Multiple IVF failures...what now?

[oneof14]

Thanks for your input ladies, I guess this is just common practice with my Drs. office. They said all was well with the growth. They want to see me in August and September then every two weeks thereafter. I guess its good to err on the side of caution. I am going to try not to let it concern me.

At my 16 week scan they told me I had placenta previa and they wanted to watch that, but today the placenta positioned to where it normally should be.

Sounds like we're on the same track with OB appointments, anyway...I've been going once a month and then I bump up to every two weeks starting at week 30. That's great that the placenta shifted.

Glad your placenta shifted too! And that seems to be the common practice, going once a month, then start going every 2 weeks, then once a week. Have you taken any bump pictures

Hi guys. I've been gone for a while but it's nice to be back. I just did my first progesterone injection to prep for my FET on Thursday. It was a 2mL (2cc) butt injection and it didn't hurt going in but now it's pretty sore and quite red around the injection site.

Did any of you do progesterone injections? How much and for how long? Any tips? Were they all in the butt or can you mix it up w/ your thighs too??

thanks for the tips!

Patricia glad to hear your lo is doing well. I wouldn't worry about the extra scans, just be excited to get to see her a few extra times. As long as everything continues to go normally I won't have any other ultrasounds besides my 20 week ultrasound.

Blessed exciting you're getting close to your FET! I did progesterone in oil shots in the butt. They had to be all in the butt. It does get pretty sore, but I think your tush gets used to it after a week or so. I iced before and after which helped and sat on a heating pad a lot! I did it for 11 weeks total so it's doable.

YAY for being so close Blessed! I never did the shots, just the suppositories. Good luck doing them!

Thanks ladies! This is the third FET but first time with PIO. I am amazed how sore my tush is. The pain begins about 5 hours after the injection and feels like my butt cheek was punched with a brass knuckle.

It's good to hear that it may subside after the first week, we'll see. I put a super hot wet washcloth on it immediately afterwards and then a heating pad. That really helps prevent any swelling. Thanks for all the support! You ladies are really an inspiration to me!

 

[septbride]

Hi blessed! Yay for getting started with your FET. I didn't do PIO, but I like L4's suggestion of icing...that definitely helped me with the other shots. We're all rooting for you!

Hope everyone is feeling well!

 

[oneof14]

Blessed, so happy your FET is underway. I did do PIO and while the first few injections hurt like hell, I kind of got used to it. Even now occasionally, my cheeks feel sore. But icing cant hurt either. I have everything crossed this is it for you!

 

[blessedlife]

Thank you ladies! You guys are awesome and I really appreciate the support!

 

[blessedlife]

Hi Ladies. I know I'm the only one still trying to get knocked up on this thread but I love hearing about your success. I had my transfer today. the embryologist said one was a perfect, expanding blast another blast that she thought would begin expanding and another that was just so-so. FXd that one takes hold.

Great news Blessed! You're not alone...I should start stims this weekend. Thinking of you!

 

[blessedlife]

Thank you Whatthe! What is your protocol going to be?

 

[Lucie73821]

I'm still hanging around too blessed. I will start stims the end of sept.

 

[blessedlife]

HI Lucie! So happy to hear from you, have you been doing anything fun until you start stimming? My DH & I took a vacation up to the mountains, it was soo needed!

 

[L4hope]

Blessed yay for being pupo!! Really hope this is your month girl!

Whatthe and Lucie cheering you on too ladies.

 

[MoBaby]

You are not alone! I am still here as well... I am PUPO and beta is Aug 2nd.. We transferred 2 blasts on day 6 (but RE considers day 5 I think)... I am 6dptransfer so hoping tomorrows HPT brings me happy news

 

[michelle01]

YAY Blessed!! Are you going to test early or wait till your beta?

Hi Lucie! How are you?

That is great for starting Whatthe

 

[MoBaby]

So blessed you put in 3? Congrats on pupo!!

 

[blessedlife]

Hi Mo, I have everything crossed that you got your BFP today!!! Please let us know!

I did put back three, at my age it's what my RE recommends just to hope for one!!!

Thanks Michelle, I am definitely testing early this time. The other times I waited until my beta and I just don't want to build up so much for that moment. This time I want to be prepared.
