I had my retrieval yesterday and they were able to get 6 eggs, so double what they got last time. This retrieval was a little tougher than my last one. I guess I started hemorrhaging during the retrieval and lost a lot of blood and my blood pressure dropped, so I had to be kept under anesthesia longer and get a few internal stitches. Luckily everything is fine but I don't do well with anesthesia so yesterday the recovery was rough. Lots of puking, trouble breathing and super sore abdomen.
still sore today but at least I can breathe! They just called and two fertilized again so we go back Monday for a fresh transfer!
@IfYouCanDreamIt I am so sorry. Please know we are all here for you if you need us!
@Aera11 that sounds like a tough retrieval! I Hope Monday goes much smoother for you!

@IfYouCanDreamIt I am so sorry. My heart is breaking for you I really thought this was that for you too. Hoping the doctors and have some answers for you! here for you always! Sending you big hugs
@Aera11 OMG!!! That sounds so scary and painful I'm so glad that you're doing better. I've never heard of so much bleeding during an ER. I came out of my ER with a swollen lip and I thought that was bad. Congrats on the six, now hoping those are your golden eggs.

Thank you @QsMadd & @hopeful_mom! My last one went quite a bit smoother so I think that's what I was expecting. Already feeling better and thankful for the two embryos going in Monday morning hopefully nothing happens between now and then
@IfYouCanDreamIt -I am so sorry to hear that news I wish you the best of luck in whatever you choose to do in the future. Definitely take a time-out and regroup/ rest.

@Aera11 yikes! That sounds terrifying (not that you were aware at the time, but still!) As an ER nurse it makes me nervous to think of someone having complications or even coding in a clinic setting with no crash cart or anything like that (dentist's offices are like this too). I'm glad everything was ok in the end!

@IfYouCanDreamIt I'm so sorry it didn't work out this time. This process can be so tough to deal with. A break and regroup may be a good idea. Let us know how the WTF meeting goes
Updates on me: my beta continued to go up 25--> 57-->118. But I've also continued to have bleeding and cramping. Earlier in the week it starting being more than just spotting and bright red. I was surprised that the beta continued to rise. My doc says that I don't need any more betas, but the low initial beta and the bleeding and cramping may be worrisome. I'm scheduled for an ultrasound this coming week to see what's going on.
I thought that all of the waiting and wondering was over. I'm hoping that everything is okay with the ultrasound and I can stop holding my breath.
clovelyone I realized when they say they're going to get back to you they have the best intentions but I'm always calling them first when it comes to results. Did you hear back from anyone today? How many did you have at ER? We always want to hope for the best and the most
AFM: I went in for BW to see if my levels to start estrogen priming but as I assumed they are not. So one more frostie is joining the party yay!! So I have one 5AB (reg fert) and two 5BB (icsi) I know I should be happy with 3, I'll be even happier when they all come back pgs normal
Question to the ladies that are batching//banking did your place offer any type of discount? When OH got the pricing he thought it was all included in one and not for each cycle...maxing out every credit card will not be fun.

SugarHead I missed your post as I was posting. Its great that your beta numbers are doubling as they should. How severe is your cramping that sounds very concerning!! I understand your worry, is the bleeding heavy more then a pad? There are people that do bleed and go on to have healthy pregnancys. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers for continued success!

Thank you @PoeMasque, I had no idea until DH told me when I woke up. Luckily, the fertility clinic I go to is attached to the hospital so I'm sure if anything bad should happen, I'd be taken over there. So far I'm better today and hoping none of that effected my ovaries long term.
@IfYouCanDreamIt So sorry to hear of your news. It sounds like a break is a good idea. Don't despair though. My sister in law went through IVF for many years before she had her twins. Sending you healing thoughts.
So much has happened over the weekend! i'll try to catch up on all the new posts tonight.
spoke to the nurse at my RE's office since i still haven't gotten the testing results back, and she said that she should know by wednesday, so yay! (hopefully!)

@Hopeful_mom - it does seem like most people have moved over to the april ivf/fet boards. i noticed on the april fet board that there are some that are already planning a may fet so i was thinking of starting a board for that...
So many different stories... Sorry for those who got their BFN, good luck for those who got good betas, and to those waiting on the embryo reports.
I think I'm going to take a summer break and then come back. We're planning to start FET prep in August, and hopefully transfer in early September. Taking summer off to travel and relax a little - DH is very optimistic, so he wants to enjoy our last free summer.
I did SIS test today, as my old one was out of date and they needed newer results before FET. The process sucked - really hurts when they pump the liquid in, but it was pretty quick, and the results: one good looking uterus of normal size and shape with nothing extra that shouldn't be there - woo-hoo! I might have to re-do some blood-work if my transfer is after Sept 9th, but I'll deal with it when I'm back from vacation, and hopefully can complete the process before then.
Good luck to everyone in this baby process!

I know most people have moved on to the newer boards, but i wanted to come back and say that we finally got our results...2 (of 4) came back normal! yay!!!
caseyw8784 congrats, happy for you! Are you planning to do FET this month?
AFM we've got the WTF meeting with RE scheduled for Thursday. Not planning to do another IVF until end of June so will see what we can do meanwhile to possibly improve the results, I don't know if I can handle another cycle with such poor numbers... Well that's for me for now and I see this board is getting quiet so again best of luck to everyone and maybe I see some of you on other boards xxx
@IfYouCanDreamIt - we're hoping to meet with my RE in the next week or so, so we will be able to start the estrogen patches/pills when AF arrives in a couple weeks. Transfer day will most likely be mid May, hopefully! Good luck at your meeting tomorrow and hope you'll have a more successful cycle next time!
@caseyw8784- just lurking and had to say congrats! I know we were on boards together last fall and I'm so happy you are so close to transfer after everything you have been through!!
@ifyoucandreamit- also wanted to say sorry for the BFN.. i know how hard this is and I hope your RE has some ideas! Maybe we will be cycling together again next time you try!

