O2girl · March 2014

Good morning ladies.

You are all in my thoughts. Congrats to the BFPs, fx for those in the 2ww, and hugs to everyone who needs them.

AFM: 5dp5dt and I'm fighting every urge I have in my body to give into the HPT monster. I'm still beta or bust because I feel like I would rather have the bandage ripped off once vs rip it of and put it back on then rip it off and so forth like I did last time. Mustering positive thoughts is proving difficult for me

Qotd: my hubby just planted my trees that I got from the Arbor Day foundation (I received them the day of my transfer so I'm hoping that is good juju). I purchased 2 red Maples, 2 quaking aspens, and one pink flowering dogwood tree.... Can't wait to see these beauties take off!

SCSmith2011 · March 2014

Good morning ladies!

My beta is Wednesday. And I'm beta or bust. I've been feeling like my boobs are less sore and have started to prepare myself for the worst. But of course as I sit here at work I feel like my boobs have gottern more sore. So I dunno what to think.

QOTD: I look forward to planting. This weekend we plante some pansies in the containers on our front porch. Of course this week the temps are dipping back into the 20s and there's a chance of snow tomorrow so I may have jumped the gun on planting but I was just so tired of all the brown.

ejrobbi · March 2014

Good Morning ladies, I am 5dp5dt and I did test this morning and it was negative... I am hoping it is still early. Thoughts?

Tomorrow is my 31st birthday, I have tried celebrating but really not feeling up to it this year. My mom came and stayed late last week with everything going on and her and my husband have been wonderful but I am still a bit down, I really am hopeful since we are almost out of time. (our fertility insurance is running out in June).

QOTD: Usually my birthday is the first nice day but it's supposed to be 20 and snowy here in Chicago tomorrow soo... it doesn't feel like spring yet to me. However, we moved into our first house last August and I am dying to start a garden this year so that's what i am most excited about.

ExoticAntibiotic · March 2014

I'm a BFN. And I hope to be the last one - good luck, ladies!! No more BFNs, no angels, just lots of lucky babies.

happygirl1013 · March 2014

O2girl - beta or bust! you can do it!

SCSmith2011- good luck Wednesday, I'll be thinking about you and sending positive thoughts.

ejrobbi- It might be too early. I hope you get a good beta this week, FX for you!

ExoticAntibiotic- sending lots of hugs your way.

I'm in the 2ww- beta is Thursday. Because my clinic is in NYC and I'm in DC, I might not hear back for a few days because I'm doing the bloodwork at a labcorp here in DC.

I'm trying to ignore all these symptoms. No nausea last night. My DH had to go to a conference this week out of town so I've been giving myself the PIO shots myself-- NO FUN! My hand gets so shaky and a little leaks out each night.

QOTD: I love breaking out my spring dresses! There's nothing better than a comfy cotton dress :-)

CallaLily30 · March 2014

Hi Shamrocks! Congrats to all the BFPs and sending huge (((HUGS))) to the BFNs.

UPDATE: My transfer is scheduled for Wednedsay. I have one more lining check tomorrow and everything should be a go. I can't believe I'll be PUPO by the next check in! I'm so nervous. The PIO shots are not nearly as bad as I feared that they would be. I'm definitely willing to keep them up if it will bring me a miracle baby.

QOTD: I'm looking forward to spending sometime outside with my dog. I love talking her for walks in the woods but its been too cold and muddy here.

Praying4Miracle17 · March 2014

**BFP warning

My beta last Friday at 14dp3dt was 504!! I'm completely shocked as I was getting AF-like cramping symptoms and spotted a little 2 days before beta. I know it's early, but I've never been at this point ever before and I'm excited. My clinic makes you wait a week until next beta, so I won't get #2 until this Friday.

QOTD: I'm a runner, so spring weather used to mean long, nice runs, but I've definitely put that on hold for now. I'm just looking forward to getting outside to go on nice long walks with DH and my pup!

