January FET

bdaisy2761

Good luck today @prudence9-2 and @shauna43! 

@DecemberDoll27 Im crossing my fingers for good news for you today!

Afm,I got my Beta yesterday TW* BFN, I think I knew it was going to be negative but we were trying to hope for the best. End TW* Were going to do another transfer as soon as possible, but my husband and I are trying to decide whether to do one or two. My Dr's feel very strongly about us doing one embryo, but after yesterday I don't know what to do.

DecemberDoll27

@bdaisy2761 I am so sorry for your BFN, I know the feeling. It is good that you are doing another transfer, just go with your gut and if you want t do two, just go for it. 
AFM, my next step will probably be ERA, but I don't know if my next transfer after that is going to work anyway because I only have one low grade frostie left. I will have to transfer it anyway because we are on a share risk program with my clinic so I can't do embryo banking. But I am already mentally prepping for one more IVF cycle. Possible PGS this time even though my RE is not supporting PGS. He says that recent studies show that there is no guarantee with PGS and it is possible for viable embryos to get discarded and it reduces quality of good embryos you end up with. 
My DH is still hoping for a bfp today, he says that I am normally not that crazy and it is a symptom. I hope he is right.

@bdaisy2761 oh no, I’m so sorry to hear!! Take all the time you and need and like said earlier go with your gut on transferring 1 vs 2. I would have totally done 2 but I only had the 2 frozen so my RE strongly recommended one at a time. I hope the next transfer is what will get you your little miracle to hold!!

@DecemberDoll27 I’m keeping EVERYTHING crossed for you today that you don’t even have to worry about any more cycles or an ERA!!

Thanks @Knottie17863111@tnh0413@DecemberDoll27 @bdaisy2761. 

@bdaisy2761 so sorry to hear about your BFN

@DecemberDoll27 I’m still hoping you’d get a BFP today! But if not, ERA is a good idea. 


AFM nervous about today as it’s my last embryo. But trying to remain hopeful.

Update on my second beta today 

**TW** it’s 951!!! **TW**

prudence9-2

Yay! @tnh0413 that’s a great second beta!!

rachelbeth130

Good luck to today @DecemberDoll27!! Really hoping you get a positive today!

DecemberDoll27

Thank you @rachelbeth130

Still no cal which is a bad sign because they normally call with good news around noon and with bad news later in the day.
@tnh0413 Congrats! I am so happy for you! Your numbers are super strong! I wish you happy and healthy 9 month!

DecemberDoll27

Do you guys want to hear the update?

TW* my beta is 6.6* they want me to repeat on Friday. THat number would actually explain how I felt super prego Monday morning and it went away Monday night. Ohhh well, I might be one of those very low beta success stories...

@DecemberDoll27

*TW* I'm so sorry. That's how my chemical pregnancy was when I got my beta of 15. I definitely felt pregnant the first days, but I knew that my numbers weren't looking good at all and the feeling faded completely by the time I got the second result at 4.

tnh0413

@DecemberDoll27 oh no, I’m so sorry to hear. ((Hugs))

DecemberDoll27

Thank you @tnh0413 and @AlohaKumu. I don't have more words right now

tinjp78

@DecemberDoll27 ((hugs)) to you friend. Be kind to yourself today. Take some rest to recharge your energy for the repeat beta on Friday. 

@prudence9-2 and @shauna43 Thinking of you today. Have a good transfer! Oh and abt your question on when I go in for my beta @prudence9-2, I don't have a sched for that, dr just told us to call the clinic if my AF comes. I'm now 13dpiui and I haven't POAS. I'm feeling Af symptoms but I'm still hopeful.

prudence9-2

@DecemberDoll27 I’m so sorry to hear that!!!

@tinjp78 will you POAS tomorrow?

AFM... transfer went smoothly. I’m back home on the sofa watching some Netflix. Hoping this is the one! 

tinjp78

@prudence9-2 Congratulations on being PUPO!!! This will be it, let's believe it! I'll be thinking and praying for you on this TWW and after.

afm, I won't POAS. I'll just wait for a week after my TWW to get a beta if AF doesn't come.

Mando15

@DecemberDoll27 I am so sorry. As you said, FX that you are one of the success stories. We are all rooting for you.

@tnh0413 congrats on your beta numbers. Those are awesome! I have been MIA for a bit and tried to scroll back through and catch up but you are our first BFP right? Hoping for more!

Congrats to the newest PUPO gals! FX for great betas!

AFM... turns out the 30th didn’t work for my clinic’s schedule so I have been pushed to 2/1 and will now be a Feb FET... buuuut I am going to stick around with you guys if that’s cool?

Happy Thursday everyone. We are almost to the weekend. Anybody doing anything fun to keep them busy and distracted either while waiting for their betas or waiting for their transfer?

prudence9-2

Thanks @tinjp78

@Mando15 yes, please stick around here with us are you having medicated or non medicated FET?

DecemberDoll27

Thank you everybody for your kind words and hugs. I was in no condition to post yesterday. Today is a bit better. And I did not drink any wine last night and continued on PIO. I know that it is a CP at this point but will be good till official BFN tomorrow ( or that's what I expect to happen anyway). 

Mando15

@prudence9-2 congrats on being PUPO! How did everything go yesterday? When is your beta? I am doing a medicated FET. I am currently doing 4 Vivelle estrogen patches every other day and will drop down to 2 every other day on Sunday. Start my PIO this Saturday and go in for FET next Thursday afternoon. Can't believe the time is finally here! I had my retrieval last February and this is my first FET. It has been a long time coming!
I had my lining check yesterday and my lining is currently at 10.1. Hope it stays nice and thick and at least one of my embabies get nice and cozy next week!

