April/May Cycle Buddies!

Baqdymun ~ My doctor said no sex until after u/s. She said that it will cause your cervix to bleed.

[Blaqdymun]

Deftonesmo, Margi & Nicksgam...

Thanks for your feedback & what you guys are saying makes so much sense. After I get my last beta results today, I will ask just to be safe. I have been telling DH we have too much to lose so, I'd rather wait but it is not easy!!!

DH fully understands but yeah, it's tuff ladies

Lauren- Quick input about the Viagra. I had never heard of using it before switching to this RE but apparently it worked. In previous cycles I was on an increased estrogen protocol but this RE doesnt do estrogen and put me on the Viagra supp. Even though they were pretty miserable to use 4 times a day and they are expensive. I think I paid $350 for a 10 day supply even though I ended up with some left over. Good luck.

Blaqdymun- I know exactly what you mean!!! The last time we were allowed to have Relations was the night of the trigger (aka March 29). It seems like forever!! Even though the paperwork they originally gave me said not during the 2ww, when I got my first beta results the nurse said not until the US. Luckily our appt is this Wednesday!! I would really think as long as its "gentle" and you arent having any bleeding you should be fine but who knows.

Hi everyone!

I hope everyone is doing fine and enjoying and be gratefull for being alive!!

Blagdymun- Honey, personally, after going through all this IVF rollercoster of meds, needles, mood swings and financial drain, when I get my BFP Iam going to do anything to keep it! and if that means NO sex for 9 months then this will be it!...well ok, I hope NOT for 9 months!! but honestly, as long as that BFP is safe then any sacrify will do! Sacrifices for having a baby and keep it I guess they never end So, hang in there you sex machine mama and enjoy your pregnancy!

Heidi- Good luck with ER tomorrow!

PAT Group- Hey girls! I felt like stalking the PAT group this morning and I've read and seen some wonderfull pics of some of you and your babies! What a wonderfull thing! you gilrs are leaving in another world and I am looking forward to join you after my FET this time ! I send tons of baby dust to you and your babies my friends! Lou, you look stanning! Your pump has barelly begin to show! Leora your babies pics look great! and I am glad in general that all of my Winter Cycle buddies are doing well with their pregnancies! Margi! Rio! ((hugs))) and xxxx to you all!! Get ready to cheer me on my BFP girls!!! and please send over some sticky vibes!!

AFM- I have started my Estrogen pills and patches today and I am very excited!! I am making Roast Beef with potatoes and veggies in the oven tonight, to celebrate with DH the begining of our FET cycle!! Hopefully this FET will bring that BFP this time! DH and I we are SO anxious to get! I called my RE today to inform him about starting the meds and he wasn't in so I talked to my nurse and clarify some things about taking the pills and the patches. So, my first u/s appt is next Tuesday on the 10th and depending on my lining etc the RE will tell me when to have the FET. I will definatelly go for another one or two more u/s's b4 the FET but the nurse told me that from experience I will probably have the FET either next Saturday or Monday/Tuesday (between the 15-17th day of my cycle) So, looks like we are UP and running...again! ...I am keeping my fingers crossed that this time will work!!!! .....(Lou, if you are reading this, don't forget that you promise to keep your fingers crossed until I get my BFP! Well, get ready b/c this is IT!!! )

Baby dust to us all! I wish MAY brings only BFP's in this board!!!!!!

Ester - I'm SO sorry - hopefully the doctor can shed some light on what they think happened with this cycle. Everything seemed to be going perfect - I was sure you would get a BFP I hope you are doing ok - hang in there!

Anton - Yay for starting meds! Sounds like you are ready for your FET and I think your babies are ready to come home to mama!

Heidi - good luck with your ER tomorrow! Hopefully you will have lots of mature eggs!

Dallas - congrats on your transfer and being PUPO! Take it easy and let those embies settle in!

Lauren - that stinks that insurance won't cover anything else. Hopefully your doctor can work something out for you so you can get going on your FET!

