Summer Board 2011

[Wishingandhoping]

Thank you everyone for all of your congratulations!!! I took 2 more tests this afternoon, and the line was even more clear. I would post pictures, but I can't even get photobucket to load on my phone.

Kbanks- Congratulations on TWINS!!! So exciting! Well done mama!

Sunshine- I'll start dancing for you too! I was hoping you wouldn't even have to worry about AF this time...maybe the BDing would do it I was on letrozole and Gonal-F for 2 IUIs. I got great follicles with it!

Lauren- I'm sorry to hear that you are disappointed. I still think you are going to get your BFP with these 3 day embies! I actually tried to convince my RE to switch me to a 3 day transfer if this FET didn't work. On our last transfer we had 14 mature eggs, and on day 3, we had 12 embies doing really well. They wanted to take them to blast, and we ended up with 4 good blasts (2 transferred, 2 frozen). There is such a steep drop-off from 3 to 5 day that I feel like we lose embies that could survive if they were put back in me. I can see the merit in both ways.

Ester- I know what you mean about how long it takes to start an IVF cycle. The beginning always drags so much! You'll be getting that BFP before you know it though! Just keep up the PMA, and enjoy all that time with friends! Sounds like fun!

Amanda- Great ER report! I bet at least 1 of those eggs will give you your BFP.

Wehavehope- I couldn't believe my test this morning, and I started crying when I told my husband. We are in this together! I can't wait to hear about how excited your DH is when he hears the news!

akdelp- I'm so sorry to hear your news. That happened to me on my last cycle, and I still grieve the loss of that baby. I'm praying for you and your DH. (((HUGS)))

Lauren~ Don't fret! A 3dt is great too, there is no better place for your little beans then in their mommy! I had 3dt with both of my fresh cycles and got a BFP both times. Goodluck tomorrow!

Kbanks~ Congrats on the twins!!!!! So happy for you. Have you talked to your RE about your m/s? There are meds they can give you to help. When is your edd? Mine is March 14th, SO excited!!!

Wehavehope & wishingandhoping~ When is your beta? So excited for you both!!! This board is booming with BFPs! It's funny b/c my RE office is in overload with them too, must be in the water!

Amanda~ Yay!! 7 eggs is great so happy for you, now rest up and take it easy. Your gonna be PUPO before you know it!

Moorebaby~ Hang in there, this all takes forever but in the the end it's totally worth it! Praying for you!

AFM~ Had our 2nd U/S today everything looks awesome and we got to hear the heartbeat, 129 beautiful beats per minute! Over the moon right now!

[Wishingandhoping]

Wonderful news easley! I know seeing that heartbeat again was just magical!

[WeHaveHope]

Wishing-I am soooooo happy for you. I can't wait to read about your Beta. When is it?

Easley-My Beta is scheduled for this Friday. I am so happy for you. Do you have any pics you can post?

Sunshine-I am also doing the dance for you. Keep us posted.

[Ninde]

akdelp, I know there must be no words to convey your loss right now, but I'm so terribly sorry. Please go gently x

[WeHaveHope]

Hi ladies,

I almost broke my silence today buy I didn't. I am trying so hard to wait until Friday to yell DH if in fact the Beta comes back positive. I am so anxious and filled with so many emotions. I am terrified that after all of the positive HPT's that the Beta will be negative or that it could possibly be a chemical. I don't even know if a HPT would be positive with a chemical but my mind just hasn't stopped. Checked again this morning, of course, and the line is getting a little darker. I guess we will see on Friday.

Sending much love to all. I have you all in my prayers always!

[WeHaveHope]

Just spoke to my RE because I have been having severe heartburn at night for 2-3 night mow. I was concerned because I wasn't sire what I could take. I asked him if my nurse had told him that I had cheated and POAS and he giggled and said yes that he knew. He giggled even more when I told him that I had actualy POAS 5 times. He said that because this was an FET cycle and I had not triggered with HCG that the HCG could only be coming from one place. He said he was looking forward to calling me on Friday afternoon to give me the good news. I told him I had not told DH because I did not want him to be hurt if the Beta was negative bit he seemed very positive about things and said that this would be our little secret. About the heartburn he said I could take Zantac, Maalox, or Tums. I am releaved because I don't think I can go another night waking up at 3am with this heartburn. I have also been experiencing pretty bad temperature fluctuations. Woke up last night sweating but it was 72 degrees in the house. Wow!!! I can't wait until Friday!!!

[Lauren]

Kbanks=CONGRATS on two healthy babies!!!

Ester-SOON....your getting there and sounds like your having a busy summer! Have you ever made it to a 5dt? Just curious..thanks for the support

AFM-Well I was pretty bummed today as you all know. I guess I had such high hopes of a 5dt I was caught off guard! So tomorrow is the day! not sure what we will transfer until we get there or what will happen to the rest of my embryos its my fav RE tomorrow so I am excited to get some answers! thanks for all the love and support!

[WeHaveHope]

I am a little concerned tonight. After speaking to my RE and posting my last post, I began to feel pretty strong lower abdominal pains. I had not felt this until now. I also had a tiny bit of pink discharge when I whiped a's I was preparing to insert tonights dose of Crinone. Sorry for providing so much information. It was very very light which I heard it quite normal with the Crinone and post transfer but I had not had any of this until now, 6 days later. That worries me. What do you ladies think and has anyone else experienced this?

WeHaveHope,
That sounds just like implantation bleeding to me. Keep us posted!

[Kbanks]

Easley, My due date is the March 14th or 15th depending on who you ask, lol. Although, instead of full term being 40 weeks it is 36 because of the twins, so they will more than likely come around Valentines Day.

Thank you everyone for the support!!!

[Sunshine1576]

KBanks,
How did I miss your post, I'm not on here enough? Anyway wanted to tell you CONGRATULATIONS on TWINS!! I do hope they come on Valentine's Day, that would be sweet!

Hello Ladies,

I have been following everyone’s post as I started my cycle back in June. This was my first cycle so I'm still at the learning stage and trying to keep up with the abbreviations. Where can I look them up?

Yesterday was divesting I had a negative blood test. I started out with 34 eggs, then down to 24 eggs, out of the 24 16 fertilized and 4 were only kept. On July 12th, 2 were transferred. I was so positive but then a few days into bed rest I lost hope, can't explain why. My doctor had me on a 5 day bed rest which only made things worse. I have an 8 year old daughter but my husband and I have none together. We have been married 4 years and trying and finally at the beginning of this year my husband was tested. In our case it is a male factor but now going through all of this I'm feeling like maybe its me too. When I had my daughter I was so young and clueless and now years later I’m struggling to have a baby, I never imagined these would be my cards. I'm terrified to use the two frozen embryos we have left. I can't imagine feeling like I did yesterday. I cried until I had a headache and then decided to stop. I see my doctor again next Thursday. Reading this forum has opened up a million questions I which I would have asked before. My husband and I discussed trying again in fall of 2011. I'm so nervous....

I have one 8 year old daughter
