JAN/FEB/MAR 2009 Ladies!!! :arrow:

[Lady_J]

LoL... Sisi, what r u up to? LoL... dont worry, I wont tell your DH, I wish I could see his face when they tell you..."OMG, its twins. That will be so beautiful. I would love twins or ven triplets. Last time I put 2 embryos in only because I only got 2 fertilized.. if I can convince them and if I get them, I am going to tell them to put 3 in this time. Hopefully at least 1 will stick and if 3 stick then triple the excitment. yipee.

waiting for 4... babygirl, I am so sorry, I cant tell u enough times. but you're right, now u can move on and try again.. and this time I bless for the best for you and for all of us. Good luck tomorrow at your appointment, I hope that they tell u that u could start sooner if that is what your heart desires. Keep us posted. And also have fun at your Xmas party too.

Hi girls,

Hoping to join this thread with all of you. I was on the Oct/Nov/Dec thread and got a BFP but m/c last week (in week 8 ). I had a D&C yesterday and we are testing to see what went wrong.

I'm not sure we'll be doing a full IVF next cycle because we have 4 frosties so it might just be FET so I'm not sure if being on this thread is ok for me to be on but I'll stay for now and we'll see. We are going to meet with the RE in 2 weeks to discuss next steps and hopefully have the D&C results by then.

So, we'll have to try again in 2009!

Hope to hear great news from all of you!

-Robin

[Lady_J]

Hi Robin... of course u can join. I am so sorry for your loss. It is such a terrible feeling when u have come so far only for it to turn out this way. but I am glad that you are doing good moving forward. I hope it all goes well for you in 2 weeks. Even if u do FET, u are still so welcomed her. We all need all the support we can get. Hoepfully, with this cycle I will have enough to freeze just in case I dont get my BFP.

What day exactly do u have your RE appointment? Keep us posted and welcome.

Hello ladies,

Well there is really not a thread for FET in Jan, so here I am. I had my ER in Oct and had to freeze the embryos due to hyperstimulation. So this entire time I have been depressed, sad and mad because I couldn't do the 3 or 5 day ET. I have my RE appt on 12/22 to discuss when and how to prepare for the FET. I have been counting down the days to see the RE not even the holidays have taken the anticipation away

[TKat]

Good morning everyone! I’d like to join this thread as well. We had our 1st IVF cycle back in November and got a BFN. I’ve been on birth control pills and start my Lupron tomorrow. It looks like my ER and ET will be in mid-January.

Lady_J – I’m sorry to hear about your BFN. I remember you from the November thread. Your original posting on this board brought tears to my eyes a few minutes ago as I was sitting at my desk. Your DH sounds great. I’m happy to see that you’re staying positive and are excited again! It took me awhile to get excited again...but now I am counting down the days.

Robin – I’m very sorry for your loss. I hope they are able to determine what went wrong. There are so many ups and down in this process. I wish you the best of luck this time around!

BarbD – I’m sorry they cancelled your ET because of hyperstimulation. I’m sure it was disappointing to make it that far into a cycle only to have it cancelled. Your FET will be right around the corner and I’m sure those embryos can’t wait to get back where they belong. I had OHSS pretty bad. I still went through with the ET because my OHSS started the day after. We had no frosties unfortunately.

Just curious….are any of you in the IntegraMed Shared Risk program?

I hope you all have a great day!

Hi Robin- I too had a m/c last week @ 8 weeks. I decided to not to a D&C, I guess it just sounded too scary for me. I am glad you were able to freeze some embryos though. That's got to help get you through this knowing they are just waiting for you.

I only got 11 eggs on my ER, 6 were mature and 6 fertilized. @ 3 days, only 2 were decent grades and the rest didnt make it to day 5 for freezing. I hope this time I get a backup plan but I also liked not having any frozen babies to worry about. No tough decision on adopting them out when I am finished with my baby process.

Ok ladies, have a good day. It is only 7:15 here and I am ready to go back to bed.

