Re: ~* Nov Turkey Baster Check In! *~

  • Will find out tomorrow afternoon how my embryos are doing and if we'll have the transfer on Saturday or Monday.  

    QOTD:  the worse advice was from a friend after finding out our issue is MFI was to go pick up a hot guy at a bar.   It was said as a joke but still very inappropriate.

  • Thanks again MsGMChick and CoastalChristina for updating these check-ins for us--the time involved to do so has not gone unnoticed!

    Update: 3 embies on board...programmed in the address for PAIF in the GPS.  Automobile  It's a large van, so I'm hoping we can all ride there together...I'll drive.

    QOTD: It took a long time for me to share with any of my girlfriends about our IF journey.  I tested the waters with my friend who was a nurse prior to our first cycle in August.  She didn't try to give me any advice, but she did warn me that we could end up with twins if we do IVF.  OMG I HAD NO IDEA.  Surprise

  • Update: Not much except the 2ww driving me craycray. I'm 9dpo and cramping on and off the last day or so. FX! Also, took my mom to the ER via 911 again- Wooooo! This time she was admitted and is still there. She started having seizures which she's never had before and arrhythmias from severely low potassium levels. They replaced the potassium but can't keep it up- it keeps falling. This is one way to test the, "Does Stress Effect the 2WW"? LOL

    QOTD: Oh there's so many... Someone once told me if MH knew he wasn't suppose to pull out? Um, wow. I have another friend who's PAIF now and she once got told but a DOCTOR that her H should pull out "half way through" because all the good guys are at the front. Again, no. There's much research to say that bigger orgasms and the end of the group are "better" and pull from further in.

  • My ET is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:45am! Of the 5 eggs retrieved, 3 fertilized. We are waiting till tomorrow morning to see how they are doing to decide how many to transfer.

    QOTD - I don't know if it really counts as TTC advice..... but my mom doesn't quite understand how badly we want a second child. She often times tell us we should "cut our losses" and just be thankful for the daughter we have.

  • Tomorrow is my second beta. First one at 10dp5dt was 104. I'm not feeling any symptoms today, although the past few days I've been nauseas on and off and had heartburn. No sore boons but I feel really bloated. Grr, I hate IF! Why do I have to worry so much?! >:}

    qotd: someone told me to carry around nuts as they symbolize fertility. Koo koo! 

    ETA : Beta#2 at 12dp5dt was 330 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Hi Ladies! I am now in the 2ww... Retrieval was on the 21st, ET was this past Tuesday on the 27th.  Beta will be 12/5!! 

     

    QOTD: not much outside of the regular, "Just relax," "why don't you adopt, I had a friend who adopted and came back and found out she was pregnant," "Maybe it's not meant to be,"  and mostly the "get drunk and stand on your head for an hour" 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • Beta is tomorrow. I have not POAS. DH and I both took off tomorrow and honestly we are terrified of that phone call. I have no idea, intuition, nothing regarding whether this worked or not. Aaaaaahhhhh....

    Q: I was advised to make sure I am having really good sex. Yeahhhh..unfortunately DH's swimmers don't multiply in number if we have a great sack session. Although that would be AWESOME.

    GL to all the Basters and hugs to those who need them!

  • Hi basters. ET was this morning and I got the shock of my life. I had three good embryos and one still growing in the lab. I transferred three and I'm hoping this will get me to a BFP. Thank you ladies for all your support over the past couple of days I've been a wreck. Congrats to the basters that received BFPs and I'm sending hugs to those that need them.

    QOTD I've heard so many if we went on a vacation we would get pregnant. If we relaxed it would happen. Neither if these are going ti help our severe MFI. Perhaps my favorite is why spend all this money and be selfish to have your own child. There are a lot of children that need homes in foster care or we should adopt.

    Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

    IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

  • In the 2WW, trying to become patient, which is totally against my nature Stick out tongue

    QOTD: Someone told me that we should put two in so I can get it overwith in one shot, BECAUSE being pregnant is not FUN. (Thanks for totally not getting that is the whole point of this journey and not realizing how greatful I would be to have the chance)

    Best of Luck

  • ER is tomorrow but I think we are likely going to have to freeze and transfer later.  My E2 was too.  We also want to do genetic testing on the embryos if it is possible.  I've been torn on this for the fragile x (I am intermediate risk).

    Good luck to everyone.  ((hugs)) to those that need it.

    12/1: met with RE to discuss trying for #2


  • Still grieving a bit over here, but I laughed at "turkey angels"!

    I had an inconclusive u/s Tuesday, but they went ahead and told me to stop all meds, and today my number was down to 122. Hope it drops quickly, as hormones are making my face looks like a big ugly pizza. Another u/s tomorrow, not really sure why at this point.

    My lab is closed 12/20 to 1/8 so we are definitely out until the new year. hopefully lucky 13?!

    My wonderful husband is taking me out to sushi tomorrow and scheduled me a massage at The Four Seasons on Saturday.

    Qotd: this weekend someone told be to make sure to orgasm after my husband so the contractions draw the sperm upwards and into the uterus. And this from someone knowing we are doing ivf. Wtf?!

    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

  • I'm PUPO!!!!!!!!! Transferred one embie this am! Taking it easy over the weekend. Going in Monday for bloodwork to check progesterone level. Then beta on December 10th!!!!!

