June IVF

KZ1126 · January 2018

i feel like i had to even sign something lol!! I guess because i had around 17 potential mature eggs, and they didn't want there to be any chance of sperm getting to them. So my sheet actually said NO UNPROTECTED SEX DURING CYCLE. Then the nurse said zero sex 5 days before transfer and 5 days after. I had spotting after getting the positive P test so they had me fully abstain for a little longer just for my own piece of mind.

@mrsa2017 i love how close you are to this being real! let the fun begin.

mrsa2017 · January 2018

@KZ1126 16 freaking days! Can you believe it? Your clinic was really adamant about you not having Sex LOL. I am in the last stretch with my supplements. I am so ready to be done. That way I know for sure that I am as lost there. I doubled up my BCP today to help with the spotting, as instructed by my coordinator. Hubby keeps asking if it slowed down or went away yet.

Hopeful_mom · January 2018

@mrsa2017 ur getting so close I can't wait!!

lil update on me and baby!!

Officially 20weeks ladies woohoo!!! Had my anatomy scan, the tech doing my scan was great she knew how scared I was and constantly kept telling me what she was doing and everything was perfect as she went!! I couldn't have asked for a better appointment even with the 10lbs I gained

she even gave me a great pic since I mentioned I didn't have one. Now I look forward to the next hoping for the best!!

My lil miracle! Still want to fast forward to may!!

mrsa2017 · January 2018

@Hopeful_mom awwwwwwww looka pooh pooh. You're half way there, woo-hoo! So my vote is that it's a girl!
Do you look pregnant to the outside world yet? The point where people doesn't have to speculate

SP128 · January 2018

@mrsa2017 couple more weeks!!!!!

@Hopeful_mom half way there. Peanut looks so cute!!!

mrsa2017 · January 2018

@sp128 More like 8 days!.... Time to rock and roll! I can't wait to get my period. I am so over these BCP causing me to spot uugghh.

Hopeful_mom · January 2018

@mrsa2017 yes but remember when it was 8 months and then 8 weeks - 8 days...how great - lets do this!!

mrsa2017 · January 2018

@Hopeful_mom Like Nike!

mrsa2017 · February 2018

Hellooooo February

Today is my Baseline day! I'm nervcited..

How are you ladies carrying babies

@Hopeful_mom @KZ1126 @sp128 @Holls214

KZ1126 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 I actually checked out the february board the other day to see if you were still on track so I knew you were baselining today!!!!!!! How did it go??? are we still on schedule?

AFM - this week started everything just going off the pregnancy rails. I was enjoying the minimal symptoms I had. Now.... I'm a cranky blob with sudden acne, reflux, swelling, and some unmentionable surprises..... But at least I'm getting closer!

SP128 · February 2018

@mrsa2017. Wooo hooooo

status quo here. Embaby is head down, this was confirmed through a growth scan last week. I have a routine ob appointment later today. Only one more every other week apt and then i go to weekly apts with non stress test

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@KZ1126 currently waiting to see the doctor.. My feet are shaking from nerves.
Yikes..... You are really experiencing all that pregnancy has to offer.

@SP128 so Vag birth it is

.... You are so close... It's coming down to the wire.

So I brought my uugghh *TMI tissue that dropped out with my clots last night * for Doc to see so that I can be sure it was nothing to worry about. I was like WTF is that last night and DH turned to Dr Google. He came up with fibroid probably dropped out or maybe we miscarried (highly unlikely). Smh the two of us together doesn't add up to one whole all the time

we were basket cases hahaha

Hopeful_mom · February 2018

@mrsa2017 excited to hear how the visit went!! I take pics of everything so I hear ya...a fibroid coming out would be nice as many have to have them surgically removed.

@sp128 @KZ1126 so excited to hear your updates...yay bellys!! Has the dr told you how much the babies weigh now?

