@derevival: Agreed, I was expecting all kinds of other things but not this. Soooo bloated and constipated.
I'm hoping to wait for the beta because I had a bad experience with testing out my trigger before (and I was never a POAS fan).
-
Got the fert report - 5 retrieved, 4 fertilized!!
-
Wow!!! Congrats. That is wonderful news!
-
@derevival: Do you know when your transfer is? How are you feeling?
-
@spaniellove: that is an awesome percentage!!
-
@swedishfish: Oh, I didn't post it in this thread - all 4 divided!
-
@spaniellove: that's so exciting! Are you doing a 5 day transfer?
-
@swedishfish: They're letting me know tomorrow if it'll be a 4 or 5 day transfer. At this point I guess they're so close together that I'll take either!
-
@spaniellove: I'm feeling a 1000% better today. Thanks for asking!
We are doing a 5-day transfer. Office notified us today that our 11 fertilized eggs are dividing and doing everything they are supposed to. They will leave them alone until Sunday morning when we go in for the transplant (9 AM). Very excited!!!!
-
@spaniellove: will you transplant more than one? are you going to do anything for the first 24-48 hours after the transplant (like just lie in bed or do normal activities)? My DH wants me to stay in bed for the first two days afterwards, which I don't want to do and think it's actually counterproductive...haven't decided yet.
-
@derevival: @spaniellove: Wishing both of you so much luck! I know this sounds totally hokey, but I read studies that showed higher success rates when IVF patients laughed after their transfers (they did some clown thing I think). Anyway, my take home was to watch all my favorite funny movies and, in general, make an extra effort to surround myself with humor and positivity during my tww. Definitely helped my mental state, if nothing else
-
@merryc: thanks for the advice! That's a great idea...laughter and positivity
-
@derevival: A long time ago we wanted to transfer only one, but now we're pretty sure that if we have two decent embryos we'll transfer them both. It's just not an option for us to keep doing IVF OOP.
@MerryC: That makes sense! I think I started early, watching all the trashy shows I could find!
Does anyone know when the post-retrieval discomfort peaks? The gassy bloating is better today than yesterday, but today my ovaries hurt so much more that I can't find a position to sit in that isn't painful.
-
@derevival: @spaniellove: I am stalking you both! Sending mega extreme baby dust up for you both:)
-
@princessbaby: aww. Thank you! We will take it all!
@spaniellove: sounds like it's worse today for you. I tried a heating pad, drinking green tea, plenty of water, elevating my feet. Not sure if they worked, but I feel a lot better today
-
@PrincessBaby: Thank you!!
@derevival: I'm still doing the Gatorade, salt, protein deal but haven't done the heating pad since Wednesday. I'll try that again tonight.
-
@spaniellove: @derevival: I'm stalking u guys too! So excited! Hoping for sticky babbies!
-
@spaniellove: any update?
-
@tequiero21: thank you!!
-
@derevival: Still waiting!
@tequiero21: Thank you! You know I'm hoping to be as lucky as you!
-
Good luck you guys!
-
@derevival: I'm transferring tomorrow morning!
@wheres_c: Thank you!
-
@spaniellove: yay!!! Tons of luck tomorrow!!! I'll be thinking of you!!!
-
@spaniellove: Good luck!
-
@spaniellove: good luck tomorrow!! Make sure you laugh like Merryc said
-
@spaniellove: yay! Me too!
Is tomorrow 4 or 5 day for you?
-
@derevival: @spaniellove: Good luck you two! So excited to hear how it all goes!
-
@derevival: Tomorrow is day 4. There just weren't very many 8 cell embryos so they wanted to go ahead and transfer them. Best of luck tomorrow! I hope it all goes smoothly and you get a lot of relaxation afterward!
@kentuckygirl: @swedishfish: @Shutterbug: @marionberry: Thanks guys! I just hope and pray they're still doing well tomorrow. Hold on babies, I'm coming for you!
-
@spaniellove: @derevival: Wanted to wish you all the best of luck tomorrow!! So exciting!! Lots and lots of baby dust!
-
@derevival: Good luck!
-
@spaniellove: @derevival: Good luck! I am so pulling for you two!
-
We are back and I'm doing well. We transferred 1. The whole process was quick and painless. Lying in bed now and just plan to sleep, relax, and watch some tv!
-
@derevival: yay fingers crossed for you! glad it went well.
@spaniellove: good luck today (if you haven't already gone)!!
-
@derevival: nice!!! Good luck! So exciting! Although the wait for the results sux boodie!!! Relax and don't stress!!! Easier said than done!
@spaniellove: good luck today!
-
I ended up using the bedpan! <cringe> But otherwise everything went great. My embies are not the most beautiful (day 4 is such an awkward stage) but I think they're little fighters; they've made it through so much. And now they're home.
Sorry for the terrible quality photo, I took a pic on my phone of the printout while I was at the clinic because I just couldn't wait.
-
@spaniellove: @derevival: YAY! So happy everything went well for you both! Relax today and let those babies get firmly implanted! I can't wait for the good news!
-
@spaniellove: @derevival: Soooo very excited for both of you!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed your little embabies stick!!!
-
@spaniellove: those are some beautiful lookin babies! i am thinking lots of sticky thoughts for you!!!!
-
@derevival: @spaniellove: you both should relax for the rest of the day and let your husbands wait on you! I'm crossing my fingers for both of you!
-
@spaniellove: they are so beautiful! Thanks for sharing! I am so happy for you.
Thanks everyone for your happy thoughts and sticky wishes for our embryo! We are trying not to get our hopes up.
I'm hoping to wait for the beta because I had a bad experience with testing out my trigger before (and I was never a POAS fan).
