hi all

so i havent been updating for a while cos i wasnt very excited about my ER results.. but nevertheless what has to happen will happen. they got a dozen eggs retrieved and aspirated by endometrioma cysts .. but only 10 matured and 6 fertilised.. am just having my fingers crossed for nov 21 when my ET is tentatively scheduled.. am so happy for all those BFP's.. i hope the rest of us in the same ET timeframe too share the same kinda news soon !! pls keep me in ur prayers..am just anxious and nervous for the 5d transfer on saturday..

what do u guys think? is 6 a good number and will that reduce when good quality embryos are chosen before ET.. ? anyways started my Progestrone shots..it stings after a while and pains... just wondering how it is for others taking it..any tips to reduce the pain ?? carla how are u doing with those shots?

lots of baby dust to everyone !!

Congratulations!!! It's great to hear all the BFPs!!!

And to Everyone-- hang in there! We are all next! :)

docsaf and pesce: Awesome news. Congratulations to both of you. Don't stop smiling, you deserve this!

Sisi2399: Yay. AF arrived. I am so excited that you are going to start with the stims soon. Hope you are dealing with the headaches the best you can.

Ash1018: Am really sorry to hear that you have lost twins at 21 weeks. It’s heartbreaking. I still think of our baby boy every day whom we lost at almost 18 weeks following our first IVF. I wish you all the best and am hoping for a sibling for your little one.

Randy81: Don’t worry about the numbers too much, everybody is different and some are successful with only one fertilised egg and others are not successful with 17 fertilised eggs. You only need one good embryo to get pregnant.

I wish all of us super sticky baby dust.

Hey- the shots themselves aren't great but the side effects are tough on me. I feel like the progesterone is just slowing down my whole system and I am bloated and uncomfortable. I am supposed to switch to inserts after my transfer on Friday. I have been numbing the aera with ice before the shots. I think the whole thing is just going to be unpleasant so I'm trying to deal. The progesterone has been the worst part of the whole IVF for me....just keep at it!!

To All:

I'm thrilled for all the BFPs!!!!! I hope to join you soon. My transfer is tomorrow and my beta is on 11/29.... scared but hopeful!!

Be well ladies. Let's keep the BFPs coming!!!!

So my second beta was today it came back at 119, did not double. My 1st Beta was 70. How concerned should I be, my RE wants to see me again next Tuesday. Anybody have this happen to them?

docsaf

Nov 18, 2010

All is good as long as the beta rises at least 60% in 48 hours. Your rise is above that. Also, I've heard of people with slower increases go on to have healthy babies. I already have beta tests scheduled for tomorrow, next Mon, and next Wed - and I was told I would probably have to come in next Fri as well.

docsaf

Nov 18, 2010

Sisi - may this be the last team we cheer for AF arriving! It's great that you are moving on to the next step.

Carla - how did the ET go?

Randy - 6 is a good number. My RE wanted me to get 6-10 mature eggs when I was stimming. So 6 fertilized sounds good.

For those stimming - think happy thoughts. SSBD to all!

Baby anderson, do not worry. I asked my doctor yesterday if my beta has to double in 48 hrs and he said that doesn't need to double. An increase of 2/3 is ok (about 66%). You should be fine.

ER was a breeze. Got my IV put in they moved me to the operating room strapped me in the chair as they inserted my narcotics asked me a few questions about me and the hubby and..........Next thing I know I was waking up in the recovery room. Thus far (only a few hours later) I'm feeling small cramps nothing unbearable. Mouth seems a tab dry but over all I say it went pretty well.

To: MommaBee

My RE told me I was going to be on Progesterone oil shots every day for the 1st trimester... Yuck I know, but if thats what I gotta do then thats what I will do. Some RE have you do progesterone suppositories and if my numbers stay high my RE might switch me later on but for now I get the joy of my DH putting shots in my butt. The shots go in better if you kind of warm them up, I take a washcloth and put it in the microwave for about 30sec and wrap my syringe with the progesterone in it for a few min. It doesnt seem so thick to go in, just a idea. Good luck and trust me they do get easier. My butt definately doesnt look pretty though :-)

Randy81 - 6 fertilized eggs is a great number.  How are they dividing?

