Indigo... so sorry... it just sucks doesn't it... everything we go through for something that is so easy for so many...

No I am not POAS. I have too many memories of being disapointed and that wasn't with IVF or FET, just in the 2 years it took us to naturally conceive our DS in 2004. I am ok to ...

Re: FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

Hi everyone,

So here I am, day 6 of my 2 ww (day 25 of my cycle) and the usual nasty PMS symptoms have arrived. I could rip everyone's head off... I feel so irritable! This can't be good... Can't help but feel sure that AF will come later this week... Feels so much like a normal menstrual cycle ...

Re: FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

Hi All!

Had my FET this am. Transferred one snowbaby.. Not sure what to think..or how much to hope.. The lab worker came in and we asked about the quality of the embryo. She said that the cells of a blast usually shrink when frozen and inflate when thawed but this can take time. Mine had not ...

Re: Freaking - OHSS 6 days post transfer?

I too got OHSS that started about 5 days before my blood test. I too was told that this was a positive sign of pregnancy so in a way, you want it to continue... I gained 9+ lbs in less than a week and ended up being drained twice (unpleasant... but manageable and the relief you feel is worth it ...

Re: FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

So we're on a roll ladies! My FET is scheduled for tomorrow at 11am! I had such bad OHSS during my IVF in August that I don't remember my emotions, other than being focussed on the discomfort of the OHSS.. Now with natural FET, I feel this calm sense of "my baby is coming home...". It's a sweet ...

Re: FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

Hi All,

Seems like so much has happened in the few days that I haven't been able to check the board... My heart truly aches to read about all the BFNs... Too many of us know what that feels like... Wouldn't it be great if we could all be in the same room and do an actual group hug... For those who ...

Re: FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

Hi Blair,

Thanks for keeping up the list and asking where we are at. I'm expecting AF in the next couple of days. Then I call the clinic to plan the natural FET according to my normal cycle, no meds except for Prometrium right at the regular ovulation stage and low dose aspirin once AF comes. We ...

WeHaveHope:

Both were done with on an outpatient basis... It took about 1.5 hrs. They use ultrasound to find the spot to poke you. They can freeze the first layers of tissue but when they poke through the last wall, ouch! The 2nd time was easier...

Re: FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

Dear Wehavehope,

I had severe OHSS in Aug after my IVF. I gained 9 lbs in less than a week. I too felt awful awful.. I had fluid drained twice and felt immediate relief. It only hurts for the few moments that they poke their way into the abdomen. They drained 2 litres the first time and 1.5 litres ...