AFM - I did POAS the last few days and all were negative so I was pretty sure that it is BFN for me this cycle. Did my bloodwork first thing this morning and they just called to confirm it is negative I'm so bummed that this is not working and getting to the point where I just don't know what else to try or if it is even worth continuing to try. I asked for a consult with the doctor and they don't have anything with him until June, even just via phone So I guess I have to wait a while to figure out what to do. I sent him an email and am hoping that maybe he will fit me in sometime sooner. My DH and I talked about trying a cycle with donor eggs but I really want to know that it is not my lining that is the issue before going down that route. I hate the waiting game - I feel like we are all constantly waiting - whether it is for AF, 2 ww or doctor consults

[Addy]

Kbillsy - I'm so sorry! I am sure your RE can squeeze you in before June. That is way too long to make you wait before you are given further instructions/directions on what to do next.

No word on my beta yet.

[nwquiz]

kbillsy am so sorry. big hugs to you my dear. this is so stressful but please keep up the pma. your turn is coming. get that second opinion if you have to. good luck next time.

[anton]

Kbillsy- I am so sorry honey! wish I could do something to make you feel better This IVF procederes and the waiting and the failures sometimes it feels unhuman to bare and its so unfair! And no matter what we say to each other in this board it can't take the pain away, I know. But if it helps, ALL the women in this board we are living your life and feel your pain even though we can't help each other. Sometimes just to have someone that understants what cross you are carrying and can identify with your pain of failure it makes you feel better. it helps me. Be strong my friend and have patience and it will happen! For some it happens on their 1st attempt for others on the 5th, 6th or the 10th! we can never know when! no one can tell us when it will happen! only God knows...but it will happen for you my friend! I believe in you and you will be a mother!!... I would push for that appt with your RE if I were you to happen this month! i can't believe he is that busy to won't have time a whole month!! ...and again, be strong! my prayers are with you! ((hugs))

Killsby: So sorry, hun <<<<hugs>>>>> BFN's suck big time

Blaqdy: There are other ways of being "intimate" with your DH Since "relations" were off the table the first trimester, we relied on "other ways" to relieve my DH

Anton: excited for your FET cycle!

AFM: I'm officially starting stims tonight . . .

[LeeS]

Kbillsy - Sorry to hear that it didn't happen this time.. Keep the faith that there is a plan for you and DH to be parents and your time will come. Take time to heal and hopefully your doctor will be able to speak to you sooner than June.

kbillsy ~Hon, I am so sorry! That RE just has to fit you in!

AFM~ Well finally some good news for me! I had my baseline today and even though I was only on BCP for 7 days everything looked perfect! So my RE said there was no reason not to do everything this month, plus he gave us a price reduction and free meds. He said he felt awful that we have had such a hard time. I thought that was very sweet of him! So I will be ordering my meds today and go back for my next U/S on the 13th. My ER is scheduled for May 19 right now. So excited! I'm glad I don't have to wait till June b/c my husband will be in and out of town for the next 6mos due to work starting in June. So here we go again, third times the charm, right girls!? Love to you all, and thank you all for the wonderful words the last few weeks! Kelly

I spent time this morning calling the ins plans my dh can switch to. We need to make a decision by May 9. Most plans cover 5 cycles (same as what I had). I spoke to a nurse at 1 and she said they also count cancelled cycles as a cycle if I used meds. A FET counts if I use hormones. I had 3 fresh cycles, 1 FET with patches and estradiol pills, and 2 cancelled cycles which I did use meds for. She said my RE would have to send my records in for prior approval so they would know exactly what I had done.
My question is. What if I get a new ins and find a new RE and I do not tell my new RE that I have had tx before? It would suck getting all the tests done again, but not if I were going to have 5 more cycles covered. Would they have any way of knowing? My mom says it's fraud and I would get caught lol. IVF fraud!!! I like my RE, but I am considering it.

[easley4]

Addy~ Congrats lady!!!!!!!! W h !!!!!

Lauren~ I think your moms right, everything goes under your social. Sorry...it would be tempting though!:roll:
