Hi, I'd love to join the check-ins! I love how supportive this group is. I'm in the PUPO group for IVF#1. I had my ER on 11/8 with a 2-day transfer of 2 embryos, so I'm 4dp2dt. The waiting is killing me. It's taking everything I have to not start testing.
@Marissa6609 I'm sorry the 3 didn't catch up, are they still abler I just freeze them and not do PGS testing on them? What stage do the embryos need to get to to be tested, blast?
For all the ladies that just had ER great results so far, lots of great fertilization reports and for all the ladies with upcoming ET Sunday and Monday good luck to you all. I pray
@Giants721 yay, congrats on your BFP I, so happy for you! How did your second betas go, or is that tomorrow? Any symptoms yet?
@narniadreaming I'm so sorry about your cycle.
@cokiebear happy belated birthday, I hope you'll have an awesome fertility report.

@jellybean1106 welcome! When are your betas scheduled? As much as I would love to test I'm not going to this cycle, I don't want to get discouraged and lose hope if I see a negative. I am 6dp5dt and my first beta is scheduled for us day, the wait is killing me! Any symptoms yet?

@cparker1 Thanks! Congrats on all the great eggs they retrieved/transferred/froze for you. That's awesome and so exciting. Good luck to you on your upcoming beta!
My beta isn't until the 25th. They like to wait until 17 days past ER. I feel like it's been forever already! I told DH that I needed something to distract myself, so we're going to take a day trip tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to. No symptoms except from still being insanely bloated. I broke a zipper on a pair of pants, so it's been all about the leggings and dresses lately.
Hi ladies! Ok, tell me what you think. The nurse is cautiously optimistic. My 2nd beta was 55 up from 31. So it has a doubling time of 58 hours. That's well within the 48-72 hour timeframe. And it rose almost 75% of the original number. I go back Monday for a third. So I am happy that it's going up. I've heard that FET sometimes have slow rising betas. Oh yeah, this morning I finally turned a digital positive.
if you can just hold me until my third beta, I'd appreciate it. We are positive but hate the feeling of uncertainty that the world of IF brings us. If you want me to stop posting let me know. Thank you all! Xoxo
@cparker1 - no, they didn't freeze them and didn't give me the option to freeze them without PGS. I will need to get more info from them, because I am not sure if they stopped growing so they didn't make it to blasts, or if their quality was not good enough to freeze. I really hope that since I was doing PGS testing, they would test anything that made it to blast, regardless of the apparent quality.

@Giants721 I'm so happy for you and will pray that your beta Monday continues to increases well. I know Monday can't come soon enough for you, waiting is the worst. I still have four more days until we get our beta results.
@jellybean1106 I do t know if I could hold out that long that is so long. My clinic tests on day 8 & 10 after a 5dt but they don't run the results on day 8 they freeze them and test both blood draws on day 10 together. Have an awesome day trip I hope if helps keep your mind off things. I'm still pretty bloated as well. I've had lots of different symptoms but they come and go, one day I think it worked and the next day I don't think it did. Also I don't know if my symptoms are all just from the medication. And nothing more. Thanks. For the congrats, we were really lucky with the results of this last cycle, we've had completely different results with number of eggs in pervious cycles the best decision we made was going to a different clinic. Good luck on your beta!

Congrats to all with these + results. You guys keep me motivated.
I'm late with my report, was busy at work all day. I have 23 follicles, none over 10 mm (they start measuring at 10) but still growing. E2 levels are going up, didn't give me the #'s but first visit was 205 two days ago. They're lowering my dosage to two vials of Bravelle & one Menopur. My next visit will be Sunday morning in Maryland, an hour away because my RE isn't open on wkns. Not looking forward to that but it's still all good.
Day 6 of stims tonight and so far no good news -a cyst on the right so they don't expect the follies to grow at all and follies on the left still all less than 10mm, I am so nervous they will end up canceling my cycle.. I am on lupron 10iu, follistim 225 and 1 vial of menopur. feeling very frustrated!!
@Marissa6609 I'm so sorry your three didn't catch up. ( but I'm happy you have three! More increases your odds. My friend only had three to test and came away with one normal that is her daughter...she's six months pregnant! Wonder why your testing takes so long....
@Discouraged31 I feel your frustration. Day 8 of Stims tonight and only a couple 10's and 11's today. I have been stressed all day. I go back Sunday and am praying something is happening. This is my first IVF so I feel really lost about what is normal or what to expect by this time. What kind of feedback are you getting from your docs? Sorry to hear about the cyst. Hopefully some follies will surprise you over there.

