Re: May TWW

  • Went ahead and did my beta yesterday...BFN. I'm sad to say this is the end of my journey for a while. I had hoped it would have ended differently, but I guess there are other plans for me. Congratulations on those with BFP and good luck to those who are still waiting! Those who got BFNs this month I hope that next month will be the one for you! <3

    @fivetimesnoluck That's a great beta! FX for you!

    AFM - I'm out. Just got my beta back and it was 0.1 - BFN. My RE is suggesting only one more TI cycle. She wants to do a follow up visit with me during that cycle to discuss options for comes next after that. I already know from previous discussions that she's going to recommend IVF. I'm not sure how I feel about that though. DH and I are going to discuss if we want to go that route or not.

    Ladies doing IVF - can you describe the process (What meds, how much monitoring, how the transfer is done)? I think the biggest thing for me is I don't fully understand what is involved in IVF in order to make a good decision.

  • @katherind I don't know if this is what you are looking for, but I've been blogging about my first cycle for my family and friends and did a reasonably detailed general overview of the whole process in one post before getting down to my personal experience. Here's the direct link if it's helpful! https://infertilitytheotherendurancesport.wordpress.com/2017/04/13/what-ivf-means/#more-47

    1st cycle of IVF started April 9, 2017. ER- 15R, 7M, 5F, 4 frozen, 1 transferred. BFN

    May 2017- Hysteroscopy

    June-August 2017- 2nd attempt via FET. 2 Embryos transferred on 08/10/17. BFP, but ended in a chemical.

    November 2017- Hysteroscopy

    January 2018- 3rd attempt via FET. 2 Embryos transferred on 01/25/18. BOLD BFP on a HPT on 1/31, Beta # 1 on 2/5= 721. Beta # 2 on 2/7- 1903. 6wk+3 day scan revealed twins!

    I'm blogging about it here

  • @katherind - I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you find your answers and make the best choice for your family. GL

    BFN for me today too, hopefully we will be able to move forward with either another frozen embryo transfer (although we only have one more on ice), or into another fresh retrieval cycle, with a change in protocol.  I am really trying to stay positive this time and truly believe that this will work for us eventually, we just haven't found the perfect formula yet.  Good luck to everyone else this month!
  • I'm out this month. Will try again next month. I felt like my period was coming for over a week, so I didnt think it would be a positive, and at first it didnt bother me. But I ended up crying a little since my whole day was super crazy at work, it was just one thing too much today. Got a glass of wine, and DH is cooking dinner.
  • So sorry ladies! I got my BFN last weekend as well, so this week starting the whole cycle over. Indulge a little...you all deserve a little break xoxo

  • Sorry about the BFNs ladies. April wasn't a great month and it looks like May is being a witch too.

    I took a little break from the boards hoping to not get too anxious over this TWW. I'm 11dpiui but the previous two IUIs my LP was 17 days so I basically still have another week to wait. Haven't bought any tests and haven't had the urge to test, usually I crack at 9dpo, so I'm thinking this might be the first cycle where I can hold out until either AF or definite BFP.

  • @bethann1022 - Tough choice. You'll have to talk it through. There are so many pros and cons to consider. GL either way!

    I'm sorry for more of these BFNs.

    I have a question. I know this is my first cycle with you ladies but I've been trying since January 2016 and have seen an RE and on the third cycle with him. If this is my BFP cycle, would it be okay to tell everyone. I want to start a blog too for ladies who have felt like I have.

  • @tryingfor1st I think it would be wonderful if you got your BFP and told everyone. Even thought the BFN are no fun, its good to see positive things happening. Seeing people get their BFP gives me hope that it can and will happen :)

    @tryingfor1st I agree with @kristimh80 I love seeing people get BFPs. It gives me hope that it is possible and that this isn't all for nothing. 
  • Hi ladies! I'm joining this board as I just had my transfer today. This is my first transfer and I transferred one 5 day blast.
    I'm sorry to those of you who already had BFN's this cycle. IF is so tough and it takes a lot for us to pick ourselves up and move forward, whatever the next steps might be. Good luck to all of you.

