Charlotte Hannah -born 8/13/13.

Re: ~* IVF Baster's Check In!! *~

  • FET was yesterday, transferred two, one B "good," and C "average." I now can truly understand all of the 2ww posts..I am going insane already!

    Q: I am thankful for many things..an amazing husband, wonderful family and friends, great job, etc. IF can really dull my senses to all of that at times. Thanksgiving is a great time to be thankful for everything we do have even if it doesn't include a baby..yet!!

    Loving all the BFPs! Go Basters, let's keep it going!
    TTC since June 2011
    DX: DH (30) severe MFI, severely low count & low motility
    Me (32): all clear
    Appt with Urologist 5/21/12: exam, ultrasound, bloodwork all normal.
    Testicular Biopsy with TESE on 6/8/12. good sperm found! (left side only) froze sperm, failed thaw test :(
    Orientation for IVF/ICSI on 6/13/12. Waiting for the green light following biopsy results...results show adequate sperm production both sides.
    2nd SA 6/18/12: sample is "adequate for ICSI"
    Plan: IVF/ICSI July 2012!
    ER: 7/26/12. 15 eggs retrieved, all mature.
    TESE/TESA/aspiration from epididymis, no motile sperm found :(
    froze all eggs, the saga of praying for good sperm continues.
    8/3/12: 2nd opinion from MFI uro on biopsy slides. Suspects "partial late maturation arrest."
    Plan: more SAs, third biopsy/TESE with frozen back-up either from DH or DS.
    SA 8/17/12: Zero sperm
    SA 8/23/12: Zero sperm
    9/26/12: SPERM FOUND! 15 eggs thawed, 12 survived and were ICSI'd, only 3 fertilized normally. Refrozen as embies and will thaw in Nov. Please survive and grow!
    All 3 survived the thaw on 11/15/12!
    FET 11/17/12: transferred 2, one 4B, one 4C. Beta 11/30:BFFN
    moving on to DS
    DIUI#1 2/18/13,50mg Clomid cd 3-7, Ovidrel trigger, Beta 3/4/13: BFN.
    DIUI#2 3/19/13, 50 mg Clomid cd 3-7, Ovidrel trigger, Beta #1 (14dpiui) 4/2/13: BFP!!!! 150. Beta #2 4/4/13: 420 Beta #3 4/8/13: 2691. Beta #4 4/15/13: 15,086
    1st u/s 4/8/13 shows one gestational sac

  • I'm on day two of stims.  So far I've had a horrible headache since day one of Lupron and now Im just so tired all the time.  Last night I slept from 5:30pm to 8:30am this morning and I feel like I could go back to bed.

     

    QOTD:
    Other than IVF, what are you thankful for?

    1)  That my FIL's results came back normal (no cancer.)

    2) For my loving husband who has been doing a great job with all of my shots, and going out of his way for me during this time.

    3)  For my friends and family.

    QOTD I'm thankful for so much this year. My mom is doing well with her chemo and has three treatments left in this cycle. Some wonderful ladies on here donated meds that I can't thank them enough for and I'm incredibly grateful to them. I'm thankful for my husband and family and friends too!

    I'm still in the dreaded 2ww, but it's almost over.  I will probably POAS tomorrow.

    QOTD:  I am thankful for my husband.  He took a new job this year for the main reason of earning more money to help pay for treatments.  But he commutes VERY far to work, it's high stress and most days he works over 11 hours a day.  He's an amazing man and I'm truly blessed to be his wife.  :)

  • Today is 9dpER/9dpo ...or 6dp3dt...however you want to look at it. Tested out the trigger it was gone so now its time to wait and get cray cray. Yesterday I had a major cramp on my left side for about 10min. Not quite sure if it was an implantation cramp or just some trapped gas....uggg. Last night I had a hormonal headache and backache so I was feeling sorta down in the dumps but when I woke up this morning they were both gone so beats me.

    Beta is on Friday....eeeps

     

    I'm thankful for a lot of things. My loving husband, my new home, a supportive network of friends and family....and my dog, LOL

  • Hi girls! I can't believe how many BFPs we have!! FX for those in the 2ww. :)

    Update: My last U/S was yesterday. I ended up with six 17s, a 14, a 12, and a 10. I did one last night of stims last night (so I'm hoping the 14 will catch up) and will trigger tonight at 11pm. My ER is Tuesday and ET will be Friday or Sunday. I'm so excited and nervous. Nothing so far has gone like we thought it would with this IVF. Beta is 12/7, or 17dpER- YUCK!

    QOTD: I'm really thankful for my husband and his ability to navigate my crazy :) I'm also thankful that my mom is still here after being dx with stage 3b stomach cancer in July.

  • Hi, basters!  Looks like I'll be triggering tonight, with ER on Tuesday 11/20.  I'm ready to be done with the stimming phase -- they let my follies get extra-large so I've been doing this for 10 days.  My boobs hurt, my lower back hurts, and I just want to get to the big reveal where I find out if I have any mature eggs.