[Sisi1]

Hi everyone welcome to the biggest plot of BFP thread there ever was !
(working on the whole PMA thing )

Barb- How many frosties did you get?
What did you experience as the first symptoms of overstimulation?
Do you know how high your E2 levels went?
Sorry for all the questions, just really interested

Welcome all FET'ers

[JennLB25]

I don't have time to do most personals, but wanted to say GOOD MORNING to all of you and WELCOME to our newcomers!

My boss, the attorney, is here and will be here all day, so I will not be able to post for the rest of today. He just walked into his office with a client so I have a minute and wanted to say hi.

Robin and waiting for 4, once again I am sorry for your loss and it is great that you are ready to start again so soon. I can't imagine what you went through.

Lady J I hope you had fun with the BD and time napping! I still haven't had the time to get to my bag of meds to let you know exactly everything in it, but will as soon as I can. But a lot of what was communicated earlier was in the bag.

My DH will be doing the shots at night for me. He works a daylight shift from 7am to 7pm so he's at home when I go to bed.

to have fun It is great that we are on the same board again! Man the recovery from surgery was really rough! But, I'm through it now and ready to move on! THANKS FOR ASKING! You're a sweetheart!

To be honest I don't know how this whole IVF process works. When we discussed our IVF a month and a half ago with the RE the timeline was for me to start AF around the 9th of December and do bloodwork around the 29th of December then ER and ET around January 19th or so. Since I didn't start til the 15th of December, my RE appointment for bloodwork and mock transfer is now January 5th, so I'm not sure exactly where that would put my ER and ET. I guess I'll find out on the 5th. I may be closer to your schedule after all to have fun.

Well crud, my other boss just came in, so I have to go. Have a great day ladies!!!

[robin611]

Thanks to everyone for the great welcome's & support. Yes, it is tough to think about starting from scratch again but what else can we do?

Waiting for 4 - My RE recommended the D&C so we did it. I think we didn't even question not doing it because we just want to try again as soon as possible. Emotionally, it's hard but we aren't getting any younger.... It also helps that we have the frosties although we have to hope they survive the thaw! Now, I'm worried about all these details!

Lady_J - Well, I just scheduled my appointment with the RE for Jan 13 which is the next available appointment because of the holidays. But, I'm going to email him and see if that's ok since he said to schedule it for 2 weeks from now. I'm sure if he wants to see us earlier, he'll have some pull with the office staff!

I'll keep posted and good luck to all!
-Robin

[waiting for 4]

Just back from the doctor- looks like my natural m/c only took 2 days from finding no hb on Monday... My lining looks great (it surprised the nurse) and if my labs show my levels at the right place i start BC tomorrow?!!

It'll be pretty bittersweet to lose a pregnancy and start the process for the next one in the same week.

My new schedule (if the labs come back good) is as follows:

Start BC- 12/19/08
Start Lupron- 1/2/09
Start FSH & LH- 1/17/09
ER- 1/30/09
ET- Early Feb (I did a 3dt last cycle)

God I miss my baby... I hope I get another shot at it this time around.

[Lady_J]

hello ladies... I'm glad that we are getting more & more ladies on this forum. This makes the experience much more exciting.

Waiting for 4.... babygirl, I'm so sorry again & again, but I am also glad that you are able to start so soon. That's great news. So you start BCP tomorrow... u see, now u r ahead of me. Good luck with your cycle and your lab work. Everything will turn out good, you'll see.

Robin... I have to start from scratch also, and it was upseting thinking about all the injections and preperation but it will be all worth it at the end. So you go in on the 13th, good luck to you as well. This is our year!!!

JennLB25... Hi Jenn. Yes, i had a great time BD'ng. And some more today. Wouldn't it be so great if by some miracle, I would get PG. I guess I am just dreaming. oh well, it's worth a shot. So now u r not going for labs till Jan. 5th? Ah darn, but its ok, it will go by pretty fast. I was all confused too when I did my first cycle, I had to ask the RE time and time again to explian the process cause I thought it was a ling time process, but in reality the process is only about 2 months or less. I do BCP, so 1 month of BCP and 2nd month stims, ER & ET. Good Luck to you too.

