your little bean are doing well.

MrsC ~ How's the girl shopping going?? I love shopping for girls!

Almost ~ Good luck with your preparations for the parent teacher conference. It must be hard doing all that work and having to go through all the pregnancy symptoms as well.

Ash ~ I also read all the posts and I'm sorry because I can't get myself to give you any support right now because reading what you had written on the other thread really offended me as I am one of the ladies on this thread. I'm not trying to add to the drama but since I've replied to everyone I didn't want you to think, oh here they are doing it again replying to everyone except me. Sorry but this is just how you've made me feel with the other posts.

I'm so sorry if I forgot anyone ladies!

As for me, scan was great and both my little beans were doing well. One with a HB of 127 and the other one with a HB of 118. RE says he wants both heartbeats above 100 so he said that was good.

 

[azlissie]

So glad you had a great scan lulu! Did you get any scan pics?

AFM, nothing really to report. I'm so sure this IUI didn't work that I'm already thinking about what to do next. My RE is pretty firm about doing the IUI 24 hrs post trigger but I'm pretty sure I didn't ov until 41 hrs post trigger so I want to push for a 36 hr gap next time. It sucks because the donor sperm is about $850 per vial & I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to try at least one more time.

Hi Lulu.....The doc told me today that she wants me to do a saline sonogram (again..lol) and she would like to check out my uterus (scrape) to make sure all is well....She said by Dec 1st I should be good......they took blood today so Im praying its at zero so I can begin to do all now and not have to wait until Dec .....she said she wished she could tell me exactly why I had miscarried but she said had no answer because that Sunday the baby was fine....they cant even say for sure if it was the progesterone shots...(I ended up with an allergic reaction to the oil base of the injection...it was sesame oil) so know they are going to change that to olive oil and I may have to give myself the shots 2x a day....it will be worth it in the end.....

Are you going to post a pic of your babies....I would love to see them Im glad your scan came out great....I cant wait to hear my babys heartbeat one day

 

[TwoRdue]

Haha lulu you just made me thread hunt lol, just trying to be noisy I think hehe.

Yay for you scan so happy both are doing well!!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

So today was the most horrific experience of my life...
I was at work getting ready to leave for lunch with my colleagues... I get up and felt something coming out from down there and rushed to the restroom... And to my horror... it was a gush of blood that had soaked my underwear and pants within the walk from my desk to the bathroom.... Needless to say I panicked... I just picked up my car keys and just started to drive home.. I called my doctor for an emergency ultrasound.. My husband rushed home as well.... We had the ultrasound some time ago and the baby is doing fine but the doctor thinks that the other sac which stopped developing couple weeks back is starting to shed... I still have bleeding but it is nothing like what it was this afternoon...
I am still nervous since for about an hour I had thought it was all over... Thank God the bean is doing ok!! But until this bleeding stops I am going to continue worrying.
I will do personals later.... Just going to put my feet up and rest for a while.

Im so sorry sweatheart....

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Michelle: Sorry to hear about your pain from the cyst, my cousin went through that too. Her doctor left it as is and told her it wouldn't interfere with her getting pregnant. I have dermoids ones in my two ovaries, they aren't painful though. I was able to complete IVF with them. I hope they don't delay your cycle.

Prayin: I'm glad you are still fighting, and I pray that you get your BFP soon. Are you doing another cycle?

Swepakepa: 11 is fantastic! Congrats! Are you doing a 3 day or 5 day transfer?

Two: Sorry to hear you weren't feeling well during your scan I know how that feels you want to be excited but you feel like crap. I had a reaaaalllly bad headache at my last one and I could barely focus. This should pass soon. This will be your forever baby!

Angie: I am so glad you are trying again! I was really sad when you said you were done. Everything is crossed for you.

Mobaby: Go for two, if you are ok with twins. My RE really tried to push for one too, but my thought was if I did that and it didn't work I would totally regret it. Not to mention the cost of the failed cycle. FX that AF cooperates. Good luck!

MrsC: You are the glue that holds this thread together, we all appreciate all the work you do here to keep the front page up-to-date.

Ash: When you posted your update yesterday you didn't give people time to respond it was only an hour later that you said you were leaving. Many of us didn't even see your post since we were at work. I would have replied to say that I hope AF arrives soon. You don't post in here everyday like many of us do and when you do you don't comment on all of us. You never commented once to me when I was stimming and got my BFP. I have commented on many of your posts, and you've never thanked me for my comments.

