@Magallyta they suggest you eat like you're already pregnant. No raw foods or unpasteurized drinks, no alcohol. Hot Foods if you are using tcm, pineapple core if you like being extra (I did it for sure!)
@dragonette505 thank you I figured I would do a pregnancy diet just double checking- thanks for confirming. I also have my pineapple & going to cut 5 slices
@Magallyta. Congratulations!!! Here's to being PASP!! ❤❤❤
Did I tell you guys? I got my insurance auth today for my repeat cycle! Eep. It's already CD2, meds are set to arrive tomorrow, and baselines scans bright and early, too. I cant believe we're here again so soon! But I am incredibly grateful and really excited. Trying not to have the excitement ruined by all the fears and doubts that creep in - easier said than done! Lol
@BusinessWife yup! Tomorrow I have to reach out to my doc to find out what happened. I think it's so weird.... why can't they just email me the report when they have the info?!? Also YAY to heading into another cycle!!! I feel like this is gonna go by so quick, then you can just get ready for fet!
Oh ladies how i love theee...all the good juju thank u!!! Thats why some months just need to continue onward and u feel the love!! I've been working around the clock so I can see my post confused some...No one is cancelling my FET. My original email I wrote to my RE confused the nurse, we'll just leave it at that
I won't lie I was panicked this AM as I ended up not sleeping and going straight form work to monitoring,,,so I was already nervous that things might not go well. Here's a good laugh, I then learn I was taking 1 mg vaginally and apparently I was suppose to be taking 2mg...so now i'm even more concerned. Lucky for me that didn't matter and it is go time ladies!! E2 was 300 and lining is 9A so lets do this!!! First PIO shot this evening and I'm nervous,...but ready for it!! Monday will be my transfer g-d willing!!
Enter exciting gif, emoji anything...it will not let me boooooo...but u get my joy and my lil freak out...but I got this. Working ung-dly hours I"m now happy I was delayed and can sleep over the weekend and hopefully feel rested and good for the transfer. I can't believe its happening!!!
OOOOOOO AND it will be with the RE that did my fresh transfer that me pregnant so lets DO THIS!!!!
@funkykey and @dragonette505 ditto on making me laugh!!! I think i've given some time to some of this crap on here. The model who was an accident and the husband no longer said she can carry the baby....I was like really why. Too many stupid points where its like make ur story better then. And why do i need to here your a model, that means your perfect, bitch please eat a burger My fav probably not biotec is some chic complaining she wants to have a baby but doesn't like how sperm feels inside of her how can she get around this...doesn't it feel weird. REALLY CREEPY DOUCHE GUY!! Like sick weirdo what on earth are you expecting for us to say...
Bababatty hoping things go smoothly and you'll be a go in oct!
Momifbysea they weren't miscommunication I always say its on my body...glad i'm moving forward!
@angelbea THRILLED for your day 7 which really sounds like a day 6...you have all the chance in the world! Come on normie!!!

@hopefulmom don't be nervous about the thaw. I was too & asked my doc how long it would take to thaw it lol. He said "30 minutes" when's your transfer?
Hi ladies, quick update while I have internet still. The hurricane has passed, most of my city is without power/ internet etc. but I was finally able to have my beta blood test today. !!BFP!!! My HCG was at 274 and I go back Friday to see how much they increase. So thankful ❤️
@Hopeful_mom - Oh man, I missed the sperm one, but I remember the accident one. That was a gem! The one with the husband who didn't want her to carry the child... like, what?! LOL.
When I read it, it was like they were saying he didn't want her to get pregnant because he was worried about her losing her figure. At first, when reading it, I was like: "WRONG BOARD, lady." And then I realized: "Biotex! Spamming on the wrong board!" Such assholes!
Anyway, FX for your transfer!! I am so so so so excited for you!
@dragonette505 - dying for your results, fingers crossed!!
@southerngirl31 thats a great beta congrats!! when do u go bac? glad Irma has left the building and you're safe, hoping you're doing ok!!
funkykey its so outrageous taking the time to make up fake nonsense to sell a product. News flash if it was SO GREAT wouldn't someones clinic recommend it to someone. Its amazing the lengths people go to. Whats better is you guys catch them on multiple boards.

