Hi ladies,

here is an update from me. I went to RE after being on Generelicx for 6 days(for suppression). the did the ultrasound to make sure that the supression has been successful. My doctor seemed concern that there was a cyst somewhere in my uterine! The cyst was not there before. He said sometimes it is normal to develop a cyst while on infirtility medications. he told me to continiue ganirilix until Monday and go back for evaluation on Monday.
Has anyone else developed cyst while on medication? what happened to your cycle?
I am starting to feel anxious.

Thanks
Lily

I developed cysts right after the last time we did ivf. They had to go in and remove them, which was outpatient and no big deal. Hopefully this one will shrink on it's own!
I feel so out of the loop, I have been super sick with bronchitis, strep and then the flu! I am starting to feel better, but have no energy! I hope all you ladies are doing good!

Thanks Sissa49. I hope you feel better soon.

Lilyb - Hope everything is OK when you go back for your evaluation on Monday

Sissa49 - Sorry to hear you've been hit so badly. Good to hear your starting to feel better though.

For me, still getting cramps on and off. Some worse than others. No sore boobs or any other crinone side affects so I guess that's good. At the day 4 stage and hoping if I sit quietly enough, I will feel those lucky bubbles.

Ok so I went today to the RE and had u/s and b/w to check on the follicles. I had about 16 all together, even thought the doctor said 12 are the leading ones. Either way 12 is a good number for me, Im not looking for quantity, the quality is the important thing here. My lining is 9 and my Estrogen is 1850. I dont know much about that but they said is good. I have to go back tomorrow for more u/s and b/w and doctor thinks I will trigger tomorrow for a retrieval Monday. I am so excited and happy but nervous. I really want this to be good and for this to become a BFP and a baby to bring home. I cant believe it....Im do close to it now. Praying...... Praying...... Praying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is our time ladies. I have you all in my prayers!!!!!!!!!

Remember..................................... BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi there,

My beta is on 22/3. The wait is excrutiating. Pretty sure I should be able to do a hpt on Friday but that's still 5 days away, today being Sunday for me here in Oz. All going well, implantation is complete. I still feel nothing much by way of side effects or anything else so for the whole process, it's just been some very mild cramping this time around.

Sisi, again good luck for Monday, I'm sure it's all going to go the way you hope. Don't forget that pineapple I mentioned so you can have that ready for Wednesday. To recap, it's one pineapple core cut into five pieces. Have one piece each morning on an empty stomach starting on day of transfer. Obviously, we aren't going to know if it actually works just yet but you never know. Have recently read it again on another site so it must have it's followers.

Hi,

Good to hear from you. Was wondering how you were going. My clinic does beta 15 days after transfer. Gives the Crinone 3 days to wear off. AF usually arrives on the same day so haven't had to worry about the test in the past. Really hoping this time round that I get to go. That's good news on the frozen embie front. I haven't managed to get any myself in the past. I'm hoping you won't be needing them though.

For me, apart from the mild cramps that yes, I have to lay down for as well, I haven't been feeling much at all. At 7dpt, I was really hoping something would be different. The only thing I've noticed is a slightly funny taste in my mouth and heart burn. I checked the Crinone side effects and it doesn't mention those. Also woke up this morning with blocked ears and a runny nose but that could be anything.

I have been meaning to ask everyone though if they have ever noticed that they start sneezing day after embryo transfer because when I think of it, it happens every time.

Hi,
im sorry bout not having FE but God will give you the opportunity of having a healthy baby this time!!...and in regards the crinone im kinda concerned now because i've been having blurry vision and that is one of the worst side effects from it..i hope that my blurr vision goes away, cuz i cant imagine what could happen...will keep posting from my changes if ANY..but just wanting to be 3/21 for me and 3/22 for you for our BFP!!!

Lets keep our fingers crossed and keep praying in GOD for BFP!!!

To: jessy_fernan

It might be a good idea to contact your clinic and let them know about the blurred vision. I'm thinking it's not something you want to muck around with. If you do contact them, let me know how you get on. Good Luck

Wow, Sisi congratulations! That is a great number. I really hope you get a good news in two weeks:)
As for me, I started stimming this morning. Will go for monitoring on Friday. The cyst was not gone lasttime they checked, but the doc said my estrogene was low enough that they felt comfortable moving forward! We'll see...

