RMA NJ ladies!

poohniki · April 2014

I did the study back in august and had a chemical pregnancy in September. Good luck! The no anesthesia ER isn't so bad- don't let it scare you. The best part is no IV is needed and they feed you before you go in.

@cls78 for blood work i'm going to Somerset office which is close to my home but for the consultation purpose i went baskin ridge office,

GL for ur ER:)

GL to you too!

bobnclaudia · April 2014

@fizzachaudhary‌ : thank you! good luck with your retrieval; keep us posted. I saw Dr. Kim for one of the monitoring days and he was so bleh and not friendly....definitely felt like a number rather than a patient and person with him.....hopefully it's different for you
@shood77‌: good luck. I've found RMA is great. Where did you go before?
@Denise91980‌: free is good!

. My friend did the natural study. She had one egg retrieved.
@cls78‌: Good luck!
@repute: I had one (sry if TMI) wipe that was light pink. I attributed it to implantation bc it was the day after the extreme crampy feeling...,like 5 days after transfer. How is everything going?
@NYGiants2010‌: how are you feeling?

....i think that's everyone

NYGiants2010 · April 2014

@bobnclaudia‌ - I'm feeling pretty good. I've had a couple moments of queasiness. I have my second ultrasound on Friday, hopefully we will see a heart beat. Thanks for asking!

bobnclaudia · April 2014

@NYGiants2010‌: yeah, I'm excited/anxious....we see our little one/little ones on Friday. When is your edd? Is that your only symptom?

bobnclaudia · April 2014

@Repute‌: I'm so anxious lol....I've never had as many pregnancy dreams before. My BFF and her fiancé told me that I was gonna have quads bc they were gonna both split....I had that dream last night. It doesn't matter, as long as they're/the baby is healthy. Which office do you go to?

bobnclaudia · April 2014

@repute: good luck tomorrow! My dr is usually there, but thankfully she's in Basking Ridge tomorrow

Posting from PAIF…….

Dr. Kim is getting a lot of heat on this board so I just wanted to pipe in with a positive review! He was my doctor and I felt as though he was extremely attentive. I checked in on me on monitoring and performed my transfer. When I came down with OHSS he checked on my personally and scheduled my follow-ups so that he would be on duty. He was extremely friendly and took time to answer all of my and my husband's questions. I'm sorry if you had a different experience with him, but wanted to share another perspective!

Musicianlala26 · April 2014

Repute CONGRATS!!!!!! That's amazing news I'm so excited for you!!!

Musicianlala26 · April 2014

Just a quick update on me we got our Transfer date yesterday! We will be doing a double FET one week from tomorrow! Eeeeek

Saturday April 12th! I'll keep you ladies posted

bobnclaudia · April 2014

I'm glad you both had a positive/continue to have a positive experience.

@Repute‌: congrats girl!! I knew it....you're about a week or 2 behind me? Yay December babies!

@Musicianlala26‌: soo exciting!! Absolutely keep us posted! Happy sticky baby dust to you!

Today we saw our little Cheerio....only one miracle baby took (instead of both) but I'm so psyched and excited to see its heartbeat next week. That's all we asked for....our miracle baby

Don't give up ladies, positive thoughts:)

Denise91980 · April 2014

@NYGiants2010‌
They are giving me Valium as opposed to anesthesia. Did they do the same for you? If so, was it painful?

bobnclaudia · April 2014

***loss mentioned***

Hi ladies, I just wanted to give you an update. As I commented on Friday, we saw our cheerio and knew that it was growing. Something must've happened, but yesterday I experienced moderate-heavy bleeding with some cramping---like a typical period. I called RMA 2x with the nurse reassuring me that it was possibly normal due to pregnancies sometimes having this. As my DH & I got ready this morning, we knew something was wrong but trying to stay hopeful. Unfortunately, our little Cheerio was no longer there and beta levels dropped. Thankfully with neXgen, we'll learn what happened but it's still a unknown.

With this being said, I cannot wait to hear all the successful stories you ladies will endure. I hope to join you again as soon as my dr allows me to have another cycle

. Good luck ladies and positive thoughts

Musicianlala26 · April 2014

@bobnclaudia I'm so so sorry for your loss

Please keep us posted! RMA has other studies that you might qualify for so don't give up hope, we're all here for you! xo

cls78 · April 2014

@bobnclaudia‌ I'm sorry fo you loss.

bobnclaudia · April 2014

Thanks ladies....we have a lot of embryos frozen (23) so were both just ready to move on and not dwell. I cried my cry already, and I know my DH is upset. We just got to pick up the pieces, and move on....as hard as it may be.

cls78 · April 2014

@bobnclaudia‌ Glad to hear that you had plenty of frosties! Best of luck for your next cycle. Did you find out yet what group in the Nextgen study you were in?

bobnclaudia · April 2014

@cls78‌: my levels need to get down to "0", but they should be down by Friday when I go in bc they went from 3,034 (Friday, April 4) to 1,882 (today). I guess after I will sit down with the research team and my dr. I will keep you all posted

bobnclaudia · April 2014

How are you ladies doing? I hope to hear about everything today which will give me & DH some answers.

