Trying Again After a Failed IVF Cycle

[MoBaby]

I'm sure you will! The md flare recruits more follicles. I had the most with my flare

 

[MoBaby]

Scan went okay today other than the tech who worried me.... But transfer scheduled for nov 16! 8 days to go!

Mobaby - Thats awesome you were able to schedule your transfer! Why did the tech worry you?

 

[MoBaby]

Ugh... She walks into the room and says "yesterday wasn't my day for endometrial lining scans so hopefully I do better today" so I'm just hoping measurements were correct. I am a bit worried.

 

[whattheiveff]

Oh geez. You'd think they'd know better than to say something like that. Try to just put it out of your head...the important thing is that your transfer is scheduled.

 

[MoBaby]

It just make some worry my lining really isn't ready... She took 2 measurements an reported the largest. But I figure in another week things should be good to go especially since I start progesterone soon.

So glad your transfer is scheduled, Mo! It will be here in no time. Apparently the u/s doesn't not understand what not to say (especially to a fertility patient going through yet another round of IVF)!

Happy 17 weeks s08 Time is sure going quickly!!

Thanks, Michelle. I can't believe it myself. We found out yesterday we are Team . How are you holding up?

YAY for having a boy How awesome! I bet your DH is just thrilled! Seems like there are a lot of boys this year.

I am doing pretty good; started stims today. I have been battling this darn headache four days this week, but BLAH, I am sure with the hormone meds, its just gonna get worse. I finally broke down today and had tylenol, just couldn't take it anymore. I have been doing acu weekly, so that helps relaxing me.

 

[s08]

Yah for starting stims! Sucks about the headaches, but you're probably right that they could continue with the meds. I wouldn't worry too much about taking tylenol. Maybe your acupunturist can do something about the headaches? I did acu religiously during IVF, although I don't know if it made a difference or not.

Yes, DH was happy about the boys news, although I truly don't think he cared either way (surprisingly). I kinda thought all men secretly want sons. I think I was more excited than he was.

Congrats on a baby boy s08!!

Yay for starting stims today Michelle. Hopefully the headaches won't continue to torture you. My doc says Tylenol is ok.

Mo one more week to transfer!

afm, 6 more days of bcp...finally under a week!

S08 - congrats on the baby boy!

AFM, I had my first ultrasound today. 3 measurable follicles and estradiol of 831. I go back Sunday morning. Hopefully I'll have more follicles show up....

Hi ladies, fxd that you all preggies by the time im having my IVF consult for a 2nd opinion at a different clinic. I decide today to make the appointment for and just go and see what they say they would do different. whether or not i will move from my doc is still debatable. My FS said if we decide to do another, we will do a endometrial biopsi and something else the cycle before my IVF, then same meds as last as we responded well but with intralipids, so will see what they suggest.

The appointment is on the 7th of January so straight after 3 weeks Christmas vacation.

 

[michelle01]

Hi Tella Glad to see you are back on the crazy train Hope that you get the answers you need to move forward and share you bfp with everyone!!!

s08 - I thought all men wanted boys too, but I think most importantly it is healthy over gender I have a 3 year old son and I am so close to him! I love having a boy!! As for the acu, he is helping with the headaches, but I am on so much follistum, I think they are just inevidible at this point.

whatif - FX'ed for you!!!

L4 - You are getting so close

How are you doing MissAnnabelle??

I went yesterday for my scan after 4 days of stims; e2 was only at 153, so my follistum was increased to 450 at night and staying at 225 in the morning. I have 18 follicles, largest right now is only 9.6. I go back Thursday morning for another scan; just hoping I get a jump start soon

 

[whattheiveff]

Michelle - 18 follicles is a lot! I'm sure they'll be nice and plump by Thursday.

AFM, yesterday I had 9 follicles over 12mm and my estradiol was 1808. I went in again this morning for another ultrasound and blood test. I assume I'll trigger tonight or tomorrow! This protocol has been so much better for me than the last time around. I know 9 isn't a lot of follicles for most people, but its more than I ever thought I'd get.

 

[michelle01]

whatif - 9 is great! It only takes one and quality over quantity is key! That is also a great e2 level! YAY for triggering soon; you are almost in the home stretch

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Wow - you guys are all getting so close!

Congrats on a boy s08!!

Fx'd for you Mobaby

Michelle - 18 is a lot - I'm sure your estridol will be where it is supposed to after the extra stims

I'm doing good. I have been resting a lot and havn't had any more issues, so hoping they give me the ok to go back to normal next Monday at my 12wk apt.

 

[michelle01]

Glad you are doing better MissAnnabelle! Happy 11 weeks! Gosh, time is sure flying for you ladies that are pg

 

[MoBaby]

Yes a little less than 72 hours and I will be pupo!! Baby has to stick this time!!! Just one little embie this time... PLEASE survive the thaw!!!!!
