my happy funny update!!
My Lil baby is already sassing me with attitude just giving me the booty at my US yesterday
The head is on the keft if that helps y'all im 19weeks today and thrilled beyond! I won't lie I'm still scared everyday! Each test terrifies me! I keep hoping by the viable week maybe things will change! I am pregnant and trying to enjoy it. Haven't bought a thing as many have already... All I did was co plain of my nausea and I can finally say is no longer morning noon and night now it more towards midday through the night but it's something. I have indigestion like I'm in my last trimester it's insane how awful it's been since day one! I know it's sounds like I'm complaining, I guess I am but more sharing with all of you! I can't wait for everyone to be on the other side and when you experience some of the same not so lovely symptoms I want u to know you're not alone!!!!
And I'm back so vag issues, never a dull moment
Hope everyone is close to their best transfer and doing well!!!

@BusinessWife - great news! Just want to say, that is such an inspiration to me. I'm still waiting on FET #2 (unfortunately), but your success with your second FET is giving me hope!! xox
@Hopeful_mom. Omg how did you get to 19 weeks already??? I am so happy for you and glad to hear you're getting closer to being able to relax and enjoy the home stretch ❤
@funkykey oh, I hope so hard for your fet2 as well! That's the crazy part too - we didn't do anything different; if anything I was less particular with diet and things, no extra massages prior, no laser accu, blast was graded a slight step down, but gosh darn it if s/he's not mighty! It has helped me a lot to keep reminding myself, this is a completely new ballgame, and my prior transfer's outcome has absolutely no bearing on this one. So excited for you, truly! ((((hugs)))
Did you get bumped over to Feburary? I haven't been lurking enough I guess lately; I can't remember what your transfer date is now?
@BusinessWife - yes, bumped to Feb. My clinic was closed at Christmas, and then my period came late so we couldn't squeeze an FET in this month - we've had (cough cough nonrefundable) plans to leave town since August. Now I'm waiting on AF, then I'll have a date.
I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I'm frustrated. I wanted to do another FET right away, goddammit! On the other hand, I'm dreading this next FET. I'm terrified that it won't work, and trying not to panic about what that will mean for my H and I. So, as sad as I am to not be moving forward right now, I'm also a little glad to have the break. It's like the calm before the storm, I think.
Our next embie is graded a step down from the one we used for FET #1. Really, really hoping FET #2 has a different outcome for me!
Thanks everyone for your encouragement. I had a 150iu HCG shot yesterday and IUI is scheduled tomorrow. I'm a bit nervous.
@funkykey I'm sorry you are experiencing mixed feelings and some sort of uncertainties. I hope that this would come to pass. I pray for more strength for you to overcome all these obstacles.
@Hopeful_mom That picture of your LO is so adorable. It gives me more hope to move forward just looking at it. Thank you.
@BusinessWife What are those numbers!!!! They look so amazing!!! I'm so happy for you!!
@funkykey I have high hopes for ur next FET thinking of u!!

@Hopeful_mom Thank you. My IUI today went smoothly and my TWW starts now. After my first failed IVF, I'm now in for another roller coaster ride of emotions and all that jazz. I hope I can give you a good update here soon.
@funkykey calm before the storm, yes. That is a good way to look at it. ❤ I felt that way at different points, too, like my polypectomy cycle, or the extra month we waited for insurance to kick in. Like a much needed breather. If it helps give you any more hope, ours was graded lightly down the second time, too! (5AA vs. 5AB) Anything can happen! It'll be a brand new transfer! I am hopeful and excited for you, too! (((Hugs)))
@tinjp78 hoping u have a relaxing 2ww! Best of luck!! Sparkling baby dust to u!!