jcstord · April 2014

Hi ladies! I'm new to this thread, and I'm SO happy I found this!! I have secondary infertility. 2 failed IUI's with Follistim. Had a follow up appt with Dr. Kim today @ Basking Ridge and I qualify for NeXgen! I'm really excited about it! I told my sister and she doesn't like the idea of a biopsy done to the embryo. Can someone please explain this process to me further? I'm still waiting for the research team to call me to go over everything. I know you ladies can explain it in simple terms that I can understand haha.

cls78 · April 2014

@jcstord‌ I am in the nexgen study and have er tomorrow! They will explain everything clearly for you, but feel free to ask me any questions! GL! @bobnclaudia‌ Doing good. How are you? I hope you got your answers. @fizzachaudhary‌ Sorry to hear that. Are you still going to cycle?

bobnclaudia · April 2014

@cls78‌: I'm ok...I go back on Friday to hopefully have them tell me my numbers are "0" and then find out everything. Good luck tomorrow!!:)

bobnclaudia · April 2014

**loss mentioned**

Hi ladies! So the past 2 weeks have been tough (going to a baby shower, telling more family) but knowing some answers is reassuring & having hope/staying positive is helping. I found out that in the neXgen study, I was in the control group/non PGD group. The 2 embryos they put in were normal and high grade BA/BD....which one actually took... Who knows. Out of the 23 left, we have 17 that are normal, high/good, viable embryos...the other 6 had problems like missing/additional embryos(?) or not able to run. My DH & I go in 2.5 weeks to Dr. Shastri to talk about the next step and if theres anything to do prior.

How are you all feeling? I miss the updates.

Musicianlala26 · April 2014

@bobnclaudia I'm so so sorry for your loss. Having 17 normal frozen embies is fantastic though! Keep us posted on your next step. I'm also in the NexGen Study at RMA's BR location. I just got my first beta call today... 38.5. The nurse told me she's 'Cautiously optimistic' that they think my number is a little low.... so now I sit and pray and hope that the second beta doubles normally. Wishing you great success on your next FET.

Musicianlala26 · April 2014

I'm sorry I'm new to this whole thing... I should have posted *WARNING BFP mentioned* =/ Sorry!

bobnclaudia · April 2014

@Musicianlala26‌: that's exciting!....I'll be praying for you and hoping everything works out. When do you go bajck? Thank you....we're anxiously waiting to hear what dr. Shastri says and seeing if hopefully insurance will cover it or we miraculously can afford a FET when ready.

Musicianlala26 · April 2014

@bobnclaudia I go back for second beta tomorrow .... anxiously waiting

kristine2378 · April 2014

mamamorg · April 2014

hey, ladies. i'm new here and will start stims with RMANJ on monday.

Was wondering if ya'll have any travel advice for me? I will be traveling alone and hubby will join me once retrieval is scheduled. I am having to travel at the last possible minute bc I have kiddos at home, so to break away is a bit difficult.

I'm so nervous bc my last cycle with CCRM I didn't make freezeable blasts. My kids are all day 3 transfers, so I am a bit nervous doing the CCS testing.

any travel advice is welcomed. Where to stay? Where to fly into? How long does it take to get from airport to clinic?

My nurse told me I need to be in the office to be monitored no later than 7:30am on monday, may 5th, but that is going to be almost impossible. I HAVE to leave florida on monday early am and the earliest I get to the airport is 8:50am. So how long would it take me to get to the clinic at that point? CCRM let me monitor late in the day on day of travel (like 12 noon)....was so hoping they could be a little flexible

(or as flexible as they can be).

cls78 · April 2014

@mamamorg‌ Which office are you working with Baskin Ridge?

mamamorg · April 2014

hello! Thank you for responding. "The bump" is new to me, so I'm not sure how everything works.

Yes, I just emailed my nurse and she said Baskin Ridge office is where it will all happen for me. I am with Dr. Bergh.

Thanks for taking the time to help me out.

BTW, do ya'll have a facebook group or anything? Just thinking a facebook group would be nice bc of the simple search feature (I could "search" for travel tips rather than scour through 5 pages of posts! lol!)

cls78 · April 2014

@mamamorg‌ This is from the RMA website. https://www.rmanj.com/getting-started/traveling-to-nj/ I would make sure your nurse knows your landing time and arrange a monitor appointment with her.

cls78 · April 2014

@mamamorg‌ I won't be much help I live in South Jersey and go to the Eatontown office mainly. Can you girls help any? @Musicianlala26‌ @bobnclaudia‌ @Wolfette139‌

mamamorg · April 2014

@cls78 thank you for helping me out. I'm sure there are others out of state like myself that have traveled to RMANJ. I am fresh off a cycle from CCRM where I didn't make freezeable blasts..ugh.

From your signature, it looks like you have had great success with them so far! Congrats and good luck with your FET!

Is there a RMANJ Ladies facebook group? Or a search function on this website?

mamamorg · April 2014

my nurse did point me in the direction of their website, HOWEVER, I'm looking for personal experiences from you ladies. and after mapping things it looks like the airport is 35 minutes away from Baskin Ridge.

cls78 · April 2014

@mamamorg‌ No, but there are a lot of RMA ladies on this board though. You can join in on the May Blossoms IVF thread. Lots of support there. I paged a couple of the RMA girls for you who live in North Jersey to help you out some more. Sorry you didn't get any blasts at CCRM, but hopefully RMA can help you out! Good luck to you too!

Want a personalized experience?