    To those of you still in the 2WW, how are you keeping busy?

  • To the ladies experiencing the BFNs, I'm so sorry.. but keep your head up.  This is a tough battle we all face.. think positive, and we will get through this all together.

    @kaseycoco  Good luck!  Fingers crossed for you!


  • Hey Ladies. Sorry for all the BFNs and welcome to the TWW for the others. We have to keep the hope alive, even if this isn't your cycle, it just means you have another cycle to TTC and you're hopefully one step closer to your BFP. I've been trying since Jan. 2016 and with an RE for the last three cycles. Don't loose hope please!

    Beta came back today at 71iu/L. I'm worried because it was kind of low. I'm 13dpo and 14dpt. I have another beta scheduled for Monday so I'll see how it doubles. I'm trying to stay positive and plan to tell mom and sister tomorrow.

  • This weekend I had my sister in laws graduation party. I was doing fine until I found out that a mutual friend of ours sister who was there was pregnant (12 weeks) she's 22 and it was unplanned she's only been with her boyfriend for a few months. I did congratulate her even tho I was on the verge of tears. I then had to hear her complain about being pregnant that its awful and she's sick all the time and she doesn't know why anyone would like being pregnant. At that point i just got up and walked away crying. Then another one of her friends again another not planned showed up with thier three month old. Needless to say it was a very hard day emotionally and the fact its mothers day. 
  • @tryingfor1st FX everything on Monday goes well for you!


    Yes, I say we all try to stay positive for each other, no one knows better what we go thru daily, than the ladies on here :)


    @Labluver2 I'm so sorry you had to deal with that! Last night and last weekend we've had parties to attend. Last weekend people wouldn't stop talking about their kids. Last night wasn't as bad until you hear a young cousin say they were waiting awhile for kids "they could have them whenever they wanted to". I wanted to say...yeah that's what you think! I was sober because on meds so couldn't wait to rush home!

    @Labluver2 I'm sorry you had a hard time at the party. I also can't stand when people complain about being pregnant. I wish everyone knew what a blessing it is and how painful it is for those of us who struggle.

  • @kristimh80 I didnt drink last night either I get my beta Friday so no drinking for me. I'm 10dpiui today I woke up and felt like I was hung over and queasy. Of course I'm like is this morning sickness but its prob just nerves. 

    I decided to test Friday morning before my beta to kinda prepare me. They will call with the results at work so I decided to wait until I'm on my way home by myself in the car I couldn't face anyone if in comes back BFN a few of my coworkers know. 
  • @kaseycoco thank you. I know she didn't do it on purpose and she doesn't know that I'm struggling but it just struck a nerve. I'm more sensitive to things now. 
  • @Labluver2 Sending good vibes your way for a good end to the week!! I'm excited for you, you are due for a good month <3

  • @blackrose-3 @katherind @bethann1022@Heidiisboss and any others I have missed, I am so sorry. Big hugs for you and big prayers for your next steps.

    Yesterday was, well, for most of us, incredibly hard. I am still blessed to have spent it with dear friends who are aware of our journey.

    AFM, Beta #3 is still rising, but not doubling. We went from 32-40(2 days)-66 (4 days). RE suggested stopping progesterone, but after talking with DH, we are going to hold out until Wednesday and continue praying for a miracle.

    If we're out after this, it will be time to re-evaluate what life will look like moving forward as we'll be at the end of our journey. I so hope that isn't the case and that this little bean is just the little engine that could.

    For all of you still waiting, I have great hope for you! <3

    @Labluver2. My doc told me that it should be negative at 12dpiui. This way she knows that the meds are out of my system. However, I totally know that gut feeling. I had it last cycle too. My DH tried to stay positive and deny period symptoms, but we tend to know our bodies. FX that your body is just playing tricks on you.