Jessy great news that your embie made it:) good luck with your cycle.

To: shazza203

If I were you I would poas tomorrow morning, you are right on time to be able to do a hpt. It would take the doubts off your mind. I always poas because I hate surprises from the RE. I rather find out in the confort of my home and in my own time. That way if its a BFP I dont have to stress no more till beta day and if its BFN , I can start crying sooner and that way I will stop crying sooner too. Either way you decide, good luck and let me know. Im praying for you.

Ok so out of my 12 eggs, 10 fertilized perfectly on their own and the other two didnt because they werent mature enough.  Doctor said "your husband spern and your eggs love eachother"  I loved to hear that.  How cute!!!!!  Now Im waiting for tomorrow to find out how good are they doing, Im praying for them to divide as perfect as they fertilized.

Last night I had my first progesterone oil shot and OMG.... It hurts!!! Today my butt and leg are killing me.  Hate the long needles!!!! No matter what, I will do anything possible to make this work and hold my baby in my arms soon.

GOD please help my embrios divide!!! Make them strong and let them survive, get back inside their mommy and stick for 9 months so I can hug and kiss him/her.  I know is all in your hands my lord.  Please let this be my turn, Im ready!!!!!! Praise the lord!!!!

I thought I posted a comment to you a few replies back, but it looks like it didn't post! I'm sorry. Anyway, I'm so happy to hear your results! 12 eggs is great and to have 10 fertilize, that must be a good sign (did you do ICSI?). I like how your doc put it too :) I know what you mean about those progesterone oil shots. Those needles are LONG! Did you find out your levels were lower than they'd like? Is that why they put you on it? I didn't need to go on for my IVF cycle, but for my IUI in Dec, they called me the next day and told me I needed to go on (apparently the suppositories weren't cutting it). That was the worst 5 days of butt pain! and all for nothing sadly. I"m praying it will all be worth it for you!! I'm really hoping this one is the one. Many hugs!!!!

sisi2399

Mar 16, 2011

To: Trusting77

Nice to hear from you. No I didnt use ICSI thats why the doctor made that comment :) My progesterone is not low, is normal but I have read that the suppositories are not as good as the shots, it makes perfectly sence, the needle brings it directly to your muscle and to your blood stream. It was my own choice to do the oil shots. I must be crazy I know but I would do anything to make this work.

How you doing? Im here for any support you need. Im praying for all of us to bring a baby home soon. Good luck on whatever it is you are planning on doing next. Hugs!!!!!

As for me ...OMG, OMG, OMG!!! is the first time from my 3rd tried to become pregnant and FINALLY I GOT A BFP!!!!!!!!!!!! OOOOOMMMMGGGG!!!
im just 7dpt and today in the morning i was looking for information of when to do hpt..and i did found a site that the ladies did a survey of a 3day transfer and the majority of 67% did hpt and were BFP!!!!
So i said..well let me try if i can get something..and YESSSS!!! IS BFP!!..even tho the line is blurr you can see the line..yesterday i did one and did came BFN because i tho was my 7th day already and i wasd only 6dpt...whatsoever my DH was working and i was crying in the bathroom when i saw the blurr line..well my husband came and i told him laying down in bed i were in top of him and told him" U GONNA BE A DADDY" ..he step off the bed and said.." you have to be kidding me, right:..i showed him the test and he had this biiig smile in his face and said "do another one because i still can't believe it"...well girls i did a second HPT and this one came MORE CLEAR BFP!!!..im sooo happy God did heard all your prayers and mines to have this BFP!!...beta is on monday 3/21 but my primary doctor did beta today!! so probably by tomorrow ill get a early results from my beta..then to compare it when i do my beta on monday!!!

I am so happy to hear that all is going well!!! Yay for 10 fertilized and hopefully all 10 will continue to mature! As for the shots, they are the worst! I have bruises on my backside from them. But it's all for a good cause right!!!

jessy- CONGRATS!!!! It's so fun to get those results like that! I always told my hubby that even though it is silly, I always wanted to find out and be able to surprise him, just so I felt a little more normal:) So exciting!!!

