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

[Lindsay18]

Stinas- sounds good, girlie!!! Can't wait!!! Xoxo

 

[Stinas]

azlissie - FX this one is it!!!

MrsC - I am trying to stay as positive as possible. Lots of people are far worse, so when I am complaining I try to think of that. We have our health, so thats really all that matters at the end of the day.

 

[BabyOnMyOwn]

AzLissie. . . fingers crossed this is your cycle!

 

[honeycheeks]

hi ladies....thank you all for supporting me. your hugs mean a lot to me. my doc said we need to give a break for 2months before another fet. does that make sense. we were hoping to do one earlier . is this standard protocol or should I ask them to do another fet sooner.

p.s..texting on my phone.my computer broke

 

[Pink gerbera]

Stinas - I'm so sorry like mrsC says though your attitude is great and if you keep up the positivity I know your time will come

Have a good day everyone else xx

 

[GettingBroody]

Stinas - sending so many hugs honey. I'm so sorry

Polly - I hope those follies continue to grow and catch up!!

Honey - I've no experience of FET sorry but hopefully someone else can help you...

Andrea - I think you did the right thing. Keeping everything crossed for you

Bubu - good luck today!

Almost - we don't have any frosties but if we did I would definitely pay to keep them... (Although this would also be the cheaper option for us since insurance doesn't cover any of it)

Afm, nothing new here - just enjoying watching my ticker count up the days!!!

stinas= *hugs* im so sorry

bomo= yay for getting in shape except then it is depressing to watch it go even when you are happy to be pregnant. i like my belly but i hate that my thighs etc are getting bigger though no one else seems to see it.

middle names- they are picked. Sadie for the girl and Kasper for the boy. maybe a bit weird cause that was my fathers parents names but they were so cute together and great people. id love to use either as first nmes but sadie has gotten too popular and kasper is a bit cruel

I have a kitten named Sadie, she is sooo sweet the name suits her. I agree Kasper would get the friendly ghost jokes. Or is that no longer on tv? I'm probably aging myself here. It's pretty sad when we need to think of if kids will make fun of the name when choosing.

I had the scan this morning, and apparently, two follies are growing a bit slowly, but growing- 1=13.5mm 2=11.5mm follies 3 and 4 are lagging badly at 7 mm and 4 mm. Strangely, the endo lining is already 10 mm thick and trilayered, so ready for receiving .... Gee, this is the exact opposite issue as Andrea!

Andrea- sorry it is so rough for you. Hey, 3 should be okay, no? one is joy, two is extra joy and three is so much fun! 3 would be a bit cumbersome to carry, but quite alright. GL, an don't you worry!

LOL! I was pretty dried up too, but trust me you will always be able to cry through this. Remember you're not the only one that had these results, I had 4 follies and they were slow to respond to Stims as well. It gets more stressful after the ER and you don't know whether they will make it. Two of my three did, and both implanted. So trust me there is always hope.

Stinas I am sorry to hear this round was not it for you-but I am very hopeful for your next transfer for next year!!

AFM, I have a question. For those of you are are pregnant but have frosties for future babies-are you going to keep them in storage for FET or try for natural ivf again in the future? I feel so confused as to what to do-and feel that a natural cycle will be cheaper than storing my 2 frosties....86 a month (not covered by insurance unfortunately) and it will be like over 2,000 if we store them for a couple years-my natural ivf was about 2,700 from what I can remember....I am just so stuck as to what to do-the bills really stress me out!! :/

I didn't have any to freeze, but I agree that i thought about the same thing with them all being conceived at the same time and wondering what they would all be like. Can you look at other clinics for storing them? Mine only costs $200 per year to store. $1000 a year seems high to me.

MrsC - I am going to stick to the same clinic and urologist. It was not their fault it didnt work....it was just poor embryos made from poor sperm. The urologist was pretty confident that clomid would help the production of sperm. I am praying it could just wake up his production and just come out naturally, but I know thats pretty far fetched. Anything is better than nothing at this point. I wish there was a cure as well. Shame there isnt.

