June IVF

Re: June IVF

  • @KZ1126 Medical personnel nowadays are lacking ethics, compassion and just care for patients and it is sad. I was in my government uniform so I didn't want to throw a fit in the hospital but next cycle they had better be jumping over hoops to make sure everything goes as plan.

    After I calmed down and spoke to my IVF coordinator,  I had my "come to Jesus moment" and I feel my frustration slip away.  Oh and I blasted my Christmas music til time to get off. 

    My cousin told me she dreamt about me being pregnant and huge so that gives me hope for February too so thanks love  <3

    @Hopeful_mom oh I feel for you with the MS.  I hope second tri brings you so much relief. And I could just jump for joy seeing peanut who is growing so big. I know that last RE appointment was bitter sweet. 

    @KZ1126 Have you feel kicking as yet? And seeing the moment on the outside?

  • @mrsa2017 I wish you could rub some of your sparkle on me, you are really a warrior!   Small kicks here and there, can't see from the outside yet. Very weird feeling, little wiggles.  I should start feeling more substantial movement in the next few weeks.

  • @mrsa2017 I've finally been able to comment on the computer.  I was checking on you the other day and saw what you went through.  Not going to reiterate it here, but seriously WTF?  Who does that?  You had an appointment!!!  Your attitude has always been so positive and uplifting.  I so admire that for you.

  • @sp128 thanks love. I try so hard to be positive and see the positive in things that don't go as planned. In the moment it feels like the universe is crashing but after some time it always seems to work out for my good even if I don't understand why right then and there. 
    How are you and the little munchkin? 

    AFM....  I'm trying to decide if to book our rental property and tickets but I'm still a bit skeptical just in case it doesn't happen the exact dates we are preparing for.

  • @mrsa2017  The ladies said it best you are a warrior and have a wonderful attitude which you Will need to keep you sane through this process! When are you getting the test done now? 

    Pregnancy mentioned and pics
    Had my OB appt today, What a difference a tummy ultrasound is you can barely see my little peanut
    HB 150 today next the big test that I'll be a basket case for
    Technically I'm 11w5days but my overachiever is measuring 12wk3days 
    The clot he called an SCH today which is scary but still small enough he's not concerned today.  I will feel better when it goes away because those are not such great things to have especially throughout the pregnancy.



     The second pic has where the SCH is with the line through it just so you can understand what I'm talking about. 


    @SP128 @KZ1126  The NT scan coming up do they give you the results right then and there from the scan or does it get sent to your doctor that they have to go over it with you? I don't think I would be able to wait that long and be sane at the same time

  • @hopeful_mom.... I can't do it until my next AF which can come anywhere between Dec 9- 17 (cd34-42) which means that it won't be done until the week before or of Christmas! 
    Wait! When did you find out about the SCH?! How big is it and has it went down from when you found out about it, if you have before? How did the OB appointment go, if I missed it?

    @hopeful_mom I soooo glanced over your introduction and jumped to the sonograms LOL, forgive me. Discard my previous questions. This tummy has peanut looking like a flaxseed in his photo. I miss the vag ultrasounds, they gave him/her a better selfie! The lighting with the tummy one is just awful. When is your next appointment and did you like your OB?
    edited to add -OMG! You're hitting second tri in a few days (twerk twerk twerk)

  • @hopeful_mom  ahhh the first tummy ultrasound is terrifying!!! I didn't think she was seeing anything bc she switched to vaginal after a few minutes. My uterus was tilted apparently so she just wanted to make sure she saw everything since it was our first appointment. I was like omg where is it!!!!!!!!   I didn't do the NT testing, but my doctor did say we'd have at least some preliminary results right away and then follow up if needed.  Good luck!

  • @mrsa2017  I appreciate that twerk ;)  it's strange because I also thought that 12 weeks was really the end of the first trimester but the more places I look really the 14th week is the beginning of the second trimester so I still have a little bit to go but I'm thrilled tomorrow is 12 weeks!!!  Is it May yet :)

  • @Hopeful_mom I thought it was 12 weeks too but alas it is 14 weeks. Regardless, you are almost out of first tri

    as for nt scan, I got my results right there. I actually had no idea I was getting one since I did nipt testing. Are you doing nipt? During my initial meeting, the np explained that nipt is more accurate than nt

      Ladies It's been a day, my brown spotting turned to red so u can imagine the heart attack I was having!! Luckily the dr agreed to see me before leaving for the day! Thank g-d pnut is looking good and strong but I'm a mess
    They say I need to take it easy which I'm doing!!! Ugh this is gonna be some pregnancy.  And of course everyone at the office today had big ol bellys in the waiting room! I want that to be me already!!
    The SCH is still the same size so I don't get it as he assumes that's where the bleeding is coming from...I thought it would've shrunk a lil.
      

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING ALL! We have so much to be thankful for!!

  • Hey mamas @SP128 @Hopeful_mom @KZ1126 @Holls214 how are you and your little cubs?
    Happy last day of November and Hello December, I see you!

    I hope you all had a family-filled fun Thanksgiving! I thought about each of you and even though its not an official holiday here, we celebrate and this year I am thankful for each of you.

    Dh and I was going through a bit of a rough patch and I was almost converting our IVF cycle into Egg Freezing but ultimately he said no we will not be cancelling, soooo I'm even more excited for this last month of the year and hopefully our last Christmas with just us.

  • this process is not easy on the relationships @mrsa2017 !!!!!  there was one month we were doing clomid with timed TI and DH and I literally hated each other. Weren't speaking, then the fertile period came, and first night I had a meltdown, yelled and cried at him.  then  a few hours later I was like um, we need to BD now. 10 minute truce.  :D  Then gave up for the rest of that cycle, which made me hate him even more. I blame the hormones!

    glad you guys decided to continue with the IVF round!!!!!

