January 2012 IVF

[HuskyMomWI]

Hi Ladies,

I did a hpt and got a

My DH wanted me to test ever since ET I told him its too soon, so this had to be done so that he could come down to reality.

I go for my beta on Tuesday so just 4 more days!

Good luck to everyone and congratz to those who are preggo!

You have time yet for a bfp for sure! It is funny that he is the one wanting to test.

Arimas - It is still really early.

Berki and Springy - don't worry we will still be around.

Today is just a BLAH day. Nothing is going right. I got to my doctors appointment and they were like - "we've been trying to call you, our ultrasound machine is broken and we are going to have you go to our other office (an hour away) for your scan" WTF? Thankfully, a moment later my doctor walks up and she was having to take another patient to another doctors office in the building for a saline sono and she tells them she will take me up there too. So I get my labs drawn for the ninth time in less than two weeks in my same sore vein - ...Then, when I saw the MD upstairs - she tells me she thinks I won't be triggering until Sat or Sun which will royally F%$# my work schedule and also means I will have been stimming for two weeks and I am just done. My belly is feeling like it will explode soon, I can barely touch my boobs and everywhere I try to inject now it just hurts.

So then I leave and call my husband and he tells me, our flex spending declined 2/3's of our claim for all the medicine we paid for. Turns out even though I paid for it on 1/9, the papers all read 12/30 when they started filling the order in anticipation of me paying for it. So it looks like it would be for the 2011 flex account - not 2012. So I call pharmacy, work with someone for ten minutes on the issue and she hangs up on me. Finally I got someone to figure it out, but I know this is going to be an issue still - And it is not a small amount of money!!

Also, at acupuncture today - every needle just hurt and I started looking around and I have tons of little bruises everywhere that he has been puting needles - No wonder it hurts!!

I just want to be done. I AM SO DONE WITH NEEDLES!!

I'm going to take a nap and try and wake up on the right side of the bed because I feel like my BP must be through the roof right now.

Hang in there. This process sucks but it will be worth it. You are so close.

Went for ER today at 12pm. Everyone was very nice to my husband and I. They had me doped up on a great cocktail, lol. I didn't call or see my dr to ask how many eggs, I will call tomor and I guess then they'll tell me when for the ET . Going with hubby to get food now as I am starving. Only had a can of soup last night at 8pm.

congrats on the ER! I am excited to hear the report tomorrow.

Sorry you had such bad day babydrms


AFM i went for my first scan today, i had 9 follies at 8-9mm and several more less than 7mm. i'm not really sure whats normal, but my nurse said I was right on track. I have to go back on Saturday for my next scan...i guess i'm going to be going every other day until ER. My veins are going to hate me.

That sounds like a great report! 9 is the perfect number and you may even have more pop up between now and retrieval day.
Be sure to speak up if your arm gets sore. They can always use a separate vein for you.

i never really thought of this before and my doctor never said anything to me about it either, but what are the rules about drinking alcohol during ivf....i haven't been drinking of course, but what about my DH...can he drink? He just got home from work and opened a beer, he will probably only have 1 or 2, is that ok?

 

[princess_1991]

Sarah I didn't drink at all one I started dr (well I had one cocktail NYE) and DH didn't drink at all until after egg collection once he had done his bit because I wanted his sperm to be tip top

Sarah sperm are made 60 to 90 days in advance so 1 drink isn't going to matter of he needs to do his business next week.

Yep hang in there girls, there's been quite a few women I've seen on here that have got a negative hpt the day before beta then had a positive beta, don't loose hope

Thanks for the hugs - Your follies sound great! My veins do hurt, every time they try to go somewhere else they are unable to get any blood...Never thought I was a hard stick but seriously doubting the capabilities of the phlebotomist.

Yayee for retrieval, glad you had a great cocktail!!

Babydrms- Hang in there you are getting so close!!! It will all be over soon... hugs

Babydr - HUGS HUGS HUGS to you!!! Hang in there the BFP will ALL be worth it

Thanks for the support Berki and Springy, I seriously don't know what I'd do without these boards...I think DH is scared my head is going to start spinning!! I just can't stop myself from being cranky , nap didn't help . Just woke up with more energy to be angry about things - and I am NOT a crabby/angry kind of girl. I thought I was just going to skate by with no emotional symptoms but today was seriously rough!!

 

[vesper21]

BabyDrms - It sounds like the meds are working

Its the drugs sweetie! The BFP will be worth it....hard to envision that now but it will be. Hopefully only a few more days.

Do you know what you're going to do during your TWW to stay distracted?

I have everything crossed for you.

 

[Hoping1986]

Good morning ladies. Well I just called the dr office for an update on how many eggs were retreived...she said ”you know we didnt get too many right, we only got one” then she says wait a minute there are three..she then said you know what give me a little time go over everything and I will call you back. But the transfer will be on Sat or Sun. Ladies I am on edge right now, so many what if's going thru my mind...ugh. my own body has disappointed me. 12 days of stims and such a small collection number and what if they dont progress? sooo worried

 

[KristyHart]

Stay positive hun

I only had 2 collected after 14 days of stims. Only one injected and it did fertilise into a perfect embie. My OTD is Monday.

Its hard but be positive. Can't believe she didn't have all your info ready for you though. Give her a nudge xxx

 

[desperate4567]

Had my ER yesterday. Just got a phone call saying collected 20 but only 9 were mature and fertilized, but not sure if they will continue to grow.... fingers crossed for tommorrow AM... Good luck to everyone.

 

[desperate4567]

It only takes one.... Good luck and keep us posted.
