, but they didn't say anything to me about having to have a full bladder. I'd call and ask them just to make sure and then you can ask them about the crinone as well. I just did the progesterone injections, so I don't know about the crinone.
Beachdreams: I'm so happy for you and your DH!! Will be praying for your sticky little beans.
Waiting: All my ultrasounds up to 9 week were vaginally so you don't need a full bladder, and you don't have to skip the crinone, I used to take it at least 2 hours prior to my appointments. Now that somebody mentioned it, up to this point in the pregnancy I have been never asked to have a full bladder for my ultrasounds.
Hey Ladies, just checking in on all of you. I still read your messages. Im so happy for all you that are expecting, and going to start 2WW soon. Also, ones that are still persuing pregnancy. I will be praying for all of you.
I decided to go to my RE. I made an appoint its May 9 next wed. The IVF nurse is putting together a packet of donor embryos
for us, to match my dh and myself as close as possible. Im really excited, but dh doesnt seem to say a whole lot. He wants to have a baby so bad. But has given up all hope. We are so far in depth with loans on all the previous tries. He doesnt see a way that we can afford another try. Which now depresses me!!!! I feel so defeated....... Does anyone know of anywhere that helps fund IVF at all? The only meds I will take are Estrodil and Progestrone injections. The actual adoption on the embryos
2long2wait i am so sorry!! i am praying for u. did AF come or u just get a neg test. not to get your hopes too high but with my first natural pregnancy i got a bfn blood test. Dh told me they were wrong he knew my body and something was different. sure enough i took a test several days later and got a bfp on and hpt.
waiting: Yeah for no crinone for a while. I cant wait until your us.
2long2wait- I am so sorry for your BFN. Thinking and praying for you.
All- the transfer went well. We had 2 beautiful blasts grade 6, and we still had all the others too. Should find out Friday whether or not they are able to freeze them. Now the 2WW starts and we leave for Philadelphia tomorrow morning.
My nephew was born at 12:30 am on May 2 weighing in at a whopping 8 pounds. Although I don't know how long he was for some reason the weigh and length is not important in my DH's culture.
Sounds like you had a wonderful transfer. Now the dreaded 2WW. I really believe that you will be pregnant. Im so excited for you. I will keep you in my prayers.....XOXOXO
I am so, so sorry.... I wish I could say something to make you feel better..
If you have any questions reg. embryo adoption (if it's an option for you) - I am here... You are in my prayers.
Thank you:-))
Jacob is doing great - he is right on schedule with development and weighs 1 pound 8 oz.
The pregnancy is getting a little more uncomfortable at this point - especially the heartburn, but I will gladly accept everything just to see my boy healthy:-)
How are you doing? Sending lots of hugs your way!!!
Hello All,
I hope everything is well with everyone. I feel really great thank god no heart burn, swollen feet or sleepness night as of yet...lol Yesterday, I had my 27 week scan and everything went well baby is doing well and weighing a wooping 2.2 pounds.They did a 4D ultrasound and he was showing off bc he was flipping and doing all kinds of crazy things in there. The good news is that my High Risk doctor has released me and I can now go to my regular gyno. Im so happy about that and relieved although I knew I had nothing to worry about bc GOD has already taken care of it. I literally have 12 more weeks to go..Im going to start counting down those weeks starting next Tuesday. Wishing everyone thats pregnant a happy and healthy pregnancy, and those in the 2 week wait..try to keep yourselves busy and not think about testing..(i know its hard bc i didnt even listen to my own advice..lol) Those of you who werent successful this cycle dont loose faith, it will happen when you least expect it to.
babypatch11: I am doing good. My appointment is on Tuesday. I am so excited and yet nervous.
Dh is now wearing his ankle brace all the time so it is doing better. still swollen but not as bad. U r so sweet to ask.
Want2beAmommybad I am so clad that things are going so well. yeah for being back with your normal obgyn. I hope the next 12 weeks stay as wonderful as the first 28.
All: so i just posted a picture that i would actually like for all of u ladies to comment on. I am on cd 22. there is tmi on the picture and my journal. i am now having ew cm. my last 3 cycles have been 24,26, 28 days in that order. Why this late in my cycle. i am 2-6 days from af is my pattern holds. i see the re in 4 days. my boobs have leaked on and off. the have sharp pain in them. not really burning or the normal ache.
Waiting: several girls dont have symptoms. it is ok that u dont have any. try to relax and not think negitive until something goes wrong. Enjoy the good moments.
I m sorry for ur bfn again.
I don't understand y it isn't working.
Would u consider embryo adoption or reg adoption?? I am thinking of adopting but I don't know where to start n it will b more $$ n a long process again.
I really wish God could tell me where to go from here. It's such an emotional pain. It never goes away. It's always in the back of my mind n heart.
Giuliana from E! News got a surrogate for her last embryos, after having breast cancer by I m happy it worked for her.
I wish I had $ n more embryos to even attempt that.
I only have the one frozen n I m waiting til school is out to try it. So I can b stress free. I can't go through it again now.
My husband is like if it doesn't work it's just not meant to b. No use on another cycle cuz then mayb the baby will b born with problems if it even does ever happen. Plus I m not covered for any more cycles. I did 3 already. I wish I waited til summer to do 3rd. I should've done frozen in Dec. or I should've used frozen last Aug. instead of transferring that one I shouldve used both n not froze it. Dr didn't know how things would turn out. What can u do.
Please stay strong. I know it's very hard n depressing n u feel like this life has no meaning. I feel that way too some days. So depressing!!!
