Re: ** Harvest Hopefuls Check In 11/24 **

  • Were getting down to the wire now and Im getting terrified. I start lovely Pio tonight along with medrol and zpack. I stopped lupron yesterday and will be lowering my patches in a couple days. They start thawing my 2pns tomorrow and then we hope for 3 on weds to transfer! I feel so anxious like if it hasnt worked the past couple times why would it now.

    Qotd: its snowy here too but if I went somewhere warm Id go to St. Lucia! We almost decided to go for christmas but chose europe instead..so excited!

  • I had my ER last week and am awaiting day 5 report tomorrow. We are a freeze all for CCS testing so we aren't transferring anytime soon. Qotd: It is freezing cold here already, so I'd go anywhere warm. Cabo is one of our faves. Kauai sounds lovely. I also want to go to Bali...

  • ER was yesterday and we just got our fert report. Out of 10 retrieved, 9 were mature and 8 fertilized!! I started Endometrin this morning and ET should be Friday. I'd kill for a tropical vacation right about now, preferably somewhere in the Carribean. It's 27 degrees and windy here today.

    ***SIGGY/TICKER WARNING***

    TTC since September 2012 ~ DH(32): Non-obstructive azoospermia, Me(32): Normal

    10/13 - TESE found sperm!! ~ 11/13 - IVF w/ ICSI #1 ~ ER 11/23/13 ~ 10 R, 9 M, 8 F

    ET 11/29/13 ~ Transferred 2 beautiful hatching blasts, 5 frosties

    12/5/13 -  BFP!!! Beta #1 (12/7/13) - 189  Beta #2 (12/9/13) - 401 Beta #3 5871

    12/16/13 U/S #1 - TWINS!! EDD - August 16, 2014 ~ 7/19/14 - Our beautiful baby girls joined the world!

  • My ER was Wednesday. We got 5 eggs (more than expected), all were mature and 4 fertilized. We found out yesterday that all 4 grew enough to be biopsied for PGS! Tomorrow we will get those results and hopefully freeze these embryos. Being DOR, we are doing a freeze all and will cycle again and hopefully do a fresh transfer then.

    QOTW: We live in South Dakota, which is basically an artic tundra for six months. I'd go anywhere warm, but it would be cool to stay in one of the floating beach huts.

  • HeatherHam- exciting that your transfer is coming up! Yay! 

    J&D, I'm keeping fingers crossed for a great day 5 report.


    QOTD: its VERY cold here too, some place like AZ or So Cal would be nice I bet! Not so in to international travel or the hassle of a super long flight.

    As for me, I missed the last check in but my beta did double on Wednesday--they are happy with how things are going right now. Next step is an ultrasound but have to wait > 2 weeks, which seems scary.

    I got my first BFP ever. Beta is tmrw. I'm trying to contain my excitement... to be cautious. I'm also thinking - whole family will be here in 3 days and I'm not sure I'm ready to announce it (except my mom who I called right away). My family (mothers side) are all big Irish drinkers ;-) and I'm usually the one who breaks out the Ja.meson! QOTD: I'm in NC and it was mid 70s four days ago... now 20s w/ windchill! Ugh, get me to the Caribbean for sure!
    Good luck for a strong Beta tomorrow.  Congrats on your +hpt.

    I've never turned down a glass of wine.  Pending Beta on Tuesday, I think I am going to show up with a fake can of energy drink (I'm going to refill it with something I can drink) and either accept the first glass of wine or fake it with flat cherry 7up. (We always have bottles of white zinfandel floating around)  If I'm not jinxing myself, we're waiting for a Christmas reveal.

  • So, I had a + HPT yesterday.  I also got a + on the digital...that is what it took for DH to really believe it was real (he likes his electronics).  I'm freaking out whenever I feel like I am 'leaking' but luckily, so far it has only been from the Endometrin.  Beta is Tuesday.


    Beta Buddy!  Good luck for a strong Beta on Tuesday, and congrats on the + hpt!