My right boob aches from time to time. Has any of you experienced this after ER? I don't usually experience this so I'm a bit worried. I had my ER 9/1.
@tinjp78 i usually have sore boobs untily period. Not all of the hormones you used for stims will leave 100% right away. And they can clear out at different rates from cycle to cycle @Hopeful_mom the likelyhood of thaw issues is super low!!! Are you transferring one? @southerngirl31 congrats!!!! @Hopeful_mom@funkykey i still really enjoyed the non biotex spam but still against forum rules post from the girl who said: "I THINK IM PREGNANT AND IM DYING" and I was like: damn! She must've found out she was pregnant and diagnosed with cancer at the same time!!! Lol she was just being dramatic!!! We all laughed so hard!!
@dragonette505 I can't wait to hear your report today. I love how @Hopeful_mom said she'll be reaching for the stars with you, I second that!
Hope you all don't mind me hanging around while I do my BCP for my next round. I figure I'll jump over when I'm closer to my next stims...
Has anyone else still had pain in their lower pelvic area when peeing? It feels like a muscle thing and can be pretty intense but only when I'm using those muscles. Ive had this with all 3 of my ERs but Ive always felt fully recovered by 2 weeks after. Today is 3 weeks out from my last ER. Ive been holding off calling my RE for fear they won't let me do this cycle which is not an option! Anyway, I have no pain except for those times just for a few seconds so maybe no big deal. Maybe I lifted too much when doing the move a couple of weeks ago?
@Momifbysea I don't know if you know whether your RE does this during retrievals, since most women are asleep for them, but I was awake for mine and remember it. My RE places a quick urinary catheter before the retrieval in order to completely empty the bladder. There is always a risk of a UTI after a catheter placement so maybe you should ask your doctor about the pain.

@ReesaAnne16 it's def not a UTI feeling (Ive had those before). The pain isn't near where I go, but rather the lower left pelvic muscles. I'll go easy on lifting this weekend and maybe call next week if I still have the pain.
@Momifbysea I sometimes have somewhat soreness in the lower pelvis.... I think it's from sore ovaries plus they had to poke through your vagina to get to the ovaries. It usually resolves after about a week and a half or by af. Nothing but bad news for me today... I'm so in the dumps I'll just post a screen grab of the email: Sigh.....
Momifbysea i was a mess after this last ER and did go back to the dr for a check to make sure all was ok in there...we did a urine test as well as I thought i too was having burning for a sec when releasing my pee as well. My ovary was still quite inflamed which explained the discomfort. You should have it checked out, couldn't hurt! Don't jump to conclusions. And of course hang out...I was serious when I said we should all stick around still we got those BFPs And then we can move to the other boards
dragonette505 I am certainly not happy with this update but also confused...sounds like you have at least 2 right? The 2 that were early blasts wouldn't those get frozen?? sigh its time like these that i say fresh transfer!
@tinjp78 unfortunately ER can play havoc on our bodies and my RE said that sometimes your body doesn't bounce back till after AF sucks but that can be the case.

@dragonette505 I'm so sorry to see your update, Ive been there each time and it is the worst. There aren't any words for the disappointment. We do all we can and can have no regrets in that! I hope you can take it easy and find a distraction to help while you process the news. Sending a hug your way.
@dragonette505 I'm sorry, I'm sure you must be feeling disappointed.
If it's at all encouraging, I had an early blast on day 5 that did make it to the expanded blast stage by day 6 to freeze, so I'm hopeful your 2 lead embryos are still viable too!! I was so worried about the early blast on day 5 that my embryologist agreed to grow it out to day 7 before discarding it if needed. We didn't need to do that, but it was nice that he offered, maybe your clinic would do that too.

@Hopeful_mom I agree this is probably one of those cycles that might have been good as a 3 day transfer @Momifbysea I know... my last two cycles I at least got embies to freeze so this sux! @ReesaAnne16 I think if I'd had at least one to freeze on day 5 I'd try to be more hopeful right now they are letting 4 grow... I just don't have the energy to be hopeful
@dragonette505 I am so sorry to see that update. I'm really hoping the 2 that look good can make it to freeze tomorrow. Hugs to you friend and be good to yourself today.
dragonette505 and thats why we are here because we have all the hope in the world!! I guess my confusion is usually they just need it to get to the blast stage and then freeze...technically 2 of mine we just in the expanding stage and they still made it to freeze. Remember slow and steady win the race - hang in there!! sending u hugs!!

