Cycling In 2012 Board (formerly Fall/Winter 2011-2012)

Hi Lauren, only a few days till you can POAS. Keeps no. My fingers crossed for you. My clinic doesn't even measure estrogen so I dont know what to tell you. But great news Bout the p progesterone.

AFM, I just heard form the doc and they are triggering me on Sunday night for retrieval on Tuesday. So no more SnS. Because I was on Lupron and BCPs only for short time, my body is responding like gangbusters to the stims. Not bad for a 40 year old. But here is a SNAG - my estrogen will probably be too high to transfer. So we will most likely do a freeze all cycle and transfer during a FET immediately after. That's fine - I knew of this possibility going in. I don't want to risk any embies on a uteral environment that is suboptimal. I'd rather just wait 2 months and do it then.

Lyd-congrats. I definantely think your making the right decision with the FET. You font want to end up developing OHSS which is magnified by pregnancy and could bring on a slew of complications.

Thanks, WE. I don't want OHSS and I don't want a BFN, which is likely if uteral environment is screwed up by high E2. It happened to me on my first Fresh cycle and it was a waste of 3 embies. I'd rather gather up my patience and wait.

I am excited for you. Another FET coming up! And this time you have your levanox injections! I think it is going to work!

[WeHaveHope]

Lyd-thank you. I'm just leaving up to God. I praying fir his will. I don't know what plans he has for us but either way I know he wants what us best for us. I have to trust in that.

Lauren, with my fresh cycle in 2009, my estrogen level with my bfp was, I believe, somewhere around 45. No joke, it was in the toilet! Needless to say they increased my estradiol dramatically and gradually got it up. As you can see, all went well. Best of luck!

LYD10 - good decision Will your frosties be 3-day or 5-day?

We - great to see your moving closer towards your next cycle.

Gina - good luck with the loan. IVF has pretty much sucked us dry too.

LauraN - my clinic doesn't measure estrogen so can't help you with numbers I'm afraid. Can they give you patches?

Neffi - yay you are PUPO. Bring this board some good news. We need it. no pressure of course.

Leora - I read your last post and can totally relate to what you wrote. Although I was really upset after the low second beta result and learning that the pregnancy was non-viable, it only took me a day to get back to normal. I only had 4 days of hopes and dreams to undo. So much easier than what I went through with my last pregnancy. I'm impatiently waiting to bleed and know that a bleed will feel strangely cleansing. Weird! Any idea of what your next steps will be?

AFM - had my 4th beta pn Fri. My beta is still rising at snail's pace. My progesterone is down from about 150 to 34 so I'm hoping a bleed isn't too far away. i've got anothe beta on Tues. If my HSG is still rising, I'm hoping that my clinic will do a scan. I really don't want to find out I've got an ectopic pregnancy just before Xmas. I would be 6 wks tomorrow. i'm over this now!

Went for ultrasound #4 yesterday...

No growth, no heartbeat this time. We lost the pregnancy. It was rough to see that after all this progress we had over the last 8 weeks. We have to of a D&C and then genetic testing to find out why this happened. Felt heartbroken yesterday and numb today. Hate to post bad news and wish I had a positive report back from yesterday but it looks like our dream is over for now...

Hope...I'm so sorry. My heart goes out to you and your DH.

[Julia73]

Oh, Hope. Honey I am so sorry. I just don't understand why things like this happen. I'm praying for you all. I'm beyond words. Big hugs to u...

[WeHaveHope]

Hope-I'm so sorry. I wish there was something I could do or so to wipe away your pain. Please knowthay I am here for you. I am praying for you and DH. Sending you a big hug.

[Gina1976]

Hope- I am so sorry. Prayers to you and your DH. I can't even begin to imagine.

[LYD10]

Hope, I am so sorry. This is really hard to get to heartbeat and see it 2 times and then it to be over. That's awful!

[Neffi211]

Hope-- I am so sorry! My heart is breaking for you!

We-- glad to hear things are looking good for your 12-30 FET.

Lerora- how are you doing????

AFM-- bedrest almost over and then the wait begins....I do have a question for everyone.....when you did an FET, did your RE check your E2 w/ bw? I think its weird that it wasnt done. They only checked my lining and then Progesterone yesterday. I usually do fresh cycles so I dont really know.

[Gina1976]

A friend of mine posted this...it sounds really interesting and thought I would share it.
