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

[Waitingkay]

He he Kynlee - I'm glued to the PC because a friend of mine should deliver tonight (twins from fet, yup)!
Well, If you're on a medicated cycle it's more likely that they know what they are doing. I know of a fet that the transfer date was scheduled 6 weeks ahead of time, and succeeded - meaning they direct you with the meds to be hormonally ready for the transfer -not necessarily ovulating, but the lining etc . Regardless - I absolutely think you should call them, and call again if you didn't get a straight answer. You go thru A LOT and you need to know and make sure everything is done best. Even if you think that makes you a nag, it's such a small price to pay.
I saw a GP yesterday when the pain persevered. It was quite a scene really, leaving my ILs house trying not to be a drama queen Anyhow, after being tested by a nurse the GP concluded it wasn't the heart. We did tell him that I've just started Decapeptyl - and maybe indeed it was linked. He thought it was just a muscle, and asked if it started during a strenuous activity, to which I just confessed that I was standing out in the garden with my youngest SIL, saw he raised his eyes from the screen, smiled and asked if this wasn't a good enough reason!!!

waitingkay- LOL I am glued too and I shouldnt be im at work lol... Yah for your friend having a FET baby, gives me so much hope... Is this a friend you meet through here or a firend you already had? I know a couple people not from the board that went through IVF but they dont talk about it so I dont ask questions... Wish they were more open, After I get my BFP and have a baby I want to be able to tell the world my experience so that maybe I can be of some support to someone.... I am so appreciated to have the support from this board it really helps when know one can understand what us girls go through... My DH doesnt want us to discuss with our families but he agreed to let me tell my BF so at least I can talk to someone when i need to cry...

waitingkay- well hopefully it is just a pulled muscle, at least you asked better safe then sorry

Evening ladies

Kala: I've never been on lupron so I cant answer your questions im afraid but i hope your re comes back soon. Will you have progesterone thr ought your two week wait?

Christy: gosh, I dont know what to suggest, everyone has good thoughts for you. All i can say is that stress is a major issue with ivf and so if the relocation adds to your stress i would wait a month. You do have time unless there is an issue with your eggs? Its really hard to look at the bigger picture when we are so engrossed with ivf and our desire to push forward but I really do think a month will be ok. There is never a perfect time but there is a less perfect time if you are very stresses. Does that help at all?

Hopethisworks: oh you poor thing. My dh getsbmigraines and uses a migraine cap which he got in the pharmacy. Could you get one?

Leora: good you are getting a massage, it will help. Yes, losing weight was odd! But i walked and swam lot but i think the big thing was I didnt snack and im a real grazer

LauraN: hello!!! I hope thurs goes well. How are you feeling about donor?

Kynlee: I was 19 days after af when i had my er. Did you change your hair col?

Waiting kay: I meant it when i said you were strong. Is it that dh doesn't want to adopt. How do you feel?


Afm: climbing that mountain seems to have sent my hip into orbit, its killing me!! Its alternating between burning hot and freezing hot. Osteo booked for wed thankfully. Anti inflammatories until then.

Hello everyone...

Leora - Really excited for you and wishing you lots of eggs and good fertilization on all of them!!

Sonya- WOW those are some good positives so early.. I am so scarred to try those sticks!! Good Luck and hope they continue to get darker!!

Sunshine - I agree with the girls on here. Just go with the flow of things and everything will work out the way its supposed too.. I know its easier said then done since I am a huge planner.. I need all dates and times and places to go in order and make sure everything is set!! But I need to start just letting it happen and it will for you too!!
My Birthday is November 26th 1975 (I'll be 37 this year.. :0 )

Madame X - Good Luck with this cycle!!

Ninde- Sounds like your trip was amazing.. And losing some lbs is also a plus!!

Kala0704 - I did 6 days of progesterone for a 5 day FET transfer (& stopped Lupron the day before I started the shots)

Hopethisworks - Sorry about the Migraines I heard some people get them when scaling off the meds.. I get them once I stop cold turkey at the end of the cycles (after the BFN... ) I'm supposed to scale down but I get so mad I just stop and then I get such a bad migraine. ughhh.. Hope you feel better soon!!

LauraN- Good Luck with your new upcoming cycle!!

Kynlee - Sorry your AF was so bad.. I am on day 3 with mine and its been horrible!! for my FET Cycle that we just finished we did a 18day after AF for our 5 day transfer - in my heart I think we should of waited a couple more days because I ovalulate 14days after AF but my AF is then 18-20 from then.. So I think my body isn't ready for implant until day 20-21 after AF but he said I was ready..

Sorry if I missed anyone..

