September / October IVF

Re: September / October IVF

  • @ShayLatrice your news made my day! I let out a whoop in the office. Tho your follies be few, they be mighty!!!! That's such a great update!

    @Christiniv good! Keep us updated and FX for you!

    @lizg19 I am so sorry, I was really hoping you would get your BFP this cycle. I agree with @mclorn , most re offices are leanings ward FET, a lot of the OCt/nov group didn't have an option for fresh. I know this doesn't stop the hurt and disappointment you are feeling. We are with you girl. Hugs and please keep us updated on when you decide to embark on your FET.

    All- still waiting on my 2nd beta results! Will post as soon as I have them. Hoping for good news.

  • thank you very much ladies @shatlatrice @LCK0830 @mclorn
    you support means alot.
    we will be waiting for AF to come and we will star the FET cycle. 
    I read positive articles and stories about FET so we hope this works for us because we only have one snowflake 
    and unfortunately we cannot afford another round of IVF.

    again Thank you ladies 
    and wish you all of you lots of luck and more BFP
  • I asked my nurse if we could push up the date of my beta (10/19).  No dice.  I'm tossing around the idea of taking a HPT.  If I did get a positive, would I be able to tell if it was a CP?

  • @HBamama2B Awesome numbers!!! I feel you! I go in weekly and next week is my last before "graduation". I live waiting on my lab results...still waiting for today's. Idk how I'm gonna go from being watched closely to once a month. And the thought of dropping meds...it all freaks me out. You get so used to being poked and prodded...
  • HBamama2B Oh yeah... keep climbing BETA!!!  And thanks for rooting us on... it's good to have a graduate sending them good BFP vibes our way!

  • you are so sweet @HBamama2b  thank you and GL to you too.
  • Thanks ladies! :x
  • @LCK0830 I was wondering about the CP too? From what I read it just seems like it's a positive pregnancy test before you get a period. So I wonder, is this only a threat up until when your period would be due? For example I'm 16 days post egg retrieval today so if we assume the egg retrieval is ovulation day I should have gotten my period 2 days ago. But is that not how it works for IVF girls? Also would progesterone keep my period away even if I wasn't pregnant?
  • @HBMama2B ti those are awesome numbers! I'm so nervous for my beta tomorrow!
  • @LCK0830 HPT could still show positive even if it turns into a chemical pregnancy.... honestly I would not add more of a roller coaster to the journey by testing early, but up to you.  Most likely though if it is positive then you are in very very good shape! 
    @runmeg91 Correct - I was told progesterone will keep off a period, but then I have heard of some women having break-through bleeding (even with BFP).  AF did not come for me for both BFN and BFP medicated cycles.  
    @HBamama2B  awesome #s!  When is your ultrasound then?!  I hope tomorrow will be my last blood draw before ultrasound then!  
    @athompson0830 us IVFers are so jaded.... so hard to imagine that some people don't even think or realize they are pregnant until like 8 weeks!  What would THAT be like?!

    @caitiemae .. I have regular bloodwork for progesterone and estrogen levels this Friday and then 10/19 would be the day of the blood work for the pregnancy test I believe. Doc told me 10 days so that will be Monday...
  • @runmeg91 the most definitive way to know if something is a CP is if there is a HCG level followed by a decrease. Blood tests usually catch this early which is why they do 2 or more betas over 2-3 days. If you had a HPT BFP and then tried again two days later and is was fainter or negative this could also indicate a CP. but don't think about this further tonight! Think of your beautiful little sticky bean and some high numbers for tomorrow! GL for you!!!

    @mclorn my 1st us is 10/22. Time for another loooong IF wait! When is yours tri buddy? :)
  • @Colleen0516 awwwwww. Beautiful and heartfelt! I'm so glad you found solice un thia group and I'm so happy you have found strenght to conquer ypur IVF cycle! I can not wait for your updates!

  • @HBMama2B great numbers! Thanks for the support, you are so sweet!

    @Colleen0516 your BFP is just around the corner! I agree that this group has helped me stay positive. It's so hard to talk to fertile friends who already have children. They do not understand our struggle.
  • @Colleen0516 you're amazing and so strong! Such a great reflection and revelation to have! Cheering you on all the way, girlfriend!! I have another hcg check tomorrow morning... Hopefully get the call to schedule an ultrasound for next week!

  • OOOps, sorry for all those typos!!  Thanks @ShayLatrice, @LCK0830 and @HBamama2b!  We are cautiously optimistic. 

    Beta number was pretty low at 69, but well within the normal range (so says my RE).  Another beta tomorrow to check it out.  Perhaps our little blast was closer to just beginning rather than ready to hatch and is just starting to get going.  It could be the reason my symptoms were nonexistent.  Who knows, just the paranoia that goes with the process I think.  Looking forward to another look at the numbers tomorrow!

    For posterity, I did finally POAS this morning -- happy to report it was a positive experience!
  • I'm sitting here waiting for that call from my Doctor's Office. They usually would've called by now, so  needless to say the lack of my phone ringing has made me suspect I'll have some bad news coming about my Embryos. I've already mentally prepared myself to hear the worst already so that I maintain my sanity in the event I do get bad news.

  • @ShayLatrice hold on to hope..... Maybe call at lunch time if no word... Some days I get called at 10am, others 6pm.... Just when I think I learn the pattern it changes!
    @jav5y2 62 is a solid #!  How many dpt?  Hopefully tomorrow you get closer to triple digits!
    I think the nerves never completely go away (at least not for a while)... I am nervous about my 3rd beta (for absolutely no reason).  Hard spending so much time getting burned!!!  @HBamama2B I want our u/s to come already!!

    I got a few super late calls and a few super early calls @shaylatrice  I don't think it means anything.  They're probably busier today than usual (maybe people were out of town for the holiday weekend) and haven't gotten around to their calls just yet.