@IfYouCanDreamIt thinking of you often girl, hoping they can have some answers. Please keep me updated. Looking forward to being bump buddies
@caseyw8784 Awesome news, CONGRATS! So if your results wouldve come back a day sooner would you have been able to transfer this cycle. I'm hoping I'll be doing a May FET at the latest fx crossed!!!
cmiller73 - so here's a question what do you end up calling the next stem cycle? It is another round of IVF, or is it IVF #4 round 2? I feel like we need a banking transfer thread, that was a mouth full!
FuzzyDust Glad your uterus is perfect and ready to go as it should be! Sounds like you have a lovely summer planned, enjoy!!
AFM: I did get the ok to start my patch tomorrow so I guess I will start priming even though I do think AF is around the corner so not sure how much priming is needed but hoping its enough...now lets see if my baseline agrees when AF arrives...

@Hopeful_mom I still think it is IVF. thats the fertilization part which we are still doing after egg retrieval so Im calling this IVF#2. If we then test out a few normals I would go into FET#1. Yes, it is totally confusing hahaha
AFM - Doc called and I guess I O'd and the damn OPK missed it! Levels were there and so since they can't tell when I actually ovulated, they are starting me on my priming meds (climara patch and Cetrotide) tonight/tomorrow. Here we go! Now just to deal with the crazy timing b.s. in late april since my DH has a business trip he can't move.
cmiller73 yea i just cant believe then I'm up to ivf#5 thats just coo coo to me! I hope i can follow suit get some normals and do FET #1 too Your clinic doesn't have you come in for bw so u dont miss it? i'm sure a day or 2 won't make that much of a difference. Us old ladies r still in it together haha!! Maybe that should be the new thread ha!!
AFM I started my patch today but I dont think i'm going to get the full week of priming i did before AF like i did for the previous cycle so that makes me a bit nervous for sure!!

@Hopeful_mom My Doc just has you test with OPKs daily after CD10 then call with the surge. That is what happened for me last time (normally like clockwork on CD14, good ol' girls down there!) but this time was weird after ER.
Ill probably move over to the Apr IVF board now that I have started meds and retrieval will be at the end of this month. Woo hoo for needles again hahah
@IfYouCanDreamIt - sorry to hear about your results, this process is so difficult. I got the news that both embryos sent for PGS were abnormal over two weeks ago and I am still trying to process that we have nothing to transfer. Take your time and make the decision that best works for your family.

@STO210 I'm so sorry that your testing came back abnormal. FX, that you keep your head up and have a successful cycle when you are ready.
@Hopeful_mom I forgot to let you know that we had two embryos frozen and two transferred.

Re: March IVF
thank you @clovelyone!
I had my retrieval yesterday and they were able to get 6 eggs, so double what they got last time. This retrieval was a little tougher than my last one. I guess I started hemorrhaging during the retrieval and lost a lot of blood and my blood pressure dropped, so I had to be kept under anesthesia longer and get a few internal stitches. Luckily everything is fine but I don't do well with anesthesia so yesterday the recovery was rough. Lots of puking, trouble breathing and super sore abdomen.
still sore today but at least I can breathe! They just called and two fertilized again so we go back Monday for a fresh transfer!
@Aera11 that sounds like a tough retrieval! I Hope Monday goes much smoother for you!

Question to the ladies that are batching//banking did your place offer any type of discount? When OH got the pricing he thought it was all included in one and not for each cycle...maxing out every credit card will not be fun.

I think I'm going to take a summer break and then come back.
We're planning to start FET prep in August, and hopefully transfer in early September. Taking summer off to travel and relax a little - DH is very optimistic, so he wants to enjoy our last free summer.
I did SIS test today, as my old one was out of date and they needed newer results before FET. The process sucked - really hurts when they pump the liquid in, but it was pretty quick, and the results: one good looking uterus of normal size and shape with nothing extra that shouldn't be there - woo-hoo!
Good luck to everyone in this baby process!
My story in signature spoiler. Children mentioned.
I don't produce FSH, so no natural menstrual cycle. DH has reduced morphology.

AFM we've got the WTF meeting with RE scheduled for Thursday. Not planning to do another IVF until end of June so will see what we can do meanwhile to possibly improve the results, I don't know if I can handle another cycle with such poor numbers... Well that's for me for now and I see this board is getting quiet so again best of luck to everyone and maybe I see some of you on other boards xxx

@IfYouCanDreamIt thinking of you often girl, hoping they can have some answers. Please keep me updated. Looking forward to being bump buddies
@caseyw8784 Awesome news, CONGRATS! So if your results wouldve come back a day sooner would you have been able to transfer this cycle. I'm hoping I'll be doing a May FET at the latest fx crossed!!!
cmiller73 - so here's a question what do you end up calling the next stem cycle? It is another round of IVF, or is it IVF #4 round 2? I feel like we need a banking transfer thread, that was a mouth full!
FuzzyDust Glad your uterus is perfect and ready to go as it should be! Sounds like you have a lovely summer planned, enjoy!!
AFM: I did get the ok to start my patch tomorrow so I guess I will start priming even though I do think AF is around the corner so not sure how much priming is needed but hoping its enough...now lets see if my baseline agrees when AF arrives...

Your clinic doesn't have you come in for bw so u dont miss it? i'm sure a day or 2 won't make that much of a difference. Us old ladies r still in it together haha!! Maybe that should be the new thread ha!!
AFM I started my patch today but I dont think i'm going to get the full week of priming i did before AF like i did for the previous cycle so that makes me a bit nervous for sure!!
