April FET

Rachel_leigh22

@JuliaGoolia719 I agree! I barely feel the shots, I've done 3 so far and can now feel where they were given....it's just like u said, sort of sore and tender feeling. I'm doing 1ml in the morning and at night and haven't been told that I will be increasing my dosage...how many ml are you injecting and how many are you upping it to? Also my transfer is scheduled for 11:30am Monday did you get your time?

@Knottie34543584 yeah I was also tempted to test after hearing the good news for stbollinger i did poas today it came back positive im excited but still kind of unsure because I know its early but I will wait to see what they tell me on sunday from the bloodwork to believe it.
I wish you some baby dust it is still early so give it time and im sure youll have a positive poas

JuliaGoolia719

@Rachel_leigh22 I was doing 1cc (50mg) in the morning, as of this morning it goes to 2cc's (100 mg). 
They don't give me a time until the day of, the nurse said they'd call as soon as we know if the embryo made it through the thaw and tell me when to take the happy pill/be at the office. She said that they usually do the transfers around 10/11 am. 
Its so close, I feel like I'm coming out of my skin, if I'm this jumpy before transfer I can't imagine the wait after (and with no wine!). 
My clinic tests on day 8 after transfer so at least it's not a full TWW....

@lamaricelita88 Wow congratulations!!!!!!! What wonderful news!!!! Is this your first bfp? How many dpo were you when you got your positive? thanks so much, I think I will be ok either way. I have checked out that site numerous times it's great isn't it!!!

TGIF! I had my lining check today and everything looked good. Lining was already a little over 8 and estradiol was over 100. They are pushing back my protocol for a week though to insure the right levels of both. So, as it stands today, I will be having my transfer on May 1. A little frustrated at the date change, but trust they have reasons for their decision and know it's still right around the corner.

lamaricelita88 - um, CONGRATULATIONS! That's great news!

lamaricelita88

@Knottie34543584 Yeah its first bfp i tested 7dpt5dt i was planning on not doing it till friday o sat. But got anxious.I will pray for you so we can get the good news next week on youre poas .☺ Have a great weekend
@fivetimesnoluck Thank you☺

JuliaGoolia719

fivetimesnoluck a week push back isn't (too) bad, FX that your levels get where they want them and you're good for May 1 transfer! 

stbollinger

@lamaricelita88 I took my test in the morning first thing after waking up! By the next day it was positive in the afternoon with a 2hr hold! 
Progesterone shots ughhh but I think I dislike suppositories more! I have a blog with tips for the shots and my IVF journey at ivfandobtravels.wordpress.com if any of you have blogs or instagrams let me know!

JuliaGoolia719

@stbollinger I thought about switching to the suppository if we get a positive test so DH doesnt have to give me shots for the next 3 months, why do you dislike the suppositories more than the shots?

JuliaGoolia719

@Rachel_leigh22 today's the day! Good luck!!!
(My time is 11:30 am too!) 
The instructions I got tell me to be pretty much inactive for the rest of today, no errands or lifting etc....we had planned on going to the movies after so we'll see how the happy pill mskes me feel lol.  

thucks

GL today @Rachel_leigh22 and @JuliaGoolia719. Have a relaxing day today I hope all goes well. 
AFM- I just got to work from my BW and US I'm sooo excited about the visit. I don't have the test results back by my lining was a triple band and at 12mm. I usually can't get past a 7 so this is very exciting for me. Maybe it was the surgery or pomegranate and raspberry leaf tea or a combo of the 2 either way I'm very happy today. 

fivetimesnoluck

Good luck, @JuliaGoolia719 and @Rachel_leigh22 !!

Rachel_leigh22

@JuliaGoolia719 wow! Same time too! That's awesome...good luck! I'm currently drinking my 48oz of water lol I'm planning on coming straight home and I have a bunch of movies for me and my husband to watch...lunches and dinners for the week already made so now my job is to just chill


@thucks thank you! And that's very good news for you, congrats! 

lamaricelita88

@JuliaGoolia719 @Rachel_leigh22 Good Luck today rest and have some yummy hot foods girls wishing you much baby dust

Aera11

Good luck today @JuliaGoolia719 & @Rachel_leigh22!!!

JuliaGoolia719

@thucks thank you and thats fantastic news on the lining!!
@fivetimesnoluck@lamaricelita88 @Aera11 thank you all!

I take the valium in 3 minutes and I'm drinking my water now, its almost here!