There has to b something bigger for us in store. Believe it n it will happen.
Thanks for asking. We are good. Finally got the breastfeeding down and weight is good now. She is 7 weeks now and I can't believe it!
How are you doing? Have u selected new embies? I know FET with donated embies is about 4k @ my RE office is that what ur office charges? I guess it is better than full IVF cycle but it does still sting! Hope things are working out for you.
I'm so sorry aboutyour BFN!! I know there is nothing I can't to make you feel better. I just really hope that you can find a way to fulfill your dream of becoming a mother, even if it is embryo adoption or just through adoption. Take care
Good to hear from you I think about you often and am waiting patiently for you to do your FET!!!!
OMG I cant believe Guianna got a surrogate and it worked! I wish it were that easy in Australia, seriously you have to know someone (as in legally a stranger cannot be your surrogate) and you are not allowed to pay. So surragacy here is pretty much non existent! If i could get a surrogate tomorrow I would, I would sell my house, car etc to get one lol!
Ive started looking into donor eggs. My friend said she would donate her eggs but she is 39 and older than me and did IVF too so im not sure how much better her eggs would be or even if its my eggs or just my STUPID body that the eggs wont cling too!
So cmon when are you doing your FET!!! I know why you havent I held off doing mine as long as I could as I always wanted it as my backup plan.......take your time do it when the time is right (but hurry up im impatient lol)
ladies wanting to adopt let me know and i will give u the information i have on it. i will also share my info about going out of the USA and getting ivf or donor egg for 3k
Rmmoye - can u inbox me that link to the 3K donor embies? It didn't come through here. If we decide to have a sibling that may be a possibility...
Good luck with the appt! I can't wait to hear what RE says especially about the leaking breasts
Ultrasound went great! Gummy near is measuring 3 days ahead of schedule and heartbeat was 160 which we got to hear! I didn't know I'd be able to hear it!!! Pics coming as soon as I get home!
I'm so happy that everything went well, and that you were able to hear the heartbeat. That is the best sound in the world and is such an amazing feeling when you heart it for the first time.
Hi girls!!! Sorry I've been MIA for a while!! I found that just living my life and not thinking baby, baby, baby, has really eased my stress level. In the past, I was totally obsessed with becoming pregnant. I constantly read articles, logged on to websites, and watched every television show that was related to conceiving and childbirth. Now I’m just taking it one day at a time. I still think of each and everyone here, and will never forget the outpouring of support I received when I miscarried.
Anyhow, I had U/S and labs today. Lining is now 8.4 and the estrogen level is 296. FET is still on for May 16 at 10: 45 am. DH and I are planning to transfer two six day blast and praying this is our time!!!
I am so happy to see that you are trying again soon!!! Your numbers look great and I believe this is IT for you! Sending positive thoughts and prayers your way. xoxo
I found out that i mad a great decision by changing RE's. My Re did run half the blood test they could have and should have!!! What was the point in me asking over and over if there were any more test.
It as nice to have a dr spend 1 hour wit me instead of just rushing me out the door. MY old re sent part of my medical records only. The new one ad no labs to look at. I was mad!!!! They also left out the us pics and the surgery pics. he said he needed those. they are refusing to send those. I did get them to send the labs but only after i left. He waited and waited. Come to find out after i called them that out of the normal standard blood work that is ran when u have reaccurent miscarriages(RM) they only ran 4 out of 13. So i called my normal ob because i remember since he handled the 2 of my mcs including the one with the dnc he ran some of his own labs. My normal obgyn ran at least 6 on that list + he checked my tyroid and for lupis and a few other things. It up set me to learn that my RE told me he ran every possible test on several different occasions and did even run half of them!!!! What ever test where not ran he wants ran!!! He als told me to take an asprin a day (baby) just incase it was the clotting disorder. he said he wouldn't know until he got the labs they had ran if i had been checked for this. what it does is your body see the baby as a bleed so it clots off that area starving the baby. I am going to buy some today when i go into town.
He also told us that i was a hard case because of the rm He said he wanted to know why i was losing the baby before we moved onto the ivf. he said that if they ran all the test ( which now we know they did not) and everything was normal then what he wanted us to do was to go Atlanta GA to RBA because they have a process where they watch the embryos and actually study them and do genetic test on them. they will know if they have all of the cromozones (sp) they need and can tell u if they are a boy or girl. It makes it a day 7-8 transfer.
I am having my ob send there test results to the new Re and she said that if i would bring the list to her today that she would see what had not been ran and let me know. I am praying it is something as simple as the clotting thing.
TAGLAS I am so happy to see you on here. I am glad u are doing another fet and pray the is your blessed cycle. I understand u not being on here. u what is best for u. As long as we know u are ok.
One more thing all: he didnt do the slide for my breast leakage. once he saw we had no insurance he just wrote me out a prescription for 1 month to see if this works. if it does then problem solved. he said some times the blood test will not pick up the prolacton levels going up.
Glad u went to a new RE. You have the right to request your medical records Even just for your own records. They have no right to refuse although they can make u pay. You should threaten them that you will call the Medical Board. That they are delaying treatment due to this. Glad things are looking up!
Went to my RE appt to look at possible new embryo donors. WE have found one. I'll try to explain without to much confusion. The Egg donor is a regular donor at my clinic and the adoption from her this last retrieval they used the DH sperm with Donor Eggs. The receipants got pregnant twice with her donor eggs and his sperm. With TWINS both times. They were 2 CD 3 embryos.
