Good Morning Everyone!
Vlada, I hope that your 2ww is going well!
I went in for my ultrasound this morning (day 10) and my lining is at 1.0 so they've said that I can start my progesterone today and will have my ET on the 21st. I can hardly wait!
I can't believe how easy a FET is compared to a fresh cycle!
Hope everyone else is progressing well!

I agree it seems so easy, I keep feeling like I'm missing something. I can't believe I don't have to go back in for more labs every morning.
KellyM, best of luck on the 21st.
Vlada, hope you're doing well with the 2 WW.
Stressball, how are you doing? I'm sooooo ready for Friday!
Everyone else, how are you guys doing? Does anyone else know the transfer date yet?

Also, now that I'm having 2cc progesterone daily with delestrogen shots IM on Wed & Sat, I can see that my hips are going to get pretty sore if hopefully this works. The MD says I'll be on shots for 12 weeks. I'm using a heating pad. Do any of you guys know any other tricks to reduce soreness, like maybe some type of exercise or something?
Thanks,
2ndtimer

Hi guys,
Thank you for thinking of me!!! I am going crazyyyyyyyyy here!!!! This bed rest thing is horribly boring!!!

And my lower back has been hurting since the day of the trasfer really bad, i can't even sleep.
I called the clinic and i am going tomorrrow for the urin test to rule out any problems with kidneys. I was noseaus this morning but again i think it is because of laying around too much , it is way too early for any pregnancy symptoms, i am only 3dpt.
I am very excited for all of you guys to have your trasfers soon, then we can all be on our 2WW and support each other!!!

Is anyone else doing acupuncture? I'm having a treatment right before the transfer on Friday and they asked if I would like to have a pre & post treatment. I said just the pre transfer accupuncture because I've been told to be on bedrest after that. Does anyone know if this is standard practice?
Vlada, how are you doing with your back pain? Did they diagnose it?
Stressball, are you able to think about anything else at all? I'm not. I'm afraid that I've been really, really unproductive at work this week.

Hi all,

Sorry I was out of the loop for some days...but feels good that someone is thinking about you..and ya thansk for the update...

Vlada...cramps is a good sign...so smile now...and watch some movies...ask ur DH to give u a foot massage....

2nd timer...I am very unexcited this time unlike the 1st ivf...I guess I am afraid of being excited now...I am also afraid that I am running out of money..after this FET..I dont know how to arrange for more money...Soory for being so negative....my ET is tmorrow at 11.30....will bed rest after that...and no I have not done any accupunture this time...I guess I am not taking FET seriously..

Is anybody taking aspirin....I am taking it on and off....

alright fetters....will post you soon about the ET...i hope my frozen babies can make it...good luck 2nd timer.....I will pray for u....it would be soo nice that we both get pregnant at the same time and have our babies at the same time..and be friends forever...

Hi Stressball,
I know where you're coming from. After my 1st IVF didn't work I was devastated, then the FET didn't work and I was completely devastated. We had to wait for about 2 1/2 years to save $ & make up our minds on what to do next. Then the IVF I did in April was another BFN....
So I probably should be feeling not so hopeful, but maybe it's a sign of insanity, I don't know. I'm feeling better about this cycle than any since the 1st one. I'm not sure why. Part of it is that I'm doing a refund program that lets us try 3 times in a year or $18000 back. Of course just the meds alone are throwing us into debt, but knowing that we get the majority of $ back takes alot of the pressure off. And I know that if I go through this for 2 more fresh IVF cycles & no baby then it just wasn't meant to be. I think if that happens I'll get a couple more dogs and start training for a marathon, anything to just think about something else for a change! I never imagined myself without kids, it's scary to think about. Anyway, hang in there. You never know & at least tomorrow gives you a chance.
I also want to wish Kelly best of luck on the 21st. I may be away from the MB's through the weekend d/t my bedrest. Vlada, I also hope things are going well for you too. Cramps can be a good sign, tons of bright red blood =bad sign.
Take Care,
2ndtimer

Stressball and 2ndtimer,
I am so excited for you guys!!! Yea, you are going to be on 2WW soon, keep your chins up!!

I take baby aspirin every day, as well as my folic acid and prenatals. I know cramps can be good but these are just like period cramps or may be all of my 4 embies have implanted and that is what causing it

Naaaaa ,i don't think so.
Well, goo luck ladies and baby dust!!!

I am looking forward to joining you guys next week on the 2ww!

Hi,
Yes, i still had cramps, but i am taking baby aspirin, so it is a very low dosage, it is mainly antirejection , so the embryos will stay. However, i am nt sure if there are any alive embyos inside me anymore. I POAS today again and it was a negative, i am 7dp3dt, it is still early to tell, but i have all of my period symptoms, it is crazy. Sooooooo my hope is fading away a little bit, but i am still thinking positive

Vlada

Oh dear Valada...I know what u are feeling right now...I am feeling very sure that my embies did not stick....I get a weird empty and open feeling in my cervix when I am going to have AF...which is what I am having now...just like last time...its good that u are keeping your hope alive...u got the cramps that means something did happen inside you....where excatly did u feel the cramps...also watch when u wipe..some brown spotting might come along the cramping due to embies digging in....

Now when i beleive that my embies did not make it...I should plan things for next time.....I reallly want to do D&C OR Endo biopsy as that increases implanation.....as I am pretty much unexplained I want to try that but not sure if the RE will agree. I will certainly change something before I go for the next one...I think thinking about what next will help my anxiety...

god help us all,
sanya