Sisi1... Babygirl, your PMA is vibing thru my PC. U bring shivers down my body , cause u r such a joy to have on this forum. Yes, and welcome to all FET'ers

TKat... Hi Hun, welcome. Yes, its me from the Nov thread. I just hope it doesnt turn into a custom for us, thread after thread after thread. I hope and pray this is the last for all of us, until it's times for baby #2 I am sorry I made u sad with my post. I cried as I typed it.. it was hard to get the call telling me it was a BFN. I did the dumbest thing and went to work thinking I would be able to handle any answer. A fool I was. I went to the bathroom and cried my eyes out, I had to tell my supervisor I didnt feel good so I could go home and cried my way all the way home on the train as I told my DH. People probably thought I was crazy even tough I was hiding my face. And when I got home, I tried to clean my face so my daughter wouldnt see me.. and my DH first thing he did was hold me and tell me it was going to be ok. Your gut just tears inside, u cant swallow. But enough about that.. I am very excited to be starting again. It took me awhile oo, I was trying to go back and think, what did I do wrong.. but it was nothing. I did everything I was supposed to, it just wasnt my turn. I am glad that u r excited to start again as well. Good luck with your cycle, and wish & pray for oour BFPs. Welcome.

BarbD... Welcome to you to barb. I'm sorry they couldnt do the ET in Oct for you... bad bad OHSS. But I am glad that it has cleared and now u can proceed. Good Luck with your appoinment on the 22nd. Let us know hot it goes. Good Luck.

Well as for me... I stayed home againa nd slept all day with my DH. I love when he holds me in his arms. Well, my head hurted too, cuz I get these really bad migranes and one came on today. Plus we did the BD But tomorrow i have to go to work, there are a few ladies that have vaction days so thy expect me there. Well, ladies, I am so glad that this forum is turning out so well. And welcome to all.

Janette

Sisi1--my OHSS got so bad that I could not move out of bed, I couldn't go to the bathroom or walk without feeling like my uterus was being ripped out. When my RE did the u/s 3 days later I had massive cysts on both my ovaries. He said we had to freeze them because it would be like putting a ballon inside a ballon.

Actually I don't remember the numbers since I was so frustrated I threw my little notes away and wanted to walk away and donate my embryos, DH convinced me that things happen for a reason and when the time is right we will have our little precious baby. He also says there is a baby in heaven just waiting for there mommy.

Robin and waiting for 4--sorry for you loss and I commend you for starting again right away. Things will only get better

Lady J-- I like that nap idea sound wonderful. I wish DH and I had the same schedule, I work 7pm-7am and he works 3 am-1pm. So we only see each other about 1 hour a day unless we have the same days off.......Then Party

[to_have_fun08]

TKAT - Welcome to the board. I remember you from the Nov thread. Sorry about your BFN but looks like you have a good start till your next cycle. Looks like you will be one of our first BFP's!!!


Robin - Glad to see that you have joined us. I'm pretty sure that they can probably get a FET in before the end of March so this looks like a good place for you. There are so many familiar names on this board. Which is a good thing because we all will get our BFP and carry our babes for 9 months.

wishing for 4 - I am not happy that you had a m/c but at least it was quick and you can get on with your plans. BCP's already, that is quick.

Lady_J - back to work today, not so fun. After my last cycle I was having dreams of bding and getting PG. So I waited a month to begin BCP's. Of course it didn't work. This time I just told the RE to put me on BCP's for 2 months. Maybe I won't have a cyst/follie growing and kill my next cycle. It is always nice to dream but after TTC for 4 years I think I have come to the reality that regular Bd'ing won't work, eventhough we have unexplained infertility.

BarbD - A lot of RE's say that Fet's are better to do because you don't have all the drugs in your system and it is more natural. The OHSS could have been a blessing. Though I know you didn't think so when you were going through it. I have heard it is no fun to get OHSS. Good luck with your appointment on Monday. You will be doing your FET before you know it.

Not much is going on with me. Just waiting for my RE appt on Tuesday. Tonight I have to go home and wrap x-mas presents. Which means watching Miracle on 34th Street. The movie used to be my mom's favorite and I really like it so every time I wrap presents I watch the movie and drink egg nog.

You know what is really bad? The only Christmas decoration I have used this year is the one on my signature for this board. Not 1 decoration in my house. I guess I am being a Scrooge this year.

Happy Friday to all.