    QOTD:  I have so much in life to be thankful for -- my wonderful husband, a good family, a good job, material comforts, etc. etc.  Even taking IF into account I've been very lucky in life.  I try to keep that in mind when I start feeling sorry for myself.  :-) 

  • Hi All!!

    I triggered last night and have ER tomorrow at 740. Excited to see how many mature eggs I have... My follicles ranged from 1823mm and estradiol was 2200. I have a lot going on in there. : I don't feel nervous about anything yet.

    I'm thankful for a lot, but family is on the top of that list right now. I'm very blessed!

    Me- 32, DH- 32- TTC for 4 Years

We have 8 frosties and I honestly don't even see the point in continuing this if I supposedly have no problems and yet our best looking blasto didn't take.

    QOTD: I'm thankful for my husband. He's amazing.

     

    I am so sorry, Firefly!! Fingers are triple crossed for your beta Tuesday. I really hope this is it for you but don't count out those 8 frosties! I have seen many failed IVFs with perfect blasts followed by successful FETs. Perhaps your body is just under too much stress still from ER. Don't give up! I am pulling for you!

    I am so sorry Firefly062. Give yourself sometime to grieve before making the decision to give up. I hope your 8 frosties will bring you your take home baby if you decide to continue your journey.

  • Have continued to get positives on home tests every day (yes, I am crazy!). My beta is tomorrow and I am SO nervous. Fortunately I've kept busy all weekend so haven't been thinking about it too much.

    Fingers crossed for something extra to be thankful for.

    Things I am already thankful for: my great family and husband, and their health, and my career - I really think work keeps me sane most of the time!


    Me: 35, DH: 34, Started TTC #1 since November '11
    Several Clomid/Femara rounds, then fresh IVF September '12
    Fresh IVF #1: chemical pregnancy, FET #1: ectopic, methotrexate
    FET #2 resulted in our amazing baby boy Levi, born on 11/3/13 at 8 lbs, 5 oz. He is our everything!

  • Congrats to all the BFPs and hugs to those who need them. A big FUIF, from all.

    Update: Today's monitoring appointment showed 10 follies; the biggest was at 10mm, so that's the only one they measured. Looks like the pedal to the metal with GonalF recruited a few more follicles...hope they stick around!

    QOTD: I'm thankful for my wonderful husband, family and a Redskins win today.

  • Yeah! For all the BFP's. Hugs to all who could use one. 

    I had my retrieval today. They got nine, which is four more than last time. My Dr. said they looked great. Better than last time and thinks we were perfect on the trigger time this cycle.

    Looking forward to a good Fert report tomorrow and ET on Thanksgiving.

     I am thankful for so much. My husband who is so patient with me. My family and friends for their awesome support. While I certainly wish we were not in this position I am thankful we were able to come up with funds to do IVF. I wasn't sure that would even be possible!

  • I am late on my update. Had another monitoring appointment, we have made it to 19mm! So now I am waiting for the RE office to call and tell me when to trigger.
    I have crazy lower back pain and am ready for the next step!

    Thankful for my husband he is truely a great man and my rock, our families and hopefully our growing additions.

    Best wishes to all!!

  • Hey Ladies,  Looks like it is me and pbj1975 left.  I had b/w and u/s today.  The tech said she didn't see any cysts or anything to hold up starting stims tonight.  I am just hanging tight for the call from the nurse.  I have to set up my pre-op appointment as well.  Hopefully my name will move up today to the stim category!

     QOTD: So much to be thankful for. Most is my DH (who is completely involved in the process and insists on doing all the shots) and my supportive family.  I am thankful for this site for answering all my questions and making feel less alone in the process and the knot (who helped with plan our Vegas wedding).

  • I got my BFP on 6dp5dt.  Was able to go in for an early beta Sat and second beta today and it doubled. Sigh of relief, we are now further that our last attempt ending in c/p.  Now I just need to get through the next two hurdles of 7 weeks and 12 weeks before I can start to actually enjoy this.

    QOTD--I am thankful that my beta's doubled and my GF who has offered us all their old kids stuff furniture, etc that she has been hanging on to for us.  She has been a huge support system for me through all this. I've learned pretty much none of my other friends come close to understanding all this.

    TTC since 2008, our little miracle arrived July 2013!

  • I am officially in the 2WW and PUPO with twins! ET was today at 12:30, they transferred one "excellent" blastocyst and another that looked very good.  The full bladder was the worst part, I was so uncomfortable and literally in some of the worst pain of my life! So glad that is over!  I am home resting now. We should find out tomorrow if our one remaining embryo was strong enough to freeze.

     Good luck to everyone on this journey, we are so lucky to have this & other boards!

    QOTD: I am thankful for my supportive husband, and my family and friends who have been praying and hoping right along with us through this whole journey.