AFM: 22 weeks y'all Saw my OB and as he walked into the room he was like you're more then 1/2 way there, YES!!! I'm lucky that I get to see my lil one as he's checking for the HB, best sound ever!! I do feel like its pretty hard to take a deep breathe so he wants me to see a cardiologist. I just feel like I'm in the 9 month which we know i'm not, wishful thinking

So another appt to make for myself. Got my bottle of fun for the glucose test for my next appt...not looking forward to that one!! Had some pizza the other night as I feel like I will need to cut back on my carbs!
Oh and one other exciting update from the OB was when I asked about the SCH he mentioned they aren't as concerned about that anymore as my uterus is much bigger

I'll take it! That darn thing had me spotting through week 16 and always scared...I always like hearing good things! Love feeling the baby move, it makes me laugh and then if I don't feel it I panic.
Here's a story to laugh at...my foot fell a sleep last night and woke me up and i was more on my back...and now i'm just suppose to be on my sides. I knew i wasn't on my back long but my foot follow asleep i thought "O g-d what if blood isn't getting to the baby!!" Yes panicked pregnant lady here - dear lord. I couldn't sleep and just kept asking the baby to wake up and move please!!!

SP128 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 Update us when you get out of doc. I would totally either bring in what dropped out of me or brought a pic.

@Hopeful_mom Embaby is estimated at 4 lb 6 oz as of last Wednesday. FX you pass your glucose test. I sure as hell failed with flying colors!!! Did get the ok from OB today to have a slice of cake at my shower though.

Holls214 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 I am so happy you are getting things moving... I checked on your February board to see how things are going.

AFM I am 21+ weeks and trucking along. I got the flu a couple weeks ago and that sucked and still have been tired a lot ever since. Baby is doing well and is now moving around all the time. Hubby has even felt him a couple times. We have no real appts for a couple weeks. Our anatomy scan went well and baby is measuring great. My cervix is shorter than is should be though from having some cancerous cells removed years ago, so I will be watched later on for early labor.

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@Hopeful_mom @Holls214 I am really the last one in the bunch LOL you guys are almost in your third trimesters. I can only imagine the joy of feeling your babies move

that brings joy to my heart.

So Doc was not concerned about my little show and tell that I brought to the appointment. He just confirmed what my bestie (she's a nurse) told me last night. That happens sometimes when you're on birth control non stop without a period. OK so my lining is still 7.5... Is that OK to go ahead and stim tomorrow? I faxed over his report to my coordinator in time but she didn't email me back. Now I'm hoping she gives me the go ahead in the morning because I'm suppose to start tomorrow. DH would be crushed if we don't and I don't have words for my feelings.

Hopeful_mom · February 2018

@mrsa2017 sounds like all went well I believe 7.5 is fine tine to start stemming! Remind me are you planning on doing a fresh transfer or testing?? Exciting to be asking these questions

mrsa2017 · February 2018

I got the call! First injection is tonight at 8 pm. I also got a prescription for metformin and baby aspirin. Anyone had to take metformin? DHL said it can cause diarrhea?!

I am still sick as a dog with this nasty cold I had for over a week now. Even my coordinator could hear it over the phone. I have got to flush this out my system. And I have that stomach ache you get when you're nervous

@Hopeful_mom fresh transfer if all goes well.

mrsa2017 · February 2018

First injection down woo-hoo.... DH flunked out and decided to watch and my bestie did everything. I iced and didn't feel a thing. I bled a little after but all and all it was a piece of cake! Now off to eat and take these metformin pills and baby aspirin..

Hopeful_mom · February 2018

@mrsa2017 Woohoo one day down yes!!! Knew all would be good! Lmao hubby whimped out, nice!!

when do u go in for monitoring?

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@Hopeful_mom he said he will do it tonight with supervision lol. I go in on Friday which will be day 8

Hopeful_mom · February 2018

what is your protocol you're doing? Good luck to hubby

SP128 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 so exciting!!!

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@Hopeful_mom 150iu fostimon and 75iu merional.... I actually mix all them together so I b only have one shot to do. Hubby rocked last night. So he'll continue doing that. I'm a proud wife

@SP128 It is. I feel so normal tho, it's like I'm just waiting for the not so great feelings.

SP128 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 Normal is ok. I didn't feel bad when I was doing shots. Can't wait to hear your progress!

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@sp128 me too. It's going to be so exciting to actually have bw and u/s.. I'm not gaining weight either since the metformin is sending me to the potty which is good and bad lol

KZ1126 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 I hope your travels went well! You are about midway through your ivf cycle now right? And I think you had a consult today?? everything good in the hood? xo

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@KZ1126 hey mama doo. All went well yesterday and appointment was good today. 10 follies on each ovary, woo-hoo! We are adding cetrotide tonight so I have two injections for tonight and tomorrow. Next appointment is Sunday so I think I'll be triggering that night and possible ER on Tuesday. Stupid fibroid is still there but thankfully not in our way. I am feeling my ovaries now and they are twinging like crazy. Our one year anniversary is on Sunday so hopefully that brings us good news. I hope they are taking my estrogen levels on Sunday because they did not today. RE said my lining looks good, "well thanks doc, we aim to please"

How are you doing love? Getting to that uncomfortable pregnant stage yet?

