Waiting to start IVF in January anyone else?

[amoreamy]

Is it way too late to join?? I thought everyone would be way ahead of me but it looks as though there's loads of different stages so can I join you too?

I'm on day 10 of buserelin. Just started my breakthough bleed so waiting for scan either Wed or Fri next week (either 5 or 7 days time). Apparently the buserlin can make you bleed for longer than normal?

I hope this is a lucky thread!!

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Comfy, I remember being on pins and needles waiting for my nurse to call for fertilization report. Hopefully they'll call soon .

Lizzie, 6 hours/day?? Woww. That's crazy commute. Are you guys thinking of moving closer to your office later? I'm just being nosy by the way . Don't feel that you have to answer . DH has to commute for 2 hr and he's already not liking it. FX for Wednesday. It'll come before you know it. I am waiting for Wednesday too!

Star, I am super excited for you! It's finally almost here.

Mo, tomorrow is a great day! I am also excited for you! Btw, how many times per day do you have to take the suppositories? I will have to take those when I hit 10 weeks mark 3 times per day and it comes in pill form. I am just wondering how am I suppose to do it at work!Should I sit around the toilet for a bit before moving around? At this point, I think I prefer the shots .

Hi Amor, welcome! We do have a lot of ladies at different stages. The OP decided to leave BnB for personal reason so the thread title has been the same since . But, I think we have a couple ladies who are starting in March also. Unfortunately, I wasn't on Buserilin but I am sure the other ladies have answer for you.

Hi amoreamy and welcome - we are all over the place so the more the merrier althoug I apologise in advance that I see to have pre-baby/IVF brain and frequently forget updates and miss things! Buserelin can delay an AF starting and can prolong or generally emss about with it when it arrives. Don't worry it's all normal and it disappears again eventually

ILT ha ha be as nosy as you like. We can't move unfortunately as we have 50% custody of my stepson so have to be where his school and mum are, at least for a few more years. I just moved jobs in November and knew it was going to be difficult but i am 1000 times happier than where I was before which I'm hoping will help with the IVF result. I'm not sure what to do about the travelling as DH doesnt like me being away overnight and its half the price to drive home than it is to stay away in any case. Hopefully i will get used to it or end up with a day or two in different offices at some point. I keep telling myself that this is as bad as it's going to get with all the hormones coursing through me

Thanks girls,

Hugs to everyone having a tough time at the moment. Gosh this is difficult eh!

CMo - great you've started injections. I find it so difficult to stay positive too. I think they should send us boxes of PMA with all the meds they send out.

Arora - sorry your scan didn't go as hoped. Mine grew a lot in the last few days of stims. I hope yours have a growth spurt over the weekend. Have they changed your meds at all?

ILT - thanks for the relaxation tips. I've spent the afternoon curled up on the sofa with the cat watching films, so feeling much better now. Hope your doing well and sickness and insomnia are not too bad.

Libby - hope your hanging in there!! Sorry about the cramping, hopefully it's a good sign for both of us!!

Star - so exciting that you've started meds.

Lizzy - Sorry you've not been feeling great, with a 6 hour commute it's no wonder your exausted! I do a 4 hour round trip and can't imagine adding another 2 to it. Good luck for transfer next week.

Comfy - hope you get good news from the embryologist. I was a nerous wreck waiting for them to call before my transfer!

Mo - transfer tomorrow. Yay! So exciting. Are you planning to transfer one or two? I can't remember if you said before. Hope the pelvic pain subsides before then. And I'm totally with you on the suposotries - yuck!

Amore - Hi! :wave: welcome. After downregging on buserlin I had a very light period that only lasted a couple of days, but I don't know how usual this is.

 

[star25]

Welcome amore, we're all at different stages so not too late to join
Ive only taken buserelin as a trigger so cant help with the bleeding I'm afraid

Thank you for all your support ladies

 

[amoreamy]

Thank you everyone! At the moment it seems quite light, albeit crampy, so we'll see! I'm looking forward to moving to the next stage, as down regging is clearly not my thing.

Very happy to join in at last

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Lizzie, I see. As long as you are happy with it, that's the most important part. It's hard to find a job where you can be totally happy. So Yaay for finding one! wait...are you driving? For whatever reason, I thought you take the train. Maybe that's someone else.

Jaybo, during my "TWW" time, my 45lbs dog curled up in front of my stomach pretty often. I told DH that he was roosting. I have 2 eggs in my stomach that need the warmth of his body . He is my mother hen . The sickness comes and go unexpectedly through out the day. I am not even thinking about it anymore lol. As long as it doesn't come while I am driving on the freeway, I am good. I do have lots of doggie bags in my car and already used it once. Very handy. Safe me from having to clean up puke in my car . When is your OTD again Jaybo? Some time next week?

