Anyone starting September FET?

Re: Anyone starting September FET?

  • Right now I'm a stay at home mom and trying to start up a small business where I'm building and selling gaming computers...  just finished my first rig to sell (I used to do this a long time ago as well).  Before I had my kid though I was a construction manager at a residential construction company
  • Loading the player...
  • I am marketing manager at a beauty/hair company 
  • I'm a Dental Assistant and Bikram yoga teacher.
  • @Hopeful_mom I just had my hormone level bloodwork (estrogen, progesterone and TSH) yesterday - 6 days post-transfer. TSH seems to be the test they usually run at baseline but I haven't ever had it checked a second time in the middle of a FET cycle because I've never made it to a transfer. I can't imagine your RE isn't checking your thyroid along with everything else. Do you have a patient portal where they send your blood work results?

    Also congratulations on your transfer yesterday! Fingers crossed for you :)
  • sarcasticowl I'm gonna call to double check...they make calls that's it, no portal.  Just another thing for me to worry about  :s

    FuzzyDust best pf luck on ur transfer tomorrow!!

    Unexplained Infertility - but I am 40...Low AMH .30
    7 - IUI (50mg-150mg Clomid) Feb - August 2016 all BFN 
    IVF#1 August 2016 (Antagonist protocol 4/5 eggs) Cancelled cycle :( RE thought I would get at least 10.
    IVF#2 Sept 2016 (microdose luporn pro - disappearing follies, ONLY ONE, convert to IUI) BFN
    IVF#3 November 2016 (4 ER, 3 F,  3DT)-BFP  with TWINS // MC both at almost 10wks  :'( 
    IVF#4 March 2017 //EPP  (10 ER (1 wonky so 9 ER) 7F, 3B (5AB, (2)5BB) PGS tested- ALL abnormal  :'( 
    IVF#5 April 2017 // EPP (7 ER, 7F yes! 6B) 2/5 day 4/6 day - 2 PGS normal! yes!! :)
    IVF#6 May 2017 // Antagonist didn't have time for Estrogen Priming...(4 ER, 3 F, 3B) (5AB, (2) 5BB) 2 PGS normal, yes!! :)
    IVF#7 June 2017 // EPP praying this is it and then on to an FET!

  • @Hopeful_mom Most of the time the patient portal makes me want to jump off a bridge, so I actually think with my level of anxiety that being without one would be better for me. I literally have a spreadsheet that I made with all my bloodwork and ultrasound results, what the normal ranges are, and what the corresponding follicles/lining thickness were with the data. I'm like a crazy person.
  • sarcasticowl can u make one for me  :D  I thought I kept ok notes but ur da bomb!  I was more concerned with my follie growth.

  • Yikes the board has been busy.  I can't keep up.
    @Hopeful_mom congrats on the transfer!  Hope you are able to take it easy for a bit.
    @FuzzyDust good luck tomorrow!
    @Holls214 welcome.  Sounds like you have been through a lot and I hope this transfer will be the beginning of great things for you.  

    AFM I couldn't help myself and tested this am.  I am 4dpt and it was negative.  I know it's so early but I don't have high hopes.  **TW** in my successful cycle this was the day I got my BFP.  
    Oh and I am a nurse but currently a stay at home mom.  **TW**
  • @Mewkie this is too early, so don't let that negative disappoint you!

  • @Holls214 welcome to this great September board with positive energy
  • @Mewkie it's definitely early, fingers crossed for you. 
    @Hopeful_mom thank you!! You are sweet. :) Taco Bell always kills my tummy. No fun. Sometimes it tastes so good though. 
    Thanks ladies! I'm optimistic even though it's hard after all these years... hoping we all get some good news!

  • @Crystal321 I feel the same way. Monday I felt so bummed cause I just knew I wasn't and then yesterday I was like, well maybe because my stomach was all weird and I felt exhausted. 
    It's definitely my mind and these f***king shots. Yesterday I took the PIO and the estradiol and I think that's what made me feel like maybe. I can't wait until Friday. Friday will be such a big day for a lot of us. Good luck! Fx crossed that we all get BFP!!
    @Mewkie 4 days is super early! Hold on to the idea that you are! Positive thoughts!! 

