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

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Well ladies.......I am officially PUPO!!!!!!!!!!!
I was on edge all morning after making the go ahead thaw call. Our embryo thawed nicely. He said out of 100% it was a 70%, which is not great, but it was showing that it was expanding and growing, so thats good. I dont care about the rating, after our 5aa fresh cycle didnt work, I think the grades are a bunch of bs lol Just happy we got this far. I have bloodwork this fri probably to check progesterone levels and then Nov 2 is preg test! I dont know if I will test early or not....I guess time will tell!
Thank you all for you lovely words this morning!!

Want - Glad everything went well!!!

Michele - Yay for starting lupron!!! Im sure you can go somewhere else to do the SA. When DH went we did all 3 at different places. Some of those places that draw blood do them as well! Call around.

Drsquid - I dont think I can shove that stuff up me......I cant do the gooey stuff....but if all works out, doc said I can alternate PIO and them.
How did you know you were allergic?

Mo - Thats soooo exciting!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!

Im so happy for you!!!!! Easier said than done but try your hardest to relax

Yayyy... Congratulations on being officially PUPO All fingers and toes are crossed for you

Well ladies this round is yet another bfn. I am getting so discouraged & I don't know if there's any point to keep doing this to myself. Surely if this was ever going to work it would have by now. I am sick & tired of throwing money down the drain & going through emotional hell - maybe I should just accept that it won't ever happen & I should give up.

I am so sorry .... I am also wondering what a pp asked - about the testing. In your siggy, it says you have done IUI and IVF (+FET) and are now back to IUI ... For us, it is definite that only ICSI will work for example, so they wouldn't even bother with the rest ... have they done all the testing to find out what the fertility issues are? I really hope that you are advised well (certainly understand the money going down the drain point - we are in the same boat) and I know it is easy to be discouraged... I hope you can have a good clarifying talk with your doctor!

oy fell up the stairs tonight.. good thing im single or no one would believe me.. landed on my right knee and left hand then tipped forward and smacked my eyebrow into a doorknob. didnt hit my belly./ bet im gonna get a black eye.. sigh

Oh dear, I am sorry you did the falling up the stairs thing (which I most certainly do believe!!) have managed it myself! Luckily didn't end up with any damage - I am sorry that you banged into the doorknob

 

[GettingBroody]

Az - I am so so sorry hon You know where we are if you need a good rant or a cry...

NotOpt - not long to go now! Good luck at your apt!

Mo - yay for af!

Michelle - yay for starting lupron!! That's very frustrating about the SA - is it going to delay things for ye?

Stinas - congrats on being PUPO!!! So thrilled your little frostie thawed well! That must have been a nerve wracking wait!

DrS - ouch!! Glad you're ok!

Swepa & Honey - how are ye doing?

Everyone else - !!

 

[Jenn76]

Yay stinas! Hope mine thaw ok next week!

That's great news, FX for you! I know you had lots of frosties were they blasts?

oy fell up the stairs tonight.. good thing im single or no one would believe me.. landed on my right knee and left hand then tipped forward and smacked my eyebrow into a doorknob. didnt hit my belly./ bet im gonna get a black eye.. sigh

It's funny how easy it is to fall up the stairs, I've done that more then falling down them. Glad to hear you are okay. You'll have to come up with a funny tale for work. Tell them there was a riot at babies r us over a sale and all these preggo ladies duke it out.

 

[almosthere]

stinas sorry for the fall and sore eye, but glad to hear baby was not bonked!!!!

 

[michelle01]

Stinas - YAY for being PUPO

az - I am so sorry Hopefully you get some answers; it is frustrating, I am starting cycle #3 and hoping this one results in a different outcome. I believe after you give youself some time you will be ready to start again and become a mommy!

drsquid - OUCH! Hope you are OK and that you don't end up with a black eye.

GettingBroody - I will be delayed about 3-6 days; not sure when they were going to initially start my stimming, but I was told they won't start until 11/9 or 11/10 now since they have to wait the results of the SA. Just praying that the SA results are still good since I started lupron already. I would hate to be injecting myself for no reason.

Jenn - Yea, 11/8 is insane! They used to do them daily and with the amount of patients they have I am shocked they have not hired anyone else. So aggrevating!

So....after calling and trying to find a place to get the SA done somewhere else for DH before 11/8, I talked to the hospital right across the street from me and they said they could do it. Just bring in the sample before noon! I was so happy and then the tech from my FS calls me back; I explain to her about the hospital being able to do this and she tells me that my doctor wants this done by his staff only. Are you freaking kidding me!!?! I should have called them 2 weeks ago for this, but did not realize that the times for this had changed. I was so aggrevated. I had to tell myself that this is out of my control and just to deal with it; I am trying to not get stressed out this cycle. It is what it is, we just have to make that date work.

STINAS - YAY for being PUPO girl!!!!!

 

[notoptimistic]

Jenn - yup, they were all day 5 blasts. Unbelievable that I got so many good ones. I just need one (or two) to stick!!

 

[drsquid]

michelle- what a pita. good luck

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

Hello All, sorry for not being more vocal on here this past week. I always have a hard time after a cycle doesn't work and with t his one I have had the added emotions of coming to terms with using donor eggs along with the donor sperm. I always knew that was going to be a possible outcome, but now that it is here I've had to really decide I am ok with it.

I had my mandatory counseling session today which went well. I was a little discouraged because I have been hoping to get started quickly (start bcps with my next cycle) so I could do a de cycle while I was out of school during winter break but I guess their labs close for a little while over the holidays. They are looking in to seeing if we can still make it work so I don't have to keep missing so much school. I am waiting to hear back now.

I hope everyone is doing well. I can't wait to hear how people's transfers and thawing goes. How exciting!!

Have a great day!

bomo= *hugs*

 

[jchic]

bomo - thinking of you honey. Hoping you can get started right away and remember you are building your family, no matter what, who or HOW xoxo

 

[michelle01]

bomo - Hope you can start soon; no matter how you end up getting your BFP, everything you are doing is all worth it in the end!