Rachel_leigh22

Thank you everyone!!! I'm doing good, on my way home, don't feel the Valium at all! Got some great pics though! A pic of my blastocyst and it's already hatching! Also a pic of the little guy/girl inside my uterus! So cool! I go back the 28th for results 

thucks

@Rachel_leigh22 I thought I was the only one who doesn't feel the valium. But I do tend to sleep the afternoon away and I wouldn't normally do that. That's awesome that you got a pic of the blast my RE isn't equipped to do that
 

JuliaGoolia719

@Rachel_leigh22 and @thucks I didn't really feel the valium either!  I feel a little tired now but not "loopy" like I kind of expected to feel. I actually feel it more now than I did while we were there for the transfer.  I'm home and back to work (I'm just answering phone calls and working on my computer so not active/stressful etc).

here're the pictures we got from the RE (is it ok to post these? I can take it off if its not.....)

Rachel_leigh22

@thucks @JuliaGoolia719 yeah the girl before me was sooo loopy when she left I was thinking to myself holy crap I hope I can hold it together more than that lol but I didn't feel a thing...I'll try to post a pic too! And if it's not allowed I'll take it down no problem 

thucks

I love the pics ladies I have no problems with them being posted. @Rachel_leigh22 yeah I've seen girls like that too. I never get loopy just tied and several hours later. 

Rachel_leigh22

@JuliaGoolia719 yours is also hatching! Nice! Looks good 

JuliaGoolia719

Rachel_leigh22  I was hoping that's what that meant!

saraeliz

Hi all. I did a FET this month and had my transfer on April 3rd. My beta numbers have been really really low. I've been told it's most likely not viable. 

9dp5dt - 3.2
11dp5dt - 5.2
14dp5dt - 9.6

Anyone have any experience with this type of scenario? I have a 4th test in 2 days and my RE thinks this will tell us definitively which way it's going to go. 

JuliaGoolia719

saraeliz  hugs, this is my first round of IVF/FET so I can't really give any insight, but I wanted to say I hope you get answers soon. 

fivetimesnoluck

@saraeliz I am sorry for your uncertainty. Only your doctor can confirm, but it appears that it could be chemical. I hope that is not the case!

JuliaGoolia719

How is it possible for 2 days to go by SOOOOO SLLLLOOOWWWWLLLYYY? the waiting game is not one I play gracefully....

stbollinger

@JuliaGoolia719 the doctor wanted me to do the suppositories 4 times a day which would be hard working night shift but they also leak a lot so you have to wear pads all the time, and my lady bits found all that dried pill leaking uncomfortable

stbollinger

@lamaricelita88 congrats! @saraeliz sorry for the confusion I'll keep everything crossed that you little one will keep growing! 
Hope everyone else is doing well! I have my first ultrasound may 2nd my second beta was 954.

JuliaGoolia719

stbollinger  congrats on the beta #'s!! 

thucks

Great Beta @stbollinger Congrats!!!

Rachel_leigh22

@stbollinger wow that sounds great! Congrats! 
AFM this has been the longest 3 days of my life lol are any of you going to do hpt's before your blood tests?? I'm torn...I definitely wouldn't before 7dp5dt but idk if I want to know anything before the blood results...

saraeliz

The result today was 86, so they are having me stop the meds. I'm glad the roller-coaster is over and I can move on.

thucks

@saraeliz They are saying it's not a viable pregnancy??? 

krenee124

Good luck to you ladies - I am out this month uterine lining is too thin and have been on estrogen for too long at this point. I am starting Provera tonight and taking for 7 days. Should induce a period and will figure out where we go from here by next Wednesday! Keep us all update, moving over to May FET but may even be early June.

thucks

@krenee124 I'm so sorry to hear this. Good luck to you in May and June.

JuliaGoolia719

krenee124 I'm so sorry! good luck with the next cycle

Rachel_leigh22

Feeling cramps today guys  I'm scared now....cramps exactly like when my period is coming 

JuliaGoolia719

Rachel_leigh22  don't read too far into anything right now, just keep relaxed and wait for your beta!  The doses of hormones we're on right now can do weird things, my boobs have hurt since a few days before the transfer, every time I've had a cramp, twinge, notice a smell that DH can't smell I start to symptom spot and its driving me batty. 

fivetimesnoluck

@saraeliz I am sorry for your loss. It sucks.

@krenee124 I am sorry for the delay, but I will see you in the May FET board. I got bumped to May 1.

I am keeping everyone else in my thoughts! Wishing you each that magical BFP!
