  • @hopeful_mon glad I work from home. Every step hurts. I just went to pick up my antibiotics prescription and walking wasn't fun!

    I'm going to be on antibiotics for 2 weeks... so my trip to Italy came at the best time as I won't be able to start with the prep for the next FET until I'm done with the antibiotics!

  • So remember I've been having the heart palpitations? So I just had an appt with a cardiologist and he wants to give me one of those patches that monitor your heart for 2 weeks. We decided that I go to get this device the day before I start with the patches. (I feel like it happens more with the patches)

    anyway, of course those patches are out of network. So if I self pay that's about $400. Ever since I started ivf all these bills keep piling. What's another $400. Lol

  • So excited for you both to do FETs this summer!!!!

    @Prudence9 -glad your surgery went well, and sorry it's been making you feel crappy.  I remember feeling a weird feeling like my uterus was hollow/ raw.  I'm sure it was since everything was scraped out!  Luckily, the pain didn't last too long.  Have soooo much fun in Italy!!  You deserve it!!!  When is your trip??

    @hopeful_mom -omg yes, sex is really not a strength during any IVF stuff.  It caused some definite tension between me and DH.  Also, I couldn't have sex once pregnant until 12 weeks just as a pre-caution.  It was iffy before that too with the hormones, etc.  Of course, I made him wait more than 12 weeks cuz I'm paranoid.  I'm trying to make up for it now, but I don't want to too much because I still worry.  Never.ending.worry.
    Me: 33, DH: 40
    July 2016: IVF #1 (froze embryos)
    Aug. 2016: Hysteroscopy to remove a few polyps & Laparoscopy
    Oct. 2016: FET #1 BFN
    Nov. 2016: FET #2 BFP (ended in CP)
    March 2017: IVF #2 Fresh Transfer of 2 Blasts = BFP!!! (EDD: 11/27/17)
    Froze 5 Blasts
    DS born on 11/2/17!!!  
    Back to try for Baby #2 :)


  • @Prudence9 - how are you feeling?

    @LoveDontCostAThing the worrying will never stop for sure!!  I know OH wont touch me after transfer - he didn't the first time and double wont now.  I even tried to do research on climaxing vs not if thats the harmful, so many conflicting things.  And then you have other pregnant woman out there running races at 8months its just crazy how each body is different.  I know that I need to be careful and I was so that makes it even more terrifying!!

  • Prudence9 I haven't stopped all day and you should be well on your way to Italy, have a FABULOUS time!!  You so deserve this trip, hope you're feeling good!!

    AFM:  Yes AF finally came and I have to say I was like ok, I'm hoping to not see you in a good year after today please :)  Waiting to here back from the nurses to get exact dates eeeekkkkk.  I think they said it can be as soon as July 14...which still is a bit to go but soon enough too :)   RE is not down with the immunology testing at all and gave me another RE to consult with...not thrilling as who really has the time for that?  Rather she just send me to a lab  s  Its so hard to have trust in this process!  And you have to believe the dr knows best BUT do they!  I'm the one they're experimenting with.  UGH shouldve looked into this sooner as who knows how long the actual results could take and I certainly dont want to wait any longer in this already marathon process!!!!
    I have started estrace and my insurance doesn't cover PIO for me, so more OOP for me.
    Today I finally did something for me and actually got to feel like a kid again seeing New Kids On The Block perform.  Yes my OH could not stop making fun of me, but it was still fun.  Originally I was suppose to be preggers and not be able to go, but once I got over that I really did have a great time.  Amazing how they all look and move!  Great performers they are!!

  • @Hopeful_mom glad that AF came and that you started with the prep for the FET!!! And that's great that you got to see them in concert! Also my trip to Italy wouldn't have happened if I had the transfer on the week of June 12th... so I guess we make the best of our situations ;)

    do you know how much PIO cost OOP? Because that I think for me it was one of the cheapest ones when paid by the insurance! So maybe OOP won't be too much. 

    All these costs are just getting piled!  :s

  • TW - My update SUX!!  And I dont want to ruin your good time...so read at your own risk!  And have lots of drinks for me ;)


     Hi ladies been a rough day for me!  PGS Results came back and they straight up suck!  2 out of the 3 embryos are abnormal and the 3rd had no DNA...meaning theres an error and need to retest it, IF I want to.  I have to dethaw the embryo and do the process and cost again.  AND have to hope the egg survives all of it.  You wanna talk about feeling so discouraged, today would be that day!  How do 3 "perfect looking" embabies come back bad.
    Yes I know I have normies waiting, but do I, cause science is always right.  Have I been crying all day and a basket case, yup!  Does OH not want me to transfer and come back to myself, yep!  Can I argue with him, I dont know.  Right now I want to do nothing, I feel like this is never going to work.
    I feel bad having these thoughts when we're all going through different struggles, to get to transfer etc.  Being all out of pocket and being able to put a price tag on your unhappiness to boot really sux!
    If I was younger I would take a break but I'm not so what do you do.  Today I'm mad that I have to still be in this process.  I'm pissed even more with my MC today.  I had everything I wanted and lost it, how do you move past that.