@tinjp78 My breasts hurt so much during the entire IVF cycle. All those hormones can definitely wreck havoc!
@Hopeful_mom Phew! I'm so glad that you ARE doing the transfer! What a relief!
@BusinessWife Huzzah to getting the approval and starting the cycle! Each cycle is a new opportunity--I'm excited to follow along and see what good things come your way. FX for lots of success! Will you keep updating us here?
@dragonette505 Damn, I'm sorry that's the news you got! Not at all what you were hoping or expecting, I know. I still hold out hope for those two remaining blasts. Praying they make it to freeze for you today!
Fellow Warriors: Just got the update that the rest results of our Day 7 embie were abnormal/non-viable. Honestly, it is just as well, as I cannot stomach the thought of doing all those shots again, especially since the stats are so low for a Day 7 embryo success. Also, we have decided that we are done with IVF, as my recent experience was just so traumatic, and I think my body is telling me to stop. So I am listening. I will be signing off, but thinking of you all and wishing you nothing but success and happiness.
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.
southerngirl31 Congrats!!! So very happy for you! I am also glad the storm has passed and you are safe. Can't wait to hear about your beta tomorrow!
dragonette505 I am sorry for the difficult news. I'm sending you hugs and thinking of you. I know that feeling of not having the energy to be hopeful. This group can be hopeful for you.
angelbea Good for you knowing what you need. I wish you all the luck in the world!
2nd Beta today and more than
doubled. I'm at 402.6 so I’m on track. I had a low fever last night and been
super tired. Boobs are feeling sore and I had some nausea last night and this
morning.
I have an ultrasound next Friday just to put myself at ease
to make sure the baby implanted in a good spot.

Hello all ! Haven't been on in several days ...been crazy with the start of school!
I had my first ultrasound today and even everything looked great ! We saw the sac and the yoc! I am 5.5 weeks pregnant today ! Estrogen is almost 2,000 bday progesterone is greater than 60 so I no longer have to take Estrace or Crinone !
Doctor said all my levels have been excellent that he feels confident in discharging me early from the fertility practice ! I go to my OB/GYN next Thursday for my first sonogram with them ! Feels so good to be going back there ! My doctor delivered my daughter 3 years ago so it feels so good to be able to finally go back to him ! I'll keep you all posted !
I was not able to read through the posts because I am about 100+ posts behind lol. With that said I hope everyone's cycles are all going well and moving in the direction you want! Good luck !
@angelbea I am just devastated for you. It sounds like you have done a lot of work already tho, as you seem pretty confident in your decision - I'm not sure if "at peace" would be true at this point unless you're secretly really the Dalai Lama or something. Jeez. What will your next steps be? Know that my heart goes out to you, and please know that you are welcome here any time you need support, although I know it may be tough. I am just so so sorry to see your journey end like this and I am wishing all good things for you!!! ❤❤❤
@Bababatty. I definitely can, if it's not too weird? Lol. I do feel a little weird on the Sept thread only bc now I'm "new" there, and I don't yet know those ladies like we already know each other here. Don't get me started on the Oct FET thread! Lol. I friggin <i>started</i> it, and I feel like a lurker there!
How long are some of these transfer protocols???? Idgi?
@dragonette505. Wow. I don't know what to say. To go from so many chugging along and such a promising start... to this. I am surprised they can't freeze the two early blasts? Or why would they think they won't keep growing? Please know I have everything crossed for your two little fighters!!! ❤❤ <img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/5020794/uploads/editor/1s/r8cfaczu74sv.gif" alt="">
@dragonette505@safire3@Hopeful_mom@Bababatty Thanks for your kind response. I feel more assured hearing this from you, that this is just normal and will pass after AF, than coming from my Dr. Don't get me wrong, I like her and I believe she is smart but sometimes she has this look that makes me feel she doesn't truly understand what I'm going through and she is not 100% there for me. Her mind must be preoccupied by her other patients' cases so I'll just give her a break.
@dragonette505 I'm sorry the result of your embies isn't turning out the way you expect it to be. It is alright if you feel like having no hope at this point, I and the other ladies here will be the ones sending out all the HOPE for you. Btw, I don't understand that mail you got from your clinic, it said non were viable to freeze? I just can't accept why they wouldn't especially the 2 that reached early blast at day 5. And there was 4 that SEEM to have stopped developing. The word 'seem' looks so suspicious to me.
@Hopeful_mom I pray for your successful transfer day.
@angelbea I hope and pray that you will keep fighting like a warrior in every challenge that'll face you and WIN them! Feel free to drop by whenever you like.

Lol

When I read it, it was like they were saying he didn't want her to get pregnant because he was worried about her losing her figure. At first, when reading it, I was like: "WRONG BOARD, lady." And then I realized: "Biotex! Spamming on the wrong board!" Such assholes!
Anyway, FX for your transfer!! I am so so so so excited for you!
@dragonette505 - dying for your results, fingers crossed!!
funkykey its so outrageous taking the time to make up fake nonsense to sell a product. News flash if it was SO GREAT wouldn't someones clinic recommend it to someone. Its amazing the lengths people go to. Whats better is you guys catch them on multiple boards.

