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

[Stinas]

Thanks ladies....oddly I was excited but hoping if it does happen again, its not at work. lol
Yes, my scan is thursday!

For all you FET ladies.....how long did you do the estrace for?

 

[MoBaby]

I'm not on it b/c I did natural FET but my re uses it for 12 weeks.

 

[bubumaci]

What's the difference between a natural FET and a non-natural one?

 

[MoBaby]

On a natural fet you ovulate and use opks to time ovulation.. You then go in 6 days after natural lh surge. Since your body has ovulated a corpus luteum forms and you make all your own hormone. In medicated the re controls everything and can time exactly when you come back in. And you have to take progesterone and estrogen with a medicated (non natural) for 12 weeks.

Mo do you know the success rates between medicated fet and natural? You've got me curious x

 

[MoBaby]

Likkle the success rates are the same according to my RE. Most REs use the medicated b/c they can time it just right. Since my clinic does transfers everyday timing wasnt an issue and because I ovulate the same every month and am regular it was easy to predict things.

AFM: Scan this morning. It wasn't good.... IT WAS GREAT!!!! Omg. Baby wasn't as active as I hoped but he got to moving and turned around and moved his little arms (disclaimer: i dont know if its he or she but I just say he ) HB was between 168 and 173. Measured 2 days ahead at 10w6d. SO happy. I graduated. Gave everyone hugs. And cried. My RE almost cried as well. He was teary eyed! It was fantastic. I am so sad to leave them but so happy to begin a new adventure. Here is my baby:

What a beautiful picture - really happy for you Mo (and I must admit, a tad jealous )
So I have always had medicated FETs then... thank you for the explanation

 

[Chris_25]

Has anyone done BC pills twice a day? I'm on day 6 of them and I don't feel too good. Having hot flashes, nausea and just anxious

 

[MoBaby]

Are you on estrace Chris? What's the name of your meds?

 

[anmlz86]

Chris- yea, I had to do bcp twice a day when I had a pretty good sized cyst beginning of this year. I didn't have any side effects, but I'm sure it depends on which brand of bcp they put you on. It wouldn't hurt to let your doc's office the side effects you are experiencing just to be on the safe side. Hope you get to feeling better.

 

[Likklegemz]

Mo beautiful! I'm so pleased for you x x x

Stinas good luck for your scan tomorrow x x x

 

[Chris_25]

Are you on estrace Chris? What's the name of your meds?

It's called microgestin. I only have a few days of it left, so I will just deal with it. I had a lot of cysts and hoping they go away by my next scan.

 

[Stinas]

Ohhh makes sense then.....I cant do natural because I ovulate super duper late....like cd 30+

Mo - Thats AMAZING!!!!!! Super happy for you!!!!!

Chris - I only did them once a day.


What do you guys think I will see on my scan tom? I will be 5w6d. Probably just a blob?

 

[MoBaby]

You should see a gestational sac (or 2 ), a yolk sac and a fetal pole. I saw a hb at 5w6d but you may not see it just yet. I can't wait to hear about it!

 

[Stinas]

Last time we saw flickers...but I dont remember when exactly that was.

 

[Jenn76]

Awe! Beautiful baby pic Mobaby! So happy for you!!! Do you plan on finding out Gender?

 

[MoBaby]

No I'm team yellow!!!! according to my mom I have to find out... Umm no!! I want a surprise ending

I get to stop the crinone in 10 days!! Re had me thinking I was going to be on it throughout the pregnancy but he gave me the okay to stop at 12 weeks!! Excited!

 

[michelle01]

Mo - What an amazing picture and scan I am SOOOO happy for you!!! And yay for team yellow, but I am gonna say you have a little girl in there

Stinas - GOOD LUCK tomorrow

 

[MoBaby]

Michelle are you guessing girl b/c of the heartrate I have a theory I cant carry girls b/c the two mcs were female..only time will tell!

 

[azlissie]

Mo, great scan!! I love seeing them move on the screen. So happy for you!

Stinas, best of luck tomorrow! Can't wait to hear all about your scan.

Bubu, I hope everything goes well with your surgery & you have an easy recovery.

Hello to everyone else! Sorry I'm not posting here that often but I am reading & keeping up with everyone. Dawson is doing great - he weighed 8lbs 2ozs on Monday and he's still sleeping 6-8 hours straight at night. He got a little mixed up yesterday and slept from 3 in the afternoon til 10:30 but I think he's back on schedule today.

Hope you're all doing well!