This is a busy thread and nobody should take to heart lack of responses to posts, we've all missed things. It is hard to do personals for everyone. I know that this process is hard and we all go through hormonal changes with this. I read through several posts in here and I don't agree that you haven't been supported. Many of us have commented on your posts. I'm sorry you feel this way I know that nobody in hear meant to make you feel unsupported. This is by far the best form in here, I've been in many others reading and I never see as many personals and support as this one has.

I should start sometime next month....have to take double PIO shots....(wahhhhh...lol) but it will be all worth it in the end....I have three frozen embryos that Im dying to meet
how are you feeling?

 

[Lulu 07]

az ~ hopefully this is it and you won't need another try but if you do, are you able to split the vial and do back to back IUI's?

Prayin ~ Hopefully you your levels are where they're at and you won't need to wait until december. I'm glad your doc is doing these additional tests to make sure all is ok.

Two ~ Didn't mean to make anyone go thread hunting but I had to get it off my chest.

I will post my pics later tonight because we're going out right now and hubby is waiting outside calling me as I write this.

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Hello Lovely's. Just jumping in real quick to say:

BOMO: I am so sorry that you're feeling down. Do something special for yourself. My guilty pleasure are mani-pedi's

SWepka: 11 eggs is amazing. I would have put back all 3 of mine.

Parayinforbabies: I totally missed your loss I am so so sorry

Michelle: Sounds horrible what you're going through. Atleast they caught it early enough. Stay strong.

DrS: Youre posts ALWAYS make me smile in one way or another

Tworude: Congrats on your sticky bean. Great news!

MrsC: I think you're doing an amazing job and I appreciate you.

Ash: I can totally relate to what you were feeling yesterday. None the less we got to have faith and these ladies give me that. We all have bad days. Please don't leave!

Everyone else: Happy Thursday! lol

Having said all of that, My husband and I have decided to give it one more go. Yep you heard right. We have an appointment with our RE/FS tomorrow to even discuss donor egg options. I am thrilled. Worried. Concerned about finances. You name it!
We both were trying to pretend like we were fine without another try..lol

So here we go again! I really need you all I am scared to death!

Prayers and Blessings to everyone,
~Angie

Lulu - Glad your beans are doing well!

azlissie - You never know until AF comes! Im not sure how IUI's work, but cant they shoot you up with sperm twice?(never done one so sorry if thats a stupid question lol)


Hope I got everyone!
As for me............the dreaded PIO is tom! Here we go again!

 

[ashknowsbest]

Honestly, we've all felt how I'm feeling right now at some point and the fact that you can't see at alllll where I'm coming from is disgusting. Good luck in all of your endeavors.

It is going great! We got the bedding all picked out and have decided on what the room will look like. I can't wait until it is all together! Thank you for asking.

I'm so glad your little beans are doing good and have a great heartbeat! How long until you get to see them again? Hopefully before your 12 week scan.

So glad you had a great scan lulu! Did you get any scan pics?

AFM, nothing really to report. I'm so sure this IUI didn't work that I'm already thinking about what to do next.

No giving up on this IUI until the witch shows! Please try to stay positive just in case. I know the DS is so expensive and then add in the shipping... it all adds up but in the end it will be so worth it. Have you asked about coming in at 36 hours after the trigger?

Stinas ~ Yaaaay.. You'll be PUPO in less than a week!!! can't wait to hear about your BFP!! Oh, and thanks for that cute threat haha. I know I won't be going anywhere.

Fx for December!! It will be here before you know it. It is hard when there is no answers to what has happened. I'm glad they will be changing things for you this time.

I hope you get through them ok and they aren't horrible. Wishful thinking huh?!? It will all be worth it in the end.

 

[Stinas]

MrsC - Wishful thinking lol. They are just bad after a few days. Once its all bruised up and you have only a certain amount of space you can do it in. Basically you are sticking the needle in a bruise, so it hurts for a min, but just more dreadful than anything lol But like you said, it will be worth it.

I was going to go out for drinks tonight, but decided not do...plus DH kind of ruined it for me. I guess hes right...I dk what it would be like drinking with all these pills. OH well. lol

 

[Pink gerbera]

Wow this thread goes soo fast!

Want - I'm so sorry you had a scare but I'm so relieved your little bean is ok

Lulu - thanks. Not sleeping on my tummy is definitely something I'm getting used to!!! But it's so not as comfy!!

