Looking for a April ivf cycle buddy!

[Lisa84]

Wishing i definately think its a clinic by clinic basis coz i am under strict instructions not to test and wait for my beta test. Of course when the time comes there is no way im goin to be able to wait xxx

Bambine, I am definitely an autumnal chicken. Also in my 40's - come and join the over 40's club - it's a hilarious thread with a fair few successes as well as a few gracefully handing over the baton as it were!

Springy, your progesterone doesn't seem that low to me, but if you're worried, check with your clinic - I'm sure they can prescribe you even more progesterone to stop your bowels up with ; )

 

[Springy]

I have no idea what my progesterone is ... I am sure they test it daily with my estrogen, LH, FSH and TSH .... I just know I don't go back for what would be a day 21 progesterone test. I know in IUI cycles they do have you go back to test and often supplement with progesterone but in IVF cycles we are automatically on progesterone so didn't realize some clinics were still testing the progesterone on CD 21.

For those of you ladies 40 and above there is a girl from a clinic in my area who did IVF in December who ended up with 8 frosties! Her fresh cycle didn't work but she is now into her second trimester off an FET so it is DEFINITELY possible!!! As long as your eggs once retrieved are decent quality no reason you can't get pregnant

I'm off to the grocery store and feel like a geriatric loading up my cart with milk of magnesia and concentrated prune juice

;wave: hi everyone.

Wishing - my FS does blood test but i dont think they go in to the beta thing. I am going back and forth whether I will POAS on not. I am terrified of both and cant work out what is worse. I have a 13 day LP and blood test on day 16 so the chances are my body will tell me before the phone call...hopefully by staying away.

My clinic make you carry on with the progesterone if you get a BFP for the whole of the first trimester...do your clinic not do that?

 

[mrsmax]

I think 3 of us posted together then!!

 

[Springy]

Mrs Max - yep I will be on both progesterone and estrogen for the first 12 weeks WHEN I get my positive! I know you ladies like that PMA!!!

 

[Ratmagirl]

Yes - defo WHEN Springy!!!

Is it bad I have no idea what my clinic says re: testing? My fault for not asking maybe - everything seems like its rushed when I go there, not sure if its just NHS?

Hope everyone is good - egg brewing/embryo waiting/2ww Zen/dowregging/non-bunged up LOL

I'm fine - is it normal to feel lots of activity in the ovary dept whilst stimming? I feel fine otherwise, drinking plenty and not really that bloated. Xxx

 

[mrsmax]

Hi Ratma - I didnt get a whole lot of tweaks or anything while stimming - but I think it is a good sign if you do - shows something is happening!!!

Not feeling a lot today and I did teh trigger last night...hope that's not a bad sign!!!

 

[justonexxx]

[Lisa84]

[Ratmagirl]

Thanks MM - yes I suppose its a sign something's happening! I hope not feeling anything after your trigger is good too! Xxx

Good luck and welcome Justone!!

 

[katrus78]

OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I couldn't help it and I tested ten min ago with a FRER, and I can see the faintest line!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I had my son look at it and he saw it too! I can't believe it. Wow. Wow. Is it really happening? This is insane. Too bad I have to go to work now. I probably won't be able to concentrate. Please stick, little bean!

[Ratmagirl]

YES YES YES I can see a line Katrus!!!!!!!

 

[mrsmax]

That is a CLEAR line Katrus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When is your beta? Whoop. Whoop. Bring on the BFPS

 

[Lisa84]

Thats is definately a line yey!! xx

 

[Springy]

Ladies ... WHERE in the grocery store do I find prunes?! I did manage to find the juice so I'm going to start drinking that tonight, perhaps mixed with gingerale unless anyone else has suggestions of what to mix it with?!

I had another scan and more blood this AM .. I feel like a stupid pin cushion with the number of needles I'm having everyday!!! She said she thinks I will trigger tomorrow for retrieval on Thursday, I'll have more info when she calls at lunchtime.

Oh and I have been put on a hyperstimulation diet - have to drink V8 juice, have chicken noodle soup, increase my salt intake and decrease my liquids to 2L

How is everyone else doing?

 

[Springy]

Katrus that is TOTALLY a line!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A nice strong one!!! Remind me how many days post retrieval are you???

 

[katrus78]

Today is day 5 after 5-day transfer. From what I read online (tons), I figured it was the first safe day to get a faint line. Some got it on the 4th day, but that's too risky. I was gonna poas tomorrow, but after buying all those FRERs, I couldn't even sleep well, I wanted to know so badly.

 

[Springy]

That's a really strong line for 5dp5dt! I'm thinking twins!

 

[Ratmagirl]

Hope you're right Springy!!!

Katrus - how do you feel? Do you have any symptoms? You seen like you've been really chilled since ET!! Xxxxxxxx
