Multiple IVF failures...what now?

[blessedlife]

Well, he doesn't feel it's necessary yet. He's following a typical protocol that waits for three BFNs/MCs to check. I emailed them a bit ago to see if we could do it this month. (Our 'time off' month.) The biopsy is suppose to occur 8 days after ovulation and I've been using OPKs so I know I haven't yet. They may not want to this month since my system may still be outta whack! If they don't want to this month, I'm not willing to postpone my FET b/c we'd have to push it back until Nov/Dec due to my schedule.

Maybe we should do the biopsy first, even if it means a long postponement. Mainly b/c if we use up all the embryos on this FET, I don't know if we'd be willing to go through another IVF. Something for us to really think about in the next few days.

Hey ladies, just checking in to see how everyone is going.

Hi ladies, I hope everyone is well.

I have two more days of lupron, then start crinone Saturday. Transfer is a little more than a week away!

 

[whattheiveff]

You're so close Lucie! Exciting!

I had my coculture biopsy today. Kind of a hassle because they had to put me under sedation, but now I'm back in Boston! Quick trip!

 

[blessedlife]

HI all! My transfer won't be until July so I'm just enjoying life. I've started running again and I'll be starting acupuncture in a few weeks. Hope everyone is doing well.

 

[oneof14]

Lucie, so happy your FET will be here before you know it.

Blessed, that's exactly what I did between cycles, the gym was my outlet.

whatthe, why did they have to sedate you? Who did the biopsy? Glad you got that done, one step closer.

 

[whattheiveff]

One - Dr. Davis did it which was nice. I have a very tricky cervix so he recommended sedation and I didn't argue!

 

[oneof14]

Oh, OK -Im glad he did it and it was a quick procedure too no doubt. When is the next time you will come to NYC? Let me know and I will drop by Cornell and give you the meds. I assume it will be July, since that is when you are starting. I am really hoping this is it for you, you've been though so much!

 

[whattheiveff]

Thanks Patricia! I think I'll cycle in July or even August depending on when AF shows. We have a big family wedding July 20, so that could push things back. I'll definitely let you know!

 

[michelle01]

Hi Patricia! How are you feeling?

Blessed - That is great you are enjoying life; it will help when you start your next cycle.

whatif - Praying this is the one for you; you truly deserve this

Lucie - How great to start again!!! I have everything crossed for you

Hope everyone else is doing good!

I'm feeling good,Thanks for asking Michele, just a lot of pulling and aches in my stomach. We plan on telling our families on Mother's Day, still so nervous to let the cat out of the bag. I have an OB appt on Friday and praying of course that the baby is where it should be with a strong heart beat. So nervous for that appt. I have my NT sono next Friday (5/17). Hoping that goes well too. Just cant wait until the 2nd trimester.

How is everyone feeling? I cant not wait for the warmer weather, its been so chilly in NY and today so raining, I totally wanted to stay in bed, epecially waking to a torential downpour!

Anytime Whatthe, I hope its more than enough for your cycle and your dont have to order any. I also have a z-pack which Cornelll prescibes for your antibiotics, I am allergic to that so I was not able to use it. Its all yours not even touched. I will also give you all the syringes I have.

 

[michelle01]

How great Patricia; I am sure they will be so excited/happy for you! And I am sure your appt will go well Friday As well as your NT appt Just remember everything is a milestone! I just had my OB appt Monday, had to have my glucose test Just glad that is done now.

Whatif - Do you need endometrin? I have one unopened box and it is yours if you want it!

 

[oneof14]

Michele, I can not believe you are 25 weeks already, wow! Glad all went well with your glucose test and that you didnt have to take the 3 hrs one. How are you feeling? I know that you were having some back pain.

 

[whattheiveff]

You ladies are the best! I think my protocol just involves estrogen patches, a boatload of menopur twice a day, ganirilex, and PIO. All other meds that aren't fertility related (like a Z pack) are covered by my insurance. I truly appreciate the offers though!

 

[michelle01]

Patricia - I am feeling pretty good, most of the time. Tired of course and finding it harder and harder to workout. How did your announcement go over Mother's Day?

Hope everyone else had a great weekend!

 

[septbride]

Yes, oneof, hope the announcement went well and was fun!

I'm feeling fine, thanks. Still having some insomnia every fourth night or so, so I'm dragging a bit. Other than that, nothing major to report. We have our anatomy ultrasound on Wednesday...can't wait.

Hope everyone had a great weekend.

Hey Michele, the announcment went well. Both our families are very excited and to be honest, we are getting excited as well. I went to the OB and got a scan, all looks good baby was measuring 10w5d,, they also took the bloods related to the NT scan, which I do next Monday and this morning, I went to the genetic counseler and did my materniti21test. I will feel much more relaxed when those tests come back. Sorry you are feeling tired, how was your Mother's Day and of course Happy Mother's Day!

Hey Jess, I had an episode of insomnia on Friday night, was up practically the entire night watching movies and all day on Saturday, I had the worst mirgraine. I had an aweful day at work on Friday and my blood pressure was a little high went I got to the Dr and of course I stressed about that! I think its because my boss aggravated me all day on Friday and I was so upset when I got to the Dr. So excited for your anatomy scan too. Hope all goes great!

 

[michelle01]

Glad your announcement went good And it is great to be excited, you should be! After everything you went through, you will be holding your miracle next year on Mother's Day

 

[oneof14]

Michele, I can not wait!!!

 

[L4hope]

Hey girls! Sorry I've been MIA. I don't know why I keep getting bumped off this thread.

Patricia glad to see things are going well and you're feeling well too. Second tri is almost here!

Whatthe glad you have the ball rolling to get prepared for your cycle in July/August.

Blessed the gym is such a great release in between cycles. Hope you can relax during your break.
