Transfer is all done and a little crampy! We transferred 2. We didn't get a grade though. Of the 11 fertilized only 5 made it so 3 left to freeze! We're so grateful. The full bladder was the worse lol. I ended up using the bedpan during my 20 min lying session and got some on the floor lol. Very embarrassing. Then my hubby freaked because he was scared that I pushed the embabies out lol. OMG this wait is going to be torture! We're almost there. Come on the 2/22, which is my beta. I look forward to reading everyone's good progress. Keep me updated. I'm about to relax for the next two days, browse pinterest, and start reading the Harry Potter series over. There's a new HP book coming in July yay! Good luck everyone.

Woke up to this on my second day of bedrest. I told my hubby he was a genius lol. I ate all the pineapple lol. I don't feel a difference yet. My trigger is very faint so now I just need darker positive tests! I think by Wed I should officially be able to say if it's a real positive. How are you ladies doing? Have you found any adorable baby items?
Aww thats sweet. Their chocolate covered apples are amazing!!!
MY husband and I were suppose to go out at just have a day together but he surprised me with flowers and candy. I havent decided what I want for the room. I would love to do grey furniture with slate blue walls and just pops of color through out the room. I have been looking into breast pumps. I figure if the baby doesnt latch I will try to pump breast milk for as long as I can. Also I see so many people who use formula and the baby eventually has stomach problems and they are so uncomfortable from the pain. Id much rather the baby get breast milk.
@sassysd7 what did you trigger with and when? I'm testing out my trigger too and it seems to be almost gone a lot faster than expected. Which worries me haha.
RE DX for me: Anovulatory cycles/Mild PCOS RE DX for DW: Endometrioma on left Ovary. Reciprocal Ivf Feb 2016. DW eggs and I am carrying. EDD: 10/27/16
@twomommiestobe I did my trigger on Friday the 5th
and it was 10,000 of pregnyl IM. I imagine it would have been gone sooner but I
decreased my fluid intake after finding out no OHSS lol. I never want to drink
fluids. I am a chronic dehydrated person but now that I can go back to water
instead of Gatorade I am one happy woman! It is exciting and scary once it
starts to disappear!
@Foxy8609 I dream of a chevron nursery with grey and yellow!
It seems more gender neutral. I have not decided about breastfeeding yet. Once
I am done with nursing school in May I don’t know how that will work with my
schedule. I do have similar symptoms to IBS and can’t eat certain things so I
would love to prevent stomach issues in my children. I am so sorry to hear this
news. I hope that test comes back perfect and your transfer is successful.
Remember it only takes one!

@ladylove90 I have actually felt normal up until yesterday when cramping started. I was very tired and didn't want to get out of bed today. Idk if that is because I can't sleep or a new symptom! I can't wait to find out! I have been testing out my trigger!

@sassysd7 Take a test!!!!! lmao I call what you may be experiencing pregnancy narcolepsy (this is what I call pregnancy fatigue. My one friend literally would just fall a sleep in a heart beat right before she found out she was pregnant) Im so excited for you to test. the 22nd is so far away.
So update for me, surprising my RE called me on Monday, not even my nurse, I guess after she read the report about only one egg making it to Blastocyst. So we decided that I will do another round of stims. She wants to start me on Lupron early which will be this week as long as my insurance approval goes through. Im hoping I get a call maybe tomorrow about it. Im still waiting for my period to return which I dont think will be until the weekend at the earliest. It sucks, I did get my first pang of jealousy/anger on Sunday but Im over it. I still have a chance that this one egg is good but for the most part I still look at it coming back abnormal. My husband doesnt want to put me through stims again. Hes just cynical because the doctors want to bill my insurance out the ass. He also thinks if the embryo comes back normal then we can get pregnant. Yes that is a possibility but I feel the probability is not there. Id much rather bank more eggs and then do the FET in May. We will be on vacation in April for a week so I wont be avail for follow ups. Im ok with that. My plan is to research what I can do to boost my egg quality. Even though I got the impression from my DR that the poor quality was from how quick everything grew. I still want to do what I can. Which means step 1, CUT OUT CAFFINE! Good bye Coffee!!!
@Foxy8609 I did take one! Another friend urged me to! It was a positive but I do not know if it is my trigger or not still so I will be tentatively excited until later around 8 or 9dp. Ugh the 22nd does seem really far away! I am so excited that you get to stim again! It sucks to give up coffee but only for a little bit. I have heard of people banking as much as possible! Jealousy and anger is ok and normal! No biggie! I hope that your little baby comes back normal!! Will they be testing the others and not charging you again? The REs and the office love to take our money lol. I am so jealous you are going on vacay! With my hubby's job they have to bid for time and his is not until July ugh! So I have to figure something out for then.