So, there is 2 blast left. From this donor. I feel better about this one, because they have used her eggs several times, shes putting herself through Nursing school. So we know her eggs are GREAT and the sperm that it was matched with seems that they are working great together. Also, my last adoption embryos. It was Husband/Wife embryos. with some problems and she was 39 at time of embryos were made. They were 9yrs old.
So with this one, shes in good healthy eggs and 26 and sperm donor was 36 although I dont think that matters on him. So, I just need 1 Blast to take.
and money. RE said I could start next cycle. Which should be around end of May then mid to 3rd week of june for transfer. I feel like I finally have so hope again. I will be praying for all of you, I always do. There has got to be a new group of mommys starting up soon..... Dont yall agree!!!! WE'll start with TAGLAS. XOXOXOXO
I will be Praying for you a successful transfer..... Your lining sounds great! I know your excited. This time your gonna have a Beautiful Baby, maybe 2. Hopefully, I'll be right behind you next month around the same time. Take care of yourself. XOXOXOXO
The new donor embies sound good. Much more confident with a younger donor and not someone with fertility issues herself. I believe this will work for you!!
Ladies the name of that procedure is PGD http: //rba- online.com/ivf/index .php?PGD-18

I am now taking an asprin a day just incase it is one of the clotting disorders. I talked to my obgyn and he had ran 8/13 off of the new RE's list. he is sending them to him. He is also going to run the last 5 for me and send them to him so that i dont have to drive back to Savannah.
Hi ladies,
I'm glad everybody is moving along with treatment options and want to wish good luck to those with upcoming transfers.
I want to share some information with you, this is the website of the clinic were I had my IVF done, they are excellent and have a lot of information regarding infertility it may be helpful for some of you.
Babypatch11 - excellent news on finding some new babies in the making!!!! I have started advertising for donor eggs. I also looked at surrogacy and have found out its now not only illegal to find someone in Australia to do it but it is illegal for Australians to go overseas and pay someone also. So that puts surrogacy right out of the question which is pretty devistating as I sorta always had that as the very last resort but one more avenue not open. I get so sick of people saying "just adopt of find a surrogate".........if only it were that easy! My sister has offered me her eggs but she is 40 and did three goes at getting her own ivf baby....so I just think I would be wasting my time and money with them.
Rmmoye - thank goodness you changed clinics!!! I have just done the same. They have found some large cysts on my ovaries probably caused by the last hack job they did on me to get eggs. I hope they find some causes of your issues so they can fix them and giveyou a bouncing baby!
Thanks girl! i hope your new clinic can do wonders for u too. I hate that we trust people so much but until u have been through this for a while u dont know what to expect so u just have to trust blindly that they are doing a good job. U would think for the amount of money they are being paid they would.
Thank you for your sweet words. That means alot to me. Im so sorry of the hard time that your having. Im glad you have a new RE. I know that your worried about using your sisters eggs, but maybe they will work for you. Everyone is different. There is ladies on the forums that are mid 40's using there own eggs after multiple miscarriages and attempts and they are pregnant now. Im sorry that everything over there in Australia is so difficult! It shouldnt be. Please Pray about your sisters offer, she is so sweet. I will Pray for you too.When GOD shuts one door, he opens a Window. XOXOXOXOXO
Our trip was great! I had so much fun in Philadelphia, walking the streets shopping. Sure made this 2 weeks fly by, also kept me from concentrating on the transfer. My DH was so anxious that he wanted me to take a test mid day yesterday so we went to the dollar store and bought 3. At first there was no line, but we waited the 3 required minutes and GUESS WHAT..... We're pregnant. He didn't trust the cheap test so we went to buy the Digital one, it came back with pregnant also. Now waiting for the beta test on Monday. I'm not sure if I should be excited or nervous. DH is going around saying we have a line, our code that no one knows.... LOL. I hope you all have a beautiful day.
Congratulations!!!!! That is wonderful news. Im so Excited for you :) That is the BEST FEELING to Finally know that your PREGNANT! Thats sweet that your walking around with code words. How cute is that. Maybe you'll be having twins. Since 8days after transfer and were able to pick up the HCG. Especially on a digital test. Im truly happy for both of you!!!!! Cant wait to hear your number monday...... XOXOXOXO
Congratulations!!!!! Girl i am so excited for u. I bet Monday u will get great numbers. Yeah for one more baby in our group. Love the code words. My dh would just say it and then say opps!! Yeah!!!
Hcg trigger on May 3rd, anxious so first HPT was done on 5/11. Got a very very faint positive. Tested again on 5/13 and got another faint positive. Looks more defined though. Could traces of 10,000 units still be lingering? Go for Beta on the 18th. Oh and I did IUI.
It takes about 10 days for trigger to be out so you are on the line. It is possible you are pregnant. Did u test out the trigger? I would test again after another day or two with first morning urine. I hope it is a true pos.
dancingmama: 9 little ones made it to freeze!!! I am so excited for u. This is wonderful news. Looking forward to hearing the betas today.
Arbre: It takes- 10 days for trigger to be out so it is possible you are pregnant. I know some girls that have gotten a + as early as 10dpiui. I would test tomorrow and then u will know if the line is getting darker or not.
WOW so many in the freezer you must have super strong eggs!!! Ive only ever had one make the freezer in 4 rounds the last three 0 made it! This is a very good sign you have good eggs! I know your going to to get a BFP!
