Testers,TTC&After Conception-Clomid,IUI,IVF,Femara -EVERYONE!!

[MumsTheWord28]

Thank you, Hopin! I am praying that tomorrow morning's test looks even better (& I even have 1 extra FRER for Wednesday morning before the Beta! My FE's nurse will drawn my blood, & call me with my numbers in the early afternoon on Wednesday.) So, 2 more FRER tests, & a Beta that is less than 48 hours away!

I am so grateful that I decided to come back to you wonderful community of ladies... I love seeing how supportive you are of each other. That kind of thing is something we all need!

Also...

I had some pretty mild OHSS that came on immediately following my triggers; it seemed to calm down a little bit last week, but it has been back in full-force since Saturday. Today I am so swollen my belly-button looks funny!

Any of you ladies ever dealt with OHSS? My FE saw some fluid on my first post-IUI follow-up ultrasound on 3/6, but I only have ovarian pain at that point, no bloating yet. Now, I look like a swallowed a giant balloon! A very, very painful balloon!

I have read that there are preventative diet measures to ward-off OHSS (eating lots of protein, pickles, drinking Gatorade...) & I have been doing that since last week without much of a result.

I am so full of fluid right now, it's hard to get up of the couch or out of bed (let alone take a deep breath!)

My FE said that if I am pregnant, the OHSS will get worse for a while longer because of the hCG (so this resurgence of my OHSS might be a "good" sign?), but I agreed that it would be worth the discomfort for a baby (or babies!) My FE said there would be no risk to the pregnancy from OHSS, so that is good...

Any advice from someone who might have gone through OHSS? My FE is out of town for the week, so no ultrasound on Wednesday morning to check how much fluid is in me... just the Beta done by the nurse.

P.S. Now I have twins on the brain!

Typea Have you tested?? You've been quiet..

Tested today. And I think it was a BFN. I'm going to test again on Wednesday right before I go in. Just still trying to decide if I'll do another IUI or IVF. We are going to see what the dr says on Thursday.

 

[momof1making2]

Mums can't wait to hear about your appointment!
Typea- HIIIIII! How many dpo are you?

I can't get my butt out of bed..........

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Mums Have you tested this morning?!?!

TypeA You said you think it was a bfn? Does that mean there may have been a slight line there? I have a major case of line eye right now so I'm not a good judge of that, but I really really hope for you that you're getting your bfp this cycle. Let us know how tomorrow's test goes!!!

LDizzy, Allika Are you ladies holding strong until AF is due? I admire you!!

Grateful 2 more days until your appointment

momof1 SO stay in there

I am almost positive it was a BFN (10dpo) but I think I had line eye. At least I don't have that long to wait. Then we decide if it's another IUI or onto IVF. I want IVF. But DH wants iui. Ugh. We shall see who wins.

I did call my insurance to see how much of my lifetime amount I had used- I thought it would be in the thousands and thousands. They said $400. I almost fell out my chair! This REALLY makes me want to move to IVF since it will most definitely be covered. That was my miracle for the day, yesterday.

I'm probably going to lose it if we agree to do an iui and I only get one mature follicle out of the deal, but im trying to think positive. My DH says I'm being negative. Ha! You try injecting yourself constantly with hormones and see how positive you are?!?? Lol!

Congrats to everyone who has gotten their BFPs!! How many are we up to this month?

 

[Allika]

BFN. Seeing my new Doctor tomorrow and will discuss if we can tackle this a little bit more aggressive, e.g. injections and IUI. Ugh!

 

[momof1making2]

Typea- keep testing!

Allika- I'm sorry for your bfn how many dpo are you?

 

[Hopin4ABump]

TypeA that's great news!!! I'm at your 'we'll see who wins' haha I like that attitude ! Never hurts to do an IUI and it's certainly more affordable! But you're not out just yet this month so FX'd for you. Keep us posted how it goes tomorrow when you test.

Allika UGH, sorry for your bfn. This process is so exhausting sometimes. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be right there with you, I haven't tested today and don't plan on it, I just can't stand seeind the stark white test again. I'm sure AF's on the way, I can just feel it. You're not out yet though are you?? When is AF due?

 

[Allika]

AF is due tomorrow so I am sure I am out, I have no symptoms! It's ok, hopefully next month!

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Next month it will be!!!
What time is your appointment tomorrow?

 

[Grateful365]

Your both gonna get BFP's again soon...I just know it. Your new meds worked so fast last time...why would it be any different this time?

 

[Beautifullei2]

ladies!!

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Lei back at you! How are you feeling?

 

[MumsTheWord28]

Hello ladies, I am posting from inside a hospital room!!

My OHSS got so bad overnight that my Dr demanded I go to the hospital this morning. I'm currently waiting for the specialist to decide what to do with me.

I tested this morning - a great, dark line! After testing, I was in so much pain from the OHSS, I called my FE, which is why I'm in the hospital now.

As miserable as I am right now, considering I am in the ER... they ran my Beta test...

...and, ladies, drumroll please...

hCG 125!!!!

...& that's a day early! My Beta appointment was scheduled for tomorrow.

So, hearing this news today is almost making my hospital visit & OHSS worth it in a way.

I can't tell you how happy I am!! Who cares about being in the hospital right now, when I just got the best news of my life!

I could use any continued prayers, good thoughts, good vibes, etc for climbing hCG levels, & a healthy pregnancy!

I hope everyone else is doing ok today - I'm writing from my phone right now.

Much love!

 

[Grateful365]

Mums - Sorry you are in the hospital and hope you feel some relief very soon......BUT CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!

Such wonderful news! Kinda awesome you got some numbers a day early!!!!
Will be praying for you and baby!!!

 

[typeA TTC]

Ohh my! Mums I'm so sorry!! Please let us know how you are throughout the day!!

 

[Hopin4ABump]

Mums, Sorry and Congrats all together!!! So happy for you That's our 2nd BFP this month! WOOT WOOT!!!!
What's your EDD?!

 

[Beautifullei2]

Hopin- I am okay! Just ready to go home & take a pain pill lol. My legs hurting & these crutches are a dam workout! I got a handicapped sticker so I can park up front at work but I still have to walk about half a mile to get to my building inside the complex.. Not to mention the jail doors arent the lightest doors so I had one slam on my leg earlier =/ Other than that I am okay.

 

[momof1making2]

Yay mums CONGRATULATIONS I hope you have a short hospital stay so you can get home and celebrate your BFP!!!!

Lei- That's awful, I'm so sorry your dealing with all this.
