June/July IVF/FET buddies! :)

[jsquared]

Hi Tiffany--I haven't transferred yet--start meds for the FET tomorrow! Finally How are you feeling? Any morning sickness yet?

Canadian, you're not out yet, but I know it sucks seeing those BFNs regardless. When is OTD?

 

[Mas1118]

2nd beta was 121 - it more than doubled in 3 days

 

[River54]

yay!!

 

[Mas1118]

I'm a little worried my numbers are low but my RE says I'm in the normal range - doubling time is good. I'm just gonna relax and enjoy finally being pregnant.
Becky - it may still be too early!! Keep hoping - I know I am!!

 

[Flannelsheets]

Yay, Mas! Doubling is the only thing that matters!

FX and doubly crossed for you, Becky.

 

[lanet]

Hi everybody.
Canadian I'm sorry you're seeing bfns, hang in there.
Congrats to everyone getting such wonderful betas.
I'm 5dp5dt, so scared to test but fee like I'm going to cave soon. Not really any notable symtoms that I couldn't blame on the pio.

Hi Ladies--how's everybody doing?

I started the estrogen support for my frozen cycle yesterday (one pill under the tongue 3x daily plus a patch), and last night I had the worst headache of my life. It was so bad I ended up calling the nurse line, and the nurse said it was fine to take Advil at this point. Here's hoping after a couple of days the headaches will fade; that's what happened with the stims. Anybody else have horrible headaches during your FET cycle? What did you do?

 

[Flannelsheets]

Yup, Jsquared. I had awful migraines. During the tww, too. Really awful. I think it was associated with the estrogen. (It was easy for me to pinpoint because I take an estrogen shot every 3 days, and for two weeks or so got bad migraines the day afterwards.) It seems to be better now, and I think that's because I'm producing more of my own progesterone now and the meds cause less of a spike. I'm sorry you're suffering. It's awful. During the tww (and after), my nurse said vicodin was ok (!!!), so I took it a bit. It turns out under my new ins. that acupuncture (for pain, not infertility) is covered, so I started doing that. You might look into that, too.

Such a price we pay for all of this! Feel better! xo

 

[CanadianMaple]

Just an update. I called the clinic about the BFNs and she bumped my beta up to Sunday. I asked her about getting another FET done in August (they make me do the BCP for a cycle) and she says my RE likes to see a natural cycle between tries.

I'm a teacher and a Sept FET is out of the question. I hardly have any sick days since I took 10 weeks off when my husband died. I'm wondering if this is just not meant to be.

 

[Flannelsheets]

Crap crap crap, Becky! So sorry! Try talking to your doctor about it after this cycle's over. Explain the situation. I'm on the academic schedule, too -- not everyone understands those constraints unless you explain it to them in stark terms. But if not August, maybe it might be possible around Thanksgiving or some other holiday? You'd only need one non-work day, right (transfer day)? With FET, at least you can time it to your schedule very precisely. I think it's doable, and that it's going to work for you! It IS meant to be sometime this year!!

 

[Mas1118]

Im sorry Becky - I hope everything ends up ok

 

[sunflowers28]

Hello!

I am doing my FET this week on Tuesday the 8th. Wanted to see if anyone else was doing it around the same time so I can pass the 2ww time.

This is my first FET and we only have one grade A embryo. I did my first IVF in January and miscarried at 8.5 weeks in March. Before that we did 3 IUIs.

I really hope this time it sticks.

I'm also suffering through these darn PIO shots and hate them even more this time than last time.

Edit - Under my name it still says I am pregnant from last time. How do I change my status?

 

[CanadianMaple]

Confirmed BFN. Good luck girls and thank you for the support.

I'm so sorry you're feeling this. Keep up hope. I am a teacher also and so I feel I only have this one shot. (Just started meds). No sick leave left and I'd get fired if they found out about the ivf. I asked earlier here if FET cycles require less monitoring? If so, could you plan for a weekend transfer you think?

 

[lanet]

I'm so sorry Becky. Hopefully you'll find a way to try again.
Redbean my fet still required about 4 appointments before transfer. But I was able to schedule the procedure for a Friday so I could take the weekend off.

 

[islandnyc]

Sorry I've been MIA, I was in Disney World for Independence Day.

Becky I am so sorry that you are going through this. It will work out, you want this so bad that you will find a way. I know its hard and I wish wholeheartedly that it was easier for all of us but it will happen.

Mas so happy your beta's are doubling

Welcome Sunflowers!

Jsquared sorry about the headaches. I almost never get headaches except when I am pregnant. They are intolerable.

lanet are you still holding out? Did you test?

Flannel isn't your first ultrasound today? If so good luck. Tell your little bean we all said hello

 

[lanet]

Island I've been testing since 5dp5dt, today is 10dp5dt. 8 tests. Every one of them have been.........BFP!!!!!!!
On my 42nd month ttc. I can't quite believe it. Literally, that's why I keep testing. I can't believe it is my turn! My line is darker that the control line now. Beta isn't until Wednesday but I've asked to move it up so hopefully they will let me. When is your first scan?

 

[Mas1118]

Congrats lanet!! Awesome

 

[islandnyc]

lanet I am so happy for you!!!! Can't wait to hear your numbers!!!!

Don't feel bad I am still testing because I can't believe it. I did on this AM just to see the pregnant 3+ weeks lol My first scan is tomm at 3:15pm. I can hardly wait!

 

[lanet]

The dr agreed to beta today, so I'm at the lab now! Woohoo!!!
Wow scan already! How many weeks are you?