@sassysd7 - aha if they try to charge me to test again they can suck it! I paid for up to 10 eggs, they only got one so far. I have a call into the financial office so once they call me that will be one of my questions. I know anger and jealousy is normal but I dont like to play on those feelings. I just feel ugly. I know a few people that have to bid for their time. It does suck.
@foxy8609 yes we do have to do our time unfortunately everyone's journey is different. I feel dirty and bad when I feel that way. I have learned to look at the positive.

@sassysd7 Yay!! I think that is a good sign! I am in the same boat as you. I had not planned on testing early but at 2dp5dt I freaked out and decided to test out my trigger! I didn't know if I was too late. To my surprise two lines have been showing up every single morning and the second line has been progressively darker each day. However, the digital test I took came out negative on Valentine's Day. I haven't taken another digital since, just the non-digital! I'm afraid to see a negative again. Lol! I have been having cramping for the past 4 or so days. At first it felt like AF cramps and then it felt like it was up higher than usual. Now I am so uncomfortable, it almost feels like my muscles or something weird. It is definitely a different and new feeling for me. And my back is very uncomfortable! Are you experiencing this? I can't even sleep at night. Once I wake up my mind won't stop thinking! Beta is 2/18 and 2/20 for me. Hoping for some great news for us both!! What day are you now? Today I am 7dp5dt. The 22nd will be here very soon!! I wish you good luck on your remaining days!!

@wenikilina I love your excitement lol. I have digitals but have not used them! I am tentatively excited. I am still waiting on my beta to be absolutely sure it is a BFP. Everyone in my facebook group said that it is a definite. My cramps have been higher up too! They come and go though which is weird. No back pain yet but I can't sleep at night either. I am so tired today because I went to sleep at 11 but got up at 3am! I am now only 5dp5dt! Your beta is tomorrow right? Ahhh I am so excited for you!
@sassysd7 Haha! I love it! I am waiting for my beta too to be certain. I will not believe it until I get that positive beta! I am so excited. My cramps come and go, as well. But they are definitely different. Yes, my beta is tomorrow!! WooOo! I will keep you updated.

Trigger warning* On and off cramping is something I experienced with my 1st pregnancy. DD was unplanned and I thought it was warning that AF was coming... But she never did lol
Still testing positive 3rd day in a row at 6dp5dt. Update: I just had the most terrible episode. I got really hot, broke out in a sweat, thought I was going to faint, and had severe pain behind my belly button. I ate a salad with egg and meat then drank gatorade and took my daily prenatal and stool softener. It was the worst pain of my life! Idk what just happened. I took a shower and have taken my progesterone and am laying down now. Very scary!

Im so lost right now. Im getting myself so worked up with the possible medical bills that are to come. My husband doesnt want to start the next cycle of meds. He wants to see how the frozen embryo turns out. Tomorrow I am going to contact my nurse and see what she thinks. Maybe I can start the BC pills and if the embryo is normal we can just to a transfer this month rather another meds cycle. I started spotting today and think tomorrow will be day one so I need to call my nurse anyway.

@wenikilina congrats!!!!! That's so awesome. @sassysd7 I'm doing to ok. Just a little scard because on Tuesday its was feeling weird in my uterus like something was moving but since then I really haven't felt anything. This 2WW is torture I still have a whole week before my beta next Friday.
I hope everyone had a good weekend! Mine was very painful and I have a mild form of OHSS. Tomorrow is beta and I also go in for an ultrasound to check to see if my abdomen has fluid in it. Ugh this hurts!
@ladylove90 Don't be scared! I am sure good things are happening! Friday will be here before you know it!
@Foxy8609 I hope Day 1 has started. I like your plan. IVF is very stressful and expensive. A backup plan is always needed unfortunately. Take it one day at a time. If we already have meds that may expire it might be a good choice to go ahead and start again. I always say if we will go into debt at least it was for something good!
@candicane1979 Thank you so much! I have a mild case of OHSS ugh. This is a very big pain.

