Infertility

*steveandkim*

Hey!

Just saw your post asking about questions for your WTF and you mentioned the extreme cramping- well I have this too!  I am so happy to hear someone else who has this problem (well not happy, but you know what I mean)

I have even had the cramping with my IUIs, right around implantation time.  We sound so much alike. 

IVF # 1  22mature/18 fertilze   6 freeze, IVF #2 14 mature/14fertilze and 2 freeze.  I have always made it to a 5dt with amazing looking embryos

I am just wondering if it is an embryo quality issue- I really don't think it can be with those numbers and I have some sort of weird implantation issue.   I asked my first RE about the cramping and was told it was nothing.  I have my WTF with my new RE on Sunday and am asking him about it.  I will let you know if he has any words of wisdom.

I am also going to try to push intralipids.  My RE doesn't do this, but I am going to try to talk him into it.  I feel like at this point we have to try.

  • OMG - it sounds so similar.  I swear my RE thought I was crazy, but I've only had this pain after 1 IUI and all 3 of my ETs.  Its driving me crazy. As soon as I felt it this time I looked at Steve and said it didn't work- the pain was back. I'm talking to my  RE tomorrow on a phone consult so I'll let you know if she has any insights.

    This time I had a new clinic and the embryologist even said they had a hard time picking the best 2 because they were all doing so well.  I know it can be embryo quality too, but I want to make sure we're testing both the embryo and implantation.  It can't be "bad luck" anymore!

    Definitely keep me posted on how things are going (and I'll do the same!).  I really hope this year is great for both of us!

  • I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but on another message board I frequent, I saw a woman mention this too. Her RE gave her valium to take during the 2ww. He said it would help relax her ute and keep it from cramping. I can't remember if she ended up successful or not, but I just thought I would mention it to you.

    ETA: Here is the link.

    I looked at Steve and said it didn't work- the pain was back. I have said those exact same words :(  It's like everytime I feel that pain, I just know it didn't work. 

     It can't be "bad luck" anymore!  no kidding!  I keep saying how could I have transferred 12 "bad" embryos.  No more bad luck!

    Definitely keep me posted on how things are going (and I'll do the same!).  I really hope this year is great for both of us!  I'll let you know how it goes.  I really really hope that we both have an amazing year.  It's time!

  • Thanks so much for the info!  I'm glad to hear other people have this.  After all my years on this board, I never recalled anyone talking about this problem.  I began to think I was a freak of nature (which I may well still be!).