As for me, I am good, I am really nauseus at nights, but I love it:) (strange right?!?!) I am almost 7 weeks and am couting down until I am past the point of miscarrying. I don't worry too much. I know whatever happens is in the Lord's hands and His plan for me, and I have faith that he answered our prayers in getting me this far!

I hope we continue with all of these positive results! I love it!!!

It seems every time I log on now I'm hearing really good news from everyone. Seems like this may be the year. Jessy - that is excellent news, congratulations. I am very happy for you.

I've been holding off with my hpt because I'm too scared to try. Leaving it until the last minute gives me hope for a little longer. If I work up the courage in the morning to give it a go, I will let you all know the result.

Hello to all,

I took the plunge this morning and did the hpt. Expecting the worse but still hoping for the best. Now that I've stopped crying long enough to report in, I can now let you all know that I have a BFP. OH MY!!!!!

I cannot believe this is real. I still have to go and look at the stick to make sure it's actually happening. It's a faint line but truly there. I'll need to keep testing every day now so that I can make sure it's not playing tricks on me.

The support you ladies have given me has been fantastic and I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all. At this stage, I'm too excited to leave individual notes but you know I'm thinking about you all.

Oh this is wonderful news! I'm so praying that you are not being deceived and that line gets darker and darker from here on out. What a blessing!!

Mar 18, 2011

To: Trusting77

Thankyou. I'm praying for that as well. I calculated that my trigger shot was 16 days ago so that should have worn off. Every other cycle when I've tested in the past, has always been a negative regardless of the day I tested. I'm going to do the clearblue digital in the morning and see what that say's.

Still can't believe this is happening and I'm still checking that stick to see if they line is real.

Lilyb

Mar 18, 2011

Shazza203 Congratulations:) this is so exciting. I am really happy for you.

An update: I went in for monitoring after stimming since Monday night, and the news wasnot good. They really couldn't see that many folicles and they were all very small. They did mention that since I have only been stimming for a couple of days, it may be too early to say but still I am thinking I may not respond well to the meds.
I was wondering how many days after being stiming they can let you know exactly how many folliees you have? can anyone help me with this?

Thanks

The trigger shot is long gone girl, dont doubt your baby is there snuggled inside and planning to stay for at least 9 more months. Praise the lord, he did it for you. You are not lucky, you are blessed. OMG OMG OMG Im so happy for you!!!! This is so excited!!!! Enjoy my friend.

To: Lilyb

Im sorry you are not responding well to stims. Are you still using Ganarelix? Maybe they should switch to only stims for a while. Ive heard that happens to a lot of ladies here. They start with down regulating meds and then they suspended and switch to a antagonist protocol wish doesnt have it till the leading follie is about 15. I dont know maybe they are waiting for your next apoointment to do that if it continues this way. Ask your RE to suspend ganarelix next time you see him.

I will keep you in my prayers!!!!!!!!!

Lilyb

Mar 18, 2011

Thanks Sis and good luck tomorrow!
I just received another call by my nurse and she let me know that they cancelled this cycle:((( She said I only have one follicle that is very mature and basically it absorbs all the meds and doesnt let other folliees grow... When asked if I can try naturally knowing that the one follicle is there, she said sure but know that the chances are slim.Now I dont know what to do...should I go ahead and try and hope fo rthe best? What if it ends in miscarriage(since ive had multiple miscarriages in the past) and just delay the IVF process.....So many thoughts are going through my mind right now.

Trusting77

Mar 18, 2011

To: Lilyb

So sorry Lilyb. I guess if you tried and ended up pregnant, it could also stick. Getting preg via IVF should necessarily make it stick better, should it? I suppose it is worth the risk (if it works and you do get pregnant, you save the money and it happens sooner for you). You'll make the right decision. Just do what you feel at peace with.

shazza203

Mar 18, 2011

sisi2399 - Thankyou so much, it's still hard to believe but sure enough, another test this morning show's it's really there. Good luck for Friday, I feel sure it's going to work out just the way you want it this time around as well.

lilyb - My first cycle was cancelled because I didn't have enough follies as well. I was so upset I cried in the RE's office. Subsequent cycles produced more but with no success. This last cycle, only produced one and as you know, great results. I don't have a lot of experience however I agree with sisi that perhaps you should just be stimming at this time. Have a chat to them and see how you go. A friend of mine was prone to miscarriage as well, she demanded to go on a drug Clexane for her last pregnancy as she heard that it worked for someone else. It is a daily injection but she tells me it was well worth it and is now holding a son. I am now a strong believer that anything is worth a shot because anything possible.