Lp501 - You are right "We are all next" Thanks for such encouraging words

Purple - How is everything going with you?

CarlaLP - How are you feeling? How was the transfer?

BabyAnderson - BETA is just a number and we give it a lot of importance.  Yours was a good rise so you are fine, be positive and remember, God is with you and your baby.

docsaf - I hope you are right and I dont see this AF for quit a while now.  Thanks

peppypeep - I was not getting the notifications either till like yesterday.  It was so frustrating but thankfully is now over.

hoping4baby2009 - Im praying everything turns out to be ok and you get your transfer on Sunday.  Remember Gos is listening, ask him for it

MommaBee - Im happy to hear that your ER went well, 6 is average I really think that too many eggs is less quality, I dont know, My last 2 times we retrieved 14 but quality was average, not good.  Im hoping for less eggs and more quality.  Woohoo Cant wait to hear bout your BFP soon.  Good luck Monday.  I will be praying for you.

All - I went for my baseline u/s and blood work today and everything seems fine.  I was given green light for stims starting Sunday.  OMG Iam actually doing this again.  I cant wait to start seeing those follies growing and eggs being retrieved and transfer.  I cant wait till I post my BFP.  Woohoo!!! Im so happy.  Thank you God.  Soooo girls..... here I come.

You are all in my prayers everyday and please know Im so happy to have you in my life helping with this emotional rollercoaster.  What would I do without you ladies?

To all the BFPs, Congratulations!!!! enjoy it and be happy.

We have started great, we have lots of BFPs thats how we like it.  Keep them coming lord.  Thank you in advance :)

Hey Ladies-

The transfer was okay. Not painful at all. The transferred 2 day 5 blasts graded AB with no fragmentation. I know an AA grading is better, but mine were said to be 'good.' I have to continue with the PIO injections until my beta. I'm getting used to them. I would do them forever if it mean this would work...

What were everybody's embryo grades? Is AB ok?

Thanks for ALL of your support ladies. Now in 2ww.

Baby dust to all.....

MommaBee - 6 sounds great! My RE was all about making fewer better quality eggs instead of alot. I would have preferred 20 great quality eggs, but if that is not an option, then fewer better quality eggs is the way to go. Good luck! Are you doing a 3dt or a 5dt?

Sisi - Good luck! It felt so good to finally move onto the stim meds - it felt like moving forward. What are you on? Is this a new protocol or different than before? good luck!

Carla - AB is excellent! The first letter is a grade for the cells that make up the baby (I think that is what the embryologist told me). And that is the highest grade the cell can get. My blasts were 4AA and 5A/BA.

I had my 2nd beta yesterday and it was 765 and my prog was more than 80. Honestly, I don't think I'll relax until the day the baby is born; but for right now I'm happy. I go back in for bw on Mon and Wed. If all is well, then I think I will get an u/s on 12/1.

Ladies I need your help, My Beta's are not rising appropriately. Is this a sign that I wont have a yolk sac on my US or I am on my way to m/c?
11-16 Beta 70
11-18 Beta 119
11-22 Beta 220

sisi2399: Great that you have now started with the stims! Grow follies grow!

docsaf: Your numbers are awesome!

As for me. I went in for my second scan today. Was a bit nervous after the first scan as the sonographer couldn't see the left ovary. But today everything was just fine. As with my two previous IVFs, I've got quite a lot of follies (approx. 16) growing with one front runner.

Hope everyone is thinking positive thoughts.

Lots of super sticky baby dust to all of us!

docsaf

Nov 22, 2010

Sisi - how are you doing?

Lp501 - don't be disappointed. You had 2 good ones transferred. SSBD! On day 3 I had 8 great quality eggs - the coordinator said that 6 of them were excellent and the other 2 were very good. By day 5, only 2 were able to be transferred and 1 would possibly be good enough to freeze by the next day. The others had slowed down significantly.

hoping4baby2009 - Congratulations! Relax, you are almost halfway through the tww.

MommaBee - I hope the ET goes/went well. Try to relax and not obsess (I do) over the next couple of weeks.

BabyAnderson - I don't know the answer. I know a couple of people whose betas did not double every 48-72 hours in the beginning and they went on to have healthy pregnancies. Keep in mind that most people have no idea what their betas are/were when they are pg. it is only us who have iui's or ivf's who worry about these numbers. Try to not stress and get plenty of rest/sleep.

