@Malibu45 that's my girl!! Poas!!!! @ReesaAnne16 it's funny... true ms can begin (though usually more mild) pretty early. Many girls start noticing for sure between week 5 and 6. But along with the progesterone you're taking, once you start being at a certain level of hcg, you can start feeling yucky. Again, it can also be in part due to the progesterone, but the yuckier you feel, the better! Lol @BusinessWife I've only ever done planned freeze Alls and always got Day 3 and 5 updates. I think it may just be your clinics policies?
Thanks everyone for the kind words! @Malibu45 I'm willing to bet money that you're pregnant! Cramps are a real good sign. Most of the girls in my FB group who got their positives had cramping. I didn't have any so that's how I knew I was out. @BusinessWife Thursday will be here before you know it. Once they told me how many fertilized, I asked them not to call until day 5 lol. Fingers crossed that every last one of them make it! @Hopeful_mom I have mid cycle spotting maybe coming from my partially blocked right tube. That might be creating a toxic environment for implantation. I think it's called hydrosalpinx. I'm probably going to call this specialist in Chicago to get a more educated opinion. As for another round of IVF, my thinking is to get this stuff removed, try the ERA test and transfer my last embryo. If that doesn't work, maybe I'll think about it then when I have the check I'm expecting. I'm also hoping that my chances of conceiving naturally again will go up with things cleared out.

@BusinessWife I know it's so hard, but you are right; they are in God's hands, and only He can give and sustain life. It's amazing how weak my faith was those days of waiting, I was expecting the worst. But God came through despite my weak faith, and I know He's shaping your little ones too