@Hopeful_mom the likelyhood of thaw issues is super low!!! Are you transferring one?
@southerngirl31 congrats!!!!
@Hopeful_mom@funkykey i still really enjoyed the non biotex spam but still against forum rules post from the girl who said: "I THINK IM PREGNANT AND IM DYING" and I was like: damn! She must've found out she was pregnant and diagnosed with cancer at the same time!!! Lol she was just being dramatic!!! We all laughed so hard!!
@Magallyta congrats on your bfp!!!
@dragonette505 I can't wait to hear your report today. I love how @Hopeful_mom said she'll be reaching for the stars with you, I second that!
Hope you all don't mind me hanging around while I do my BCP for my next round. I figure I'll jump over when I'm closer to my next stims...
Has anyone else still had pain in their lower pelvic area when peeing? It feels like a muscle thing and can be pretty intense but only when I'm using those muscles. Ive had this with all 3 of my ERs but Ive always felt fully recovered by 2 weeks after. Today is 3 weeks out from my last ER. Ive been holding off calling my RE for fear they won't let me do this cycle which is not an option! Anyway, I have no pain except for those times just for a few seconds so maybe no big deal. Maybe I lifted too much when doing the move a couple of weeks ago?
FX for an excellent report today @dragonette505!
@tinjp78 I have had sore boobs since the ER, much worse than I usually have. I assume it will resolve with AF.

Nothing but bad news for me today... I'm so in the dumps I'll just post a screen grab of the email:
Sigh.....
Magallyta that means Momifbysea is foreshadowing for you, yes!!
dragonette505 I am certainly not happy with this update but also confused...sounds like you have at least 2 right? The 2 that were early blasts wouldn't those get frozen?? sigh its time like these that i say fresh transfer!
@tinjp78 unfortunately ER can play havoc on our bodies and my RE said that sometimes your body doesn't bounce back till after AF sucks but that can be the case.

If it's at all encouraging, I had an early blast on day 5 that did make it to the expanded blast stage by day 6 to freeze, so I'm hopeful your 2 lead embryos are still viable too!! I was so worried about the early blast on day 5 that my embryologist agreed to grow it out to day 7 before discarding it if needed. We didn't need to do that, but it was nice that he offered, maybe your clinic would do that too.

@Momifbysea I know... my last two cycles I at least got embies to freeze so this sux!
@ReesaAnne16 I think if I'd had at least one to freeze on day 5 I'd try to be more hopeful
right now they are letting 4 grow... I just don't have the energy to be hopeful

@Hopeful_mom Phew! I'm so glad that you ARE doing the transfer! What a relief!
@BusinessWife Huzzah to getting the approval and starting the cycle! Each cycle is a new opportunity--I'm excited to follow along and see what good things come your way. FX for lots of success! Will you keep updating us here?
@dragonette505 Damn, I'm sorry that's the news you got! Not at all what you were hoping or expecting, I know. I still hold out hope for those two remaining blasts. Praying they make it to freeze for you today!
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.
dragonette505 I am sorry for the difficult news. I'm sending you hugs and thinking of you. I know that feeling of not having the energy to be hopeful. This group can be hopeful for you.
angelbea Good for you knowing what you need. I wish you all the luck in the world!
2nd Beta today and more than doubled. I'm at 402.6 so I’m on track. I had a low fever last night and been super tired. Boobs are feeling sore and I had some nausea last night and this morning.
I have an ultrasound next Friday just to put myself at ease to make sure the baby implanted in a good spot.

I had my first ultrasound today and even everything looked great ! We saw the sac and the yoc! I am 5.5 weeks pregnant today ! Estrogen is almost 2,000 bday progesterone is greater than 60 so I no longer have to take Estrace or Crinone !
Doctor said all my levels have been excellent that he feels confident in discharging me early from the fertility practice ! I go to my OB/GYN next Thursday for my first sonogram with them ! Feels so good to be going back there ! My doctor delivered my daughter 3 years ago so it feels so good to be able to finally go back to him ! I'll keep you all posted !
I was not able to read through the posts because I am about 100+ posts behind lol. With that said I hope everyone's cycles are all going well and moving in the direction you want! Good luck !
@Bababatty. I definitely can, if it's not too weird? Lol. I do feel a little weird on the Sept thread only bc now I'm "new" there, and I don't yet know those ladies like we already know each other here. Don't get me started on the Oct FET thread! Lol. I friggin <i>started</i> it, and I feel like a lurker there!
How long are some of these transfer protocols???? Idgi?
