@Leialou: sorry to hear your news. Frozen cycles can be easier on the body, so I'm optimistic for the future.
@Apex: updates? -
@Mrs. Jacks: Nope, nothing yet. Will update after my appointment.
-
Thank you all so much for your kind words. Since we have 4 frozen embryos we will be doing a FET. I would like to have one natural cycle before going through it to give my body some time to get back to normal. My ovaries are still enlarged and causing discomfort so I would love for them to go back to normal first. My DH doesn't want to wait and would be happy to do a transfer in October, but we're going out of town the 24-29th. So we'll probably be doing the FET in November if my doctor gives the ok.
I'm going to call on Monday and schedule my follow up appointment. I'll definitely update y'all on that.
The main thing I feel is guilt for forcing my embryos to be created only to stop growing.
-
@kentuckygirl: good luck tomorrow!
@Apex: I'm looking forward to your update! Are you really nervous?
-
@Leialou: nervous is a total understatement for how I'm feeling.
-
@Leialou: Taking a breather in between sounds like a good way to put this cycle behind you and get a fresh start.
-
@Apex: Good luck today!! Can't wait to hear your update
-
@Leialou: I think taking a breather in between is a great idea. My RE no longer does fresh transfers so everyone has to do FETs. I had my retrieval in August, am on a break this cycle and then will do the FET next cycle. I have to say, that I was annoyed at this at first since I didn't want to wait, but it really has been good. My body feels so much better!!! Also, DH and I have had a chance to get some much needed time together where we don't talk about IVF.
Hopefully you're FET works! It's so great that you still have 4 embryos left.
-
@Apex: looking forward to your update too!

Hi ladies, the good news is that i was able to see my little peanuts. The other news is that i have 4 beautiful, little peanuts in there..... i sat in my car and cried for a while before i had to go back to work. my RE advised me not to panic yet, because we still don't know if all of them are viable. But for the love of God, i have 4 babies in there, how on earth do i stay calm?
I'm really excited about getting to see my babies tho, lets see how things go for now.
-
@Apex: holy WOW!! 4 peanuts!! Congratulations on every single one of them. You are going to be a FANTASTIC mama. They are lucky to have you!
@kentuckygirl: congratulations!
-
@Apex: Oh wow. Whatever happens...it will all be okay in the end. You can do this!
ETA: Other than the 4 babies, how are you feeling physically? Are you feeling okay?
-
@Apex: Wow, what a surprise! I hope everything goes well and you aren't panicking too much. Maybe reach out to Mrs. Green Grass who had the same thing happen?
-
@Apex: That is just wow. Congrats!
-
@Apex: Holy IVF overachiever! Wow. I have been thinking of you all day like a crazy person and I will keep sending you + babies lots of love and calming vibes.
-
@Apex: Holy cow mama x 4!!
-
@Apex: 4?!?!?!? Wow!!!! Congrats on getting sticky babies.
-
@Apex: WOW! Staying calm would definitely be hard - but the best thing you can do is send love x4 to each and every one of those little babies in your belly. Find some time each day to just close your eyes, envision them, and send them love
Congrats! I echo @Mrs.Someone 's sentiments about reaching out to Mrs. Green Grass.
-
@kentuckygirl: Good luck to you! So happy to hear that two fertilized! I'll continue to send lots of positivity your way!
-
@Apex: OMG congrats mama! That explains the crazy high beta #
-
@Apex: holy shit! I knew it. Just before your appointment, I almost said,"what if one of those teeny eggs split and there is more than three?"
But I didn't want to make you cry. Talk about instant family! I will remain hopeful for whatever outcome you most hope for. Most of all I want you to be happy and healthy.
-
@Apex: Wow! Congratulations & hugs! Hoping that you and DH find some way to find calm & peace with whatever outcome results. Praying for you all!
-
Thank you so much ladies, your support thru this has been amazing. I feel much better about my pregnancy though, no more tears, i'm happy. things are going to be just fine. I look forward to sharing my experiences with you ladies.
@spaniellove: Funny enough, i don't feel pregnant yet, i'm just really tired and thirsty these days, no nausea, thank God.
@twodoghouse: LOLLLL @ IVF overachiever, you're hilarious.
@Mrs. Jacks: I had a dream a couple days ago that there were 4 in there, but i thought i was just being crazy. Well, i guess my babies were already introducing themselves.
-
@Apex: That is kind of amazing. Somewhere deep inside, you just knew!
-
@Apex: wow....zers!!! I had a feeling there were at least three.... Your beta was really high. Good luck and h&h9!!
-
@Leialou: I'm so sorry it didn't work this time. Hope u get some answers and rooting for the next one!
@kentuckygirl: congrats on two of three, that's really great ratio! Rooting for you!
-
@apex - Love how @Mrs. Jacks put it -- instant family. Sending you love and strength and some calming energy for the next few months!!
-
@kentuckygirl: good luck with your transfer today!! Hope you have a niiiiice relaxing weekend!
-
@Apex: wow, 4! That's amazing.
-
@kentuckygirl: Happy transfer day! Thinking of you!
@Shutterbug: Did you have your beta this week? Any news?
-
@Apex: oh my goodness! 4 babies. Congratulations on getting a sticky pregnancy...as @twodoghouse put it that's certainly overachiever status. I hope you have a fantastically healthy multiples pregnancy. Congrats on you new family!
@Leialou: thinking of you. So sorry to hear about your beta results.
@kentuckygirl: good luck with your transfer today. Have a ice relaxing weekend!
-
@twodoghouse: yes, it was negative. I'm starting up my 3rd IUI cycle and I'm going to be setting up an appt with my RE to talk about IVF next.
-
@Shutterbug: I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope third time's a charm with IUI!
-
@kentuckygirl: I'm wishing you sticky little ones! What day transfer is this?
-
@Apex: hooray! Holy moly!
@Kentuckygirl: a big day for you! You've got a lot of people thinking about you.
-
@kentuckygirl: Hoping for a smooth and sticky transfer today! Take it easy!
-
@kentuckygirl: Good luck on your transfer today. Thinking of you!
-
Transfer went really well! We did a 2 day transfer. My RE said they like to see the embryos have 2-4 cells at this stage. We had one embryo with 3 cells and the other looks really good with 4 cells. Now we pray one or both stick! Thank you all so much for your sticky thoughts!
-
@kentuckygirl: fingers crossed for your sticky baby. Hope the next few days fly by until it's time for betas.

Oh, and here are our little embies!