Good luck to the ladies in the 2ww or awaiting ER/ET. Also congrats to the other BFP's and hugs to those who need them.

I tested 5dp and it was neg, but when I tested at 6dp it was pos. So I hope you get a very special birthdat present.

Good luck to those waiting, and HUGE (hugs) to the people who need them. I am pulling for all of you in the tww.

AFM: I am not so patiently waiting for my sono on Friday. I have no symtoms so I am always fearing the worst. I am really a hot mess. I am doing my best to be positive, but that is proving difficult sometimes.

Carol77B · March 2014

Good morning ladies,

After testing on Saturday at 6dp3dt and getting a BFN, I recieved a lot of support and comments that it probably was too early. I looked at the timelines and links that a couple ladies posted, and they confirm that while the trigger should be out of my system, it would almost certainly be too early to detect pregnany. I was confused by one of the timelines that I read, prior to testing, which said to test no earlier than that point (6 days past) which I took to mean it could also detect at that point, but obviously not. Anyway, I apologize for screwing that up.

I have held off on testing since, but think I'll try again tomorrow (9dp3dt) and again each day until my beta on Friday. I don't have a really good feeling about this cycle, which is why I was eager to get the bad news out of the way and start planning again, but maybe I will be very happily surprised.

Congrats to the BFPs and deepest sympathy to the BFNs.

QOTD: I love spending more time outside in the spring, especially when I can start wearing sandals again. I'm especially looking foward to visiting the National Zoo, again and seeing the baby animals.

jaztastic · March 2014

Hey Shimmering Shams!!

This will be my last post before I officially move to the 2ww :-) I'm nervous, scared, excited and anxious all at the same time. I get my call sometime this afternoon telling me my transfer time on Wednesday. Hopefully all goes well with the thaw. I've been working crazy OT to try to keep busy, even some weekend hrs, but its not working anymore. lol I absolutely plan to POAS starting next Monday morning (5dp5dt)

***CHILDREN MENTIONED***

QOTD: Over the weekend DH and I pruned our garden, and hopefully I didnt kill off any of our perennials. lol (I'll give it a few weeks to see). But also every Easter I host Easter party at my house. I have 7godchildren, 2 nephew and a niece all ranging in age from 2months old to 11yrs old. I invite all of them over and a few close friends kids and we paint easter pictures, dye eggs, have a egg hunt etc... I really enjoy the day with them. So I'm looking forward to that even more so because I fully expect and anticipate being pregnant carrying my little easter bunny secret.

***CHILDREN REFERENCE OVER***

@O2girl hold out, you can do it! (somebody has to because I cant)

@SCSmith2011 Dont let the symptoms or lack there of get to you. Good luck on Wednesday!

@Ejrobbi Yea its probably still a bit early. Happy Birthday, and sorry you dont feel up to celebrating. Do you know what your next steps will be after this insurance runs out? Is there an alternative for you or is OOP your only option. Thinking of you!

@ExoticAntibiotic my heart breaks for you. So sorry

@Boyankl just a few more days... good luck!

@CallaLily30 Whoop Whoop!! 3/26/14 twins lol... but the PIO are getting on my nerves already. but I think its cause Im also shooting estradiol in the butt too.

@Praying4Miracle17 Congrats, and Fx for a great #2

@Ashris13 hoping your sono goes great! and you continue with a H&H 9months

To everyone... Good luck to those still waiting/trying, Congrats to all the BFPs, and HUGE HUGS to those that need them.

CallaLily30 · March 2014

@jaztaz1 I don't think I will make it to beta without testing either so I will probably be testing right alongside you! I thought I would wait until 6dp5dt though but that's what I say now. I'm really torn though because BFNs will make the PIO that much harder to deal with!

bashert11 · March 2014

Good morning Shamrocks,

Congrats on so many BFPs

I am 2 days past ER and waiting for my ET which they don't know yet if it will be be Tues or Thurs. I'm thinking the doctor wanted a 5 day so probably Thurs. I'm in the process of trying to put together a bed rest survival kit for the ET. So that's about all that's going on so far.