    QOTD: I hate hearing.....oh just relax and it will happen. Lol....some ppl really don't have a clue about IF. 

    Warning No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
  • I'm still in the 2ww crazyland!  Beta is next Wednesday and feels years away...hoping for a busy weekend so I can't think of anything else.  I want to test, DH says NO!  Ohhhh....what shall I do.

    QOTD- My friend sent me a link with ways to get pregnant by changing my diet....ya know because a medical diagnosis wasn't proof enough that it wasn't our fault.  Same friend also told me to make sure I O'd during the deed because that suctioned the good sperm into my body. 

    I think I need new friends. :O

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

  • I think I've probably heard mostly all of the "Advice"....drink this, eat this, put a pillow under your butt. The funniest one though was when my Uncle suggested I find a surrogate like his son (my cousin)'s wife did. She had the surrogate carrying triplets and then got pregnant and was able to carry full term....so now it must be so....surrogate=pregnancy. LOL
    Me: 33, Endocrine issues & FVL       DH: 32, Nothing 
    NTNP 2009-2012         TTC since 2012:
    • Clomid, 2 IUI cycles, and 5 IVF cycles = BFN

    • Jack dx at 19w1d with Dandy Walker on 12/16/13
    • Severe Pre-e /HELLP set in Jack born sleeping at 20w1d on 12/23/13
    • FET #2 --July 2014  BFP!  ---  EDD  4/5/15

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker
  • We go in for our first U/S on Dec 5! So far so good.... 

     

    QOTD: A lady heard our story, about how DH had cancer and that's our reason for infertility (complication from surgery, then followed by radiation). She said, to my husband, "Well, you've had cancer... Why would you even WANT to have kids? Why put them through that?" Excuse me? This type of cancer isn't passed down from parent to child, it's not a genetic thing, and he's been 100% cancer free since his surgery so he's going to be fine... Wth lady...

  • MsGMChick-You my dear rock for doing this!!!! <3

    Update: I have my betas on Moday, which is the day after my 35th birthday.

    I have honered hubbs request not to poas, and just wait til Monday. He did not want a replay of last cycle when I tested, and then was miserable for days before Beta. I am actually really glad I am not poas. I had cramps and tiny tiny brown streaking in with my crione gel for a good part of Moday morning, then nothing all week.

    Today I started cramping and I feel so bloated. FX for Monday. I have been fighting allergies or a cold all week.

    I think I pretty much got all the advice that is crazy, relax, get drunk it will happen, adopt then it will happen. Now the new thing is oh after you have a kid through IVF, you will ahve one naturally right after. People mean well I guess.

    Update: Not much except the 2ww driving me craycray. I'm 9dpo and cramping on and off the last day or so. FX! Also, took my mom to the ER via 911 again- Wooooo! This time she was admitted and is still there. She started having seizures which she's never had before and arrhythmias from severely low potassium levels. They replaced the potassium but can't keep it up- it keeps falling. This is one way to test the, "Does Stress Effect the 2WW"? LOL

    QOTD: Oh there's so many... Someone once told me if MH knew he wasn't suppose to pull out? Um, wow. I have another friend who's PAIF now and she once got told but a DOCTOR that her H should pull out "half way through" because all the good guys are at the front. Again, no. There's much research to say that bigger orgasms and the end of the group are "better" and pull from further in. 

    I am so sorry your mom has been not well, and hoping for them to get her better! Big hugs you have so much on ya, but you are handling well. <3 I got everything crossed for you!

    Beta is tomorrow. I have not POAS. DH and I both took off tomorrow and honestly we are terrified of that phone call. I have no idea, intuition, nothing regarding whether this worked or not. Aaaaaahhhhh.... Q: I was advised to make sure I am having really good sex. Yeahhhh..unfortunately DH's swimmers don't multiply in number if we have a great sack session. Although that would be AWESOME. GL to all the Basters and hugs to those who need them!

    I have EVERYTHING crossed for you lady!!!!! I can't believe beta is tom. I am so terrified of that call, my hubbs took off of work on Monday, they are great aren't they!!!! GL hun I will be rooting for ya! <3

    Still grieving a bit over here, but I laughed at "turkey angels"! I had an inconclusive u/s Tuesday, but they went ahead and told me to stop all meds, and today my number was down to 122. Hope it drops quickly, as hormones are making my face looks like a big ugly pizza. Another u/s tomorrow, not really sure why at this point. My lab is closed 12/20 to 1/8 so we are definitely out until the new year. hopefully lucky 13?! My wonderful husband is taking me out to sushi tomorrow and scheduled me a massage at The Four Seasons on Saturday. Qotd: this weekend someone told be to make sure to orgasm after my husband so the contractions draw the sperm upwards and into the uterus. And this from someone knowing we are doing ivf. Wtf?!

    I am giving you the biggest hugs ever, I was so rooting for you, and I know the new year should be better than ever for hopefully everyone!!!!!! <3 Stay encouraged

  • Had our first ultrasound at 6w2d today. We have one perfect baby and an empty sac. Too soon to tell if it is a vanishing twin or a hiding twin. Either way, I'm thrilled! :-)

    QOTW: Worst "advice" was to stop trying. Because you know how having bad timing will somehow work out better ;-)

    Good luck to everyone.
