Dear Prometrium...

in Trouble TTC
Even if I get a BFN on Saturday, can I keep the boobs?
Sincerely,
a member of the IBTC (ittybittytittycommittee)
How are all my other 2ww ladies doing? What are your symptoms? Are you planning on POAS'ing or waiting until beta?
The progesterone side effects are annoying in the way they mimic pregnancy symptoms -- I've had mild nausea since starting the Prometrium (pre-ET). Also eating like a horse. And then of course I've got the bigger boobs, which I really wouldn't mind keeping (and neither would DH -- too bad he can't really enjoy them right now). I've had cramping off and on since ET -- or ER, really, not much to go on either way.
I resisted the urge to PIAC when I woke up in the middle of the night last night. I'm waiting until beta so I can get it over with all at once and not have any more stress than absolutely necessary!
Severe MFI. Me: supposedly all clear but eggs showed vacuoles.
IVF #1 January 2012, ER Jan 14th: 34R, 27M, 23F. Day 3: 18 embies still strong. Day 5: zero "good," one "fair," the rest "poor." Transferred 3. None made it to blast or to freeze. Jan 28: BFN.
Lucky IVF #2: Transferred two beautiful day three embies on St. Patrick's Day. BFP on HPT 7dp3dt. Beta 1 (14dpER)=106; Beta 2 (16dpER)=140; Beta 3 (19dpER)=264! First u/s 4.17.

IVF #1 with ICSI - ER 1/20 (16R, 12M, 10F), ET 1/23 (1-10 cell and 1-8cell transferred), BFP on 1/31 Beta #1 on 2/3 = 68, Beta #2 on 2/6 = 261 EDD 10/12/12
I had a reduction too! Best thing I ever did!
Lynda, enjoy the boobs! I hope you keep them for the next 9 months. And way to go for not POAS. I'm thinking about you. Good luck!
After more than 2 years of fertility treatments, FET did the trick!
IVF March 2012 - BFP! - Severe OHSS = 8 days in the hospital in kidney failure
No heartbeat at 10w6d
FET August 27,2012 = BFP!
It's a boy!

Hahaha!
I don't want to give you false hope, but I feel I must tell you this... I am also a member of the "small boobs" club, and I actually had to go out and buy bigger bras after my last IVF didn't work. My boobs never shrunk all the way back down, and it's been 3 months! It was the one small victory I've had in this so far
Me = lean PCOS;DH = poor morphology (3%)
3 IUI/TI cycles = BFN
IVF #1 with ICSI: antagonist protocol = BFFN
IVF #2 with ICSI : Lupron downregulation = BFFN...FML
IVF #3 with ICSI and AH (Antagonist) = IT'S A BOY!!!!
There's hope! I assumed they'd go right back down after I stopped the supps... but if I don't get a BFP, at least I might end up with a consolation prize...

Hi,
Not sure if you remember me or not...I'm easing in from a two month bumpbreak...but I'm on IUI#3...My beta is Monday...I'm also too terrified to POAS :-( I really love your letter to prometrium. The first two times I was on it I had the big boobs and appetite like you describe...I don't know what my deal is this time, but they haven't changed at all! WTH!? On the plus side, I don't get the soreness either.
I don't have any symptoms. Maybe a little bit of cramping or sloshy feelings every now and again...but I'm REALLY trying to stay optimistic.
I'll end my nervous rambling by saying good luck to the both of us.