Thanks ladies for all your good wishes!!

Sisi: Good luck my friend..you will see that you are gonna have healthy embies for your transfer and they will be the one God did choose!!!

Shazza: Congrats!! is good to see in hpt (II) positive!!!

Lylib: im sorry you having issues with your follies,but probably is too soon...my follies were the same but i were in lupron. menapur and gonal f...but they did grow after the second u/s...Stay positive and good luck in your next u/s!!

Trusting: Thanks!! Good to hear from you!!..how everything going so far??

As for me yesterday @ 4:30pm was the worst day ever (:-( )...after finishing my shift from work i went to the bathroom cuz i need to urinate and when i wipe my self there were blood in the paper... (:-o).. i tho my dreams just were gonne...cuz during the 2ww i didnt have any spotting of implantation...i did had a crazy cramping on tuesday but was for couple hours..but no spotting...i did called my RE and she told me not to worry cuz is the implantation blood was acumulated on the bottom of my uterus when the embros implanted
and yesterday exactly my due date for AF that blood did show...it was a really dark blood but was pleanty, not like spotting..she said that like i had 3 embryos transfer that maybe the reason but not to worry... she sd to keep doing the hpt till monday so i can breathe calmy and that was a good sign of been pregnant but needed to wait for my beta on monday 3/21..as of today blood has gone completly...yesterday after having the large amount of blood it ceased and today no blood..YAYYY!! DH did another hpt and was perfectly clear (II) is BFP!!!!.

Otherwise i did tested early for beta with my primary doctor and they told me was negative <6...i did a research and i did compare a regular pregnant women and a ivf pregnant women...the normal for regular preg is <50 and for us that do infertility treatments is <5..so for my understanding is a BFP!!! in the results there were a note that it says: posible early pregnancy(obviously test was done 7dpt),miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy...but everything is more clear than the water!! Im pregnant!!!!!

Ill keep posting when i have my oficial beta done on monday!!!

Good please keep giving BFP for all of us!!!

Thanks a lot my friend...its getting difficult since I got the bleeding yesterday ...today I had to go to the emergency room cuz I was bleeding too much and was cramping ....when they did my vitals I was running a little of fever...they did a beta test and came back positive 99...wow!! Good # for 10dpt...they did also a u/s but the radiology tech wasn't able to see any embies due to only having 10 days preg. ..the er doc told me to repeat my beta by Monday to see if my # has increased...I will keep my fingers crossed and will keep praying to God that my embies are alright and that this bleeding is just normal....ill keep posting!!!

shazza203 - Im so happy your BFP is getting darker.  I hope to joing you soon in about 10 days.  Im so excited.

jessy - I dont even know what to say to you.  The same thing you are experiencing right now I did last year in June.  I tested positive on a hpt at 5dpt, then the day before beta I started spotting and thought for sure things were over.  Went for the beta and it was positive at 165.  The bleeding kept on coming on and off.  2 days later beta was 367 and I was happy.  Doctor said some woman bleed thru their whole pregnancy.  I thought That was going to be my case but 2 days before my u/s at 6 weeks 2 days, I miscarried in my bathroom.  Hopefully my friend you will be one of those woman that bleed but nothing happens.  I am praying so much for you and for your babies to stay put and strong.  Remember it could be very bad, but it could be nothing at all. Try to stay calm (I know is difficult) But the stress only make things worse.  Luv yah!!!!