  • @hopeful_mom I'm so sorry to hear that!!!! I don't know what I can say to make you feel better  :(

    but like you said, you do have 4 normal embryos! 

    I know what you mean about feeling this is never going to work. Not knowing the cause of my m/c I feel like I'm going to have another transfer, just so another m/c will happen... 

    this entire process is so tough. Emotionally and physically. (And of course financially   :| )

    sending you internet hugs

  • @LoveDontCostAThing was thinking about you have you gotten all your results back?  US coming up??  How is everything?  I'm trying but this process is truly torture and the fact that you have to keep going through the process of trial and error kind of makes it that much worse.  I'm still taking the medication for the FET but I haven't decided if i'm going to go through with it yet or not.  Can you believe in another 8 days you will be 1/2 way there...its very exciting!!!

    @Prudence9 -hope you're relaxing and drinking lots of wine even on the meds ;) and enjoying ur time with friends!

  • @hopeful_mom -yes, I truly feel for you.  The trial and error process blows.  I'm sorry for all you are going through.  Will you retest the one embryo?  I lurk on some of the boards, and I see how positive and hopeful you remain for others, which is such a testament to your own strength <3.  Why might you not go through with the FET???  This is what you've wanted to make it to!!!  Remember, you didn't want to take breaks and you said that every month counts!  Just reminding you :)

    AFM, I got all my results back, and everything was normal :)  Heard the heartbeat on Thursday at 150 bpm.  No, I can't believe I am almost half way there!  At my halfway mark on July 10th I have my anatomy scan!  If the baby is in the right position then we will find out the sex!  I am now stressed because we were hoping to move soon, but it's looking like we might have to wait until maybe spring :(  I know it's not the end of the world, but our house is just too small.  I own a duplex, and we live downstairs.  It isn't ideal at all for us, baby, and two dogs, but I will have to make it work.  So, I am in the process of getting rid of stuff, organizing, etc.  It was going to be stressful to move prior to baby anyway.  We might still try to see if we can, but I'm thinking we'll wait.

  • Prudence9 welcome home!  glad you had a fun time you certainly deserve it!!  Now you are one step closer woohoo!!!

    @LoveDontCostAThing  so thrilled to hear all is good in the hood as i knew it would be ;)  My FET is suppose to be the week of the 10th so its a big week.  You are very funny I'm not wasting a month yet why i'm still taking the estrace ;)  I still didn't do the immunology testing for the NK Cell test.  And its 3k for that and take about 6weeks IF there is a problem that can cause a MC.  Just dont love some of the things my RE recommended here in the city.  I hate that this is such a business!!!  I'm terrified to have another MC so thats part of the reason i'm waiting.  I also was really hoping this last cycle was going to give me my extra one or two to feel comfortable moving on to the next process.  I'm thrilled I even have a normie to transfer but I remember I also MC a normie so that freaks me out too...and the fact that I made it to the 10wk and still have no answers it just sux.  Many on here do one cycle get a bunch of normies back both sexes and move on....WTH!!  I didn't mind doing all the cycles I talked it into myself so I was prepared but to not get both genders out of the deal is killing me on top of this last cycle going how it did.  I know it sounds silly I wanted to go out on a positive note with IVF and now I dont feel that way.  I am testing the other embryo now as I need to know what I'm dealing with period.  Annoyed they still haven't sent out the sample.  AND every month does count and the fact is it's now or never for my normies according to my RE and her damn stats.  Doing the FET and having a MC lets say that takes Months away instead of just a break of a month.  Its very hard and i'm so uncertain of it all still!  We shall see what my RE will say.  Of course I missed her call today....she called me blocked, might be nice to know she was going to call.  I get it, i'm sure shes scared I'd call her "real" number if i had it ;)  You can tell how undecided I am especially as I am still taking the estrace for an FET.
    As for you moving its so hard but try not to stress about it.  Have you been looking?  Is there a bigger duplex available or you want out?