Purple.- that sounds great! What size are your biggest follies? Do you have any idea when the ER will be?

Everything is going well here. I have to go in 1 more time for b/w, but my RE also said to schedule an u/s. We have the u/s scheduled for 12/1. I am definitely feeling more nauseous than the last time I was pg - but I'm also taking crinone 2X a day + estradiol. I don't know what is the meds and if anything is the pg. I'm trying to stay calm and relax.

SSBD to all!

docsaf - WOW I also think you are having twins.  Those are great numbers!!!! Im doing  pretty good, the stims are no fun but is very worth it to try so Im hanging in there.  Thanks for asking.

Lp501 - Happened to me last time too.  Be happy!!! you had great embies transfered so relax and believe on them sticking.

peppypeep - Good luck tomorrow.  Keep me updated!!!

hoping4baby2009 - Great quality!!! congrats!!! Try to be calm thru the 2WW.

BabyAnderson - Dont stress about the beta too much.  Is rising about 60% and Ive heard thats ok.  Pregnant woman dont even know bout BETA excisting anyways, enjoy your pregnancy and once you get to your u/s you will see that everything is fine.  I will continue to pray for you.

Purple - Actually I am enjoying the stims just because they are bringing me to my baby but OMG are they hurting......   16 wow!!! how big is the 1st runner?

BB_1145 - Good luck on the 29th.  All your symptoms sound great specially cause you are close to your beta, by now, if it was the medicine your boobs wouldnt be hurting so much, at least thats what had happen to me.  1st IVF with a BFP, Boobs were killing me all the time.  2nd IVF with a BFN, 1 week thru the wating, boobs were not hurting anymore.  Will pray for you.  Keep us update it.

About me, Im stimming!!!! They hurt, they make me moody, and Im so tired but Im so happy to know Im getting closer and closer to what I most want in this world.  I know this is my time so is all worth it.  Im moving this month to a new house so Im so busy and happy that time is flying by which is great.  Please be certain Im praying for all of us here to have a great Christmas present and also know that I believe in my heart that this is it.

God is great and he will deliver our babies to us this time.  Is our time!!!!!  Please pray!!!! Faith moves mountains and brings babies!!!!!

Guys need some reassurance asap....am on 9th day post ET.ET was on 11/16.My RE transferred 4 Grade A embies 02 of 6 cells and 02 of 8 cells..Day before my progestrone level dropped from 141(this value was on 20th nov) to 23.Yest visited my RE..she did my US and recommended 5000IU of HCG shot today and i took one day before...However my progestrone supplements i feel are not enough. since yesterday am on 200ml susten shots and orally have been duphoston twice a day...stopped my vaginal tab (which was only 200mg once a day) on 22nd due to itchiness down thr(sorry for TMI).Am so so scared...This is my second IVF and was v hopeful but now am really really losing hope. My beta is on 30th and my RE warned me that the figure will be high since HCG will still be in my blood due to the shot today.

Has anyone encountered any success stories after such low progestrone?
Am really really jittery and i just hope this works...
Pls am really anxious..need some advice/suggestion..

Here is an update about me, Today I went to the doctors and had bw and u/s, RE says I have about 16 follies growing. The retrieval is schedule for Wed but still gotta go and check them again tomorrow. We will see if Wed stays as the day. Transfer 5 days later and then the 2WW. OMG I think this is it. I believe my lord will give me the satisfaction of a healthy pregnancy this time. WOOHOO!!! Christmas is going to be great this year.

I hope everyone is doing well.

An update from me. The past few days were a bit of a rollercoaster. I have been on the same dosage of stimmulations as the first two IVF cycles with regular scans and bloodwork done. So when I got a call from the nurse on Friday 26th saying that my estrogen level was through the roof (from 4500 to 14600 in two days) and that I have to continue with the downregulation meds only (this is called coasting) and that egg collection on 29th was out of the question and the cycle might even be cancelled, I felt so many things, disappointment and sadness to mention just two of them. After another blood work on 28th I received another call in the afternoon saying that my estrogen level didn't go up much further up and I now will have egg collection on 29th. Needless to say I was very confused. So I had my trigger shot at half past twelve (midnight!) last night and am going in tomorrow. I was so hopeful but now I don't know what to feel or think. Did the follicles that were 13 to 15 mm keep growing to reach a good size or will I have only very few eggs retrieved?