Ok.... had my monitoring today (with a diff doc) and he told me he thought I'd be cooking for about 2 more days. I really hope I can trigger sooner than later. I have my flights to Austria booked for Saturday! Eeek! It's getting close to the wire. i have the same bunch of follies with the largest being about 16 ( measured by today's doc) so I dunno. Lining is thicker.... estrogen higher. Back on Tuesday. No change in meds.... waaaaa!
Transfer completed this morning! Two embryos (B4 and B3) were implanted and two more frozen. Now we just wait. Luckily not long though, my blood test is scheduled for 8 days from now (next Monday)... since I'm the least patient person on earth I imagine I'll POAS before then.... what day would even be worth it to try? Maybe Friday? I don't even know... this will be a LONG WEEK!
@Malibu45 I have no experience with the trigger shot but hope it's a real positive. FX for you!
@BusinessWife That is so difficult to wait so long for sure. If I were you I would still call after like day 3 or so and ask for an update. It can't hurt, right? At my clinic I have to ask for a report after every follie check. They don't automatically give it to you.
@dragonette505 sounds good. Hopefully you get to trigger then because you will be cutting it close to that trip for the retrieval! We will be close together because I'm hoping for trigger around Wednesday.
@southerngirl31 yay for your transfer... if you don't plan to test out the trigger, using digis a day or two before Beta is good. If you test out your trigger, you can keep using cheapies. @safire3 I was really really hoping to trigger on Tuesday. I guess I'll have to wait and see but hopefully no later than Wednesday. This doc today said 2 more, but I was also hoping for some change in meds (growth hormone at least) since I'd know i was in the home stretch! How were things looking on your last appointment?
@dragonette505 I guess they are happy with your progress so you don't need anything else. I haven't had any change in my meds since I started. Yesterday I only know the largest was 15 so not sure how many follies. I go again tomorrow so we will see. Seems like every time I go they push back my trigger day as well but they seem happy with the progress so
@safire3 we are in exactly the same place. No changes, slow and steady. I honestly wouldn't care if it wasn't for my planned vaca (which they approved). I really prefer to retrieve no later than Thursday. I'm pretty sure this time there will be no ohss so I don't have to worry about that, at least. Lol... love that gif! Perfect!
@dragonette505: So how many days have you stimmed thus far? I just got the call today that I can trigger tonight with a retrieval on Tuesday morning, so I've stimmed a total of 12 days. I really did wonder if he would stim me one more, but I'm starting to feel a little uncomfortable, so maybe that is a good sign that things are moving forward/getting to the right size.
Me: 41; DH: 45 Both married for the first time in our 40s; went straight to IVF after multiple fibroid surgeries (2/17) ER: #1: agonist/antagonist protocol: 19 eggs; 8 mature; 13 fertilized; 1 7-day blast (6BA = abnormal/non-viable) (4/17) ER: #2: same protocol but stimmed an extra 2 days: 16 eggs; 10 mature (5 more matured in lab); 13 fertilized; 2 6-day blasts (5AA & 6BA) & 2 7-day blasts (6BA & 5BB): only 1 Day 6 6BA tested normal! FET on 7/10/17 Beta on 7/21/17: Negative:( (8/17) ER #3: 9 eggs; 6 mature; 3 fertilized; 1 7-day blast (6BA = abnormal/non-viable) Developed severe complications (abdominal bleeding) following egg retrieval which required hospitalization, transfusion & emergency surgery. Done with IVF.
@angelbea yay!!!!! Lucky duckie!! Today is stim day 11..... I'm a slow developer and I've never had a typical 10 days of stimming, it's always been more. I'm just anxious to not mess up my vaca how is your follie count looking? Usually when you're feeling yucky you've got a good number!
@BusinessWife I'm sorry they're not calling to tell you more but try to relax. I will say my previous cycle before this last one was a roller coater everyday to where I was almost annoyed I kept finding out what was going on. BUT I do think you could call on Day 5 they have to have a report that day as they're checking to see how many are ready to be frozen!! No way are they waiting till day 6 to do that. I was freezing all of mine I really think its the clinics and how they choose to do it. You could always follow up and ask for them to look at your file too. My clinic called me on day 2 and I followed up and asked the lab myself each time. I feel like its if you want to know you can call...at least for mine.
@Malibu45 woohoo a faint it awesome! Can't wait for beta! I don't think it's your trigger! My first beta was 9days after transfer which meant 14days from trigger too....hoping you've got a sticky one in there!!! Lets hope those lines keep getting darker!!
@ReesaAnne16. just remember your PUPO so hoping its more then gas My smell kicked into high gear right away so you never know....
dragonette505@safire3 slow and steady win the race hoping it happens for u guys soon!
angelbea thats great and you were worried I feel like 12 days is pretty normal! What time r u triggering? Good luck! Its so exciting no more shots! Do you have to go in for blood tomorrow?
allycheer00 wow reading your post and the thought that it could happen naturally...ahhhh wouldn't that be nice!!! Hope you're being kind to yourself! Keep us updated on your second opinion!

@Hopeful_mom yaaas! So true about the selfish friends! I had sooo many... I think this type likes me because normally I have no drama so I'm happy to listen. When I started going through ivf, I just didn't have the energy to (a) just listen and never once get asked: but how are you doing? And (b) be the only one who initiates .... they aren't bad people, but clearly not an equal friendship. Ivf makes you distill life down to the things that are important. honestly, you girls are lifesavers.... some of the best people I've had the honor to get to know. If one good thing comes out of infertility, it's meeting the awesome people on here
I swear that gif is the best and perfect!!! Its amazing how you can have such love for strangers on the internet!!!
My mom was saying I"m just at a different stage then some others and yea I am....and g-d willing even when I'm at the "same stage" I'm still not going to want to be bothered with them! I no longer want to give that amount of energy anymore!

