I did an unmedicated FET this last cycle. It was super easy. since I ovulate on my own and my lining is usually great all I did was call RE on my cd1 and they did a sns on cd 2 and then again on cd 12 by day 12 my lining was good (11) and my own follicle ready to ovulate and so all I took was the trigger shot so we could pinpoint the exact moment of ovulation and 5 days later we transferred the embies. I felt so much better doing a natural cycle even though it did not work. I hate how the meds affect me and it stinks since we are doing IVF because of male factor and yet all the terrible meds are on me and they can't do anything for DH. I read a lot of statistics and natural FET's for women who ovulate on their own are just as effective as medicated only difference is that you have to monitor your ovulation 2x a day but its a piece of cake if you ovulate regularly. Good luck I hope I helped.

easley - great number of eggs and let us know the fert report!

mellow - I always had some bloating after 2WW just amke sure of the intake and output and keep a log, hope you don't get OHSS.

Margi - Sorry AF is not being kind. Hopefully she will be gone for 9 mos for you! I am praying so hard you get your BFP. I think I am going to cash in on your prayers again for next week ! Did you have a chance to check out what Leora said about getting your cycles paid for?

nwquiz - welcome!

AFM - I am starting to feel a tid better from my second onset of OHSS. Argh, tired of it. I was stupid and googled all kinds of stuff today and horrified myself about my US results so I am in a complete panic. DH is sweet but he doesn't get it. Nor does the poor guy know how to deal with me crying. I am just deflated and wanting resolution. If this doesn't work it's not like we can go for a fun evening, make love and try again as you girls know well. Oh I wish I could have about 3 glasses of wine!

nwquiz, welcome to our group we are glad you joined us.

rio, don't worry yourself. It's not something to be concerned with right now. So much changes in just a matter of days in early pregnancy. I would say it isn't fair to yourself to think the worst. You saw a sac in your uterus, both good signs. Great signs. I get it, I really do...I've been there so many times. Hold onto hope. Your ultrasound next week will show your little one.

Thank you mellow, your post brought tears to my eyes! How is your weight gain? Drinking gatorade just in case?

[ladybugg1999]

Anna.... Thanks you so much that really did help, We are hoping AF comes in the next few days so we can get a cycle in this month since the clinic is closed from the 23rd to the 3rd. IM really doesn't want to wait a whole month to try again...

Anyone have any idea how long it usually takes to get AF??? I am 11dp5dt

Thanks everyone

Rio, one other thing I was told by my OB at one point, if your uterus is tipped at all it's hard to see and measure early pregnancy. I had a pregnancy 12 years ago that they told me there was nothing in the uterus, even with rising hcg...then the hcg stopped rising and they told me I m/c, then they sky rocketed, and at that point told me I had cancer...all the while nothing in the uterus...this was over a couple of weeks time. then surprise surprise..a little baby and heartbeat measuring perfect for my original dates. She is a bubbly, energetic 11 year old now and I thank God for her everyday. They wanted me to take a pill to help along my m/c...thankful I didn't do that. Hang on tight, sometimes it's a bumpy ride. All because of a tipped uterus. It's possible.

[nwquiz]

congrats blessedmom.

Dee Dee: So what did you decide to do? Go ahead with the Clomid or wait? Your appt with RE is tomorrow, right?

Ladybugg: I am doing the AF dance for you. She has been in full nasty force for me the past two days, so I am fine to send her your way...really...ugh...regarding when to expect everyone is different and a lot depends on what progesterone support you were on. I actually didn't take my morning dose the day of my beta because I "knew" it was going to be negative. (I did it to save one b/c so expensive for me, and to hurry along AF. I did put it in my purse "just in case" I needed to take it at lunch however--in case anyone wants to fuss at me for that. ) Last BFN she came 17dpo (I took my dose that morning), this time 15dpo.