AFM- Dr called on Saturday as we were packing for an overnight trip to the beach with our Teens and Furbabies for Fathers Day weekend! He said that after looking at everything its hard to know whats going inside me and why nothing is implanting but we can do some more test to see timing issue.. Thinks I might have silent endometriosis since nothing else is showing it . I did bring up that my Beta 3 intergrin test was negative and maybe I should of been on Lupron longer and he said well maybe we tested too early. We tested 21 days after AF so if was negative and my body wasn't ready to implant then why would we do our transfer 18 days after AF then following month? I'm just confused and just not confident that this is going to work until we do lots more test and figure this all out. He said we can go on BP for a couple of months.. But for now since I started my AF on Saturday (yes as we packed to go the beach and swim in the pool.. ughhhhh It was soooo & still is bad!!) that to start the at home kits next week to see when I ovulate and I can come in 5 days after the two pink lines to do some blood work. He said we can do no meds and just stick the embies in 5 days after our ovulate but I was like NO i'm not wasting these last 4 until I know forsure what is going on. There has to be something on why they are implanting. So I agreed to do the blood work 5 days after ovulation but thats it. We will go from there from that blood work and then possible to do another Beta 3 intergrin test and or D&C for a scrapping on the lining. I made an appointment with my OBGYN and looking into some Chinese naturist to scan my body and see whats going on ( there's this one that everyone swears by that helps heal cancer to getting pregnant to finding early tumors.. ) Hope it works.. I just want to lose some weight (those progesterone shots made me gain like 10lbs) get fit do all these tests and maybe go for a September but most likely November FET cycle. We have a trip to Maui Hawaii in July with our teens sooo looking forward to that.. My step daughter just gradated from 8th grade so come August we will have 2 high schoolers (and yes trying for a newborn... ) my husbands like lets just adopt a baby that needs to have a good life. I would want too if we didn't have my son and his daughter but we are blessed with them and I really only want my own! Then I told him why don't we go with a surrogate and put our embies in someone to have our baby and then my husband said then we miss the whole part of you doing it. (so I think he really wants to go through the whole emotions of it.. since he wasn't around for his daughters. - he didn't know if his daughter was his until after she was born so he didn't experience it. & me I didn't miss my son's first 1yr since dealing with my 1st husbands death after our son was born.. So for alot of reasons we want to experience this together but as our kids get older and us as well its getting scary because we will be literally doing this as our older kids leave to college & my husband said what if our son gets his Girlfriend pregnant in the next year or so and then we have 2 babies to watch.. I'm like enough! that won't happen.. (but it could.. ughh) Next month will also be my little brothers 3rd birthday! Yes my father had a baby with his girlfriend who is around our age and now have a 3yr old. You know I cried and cried on how my 62yr old dad can still have a kid and here i was trying to have our own! Life !! Sorry for going on and on.. Lots to research and see what our next step is!! I won't be on everyday but I'll be watching and stalking you all!!! xoxoxoxo

I cannot even function right now, last night my 93 yr old grandmother was put into ICU with a breathing machine. Doctor says she has pneumonia and congestive heart failure. Her vitals today showed improvement but it's not promising. Growing up my grandmother played a huge role in raising my brothers and me as my dad worked, and my mother lived in another state.

My last visit home was around Christmas, I feel so guilty that I haven't visited since then. At the same time I can still picture her waving goodbye from down the hallway as a nurse helped her back using her walker. Please keep my grandmother in yall's prayers. Thank you- Christy

[WeHaveHope]

HopeThisWorksM-congrats on making it to the second trimester! I am so happy for you.

Sorry I haven't posted lately. I've been pretty tired and also a but busy at work. I have another ultrasound tomorrow. I'm hoping to be able to pin point a delivery date with my OB. Also, we just has our shower on Saturday. We feel very blessed to have such wonderf family and friends. We were very blessed to receive almost everything we need for the girls. I hope everyone is doing well. I want you all to know that although I don't post as much anymore I sm always thinking of you guys and always keep you in my prayers. Sending you all my love.

Sunshine-I just read your post. I am so sorry to hear about your grandmother. I will keep her in my prayers. Sending you a big hug tonight.

Maria

[Sunshine1576]

Thank you Maria. On my grandmother's will, she stated she does not want life support. I'm praying she can keep breathing on her own, as I said her vitals have improved over the day she's been in the hospital. i spoke to my brother tonight...she's not responding and most likely won't know we are in the room, but I could still visit if I felt it might bring me peace. Why do I have to live so far away from family when I need them?

[blueeyedreamer]

Kala-my re requires 6 days of progesterone prior to transfer.
