Re: January 2018 IVF

  • @sidilly thank you! The nurse just called. Said out the 16, 6 were fertilized.  I am still learning the whole process and she spoke quickly about things. I will play the waiting game until all the genetic testing is done and am able to do the fet.  There is another step they are waiting for with our Parents so that will take about 2 weeks.  
  • @efavell02 congrats, that’s great news! FX for Tuesday!! 

    To all all the ladies with Monday appointments - keeping fx for lots of awesome news :) 

    **TW**
    My 2nd beta more than doubled! Waiting for Monday to schedule the 7 week US!

  • hey everyone, the board's been a buzz and so much excitement happening! welcome to the 2WW to all the ladies who just transferred. sending your embabies implantation vibes! good luck not going crazy analyzing every pinch and pull! ;)

    also looks like tomorrow's going to be a big day for lots of beta tests! hoping for rising HCG levels in everyone!

    and best of luck on your transfer, @knottie821!

    afm, dealt with a 2-day migraine this weekend and feeling "fuzzy" / dull nausea in my head. hope that's indicative of rising hcg. i should know if levels are rising steadily by tomorrow afternoon.

  • Good luck to all the ladies who are doing betas today. 
    @ed2018, 6 is pretty good number. Hopefully you and your body can relax a little before it all starts again.
    I am so her nervous for today. I had the w/o at abdominal pain yesterday that started in morning and kept getting worst. I am not sure if it's just my stomach acting up or something else is going on. I could exactly pinpoint where it was.
    I am suppose to go in today for the 3dt. The pain is a little better now, but woke up like 5 time last night from it. I figured I wait a little bit and then see if it gets better or worst and call the doctor.
    Anyone else experience that?
  • Sorry, i meant i had the worst abdominal pain.
  • Good luck today @kiwi2628!!!

  • @knottie821 I think it's worth mentioning the pain to your doctor, just to be on the safe side.
  • @hoping4lilbit @kiwi2628 @northbeach3 GL on your betas today, ladies! FX for great numbers!

    @efavell02 Congrats!!!!!!!

    @knottie821 I definitely had sharp pains (but fairly mild) that came and went and some cramping in my ovaries after my ER. Just the ovaries shrinking back to size. It wasn't constant though and didn't keep me up at night. I would mention it to your doctor. GL on your transfer today!

  • @tosh24 and @sidilly, told my doc when she called his morning. I had a small polyp last U/s so don't know if it's related to that. She told me to come in morning and that she would go over the options with me since I am out of pocket completely (although that really shouldn't matter). She also said 2 of the embryos look good and the other 2 don't.
  • Might consider transfer today depending on the polyp looks or freeze. Which doc says might only give us one good one.
    Anyone have a polyp removed and how big/small?

    @tosh2628 good luck and hope it works out!

  • @knottie821 good luck on your transfer!
  • @knottie821 Good luck and I hope you can transfer them both today!
  • @efavell02 Congrats! So happy for you!

    @kiwi2628 i'm also biting my nails over here. it feels weird b/c my nurse gave me my pregnancy calendar and new Rx for prenatal vitamins at my blood draw. i'm happy that she's so confident, but it seems weird b/c my brain is always waiting for a shoe to drop. i'm still worrying about viability... :\ ... i'm guessing you didn't decided to POS?

    good luck @knottie821. i hope you're still able to do your transfer today! glad that you've still got two good ones!

  • Hello ladies
    I've been spotty on here because the weekend has been insane!  Congrats and good luck to all the ladies having 1st and 2nd betas.  FX for great numbers!  I've been to the office every morning friday-today, I'll be happy when I don't have to be up at 5! Things are looking pretty good, at my monitoring yesterday and today I had a doctor that really took the time to measure everything and it's looking like I have 3-4 bigger follicles, 1-2 medium sized and 3-4 smaller ones.  Did my trigger last night and ER is scheduled for 7:20 tomorrow morning.  I'm nervous but excited.  I hate the wait to 5 days to see what makes it to blast then the extra 2 weeks for PGD testing to come back.  
  • Congrats @northbeach3 and @hoping4lilbit and @efavell02

    Also @efavell02 I think the fear goes away never

    Also when does TB make an October BMB? Can a @BumpAdmin get on that?

    @efavell02 bump month board. Like how we are on the infertility board, they make board for each month, so we would be due in October, so there is a board made for all other October moms so you can discuss ultrasound results, blood tests, what to buy etc... while pregnant. If you search here:

    https://forums.thebump.com/categories/the-bump-month-clubs

    They have them for every month, but no october yet which is weird because they normally make them a month or two in advance
  • @northbeach3 @hoping4lilbit @kiwi2628 Congrats, ladies! Great betas!!!! January has been a good month :)

    @kristimh80 Yay! So exciting that trigger is finally here! Enjoy your day off of shots tomorrow :p
