Trouble TTC

~*~IVF Check-in 10/30~*~

I am SOOO sorry this is so late!!!

There are quite a few of us going through IVF here on 3T so I thought a check-in where we could give updates and offer support to one another would be helpful.

I will post it on Thursday nights and then re-post on Friday.

Please let me know if you would like to be added or if I have missed any updates!

Congrats to L&R0707 and BellaSera2 !!

Good luck to Beth on her ER and to anyone who has beta coming up!

    Good luck, Beth!  I hope your ER goes well on Monday! 

    Update:  I started Estrace Thursday night for IVF #2!  I will start Provera next Friday!  Then I will go in after I start Provera to make sure my cyst has resolved itself.  If it has we are set!  If it hasn't, I will either have have it aspirated or start BCPs and push my cycle to January.  I could use some T&Ps that the cyst is gone! 

    QOTW:  I love most candy.  I don't know how to choose a favorite.  I love spree and sweettarts.  I also love, peanut and peanut butter M&Ms, Twix and Peanutbutter Twix and several others.  Whatchamacallits were my favorite, but I haven't seen them in a long time.

  • Hi ladies...can I be added?  I started BCP's on 10/29 and will take them through 11/28 and start stims on Dec.3rd.  I have a mock transfer/SHG/blood work on Nov. 10th and a mandatory orientation on Nov. 16th (other couples will be present...anyone else have to do this?).  I think ER will be around Dec. 16/17th with ET around Dec. 22nd.

    I am actually excited to have a much needed semi-break while taking BCP's.  Wishing everyone good luck and big hugs:)

    QOTW:  I don't turn any type of chocolate away;)

    Update: BFN on Friday and AF started on Saturday.  I'm supposed to call the RE's office Monday and we'll figure out the plan for IVF #2.2 in December... they are going to decide whether to change my dosages back to what we did for IVF #1 since that worked better or try something entirely different. 

    QOTW: Anything chocolate, and I love dark chocolate.  And I 2nd the See's lollipops... my parents and sister used to live in CA before I was born and my dad loves them... I often order them off the internet for him for Father's Day and Christmas.

  • Ladies, thank you so much for all the kind words.  It means so much to know that you are thinking of me.  Huge, huge congrats to the BFPs and big ((((hugs)))) to illinigal.  I'm thinking of you, sweetie.  

    I'm not sure what our next step is.  We have one frozen embie, so we might be able to do an FET before the end of the year.  If that doesn't work, we'll do IVF #2 but I think we'll take a break for a while.   

    I need to have the WTF talk with my RE.  My 10 cell embie had a lot of fragmentation, and the other was a 6 cell so I am not sure if there is a quality issue.  I am trying not to get ahead of myself, but I definitely spent last night researching donor eggs and adoption.  

    Thank you again, ladies.  Your support really does help.  (((((((hugs))))))))

  • OMG mdluv - don't be sorry...you definitely have had a lot going on and I'm praying for you!! :)

     Good luck cbubbles2, lyse2143 and mdluv21!!

    Big (((hugs))) to those who need it...your all in my thoughts and prayers!

    No update on me...still waiting for AF...grrrrr!!  Should have been here by now, but hopefully by next check-in I'll be able to report stims have started.

    QOTW:  Hhhhmmm....it's a toss up between snickers and twix...I'll take both! ;)

  • Hey Ladies,

    I know you haven't seen much of me lately...I have been spending most of my time on TTCAL since we lost our baby. I would really like to be added to your group.

    We found out on Friday that we will be moving forward with IVF so that we can use PGD. Due to a chromosomal issue that I carry in my DNA we will have to use IVF so that we can test embryos and only transfer "healthy" ones. We should get a call from our RE on Monday or Tuesday on the results of his conversation with the lab that will be testing the embies, once we talk to him we will have a better idea of the "timeline" so for now I am on BCP.

    QOTW: I love all candy, but I am trying very hard to stay away from all of it this year. I have been steadily gaining weight since the d&c. (up to 132 was 127 when I got my BFP)

  • Congrats to L & R and BellaSera.  Big hugs to magnolia and illiginal.  Good luck mdluv and lyse.

     Update:  ER was today.  They got a total of 7 eggs.  Very happy with that number since they were only expecting 5 total with only 4 mature.  Now just the wait for the first fert report and go from there.

    QOTW: Tough call but I would say, Twix, peanut butter cups and sour patch kids.
