@FliegepilzHut: *hugs* i'm so sorry.
-
@tequiero21: Thank you. Better luck next time, I hope?
-
@FliegepilzHut: Yes, definitely better luck next time! You and me, cycle 2 will be our lucky cycle!!!!
-
@Sunshine1810: Indeed! When are you planning cycle #2?
I just got a call...adding insult to injury, my beta levels have continued to sky-rocket...now 19,711. So frustrating.
-
@FliegepilzHut: Ugh I can't even imagine how frustrating that is!
I am just waiting for AF (late of course), and then starting BCP. Looking at late September for retrieval and transfer.
-
@mrswin: I have been going back and forth about testing out the trigger. I really wish I had some cheapies left to do it so that if I do get a + next week that I will have no doubts that it is real. Especially because I think my trigger was a high dose. Maybe I will just suck it up and use my expensive ones to be sure.
@Jenn23: I know it is hard not to worry during all the stress and not to mention hormones but try not to write you little eggys off just yet! Numbers can only tell you so much, the rest you just have wait and see how it progress, try and stay hopeful!
@Robyn_ZA: Glad you had such a great RE appointment. Nothing feels better then leaving the office feeling like your paired with the right doctor to help you start your family!
@FliegepilzHut:
I am so so sorry. That is heartbreaking.. Wish more than anything that things would have turned out differently. Hang in there, give yourself the time you need to process and heal but don't give up hope for a baby in the future! @Sunshine1810: Why is it AF always takes her sweet time to show up when you actually want her to come? I swear... Hoping the waiting game goes by quickly for you!
well as for me. I ended up with 3 frosties instead of the 4-5 they thought I would have but I am still ok with that. My pup woke up feeling more like himself and eating, so thankful. Still have a close eye on him. Anyone else use endometrium? what a mess..
-
@Mrs.Pinecone316: I don't know, I was just saying that this morning! It drives me insane! I do know that I ovulated late this month. I'm sure that it's because it is my first cycle after the failed IVF cycle. I'm sorry you didn't get more frosties but happy you got some! That's great!!! I am really hoping I end up with some frosties next cycle! FX! I am SO glad that your pup is better too! I did use endometrium, it is a total mess! So gross.
-
@Mrs.Pinecone316: I have Prometrium and it is a total mess....the worst.
but if it helps then I can put up with it I guess! I am just using dollar store cheapies to test right now instead of the expensive ones. @Sunshine1810: I hate when AF takes her sweet time when you want her to get here! Will they be changing your protocol at all this time?
@FliegepilzHut: I am glad that they are going to do some additional testing. Please let us know how we can support you over the next couple of weeks
-
@mrswin: I am going to do the same protocol, but my doctor is going to try to level out my medication doses. I responded fairly well, but she hopes that by keeping my doses consistent, I will have more of the 8 cell embryos like the 2 we transferred, and hopefully get some frosties. Last time was my first cycle and my med doses were all over the place. Now she knows what I need to stim properly. She said that even though it failed, there were lots of silver linings to my last cycle, so that gave me some hope. FX!!!
-
@Sunshine1810: I bet you'll be ahead of me by a month or so. Hopefully your body will get the message so you can start back on BCP soon!
@Mrs.Pinecone316: Thank you! DH and I are both feeling sad, frustrated, and a bit disgusted...but far from hopeless. Still wishing you tons of good luck and sending
!!! I'm very glad you have 3 frosties and your pup is feeling better!
-
@Sunshine1810: That's great then! Our RE said the same thing when we were starting out that they learn the most from your first IVF cycle and often are able to get it "right" the second time around.
-
@mrswin: Thank you!
Forgive me in advance any ranting! I will try my best not to drag everyone down...and am still wishing you all the very best! -
@FliegepilzHut: oh my gosh, I am so sorry!!! You are in my thoughts.
I think we need a new thread because I keep missing all of the recent posts and responding only to older ones.
@Sunshine1810: I'm so excited for your next cycle!!!
@Mrs.Pinecone316: I'm glad you have three frostiness and that your dog is better!! A much better day for you!!
This estrogen spike the last few days sure got to me. I'm a weepy mess. 3 hours 'til trigger.
-
@FliegepilzHut: you are never dragging anyone down!! We are all here for you. I miscarried four years ago this week and just grieved a few days back over the loss. I'm so sorry you are going through this.
-
@Jenn23: Thank you! (also, sorry you had to go through that!)
