    @ultratomato I am sorry again for that, I have cried at work few times and I know how it feels like. I do not know if it is any comfort, but I keep telling myself now that `even though something happens to this embryo, I know that my egg and DH sperm can mate and make an embryo`. It should be an important thing for IVF right ? I know I do not have much to say to comfort you.
    It is very important that you have a plan to go with IVF and you know that you have much much higher chances with that. Try to enjoy your time before your treatments start, maybe with a short get away with DH. Hugs to you. Best of luck !!

    Thanks ladies trying to stay positive and looking towards better odds good luck everyone else

    I'm so sorry to hear @ultratomato, it is so hard when we loose one of our embryo's, its something that never gets any easier.
    Never feel bad about crying, as this is an emotion that has to leave the body too. Even if it is in front of 'strangers'.

    Wishing you GL on your next journey.

    I am pretty sure I'm out. Tested twice and both BFN and have strong AF cramps today. This was only my first IUI but I am not sure I am going to do it again. After the ovidrel trigger I woke up the next morning with a fever and have had fevers on and off since then (almost 2 weeks now). It got so bad that DH had to take me to the ER one night because it was so high and nothing was working. My RE says she doesn't think it is related to the ovidrel but I have a feeling it is the hormones that are making my lupus flare which are causing the fevers. I don't know what to do. I really want to keep going with treatments but I can't keep getting sick. I missed 4 days of work last week and I obviously can't do that again. I just don't know what my other options are since IUI and IVF both require meds and injections (esp IVF). Sorry for the dear diary post.. just feeling overwhelmed today.

    @laurenlalap wow it s awesome , i am so happy for you!!! Congrats !!!  Ps: i do not have any symptoms either except AF like cramps and tender boobs, so nothing different than pre-af.
  • Options
    @teamginger13 i am sorry that you got sick during your iui cycle. Have you talked to your rheuomotologist about your treatments and see if really ovidrel could cause that? As far as i know , ovidrel should be only HCG hormone which you will have in your system when you get pregnant. Pregnancy shouldnot make your Lupus worse, right? My cousin has lupus and she had a very healthy pregnancy. I hope it s just too early and you get your bfp soon. Best of luck to you!!
  • Options

    @ZoeFer I haven't talked to my rheum yet because she was against the fertility treatments from the beginning. She told me that if the lupus wasn't in remission then pregnancy could make it worse but I honestly didn't believe her. So maybe she was right...sigh. That is awesome for your cousin though. From what I have heard and read, if you are in remission you can have a perfectly normal pregnancy and birth. I am just way too impatient to wait that long but looks like I may have to. Congrats on your BFP btw. Super exciting!!

    I understand @teamginger13, I definitely know about feeling impatient for getting pregnant. Could you get a second opinion from another rheumotologists who might not be too against the treatments and help you to get pregnant with some treatments?
    I hope you find your way and have your healthy BFP so soon. Hugs ! And thank you very muchfor your good wishes !