KZ1126 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 exciting! sounds like things are on track

my whole body is so swollen that even my NOSE has grown noticeably..... but no dilation yet. still 3 weeks left!!

Hopeful_mom · February 2018

@KZ1126 wow so close! Do they think u will go sooner?? Sorry ur feeling so swollen.

@mrsa2017 10 on each side whoah that's some party, awesome! How r u feeling? Not bloated I think u would feel ready to go for sure! Is hubby still helping? Let's go trigger!!!

AFM: I'm 23 weeks yay!! Its been a week full of testing for me and baby! OB had me go to a cardiologist since i was complaining of my breathing. Wore a heart monitor for 24hrs and had an echo for myself...waiting to hear the results. Assuming all is ok. My Dr hears my hyperventilating in my breathing and believes its all from anxiety and stress. He knows with everything I've been through why...but still says I need to try to relax...so lets hope I can work on that.
Had baby's echo today and at first the baby wasn't in the right position BUT then baby did a flip and all went smoothly! Since this was done in the hospital and english was not the womans first language she really didn't walk me through what she was doing BUT she knew I was nervous and said I should be able to sleep easy tonight SO I'm just going to stay positive and hope all is ok!

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@KZ1126 oh my you're really in the thick of it but you're almost there woo-hoo. Nursery done?

@Hopeful_mom I felt heavy and tired yesterday but really good today when I got up. Idk why I can feel the spot where he injected the cetrotide last night though, it's sore. Hubby is still doing his thing and I'm grateful because I shut my eyes tight tight before he injects and opens when he's done. I'm hoping to trigger tomorrow night and our anniversary dinner is at 7 30 so we maybe shooting up in a bathroom at the restaurant

.. How are you feeling? You are now closer to the end than you were to the beginning.

@SP128 roll call.. How are you and baby cub?

@Holls214 hello hello hello how you doing?

DH said my vag is swollen (puffy looking) a bit with my lower abdomen.. Has any had that during stims? I don't have a noticeable bloat though.

mrsa2017 · February 2018

I trigger tonight at 9pm for ER 9am on Tuesday... Yaaaaaay!

Holls214 · February 2018

Yay!!! So happy your ER is coming up. Are you doing a fresh or frozen transfer? Excited for you. I was really bloated during stims.
I’m doing pretty good. I’ll be 23 weeks next week and have a check up on Wednesday. Not sure what it’s for though. I have some days that I feel good and others I’m just really tired. Just trying to keep trucking along.

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@Holls214 I'm doing a fresh transfer on Sunday. I did so good with maintaining my normal size when for sure thought I would have a bloat out of this world. OMG you're so close to third trimester. When I give birth everyone's baby will be teething or starting to crawl LOL.
No nausea or anything anymore right? Second trimester is the most enjoyable of them all I believe. Do you know the sex yet?

Holls214 · February 2018

It’s been better than the first that’s for sure. I’m still on nausea meds at least once a day unfortunately but the couple times I didn’t take them I got sick still. It’s a boy! We did PGS testing so we found out before. Sunday- yay!!! That’s so exciting! You are so close. We are all rooting for you.

KZ1126 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 I think you're probably getting your eggies taken out right now!!!! SO exciting!!!!! Hope you get lots of good ones, keep us posted!!! Can't believe you will be PUPO in less than a week. February seemed like a million years away when we got started on this board in June right??!

Holls214 · February 2018

Good luck today @mrsa2017. Thinking of you!!!

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@Holls214 @KZ1126 we got 16 eggs, woo-hoo... Can't wait to hear stats tomorrow. I'm still groggy so I'll be back in a few to give the details... We're happy with 16! Thanks for thinking of me ladies

off to lala land

SP128 · February 2018

@mrsa2017 I missed so much!! 16 eggs!! Good for you lady. FX for a good report tomorrow. Get some rest.

mrsa2017 · February 2018

@sp128 so happy!