QOTD: Planting use to be but now I live in an apartment and I can't do pots because of the damn squirrels lol. Summer dresses are always nice. I think trips to the zoo and the museums are always fun.

LOL I know what you mean. I have a POAS schedule day 5, 7, 9, 11 then beta. But you are right... after getting a BFN, you are going to want to quit taking meds. Hopefully we dont get BFN or if so that they come really early and change!

mrscsw · March 2014

Hello Ladies!

Congrats to all of the BFP's!! HUGS to all those how need them, particularly the BFN's. IVF does blow! Sending everyone positive thoughts!

I posted an update in last Thursdays check-in. But for those who missed it - We ended up having a 4th egg fertilize, which was an amazing surprise! All 4 embryos survived freezing! We have 4 frosties! We will do another round of IVF in May, then implant after that. My RE is worried about my lining. I had issues with it on my first round of IVF and it did not increase at all this round. But I was not on POI or any other meds to increase lining. So hopefully things will look better the next time we implant!!!

QOTD - I am ready to get outside and walk. I love walking outside when the weather is nice. I also love sitting outside with a glass of wine enjoying the nice weather! Can't wait! Still too cold in St. Louis!

ejrobbi · March 2014

@jaztaz1 we will not be doing any more fertility treatments once my insurance runs out, we feel that is our ending point. We will move on to adoption as my family and my company both can/will offer us some financial assistance with adoption.

I am just hopeful it doesn't come to that and we get preggo soon.

STL34 · March 2014

Hi ladies! Congrats to the BFPs! Best of luck to those still on the journey! ((HUGE HUGS)) to those that need them!

We transferred my lone embry on Thursday, March 20. It was a beautiful 6 cell embryo. We are hoping and praying that it snuggles in and stays for the long haul! However, my anxiety levels are kind of high because the clinic failed to do assisted hatching as had been planned.

QOTD: Just spending time outside! I love being outside when the weather is beautiful!

LizBlue · March 2014

Well, I had this really bad feeling that I would be the first Shamrock BFN, and lo and behold...

In between feeling horribly sorry for myself, I'm trying to get geared up for our FET that will hopefully happen in April. I think what's so worrisome to me is that we are truly starting to near the end of our road. I think back to three years ago when we started IUIs and I thought, oh, these will surely work. And they didn't. And then we got pregnant. And then I miscarried. And then I thought, ok, I didn't think I needed IVF, but if we get to that point, it will surely work...and it didn't. And now we're looking at our last three frozen chances, and the way my luck goes...

I'm just in disbelief that we are here.

Sorry for the downer post. I'm going to step away for a bit until I can get a little perspective and be more supportive.

Huge congrats to all the BFPs and big hugs to those who need them. @ExoticAntibiotic so sorry for the BFN. Huge ((hugs)) for you.

Good luck Shamrocks!! xo

Spring78 · March 2014

Hi all,

I just got our Day 3 report. We have 12 little embryos still clearly in the running, and a few stragglers that might surprise. As of today, we have 1 10 cell, 1 9 cell, 9 8 cell and 1 7 cell all chugging along. Our clinic grades on a 4 point scale with 4 being the best. All the embryos were Grade 3 except for one Grade 4 8 Cell. We also have 3 6 cell embryos that could maybe catch up. So... I'm feeling pretty good about those numbers. The doctor is still saying she will only transfer one due to OHSS, which still has me bummed, but hopefully we will have some to freeze for future attempts.

My transfer is set for Wednesday morning at 8 am. Fingers crossed everything goes well!

janet1206 · March 2014

Just had my beta this morning and it's a BFFN. Feeling defeated and down in the dumps right now. I already kinda knew it was gona be neg and got geared up for it..but boy does it hurt like hell. We're gonna take a little break and do another fresh cycle in a couple months. For now all I wanna do is cry and then have a big glass of wine when I get home.

