We did an IVF transfer on April 23, I started to test out both my trigger and booster shot the next day. I wasn't testing daily but every couple of days, and the line got so faint it was hardly there. Then it started getting darker, the tests I took yesterday and today the lines were almost as dark as the control line! I go for betas tomorrow, so I'm pretty sure this is it!
I am oddly calm. I guess because I'm taking Lovenox, and the main reason for my losses was a clotting problem. They had me start it the day of transfer.
About me and my loss history...DH and I got married June 2009 and decided to start TTC right away. Well I ecstatic to find out I came home from our honeymoon pregnant. Then a week later I started bleeding and had a natural m/c. Then it took a whole year and clomid to get our second BFP for our anniversary in June 2010. I had another natural m/c two weeks later, my OB/GYN and her nurse were awful! No bedside manner, when the nurse called me to tell me I was m/c-ing she just blurted out oh, um have you started bleeding yet? You're having a m/c. So that was the end of that office for me! The new OB/GYN actually listened to me and said he thought I should see an RE because my regular DR thought I may have Hashimoto's. So November 2010, we went to the RE. It turns out I have APS, hypothyroid, and was insulin intolerant. In the middle of testing we got a surprise BFP in early February 2011, only to end up being a c/p. Then I battled with my betas to go to 0 for 2 months, they kept going up and down, but never got high enough to see anything on an u/s, so after being "threatened" with laparoscopy/D&C I started bleeding and my levels finally went to 0. Then we did a failed IUI, then the RE wanted to do an exploratory Laparoscopy and removed a small fibroid and found that my right tube was blocked. That was in August 2011, then he said to try on our own for a couple of months. We tried until January 2012 and nothing...so we went back to the RE in February. The RE we had been seeing left the practice and we started seeing the one that founded the practice, love him by the way. He suggested after all we had been through and all the time/money (OOP for all IF) spent we do IVF. So we planned for the April cycle, retrieval was the 19th, and we got 8 really good eggs all of which fertilized! So they decided to do a day 5 transfer. We transferred 2 very healthy blastocysts on April 23rd. Now here I am cautiously making an intro on PgAL!
I want to thank all of the lovely ladies on TTCAL and TTCAL6+. I never would have kept my sanity without you all. A special thanks and extra love to my IVF check-in ladies! I can't wait to update you all with my betas tomorrow afternoon. Today I am pregnant and I love my baby. Just typing that brings tears to my eyes. If you made it through this you deserve a delicious treat!