  • Nothing much going on here. Today marks going in to week 5, so I have an apple seed now. Our first ultrasound is Tuesday, so I am nervous about that.

    QOTD: It snowed here last night as well...sooo not ready for that yet! I would go back to Belize, where we honeymooned. Beautiful and warm!

    I'm doing the same meds tonight and tomorrow morning but dropping my gonal f to a lower dose tomorrow night. (This is different from my first IVF cycle so maybe this will be better...who knows). I have anothe US Tuesday morning. I was supposed to do my HCG trigger Tuesday night but I'm thinking ER will be pushed off a day or two. This isn't a surprise since I stimmed longer than expected first cycle. 

     QOTD: We currently live in FL and today was the first cooler day we have had....68 and breezy. No lie, we were chilly haha. I would totally take a trip to bora bora and stay in one of those huts over the water any day.
    2013- 2 IVF cycles with PGD to prevent genetic disorder from being passed on. Both BFFN :(

  • Day 8 of stims and us today only showed three measurable follies...ugh. But there are still 6 more little one so I am sooooooo praying they all grow. I guess slow and steady wins the race right? And I know that quality, not quantity is what matters most. I have to stim for four more days then us and bloodwork Thursday. Hopefully will be ready to trigger then and have lots of follies for a retrieval Saturday. These meds are really getting to me (I'm on 300 units of follistim and 150 menopur and 5 Lupron) I've been nauseous on and off and bloated and weepy! I balled my eyes out going into the RE office because I was nervous and on my way out because I was hoping for a lot more follies. I keep saying it but it's so hard to stay positive!
    TTC 2 years- Me and DH (28) with (severely) low sperm count- less than 40 total (last 2 SA showed only 5 and 6 sperm each)
    IVF #1: ER 1/23/13- 4 eggs retrieved, 3 eggs fertilized; ET with 1 embryo 1/28/13 2 frosties beta #1 2/5 was 4.8- beta #2 2/7 3.5; BFN
    FET #1- transferred one beautiful 4AA embie. Praying this is my take home baby. Beta 5/7/13- BFFN!!!
    IVF #2: ER 7/17/13: 6R/3F- transferred 1 blast and 1 10 cell embryo 5dt.   Beta hell.  #1 2.5, #2 2.2- BFFFN! REALLY?
    IVF #3: ER 12/1 and only 2 retrieved.  1 fertilized with ICSI.  Was planning on transferring one fresh and one frozen....fresh was only 14 cells at day 5...CANCELLED and devastated due to 5cm blood filled cyst in ovary and blood in uterus.
    IVF #4: Antagonist protocol with endometrial scratch day one of stims.  ER 4/21: 6R/4M/3F- transferred 2 beautiful blasts (5dt) and one was hatching!  No frosties but hoping we won't need it!  Beta 5/4/14- 444(8dp5dt), Beta #2 10dp5dt 1002!  THIS HAS GOT TO BE IT!!!!!!!!!!  First US 5/15 we saw two of the most beautiful gestational and yolk sacs I have ever seen!  
    ****FINALLY PREGNANT WITH DI/DI TWINS!!!!!!!  

    BRINLEY AND RILEY LONG.  Born November 20, 2014 at 32 wks 3 days.  4lbs7oz and 4lbs5oz.  1 month NICU time for "B's" and growing and feeding.  Now healthy, thriving, beautiful little girls!

  • Hello ladies! Congrats to all the harvest hopeful BFP's! GL to all the upcoming betas!!

    I had my 3rd monitoring apt this morning for my upcoming FET #2 and my lining is at a 6. I was told to increase my estrace to 2mg 3x a day now and going back on Wednesday and they said I should be ready by then and transfer should be a green light for Dec 3!!! The estrace is killing me though I'm so emotional!! We got a credit from sleepys for our bed bc we've had it for 2 years and there's 6 inch devits (sp?) on both sides so we got a credit for the full amount. I still love my old mattress even though I'm sore every morning! So today they bring our new Tempurpedic (which I'm still up in the air about!? Thank god for 90 day trial!!!) and take our old mattress and I cried like a baby about my old mattress!!! Pathetic.

