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

[MoBaby]

Mo - Its pretty gross and painful. The nurse told me today that if estrogen is low even while taking all 3 pills, she would have to put me on the vaginal ones too(bloods came out fine so I dont) so I am guessing thats why she has to do it that way.

Okay, makes sense. They have me starting with 2mg twice daily... did you increase to 3 times daily? I add vivelle patches in sometime.

 

[almosthere]

so sorry for your loss swepa

want and lindsay sorry you have to experience spotting. i agree that we will probably always worry and until baby i in our arms (even then I will be worrying!! LOL). I had a horrid dream 2 nights ago that I bled like crazy after IVF and did not even get to my beta it felt so real and was so scarey....must be a pregnancy symptom of mine-very specific, vivid dreams...glad it was just a dream!

 

[MrsC8776]

Want & Lindsay, so sorry about the spotting. After all this work to get the bfp it would be nice to just relax & enjoy the next nine months!

Bubu I'm keeping my fingers crossed for your embies. I'm really hoping this fet will be the lucky one!

Angie I'm so sorry it's not going to work out for you to do a donor cycle. I really appreciate your support & if I decide on another round of ivf I'll definitely talk to you about your meds! I hope you & DH have a good time in Vegas!

Afm no AF yet but I think she's on her way so I'm going to make an apt to see my re on day 3. That way I can jump right in with another iui if that's what I decide I want to do.

Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

I hope she shows soon so you can get started again.

Hi guys - had lining check and blood work this morning. FET is scheduled for Wednesday! My lining is 15. Unfortunately, in the beginning of the cycle they switched me from taking estrace orally to taking it vaginally which means that I can't do the progesterone suppositories. I have to do the injections. I have to run out soon to pick up the progesterone and syringes because my first one is tonight!

Fx for Wednesday!

bubumaci - YAY exciting!!!

Lindsay - I hope you are being a couch potato today!!!

notoptimistic - Sooo sorry you have to do PIO. I HATE them! Just a little tip....do not ice the area and before switching to the injection needle, warm the tube under running hot water, then change needle to inject. It helps it come out easier.

Speaking of PIO.....changed cheeks today, well I guess i went right into the bruise because once I took the needle out, out comes squirting blood. lol Yummy.

Yikes! That sounds horrible. Hopefully that doesn't happen again.

I hope I dont have to do progesterone IM!!! I cant handle it!! Stinas: That sounds horrid! EEK!!
Not: Why did they change your estrace to take it vaginally?

I just picked mine up!! Should start it tomorrow morning!! I'm assuming its oral since it says take twice daily.

Yay for moving forward!

i dreamt one of the 2 fell out and they picked it up with a paper towel

 

[notoptimistic]

Mo/stinas: I started on estrace pills orally three in the am and three in the pm but my estrodiol was too low so they increased it to four and four. That wasn't good enough either so they told me I had to take them vaginally ( 2 in the am and 2 in the pm). My estrogen shot up in 48 hours from around the 160's to 1962 (numbers may be a little off)! They neglected to tell me that by switching to vaginal I wouldn't be able to do the progesterone suppositories as planned. I guess you can't put estrogen and progesterone up there together!

Bubu- yay! I'm sure they will thaw just fine. I'm also doing two.

 

[Stinas]

Mo - I went from 2 - 3 a day. It says you should eat with them. When its time to take all 3 of them, plus the doxy, plus the other antibiotic 2x a day, it gets confusing lol I had to write notes on the bottles because I lost track of what I took. Even with the estrace, I tend to forget how many I took.

notoptimistic - ahhhhh makes sense. That just sucks....I wonder why they dont have estrogen in shot form. I would soooooo take anything over these PIO's. Nurse told me as time goes by it will get even harder....I told her thanks for the encouragement lol It will all be worth it though.

 

[Pink gerbera]

Not and Bubu - Yey for Wednesday! Keeping everything crossed for you girls!!

Mo- glad you're making progress

Have a lovely Saturday everyone

Pink xx

My poor kitty had to be put down today He has had a little problem with his bowels over the past 8-10 months, missing the litter box, and daily oppsy clean-ups for the DH (it was getting very bad)...we took him to the vet a couple months back and they said he had colitis... gave us some meds and him a steroid shot and some high fiber food and said if it didnt stop to come back. DH took him in the morning when I was working call. The vet said the poor kitty was sick His heart was bad as he had a severe murmur and his bowels felt very sick.. She said we could have done a biopsy and ultrasound, but he would need anesthesia and didnt think kitty could survive it. She also said he would most likely throw some sort of clot from his heart b/c of the rhythm and that would be very painful for kitty. So we made the decision :*( He was 13 years old. DH had him since he was an iddy bitty kitty.

 

[Pink gerbera]

Mo I'm so sorry, that's really sad I hope you're not feeling too awful xx

 

[PollyJo]

I just started the lupron, yesterday. Chickened out for the earlier set, and decided perhaps I don't want to go for it...but decided again after a few months that this maybe my last chance. Either way, I'm wondering if anyone else is on this cycle for IVF. My baseline is pretty bad with 19.9 fsh, and 9 E2 and only 2 follicles on each ovary, but the doc decided to go ahead with it using the microflare, max. stim protocol. Honestly, I am scared! but am trying to be optimistic. Ladies, please give me some hope!! Hugs and baby dust!

 

[Lindsay18]

Mo- I'm so so sorry we just put our kitty down a couple weeks ago and he was only 3. Just rest assure that he had a long, amazing life with you and DH xoxo!!!

Polly- throwing TONS of baby dust you're way, girl!!!

What a scary dream! I've been having some very weird dreams as well. I thought it was an early pregnancy thing but apparently it will last the whole time for me.
