Multiple IVF failures...what now?

[septbride]

Blessed, that's fantastic that you had a good transfer and put back three. And one was an expanding blast, great! Fingers crossed that it's your turn now.

Whatthe, hi! I've been wondering how you're doing. So pleased to hear you're starting stims this weekend...we're here for you.

Mo, congrats on being PUPO and so close to testing!

Lucie, great that you're getting ready to start again.

Hoping you get a positive HPT today MO! Good luck!

Blessed - I'm doing EPP again, same as last cycle since I got the highest # of eggs and 2 blasts out of it. Not very confident it will work, so I've already chosed a donor for the next cycle!

My dh and I took a month long trip to Michigan and Wisconsin to visit our families. Weare just enjoying the last few days of our summer break, as we start back at school on Monday.

Good luck today Mo!

I hope everyone else is doing well!

 

[blessedlife]

Thank you Septbride, how are you feeling?

Whatthe, I also have a plan for the three blasts still frozen. I think when you've had several disappointments you can't help but think about future options. Maybe this will be both our times!!!

Lucie, that sounds like a wonderful vacation.

 

[septbride]

Hi blessed, I'm doing fine, thanks for asking! Hoping for the best as you guys move forward on this journey.

 

[MoBaby]

I had my beta!! 11dpt of 2 blasts and it's 691!!! I'm so excited!!

 

[septbride]

Oh Mo, that is wonderful news!! I didn't want to ask until you updated. So pleased for you! Do you have your next beta on Thursday?

 

[MoBaby]

Yes Thursday and I'll find out about my u/s which I probably have to wait 3 wks.

 

[L4hope]

Mo, congrats, that's an awesome beta!!!

Whatthe, I'm thinking of you.

How are all you lovely ladies doing?

 

[MoBaby]

Blessed how are you doing??

 

[L4hope]

Oops I messed up my post earlier. Great news Mo, congrats!!! I think you have a strong little one growing in there.

 

[michelle01]

So excited for you Mo

Happy 22 weeks Patricia

Hope everyone else is doing good!!!

I just got back from my dr appt; had an NST and scan for my fluid. The pain I am feeling when I walk is because he has really dropped; I am 80% effaced, a fingertip dilated. I lost a pound in weight since last week which I didn’t expect and I am measuring at 34 weeks, not 38 which is why I am sooo uncomfortable. I just wish I knew how much he weighed at this point; I assume he cannot be that big if I am measuring at 34 weeks?? When they did the growth scan at the hospital at 33.5 weeks he weighed 4.9 pounds. They also did a scan and my fluid dropped to 7.9 from 11 last week. Just 10 more days or less now

 

[blessedlife]

Mo, what a fantastic beta! I'm so excited for you! Huge congratulations and I can't wait to hear how many you got in there!


I'm struggling with how much pain my PIO injections have caused. I, literally, can hardly walk or sit. I saw the doc on Mon and he started me on 3 oral progesterone pills a day & Endometrin (vaginal suppository pill) 3 times a day. With these on board he said I could do the injections every other night. I'm very happy about that but can't imagine that I got pregnant while in so much pain. My OTD is Sat and I'll test Friday to prepare myself.

Michelle, did they say if you have to go in to monitor your fluid levels more frequently?

 

[michelle01]

That is great Blessed not having to do the shots every other night. I never did them so I couldn't even imagine how much they hurt. Will you be doing endometrium for some time? If so, I have a box I can send you, if you want it?

I have been getting my fluid checked weekly since I left the hospital. I was admitted at 33.5 weeks and spent 7 days there. When I went in my fluid was 6.9 or something, then dropped to 5.7, when I left the hospital it went up and as of last week it was 11. Not sure why it went down because I haven't seen/felt any leaking. However normal is 8 and above and they don't really start to worry unless it goes under 5.

 

[MoBaby]

Blessed sorry about the pio I'm only on Crinone since it was a natural fet but I did pio before and ouch! I added 1 dose of endometrin at night just for a little extra. I really hate vaginal progesterone!

 

[L4hope]

Lets face it, progesterone sucks no matter what form it comes in. I could never decide which I hated worse...sore tush or messy hoo ha!!

As with everything unpleasant in this process, I'm sure we'd all do it a million times over to get that precious forever bfp!!

 

[blessedlife]

Michelle, I get to do the shots every other night rather than every night. Thank you so much for the offer of endometrium. I find out Sat if this even worked so I'll know I I need more then. I'm so glad to hear everything is fine even if your fluid level did go down, it's still in the normal range.

Okay, so I'm doing an HPT tomorrow and was wondering if I should use FMU or wait until I get home from work? It'll be the first time I'll test early but I can't handle the buildup again.

 

[MoBaby]

I would use FMU and not drink anything a couple hours before bed. I would usually wake to pee around 330 then when I got up for real at 630 use that pee.

Lol, now I've got both!! Hopefully, now the tush will just be sore and not debilitating!!!
