January 2012 IVF

[babydrms]

Up at 6am going to lab for my beta so I guess I will get results while I'm at work. Woke up and saw brown spotting and when I wiped there was red blood. I kind of feel like how I feel when af comes...this is so unfair, I did eveything I was supposed to. My insurance only covered meds so I had to save up my $10,000 + more, and just like that it may be over. Ladies pray for my sanity.

I really hope you don't get bad news while at work...

Hey girl - check out this site

https://www.advancedfertility.com/blastocystimages.htm

You transferred a 1AA right?? 11 day post retrieval would be early for a positive beta.

This site is great isn't it? I go there all the time and they have amazing success rates but they are just a little too far (for monitoring) from us. Thank you for not throwing in the towel yet for me. Thinking I need to stay away from the FRER's until Monday when I have the Beta and let it all be final at once.

Beta results were neg I know my body so when I was 8dp3dt and my sore boobs were gone I lost a little faith. Yes the nurse called me when I was at work. I fought back tears, called hubby and told him, I could hear his disappointment. He figure you pay so much so its sure to happen.....
Re called me back and told me that she will do a next cycle free of charge, says she will give me Ganarelix instead of Lupron because it might've been too strong for me I just have to pay surgical fees which total $2810....start stims 3/2....et week of 3/12...I'm home thinking it over. What do you ladies think?

Hoping1986,

I'm sorry about your beta results.

It's really a great opportunity the RE is offering. Do you have a few days to think it over? If I were in your shoes I'd probably need some time to assess how I felt and to see if I was ready to jump back in.

Take care of yourself.

Wow hoping so soon! Over here you have to wait 3 cycles before doing another round to let your ovaries recover, it's a good offer that's she's doing it free, I'd take a couple Of days for you and DH to talk it over although i know if i was in your position I'd jump at the chance
Do what's best for you an DH tho Hun

That is a really nice offer of the RE, if your ready. If you need time take it. Some people like to jump right back in, others need time to collect themselves. Do what is best for you.

Sorry hoping-I know how you feel. It's a good offer but think carefully. I don't mean any disrespect to anyone but I think if you have a successful ivf cycle it's easier to say you would do it all again quickly. When it fails and it hits you hard I think you need time to recover. However people cope differently so if you feel ready and your Dr thinks you are then go for it. Hugs in the meantime x

So sorry this IVF cycle didn't work. I agree with your hubby, you figure you pay so much that it just has to work. No words will ever help console you. The offer from your RE sounds fantastic, but just make sure you are ready for it and are ok with doing things so quickly after this cycle. I guess you could always ask if you could wait a month and then proceed again. Ultimately you have to do what is right for you and your husband.

Hoping, I am so very sorry. (((HUGS)))

That is a great offer they gave you. You will need time to heal (emotionally and physically) before you should make any decisions.

Sorry im just pasting this same measge into all the threads i write in! :

Hi all! Got 26 eggs so 13 for me! Turns out actually had about 32 follies, the rest of what made them think i had 40 were enlarged tissue masses?? Never heard of that before, must be due to pcos and the drugs make them bigger. Some of the actual follies i guess were 2 small or empty. Consultant said my ovaries were very very enlarged, also seemed to take me a lot longer to come around this time, and I woke up with drip in me and oxegyn mask still on which didn't happen last time! Freaked me out a bit, an still no idea what drip was for? Will know tomorrow how many mature and how many fertilised.

Hoping I'm so sorry to hear your news, only you can decide what to do with starting again! Follow your instincts! X x x

Im going to jump back in and start stimming on 3/2.. I start birth control pills today and stop on 2/29. I went to RE today and talked to her for a while. I feel sad about results but not in a state of depression. I feel ready to try again. My other half says he's with me no matter the choice or outcome. One thing I WILL NOT do this time is have sex after transfer...this time taking it real easy.

There is a pediatrician next to re's office and today as I was leaving two of the moms stopped me in the hallway and ”I look way to young to be seeing a fertility specialist, give it some time, it'll happen” I was in a bit of a mood so I stopped, said ”mind your f***ing business” and walked away....eeek I felt a little bad in the elevator.

 

[KittyCat82]

You know what's best for you. In uk they don't really allow you to do another round for 2-3 cycles. Good luck to you and how rude of those women! x

 

[schoolteacher]

Lol naughty you, but really people should think before they speak! They have no idea! I would have said something similar.
Glad your happy with your choice hun. X x x

I don't think you should feel bad at all - THE NERVE of these people. My head would have exploded!

 

[Springy]

I think you were actually really polite by only saying "mind your F#$@# business" I would have said a lot more and been a lot ruder!!!!!

Not sure what your clinic says but I know here they tell you no intercourse for sure in the TWW wait and I want to say up to the first 10 or 12 weeks for IVF patients. I know it is a LONG LONG time ....

 

[babydrms]

Hoping - my clinic said absolutely NO intercourse during that time - maybe you needed better discharge instructions...?

 

[Hoping1986]

omg! My nurse told me no sex for four days then it would be okay. I didnt think it would make a big difference, but now im beating myself up because im searching for reasons why it didnt work and everybody says they dont do it until way after their bfp... lesson learned.

 

[Care76]

Don't be too hard on yourself. I have read studies where they say sex after ET is better for implantation. But I have also read a lot on the opposite too. We were told no sex until further notice, which is still weeks away (until I get my ob and him and the clinc doctors discuss my case).

 

[tortoise]

Hi ladies
seeking some advice - my OTD was on Friday but I'm currently in Rwanda on a work trip and can't find a test! I'm still taking progesterone supplements which are presumably stopping my AF coming. Don't think IVF has worked - sore boobs have lessened considerably over last three days. Do you think I should stop the progesterone and see what happens?

[Care76]

No, don't stop the progesterone! If you are pregnant you could loose the pregnancy from the sudden drop. My breasts are not nearly as sore as they were a week or two ago, but my numbers are still increasing. Don't give up. Try to find a test asap, and don't stop progesterone until after a negative beta.