I wish they were my own eggs but they were graciously donated by a unknown donor. They discovered after a blightened ovum in 2010 that my ovaries could not been seen well enough for an egg retrieval. So we had to make the decision to use a donor. This is our 3rd fresh trial with one frozen in between. Going to be going here in a few minutes to do my beta, then hopefully they will call me before I go completely gray or pace a hole in my floor, LOL. Hope you have a wonderful day.
9 little ones made it to freeze!!! I am so excited for u. This is wonderful news. Looking forward to hearing the betas today.
this message was meant for u and not dancing. I cant wait for your beta results to post.
Well the nurse just called me, the results are in......993
She said we could be suspicious of twins but it could just be a healthy singleton. I go back on Wednesday for the second test, then if all is good we will go on May 30 for our first U/S.
OMG!!! Congratulations that is such a great number. I'm so happy for you, and that could be twins but you can't never rely on the numbers. I'll be waiting for your next beta on Wednesday.
Oh my goodness!!!! 993 amazing..... I bet you are having twins. Im so excited for you and DH. I know that you are over the moon. I cant wait to hear your next numbers!!!
This gives me hope. DH and myself are having to go with adoption embryo. The donors have 2 blast 5day. So, after 6 IUIs and 1 IVF. I pray this will be the one that works for us. The last one was donors that were age 38 (egg donor) and dh age (49) not that his mattered. We adopted husband and wife embryos. 3 were transferred. I achieved pregnancy but had blighted ovum misscarriage. So, these blast that just became available are from a regular egg donor at the facility. And the 2blast that are ready for us. Are supposed to be very good. Because she is a actual donor for there office with lots of pregnancy's. Several sets of twins. Know weve got to get the money up again. Hope to do transfer in june.
Back to you, im so excited for you. Congratulations. keep me updated!!!
WOW! What Great numbers.... I wrote you a few minutes ago, im not sure what happened to it. I know that you are on cloud 9. This is such amazing news. I wont be suprised if its twins :) I cant wait to hear you new numbers on wednesday. I will be praying for you.
Hey, how are you feeling? Hows the baby treating you?
I found a donor. She is actually a egg donor for the office I go to. But, the eggs are already with a donor sperm. But, this egg donor has 2sets of twins and 2 girls from this last set of eggs. So the couple that adopted the eggs has two left over BLAST because they couldnt use the wifes eggs. So I know the eggs are very good. She has been a donor at that clinic I believe 3 times. Shes going to nursing school. She is 28. Im excited. Hopefully should know tomorrow if we are going to have the money to do this transfer on this cycle. Should have AF around May 28. Could be a little off since I just had a miscarriage. Not sure how that works. Anyway, hope you and baby are doing well. XOXOXOXO
I am doing good, and Christian is doing great, growing fast. I'm my tummy is getting big, and I'm getting tired more easily.
I'm really happy that you found a donor with good quality embies!!! I really hope that you'll be able to do your transfer in June. I'll keep you in my prayers!!
Good Morning, we are very excited. I'm very excited for you, that you found a great donor. Your donors record sounds like mine. She has donated 3 times before and all 3 have ended in twin pregnancy. I hope that you will be able to get the finances straight so that you can do the transfer in June. I will be praying extra hard for you. Xoxoxoxoxo
Beach dream: Oh my goodness!!!! 993 amazing!!! I am excited for u. I think at least twins!!! this is a great number!!! Yeah i cant wait to hear the next one.
babypatch11:I am really happy for u. I cant believe how quickly this will happen. I hope u can get up the money. I know dh is probably a little disappointed that u cant use his sperm but a baby is a baby. How crazy would that be to get twins.
ALL: I am on cd 33 I am guessing that maybe i did o late this month. cd22. We bd that day so maybe we caught it right on. I am taking an asprin just in case. either way this means that i want be on my period while in Peru.
Ok so today is my 12 day since my trigger. I tested this morning and it took the test a while to give results so I went back to sleep, well when woke I looked at the test there was a positive. The line was there just not as thick as the control line but def there. What are you guys thoughts?
I'm due on 9/6 but I'm having a C-section at 37 weeks. I had a surgery to remove fibroids on 2008 and the OB does not want me to go into labor and risk uterine rupture from the contractions. I can't believe I'm only 3 months away and trying to get everything ready before the baby is born.
I had a c section for the same reason! I am doing well. My baby girl is 2 mos old today! I can't believe it. She is so good and I am going back to work in about 2 weeks. Not looking forwrd to that part. Take advantage before your belly gets too big to do all the prep you need! ;)
I think u are good being 12 days out. i would test again in a day or two. just use one of the cheap ones for the dollar stor or walmart has .88. that means that u are only 10-11dpiui. that is a really early + for iui but i have heard of it before. i got mine at 12piui. Good luck keep me updated.
Thank you. Im finally getting excited again. I pray that this works. Im so glad to hear that you are doing well and the baby. What did you have put back in you?
Thank you. DH would love for it to be his sperm. But, he's very happy. Im suprised that he's even going to go through this again. He said he wouldn't. When do you think your gonna be able to start a new cycle? Thank you for your prayers. Your in my prayers too.
Hey how are you and baby doing? Are you getting any sleep?
My clinic is pretty reasonable. I guess just after a while of all this its taking a toll on our bank account. But, a FET is 4700.00 with Embryo Adoption. Plus cost of bloodwork, sonograms, and meds. A Donor Egg Adoption starts at 11,000.00 plus all the extras. I dont have medical that will cover any of this. So its all on us..... Please keep us in your prayer and my embies...