 

[Jaybo]

Haha ILT. Your dog sounds so cute! Love the idea of him roosting on your eggs, my cat's been doing that a lot this week too.

OTD is next Saturday (14/02). I was thinking of testing this Sun, which would be 8dp3dt, but DH wants me to wait until OTD.

 

[Comfycushions]

Hi amoreamy. I think my down reg period was a bit heavier than normal. I already can't really remember.

Lizzie, poor you and your killer commute. Glad you feel a bit better after acupuncture. Not long to go for you know!

Ilt sorry about the insomnia and the nausea. So cute about your doggie.

Mo, pupo tomorrow, yay!!

Star, hooray af turned up and you're good to go. Boo it's so painful though.

My four embryos survived the night. There's a 2, a 3, a 4 and a 5 cell. Transfer is 9.45 tomorrow. We're to decide in the morning whether to transfer 2. I feel prepared to risk twins if it'd improve our chances. Quite frankly I'd try anything!!

The cat continues to survive as well.

 

[Jaybo]

Fantastic news comfy! Good luck with your transfer tomorrow. Glad to hear the cat's doing well too - what a fighter!

 

[MoBaby]

Me and comfy will be pupo in the morning!!! Yay!!!

 

[star25]

So pleased for you comfy and mobaby! good luck for tomoro and happy to hear about thr cat also comfy xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Jaybo, hey..if you are ready to test on Sunday, do it. Your DH doesn't know how insane it feels like not knowing lol. He doesn't need to know . I did my test super early in the morning...like 3am when I wanted to go pee. Luckily, all my tests are on the other bathroom. So I'd sneak out while he was sleeping with my phone and tablet and sat around in the bathroom a bit . I just felt that I had more concentrated pee so I couldn't doubt myself when I see the result. It was a legit Pee alright .

Comfy, EEEKKKK!!! Transfer 2! Let's see if we both can get twins out of it . That cat of your is a figther! Just like Momma .

OMG, we have 2 transfers tomorrow. Mo and Comfy . Yaayy.

 

[MoBaby]

I have to decide to tomorrow how many to transfer. Its a difficult decision on my part. My RE says transfer just 1. BUT I have been pregnant 3 times (not counting the chemicals) and from the double embryo transfer have never been pregnant with twins. I did get pregnant on a single embryo from a fet cycle. So I know single transfers work I am just stuck on what to do.

Here is the dilemma: My uterus is not normal. So carrying twins is likely to be very difficult for me and very high risk. I am already high risk for uterine rupture and limited space with one. So I know I do not want to get pregnant with twins. But I never have had luck with one transfer either. My son was a result of two transferred.

I am going to discuss it with the RE tomorrow and the embryologist. For sure if there is one that can be transferred but not frozen it will go back in me.

 

[star25]

I can understand your dillema mobaby, go with your instinct as in sure you will make the right decision thats best for you xx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Mo, that sounds like a difficult decision. But I am sure your RE and embryologist can guide you toward the right path. I don't know if this will help you with decision making. My friend did her first IVF w/ 2 embies and only 1 implanted. She recently did FET and transferred 2 more embies and again...only 1 implanted. In between the fresh and FET, she got pregnant naturally with 1 baby .

 

[Bumpsparkle]

Good luck for 2mrw Mo and Comfy!! Very excited for you! x

Star - Congrats on starting! Let me know how you get on with the tabs; are you on progynova?

 

[Libby4snoopy]

good luck tomorrow Mo and Comfy

Jaybo- I wasthinkning of testing on Monday-7dp5dt-but now Im really freaking as Ive had pretty strong cramps in lower tummy and back all evening-it feels like before my period comes

 

[Aurora CHK]

Thanks guys. No change to meds - do some clinics do that then?

Hi Amoreamy!

Hang in there ladies, we have each other at least! It's such a comfort to me.

I'm going to go home and try to train a kitty to warm my eggies

Will try to get on laptop so I can properly write to everyone's updates xxx

 

[Ilovetomatoes]

Libby, so you are only 4dp5dt right? I did experience mild back pain and definitely cramping. At some points, it hurts pretty bad that I couldn't walk until it passed. So hang in there. It might be implantation pain!

Aurora, my clinic adjusted my meds based on my response through ultrasound and bloodwork. Just grab kitty and put kitty on your belly! hahaahaha. They are so nice and warm anyway perfect for the cold weather .

Not sure if anyone is familiar with Theo and Beau but they are soooo cute sleeping together since puppy and baby. https://instagram.com/mommasgonecity
