Pregnant after IF

stopping PIO = barftastic?

I am very happy to announce that I am finished with PIO!  No more nightly butt-stabs!  My last one was last night, and I only did 1/4cc.

However, my m/s has kicked in with a vengeance.  Did anyone else get sicker after stopping PIO?  It seems that LO's hormones pack a harder punch than the shots....

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.

    It's been a long journey. TTC since 9/06. multiple IUI's and IVF's and 4 m/c's. IVF#3 = BFP, twins, induced at 34w6d due to baby b passing away (no explanation). Delivered on 35w1d, Baby A - baby girl, and Baby B - baby boy, our little angel.

  • My nausea was pretty constant for the entire first trimester, but I think stopping the PIO gave me a brief reprieve from feeling completely barftastic.  Within a week of being totally off hormones, though, I was feeling crappier than ever Big Smile  The nausea/puking didn't stop for me until 15 weeks... and now that I've said that out loud, I will probably throw up tomorrow morning.

  • Congrats on finishing PIO! I can totally relate - I was sick beginning around 7 weeks, but when I stopped PIO at 10 weeks, my sickness got even worse!  It has subsized a lot, but I still get sick a few times per week. I hope you feel better soon! :) 
    Aug 11 - Nov11: IUI #1,2,3 & 4 BFN
    Jan 12: IVF #1 - BFP!

  • I stopped PIO as well, but am still on the inserts and estrogen pills, so the hormones are still rampant in me...I havent really puked at all yet, just nauseous ALL day. I eat all day to make it go away, and it doesnt.

    It's funny that I had the exact opposite reaction.  (Kobrie, I'm glad I'm not the only one!)  I hope you didn't just jinx yourself, limpetfan...  An IRL friend of mine said hers didn't go away until 16-18 weeks!  But I think she's really the extreme exception.  Hope yours is gone and stays away :)

    I wasn't on PIO, just crinone.  But I stopped that last Thursday and Saturday I was sick as a dog again.  Here's hoping it goes away for us all real quick!! :-)

    Ummmm hello?!?  Congrats Lynda!!!  I've been wondering about your u/s, and was just thinking earlier of writing you to see what was up.  So happy it went well :)  And yay for the end of PIO, I'm still excited every day when I don't have to do it!  Sorry you aren't feeling well, it's frustrating.

    Thanks so much for thinking of me :)  For some reason I'm so much more hesitant to post on PAIF than I was on IF/IFV/3T.  I think it's a mental block.  Like... do I really belong here?  I still feel like an imposter most days!  Maybe I need to get over it and PW it up just a little bit ;)

  • HOLY COW, YES! About two days after PIO stopped at 10w, my m/s really got worse. I was already throwing up 1-2x/day, but I started getting sick an average of 3x/day. I couldn't keep anything down for about 2-3 weeks. Since then, it has tapered off, just as gradually as it got worse. I've had a few days when I did not get sick in the mornings, but I pretty much always throw up or gag while getting ready. 
    TTC in 2009, Dx: Unexplained IF
    Three TI cycles (BFP...miscarriage), five IUI attempts and 2.5 IVF cycles later...BFP!!
    12dp5dt: 765; 15dp5dt: 1979; 17dp5dt: 3379...TWINS!!!!!

    OMG!!  Lynda, I can't tell you the level of stalking that has been going on. ;-)  For some reason your u/s was a milestone for me in a way ... I am SO HAPPY and excited for you all over again.  Sincere congratulations!!

    And congrats to those poor hips for the relief of no more PIO.  Sorry about the barfies...

    Aww sweetie thanks so much :)  You seriously brought tears to my (hormonal) eyes!  It's so good to "see" you, too.  How are you?  What are your plans for the future?  You're one of the people I really miss!

    Yikes that is some intense nausea!  It's strange that our LO's hormones seem to make us sicker than PIO.  I'm so sorry you're still feeling sick... I hope it goes completely away soon.