Congrats to all PUPO and good luck to everyone between ER and ET.
Had my ER today and they retrieved 29 eggs. Will find out tomorrow how many are mature. When I came to the nurse said 16 but checked again and they had 29. Last time they only got 4 with 2 mature and 1 fertilize. I'm really sore today. Last time it wasn't so bad. But today I am in a lot of pain. Resting in bed with the heating pad. ETA: phone bumping.

Sorry I'm late!! I woke up Wednesday with a sore throat & it's progressed into a pretty bad cough & no voice whatsoever. I'm 5dp5dt today! DH wants to wait to test. What a bummer! Maybe he'll give in by Wednesday (beta is scheduled for Thursday). In other news, DH works tonight & I don't have a guest 'nurse' lined up. I may have to do my own PIO tonight which terrifies me!!! Anyone else do they're own PIO? I'm fine with subQ, but IM scares me.

Hi girls!
@mariana81 the ET was good. We transferred 2 AA. I am feeling just fine tired and my rear is quite bruised but otherwise I am feeling good! I might POAS tomorrow... Will keep the board updated (even if I am typically 4-5 days tardy!)
PAIF
pregnant after round 2 of IVF. Transferred 2 embryos and (surprise!) was pregnant with triplets. Identicals passed at 8 and 10 weeks. Still have one healthy baby boy with EDD of July 30!
Longest u/s ever! I felt like I had been laying there forever, then the tech says "ok, so onto the right side now!" I said "oh my god that was only one side??" And her response was that I have lots and lots. And that the u/s's will only be getting longer. Now I'm just waiting for the nurse. Apparently there is only 1 today and I'll need to wait half an hour, or I can go home and have her call. I'm in no rush so I'm just gonna wait :P
*** If you want to know where I (and soo many others) have gone, click here ***
I just took a HPT at 11dp5dt. BFN. We're pretty devastated. Beta isn't until Wednesday, but we know the outcome isn't going to change between now and then. DH is talking about doing a new fresh cycle in the new year. We still have 7 frosties, but I am not getting any younger... thinking it might be better to bank more before my next birthday. This sucks. Was really hoping to be pregnant by my EDD from my mmc... but doesn't look like that will happen.

@ssoennin - I'm so sorry to hear about your one embryo. I had the same sort of news this week. We planned for an ET on Tuesday, arrived in the parking lot of our clinic and received the call that of our 4 embryos, 3 tested positive for Fragile X and 1 the "normal" was too week for transfer. I was frustrated and upset because with a low egg reserve I was happy to get 4 embryos and thought with the odds we would be okay... We meet with our Dr. on Tuesday morning and if he mentions anything that I think will help I will let you know. Stay strong, I know it is hard but I keep thinking that everything happens for a reason

I told DH that I needed something to distract myself, so we're going to take a day trip tomorrow, which I'm looking forward to. No symptoms except from still being insanely bloated. I broke a zipper on a pair of pants, so it's been all about the leggings and dresses lately.
Me: 34 | DH: 40

DX is unexplained infertility
IUI #1 June 2014: BFN
IUI #2 August 2014: BFN

if you can just hold me until my third beta, I'd appreciate it. We are positive but hate the feeling of uncertainty that the world of IF brings us. If you want me to stop posting let me know. Thank you all! Xoxo

@Giants721 I think that sounds good! I know the beta game can be pretty tough. As far as I'm concerned, you're welcome to stay! Hang in there!
I'm late with my report, was busy at work all day. I have 23 follicles, none over 10 mm (they start measuring at 10) but still growing. E2 levels are going up, didn't give me the #'s but first visit was 205 two days ago. They're lowering my dosage to two vials of Bravelle & one Menopur. My next visit will be Sunday morning in Maryland, an hour away because my RE isn't open on wkns. Not looking forward to that but it's still all good.
Fx to all the ladies with ER/ET this weekend!

Had my ER today and they retrieved 29 eggs. Will find out tomorrow how many are mature. When I came to the nurse said 16 but checked again and they had 29. Last time they only got 4 with 2 mature and 1 fertilize. I'm really sore today. Last time it wasn't so bad. But today I am in a lot of pain. Resting in bed with the heating pad.
