P(unless)PO

So, we had our ET today! After all of the delays we had, I was too superstitious to join the August Tropical Ovaries group, but I'm rooting you all on.

I had acupuncture before and after and everything was very lovely (ET was slightly more painful than I thought it would be, but whatever I'm just happy to have gotten there :))

In other news, DH and I got in a screaming match about two hours after we got home about cutting pineapple. I wish I was kidding. I think emotions were just running high. It escalated when I convinced myself that with the huge spike of cortisol and crying that occurred that this was doomed. Everyone says take it easy and don't get stressed. Now, I'm scared we ruined everything.

Thanks for listening.

  • Congrats on the transfer! 

    And I promise you, you absolutely did not "ruin everything." Absolutely not. If one argument was all it took to doom a potential pregnancy, there would be a lot less parents in this world!

    Have a delicious snack, and watch a movie or read a book or whatever you like to do to unwind. GL!

  • Yeah, really don't think it matters. MAYBE if you continued to scream for the entire two weeks, but even then I'm unconvinced. ;-)

    We did a sET! RE seemed happy with the quality of the Embryo, so I was happy about that.
    Beta is next Friday 8/15. Praying praying praying!
    When is your Beta?

    What @airidh80 said!  If you could ruin everything with an argument, my parents would never have had any kids, and I'm the youngest of 5.  (Obviously, my mom did not pass her fertility on to me - I got her hips instead.  Yay me).

    It's out of your hands now.  Find something to do that you enjoy, and try your best to relax.  GL.

  • Congrats on being PUPO!

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary

    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN

    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis

    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5

    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)

    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

  • Congrats and how the TWW goes quickly for you! Feel free to still join the August group, we'd love to have you!

    I agree with PP, one argument will not doom you. Of course we all want to be perfectly calm about all of this, but that's not the reality of the situation.  Fx for you!

    That will be great, I'll check in at the next check in. Thanks for welcoming me.