  • @Hopeful_mom oh wow! You might still have the FET next week???  :o I totally know what you mean about being terrified as you don't know the cause of your m/c. It's the same for me. And like you said m/c does postpone everything by so much. On march 7th I was told this would not be a viable pregnancy. And if all goes well my next transfer will be the week of August 7th!!! So I was benched for 5 months!!! Ahhh. And I still don't know why I m/c a normal embryo!

  • @hopeful_mom -I totally see why you are nervous, but I am sure we could google 100 more tests that any of us could have.  At some point, I think you need to bite the bullet and try again because MAYBE it will be a GREAT outcome.  You are so positive for others, so I will be positive for YOU. :)  I was a little confused--did you say that all of your normies are the same gender??  I must have missed that!  If so, what gender?  Are you thinking of postponing in order to take the immune and NK cell tests?  If you do, will it only postpone a month?  Or are you planning to do another cycle for more eggs?  I know there are so many choices, and you're feeling between a rock and a hard place due to your age.  I know that it must be SO SCARY and exciting to try again after what you went through, but you can do it!  What about trying another transfer next week, and if god forbid it doesn't work out, then get tested for immune and NK?  Even those tests are expensive--man, nothing is cheap in this business.  I know you want to make sure, but like I said, there are probably even more tests out there that any of us could find.  It's all so scary.  I hope I'm not sounding pushy/ harsh!  I am just eager for you to try again, as you have been on such a long journey.  What does OH think?  You will be afraid of m/c NO MATTER WHAT.  I was afraid every single day during my first trimester, and quite frankly, I still am afraid sometimes.  And if not afraid of that, I am afraid that I hardly feel movement or if the heartbeat is okay or if the baby is okay in general.  The point is that we will always be afraid--especially since it took us more work than the average woman to get to where we are.  Mothers who get pregnant naturally are scared also.  We are all scared, but I am rooting for you...and of course @Prudence9 too!  (like my rhyme? lol)

    Ohh, and about the move--it's a long story, but we just can't move at the moment, so I am trying to do the best for now and not get overly stressed.  It's not perfect, but baby will have a room and we will just all be in close quarters (me, husband, and two hyper, adorable, not small fur babies!) :wink:

  • @hopeful_mom -omg I just thought of something important.  When I did my first FET I don't think I knew to ask how many embryos they were taking out of freeze!  They like to take out more than they need since they might not all survive the thaw.  Anyway, the second FET I did I think they took the rest out?  I can't remember exactly, but then I think they said the leftover weren't worth refreezing.  Then, a dr. told me later that sometimes they say that because it's easier to get rid of than refreeze (he didn't use those terms, but that's the gist I got.)  This may not apply to you because you have tested embryos, and I did not, but I wanted to make sure that you tell them to NOT take out extra in case they try not to refreeze or ask the embryologist lots of questions to ensure none of your precious normies are wasted.  I would suggest only taking out what you are planning to transfer.  @Prudence9 -this may apply to you too.  I'm sure every clinic is different, but wanted to throw it out there!!

  • @LoveDontCostAThing wow! I always assumed they just take out of freeze what they need. And if something is wrong take another one... I'll have to double check!

    since I was on antibiotics for so long (2 weeks) ppl were telling me I should get probiotics. So I got some yesterday and took last night. Didn't ask at the clinic, but it should be ok, right? I'm on the second day of Lupron. I hate this injection so much! Hopefully that's the last I will ever need it!

    @LoveDontCostAThing  first great info on the thawing process!  I believe they do that if you have many to spare BUT I think with the few i have and it being pgs it should just be one at a time! I love your positivity, and appreciate the cheerleading I do need it.  I've just been such a mess over this for SO MANY reasons already.  yes I did say they are all the same gender which I'm sure many are judging me for, but whatever thats ok.  I went from just making pink to ending up getting all boy normies.  Growing up all I wanted was a boy first just like my mom, and then I became pregnant with a girl and knowing for sure that was first up its hard to give up on that dream altogether.  I guess I always took for granted I would have a girl and I think I was carrying 2 of them so for that to just never happen is hard for me to except.  Not that I really have a choice and feel like g-d is testing me and punishing me all at the same time but whatever on that.  The immunology has been driving me nuts for sure and that was one of the many reasons i was thinking of postponing.  I've looked in to a few places and even though the test I would like is about $900 the dr wont just run them with out a consultation and EVERYTHING else with it, even though I explained i'm not interested in leaving my clinic and all of that.  I was even trying to find a dr that could work with them to order the testing but haven't fond that either.  The coast is from 3-5k about and that doesn't include some of the traveling expenses that go with it as they're all not based in NY.  The DR in NY I got some feedback on from lovely ladies here and I get why they weren't super positive.  IF is a business as much as i hate to admit that my OH is right when he says it.  But they say you pay 3k and if you're result come back ok they give you 2k back great - however they run so many tests like you mentioned they are bound to find something.  I've been taking all of this with a grain of salt and was listening to my RE that I needed to have some faith in the process too its just so freaking scary to do so!!  Am I eager to really try again ABSOLUTELY.  Am i scared as hell 100%.  DO I cry knowing i wont be pregnant by my due date YEP!  Its killing me but I just feel like I dont have the choice anymore...