Mo - I'm with what some other girls have said if you're happy with twins then I'd be putting 2 back. They tried to talk me into 1 ET but I pushed for 2 and I'm so glad I did


AFM after the drama on here the last few days, which like Lindsay I've tried to stay out of. I didn't feel like I wanted to write about my 12 week scan yesterday. But we're in this together so.... I had my 12 week scan yesterday and it went really well. Both babies are measuring perfectly and they were both very wriggly! It was amazing!!

Pink xx

 

[GettingBroody]

Pink - congratulations on a wonderful 12 week scan! Is it time to tell the world now so?! Can we see a photo?!

Mo - wow, that sounds like some meeting with your FS I don't envy your decision but I think if I was in your position I'd be leaning towards following the FS's advice. Hope yourself and DH can agree on what's best to do for ye. I know someone already mentioned acu - were u doing that for your other cycles? If not, might be worth trying? I went weekly before my transfer and twice on the day of transfer and for a few more weeks after. Who knows if it made a difference but if I do ivf again in the future then I will definitely be going back!! Fx'd af arrives soon!

Want - oh my god, you poor thing. I can't even imagine how you must have felt.... So glad you got the emergency scan quickly and saw that all is well with baby but totally understand how you'll find it hard to relax until the bleeding stops/eases off. Relax and mind yourself

Prayin - so glad your apt went well!! I really hope your bloods come back clear so you can start as soon as you feel ready!

Lulu - delighted all went well at the scan! Looking forward to seeing a picture!

Lindsay & Almost - parent teacher meetings - ugh!!! We have ours in about a month. Keep telling myself I should start getting organised now so I won't be swamped with work in the few days beforehand... (like I usually am!)

 

[TwoRdue]

Pink - that is great news and we all want to hear it!! EVERYONE here is supportive for all no matter what stage you are at..

 

[bubumaci]

Puh ... another 5 pages overnight and I have been trying to remember everyone I want to respond to and find myself suffering from severe amnesia

Angie : I am soooo happy that you guys are giving it another go!!!
Want I am sorry about your scare Sweetie!
Pink - that's wonderful that your scan was so positive two days ago

I think I will try with the pineapple core + walnuts (sounds like such a funny idea - but hey, we jab ourselves silly for 10 days and push progesterone inside us ... why not eat some yummy fruit and nuts?!) I guess we just have to buy a pineapple and cut out the core?

Also - sorry for missing the other posts - I was trying to remember who to answer to and forgot..

Ah.... unicornate uterus (desperate apologies that I can't remember your name right now - my brain is seriously striking on me!!) - that was my first thought, whether it might not be too risky / difficult for you to carry twins... I am sorry that it was so much information to process, but I am glad that you trust your physician so much - he probably knows what he is talking about.

Also .. for the women in the same boat as me, who have not had implantation yet : it is not unusual!! Think of all the cycles entirely healthy couples often have to go through before they get a pregnancy. OK so we have the advantage that we already have the security of fertilisation - but : nature is a tough cookie and selection of the fittest (good old Darwin) starts right at the beginning. If there is anything wrong with how the cells are developing - the body won't accept it... and even if fertilisation has occurred - there is no guarantee that a) it will continue to develop, b) it will implant etc. etc. etc.
Unfortunately, that forces us to have to have huge amounts of patience, will power, ... money (hmpf) and so on and so forth. We are intervening where nature won't allow us to get pregnant with our partners (or alone, whichever route we are taking) naturally... and then we get to the point, where we can't outsteer nature and have to let her take her course. And of course we get impatient, because - hey - we have overcome the hurdles we thought were in our paths... Mother nature is yet another "hurdle" and one we can't influence...

I firmly believe we will all have our successes here - some more quickly than others and in the meantime, we can just be there for each other and be patient...

My goodness, I sound like I am on my soapbox - time to get down and trundle off to work...

Wishing you all a wonderful Friday out there :wave:

Prayin and Stinas ~ I hear you guys on the PIO.. I hate those things! Like you said Stinas, it's hard to find a spot that is not bruised or doesn't hurt to poke the next injection in. I am still taking them but I've asked my RE to let me alternate suppositories and injections and he said that is fine.. Yaaay!

MrsC ~ I'm sure the nursery is going to be super cute. Make sure you get before and after pics.

Here are my little beans..