DecemberDoll27

@prudence9-2 Congrats on being PUPO! Hopefully this is the one! I have everything crossed for you! You deserve this to finally work! 

prudence9-2

Thanks @DecemberDoll27. I totally understand you holding off on the wine! After all, there are success stories of women that started with a very low beta. Sending you internet hugs 

@Mando15 no Lupron with your medicated cycle? My medicated cycles have Lupron and vivelle. Lupron is absolutely the worst. So be happy you don’t use it  
my beta is on day 12pt... 2/5... and I don’t plan to test prior to that. ***TW*** testing prior and realizing I had a CP was the worst ***end TW***

Mando15

@prudence9-2 no Lupron for me on this cycle. Not sure what it does but at my appointment yesterday my RE seemed happy with whatever was going on in there lol. I so admire the will power on not testing at home early. I really, really, really want to wait for my beta on 2/11 (hubby's bday) but I don't know if I will be able to. It would be such a nice bday present if we get our first ever BFP that day. But since this is my first transfer, I am trying to be cautiously optimistic and not get my hopes up. 

prudence9-2

So I woke up with sore throat today and I’m having a slight fever now and coughing  

i hope its not my body fighting the embryo... 

DecemberDoll27

@prudence9-2 try not to worry, friend! If you have a sore throat your body is probably fighting it and not the embryo. Chances are it is just a flu or common cold. Where are you located? I am in MN, we are having nasty weather and it seems like everyone around me is sick. It is just flu season. I was sick with flu during my egg retrieval and my RE said that as long as the fever is under 100 there is no damage to eggs or embryos

prudence9-2

@DecemberDoll27 my fever is above 100. It’s 100.33 now 

DecemberDoll27

You can take Tylenol @prudence9-2. Lots of people get sick during TWW. You will be fine, just breath! Your embryo is ok implanting away in your uterus, it is just a little warmer right now! Drink lots of fluids, tea with lemon and honey.  Take it easy, everything will be ok! You will get this BFP on Feb 2nd!

DecemberDoll27

@prudence9-2 I meant to say Feb 5th.

prudence9-2

Thanks @DecemberDoll27 fever finally went down a little bit. I really hope my body is fighting this cold/flu and not the embryo. I was feeling totally fine yesterday!

prudence9-2

So I’m def having the flu.  Really the worst possible time 

bdaisy2761

@prudence9-2 I'm so sorry, what bad timing. Try not to worry too much (I know that's easy to say). I hope you feel better soon!

Knottie17863111

@DecemberDoll27 Sending a big hug your way and positive thoughts as you go into your second beta today. 

@prudence9-2 I hope you get well soon. This flu season has been awful. 

@Mando15 It's my first transfer too and I'm trying to stay cautiously optimistic as well. My beta is the same day as your transfer. I am planning to avoid testing until then. I hope your beta number is the best birthday gift your husband has ever received! 

@tnh0413 I am so happy for you! 

AFM I had a really hard day yesterday. I'm halfway through my TWW and I think my emotions just got the best of me. I know we all have a lot riding on this and the pressure can just be too much sometimes. Plus, all of the estrogen and possible pregnancy hormones don't help! lol 

prudence9-2

@bdaisy2761 @Knottie17863111 thanks! My fever seems to be down for now. But still coughing and sore throat. 

I really hope the emebryo is getting comfortable in there.

@prudence9-2 Not to feed the BSC, but I have heard that the "ivf cold" is kind of a real thing.  I guess because the mother's immunity actually goes down in order to allow the embryo to implant, so she may get sick at the same time, too.

*TW*
<div class=" Spoiler">I felt exactly the same way, with all the same fears, bc I got sick right after transfer, Christmas weekend, but sure enough... ;)</div>
I hope so hard for you that this is it!!!

prudence9-2

@BusinessWife did you have fever too? Whenever my fever gets to 100.4 I take Tylenol... 

i hope this is the case for me too and that my body is not fighting the embryo!

shauna43

Hey yall sorry i dont log on much! Been getting lines on hpt since 3houra post transfer. Going to confirm with frer tomorrow.  How is everyone else???

prudence9-2

Wow!!! BFP 3 hours after transfer!!! That’s amazing!!!! Congrats!!!


AFM... woke up with fever of 101.98. I took two Tylenol and I’m just lying in bed now trying to wait and see if it takes the fever down. I never have fever

[Deleted User]

@prudence9-2. I didn't have a fever, but it's okay to take Tylenol.  Hope you feel better!  Don't worry!  Your body is fighting those sicky germs in an effort to protect your little embryo, not the other way around.  Promise! ❤  Lots of chicken soup and rest...

shauna43

So sorry prudence! That sux!!!!!  By the way im freinds with hopeful (we text on phone ). She told me about you. Keeping you in my prayers and sending posituve thoughts all the way to u.

Please message me  if yiud like....im terrible about getting on here.  Just know i think about you all and wishing you all blazing bfps!!!!

prudence9-2

Thanks @BusinessWife @shauna43

I called the clinic and the dr on call just called me back. Fever is bad. She wants me to take 2 Tylenol extra strength every 6 hours!!! I hope I didn’t ruin the embryo already

tnh0413

@prudence9-2 oh no I’m sorey you’re feeling so crummy!! Don’t you worry about that embaby! He/she is getting snuggled in tightly!! How’s the fever now??