Im Excited to announce that we have to money to move foward with the transfer..... YEAH!! I should have AF at the end of May so transfer will be in june. All we have is 2 Blast. I dont know if they are 5 or 6 day blast. Is there much difference? Do any of you think that I have any greater chance of getting pregnant with these 2 and everything working out alright. I have to admit im a little scared after what I just went through. But, these were from an actual egg donor from the clinic. She is 28 but I think 26 at retrieval. They are 2yrs old. The donor has 2 daughters of her own. Also, 3 different egg donations. Was told she was an excellent donor. Also, her last pregnancy from this same group of embryos were adopting. They got pregnant with CD2 3embroys with twins. So all thats left are the 2blast which I will have put back in me. But, I dont know the Grades or day 5or 6blast. Does it matter since they are blast? I just want to have a baby. How does this sound to all of you? Please keep us in your prayers and I will continue to pray for each one of you. Its so GREAT to have ALL of you to talk to and ask questions.... XOXOXOXOXO
Thank you:-) I am doing great! I will be 26 weeks on Thursday - time really started flying! There is still huge pile of stuff in the nursery, but we are planning to clean it on weekend. I already have everything for the baby and can't wait to meet him in about 3 months!
How are you doing, new Mama? xoxo
I'm glad to hear that you got your finances straight and are ready to move on with the FET. It sounds like you got a good donor with great quality eggs. I'll be praying for you.
As for me I have to really thank God that I'm pregnant. This was my first IVF cycle, I had 27 eggs retrieve, 14 fertilized, and at th end I had to 5 days blastocytes transfered and have 6 frozen. We may try again next year and go for a baby sister for Christian.
I am so excited that you were able to get the money!!! I hate that it couldn't be the way u wanted it to be with dh's sperm but u know what maybe this is what God had planned for u. I am still learning about ivf but this sounds good to me. I pray it works for u. Did the doctors office ever say if there were reducing the cost since you could not use dh's sperm? I hope so so that your cost is less. I am so excited for you!!! God is always blessing us.
As far as me. Things are in the air. I am on cd 34. I took a test on Monday and it was neg so i am guess just a crazy cycle. Or i Oed late (cd22 because of the ewcm) and af wouldn't really be due until Friday or Saturday. I am staying on asprin unitl af shows up. Just incase i am pregnant and it is one of those disoreds that hasnt been checked. once i am not pregnant for sure then i will go off of them for at least two days and then have the blood work drawn. It is going to be expensive but well worth it if it shows us what is worng. If not then we do the pgn in Atlanta which is 20,000. that will mean that will will have a lot more money to save up.
I am also nervous that my Endo is back because of the dizziness i am feeling and so much nausea. That with the late cycle means endo. We are going on Vacation the first week of June and His family is taking us to the lake the last week of may. It will be one big vacation with just a few days of work in-between. I am hoping all of that relaxing time will help us with things.
So today is the BIG day!!! I will be praying for you, sis and sending lots of positive vibes your way! Take it easy and let your dh take care of you afterwards. xoxo
Im so EXCITED for you! Be sure to rest and let dh take care of you. The 2WW, dreadful But, try not to think about it. I will be praying for you. Cant wait to hear how many were put back. XOXOXOXO
OMGOODNESS!!!! What wonderful numbers..... I feel some twins. When is your sono? Im so EXCITED for you and DH. Did you have 2 5day blast or 6day blast? is there much dfference. I dont know which day my new blast will be. Yes my prayers are being answered.... Thank you! I will keep you and baby's in my prayers.. XOXOXOXOXO
I had 2 5d blast transferred grade 6. We were able to freeze 9 6d blasts. From what they are telling me that the longer the blast are out, ie 5d or 6d the stronger they are. Our first U/S is on May 30 at 3:30, its gonna kill me having to wait all day to get it done but had to because DH will be post call and he doesn't finish til 12 and it takes us 2 hours to get to the RE office. I am crossing everything that can be crossed for you and I am also sending up prayers. Many hugs XOXOXOXOXO
My little beans are in!!! Everything went well, they survived the thaw!! We transferred to 6 day blast which were from the December 2012 fresh cycle. I feel very positive about this transfer. Beta day is 5/29 but................. We won't wait until then. As some of you may recall, I'm a POAS addict lol. I really thank you ladies for keeping us in your prayers and standing by me these past few months. I don't know what I would do without you. :)

I really thank you ladies for keeping us in your prayers and standing by me these past few months. I don't know what I would do without you. :)
I had my first "OB teaching" today. 1.5 hrs... blah. Anyways, I didn't get to see bean again :( I will have to wait until 10 or 12 weeks, not sure yet. I am high risk b/c I had cervical cancer 3 years or so ago and major surgery to the cervix and have almost none left. At 12 weeks I will get a cerclage, which Im freaking out about... Anyways, im feeling EXHAUSTED, but that's about it. Crampy, but I think mostly constipation. Glad to see everyone else doign ok!!
Ok ladies I have a TMI question. How long after you got your BFP did your clinics give you the ok to start having intercourse again? Ours said it was ok to resume regular life now, I'm sorda scared til after the first U/S. What does everyone think?
