June/July IVF/FET buddies! :)

[islandnyc]

I'm at 6 weeks 5 days today. Hope you have your results fast! Can't wait to hear!!!!!!

 

[Flannelsheets]

Lanet -- oh my gosh! That's great!! You've been waiting so long!!

Island -- we're EXACTLY the same! You turn your weeks on Wednesdays, right? 7 weeks on Wed.? Same here! We just went for our 1st ultrasound. Saw an itty bitty heartbeat! One more appt with the RE in a week and a half, and then we're off to the ob/gyn, which just seems bizarre. I don't know about you, but I'm feeling gross pretty much all the time now. I can't even talk about it.

fx for everyone else!

 

[lanet]

Flannel I'm wondering about your symptoms since you also did a fet with injections. Did your boobs hurt? How long do you have to keep injecting the estrogen and progesterone?

 

[Flannelsheets]

Omg - major boob-hurting. Bought new bras, which has helped a lot. I threw up the first time at around 5 weeks, and have been off-and-on nauseous (more on, lately) ever since. I'm not complaining -- esp. for the non-pregnant ladies on this thread, I know that would be damn annoying. I'm stopping both meds at the beginning of my 10th week, and changing from shots to pessaries in a week or so. (Wahoo!)

So excited for you!!

Complain all you want, girl--you earned it! It doesn't bother me at all. It gives me hope that I might also someday soon be barfing my brains out and buying new bras that don't rub my nipples!

 

[lanet]

Well the dr let me do a beta today instead of Wednesday and....the hospital lost my blood!!!!!!!
After my sister (she's a nurse) called and demanded to speak to a supervisor they found it and apologized, but my dr is closed for the day now, so no results until tomorrow. But I took a clearblue digital and it says 2-3 weeks!!!

 

[lanet]

Beta on 10dp5dt was 296.1

 

[jsquared]

Great news Lanet!

 

[Mas1118]

Great Beta Lanet!!
Flannel - glad you saw your little bean
Island - How did your scan go?
My scan is in exactly 2 weeks - sigh - another tww Oh well, I am just glad I am getting symptoms!! Nausea, I wake up with back pain daily, dizziness here and there, my boobs are starting to hurt a bit.HUNGRY!!! lol

 

[islandnyc]

Hey everyone!! Saw my little bean and a litter fluttering heartbeat. It was amazing and reassuring. Doc said that I am measuring 7 weeks four days so it a little ahead of my calculations but I'm going to stick with the Wednesday calculations Flannel that's how my math works out. He told me that I do not have to come back so I made my first OB appointment for July 29th. I'll be 10 weeks. He told me to continue the progesterone and estriodol until the end of July.

I am so happy that I cried a little this morning. The center gave me a little white lamb as a gift before I left and I slept and hugged that thing for dear life last night.

Mas two weeks will fly by. Look at how far we've come!!

lanet Great beta! when is your next apt?

Flannelmorning sickness sucks no matter how you look at it. Its new and its uncomfortable. If it bothers you complain about it! That's what we are all here for

 

[lanet]

Aww that so sweet island! How exciting that you and flannel have both seen your babies! I can't wait!
Second beta today at 12dp5dt is 784.2!!!! Woohoo!!!

 

[islandnyc]

Awesome lanet!!!!!!! and Thank you!

 

[Redbean]

Question for you experienced ladies: my stomach is getting more and more sensitive with all the shots and acupuncture. Anyone have any suggestions to soothe it? Aloe or something?. It started out as not painful and now each one burns.

Congrats on all the BFPs! That is so promising and exciting. Love it.

 

[Redbean]

Jsquared, how is your cycle going?

 

[River54]

Try icing the area.

 

[jsquared]

Red, I always took my injections in the arm so I'm no help Hopefully the next few days will fly and the many injections will soon be a thing of the past. Do you know about when ER will be?

I had my u/s and blood work this morning. I've been on the estrogen pills/patches for seven days, and my lining is at 9. Still waiting for instructions and lab results to come back. I asked the nurse if they'll move up the FET if the lining gets where it needs to be sooner than expected, and she said they like you to be on the estrogen for at least two weeks to best simulate a natural ovulation cycle. I'm just so ready to transfer!

 

[lanet]

J you're getting so close! When will you start progesterone? Will you do pio? It's such a pain in the butt...pun intended lol.
Redbean I never had an issue with stomach injections or acupunture. You could ask your acupuncturist to use a smaller needle. And try icing like river said.

 

[jsquared]

Labs are back. E2 is 683 after 7 days on estrogen (today is CD8). Does this mean anything to anybody? My next check isn't until Wednesday.

 

[Flannelsheets]

No, that doesn't mean anything to me. I didn't keep track of that. If they're not changing any of your meds, things must be going well.

Redbean, you're probably just doing subcutaneous injections, right? (and not muscle shots) If so, make sure you're alternating sides & places (obvious advice, I know). Don't forget there's plenty of fat on your butt, too. I found it much less painful to do the shots there.

 

[Mas1118]

Glad to hear everyone is doing well
Cant wait to hear when the next transfers will be - FXed!!

Im doing fine - very tired though but I guess thats a good sign