    AFM:  I know I've been driving you all nuts and myself on the what I should be doing.  This has been hard and I've been tormented on whether to do immunology testing and moving forward with my FET etc.  I did finally chat with my RE and went through various options.  Does she think I should transfer and feel fortunate to transfer - especially with my age, always love that reminder!  BUT she says yes.  However she also agreed that if I was planning to do another IVF cycle then now would be the time to do it as getting another normie after a pregnancy might be impossible.  I did have a lot of things to weigh out.  Including who would do my transfer.  According to my calendar its possible the transfer wouldve ended up on the day I have an event for work where I will be insane and on my feet running around all day.  I mentioned i'm a freelancer and work project to project.  So this project that got pushed back from last month to now is full steam ahead.   Which then changes my transfer day to over the weekend with a dr on call that I dont know...how am I suppose to feel comfortable with that.  SO I've stopped taking my estrace and will not do an FET next week as planned.  I've been waiting so long to do this and having just started a stressful job was just the icing on the cake that I just dont think its smart to do....have the worst headache all day   Man I rather be at my new kids concert right now!!  Work sux, IVF sux!  AND I think I will do another IVF cycle IF my body is up for it..will decide on that later too....I just never want to leave this place  D s   I do thank you ladies for all the advice, as that's all i've been doing is over thinking everything this last week.  I know you think i'm bonkers, but something is just telling me not to do it.  I've pushed my body month after month and knowing whats in store for me this coming week I think I"m just asking too much of myself.  I was taking the estrace for I think almost 2 weeks already so I was still in it, talking with RE and this job really put me over the edge for sure.  I hate that I need the $$$ to even pay for the transfer but thats the facts on that!!  Prudence9 hopefully this will mean I will be on the August FET train with you :)  who knows....

    And lastly YES 100% I said it from day one we will always worry from every second of every day in this process of motherhood, its unfortunate of everything we have gone through to get here, but everyday you just can't rest easy.  I tried to say to enjoy it and dont be nervous as the worst did happen to me BUT I know through this process we just can't help ourselves!!  Lets hope after the viable week we can start to enjoy being pregnant then ;)  Other then the nerves how are you feeling, any interesting cravings??

  • @Hopeful_mom I think that the worst is when I'm not sure what to do, once I make up my mind, I always feel a relief. So I hope you can have some relief now that you decided not to go with the FET next week. I know you've been on the fence in regards for that for some time now. And if you have crazy time at work now, that is not the time to do a transfer. Plus, you've been having all these back to back IVFs that maybe few weeks off is the best thing for your body!!!

    What is the immunology tests that you keep mentioning? Can you give me more info? Should I be doing that? After all, the reason for my m/c is still a mystery as well!!!! Is it for the NK cell?

    Would be great if we end up being cycle buddies

  • Prudence9 yes al of this back and forth is over the nk cell test!  My acupuncturist is the one who mentioned it not my RE so its annoying for sure!!  You would think I would feel relief but I feel sad.  I do have so much going on that I know it was the best decision regardless.  Now its back to the waiting game!  I certainly do hope to be cycle buddies!!

  • if i go for the testing its adding about another 3 months on the process and at least 5k - not sure I'm going to go that route right now.  My RE is completely against it and doesn't think its necessary and explained that I need to have some faith...SO I am leaning to try and have some of that.  I still think I would try for an FET before doing the testing.  Just wondering if I should try and FET will a quality that is fair then the perfect one...

  • @Hopeful_mom damn!!! 3 more month!!! That sucks!! I'm def not doing it before this FET then! 

    Are you planning to squeeze another IVF cycle? Or will you do FET next?

    im trying to have more faith. But going into another FET without knowing the reason of my m/c is tough.

  • Prudence9 this week will suck as i have so much work to do but maybe after that ;)  Just chatted with a friend who has gone through IVF and she thinks I should go for another opinion as she thinks I should have had way more healthy embryos great.  I"m like where was this advice cycles ago...not that I think shes necessarily right.  I find I'm doing very similar protocols to many that are on here.