Mine told me that it was ok to have intercourse 4days after transfer. So you should be fine. I personally waited though. Til my second BETA and then I asked again. She was like Honey you could have already been having intercourse... LOL
Anyway, I hope this helps you. I cant wait til your sono. Im thinking twins. I would love to have twins. My AF should start around 28th or so of May, I will start Estrace that day, then sono on CD13. If lining is good. I will start progestrone injections. (I dread them) then transfer probably a week or so later. I know it 2blast I just dont know the grade or what day. I put in a call to RE office. I hope to find out today.... XOXOXOXO
They told me to wait til after the first beta, then she said it was ok to go back to normal activities. I still want to wait til after the u/s. DH is ok with it(kinda). And another funny thing is I have been trying to lose weight since Oct and I got 56 pounds off, now with the BFP my DH is always telling me remember you are eating for 2. We jumped on the scale this morning I gained a half a pound and he lose it. I was mad at him.
Funny how before all the infertility we could wait for AF, now with IVF and new cycles we are patiently waiting for it to arrive so we can try again. I am saying a prayer for you every day and night. Let us know what you find out about your blasts. XOXOXOXOXO
Mine told me no intercourse until I was 10 weeks. After the transfer they put me on complete bed rest for three days, I could not even take a shower, after that I could resume my normal activities except sex. I guess every clinic is different. I will wait until after the u/s. I can't wait to find out if you are having twins.
Everyone seems to be thinking twins. That truly would be a blessing, scarey but a blessing. The next fun trip in this journey is to tell my 13 year old. He is so used to having me all to himself, not sure how he will accept 1 let alone 2. He's a good boy, just think the jealousy will be bad in the beginning.
Wow! I didn't realize you had been through so much. You are a true fighter. To become a nurse while trying to conceive is brave within itself. Not to mention a cancer survivor. You inspire me. Praying you cont to have a healthy and happy pregnancy. Btw, have you began working yet ?
hello ladies I am so glad to see all the progress It warms my soul when I check in and see everything going so well. I am hapy to announce that we had our 9th U/S yesterday and we are having 2 boys. yayy
Beach those are awesome # I cant wait till the 30th

XOXOXOXO for YOU
XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO for the babies
dream: U should be ok to have bd. My re let us do it all the time. As far as the weight gain thing. .5 lbs is nothing. i do that easily with a glass of water. plus u are gaining blood and fluids. I wouldnt try to put it on right now but who cares about a lb or 2. GL girl.
babypatch: yeah for the 1200 less. that is nice. a big help in cost. I pray it works for u.
martin430: 2 Boys!!!! I bet dh is beside himself. that is so exciting. U will love boys. they are so much fun.
I am actually meeting with my weight loss clinics dietician next week sometime to help me map out a plan. I have really fought to get this weight off but I was doing it so I could get pregnant easier. I'm still eating according to my plan but I am adding more fruits and veggies. Trying not to fall back into eating anything I want.
Martin: Thank you so much, we can't wait either. After we finally see and hear a heartbeat then I will be sharing the new with my son. Nervous about that more then anything.
Hey mate im fine. Ive developed cysts on both my left and right ovaries so im pretty much out for doing any further cycles. Have an appointment with my Dr next week to find out if there is any point continuing with my own eggs in any case. So on hold for now. Have joined an egg donor site in Australia but my Hubby isnt convinced yet so I dont know what to do now really.
2long2wait: I am so sorry about the cyst. I know u are not a happy person right now. I cried when i got mine. I am praying they go away and all works out for you the way it did for waiting.
ALL:
Today is cd6 and crazy enough this cycle is still going with af. my cycles are normally 1-3 days well not this one i have had this one tease me. I started Wednesday after noon. it went Thursday and half the day Friday. then stopped. it started back Saturday evening then nothing the rest of the night Saturday or Sunday until a little after noon. then spotting . then nothing. We bd Sunday twice. crazy enough i had thick ewcm. I don't know if u will know what i am talking about. just think of junk mail and that clear thick sticky stuff they will put in one spot to hold it together and then when u open it u can pill it off and and stretch it like a rubber band and play with it. ( do u know what iam talking about?) Dh noticed it because it was on him and on me. This makes no since.i have never had cm like this.
So nothing the rest of the day yesterday or last night or early this morning bout around 7:30 i started back again. I dont get it!!!
I'm currently 5dp6dt. Mild to moderate cramping, headaches, and low back pain are present. Praying my little beans are snuggling in for the next 9 mo. I plan to POAS 7DPT.
Thank you! I got a new job and workEd 5 days before I found out I was preggo and would be on my feet 12 hrs a day lifting PTs. So I quit. I went for an interview Friday for a pediatric phone triage job (so mostly sitting down) so crossing fingers for that one it would be a lot safer for me. How are you doing!??
I hope u get the new job. How heavy were the PT's ?
All is well with me. No more spotting. Maybe it means my next cycle will stay away longer. We are going to the lake this weekend to be with his family and then next Sunday we fly out to go to Peru. WE get back the following Sunday. Then i start teaching Vacation Bible school that week. Then i get my niece the following week for the rest of the summer and maybe my nephew. It is going to be interesting and busy.
Tomorrow is the big day, the day I plan to POAS. I'm kind of contemplating if I should test tomorrow or wait until 9DPT. The last BFP was faint at 9DPT so ................ 9DPT might give a more definitive answer. I've heard of some women getting BFP 5dpt. Oh my what should I do?
It is hard to wait but if u think u can and u think it will be to hard on u to see a neg then wait an extra day. I hope u get a BFP today but if u wait it is ok. I was always so scared of the neg so i choose to wait.
If for some reason u do get a neg today u are not out. U can still test your bfp in.
Good LUCK!!
I am still swelling at night . this is not normal for this time of the month for me. some slight cramping and gas but that is it. so i am saying that i am not prego because i did had a period. I am not going to test.
