Not my first IVF rodeo

Hopeful_mom

mtpbadger I'm glad you have someone that you can count on for number 2!! Your RE sounds very optimistic so that's really exciting!  What did she want to see that she didn't?  She wants you to try an FET anyway so thats great news!! SO many can get pregnant doing whatever and we really try and think about how our stressful lives affect and plan around it...why I cancelled my last FET.

JamieH2000 hey lady its august just think you're one month closer

sleepyrn 27 wow, u got that moment on point, i totally did a double take.  Since you're going everyday that just means that you're almost ready to go.  The fact that you have double digits growing is awesome really hoping they plump up and become ready to go for you.  Its sucks when you have that one eager beaver out in front.  One cycle we triggered because of it and that fat bastard was empty OMG I cried and cried as then smaller one I had wasn't mature enough so its like I lost 2 of the 5.  Hopefully you get the go ahead to trigger!

AFM:  A quick recap...ever since my MC Im still searching for the WHAT HAPPENED!  my acupuncturist asked to see my blood work results from after.  She saw them and suggested I also get the NK cell text (natural killer cell) I asked my RE about she basically said thats immunology testing.  They dont do it and she doesn't think its necessary.  I keep pressing the issue and she recommends someone I can reach out to.  SO that bring me to my consultation with dr. braverman (immunology dr) today and i just have so many more questions.  He thinks i could have a silent endometriosis issue...which could be problematic.  Its all a guessing game BUT it would also mean to push everything back about 3 months.  The blood work alone takes 6 weeks to do.  i'm very torn AND also pissed that it took so long to get the appointment in the first place, 3 weeks ago I could've gotten the blood work done and still be on the path i'm at now UGH!!!!!  He can't do the blood work while I have all these meds in my system...I literally just starting stemming WTH!!!  You have to have faith in your RE and all my tests have shown no endo, but my mom has hashimotos which is an immune thing so he thinks i could be a carry of the gene which could be an issue...really.  That could be the reason for my MC, so its hard to not really look into it....ugh now even more to think about.  Lastly it'll cost me about another 6k and I might need a laparoscopy done...which also means more delay to a transfer.  He suggested I stop stemming as endo can hurt your egg quality BUT its my choice.  SO I can't say I'm feeling all that great today just trying to read and wrap my head around it.  Happy to hear your thoughts...whether your endo knowledgeable or not! 

Lastly remember my previous cycle that had 1 embabie that can back inconclusive with no DNA, I needed to know what I had so I had them dethaw and retest it.  TO my surprise and delight my lil fighter is a normie!  Hoping this will be my first child as it will be such a great story to tell all the drama just from day one!

@sleepyrn hey just wants to check in and see how things went??

AFM:  I got the call and it's trigger time y'all!!  I feel like its the world series and i'm being called to the plate...its hilarious.  This is it game 7...even though its cycle 8    I dont know if its the caffeine in the DECAF coffee from dunkin (i swear i think they switched it) but i just feel super anxious!  Today i had a different tech so i'm trying to not stress too much over the sizes that she measured.  E2 was 969 yesterday and just went up 100 to 1069 so since it hasn't gone up that much we believe its time to go so we dont lose any...which then means I dont get my RE for ER BUT i get the dr thats the head of the clinic so hoping he can be just as much of a good luck charm  I've got 21.5, 20, 19.5, 19, 16.5, 15.5, 12.5, 10.5, 9.5 soooo it seems like 2 have shrunk a lil and others have stayed the same so i'm really hoping that each follie will have a good mature egg ready to go!!!  I'm surprised i'm this nervous for it....but excited that its go time!!!
