Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[Ilovetomatoes]

Beth, I go by LMP. You could if you really want to. At 5 weeks 6 days (RE measurement) and my ticker said 6 weeks 2 days, we got to hear the heartbeat, saw little flicker on the screen, saw the egg yolk, and a little baby . Maybe that will give you a peace of mind if the scan is not super expensive.

Star, one more week!!!!

 

[BethK]

It looks like the clinic are taking my dates from my EC (30.01.15) and going back 2 weeks, so going from 16th Jan.

However my LMP was 12th Jan, should i adjust my ticker?

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Beth, I would for now until you go to your OB. My RE calculated it from LMP or more like the day they told me to stop BCP and start stim.

So my beta is a 30.... Super low but I have to have it repeated on Wednesday. Not much hope but they said they've seen good things come from this.

Comfy -- So sorry about the bfn, hun!! You're not out yet.

Beth -- Glad to hear the pain hasn't gotten worse. Hope all turns out well.

Star -- Fx your lining will be perfect next scan!

Mobaby -- FX FOR YOU!!!!

 

[BethK]

Thanks BMW!

Mo keeping my fingers crossed for you, I hope time flies by.

I've adjusted my ticker to go from 2 weeks previous to my EC instead of from my LMP.

I can always adjust it at a later date if I need to

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mo, you never know!! Are you on PIO? I heard PIO works better than pessaries. There is still hope . When is your second beta?

Beth, sounds good . That thing is easily adjustable . It's great to see your ticker though!

Comfy - IC's aren't reliable, try not to worry about it. You're doing amazing x

Beth- good to hear from you, and glad everything is still good and the pain isn't any worse, and hopefully the scan will be perfect I have a good feeling!

cmo- I hope the scan goes well, let us know what happens It sounds as though I get mine on Friday so we'll see!

Star- it sounds like you're nearly there! I'm very excited for you!

Beneath- I can't wait for cycle to start, I know it's all come at once but I know it will all make sense in the end

AFM I've had the first 'one of those days today'. I've felt poorly, I've been poorly, I've been in pain, I'm in pain right now! But this is the first day I've felt mentally dejected, and it's been horrible. I had it in my head I was going to be a poor responder and nothing was going to work etc etc. I think it was the worry of the blood test today and the fact my best friend is moving back to France this week and I'm really gutted. It all hit me at once. I'm so glad I'm able to talk to all of you otherwise it would be so much harder! Anyway! I'll stop moaning because it was good news today (thank goodness), and I'm now responding well and my dose is being reduced again. So back for bloods on Wednesday and scan and bloods on Friday. Fx'd!!

Mobaby fx'd!! xxx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Amorea, we are allowed to feel crappy! With all the hormones, injections, and uncertainties, I am surprised that none of us go crazy . Rant all you want. Tomorrow is another day . Glad to hear that the stims are working for you!

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Mo - We've all got our fingers crossed for you! x

Clinic don't seem too concerned at the mo about my lack of AF and suggested it could possibly be a cyst causing problems. They said give it a few more days and book a scan for weds/thurs if no sign. It'll nearly be ovulation time again by then!

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Star - Great news about your lining although at the rate you're going I can't believe they're making you wait another week! I reckon you'll defo be ready by then x

 

[FirstTry]

Man, this group needs some sunshine and flowers!!!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Bump, hopefully your AF shows up soon without having to go for a scan.

First!! LOL. I can use that glass of wine .

 

[Comfycushions]

Beth, that's great news that the pain has stopped. Hope it stays that way.

Star hope you're lining is absolutely perfect next week.

Mo fingers crossed your number keeps rising.

Amore sorry to hear you've had a tough day. Feeling poorly on top of all the emotional stress of all this just adds insult to injury. It must be hard that your friend moving as well. Brilliant news that you're responding well.

Afm, been no more bright blood but a small bit of dark tinged cm.(yep I've been frantically and repeatedly toilet paper checking) Bad cramps have stopped now too.
For now I've dragged myself out of the depths of despair

 

[Comfycushions]

Bump, how frustrating for you about af. Good clinic not concerned tho.

First, splendidly cheery! Great.

 

[amoreamy]

Comfy thank you Hang on in there, fx'd xx

 

[MoBaby]

amore so glad you are responding well!

beth and ILT: You go by the day of your egg collection. SO exactly 2 weeks from your egg collection you are 14dpo or 4 weeks pregnant. Not based on LMP since birth control pills are used, different meds, and etc so your LMP date doesn't matter. You have to use an IVF calculator to calculate due date, etc.

ILT: I am on crinone, aka vaginal progesterone. I have PIO at home but I've not been told to use it. I've never had a progesterone issue so I think I am okay. They will probably check the level wednesday.

 

[Mrs W 11]

Cmo that could well be the stims working your ovaries hard! I feel fine, no symptoms at all which has me a bit worried nothing is happening!

Amo so sorry to hear you are feeling so down. It's so normal tho, this process is so tough!! I'm glad you are now responding tho, that's fab news!!

Mo fingers and toes crossed that the beta goes up!!

I'm sorry I haven't written to everyone tonight, I'm rushing off out for some bowling with my team from work. I'm feeling really anxious at night so it's good to be busy and have my mind taken off the ivf. I'm so worried about my scan Wednesday and that they will say im not responding, praying I am.

Bump glad the clinic are not worried although I know how frustrated you must be.

Start sorry your lining wasn't ready yet but it's good they are strict and won't put your embies in until they know for sure your body is ready. What's another week once your rainbow arrives!! Fx fx

Will write more tomorrow. Night all xx

Star - my lining was 10mm the week before transfer so by next week you'll be right on track. I know the nurse said it could be thicker than that too without any issue. You're getting there slowly but surely!!

Comfy - what the others said. We all know ICs aren't the greatest but we all do it. I really would try not to rule yourself out yet - easy for me to say. I'm hoping it is just too early for your bfp.

Amoreamy - we all have those days. I've been a thoroughly miserable old trout (not that I'm saying you are!) for most of January and Feb!

ha ha First I'm not sure whether i enjoyed the glass of wine or the bouncing boobies most!!

Afm not much to report. Trying not to obsess and totally failing!!