All: will check in with you guys today and tomorrow but then i will not be on again until probably Tuesday and then I will go of line for a week starting next friday.
Hi All,
Hope everyone is doing well. Had bit of a scare yesterday but then was sooo embarassed. I was curling my hair for work and felt trickling and I of course immediately thought my water was breaking. Considering all that I went through last year with my water breaking at 22 weeks, I didnt want to take any chances. So I called my doctor thinking he would just tell me to come into the office instead i ended up going to the hospital. To make a long story short my doctor did an internal exam and tested the fluids, and told me it wasnt amniotic fluid, but PEE!!! He said I probably peed my self...how embarrassing was that. I would of never thought that since my bladder was empty at that time, but he said since baby sometimes rest on your bladder it can make you go even a little bit. I was so embarassed yet relieved it wasnt early labor. So now Im counting down the weeks, I have 9 more weeks to go...just thought Id share this..lol..
Want2bemommybad - nothing to be embarrased about. It is great that you went in cause you never know. Wow! 9 weeks left. Enjoy the last few weeks. There is going to be a baby boom coming soon! BTW. Did you have a Csection with your last delivery? I was wondering how long we have to wait to get preggo again...
LOL that is a FANTASTIC story.......you can tell that one to baby! LOL im still laughing. So very glad it WASNT your waters breaking and you did the right thing going into the hospital, better to be safe than sorry!
Want2bemommybad _ U made me laugh. When i mc the first time and my water broke i thought i had peed on myself and was so upset. If i am doing this at 12wks what i am going to do at 9 months. THey feel the same so i can see how u would be confused. don't be embarrassed. I am sure i would have done the same thing. It is better to be safe. I am so excited for u. U only have 9 more weeks to go. Time is flying buy for u.
ALL: I am down to 122. I was so excited getting on that scale this morning. 7-8 more lbs and i will be what i was when we got married. OF course the re will be may be mad because they thought part of the problem was a low % of body fat. I got pregnant more when i was skinny and weighed under 125. once i put on the weight and got above 130 I have got + poas but never made it to blood test so i say they are wrong.
Today is going to be busy. I am shopping to feed 14 people for the wkend + 5 kids. MIL is paying for the lake house for the wkend and we are paying for the food. I am not buying junk food. I am trying so hard to lose weight. i will have fruit for snakes. I am sure they are going to love me for that. I will bring 2 things of pringles and that is it for 4 days. I will try to check in with u before we leave in the morning. I hope all of u ladies have a great wkend and TAGLAS I hope u get your BFP!!!
Want2beamommybad: That is a fantastic story. Thank you for sharing with us. And I am thankful that it wasn't your water yet.
Talgas: I am praying for you girl. I hope you get your BFP. Please let us know after you POAS.
I'm doing well, not a lot of symptoms other then sore breast and some nausea. Some smells affect me and make my stomach churn. I told my son and I was shocked how he handled it. He didn't get upset.
Praying for all you beautiful ladies.
I had a csection with my last pregnancy. They told me no sex 6-8 weeks after csection. I had babies in August and was pregnant in November. They say you are very fertile after a pregnancy so I guess after your 6-8 weeks you could try again. We weren't trying but I guess it was all in gods plan.
Everyone- I'm glad I made you laugh with my embarrassing story, its moments like those that you won't forget. I'll definitely tell my son this when he gets older.Pretty soon...ill be chasing after one and trying to nurse my new one..lol...ill be busy ...but its all worth it!
Hi all, Mon 21 May was the last day of the 2ww. Thanks God, that 2ww were killing machine. The beta was 1,150 and gone up to 2,400 in 2days later. I'll be on prego scan on 5June. This is our miracle from a long waiting for BFP.
Just want to say to you guys who are in 2ww and had no symptons of early pregnancy to NOT give in. I was so anxious as I had no signs and my boobs were slowly back to normal after couple days of ET. If you are in the same situation with me, please dont lose hope.
Now, I dont know what to do what is the next step? As my life so far was when i had to start the ivf injectings again. Any advices?
Congrats!!! how exciting. I would say to u just enjoy pregnancy live life lie normal and Dont tell your family right away unless u really want to. I would suggest waiting until u get into your second trimester. We did tell my mother and M in law every time we got prego. Your betas sound great!!! I am so so so excited for u.
Taglas: I hope that bfp comes for u this time. I will try to check in later today on u. I will then be off until Tuesday.
All: I hope you have a great weekend. I decided not to test I dont think i am prego. I just think this is a weird cycle. I dont feel prego at all. By now i would be 5-6 weeks and i think i would know.
I really dont know where to begin. I was just discharged from the hospital. Midnight Sun/Mon I miscarried one of my twins we dont know which one and I am still carrying the other so I have been on alot of antibiotics to help ensure I do not get an infection as that will end this pregnancy. I am on bed rest and have a nurse coming here 3x a week. I am so crushed and unable to greive because of the hope and prayers to continue with the baby I have left growing. I do not want to stress myself out by greif but it is killing me inside at the same time. I feel so helpless and scared. and unfortuantly this is so rare that I dont see hardly anything on it. we have held off our move to NC until I am stable and my Dr's feel I can get as good of care or better in NC so I may stay here while my Dh goes down for his job. Whatever it takes I will do. If anyone has ever heard of this or known anyone that it happened to and was sucessful that would be great.