Almost - I dont have a BFP, but I can say that FET's are a lot easier on your body than a cycle of IVF. I would spend the 2k in a heartbeat.

I hope the clomid works.

Stinas, I am so sorry that this FET didn't work out for you - it's just heartbreaking. I am thinking the same thing, that if this IUI doesn't work I'm going to take a few months off, focus on my own health and then try again. I hope you can get some answers with your follow up visit.

Andrea, I don't have any idea what the chances are that all 6 would fertilize and stick but it has to be incredibly low. I've had 5 IUI's, most with 3 or 4 follies, and never even a hint of a bfp so if I had 6 I would definitely want to go ahead. I'm really hoping this is it for you!

I love the names that are floating around - you've all got some great ideas! I have a girl name - Lainey - that I've loved forever but no idea what to do for a boy. I'm like BOMO - as a teacher I think of former students whenever I think of baby names. Like I will never name a boy Jeff because the biggest jerk kid I've ever had was a Jeff!!

MrsC, how are you and the hubby? Hope you're getting over your cold!

Hope everyone's week got off to a good start!

As a kid I loved the movie She's All That which had a Lainey only time I've ever heard it. Good pick!

hi ladies....thank you all for supporting me. your hugs mean a lot to me. my doc said we need to give a break for 2months before another fet. does that make sense. we were hoping to do one earlier . is this standard protocol or should I ask them to do another fet sooner.

It's probably best to go with what the doctor says. Mine makes you wait three months between cycles. Says the body needs to rest. Hoping the new year brings luck!

 

[almosthere]

oh wow jenn that is quite an amazing storage fee deal!! now I want to look into average prices. hope all ladies are well today!

 

[GettingBroody]

Almost, I think our clinic is €300 a year but I'm not at home now. Will check later...

 

[AndreaFlorida]

I think my clinic is around 580 per year I am not 100% sure but I'm sure soon we will find out because I might could only pay half a cycle such as (do ER then freeze and wait until I can afford the rest) I duno they have laid it out as an option because I just can't afford it all at once.....but I guess we will find out soon!! Eeeek

I hope you are all doing good today God bless and have a great day....looks like the weather is gonna be nice here today It totally stormed so bad last night I was kinda scared!

 

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Hi Ladies

Hope all are doing well....Thinking of everyone and always keeping you in my prayers.

 

[jchic]

Hi all! Sorry I havent been on, its been a crazy weekend.

Stinas - I JUST caught up now. I am so freaking sorry girl. UGH, my heart breaks for you, but you are a FIGHTER and please, please do not give up now. Its always darkest before the dawn. Your time will come, it will. I have no doubt in that. I am glad you are meeting with your doctor, evaluating protocol and seeing if anything can be added/changed to improve your next cycle. You have my support and I am pulling so very hard for you. This TTC business is so hard. I swear, noone gets tested like the ones that struggle like us, you know? I went through every emotion possible. Anger, Sadness, jealousy, self pity, hope, etc. It really throws you for a loop when you are on this rollercoaster ride. I KNOW next years cycle will bring you your take home baby or babies. All my love.

hi there everyone , I did ICSI in October and the clinic did froze all embies . the reason for cancelling my fresh cycle was that my lining thickness the day before my HCG trigger shot was 14.5 . They said it was a bit too thick . They said ideal lining thickness they wanted to see was somewhere between 9 to 13.
Have any of you heard of this ? Or any success with this " extra" thick lining ?

 

[bubumaci]

Hey Honey - I was allowed to do FETs two months in a row after my failed fresh cycle and this FET was again after a failed fresh cycle ... because all they really do is the transfer and you are not exposing your body to the harsh hormone treatment (only progesterone) ... at my clinic that was OK...

... sadly, none of our prayers went answered - today's blood test was again negative. I still have to go in again on Friday morning for the 9dp5dt test ... but my heart is a little broken, as it really would be wishful thinking for that test to say anything else.

@ godskid - I have no idea about too thick lining! I know mine was measured at around 14mm the day before my frosties were thawed this time around and they didn't say anything about too thick!

 

[GettingBroody]

Oh Bubu, I am so sad for you....