Mellow: How are you feeling today? Were you able to take it easy yesterday after the house showing? Weight ok? I am sorry, but I am going to "Mother Hen" you because I am worried. And, I've heard it before, but it still gives me shivers to hear your story of DD and the troubling early pregnancy you went through. You have been through so much--ladies on this thread have just no idea. You are such a strong woman, and such a survivor. I so hope you don't have to deal with any OHSS mess with this pregnancy. You need and deserve some smooth sailing...that is what I am praying for you. You and how ever many beans you have cooking!!! ( ?) Do identical twins run in your family or DHS's? Is that a possibility do you think?

Blessed: Yippeee!!! The evil stick worked!! You got it!!!
So happy for you!! Can't wait to hear your level tomorrow!

NWQuiz: Glad to see you jump over here, my IUI friend! I will be doing the AF dance for you too!!

Easley: 6 is great!! Did you get the report? How are they doing? Date for transfer yet? How many are you going to put back? Have you decided that?


Rio: Feeling better this morning? Any more crazy dreams or blueberries for doggie breakfast? Or doggie food for DH?! I hope that you are feeling more relaxed. I know each step is stressful..and it is so hard for DH to understand. He's doing what he can--talk about getting a new car. LOL. I am trying to make you smile, but really sending big (((HUGS))) too. Listen to the pregnant gals ahead of you. I hope to have you around to talk me off that ledge when I get there in a month or so! I am sure I will be a bundle of nerves. No doubt.

AFM: Nothing to report. I go in tomorrow early morning for SnS. Will just be hoping that everything cleared out and no cysts to block my path to BFP before the end of 2010. I can just squeeze it in I think!

Margi: Sorry to hear you got a BFN, but happy to hear that you have an uplifted spirit! Good luck with your next cycle, my prayers are with you.
I called my RE about doing a Dec Clomid natural cycle, but I was in an IVF study "Pursue Study" and my closeout day was yesterday. So, I did not start Clomid and will not do any treatments this month. I have an appt with RE tomorrow to consult on whats next. Margi Thank you for thinking of me!
My cycles went from 33d down to 28d and now last three months at 25d, WTH!!! So... tomorrow is my CD7 and I will TTC all natural this week. Maybe I can do it on my own, since I was able to get BFP last Feb without any RE.
You made a comment about that you were happy that you POAS to prepare yourself for your beta, and I so agree with that. I was scared to POAS to see a BFN, and it did hurt, but it prepared me for when my AF popped up. I will be a POAS junky for now on!!!!!

Blessed: Yea, yea, yea. Congrats on your BFP!!

Ladybug: you are a good person!!! Good luck with your next cycle.

Rio & Mello: Sorry to hear about OHSS. Hope you recover quickly

Sorry to miss anyone else on personals, but haven't been on in a while.
Congrats to all with BFP and increasing betas, and u/s
I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

[margi26]

PS Rio: yes I will be adding Menopur this cycle. I had to do something different! Mellow had a suggestion about a coupon with Walgreens that I might try. Any ideas on coupons out there?

[riogirl71]

blessed - congrats!!!!!!!

Margi - have you tried Freedom fertility, look at their site, they have some kind of $500 off or cash back or something. I have some left and I wish I knew I have a healthy bean in there and it would be yours, but I am super scared I might have to cycle again and trust me, i will be with you every step of the way praying and keeping up the PMA in this cycle where you WILL get your BFP! Thank you for all your support, you are the best!

Mellow - how is the weight gain today? Any news on moving here? I agree with Margi, you are awesome! Thanks for telling me about the tipped uterus, I never heard I had that but then again they don't tell you everything!

[nwquiz]

margi-good for you going on monday. i was so hoping for baseline on mon but it looks like it will be wed for me at this rate.but am right behind you. as for coupons if you find out please share. Freedon has a coupon for 100$ off butyou have to spend 1500$ in meds to use it. you are so right on your statement on cost of meds. i have bought half of mine and will get more as needed coz of the cost when you spend 780$ for one pen its crazy. but i wish us all bfp.
Rio- yes freedom has that if you are self pay and buy all your meds from them. they are good about fast free shiping to. i have used them 6times and they have bankrupt me to the tail. you have to but 2cycles full then you get the 3rd cycle big discount which help. oh am you must registere with them first so dont forget that to get credit which only applys to gonal-f.
