June/July IVF/FET buddies! :)

[jsquared]

Wow, this thread is on fire today! River, so exciting!!!

Flannel, I have looked up potential due dates and I haven't even transferred yet...so you are looking totally sane in my book.

Lanet--yay! You're almost there!

Welcome Mas! You picked a good day to drop in!

 

[River54]

welcome Mas

lanet - yay, getting closer!!

flannel - I've done the same thing...it was also one of OHs first questions just after transfer We are just a few days behind you and island at Feb 27th

Trying to patiently wait for beta...

 

[Mas1118]

I have looked up my estimated due date as well March 5th 2015!

 

[lanet]

Ok now I'm going to look up my due date! Lol. Dd bday is valentines day and she's made it very clear she doesn't want to share it!
For those of that did FET, what were your instructions about sex? Any restrictions?

 

[CanadianMaple]

I looked up due dates too. Mine is March 12, if this works. I think it's totally normal to do that. I even did that when we were TTC way back before we knew we had IF.

I had my last lining check today. It's measuring 13! It had to be at least an 8. The bloodwork was good too, so I just started my progesterone suppositories today. I'm glad I can drop one dosage of estrogel, I hated waiting for that stuff to dry when I was at work. I'm still nervous about the PIO and hope to have people lined up to do the 4 days of needles. I just can't believe how close I am to actually having a chance to be pregnant. I haven't had one chance since I got married. DH had azoospermia (no sperm) and all of my attempts at the clinic were always canceled for some reason or another. It's been 3 years. I'm still scared though.

 

[lanet]

Becky were you aware of the azospermia or did it take testing to find out?
I havent had a chance either. My dh was diagnosed with 95% antisperm antibodies after 3 years ttc. They told us they cover the heads and the sperm could never penetrate an egg. (He adopted my dd when she was 8) So although I thought I had a chance, I really didn't. And then after our diagnosis in January I've been trying to get through ivf and I'm still not finished! So I havent had a 2ww in forever. I'm excited!!

 

[Mas1118]

fxed for you both becky and lanet! your 2ww will be here in no time

 

[islandnyc]

Canadian and lanet - I am excited for you!

Flannel - Same due date that's amazing!

River, Mas, and Jsquared- Hope you're feeling great!

I went for my Beta this morning. I am so anxious I have to remind myself to breathe.

Happy Friday ladies!!

 

[Flannelsheets]

Hey ladies - I'm going off the grid for a few days. Looking forward to hearing more news soon!

 

[islandnyc]

Beta is in : 487 14dp3dt
I'm hoping that's a good number.

It seems to coincide with my Son's beta. I looked though my old notes and his numbers were ..

341 11dp5dt
865 13dp5dt
1656 15dp5dt

My next beta isn't until next Friday. Long week ahead.

Good luck everyone.

 

[Mas1118]

great beta islandnyc!!

 

[Mas1118]

I emailed the embryologist today to ask what grade my embies were. She said 1 was 4AA and the other was 2AA and that the shell looked very normal so they didn't do assisted hatching. Im so hoping at least one of them makes it!!! I go back and forth between this has to work - with such a good lining and great quality embryos and doing everything possible to help but then I think, I can't even say it... or write it. this is going to be a long tww

 

[River54]

great number island!!

 

[jsquared]

Island, that's great!! Try not to worry this week and just enjoy your BFP!! (easier said than done I know )

Mas--sounds like all conditions are great for a BFP! I've got my fingers crossed for you!

As for me, my period came yesterday so they're putting me on BCP for a week or so until the PGS results come back. Wish I could just get started already. You guys are so far ahead you'll all be knocked up by the time I have my transfer! (And that would be fabulous )

 

[lanet]

Island that's an awesome number!
Mas those sound like great embies. Do you know if the grade changes after the thaw? Like do they let them expand a little more? I just can't wait to get mine back.
Jaquared the wait actually went by way quicker than I expected so hopefully it will for you too!

 

[Mas1118]

Lanet - That was the grade they were when they went in - the 4AA would be pretty much ready to hatch and the 2AA though still good needed to expand more but that hopefully will happen inside!

 

[lanet]

Ok, I don't know all of my grades but I do remember a lot of 4's. I'll ask again at transfer. The embryologist just told me they were excellent and they have really strict criteria for freezing. I just noticed you will have your beta on my transfer day. How many days after is that for you? I think my beta is 12 days after.

 

[lanet]

Is there a certain time of day I should do pio?

 

[CanadianMaple]

I start my PIO tomorrow and they want me to take it before 10am. I'm going to aim to meet my nurse friend at 9am. Very nervous!

I'm transferring a 4AA and they told me that grade of a blast usually results in good chances of pregnancy. T minus 3 days, I can't believe it!

 

[lanet]

Hmm I was going to do mine at night, I wonder if I should do morning. It's too late to ask unless I call the after hours line. I wonder if it matters?