I hope that all of your bfp = a healthy baby and good luck to everyone else wherever u are in your cycle. I truly hope I'm the last bfn for this group. Thank u all for listening n being so supportive thru all this. This was a great group to be a part of.

LizBlue · March 2014

@janet1206 Big ((hugs)) I get it, I really do. I'm feeling a little beaten up and defeated today too.

mrscsw · March 2014

@LizBlue - I am thinking of you!

@janet1206 - I am so sorry. IVF sucks! ((hugs))

Carol77B · March 2014

@janet1206 I'm really sorry.

ekc0630 · March 2014

@janet1206 I'm so sorry! HUGS

ekc0630 · March 2014

I POAS Friday, Sat, Sun, and Tomorrow. Fri, Sat were BFN. Sunday after a minute I threw it away. I knew it was a BFN. I went back later to pee and something told me to pull it out. There it was a BFP. I took another one since a lot of time had passed and it was still BFP but very light. I'll test again tomorrow and Beta is Wed. I'm not getting my hopes up yet

QOTD I am ready to spend lots of time outside!!!!!!! And not need a coat

janet1206 · March 2014

@ExoticAntibiotic ((hugs)) So sorry to hear you also had a bfn.

@LizBlue I'm really sorry. ((hugs)) to you too. I know what you mean by being in disbelief. Before starting IVF, I was so sure that this would work. Guess God has other plans. I hope your next FET is the one.

We just need time to get strong again, but I sure won't give up. There's still hope left.

MrsZ816 · March 2014

Congrats to the bfps and other good news and t&ps for those who need them.

I'm pupo and anxiously awaiting my beta on Sunday. I'm beta or bust so this is going to be a long week.

QOTD: I'm looking forward to my birthday next Thursday, flip flops and walks on the beach even if I need a sweatshirt (I'm very lucky to live about 15 min from the beach).

ronniesgirl1981 · March 2014

Still stimming. My lead was 13 on Sunday. Added Ganirelix to the party! Next monitoring tomorrow! QOTW: Opening my friggin windows!

sandollar1010 · March 2014

I went in for my ER today. I had 16 follies going in and they were able to retrieve 12 eggs. They'lll call me tomorrow to let us know how many fertilized. We'll go back either Thursday or Saturday for ET.

QOTD: I love the extra hours of daylight when I get home from work, and spending time outside with my dogs. We play frisbee or go for nice long walks. It's still 20 degrees outside, but hoping it warms up very soon!

Kacelets · March 2014

My heart is just sinking for you @LizBlue, @Janet1206 and @ExoticAntibiotic. This whole process sucks the big one.

I couldn't sleep last night after the ET - thinking, "What if they pulled the catheter out and the embryo fell on the floor? And then it got mopped up that night? I'm sitting here avoiding processed meats, soft cheeses, sushi, caffeine and wine - when the damn embryo is stuck on the mop."

I've never been preggo like many on this board - so the thought of this sucker implanting and making a take home baby is just so foreign. I'm trying to stay positive over here - but my brain is on overload.

Congrats to all the embryos that did not end up on the mop - but are currently becoming little people.

Many sympathies to all injecting themselves tonight.

QOTW - We are moving in the middle of April - so looking forward to having the windows open unpacking boxes and finally making a house our home after renting a s+it hole for the past two years.

And - to @ejrobbi - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MY LOVE!!!!!!!!

anitaflora · March 2014

Hi there Shammies!

Sorry I don't have time to write more to each person, but I am so happy for all the BFPs and PUPO ladies! Good luck to all of you in the 2WW and stimming/prep phases, and big, huge, hugs to ladies who got BFNs. You are all in my thoughts!!

I tested again this morning with FMU and it was a glaring negative again. But after reading what so many of you wrote on my thread, and then finding a good bit about HCG levels sometimes taking a longer time to get going with IVF (did anyone else read that??) - I feel a little more comforted since I'm not at 9dp5dt until Wed.

