Congrats stinas for a great scan and heart beat. Happy birthday to DH.

YAY Mrs C. Enjoy all the moments and his girls would have missed him so much

AFM the days are crawling ugh. 3DP5DT trying to keep my sanity and fighting the urge to buy HPTs. My OTD isn't till 9th (that's like forever)

 

[Stinas]

Omg guys....my knees started shaking sooo much I don't know how I didn't knock her in the head! I was in shock.
I'm excited to see now what they are. Crazy. What's the percentage of one splitting less than 2%? Unbelievable....but exciting.

Sekky - are u going to test early?

Hi everyone, I hope it's ok to join your thread. I kind of feel like I'm already apart of the group as I have followed this group since my first IVF started which was actually last October! I could never bring myself to share with others what I was going through but took great comfort in seeing so many succeed on this thread, it just seemed like enough! I am getting ready for my first FET in fact started my Vivelle patches Friday! A little background about me since I know so much about you all, My DH and I have been married 13 years and have no children. We have been trying for 7-8 years. My DH is 34 with no issues and I am 32 and was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 24 and have tried timed intercourse with charting, clomid at every dosage then switched to femara at every dose adding in dexamethasone and metformin. We then moved on to having ovarian drilling and then started over with meds and then had 3 IUI's with medication all to no avail! We were blessed to find out that my insurance does cover IVF up to 15,000 for a lifetime so we moved on to that last year where we ended up with 22 eggs (I was slightly overstimulated) 14 fertilized, we put two in and 4 didn't grow well and ended up with 8 frosties! After the dreaded two week wait ( I cheated with FRER at 5dp5dt) we received good news that we were pregnant but needed to repeat the beta because it was a little low. We repeated the beta two days later and got great news that it was more than doubling and we were on our way! My DH and I were ecstatic and I shared the news with our close families as there was no holding it in. A week later I started to spot lightly which my doctor told me was ok but to watch and then a couple days later it got a little worse so I had a repeat beta where my doctor confirmed my suspicion that I was about to miscarry because my number was a little lower. My DH and I were devastated and so we decided to wait a while before trying again. We had no idea we would take a whole year off but that's what it ended up being and I guess I just really needed the time. I'm ready know but scared so I thought I would put myself out there and really try to connect to the only people that I know have stories so similar to mine and understand the anguish that a woman goes through when her body seems to betray her. I know that is really long for that I'm sorry but am excited to be a part of the group!

Stinas - Amazing news about your scan! But oh my on that third sac what a great bday present for DH

Two - hi!!! Jasper is soooo adorable!!

Hi everyone else! Hope things are good

Afm - things are going!!! We had one awful night but other then that dylan is sleeping between 4-6 hour stretches. I believe he was and still is a little constipated so that has affected his sleep a little. DH and I are going to the casino today for some adult time plus our 13 year anniversary is Tuesday, so we wanted to do something fun!!

 

[Lindsay18]

Happy Anniversary, Michelle!!! Glad he is sleeping better!

Jasper is so darn cute, Two!!!

Just read and caught up with everyone! Hope everyone is doing well and I miss being on here as frequently and talking to all of you! It makes it easier for those of you whom I'm friends with on FB

Reiken is doing well - can't believe he's 5 months already! For those of you who are not friends with me on FB, here is a recent picture that is by far my favorite to date LOL!!!

 

[Jenn76]

Lindsay: Saw that on FB already but man I have to say he is soooo fricken cute in that hat!!!!! Adorable!!!

Michelle: Glad to hear you are getting longer stretches of sleep. Happy Anniversary!

Welcome CD! Sorry to hear what you have been through. Glad that you finally joined us. As I'm sure you know there are a ton of fantastic ladies in here. I don't know how I would have made it through this with out them. Eight frosties is fantastic, I'm sure you'll never need them all this FET will work. Good Luck!!

[PRAYIN4BABIES]

Welcome CD!

 

[Stinas]

Michelle - Happy Anniversary!!!

Thursday I graduate from my re and also have my first OB apt!!! Excited! What should I expect?
Twin moms......how much more often do/did you get scans compared to a regular preg? Is a twin preg considered high risk?

 

[CDysart]

Thanks so much for the warm welcome!
Michelle Happy Anniversary
Bubumaci I hope you are right and this time is it for me!
Lindsay Reiken is so cute I loved the pic!
Jenn I feel very blessed to have gotten 8 frosties I hope that I get to save some for siblings.
Stinas I'm so excited for you to graduate to your OB that's awesome!

My RE upped my Vivelle dot from one to two patches every three days. How long does it take to complete FET? My RE said it varies so I was just curious about how long it took for others who have done one. I'm reading everything I can get my hands on about helping implantation but there are so many different things I can't decide what to follow. I'm eating pretty healthy no caffeine but anyone have any advice? I would really appreciate it.

 

[MoBaby]

my recent fet was a natural cycle... no meds. i ovulated on cd 14 took hcg to make sure i o'd and to boost progesterone, transfer day 20, beta day 34. so it was really easy. lining was checked when i had lh surge.

my first fet was with estrace and i took it for 26 days i think before transfer with progesterone starting day 20. beta day 40.

 

[bubumaci]

@ CD - whenever I have had a FET, it has been monitored to make sure that I ovulate (I use the Clear Blue Fertility Monitor - have been for 2,5 years - to get more accurate readings re my hormones and my LH surge), go in for ultrasounds + blood work. When I have ovulated, day later the are thawed and 4 days after that I have the transfer. Progesterone was all I had to take after ovulation and up until Beta #2 (I suppose I would have taken it longer if we would have had a BFP) - at my clinic blood is drawn ad 6dp5dt and 9dp5dt.

 

[Dis3tnd]

Hi guys wondering if I can join you - there are so many here with twins I would love the support!

I've had one successful FET in 2012 that gave me my beautiful 11 month old son. I did another FET this past August and we saw our heartbeatS at our 7 week scan on Monday (144 and 146). So excited to have twins on board! I've had some bleeding scares due to a couple hematomas but praying things stay okay.

I had horrible sickness with my first little guy - throwing up and nausea all the way until the day I gave birth. Believe it or not I feel even worse this time around - not even being able to keep water down this time!

 

[Dis3tnd]

He is perfect! So sweet!! Glad to hear from you and that all is well

MoBaby I am sooo excited to see you are preggo! I've thought of you often from when we cycled together back in 2012!