@sassysd7 hope you feel better and it's very mild. Good luck with your beta today. I hope your numbers come out good.
So I had my day 3 bw and a cath check this morning. They forgot to do it last cycle. It was super easy since it was my doctor doing it. I like the one female doctor we have but she is very energetic and hurt me a little during my hsg when she was trying to put the cath in.
So we are doing the transfer. I just have to tell my nurse later when she calls me. The results came back normal. My husband thinks it's better to do the transfer since it would be less stress on me. I'm not an emotional person but I did get choked up on my way home a little.
@Foxy8609 omg that is so good and way less stress! This is a huge decision! I'm so happy for you! It's a good time to be emotional!
Yeah my NP always hurts me but not the RE. They are both female.
Update at 10dp5dt my beta is positive at 778! I'm due Halloween! I go back Wednesday. They also drained about 1 L of fluid. I have a huge amount in my pelvis so they are hoping it moves so they can get all of it. Never knew I could feel so good and terrible at the same time!

@sassysd7 OMG!!!!! that is sooo good!!!! Did both stick or was it only one? Or have you not had an ultrasound done yet to tell?
Ugh I am very annoyed/stressed, we are not doing the transfer now. From the start ive understood what my RE has been doing. Mostly because ive done my research and everything. I try to explain things to my husband but his lack of trust in doctors clouds his intelligence. So pretty much since my retrieval and the news of only one making it, I understood that everything grew too quick so egg quality was compromised. My husband only saw that we had one embryo that made it. So we got the PGD back and he only saw that it was normal now it can be transferred. Yes in a perfect world sure, but not when its the only one out of 13 that made it. He just couldnt read between the lines. Now hes not trusting the doctors cause they didnt tell us from the start that the egg was of poor quality (BTW it is, its graded as a 4bc). He still thinks because its normal its good. After hashing it out with him, we are going the root of medication again. No transfer. Bummed because I got really excited and so did he.
@wenikilina- that's a great second beta, congrats!
foxy8609- Sorry you have to do another retrieval before transfer but hopefully you will get more quality embryos.
sassysd7- Congrats!!!! That's a awesome first beta! Sounds like twins!!!!
Afm- I had my 8 day us and I have 12 follicles total. Right 17,14,12,10,8,8,8 left- 16,14,13,8,8 Hoping all the little ones catch up. My retrieval will be Thursday or Friday.

Ok ladies we have had so much success in this group I have started a thread in the Pregnant after IF board for us to stay connected through our pregnancies. I intend to stay connected on this board as well to cheer on and support everyone still on their IVF journey.
I am part of the October mom group and its not the same. The woman there have not been through the IF struggle that brings us together. They are often mean and snarky. This is obviously my first pregnancy and I'm looking for compassionate support.
So I'm inviting all of you with BFP's share your discoveries, symptoms, stresses and excitement on the pregnant after IF board. Those still waiting for your BFP (stay positive it will come eventually!) you are welcome to see what comes next as we embark the beautiful, uncomfortable and scary 40 weeks!

I never want to drink fluids. I am a chronic dehydrated person but now that I can go back to water instead of Gatorade I am one happy woman! It is exciting and scary once it starts to disappear!

So update for me, surprising my RE called me on Monday, not even my nurse, I guess after she read the report about only one egg making it to Blastocyst. So we decided that I will do another round of stims. She wants to start me on Lupron early which will be this week as long as my insurance approval goes through. Im hoping I get a call maybe tomorrow about it. Im still waiting for my period to return which I dont think will be until the weekend at the earliest. It sucks, I did get my first pang of jealousy/anger on Sunday but Im over it. I still have a chance that this one egg is good but for the most part I still look at it coming back abnormal. My husband doesnt want to put me through stims again. Hes just cynical because the doctors want to bill my insurance out the ass. He also thinks if the embryo comes back normal then we can get pregnant. Yes that is a possibility but I feel the probability is not there. Id much rather bank more eggs and then do the FET in May. We will be on vacation in April for a week so I wont be avail for follow ups. Im ok with that. My plan is to research what I can do to boost my egg quality. Even though I got the impression from my DR that the poor quality was from how quick everything grew. I still want to do what I can. Which means step 1, CUT OUT CAFFINE! Good bye Coffee!!!
I am so excited that you get to stim again! It sucks to give up coffee but only for a little bit. I have heard of people banking as much as possible! Jealousy and anger is ok and normal! No biggie! I hope that your little baby comes back normal!! Will they be testing the others and not charging you again? The REs and the office love to take our money lol. I am so jealous you are going on vacay! With my hubby's job they have to bid for time and his is not until July ugh! So I have to figure something out for then.