    QOTD: I'll go anywhere warm and Caribbean at this point lol. But would love to go to bora bora or Tahiti and stay in hut over the water!! Or would love to go to Hawaii. Unfortunately DH hates flying so we don't travel much :-/

  • @rlk2, I've been feeling the same too and havent had much of an appetite because of it. I was feeling down after my US today as well and am getting really anxious the closer I get to ER. It was supposed to be wednesday but its getting pushed back i think so my follies can grow more. Plus, I feel like I'm in limbo waiting to find out when ER is actually going to take place. So annoying! I'm hoping your other follies get their rears in gear and start growing! FX!

  • I triggered last night and go in for ER tomorrow at 9:15 AM! I'm nervous because we have to drive 1.5 to the clinic and winter weather is supposed to head our way over night (although I keep hearing different reports about snow vs. rain).

    QOTD: I'd love to go back to Antigua. We are going to Mexico in January so that'll have to do. :-)

     TTC since August 2011, Me = 40, DH = 38
    Unexplained IF. Tried Clomid for 3 cycles. All BFNs. BFP 1/6/13. Chemical pregnancy.

    Moving on to IVF#1. ER 11/26/13, 16 eggs retreived, 12 mature and all fertilized. 2 blasts transferred on 12/1. All other embies arrested so nothing left to freeze. Beta 12/10 = BFN. IVF #2 March 2014. BFP!!! TEAM BLUE!!!

  • Halle, I am very sorry.  Sending prayers your way.

    I a having fun testing out my triggger shot with hpts daily.  Today, it is still there but can barely be seen.  So perhaps tomorrow there will be no little pink line.  After I get the empty hpt, I will wait a day and then start testing for the real thing......I know it will be early, but it is keeping me occupied with something to look forward to until Beta on Dec 4th.  Our chances of this having worked are exceptionally slim - but you never know!

    QOTD: I don't really want to go to a different location at the moment, but absolutely adore the spring when the humidity level starts going way up & the bulbs pop out of the ground, peeking to see if the snow banks are actually gone.
  • So sorry Halle!  :(

    I'm just enjoying the 2WW... Jk!! Omg, it is very hard to be patient. I am now 7dp3dt and can test next Mon, Dec 2!! I've had bloating and lower abdominal cramps everyday since the transfer. I'm assuming it's a side effect of the Crinone (progesterone). For the first two days I had muscles aches so bad I just wanted to lie down (mainly back/neck). Anyone else have similar symptoms?

    QOTD: Mexico! We're thinking to take a trip there in February when it will still be plenty cold!!

  • Beta tomorrow.  I work late tonight and already don't know how to stay focused today and tomorrow.  If it wasn't Thanksgiving week, I would never have worked on Beta day, but I plan on hiding my phone until I am at a point where I can leave if necessary when I get tomorrow's message.

    QOTD:  I'd stay put.  I live in Central California and it gets just cold enough here.  I spend evenings in the couch, wrapped in a blanket.

    hello Pumpkins, Congrats on those with the BFP this week. Hugs to those who need them. I am now 5dp5dt. Its killing me. I am going crazy. Thinking Beta or bust but don't know how long I can hold out. Honestly I am feeling kinda down right now, hopefully that's just the estrogen and PIO messing with my emotions.

    forgot the QOTD: I live in So cali and its been in the 40's in the mornings. I know this is not as cold as where some of you lovely ladies are. I cannot handle the cold. Its not even that bad here and I am working with gloves on my fingers! I am a big baby. If I could go anywhere right now I would go back to Cabo. I was there a year ago this week and it was 90 degrees and beautiful!

  • Well, go ahead and add me to the BFN list. I heard back today that our four embryos won't make it to freeze. One arrested and the other three are complex abnormal after PGS testing.

    I think I'm just stunned to have spent the money and gone through this emotionally and physically and have nothing. I really got my hopes up about having something to bank when I heard we had four growing embryos.