@Hopeful_mom right?!? It seems crazy to other people how emotionally invested I am with people's cycles and results, like truly overjoyed for good results and legit crying over bad.... im actually waay open to the future growth of people I've decided not to invest in (because I can't.... I couldn't even keep up with the dailies on here last week! Lol). If a few of them grow up, I'd love to have them back in my life.... but on my new terms. Never as they were again. I just know some ppl can change (and I like to leave the door open for that *possibility*)
@SouthernGirl31. Congratulations on transfer!!! Fx for your sticky lil beans!
AFM - I managed to wear a nice black/gold grecian one-shoulder dress to this wedding, mostly feeling okay, except for one awkward uncle's gf touching her belly and asking me when we were due! And when I didn't know what to say she was like, oh, no, you're too young! Uhm.... I literally did not know what to say to her so I just smiled and went back to my seat to blot my eyes. And change the subject lol
Thank you guys - this thread has made this whole process so far seem less like I'm on my own. There's those moments like going in to surgery for ER, or like today during the transfer where it was just me... no DH allowed back there... and I appreciate knowing all of you ladies are going through this crazy and hopeful experience too, and that we are all being strong at the same time! Can't wait to see more and more +++ result posts!
@southerngirl31 yay!!! FX for you big time!!! Keep us updated!!!
@Malibu45 that's so exciting!!! Sending all the good vibes and positive energy your way and for the positive beta!!!
@angelbea yay for trigger!! I'm looking forward to hearing how the ER goes!!
AFM I have an appt in the AM and I praying that I get to trigger tomorrow night. I feel like every step I take when I'm walking jostles around those ovaries! It's such a bizarre feeling! So so ready for this ER and I feel like it's taking forever--even though I'm on day 10 stims lol.

@allycheer00 - I'm so sorry. I'm glad you have a plan for going forward, but I'm still sad for you. I was really hoping this was it. Ugh. Sending you a big hug.
@Hopeful_mom I know my last sentence of that post is a huge stretch but I'm really just reading testimonies and running through anything possible scenarios. Sorry if I offended...really! @Funkykey To be honest, something told me to slow down. I made a post before my transfer where I mentioned that maybe my RE was missing something. So many of us have had to delay transfer. Being a research chemist and having this natural intuition to question EVERYTHING, I should have followed my gut. Lesson learned.

allycheer00 no offense taken at all - you're still young enough why can't you have that magic happen naturally! I wish it for everyone. The ones that do get it will never know how lucky they were to conceive that magic!! Did your gut really tell you not to transfer?? I always feel like my RE might be missing something but I don't know what else to ask for anymore. I did get pregnant I just lost it...its so hard!!!

Hello everyone. I've read the posts I missed over the weekend and I'm celebrating with those who had progressed a step ahead further in their journey and I'm sending lots of love to those who received unfavorable news.
Here is my update:
Friday 12:30nn --- ER --- Got 4 eggs--- DH instructed to have 3eggs under ICSI and 1egg under a normal process of just spraying it with sperm for the purpose of comparison.
Saturday, all day, felt so weak and sore--- I just rested
Sunday , felt much better
Monday (today) 3pm ---Doc called, she talked with DH, I had ONE 3-day cell with fragmentation.
I'm not sure if that was a 3cell embryo or just a 3-day cell with how many cell divisions I don't know. I couldn't ask my husband more questions for he looks so down and defeated. Anyway, that ONE is now frozen and I'll have FET in October.
Later, he said I also have TWO more eggs under observation and will know how they are doing on Wednesday.
My DH and I hugged and cried. I told him that I was happy because we have a chance to have a baby. He said he was sad because the news was bad. I didn't know how to change his outlook but I just told him that I will prepare the best I can for that day of FET in October.
@tinjp78 sounds to me like they froze a day 3 embie (with fragmentation) and are observing two more? Actually that they are letting those other two go to Day 5 must mean they are better quality? To my mind if they freeze on Day 3 then they would've probably frozen them all if they didn't think those 2 could go to blastocyst. Don't give up on your embies yet!!! Maybe you'll get the other two to freeze too!!
Yes, @dragonette505 . ONE is frozen and TWO are still keeping the suspense. I just don't have any more info regarding those 2 other embies they are still observing. I also hope that they would have better result on Wednesday.
@tinjp78. Fx so hard for your two lil fighters still in the ring!!! I didn't know they would freeze a day 3, so that is lucky you can still have a chance there!!! Rather than to have lost that one completely. That's exciting!!
Yes, @BusinessWife I was just paralyzed this morning waiting for that call from our Dr. and when we got the news, I could breathe again. That ONE frozen one made me feel I was given a chance and that I should prepare well for this next stage.
@tinjp78 I agree with @BusinessWife that's it's so cool they froze a day 3 for you! I'm doing ok with these shots but I guess I'm finally starting to get physically a little beat up by them.... I've been mildly nauseous the past few days and today, couldn't keep down my prenatal vitamins.... ugh
Took my third and final pregnancy test before my BETA tomorrow morning and it came back positive! Fingers and toes crossed for tomorrow !!
Yay girl! This is it! Now it's just seeing how nicely your beta doubles! Did you do a digi? Those are great because you know for sure your beta will be over 50
Re: Anyone doing IVF in July/August?
@ReesaAnne16 it's funny... true ms can begin (though usually more mild) pretty early. Many girls start noticing for sure between week 5 and 6. But along with the progesterone you're taking, once you start being at a certain level of hcg, you can start feeling yucky. Again, it can also be in part due to the progesterone, but the yuckier you feel, the better! Lol
@BusinessWife I've only ever done planned freeze Alls and always got Day 3 and 5 updates. I think it may just be your clinics policies?
@Malibu45 I'm willing to bet money that you're pregnant! Cramps are a real good sign. Most of the girls in my FB group who got their positives had cramping. I didn't have any so that's how I knew I was out.
@BusinessWife Thursday will be here before you know it. Once they told me how many fertilized, I asked them not to call until day 5 lol. Fingers crossed that every last one of them make it!
@Hopeful_mom I have mid cycle spotting maybe coming from my partially blocked right tube. That might be creating a toxic environment for implantation. I think it's called hydrosalpinx. I'm probably going to call this specialist in Chicago to get a more educated opinion. As for another round of IVF, my thinking is to get this stuff removed, try the ERA test and transfer my last embryo.