About me - My transfer went great.  I felt like a princess.  I was the only patient, the only nurse there was only for me, the doctor, was only for me and the embriologist was only for me.  My regular RE was out of state and his partner did the transfer.  His wife was the embriologist.  The doctor was running late because there was an emergency in the hospital so I had to wait about an hour and a half so the nurse and the embriologist stayed in the room with me chatting and laughing the whole time.  They brought me crackers, juice and omg I felt so special.  The transfer itself went very smooth even though it was very unconfortable becuase of the full bladder.  After it was all done they kept me in bed for about 1/2 hour and then went to the bathroom and went home to continue to rest.

My embrios were of very good quality. We transfered 3..... yes 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OMG!!!!  2 were blasts and 1 was a morula.  Of the 2 blasts one was better then the other and when they were ready to place it inside my wumb the embriologist told me that when she took a look at them right before the transfer wish was about 2 hours after they took the pics for me, the better blast was already hatching.  WOOHOO!!!!! I cant wait till my BFP!!!! Im so excited!!!!!  GOD is great!!!! I believe GOD himself did the whole process for me.  Thank you my lord.

Remember ........................... BELIEVE!!!!!1

Well there is a lot to be said for testing early but unfortunately a lot more to be said for not testing at all until we are told to. As you know, I tested on Friday and got an unbelievable result. Saturday I did a digital test that showed in words that my dream had finally come true. Yesterday another test again showed everything was going well. Last night, I was awake in the wee hours so hungry I almost got back out of bed to eat. Today, that faint line is even fainter than Friday. I don't understand and I'm trying not to give up hope. I'm not in pain but the cramps are still there. Not quite period pain, but not far off it either. Beta day is tomorrow, will report how it goes.

Hello everyone,

sisi2399 - just wanted to say I had a good smile when you mentioned that you have been eating pineapple core. Don't forget to stop on day 5. I truly am sure it's going to work just fine.

lilyb - a lot of women fall naturally after trying ivf so I hope it goes well for you and you won't need ivf next month

sissa49 - that's great news about the u/s, very, very happy for you. enjoy.

jessy_fernan - thinking of you and hoping that you may give us some good news

For me - I'm not sure what other clinics look for but mine advised they were looking for numbers close to 200. I was half expecting bad news but was quite shocked when they told me the number was 4. I've lost my baby, I just have to wait for AF to appear to signify the end. While I'm sad, I am going to take my RE's advice and stay strong. I will be a mum and now that I have proven that I can do this, I'm not going to give up.

I'll be checking up on everyone, so please keep posting. Good luck and best wishes.

My cycle is supposed to start from next month so,can we TTC naturally this month since, I am taking Medroxyprogesterone(Provera) to induce my periods ??

Does anyone know when I should expect AF to arrive after stopping the meds(Bravelle)? As you know my cycle got cancelled and I stopped taking the shots last Friday. During my Ultrasound they did see a follicle that measured 22 mm. So I am guessing I was just about to ovulate. If that was the case, should I expect AF to arrive in two weeks after ovulation, or will it get longer for my body to adjust?

Thanks

Just wanted to let you ladies know that things are not looking too good for me. Today is 6dp5dt and couldnt hold myself and poas this morning at 4am and it was negative. Have friend telling me that they went thru the same thing and then got a positive on or about day 7 or 8 after transfer. Please keep me and my embies in your prayers.

Trusting GOD, he will make this happen for me this time.

Hey, don't beat yourself up. It's way too early in my opinion. You still have another 6 days or so 2 ur beta. Plus I don't think your babies will be producing enough hcg just yet for you to get a positive on an hpt. I hate to suggest this but maybe you shouldn't test. I hate to see you down cause you're always so positive. Just relax & let God do his bit for you. Enjoy ur 2ww cause after this, it's total mayhem.

To: sisi2399

Hi there, I have to agree with Pumbaa23 on this one. In hindsight, I would wait until beta or at least the day before to test. The earliest for you would probably be 9dpt anyway but having said that, as you know, I tested at 11dpt with a 3day embie and got a positive, only to find my embie didn't make it four days later. Learning I had a biochemical was pretty hard to hear and truly now wish I had waited.