Im so lost right now. Im getting myself so worked up with the possible medical bills that are to come. My husband doesnt want to start the next cycle of meds. He wants to see how the frozen embryo turns out. Tomorrow I am going to contact my nurse and see what she thinks. Maybe I can start the BC pills and if the embryo is normal we can just to a transfer this month rather another meds cycle. I started spotting today and think tomorrow will be day one so I need to call my nurse anyway.
I finally got the call!! 204!!! It's happening.
Cant wait to hear of more good news!

@wenikilina congrats again!
@ladylove90 Don't be scared! I am sure good things are happening! Friday will be here before you know it!
@Foxy8609 I hope Day 1 has started. I like your plan. IVF is very stressful and expensive. A backup plan is always needed unfortunately. Take it one day at a time. If we already have meds that may expire it might be a good choice to go ahead and start again. I always say if we will go into debt at least it was for something good!
@candicane1979 Thank you so much! I have a mild case of OHSS ugh. This is a very big pain.

So I had my day 3 bw and a cath check this morning. They forgot to do it last cycle. It was super easy since it was my doctor doing it. I like the one female doctor we have but she is very energetic and hurt me a little during my hsg when she was trying to put the cath in.
So we are doing the transfer. I just have to tell my nurse later when she calls me. The results came back normal. My husband thinks it's better to do the transfer since it would be less stress on me. I'm not an emotional person but I did get choked up on my way home a little.
Yeah my NP always hurts me but not the RE. They are both female.
Update at 10dp5dt my beta is positive at 778! I'm due Halloween! I go back Wednesday. They also drained about 1 L of fluid. I have a huge amount in my pelvis so they are hoping it moves so they can get all of it. Never knew I could feel so good and terrible at the same time!

Ugh I am very annoyed/stressed, we are not doing the transfer now. From the start ive understood what my RE has been doing. Mostly because ive done my research and everything. I try to explain things to my husband but his lack of trust in doctors clouds his intelligence. So pretty much since my retrieval and the news of only one making it, I understood that everything grew too quick so egg quality was compromised. My husband only saw that we had one embryo that made it. So we got the PGD back and he only saw that it was normal now it can be transferred. Yes in a perfect world sure, but not when its the only one out of 13 that made it. He just couldnt read between the lines. Now hes not trusting the doctors cause they didnt tell us from the start that the egg was of poor quality (BTW it is, its graded as a 4bc). He still thinks because its normal its good. After hashing it out with him, we are going the root of medication again. No transfer. Bummed because I got really excited and so did he.
foxy8609- Sorry you have to do another retrieval before transfer but hopefully you will get more quality embryos.
sassysd7- Congrats!!!! That's a awesome first beta! Sounds like twins!!!!
Afm- I had my 8 day us and I have 12 follicles total. Right 17,14,12,10,8,8,8
left- 16,14,13,8,8
Hoping all the little ones catch up. My retrieval will be Thursday or Friday.

Ok ladies we have had so much success in this group I have started a thread in the Pregnant after IF board for us to stay connected through our pregnancies. I intend to stay connected on this board as well to cheer on and support everyone still on their IVF journey.
I am part of the October mom group and its not the same. The woman there have not been through the IF struggle that brings us together. They are often mean and snarky. This is obviously my first pregnancy and I'm looking for compassionate support.
So I'm inviting all of you with BFP's share your discoveries, symptoms, stresses and excitement on the pregnant after IF board. Those still waiting for your BFP (stay positive it will come eventually!) you are welcome to see what comes next as we embark the beautiful, uncomfortable and scary 40 weeks!
