Trying Again After a Failed IVF Cycle

[whattheiveff]

Michelle - How are you feeling? Is your beta tomorrow?

L4 - How was the fert report?? Are you transferring tomorrow?

AFM - Had my WTF on Friday. I learned that 4 out of my 6 immature eggs were classified M1, which means there was nothing wrong with them, they just needed more time to mature, so next time they want me to do a 37 hour trigger instead of 36. The doctor also wants to do a patch protocol next time...anyone have experience with this? Lastly, they are going to put a mallecot in my cervix because my transfers have been tricky, and while they're in there they'll biopsy my uterus to make sure everything is good there. The good news and bad news is my doctor said she believes we will be successful with our own eggs and she's seen nothing to indicate this won't happen for us. While thats encouraging, sometimes I just wish we could get a definite answer so we can move forward either way.

Whatthe I'm glad that your doctor had some explanations on your immature eggs and a plan for your next cycle. I had 6 immature eggs this ER and wonder what the heck that's about. I can completely understand just wanting to know what will work one way or the other. All of this not knowing and just hoping to get pregnant is exhausting! But it sounds really good that your doctor is feeling positive for your success to happen. I do not have any experience with a patch protocol. I use the vivelle patch after transfer but that's it for me with patches.
Yes my transfer is tomorrow at noon. So excited and anxious to see how my embies have progressed!

Michelle, good luck tomorrow with your beta!! Will be thinking of you!

What - Glad you get to move forward with your own eggs and sounds like your RE has a good plan for you! I never used a patch before, but I sure they know what they are doing. I am doing good, just been soooo tired. My beta is tomorrow.

Thanks L4. I should hear back no later then 2pm, but just depends on how busy they are. Mondays are always crazy there.

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Good luck today Michelle!!

Michelle and L4, good luck today! Please keep us posted. Michelle, I just secretly stalked your journal and cannot wait to hear your good news later today.

whatthe, glad there is still hope with your own eggs and that your dr is optimistic. Wouldn't it be fantastic if we got a guarantee?

Hi, Annabelle! :wave:

Anyone know if Mo is still hanging around? She has some good news, doesn't she?

AFM, nothing new to report. Just taking it one day at a time.

Hope everyone else is well.

Hi S08 Stalk away

My beta was 610 today I am still in a bit of shock! But it is happening....I cannot believe it, after all this time, 2 failed cycles, it CAN happen!

 

[MissAnnabelle]

Congrats again Michelle!

Hi s08! I do believe that Mo is pregnant too!

 

[s08]

Huge congratulations, Michelle! So very thrilled for you and your family!

 

[L4hope]

Michelle, for the third time today...congrats girl!!

S08 glad you're doing ok and taking things as they come.

Missannabelle, hope you get good news soon and off restriction. I'm especially sure your dh is hoping and praying for that too!!

Afm, Had a great transfer with two GradeD blasts which are the highest rating for my office. So much better from last time. A lot still had tp happen, but it sure makes me feel more hopeful that this cycle can work!

 

[whattheiveff]

Congratulations L4! Hoping this is your successful cycle!

 

[michelle01]

YAY L4; that sounds so promising

 

[MoBaby]

Hi s08 Im here!! Good news indeed!!!! 6w2days I did another scan at work today and heartbeat was strong and baby measuring on track!!!!!!!

What: sounds like maybe estrogen priming protocol?

 

[s08]

That's amazing, Mo! Congratulations on your "sweetpea"! How are you feeling?

L4, great news! Now take it easy.

 

[MoBaby]

nausea is getting a little worse; worse at night but I'll take it! And I get exhausted pretty easy I have to figure out this eating while pregnant thing b/c if I get real hungry then try to eat I feel sick. How are you doing?

Yah for being preggo sick! Not really, but you know what I mean. Hunger is not your friend right now. I'm doing great, thanks for asking. I had terrible ms until week 15 or so (mine was always worse at night too), but was just so incredibly thankful to be experiencing it. I still fall asleep before 9 almost every night, but you won't hear any pregnancy complaints from me!

 

[michelle01]

Mobaby - I can completely relate; I am hungry, I go to eat and then I feel sick! And COMPLETELY tired and exhausted all the time. But I know these are great signs And I am flush; cheeks are pink all day long. And last night at acu he was going to put the needles in and said I felt really warm...gotta love me some hormones

And s08, yep I am in bed super early now But it feels good to get lots of sleep, even if I am still tired when I wake up

 

[s08]

L4, any symptoms? Or are you trying not to think about it? Will you test at home early?

Hope everyone else is well!

 

[L4hope]

Hey S08, it's getting hard not to think about it now that it's under a week. I'm so anxious to know. The only thing I've really noticed at all is a little bit of twinges/cramps here and there. But I'm a day or two away from when I would typically get AF in a normal cycle. As far as testing, I'm trying not to...so far so good!

How are things with you. Enjoying no more ms I'm sure

Twinges/cramps are great, although many people get no signs as you know. Good for you for not testing! I was never able not to, but I'm always impressed by those who can. Keep us posted if you break down and test.

AFM, nothing to report. Just working a ton and getting ready for 3 holiday parties this weekend...two of which we are hosting at our house. Not sure what I got myself into.

Hi Guys

I've just started my 2nd IVF treatment, but since my failed 1st attempt I've been quite depressed & I just can't seem to snap out of it.

Have any of you been through this?