My advice would be to relax, try and stay calm, think good thoughts.

regards

Hey guys!!!!! I know I've been MIA for a while, but congrats on all those BFPs!!!!!!! That's great news!!!!! My RE says I can start this next cycle as soon as AF arrives. She's making me wait this month though. Anyone know if it's normal to have an unusually long cycle after a chemical preg? It's not real long, but the longest I've ever had- 33 days so far. I was cramping for a couple of days, but not anymore. I just wish it would hurry so we can start again!

Hi ladies!!

Hope all of us that had bfn are doing better and getting stronger for next cycle...here's my last update from my biochemical pregnancy..

**started bleeding @ 8dpd **
2nd beta @ 9dpt= 99 :-O
**@ 9dpt had to go to emergency room..bleeding too much,lots of cramps and running with fever..i think i lost my embies.. ;-( **
3rd beta @ 11dpt= 43 :-(
**still bleeding**
4th beta @ 13dpt =10 ;-(
**still bleeding**
5th beta @ 15dpt =2 :(

Well this was my journey having BFP for the first time..too sad it did ended too soon...well journey doesnt end here..we need to keep trying untill we bring a healthy baby or babies home...

As for me well i have appoitment with my RE 4/18 to sit and talk about what might be the reason of a failure and what to do for next cycle to be a success!!!

Remeber ladies dont give up your hopes..lets keep hangin in there!!

Love Jessy!!!!

Hi,

My 1st beta was 15dpt = 4. Have to have 2nd tomorrow to make sure it's at 0 & ready for next cycle. Very little bleeding over two days & very dark in colour. That can happen apparantley.

The only thing I've been able to learn about chemical pregnancies myself as that they're very common and possibly due to a missing chromosome. Another possiblity is an infection of which I did have after my tooth was removed. The only thing my clinic said was, unfortunatley, it's just one of those things. The good news is, if you can call it that, is that the chances of a normal pregancy are good. Here's hoping for all of us.

it has been quiet for a while here. I hope everyone is doing well. I am going to start a new IVF cycle this month. This time the doc. wants to prolong the suppression phase(I ovulated early last time on Ganerilix). So, I am supposed to check and see if i get LH surge and then a week later start the Ganerilix. Anyone else trying in April?

To: Lilyb

The same thing happened with me too..I ovulated early while taking Ganirelix..
so,I am also going to start a new cycle from this month if all goes well..
Right now I am on BC pills..then I will be on Lupron..
I have heard about side effects of Lupron and it makes me nervous :(

good luck to you :)

Hi there, I'm just waiting for AF to start my next cycle. I ovulated 2 days ago so I'm pretty sure that will be in the next two weeks.

shazza and ss2003 good luck to you both. I have a high FSh, so I got the donor egg speech last time when my cycle got cancelled, but I want to try with my own eggs first.

Hi I'm new to posting. Day 4 post ER, waiting on pins and needles for the day 5 call tomorrow to see how many embies made it to balst.  Doing pgd (hopefully) and hopefully a fresh transefer day after tomorrow.  So far all I know is 9 embryos, one made it to morula by 7 am today.may do assisted hatching too. The waiting and uncertainty are making me crazy. Not to mention the weight gain and the hormones.

Questions:
Has anyone had intercourse druing the week between retrieval and transfer?  I know we r not supposed to, but we had "homework" the week prior to ER bc there was fluid left in the uterus from my period, and we kinda slipped this morning.  Nurse said the doc got all the follies and eggs out....nervous. Im sure the ovaries didnt twist bc it was very quick ad easy.

anyone else had huge weight gain with IVF? I am a runner and have not been allowed to exercise since New years, I've gained 15 lbs. Brief history, we got preg naturally Christmas 2010, chemical pregnancy and mc New Years. Got preg again right away the next month, hcgs were going up but not doubling, saw heartbeat on Valentines Day, then mc 2 weeks later.  had D&E but results were inconclusive.  Started BCP day of the D&E, lupron 3 weeks later, stim meds (Bravelle and Menopur)for 2 weeks, ER 4 days ago. 10 follies, 10 eggs. 9 fertilized.  been doing progesterone in oil for 4 days, along with Medrolprednisone.  Had brown clumpy discharge yesterday (from follies?)

How does everyone cope with the stress and lack of control???
