Multiple IVF failures...what now?

[septbride]

Thank you! It was exactly what we both needed.

The herbs must be so awful, but it's good to take action and do something proactive. There are so many variables at play -- maybe the herbs will kick something off!

I hope so, but everytime I drink it, I cant help but think, God is laughing at me right now, cause no way in hell is that going to work. Me and God really dont see eye to eye lately. LOL

Looks like we will be cycle buddies!

Hi Ladies!

Sept - So glad you had fun on your trip...you couldn't have chosen a better week to be gone!

Oneof - Good for you for sticking with the herbs!

AFM - I got a ridiculously strong positive OPK on Friday and I'm supposed to start estrogen patches on Wednesday. This might sound crazy but a really good friend stayed with me this weekend, and she had her period. Today I definitely have cramps like AF is about to start. Do you ladies think she effected my cycle and I might start AF really early?

 

[oneof14]

Whatthe, can it possibly be ovulation cramps? I know I get severe ovulation cramps.

 

[septbride]

Oneof, that's awesome that we'll be cycle buddies! When do you start? I still have a few weeks before I start my estrogen patch.

Whatthe, I second the ov cramp idea -- do you ever get cramping around that time?

 

[oneof14]

I have a ways to start too. I have to get my biopsy in February and start stims in March. Not sure of the timing of everything. I also have to go the hematologist, my prior RE said I had a clotting disorder, but my Dr. now wants to make sure if definitely have it, so he wants me to get checked my a hematolgist. My appt is on Friday.

 

[L4hope]

Sept, you definitely picked a good cold week to get away in the sunny beaches of Mexico! Glad to have you back though!

One, I can't believe you are staying strong with those herbs! Hope it does something positive for you. Things are moving along. Good that your new doctor is verifying the clotting issue.

Whatthe, I'm also voting ovulation pain. Bet your getting excited to start this cycle!

Afm, had lining check today and I'm all good to go for FET next Friday. Let's see if Feb is going to be my month.

 

[septbride]

Oneof, it definitely sounds like our timing will match up!

L4, congrats on getting the green light! I really hope February is the big month for you.

 

[oneof14]

yay, L4 - I do hope February is you month, I have everything crossed for you. I did hear that FET's have a very high success rate.

Yes, and praying this thread is a very lucky one for all of us!

Sept and Oneof - You might be right about ovulation cramps. I always get pains in the days leading up to ovulation, but never afterwards. Either way, I'm not going to worry about it! As I get closer to starting, I've been oddly calmer than I've been before the other cycles. I think that no matter what happens, Husband and I will be ok. I may change my tune as I get farther along, but I know I've done everything I can possibly do and its totally out of my hands so I'm going to try to just roll with it. What will be, will be.

 

[oneof14]

Great PMA Whatthe! I LOVE it!

 

[whattheiveff]

Good morning ladies! Just wanted to check in to say I started estrogen patches today and will begin ganirilex injections tomorrow. I've never used those guys but it looks like they're pre-filled...FANCY! If anyone has used them, is there anything I should know?

 

[septbride]

Congrats on officially getting started! I did Ganirelix shots with my first cycle, they were easy peasy and didn't burn.

 

[oneof14]

Yay for getting started Whatthe. Same as Sept, super easy and quick. One of the easy shots!

 

[L4hope]

Yay Whatthe! It's always exciting to get started!

:wave: Hope you all are well.

Got the pathology report back. The other object in my tube was the second embryo. My Dr said never in his 26 years has he had a double ectopic. Until me of course. Now I'm really anxious for my follow up appointment on the 19th!

 

[septbride]

Oh my god, Lucie. I'm so sorry. Did the methotrexate take care of everything?

 

[whattheiveff]

Lucie - Thats really incredible and I'm so sorry. If karma is a real thing, you should definitely get pregnant with your FET!

 

[L4hope]

Ugh that's just crazy Lucie! I agree you definitely should get your bfp with your FET!

 

[oneof14]

Lucie, that is crazy and I am sorry you had to go through this. I would also be anxious for my follow-up to discuss FET and what, if anything they can do to prevent this from happening again!