Why should this all be so hard, I wonder??? Please feel free to start the new thread. Enjoy your injection-free day tomorrow and FX for a great retrieval Friday! -
@FliegepilzHut: hmmm, how far are u? Could it be that it's too early to see anything? U aren't bringing anyone down. We are here to support u!
-
@tequiero21: 6w/3days yesterday... Should be able to see cardiac activity (most of the time) by now.
-
@FliegepilzHut: I hope so! Still no AF in sight.... Oh and by the way, you are NOT dragging anyone down! We are here to support each other!
@mrswin: Yeah, I am cautiously optimistic!
@Jenn23: Thanks!
I am so excited for your retrieval and transfer!!!! How are you doing today?
-
@FliegepilzHut: What do the doctors say about hcg increasing? Could it be possible u had twins but u only saw the one that didn't make it? I'm pretty sure at around 6 weeks, they couldn't tell I had twins. They said one for sure, maybe a second one, but we didn't really see anything....
-
@Jenn23: good with trigger and retrieval!
-
@Sunshine1810: good luck with the next cycle! Is it an fet? Hope u get your af soon!
-
@tequiero21: Thank you! It's not unfortunately
We didn't have any frosties...
-
@FliegepilzHut: Walled you! Hope you are doing ok.
@Jenn23: Good luck tomorrow, hope the trigger was easy last night!
-
@mrswin: It's hit or miss, unfortunately... Wall posting was reciprocated.
Sending lots of and your way!
-
@tequiero21: I get a repeat U/S tomorrow, just to make sure there is no change. But there is literally NOTHING there, consistent with a "blighted ovum"-- so a placenta/trophoblast going crazy, but no embryo.
-
@Jenn23: what time is ER tomorrow? Hoping it goes smoothly! Also, sorry this week was a painful reminder of your loss 4 years ago also
@FliegepilzHut: Don't worry about dragging us down, what better place to vent and say how you really feel than to a bunch of people who know how heartbreaking infertility is? Hang in there. Praying for a miracle tomorrow at your ultrasound. Whatever happens though, just take it one day at a time.
@mrswin: How are you feeling? Any cramping? Wish I felt more... but I keep telling myself a lot of people feel nothing when they get their BFP's. I ended up finding a few old cheapie tests and tested to see if my trigger was out this morning and it is. I almost wished it was still just to see the second line since I never have before lol. Oh well, will have to wait for the real thing I guess.
-
@Mrs.Pinecone316: 3 frozen is a great result-- congratulations! Yes, I'm on the Endometrin too-- at least it's better than the nightly huge PIO injections, and I also like it much better than the Prometrium @mrswin is on (that stuff is even more sticky and creamy, yuck!)
@Jenn23: Best of luck with your ER tomorrow!!!
-
@momazon: I just saw the note about comparing blastocyst images from google and your own print out. I don't know why I never thought of that!
-
@FliegepilzHut: (((hugs))) vent all you need to. We all know how the process is frustrating and nerve wrecking as it is already. I know it's hard right now but don't lose hope and try to stay positive.
-
@Blooiez: hahaha, specifically this page: http://www.advancedfertility.com/blastocystimages.htm
-
@Mrs.Pinecone316: I have been having cramping today on and off. It seems to be pretty similar to the cramping I get before AF but I am trying not to read anything into it at this point. Glad that your trigger is out....at least you know the two lines you see will be a
-
@FliegepilzHut:
-
12 hours! 9:30 EST tomorrow is my retrieval. Thanks for the well wishes. Today was kind of rough. Was so, so sleepy that I slept on and off throughout the day. And feeling pretty crummy still, so anxious to get these eggs out!
Thanks for all the support!!
-
@Jenn23: FX for a great retrieval tomorrow!
Thank you all so much!
I'm not holding out for a miracle...but am hoping to feel "normal" again soon.
-
@Jenn23: good luck tomorrow! You'll do great!
-
@momazon: wow! My print out was no where close in detail to those beauties!
-
@Jenn23: good luck tomorrow! Sending good vibes your way!
-
@Jenn23: I will be thinking good thoughts for you tomorrow!
-
Thanks!! On our way now. Hope we get lots of eggs!!!
-
@Jenn23: rock it, girl! Make your husband get you a yummy treat on the way home.
but if it helps then I can put up with it I guess! I am just using dollar store cheapies to test right now instead of the expensive ones. 
Sending lots of
