CMo great idea xxx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Cmo, love the idea!

Mo, I tested trigger with my internet cheapie on the day of transfer, which was light already. 2 days after transfer, it was no longer there. I'm currently 5dp5dt. I also tested with IC yesterday and this morning, telling you...I'm a test addict , the line today is definitely darker then yesterday. I'm too cheap to test trigger with FRER. lol. How are you feeling so far on day 2 of stim?

Thanks for the congrats ladies but I'm still very cautious since nothing is certain until you have your baby in your arms.

Bumpsparkle, I never know when af is due but clinic said get to day 35 then start the provera and I normally get af 10 days after starting provera, I'm day 26 today so could have baseline near to you!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Morana, wooowww. I just read your replied. That was scary! I'm glad you are doing ok so far.

 

[MoBaby]

thats great the ic was darker!! yay! cant wait for tomorrows!

as far as stims: i feel fine so far. add in gonal f tomorrow (300 ius) and monday scan and labs... hoping my estrogen really holds good this time because in previous cycles my estrogen at this point was always really low..it was the highest with this same protocol but still below average. but then it always ended up fine, just initial slow response. i think i was over suppressed before because i did bcps for like 6 weeks beforehand and when i did that with the lupron in combo my ovaries totally shut down.

 

[Morana]

ILT, yes, that was terrifying. I keep taking my temp ever since the retrieval, lol

Mo, hopefully it will all go well and you were not oversuppressed this time!

AFM - I'm having cramps again on and off tonight and a little bit of brown spotting... I remember something similar from the cycle in the spring. I wonder it that's good news

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mo, it worked before so I'm sure it'll work again.

Morana...ohhh implantation bleeding!! The addict in me want to see test strip Morana!

 

[lizzie78]

Morana, hoping this is your implantation bleeding happening xxx

ILT - i'm sure you are testing again today ha ha so looking forward to hearing your line is darker!

Hope everyone else is hanging in there?

Nice day for me today, no commute as I work from home on Fridays' so even though I have a busy day I already feel better for a decent night's sleep especially since I had acupuncture last night too. DR Scan on monday so hoping evrythign is ok and I can start taking estrogen to build up my lining - FX'd. I hate scan's they're are always such a worry in case it's not all doing what it's supposed to do!

Hello everyone,

My name's Susana Marques and I'm a 38 year old woman from Portugal.

Last year, while living in The Bahamas with my husband (he was working there), I found myself struggling with the chance of spending 15.000$ in a IVF treatment in Nassau.

We were already trying to conceive for 4 years so these were really bad news. So we decided that it would be worth to go back to our country, Portugal, and make the IVF treatments there. It would be 3 times less expensive, even with the flights. In january, I made an ICSI and we finally sucedeed. I got pregnant, not bankrupt, and had a babygril in my arms last October.

Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to know more about the possibility of going out of your country to achieve your dream.

I'm not a clinic, i'm just someone who would like to share the experience and maybe help someone out

Talk soon,

Susana

Morana, eek hope its good news too! X

 

[FirstTry]

Congrats, ILT!!! I hope today's test is darker!

 

[Aurora CHK]

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and sorry I haven't been posting, I get so little spare time and this thread is really exciting so I keep spending all my time reading your updates and then have no time left to post myself . So thrilled for all the good news. I'm a bit in limbo as my AF is late (but not due to a miracle BFP - believe me I checked ) so I guess down-regulating is just affecting me differently this time around to my last time. Hoping it doesn't delay me being able to start stims next Thurs! Did anyone else find downregging delayed their period? Xxx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Well Ladies.....I got that elusive second line after more than a year staring at stark white sticks! I feel pretty calm for whatever reason. Maybe it hasn't sunk in yet....

Aurora, good to hear from you!

Lizzie, the worry never ends! But at least you'll be starting in 3 days! Woohhoo

 

[lizzie78]

Aurora I think it's fairly normal for down regging to delay Af for up to a week. It did me last time and a few other ladies I knew on the same cycle. Sorry i'm losign track a bit, what are you taking at the moment? x

 

[CMo]

ILT congratulations!!!! Def a strong 2nd line today!!! How many days post transfer are you today? Xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Thanks Cmo, today I'm 6dp5dt. We did transferred 2 hatching blasties and that's probably why I get the result faster.
