January 2012 IVF

[Mrs. Bear]

ST - My clinic typically does 3 day transfers so I based it off of that. It is always possible that it is a different day but that is what is most likely.

Looks like it's going to be a super busy week!

Good luck to all those triggering and collecting this week. Best growing wishes to those still developing follies

Getting exciting!! Sounds like we will be having a pretty active week coming up

With princess triggering tonight, me probably tomorrow and then it sounds like a LOT potentially triggering on Monday and Tuesday, we will have triggers, retrievals and transfers going for the next week solid at the very least!

sounds like a busy week for a lot of you...how exciting!! we will have a lot of pupo's!

AFM - i have to push my IVF cycle back 30 days because my bloodwork came back on thursday and it turns out that i'm not immune to chicken pox...what??? I had chicken pox when i was little, but after talking to my mom today she said that it was a mild case so I guess that is why i'm not immune now. So yesterday i had to get the vaccine and now i wait 30 days before i start stimming...booooooo. i also had a mild reaction to the vaccine and was told I probably shouldn't attend the 1 year old birthday party that i was supposed to go to today, because there is a slim chance that i could give the baby chicken pox

 

[Mrs. Bear]

That stinks Sarah - sorry you have to delay Good news is they caught it though because you definitely don't want to catch it during a pregnancy. The 30 days will go by before you know it. Are they putting you on BCP or are you just going to wait til the next AF shows?

 

[sarah10380]

You are right Mrs. Bear...i'm glad they caught it now instead of when i'm pregnant. Another 30 days really isn't that bad since i've been waiting so long already to get pregnant I started on BCP on Tuesday...so I will just stay on it for the next month. I'm actually glad to be on it, maybe it will clear up the zits I got on my back from using Femara

Sarah I have a low immunity to rubella and had to get immunised and wait too, it's a pain but better then causing problems in pregnancy

Trigger has been done
It was pretty uneventful
Looking forward to no jab at all tomorrow, and staying in a hotel so were not late for ec on Monday

 

[Mrs. Bear]

Princess - Glad the trigger went well. Enjoy your shot-free day and mini-vacation in the hotel. Perfect excuse to order in some room service and spend the day being lazy

 

[schoolteacher]

try to enjoy the hotel princess!

Sarah- I was gutted about having to delay 10 days, so 30 days is a right pain! x

How long after your rubella shot did you have to wait? I have heard conflicting things, some say 30 days some say 3 months ..... I need one but if it's 3 months I may take my chances and not get it as I don't want to wait 3 months!!!!

 

[Mrs. Bear]

Just got the call - retrieval is Tuesday! He said my E2 is high, over 5000. Asked how I was feeling and told me to drink a lot of gatorade. He didn't say anything about delaying transfer but he may just plan to wait and see or wants to consult with my RE first. I trigger tonight at 830.

The Dr that did my scan said that with as many eggs as I will likely have they may end up doing a 5 day transfer so transfer would be either Friday or Sunday depending on how things go (if I'm not delayed for the high E2).

 

[berki]

Princess and Mrs Bear- good luck to you both this week!! yay!

Carolyn- We have lots of women coming in to have their babies who arent rubella immune, if I had to wait 3 months I would prob take my chances too!!

 

[schoolteacher]

Good luck for trigger mrs bear! X

 

[babydrms]

Wow, so much to catch up on - This is going to be such an exciting week!!

Things are crazy again, classes have started and I am already sooooo stressed out that I am going to drop this class and take it once we get our bfp. I just can't deal with more right now. I hate wasting the money, but if I am stressed out and end up with a bfn we will have wasted money there too...

I saw great numbers for everybody! Stalking!!

I am hoping they will let me start stimming on Monday, but the latest it could be the 19th to have our tests resulted...fx'd nothing else comes up. That follie that showed up on birth control really makes me nervous - hope it doesn't become a cyst.

Then on a different note...So a woman I considered to be one of my closest friends, told me she was pregnant in a room with 5 other friends last night at a party. She is one of the only people who knew what was going on with us, as she has been trying a year and a half - with two failed medicated IUI's, she also understood. However, I just felt that her telling me there was terribly insensitive and I feel like I underestimated our bond, because I would have told her the minute I got a bfp. I am happy for her, because they had exhausted the insurance benefits and I know she was stressing about what to do next, so a natural bfp is such a blessing for them. Then, her husband, which is best friends with my husband (I made him tell DH, it wasn't my news to share), and also knows we are doing IVF, takes him into a room and tells him that he "slipped one past the goalie" - really, if we got pg on our own six months ago and said that to him he would have been mortified!

I am struggling with this whole situation, I don't want to overreact, but I just never would have expected it from them. Just felt insensitive. I know that weren't trying to hurt our feelings...ugh. Rough night last night.

 

[Mrs. Bear]

babydrms - so sorry they did that to you guys It is one thing if you aren't close and they don't know what you have going on, but to not only know but have been through treatments themselves you would think they would be a little more sensitive. Just proves that even people who have dealt with infertility treatments can be idiots too. Sounds like the guy may have just not known what to say so ended up saying it stupidly, but for her to tell you in a big group knowing your struggle isn't very sensitive to what she knows you have been though. Maybe a little distance would be good since they didn't purposely try to upset you but just handled it poorly

FX you don't have a cyst and can start stims soon - I know you will forget all about it after you get your BFP I hear you about the classes. I just dropped the two I was registered for after deciding I didn't need anything else to worry about these days.

 

[wishingalways]

Hi ladies, im not quite at your stage probably not starting stimming for another few months but my fingers are crossed for you all and I will be stalking you all. X x x

 

[berki]

Babydrms. I recently had a situations like that occur too and its so frustrating. My "friend" put her announcement on facebook and then sent me an inbox message the next day, like I hadn't already seen her status.
Also the other night one of my BFF's texted me (she knws everything) and was complaining that it was midnight and her daugther was awake and she wanted to sleep and that I was so lucky that I got to go to sleep, I was like umm I would give ANYTHING to be doing what you are right now... ughhh... people!!!

 

[vesper21]

Hi all, been awol for a couple of days. Had some spotting a couple of days ago but dr. said it wasn't uncommon.

Had b/w and u/s for the last 4 days and triggering tonight! I thought I'd be triggering tomorrow but my E2 level is just over 3000 (which is a lot lower than my last cycle at point of trigger), which worries me as it's an indication of number of eggs. But have to do as I'm told so 11pm tonight will be my last stab! Have to go in for pre-op and last u/s and b/w tomorrow at 6.30AM

Happy last stab Mrs. Bear!

Princess - all the best for tomorrow! Hope you get lots of juicy eggs

 

[aem118]

Hey ladies!!!! Sooooooo nauseous!!!! Day 11 of stimming.. Last day of shots is tomorrow!! Anyone else experience this??

 

[vesper21]

Yeah, I did. Quite a few times... make sure you eat plenty and drink lots of water. It helped me.

Some people in sensitivities never ever surprise me these days. I'm so sorry you had to deal with that this weekend

Hang in there, your time is coming and you will be more appreciative and more sensitive about your announcements when it's your turn.