That said, I know I'm going to test again tomorrow morning because I have the test. I actually felt more nauseous today and had a wicked headache when I woke up. So I'm hoping that there being kind of a change in symptoms is a good thing.... but it could all just be in my head.

Thank you all again for your kind words and encouragement on the thread I posted. They really did help.

I hope there are no more BFNs for anyone and wish everyone lots of success!

absolutelymaybe · March 2014

@02girl – Be strong! You can do this!

@SCSmith2011 – Your boobs couldn’t been sore from the HCG trigger and, as that wore off, obviously became less sore. Sore boobs doesn’t necessarily need to happen for pregnancy – mine haven’t been sore at all. Yet.

@ejrobbi - Yes, it’s still early! And Happy Birthday!

@ExoticAntibiotic - I’m so so sorry! Hugs!

@boyankl – Good luck with your beta!

@CallaLily30 – Sending good thoughts for you on your transfer!

@Praying4Miracle17 – Congrats on your BFP, beta day triplet (shared with @Indianaalum). That’s a nice beta #! That sucks that your RE makes you wait a week. I was pouting because mine made me wait four days!

@Carol77B – Fingers crossed you get your BFP tomorrow (or the next day…or the day after that)!

@jaztaz1 - Good luck on your upcoming transfer!

@bashert11 – Have fun putting together your survival kit. I hope your ET goes smoothly.

@AlaskaDee23 – Congrats! I bet you’re excited to get the ball rolling. Good luck with your cycle!

@cwoodward777 – Congrats on your frosties! Best of luck on your upcoming transfer.

@STL34 – Good luck! Snuggle in little embryo!

@LizBlue – I’m so very sorry. There aren’t words, so just hugs!

@Spring78 – Woohoo on your embryos! And there’s nothin’ wrong with have frosties. I’m definitely proof of that.

@SportsChick33 – Sorry you’re not getting the communication you’d like with your RE. I wish I knew more about those numbers, but I never asked what mine were. Hopefully those “some” follicles turn out to be the ones that go on to make an embryo.

@janet1206 – I’m so sorry! I hope you are able to relax during your break!

@Wolfette139 – Good luck with your upcoming FET! IM shots aren’t that horrible. You really do get use to them after a while.

@ekc0630 – Congrats! I hope your beta is a good one.

@MrsZ816 – Fingers crossed for your beta on Sunday!

@ronniesgirl1981 – Good luck with your upcoming ER!

@sandollar1010 – Way to go with your ER! Hope those embryos keep on going!

@Kacelets – If it helps, I don’t think your RE would allow your embryo to end up on the mop. But I get what you’re feeling. Until this cycle, I’d never been pregnant before. The concept is so foreign – in fact I didn’t even hold a baby for the first time until I was 23. Seriously. So, this is all very new to me.

@anitaflora – Don’t lose hope! It’s still early!

Me: I'm heading to second beta tomorrow. Was really disappointed they made me wait a whole two extra days between betas. It's all I could do not to get another Clearblue Advanced with week prediction to "see" if I would get 2-3 weeks because my HCG levels had risen. Of course, that's a stupid idea because who knows how accurate those are.

QOTD: I'm really looking forward to wearing summer dresses. And flip flops. Can't come soon enough.

violetmarie61516 · March 2014

Hello ladies

Congrats to the bfps, good luck to those with me in the tww and hugs to all those who need them!

I'm trying to keep myself occupied. I'm 6dp5dt and had a negative test on a FRER this morning. Afterwards, I had DH hide all the rest of my tests! I have to wait until at least Thursday to test again. My beta is Friday morning and I have really high hopes!

QOTD: I'm really looking forward to creating a garden in my yard this summer. We've lived in our home 3 years now and we've been putting it off. We are thinking of maybe putting on a small patio and/or a raised garden bed.