Wanted to give all my July-August ladies update! We transferred our second and last frozen embaby on Friday! I’m hoping this little one is super sticky!! Question for you ladies: anyone have mild cramping day after FET? I didn’t have any the first time around and now with this one, last night I had about 30 min of sharp stabbing cramping on the lower left side. No spotting. I’m hoping this is a good sign of implantation cramping maybe? I plan to start Home testing on Wednesday.
Me 30 DH: 31 Married for 7 years Dx: MFI TTC since 2016 August 2017: IVF #1 (11 eggs retrieved, 8 mature, 3 fertilized with ICIS, 2 Frozen) FET #1: October 11th -- Beta only 12. CP FET #2: January 12th -- BFP!
Congratulations @tnh0413. I definitely had some moments of cramping in the days following transfer... will be keeping everything crossed for you!!!! ❤❤❤
@Hopeful_mom thanks for the well wishes. I also would like to be able to have a relaxing TWW, BUT... yesterday (2dpiui) at 8pm, my face started to itch, turn red and got swollen- it is hard to the touch. Now, almost 8am, it is not so itchy but face skin is still feeling thick. We are just waiting for 9am to call our clinic, they open that time.
@tnh0413 I also got sharp pains and twinges just the night after my first FET and had been getting them almost daily for a week during my last TWW.
@tnh0413 I had cramping for a day or 2 after our transfer, it concerned me then, but turns out everything was OK! Stay hydrated, laugh, think positive thoughts

AFM We made an unexpected decision to change clinics in the middle of my last cycle, and then AF came 2 days early so my hope for another IVF round in January has been dashed. Waiting for my next cycle in mid-February.
Thanks @Bababatty my face is back to normal. I wish you luck on your new clinic and I hope that you'd have your miracle on February. I'd be waiting for your updates.
@BusinessWife u know I feel like things are moving sooo slow thrilled to be 1/2 way there but with my track record I just think I'll always be a nervous basket case!!

@Hopeful_mom That's a beautiful picture! Thank you for sharing. I'm so happy everything is going along smoothly with baby but I hope mommy would have more peace and tranquility during this season (easy for me to say). But I understand that with all you've been through, this type of reaction, emotions would be normal. I hope that you'd find joy for the success/es you accomplish at the end of everyday. I'm always praying for you and your precious miracle.
@hopefulmom beautiful!!! Thank you so much for sharing and giving us hope!

Thank you ladies! third day in a row with a BFP! I'm using digital ones, so no lines. Beta is Monday and I can't wait. I'm trying so hard to not get hopes up just in case, because as we all know nothing is guaranteed, but we are ecstatic this weekend!

Hey ladies, Congrats @tnh0413! I so hope everything works out great on Monday (and beyond).
Just popping back in to give my happy update. I haven't been completely following this thread but do some lurking every once in a while. Really hopeful for all of you and totally understand the frustration when things take longer than you originally thing (like basically everything in this whole IF world.
I'm currently 7w2d! Last week we saw heartbeat at 6w1d. Another US next friday, then have my frist appt with my OB and an MFM in February.
This was my second transfer. So really crossing everything for you @Bababatty. Been feeling okay, a good amount of morning sickness and burping, but can't complain too much. I just try to feel happy for each day that passes without incident. I feel good about all of it, but I also know things can change in an instant, so just trying to stay focused on the positive.

@funkykey calm before the storm, yes. That is a good way to look at it. ❤ I felt that way at different points, too, like my polypectomy cycle, or the extra month we waited for insurance to kick in. Like a much needed breather. If it helps give you any more hope, ours was graded lightly down the second time, too! (5AA vs. 5AB) Anything can happen! It'll be a brand new transfer! I am hopeful and excited for you, too! (((Hugs)))

Congrats @tnh0413! I so hope everything works out great on Monday (and beyond).
Just popping back in to give my happy update. I haven't been completely following this thread but do some lurking every once in a while. Really hopeful for all of you and totally understand the frustration when things take longer than you originally thing (like basically everything in this whole IF world.
This was my second transfer. So really crossing everything for you @Bababatty.
Been feeling okay, a good amount of morning sickness and burping, but can't complain too much. I just try to feel happy for each day that passes without incident. I feel good about all of it, but I also know things can change in an instant, so just trying to stay focused on the positive.