    @FuzzyDust  good luck today! Congratulations on PUPO!

  • So, definitely POAS this morning and definitely got a BFN. It's 8dp5dt and I figure I should at least have a faint positive by this point. Pretty sure I'm out, but beta is tomorrow and we'll know for sure  :'(
  • @sarcasticowl you never know, still praying you get your positive beta tomorrow! 
  • @sarcasticowl this is 1 of the main reasons I didn't want to POAS before beta. I am so nervous myself now I test on Friday. How are feeling? 

    I was thinking to myself today why don't my boobs hurt, no more cramping etc now I am worrying myself.
  • @Magallyta I felt kind of nauseous in the shower this morning but it passed, and I've been lightheaded and kind of shaky today, but with the glaring white BFN this morning, I'd think if these were pregnancy symptoms I would have enough hCG to register on a First Response (it's not a FRER, but really, would that make a difference?). The really awful thing about IVF and FET is all these hormones give us symptoms that traditionally would signal a pregnancy, and it's hard to trust your body. I've never been able to not trust my body up until now and it's unnerving.
  • @Crystal321 when is your beta? Yes fingers crossed for you too
  • sarcasticowl  ugh I wish you had that squinter but you're not out so try and stay hopeful!  Remember I had twins and I barely had a squinter I"m just hoping for late implantation!!

    amynico r u planning on POAS?

    Good luck to everyone doing betas this week!!!  Really looking forward to seeing good news from all!!!

    @Crystal321  you're a warrior 12 days I don't think I can hold out that long...I"m super scared even just after 2 days!

    Magallyta try to stay calm as i'm trying todo...  my boobs were sore pretty soon so i'm freaked literally 2 days later that theyre not yet...who wishes for sore boobs  D 

    I know you all keep saying propgestrone causes symptoms like what?  I did PIO last night so does that cause stronger symptoms.  I dont know a part of me really thinks its working!!!  My tummy is out of whack for sure...but that could just be the great diet I'm doing  :s:D

    Cinnamonn how r u feeling?  hoping you're turning the corner?  How are the rest of our BFP ladies feeling?? @JaeJayStark @Medicallyblonde

  • @Magallyta betas are this friday!
  • @hopeful_mom yah the progesterone once it starts building up can cause some of the symptoms to appear, even if you're not pregnant. For example, they give me the crazy vivid dreams
  • @hopeful_mom I'm pretty sure my sore boobs happened once I was a few days into taking the PIO, which is odd because you assume it's going to be an estrogen thing. I also started getting kind of lightheaded at random times once I was on it for a few days. I've been on it for two weeks and the sore boobs vanished. They pop back up every once in awhile but not as bad as before, where brushing up against them is almost agonizing.

    Also, zits. 
  • @Crystal321 oh nice like me!!! FX to both of us
  • @FuzzyDust congrats & welcome to the PUPO club
  • Thank you, ladies :)

    My Progesterone blood test result just came in, and now I'm freaking out. I'm not sure what normal is, but mine is 2.7, which sounds waaaay low. I hears numbers like 20-50, even 70, being thrown around, but 2.7 is just not even close to anything. 
    I won't know what it means until the clinic calls me tomorrow morning (saw result in online profile), so for now I'm just hoping that my little guy still has a chance. Will I need to double suppositories? Maybe try PIO? Aaa! the wait and not knowing is the worst!

    Do you guys mind sharing what your progesterone was at the transfer day?

  • @FuzzyDust I'm am so happy that your transfer went well and your clinic was so cool! As far as the hormones, I can't help. I'm not sure my levels have even been checked. From what I understand I think I'm taking the highest amount PIO (2ml). My blood hasn't been drawn since 3 days before transfer. It's 9 days past transfer.