Carol77B · March 2014

I took another HPT this morning (9dp3dt) and it was BFN (again). I'll keep trying until my beta on Friday, but I'm pretty sure it didn't work. Since I kinda felt like this cycle was doomed from the start (low AFC even with microdose Lupron, accidentally started stimming a day late, only got three eggs from 5 large follicles, took several (painful) attempts to get the catheter in for the ET, came down with a cold after ET, nothing to freeze) it seemed to me that it would take a miracle for it to work.

*BUT* since it seemed to me that if it did work, this would almost certainly be my one and only pregnancy, I'm okay with us trying again (even though we are 100% OOP) if we can get more embryos and get some to freeze so we have the option of more than one child. Plus, I'd like to take a break and lose some weight so that I'm starting at a healthier pre-pregnancy weight. I've gained so much I'm more than the weight I would have expected to be at if I was 9-months preggo, for crying out loud!

This all being said- I'd be estastic if it turned out that I get a positive Beta on Friday, but I feel better having rationalized why another failure would not be the worst thing for me.

LizBlue · March 2014

((hugs)) @Carol77B I admire your perspective. I can't seem to see any silver linings right now and my inner monologue has been "This is horse shit, this is horse shit," pretty much since i said that to you the day of our BFNs. Thanks for reminding me that there can be an upside.

I would also like to use the next month to get healthier and fitter. And to drink a lot of wine. No incongruities there--:)

runforcookies · March 2014

Congrats to all the BFPs! To all the girls with BFNs I'm thinking about you and I'm so sorry.

Today is day 8 of stims. I go back tomorrow but they think ER will be Friday or Saturday. I'm hoping for Saturday because Friday, march 28th will be one year from the IUI that got me pregnant and sadly ended. So I would like a different EDD in the event that this one works.

Reastically I know that the day doesn't matter.

QOTD I just can't wait to be outside!

absolutelymaybe · March 2014

@Love4Labs326 Good luck with your beta! Fingers crossed!

@Carol77B That’s a great attitude to have.

@runforcookies – Good luck with your ER!

@AlaskaDee23 – Thanks! I put it on right after my transfer and wore it whenever lounging around the house during the time between transfer and beta. I purchased it from Zazzle. I wanted something to remind myself to think optimistically during the 2WW.

leavehouse · March 2014

*BFP Mentioned*

Hi ladies,

I went in for my first ultrasound at 5 weeks 5 days and they didn't see anything. It turns out my beta was only 610 and they said it needed to be above 1200 to see anything. My beta has been low this whole time but consistently doubling. I'm a nervous wreck. I go back for another ultrasound and beta this Friday. I'm hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst

I really just want to throw up and sleep forever.

Good luck to everyone!

CaringCat · March 2014

Congrats to all the BFPs and hugs to those who need them.

BFN here and too sad to check in yesterday when I got the news. Life can be so unfair. I keep thinking all day, it is what it is but why?!!! What makes me the saddest is that my eggs suck so bad that I after two cycles, I didn't get a single frosty. I'm sure I set a record for the worst response or something with only 3 eggs each time. So with the BFN news was also the realization that any hope for a genetic baby is gone - taking that in has been the hardest part. At 27 years old, I just don't understand why.

( Thanks for being so supportive Shammies!

MrsC430 · March 2014

Hey Shamrocks! Sorry for the late update. Thinking of all of you, and sending huge hugs to those who need them.

*Warning*
I had beta #2 last Friday - it came back at 1,537. Beta #3 is this Friday, and our first U/S is April 4th. It doesn't feel real to me yet... this was our 5th freaking attempt! We still have a long road ahead, but I'm beyond grateful to have made it this far.

QOTW: Taking our pup for long walks & cooking dinner on the BBQ!

amyelise25 · March 2014

I am 9dp5dt and deep in the 2ww. My beta is next Monday. It gets harder and harder every day. I had some spotting yesterday which freaked me out.

FX for all the other 2ww ladies (and those in the middle of doing ER and ET).