  • @mrsa2017  men are jerks during this process straight up and there are a few women on here that have very supportive DH and I tell them to treasure it and they are very lucky! 
     Mine was no saint either and my first cycle is canceled because of him. I actually was starting to really look into using Donor because I was just so angry through the process myself. Glad you were able to work through it because it's not easy at all! Remember 0H and I  are not married so I could've used a doner if I chose to but I also love him and got into this whole process because I wanted to have a child with him.  I'm not gonna lie it gets tricky because this process is really really hard! Then at times we thought about donor just because maybe it would be better to use younger sperm as crazy as that sounds!!!
     Where here whenever you need us! 

    AFM: Had the 12wk testing done and they press so hard on ur belly for the sono.  The tech was nice and said I should be able to rest easy tonight so I'm hoping for the best...  that was her way of telling me that she believes that the Sonos look good which the doctor said the next day so far so good, Poopoo let it continue!!  Of course they had to poke me more then once to get 3 vials of blood.  I'm surprised it's 8/10 days for the results.  Glad it's over! My tummy was not happy.
     Nausea still having its way with me I literally brush my teeth and then tossed my cookies   :s

  • @KZ1126 @Hopeful_mom You would think that they would be so understanding and caring during this process given what we have to go through whiles they only get to jack off into a cup (rolls eyes).. Like we literally had an argument about me losing 5lbs.. I was like "I'm gonna put it back on and more so wth is the issue".. Sigh
    I will definitely say that this is like a marriage "not for the faint at heart." I wished that we didn't have to go through this with them just to save us from some added stress.
    Almost 10 months married and was thinking about giving separation papers for Christmas. Thank God my husband is who he is and because of the woman I am because I would've been doing egg freezing.
    I have been wanting to have a baby/ies from our first lost 5 years ago so it hurt that he wanted to wait longer. 
    We have been doing good for the past couple days though and I just keep all IVF related things to you gals and a close friend of mines. She is rooting harder than my husband lol.

    @Hopeful_mom I actually know the feeling of the pressing since they did it to me when they found my ruptured cyst and fibroid a few months back. I hate it when they do it and your bladder is full.. Yikes!
    I know the tests will be good. Is your next big thing the anatomy scan or do you have more tests to complete?... I guess your nausea is sticking around for a bit longer. What are you taking to combat it?

  • AFM:  didn't think I would have an update since my OB appt is next week.
    Well...Ready for the sh@t I might have shingles  :s:s:s:s 
    I don't know Of course I'm nervous but I don't know I go to the dermatologist tomorrow
    The nurses and drs were just too unsure.  Woke up sat with a small rash on my back out of no where! 
    WTH how much easier can I take it
    Yay me.  Obviously praying it's not just hoping I'm far enough along and it won't effect my nugget!!!

    @mrsa2017  guys are not good with Ivf in my experience. I to have stopped  a lot of the back-and-forth with my OH AND iTs just too difficult and I Rather share with you guys as well!!  As for the nausea please if I knew what would work I'd share it with the world!!  :D  unfortunately I'm at the point I could smell something and It'll make me vomit

  • @Hopeful_mom WTF!!!!! Of all the things, shingles?!!! I hope they are wrong this time.
    After "the talk" DH and I seem to have some understanding. I won't share anything IVF related until I really need too, because I feel as if he doesn't understand due to him not having to experience anything and that we haven't started as yet for him to get it.
    Your munchkin is not letting you forget that he/she is in charge lol...... the joys of pregnancy :D

  • Dermatologist says it's shingles , he sent the test out but he said even if the test is negative he still says it's shingles.  They're not blisters yet so there wasn't much puss to get.  It's very early stages and a mild case hopefully.  Just nervous for the next steps.
    Dr gave me antibiotics and he and OB say it's ok to take it as it's on the list B for meds that are ok but of course I'm worried.
    Called the high risk dr to discuss next with her.  I'm so angry that this has happened!! Just praying this won't hurt the baby!!

  • @Hopeful_mom Oh no! Sigh...  Why can't you catch a break. During this pregnancy you have dealt with one thing after the other but your munchkin is just hanging out during the ride. Does it hurt? Are you in pain? All your Dr's seem to be on one accord tho,  which is good. 
     I still can't believe shingles though,  of all the things. Why not regular pregnancy stuff like heart burn or indigestion. You'll be okay and so will peanut. I'm just sorry you have to deal with this when you should be taking belly shots and getting over nausea.

  • @sp128 Yikes!,  And so not good. What type  of food cravings have you had? Please take care of yourself and munchkin. Yay for being 26 weeks. You're so close to your 30s. Ha! I think this is the only time we are happy to be in our 30s :D

    @Hopeful_mom hopefully you get some relief starting from your 20s because so far you have not had it easy and I'm sad to hear that.  I can't wait for you to just enjoy your pregnancy. 

    @KZ1126 I miss hearing from you.  How are yal doing?.. 

    Everyone keep warm.  It's suppose to even drop to the 50/60s here in the Bahamas so I know it's freezing where you all live.  Happy Saturday!

    I'm good. Still waiting on AF to arrive to do the HSG. I had a feeling this was going to happen. I starting taking Myo-Inositol a month or so back thinking that it would have me on a 28 day cycle immediately,  but I learned that you have to be taking it for 3 plus months in order to see a change so that's a bummer. Still taking my Coq10 and hoping for a good cycle in Feb.  First stick is scheduled for Feb 2. Let the countdown begin!

    @sp128 I also failed my one hour glucose, so I had the 3 hour on Wed, just waiting on results. Good luck with your appointment!

    AFM: we had our first snow this weekend, it was nice to not have to shovel and just sit by the fire with some hot chocolate hehe.  There are some perks!!
