Re: APRIL FET

  • @kristimh80 - I'm keeping my FX for your ERA cycle - hoping your results come back with something and you have a reason for the last FET failing. If not, keeping FX that your next transfer will work. 

    @dragonette505 - I watched some of those Tim and Celeste videos. Their story is horrific. She is so strong, but man, what they have been through... IF really is brutally unfair. They seem like really nice people.

    @shae44 - keeping FX for you.

    @northbeach3 - We do have another embryo on ice, but we didn't have our embryos tested because I'm 33. I'd like to keep that embryo on ice for a while, and do another round of IVF with testing. If we do get more experimental with my protocols, and putting me on stronger drugs, I want to make sure it's with PGS normal embryos.

  • @dragonette505 @tosh24. Omg ladies!  I am just stunned and so happy to see this wonderful news here!!!!!
  • @funkykey Thank you!! Thinking of you! I maybe with you doing another round this Summer :) We had PGS normals, so honestly, some times I wonder how much it mattered when I read those articles about PGS not being 100% and how abnormals can fix themselves. My DH said we'd still test again, but I always wonder "what if" about the 4 boys I had that didn't make testing. But it is another thing to help maybe ease your mind when transferring knowing you're given the best possible chance :)

  • @kristimh80 I am doing ok.  I think the worst days were Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of last week.  I am definitely still having my moments here and there though.  I have to go in for another blood test tomorrow and still waiting for AF to come.  After the last cp/early miscarriage the re said I had a 30% chance with each cycle.  I’m really hoping he doesn’t say that my chances are less than that now.  How are things going for you?  Have you met with your re to figure out what is next?  You mentioned doing ER.  How does that work?
  • @laurengon82 they usually say with a loss as awful as they are (tw: and I surely know after 4) that odds are still good because you can implant. Sending hugs :(
    @BusinessWife yeah! Thanks!! Just taking it day by day!!!
    @funkykey she is a doll, and I’m so hoping these new treatments work for her... but it shows how many things some of us have to sift through. And how unexplained is usually just an explanation waiting for discovery 
  • @dragonette505 thank you.  That makes me feel a little better.
  • @laurengon82 Good to hear! Sounds like you are almost thru the worst of it. Hate you haven to go back for another blood test, but hopefully AF is on her way so you can move forward. I know for me, having a plan is my way of coping with it all. Yes, doing an ERA with the next cycle. It’s basically a mock transfer cycle. So I’ll take all ththe meds like I’m going to transfer, then on transfer day, they’ll take a biopsy of my uterus and send for testing. It’ll basically tell us if I needn’t more / less Progestrone and when I should be transferring. After we get those results, we’ll decide if going to transfer try another retrieval. We will see how much patience I have lol

    @funkeykey and @dragonette505 you both have betas tomorrow wowoowo! Seems like everyone 4/19 and 4/20 transfers have betas before me. I’m hoping once they do all three betas this week they give date for u/s. I just got through try last cohosted shower thank you Jesus. What a long ass event. Now I can just do work and home and focus on me selfishly.

  • J1006J1006 member
    Thanks everyone! 

    @mcgeeva your beta is late! Doesn’t your doctor know it’s torture to make you wait that long? Glad the baby shower is over!

    @dragonette505 and @funkykey GL at your betas tomorrow!
  • @mcgeeva Phew! Glad you survived that baby shower! I was just wrangled into co-hosting a last minute one for my new couples group at church for next Sunday. After I said ok...I was wondering what the heck did I just do! I hope your baby mama wasn't too much drama this weekend :)

    Oh boy @kristimh80 hopefully since it’s a church event no one will be crazy and have any requests! Eh she was okay but I couldn’t wait to get out of there! I’m guessing I’ll see how appreciative she is later with how she complains about gifts. I have one more shower this week but thank god I only have to pick up cupcakes and a cake. So damn hard to say No! So went to do my PIO and the bottle slipped and shattered all over my countertop!

  • @mcgeeva Glad you're next one will be easy! I know what you mean...I technically just met all these people and they were like "by the way, I think we will do a small baby shower next week". Before I knew it I said how exciting and I was in the middle of it! lol Your PIO shot is comic relief for all the craziness you've had to deal with lately :)

    Lol @kristimh80 sounds about right then you got wrapped in! Your more of a saint than I. I had a wedding shower at work last week I didn’t go to for an associate. If you don’t know my name I don’t need to donate or attend. So I stayed in my office. I sound like a stick in the mud but clearly last week I tapped out. Oh I know how could the shot possibly be normal around here. Then I used two wrong needles and clearly couldn’t draw up the PIO. I’m special

  • @mcgeeva I don't blame you one bit! Since I'm just getting to know these people...I'm trying my best not to look like a bitter Betty! Otherwise, I'd probably happen to have a cold that day too! Those PIO needles, if not paying attention, would be easy to do. I attempted once to see if I could use a q-cap to make the process easier and didn't have luck. Least you didn't stick yourself with the big needle!  :D

  • mama2b1974  That's probably for the best... I couldn't tell if I was seeing a line on 5DPT and it was anguish! My notes say "I feel pretty normal". 7DPT is probably just right (not that I could ever stop myself from testing too early!).