I hope everyone is doing well and progressing nicely
Congratulations that is awesome!! Now is time to relax and enjoy your pregnancy. I agree with romneye don't tell your family until you get to the safe zone of 12 weeks. Can't wait four your first scan. Congratulations again
I'm sorry you are going through such a heartbreaking experience. Were they able to determine what cause it? I know is easier said than done bone just follow your doc orders to keep the other baby healthy and growing. I'll be praying for you and the baby.
I had a scare yesterday. I was cramping really bad Wednesday night, so yesterday I wento to the OB and she said I was having contractions less than 3 minutes apart and sent me to the hospital for monitoring. After 3 bags of IV fluids and a lots of tests they sent me home. Contractions were caused by dehydration. I'm so relieve that my baby is ok.
Martin- i am so sorry lady! I hope your other bean is hanging on tight! Oxoxox thinking of you
Evelyna glad you are doing ok now! Drink drink drink!
Harper- congrats. I to like you had not one symptom and couldn't Belive the test haha
I also had a scare today, I passed an egg sized clot of crinone with some blood attached and then spotted all day. Thankfully ultrasound was fine an they said it was 2 months of crinone against my cervix irritating the skin. I will post pics of my little one!
It doesn't sound embarrassing to me...
You have had a very bad experience in the past, so I think that it's natural that you are extra cautious - better be safe than sorry, right?
I am glad that everything is fine with your lil one!
Im so sorry. I know it hurts and only time will heal. I dont know what to say. Your baby in your womb. will do wornderful. Im claiming health on him. God will take care of you and your little boy.You just make sure to take care of yourself and dont get up doing anything. Take your medications. You are in my prayers. Im so sad for you! Im very happy that you still have your little baby boy in there growing big and healthy. Your in my heart. XOXOXOXOXO
Congratulations! Such wonderful news. How many days PFET were you when you did your first BETA? I apolize for the questions, how many did you have transferred? and grades were they?
I know the 2WW is horrible. But Yeah you have a BFP! Will keep you in my prayers.....
Im sorry. But, you still need to wait for your BETA. They're are so many stories of getting neg. POAS and a positive BETA. I will be praying for you. It very well maybe to early. It was only 9dpt. XOXOXOXO
Martin430- I am so sorry....how many weeks are you?I have seen on other boards where someone lost a twin but successfully delivered the other. I don't know how early or late but it does happen. I don't know the cause of the loss. But even if it was chromosome related doesn't mean the other baby has the same problem since they were completely different egg and sperm. Keep the faith. Do the doctors have an idea what happened?
Ladies it sounds like u all had a not so good weekend.
Martin: A lady in my church lost one of her twins at 12 wks. the other one is now 16 years old. She said it broke her heart but that she made it through it. she said that she went on and off bed rest several times. it got to where she had to wear a monitor all the time and they would call of anything thing spiked. Try to relax and know that it is possible for things to be fine for the rest of your pregnancy.
Taglas hang in there girl. I hope u get your bfp and i will be praying for u.
Waiting and Evelyna79- thank it easy and maybe u will have no more scares.
ALL: I have been dizzy since Friday. i dont know what is going on but i made it through this weekend fine and will make it through next week fine too. I am unpacking and washing cloths and re packing for next week. I cant wait!!!
Hope all you ladies are doing well. Ive been praying for all of you.
So, im going to start my new IVF journey. Its so scary, to go through this again. My CD13 is June 13 and my transfer is June 19. Will have 2blast transferred, hopefully they will both make it through thaw. Im already worried!!!!! This whole process is so exhausting. But, worth it. Im Excited though!!! XOXOXOXO
Hi ladies!!! hope u all doing great. To all trying to conceive good luck and those starting the process also.... I dont log in as much but i b reading the posts everytime I do log in. Please all take care xoxo
Wow so much news heartbreaking and happy all in the one go.
Martin - I am so sorry for your loss. Try to be brave for your remaining baby, he needs you. As others have said there are plenty of stories out there of surviving twins. It is not going take the hurt away right now I know.
Talgas did I miss your Beta results? Im hoping for a miracle.
Well we went for our U/S yesterday. We seen a beautiful heartbeat. We have to go back again next week for another one because they seen 2 sacs but only one baby. He said that it could possibly be another baby but it was in a bad position, or a pregnancy that started but then stopped. I guess we should know more next week.
How Exciting!!!! I really felt like you were having twins. I will be praying for you and 2babies. I remember you had 2blast transferred, what day where yours tranferred? and how long after the transfer day did you test again? RE said it didnt matter really if it was a 5 or 6 day blast transfer as long as it was a blast. Which confuses me. I just go with it. So RE is transfering 2blast on june 19. My CD13 is june 13. My egg donor was 28 at donation that was 2yrs ago. I pray that these blast are strong and make it through thaw.
Mine were 5 day blasts and our donor was 32. I'll be praying for your blasts to make it through the big thaw. I'm hoping for them to find a second heartbeat next week but if not I'm fortunate to have the one. I will be praying for you.
I just wanted to throw this out there.. I went to Turkey for my IVF, because my doc in Philadelphia recommended Dr Aydin Arici in Anadolu Saglik (Johns Hopkins). I paid a total of $3000 for the treatment and meds excluding accomodations and plane tickets. If you fly around February its $600 for a round trip. The hospital (which is superior to MANY hospitals I have been to in Philly) helps with accommodations if you need it. My husband donated his sample and left. That was they can also freeze the sample for future use. So I can go back get another cycle without my husband being there.
It was a negative for me but at least I did not go into debt doing it. I really really recommend it.
