January 2012 IVF

[Hoping1986]

Desperate4567 I also had ER on Thurs, but my ET was today; Sunday (3 day transfer) I am not going back to work until Thursday...thats what my nurse recommend, but she did say no need to stay in bed. Just take it easy...and no sex for five days. My main thought that I needed to stop is that they will somehow fall out if I use the toilet, lol. I am at ease now because I know I cant control my results at this point....but I am going to eat pineapple for next three days (cant hurt)

Good Morning ladies, I'm on my phone live from the Dr. I'm laying down tilted at an angle, lol. This transfer was PAINFUL. My cervix was playing hide n seek, the cathetor was crucial. I was crying and reminding myself that this is my dream and it will be soo worth the pain. Then once she got the two in I lay here for 30 min.

Re said one embryo is perfect, and one is pretty good...I have a pic!

Date for progesterone/estradiol blood test is 2/16....going to be a long two weeks

So sorry to hear the ordeal with transfer...Did you have any valium on board? Did they have you make sure your bladder was full? Very excited for your two embies!

This made me laugh out loud, fall out in the toilet!!


So I had my retrieval today, I was such a nervous wreck - could NOT sleep last night! The doctor was able to 16 and we will get the fertilization report tomorrow. I am pretty sore but taking Vicodin as needed (I'm ok to take it until transfer). Have a heating pad in place, so nice!! I wish they would have given one to me at the retrieval, I feel like I wouldn't have needed any extra medicine. Also, my nurse was so rude and mean - it made me embarassed to be a nurse myself.

Ok, will post my fertilization stats tomorrow!

Babydrms..16 is great!!

 

[sarah10380]

Desperate - Good luck and take it easy xx

AFM - Well OTD is tomorrow but I tested today and a negative so I dont hold out much hope now... I will test again in the morning though and then call the clinic with the outcome. They will tell me to stop cyclogest if its a negative and then my period will come if I am not pregnant xx

Yay for 16 babydrms, that's a good haul! Gl for fr! X

So stupidly at 4.30am this morning (can't sleep) I did a POAS obviously it came up as a :BFN: now I have convinced myself that it's not worked and that my mood swings and cramps are :AF:

 

[Hoping1986]

icklefish it is tooo soon!

 

[icklefish]

I know, I'm stupid!! It's my 1st day back in work today too since ER, I though it would keep my mind off it but it has'nt, clearly I am not working hard enough!

 

[Springy]

ickle - way too soon - hang in there! Your BFP may be right around the corner

 

[Arimas]

babydrms- That is great! Hope your embies grow strong and healthy!

Hoping-Hope you feel better - enjoy eating the pineapple!

Icklefish-Its too soon, i have been testing and getting BFN also, hang in there

ASF- I have had spotting since yesterday, 12dp5dt, so I dont know if it is AF coming of implantation bleeding ? I hope its implantation and thats y i have been getting bfn, but tomorrow i will tell the RE whats going on and see what they say. This is the worst roller coaster of emotions EVER

Take care everyone

 

[icklefish]

I have no more tests at home so I won't be able to do any more (unless I buy some) I don't know why I thought I'd get a + at only 7dp3dt, I blame google i was searching yesterday on google trying to find out when people got their +.
Thanks for the support ladies
xx

Hi everyone. Had transfer of 2 today. Now 2ww starts. Off work till tuesday and hope thats enough time. Anyone think I need more? Slight twinge in right side tonight but too early to be anything important.

Hope you are resting up! Congrats on two to transfer!

Desperate - Good luck and take it easy xx

I'm so sorry Kristy. has the dr advised of any additional testing they may do?

That stinks that the transfer was a challenge. Try to focus on having two great beans in there! It will all have been worth it.

So stupidly at 4.30am this morning (can't sleep) I did a POAS obviously it came up as a :BFN: now I have convinced myself that it's not worked and that my mood swings and cramps are :AF:

I agree with the other ladies, too early although I have become a poas addict myself.

babydrms- That is great! Hope your embies grow strong and healthy!

Take care everyone

Don't give up until the fat lady sings! The emotions are by far the hardest part of the ivf process.

I got the call that my second beta has doubled in just short of 48 hours. It is starting to feel real. I was freaking out because my first beta was on the low side but feel some relief now.

 

[KristyHart]

Thats great news 31. Xxxx

I have to arrange a follow up. My clinic seem to be pretty pants to be honest. Not sure what to do, think, believe anymore xx

 

[Hoping1986]

31andTrying Congrats! sooo happy for your good news

 

[Arimas]

It seems like AF is on its way, this is so disappointing. I know that even in natural pregnancies there is no guarantee but you invest so much of your time, emotions, and money in this you want it to work out. I called the clinic and told me to continue my meds til a full flow but this is more than spotting now. Unless it stops all of a sudden, it looks like AF to me.

Anyway, I will still update on this thread until I know for sure. Take care ladies

 

[icklefish]

That's great news 31 xx

Kristy, easy to say I know but keep your chin up, it will happen, stay strong xx

Arinas, I'm keeping everything crossed for you and praying it's implantation xx