10 days of stimming, it's always been more. I'm just anxious to not mess up my vaca

@Malibu45 that's so exciting!!! Sending all the good vibes and positive energy your way and for the positive beta!!!
@angelbea yay for trigger!! I'm looking forward to hearing how the ER goes!!
AFM I have an appt in the AM and I praying that I get to trigger tomorrow night. I feel like every step I take when I'm walking jostles around those ovaries! It's such a bizarre feeling! So so ready for this ER and I feel like it's taking forever--even though I'm on day 10 stims lol.

@BusinessWife - keeping FX for you!
@Malibu45 - congratulations!! Great news!
@ReesaAnne16 - keeping FX for you!
@Funkykey To be honest, something told me to slow down. I made a post before my transfer where I mentioned that maybe my RE was missing something. So many of us have had to delay transfer. Being a research chemist and having this natural intuition to question EVERYTHING, I should have followed my gut. Lesson learned.

allycheer00 no offense taken at all - you're still young enough why can't you have that magic happen naturally! I wish it for everyone. The ones that do get it will never know how lucky they were to conceive that magic!! Did your gut really tell you not to transfer?? I always feel like my RE might be missing something but I don't know what else to ask for anymore. I did get pregnant I just lost it...its so hard!!!

Here is my update:
Friday 12:30nn --- ER --- Got 4 eggs--- DH instructed to have 3eggs under ICSI and 1egg under a normal process of just spraying it with sperm for the purpose of comparison.
Saturday, all day, felt so weak and sore--- I just rested
Sunday , felt much better
Monday (today) 3pm ---Doc called, she talked with DH, I had ONE 3-day cell with fragmentation.
I'm not sure if that was a 3cell embryo or just a 3-day cell with how many cell divisions I don't know. I couldn't ask my husband more questions for he looks so down and defeated. Anyway, that ONE is now frozen and I'll have FET in October.
Later, he said I also have TWO more eggs under observation and will know how they are doing on Wednesday.
My DH and I hugged and cried. I told him that I was happy because we have a chance to have a baby. He said he was sad because the news was bad. I didn't know how to change his outlook but I just told him that I will prepare the best I can for that day of FET in October.
ugh
