Welcome to 'Trying To Conceive Over 35'

Hey ladies.. it has been 3 weeks in the making.. but I just got the good news!!!!:thumbup: :happydance: :yipee: :wohoo: My FS called Spain and got them to give a verbal 'YES' to my FET. My FS is still waiting on the paperwork to come in, but my tests came back normal, meaning that at the time they did the biopsy I was receptive to implantation. So the only road block appears to be those pesky NK cells and we have a plan to fix them!!! :haha:

So I have an appt on Monday with my FS and I'll be starting my real FET!!! :happydance::happydance::happydance:

How long is the whole FET cycle? When is the earliest you would know?

A frozen embryo transfer mimics a regular cycle. If you are unmedicated they just follow you and wait until 5 days after you ovulate, and place them back. In a medicated cycle they prime your uterus with estrogen and then once it gets nice and thick they have you do 5 days of progesterone and then transfer. So the entire process is about 3 weeks until they can transfer the embryos, and then you are basically at 5DPO so it doesn't take that long after the transfer to know if you are pregnant, only 5-10 days. I hear that in a FET they take a little longer to implant so it may not be until closer to 7-10 days after transfer that I will get a BFP. So we'll just have to wait and see how it goes! I'm guessing transfer will be somewhere around May 17-21, and then 5-10 days after that we'll know!!! I might know by Memorial Day!!!! :happydance:

Baby dust to you!!!!
 
UGH.. I'm up to my eyeballs in dust and grime left over from the flooring install. I feel like I have swept pounds of dust out of here every day! :wacko: I just vacuumed the new stairs to get rid of the excess threads, so that is done :thumbup: Now I'm going to concentrate on getting my bedroom back to normal, or at least try! I need to sweep the floors and put things back where they need to go. Then time to give doggies a bath and get myself ready for my girls night dinner! We're heading to the Melting Pot for some ooie gooie goodness!

Where is everyone? Missing my buddies.. Coy and Angel and Chantal? :hug: :sadangel:

Ali.... so HAPPY for you!!!!!!!!!!!:happydance::happydance:


Hi everybody, I hope you are all well?


BW.... a Christmas baby:happydance::cloud9::happydance:. I hope you are taking it easy, how are your symptoms?



Chantal.... how are you mrs?



Where is Coy? I have only read back a few pages as this thread moves so quick, I hope all is ok.


Hi everybody else.


And apologies ladies, I have had a rather stressful week which has left absolutely no time to get on BnB.

The good news first.... baby is fine and growing well :happydance::happydance:. I can't believe I am 12 weeks by LMP, and by ovulation my dates are spot on at 11 weeks 5 days :happydance:. My weekly scans with my RMC have now finished so I'm hoping my transfer to the maternity specialist will not be long. I'm aware that I'm not out of the woods yet, but my chances are becoming more normal. The RMC did comment that my septum could be a problem, as my uterus is now growing it is easier to see. It is broad but the depth doesnt look deep. I think he wishes now that he saw it for himself and operated on it. He asked if I was going to have any more children after this and I said probably not as I've been through enough. I will have to see him if I change my mind. I did ask if it could cause problems further in with this pregnancy but he thinks as I've got this far and nothing seems implanted adjacent to it I should be ok but I am at a high risk of a breach or early labour. I find this quite surreal as my DS was 10 days over and weighed 8lb 4. Normally a septum makes the uterus smaller which can prohibit growth in the final weeks resulting in small and/or early babies. It makes me realise that my DS is a true miracle and hopefully this one will be the same.

And the stressful, but progressive news is things with my DH came to a final blow on Tuesday. He went to the GP, supposedly to discuss his drinking issues and smoking and came home in foul form. We have been arguing the past fortnight as things werent improving and by last weekend I had reached the end of my tether. Anyway, he was in bad form as the tablets the GP gave him for his smoking might make him sleepy. When I asked about the drinking he said he didnt talk about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!:growlmad::growlmad::grr::grr:. That was the final straw for me. I lost it and told him he gave me no choice but I want to separate. He moved out to his mates on Wednesday after another few arguments about it.

By Thursday the begging crying texts and phonecalls came, which I ignored. By Thursday evening he had arranged to see a counsellor next week and his GP again on Friday. I met him on Friday and we had a good heart to heart and I think the penny has finally dropped that he is an alco of sorts and how much hurt he has caused me for about 7 years. There are other issues which are linked to the drink, and probably any addition such as money, the internet and fecking social networking sites and he now see that he has broken me. I don't trust him and the thoughts of being with him at the moment just completely stresses me out.

He has a long and hard journey ahead of him but acknowledgment is the first step as people keep telling me. I told him I dont know how long we will be apart, it could be a week or several months but if he sorts himself out I am willing to try and rebuild our marriage. I am remaining open and realistic and at the moment I am planning my life as a single parent with the dream that we will reconcile. He now sees that he cant put me under pressure because of the baby etc and has agreed to stay away and we'll have short daily contact and visits to try and rebuild and support each other.

So basically I've been a manic little bee running about getting things into place and then dealing with all the house stuff. My family and friends have been wonderful and have been up every evening to keep me company and tonight I am on my own relaxing and I'm just about to put on a DVD (Pitch Perfect).


I'm still nauseous and a bit sick but I'm happing to say the MS is lifting a bit :happydance:. Hopefully I'll get my 2nd trimester bloom shortly (I'd better) as I cant wait to get back out runing again, I havent been out for a month as I've been so sick.


Luv you all girls, I'm trying to read and keep up in the meantime :hugs::kiss::hugs:

Hey girl, happy you checked in. No real symptoms just tired, runny nose, swollen boobs and getting up to pee a lot! I will really start to celebrate at 13 weeks.

I'm sorry the sitch with dh is still causing frustration and stress. I hope he sees there is no way to continue on the path he is on. Take all the time you need and focus on your health and what is best for baby. You are a strong woman and I admire your conviction. It's great that you have family around you to help you through this time. We are here for you anytime you need to vent.

How is everyone today?
 
Well the spotting has pretty much stopped but still getting negative pg tests. Took a test Wed, Fri and today. Period is due Monday so I should know in 36 hours. Im gonna take another 1 Monday if AF doesnt show...

Fx'd for you!!!!

Agreed! no AF is definitely good news! I hope she stays far away from you gals!

Hang in there!:heart:

...PMS symptoms are the worst tricksters ever. If there was only a way to not have so many phantom feelings, the 2ww would be so much easier.

AngelSerenity
I loooved being pg after the morning sickness went away. That's the best phase! :happydance:
 
Angel!

I'm sorry to hear of your marital issues, but I'm glad your DH is getting the help he needs.

I'm starting my FET on Monday!! YAY!

Thanks BabyWhisperer!!!

I'm really not sure how the actual FET goes. I have my baseline on Monday, and I start estrogen priming (vivelle patches) and acupuncture as well as some supplements to make my uterus nice and inviting. Then we do the transfer. I would think it will be in about 3 weeks :shrug: If you think about it, a normal ovulation happens around day 14, then a day 5 embryo should be put back on 5dpo, so that would be around day cd 19-21.

So I'm thinking May 17-22? Somewhere in there! Then since I'm already 5dpo I only have to wait 5-7 days to POAS :test:!!! I am hoping to get the good news before the big Memorial Day party I'm going to on the Sunday. Oh and Vladimir is hoping to be here at the end of May so maybe I'll invite him and he can meet some of my friends!

BW.. when is your next appt? How are you feeling?