Best of luck and sticky baby dust to all of us!

To: anyone that could give positive reassurance

I just did 5 day transfer on 11/22 and I did hpt yesterday and today and both negative. I see so many people on forums state they get positive results at this time. Could it really be that it failed again? This is our 2nd IVF. I'm so sad and just cried my eyes out earlier. I go in for blood test on tuesday 11/30. Any advise?

docsaf

Nov 28, 2010

sisi - WOW - 16 follies. That sounds great. And your b/w has been good? Fingers crossed for next Wed. Are you doing ICSI?

Purple - how many follies are there? Your 13 and 15 will continue to grow after the trigger. I will keep my fingers crossed that your ER goes well tomorrow and everything goes as planned.

Monahema - the first time I was pg my prog went from 33 to 18 and my RE was fine with it. I was taking crinone 1X a day at the time. I gave birth to a healthy DS. I'm not sure what the limit is, but 23 is higher than what mine was.

hopingfor5 - I think it is still too early. If you can, wait until 9dp5dt. The first time I was pg I did not get a BFP on a hpt 15dpiui.

To all those stimming - good luck! grow follies grow!

To those in the 2ww - relax and be patient. SSBD!

Hi All-

I could not find this message earlier. I am doing well. I have had 5 blood draws and my betas are rising appropriately - doubling every 2 days last week. The u/s is scheduled for 12/1. I feel like we have passed the first hurdle (the bloodwork); the u/s is the next. Oddly enough, at least 4 people have asked me the past week when me and my DH are planning on having another. It is hard to not say we are pg now. But I'm too nervous about m/c to say anything until after the 1st trimester. So far this pg is so different than my first. I had no symptoms with the 1st pg except sore bbs for the 1st month. And my betas were low (40 at 14dpo) This time, no sore bbs, but I am nauseous almost all the time. And my betas are on the higher side (255 at 9dp5dt).

I'm 32, first IVF May, lost baby at 9 weeks, took a small break and had FET 11/15. Lots of cramping, thought AF was coming but tested 8 days after fET and faint line. first beta 11/24, BFP number was 67, 2nd beta 2 days later and number was 168, go for ultrasound in two weeks.
Stay positive ladies, its very hard going through all this, it's great to know we have each other

Do not rely too much on HPT, I took one 6&7dp5dt and they were both Negative but had a positive Beta at 70.. They are Evil and they make us crazy...

For me I go in for my u/s tomorrow, I am really nervous because my Betas are not rising appropriately so I am praying that i am not on my way to a m/c or an ectopic pregnancy.. I am so nervous to go in... My last Betas were 70, 110, then 220...They were hoping that they would be much higher... Fingers crossed....

Sisi2399: I wish you the very best for your ER tomorrow. 18 follicles is a very very good number.

BabyAnderson: I am so happy to hear that the first scan went well and am hoping that you will see a heartbeat soon!

TAGLAS: Hope all goes well with the stims.

As for me egg collection on Monday went ok, although I was a bit disappointed and am still sore even two days later. I have been told by three different persons that I will most certainly get more eggs than last time but ended up with 5 less. The consultant who’s done the collection could not understand why I was disappointed but I was too tired to explain. She might think now that I am ungrateful, especially when the woman I shared the room with got 2 eggs retrieved and started to cry because she was so happy! I calmed down a bit when they told me that 10 have fertilised normally. I am now waiting for the phone call tomorrow to hear whether I will have a day 3 or day 5 transfer.

Best of luck and sticky baby dust to us all!

Hi ladies,
I am new to this forum but love the support / friendship - it is really helpful at this time in our lives. I too had ivf in Nov.
I have had 3 natural ectopic pregnancies over 16 years, 8 failed IUI cycles, I failed IVF and 9 Obstetric surgeries for tubal pregnancies / scarring / tubal repair / diagnostic etc. so for past 16 years have been on fertility tx or other. This is my last try as I think my husband has had it with this as well.
I could nto do fresh transfer after ER as i had OHSS so had to wait for 3 months again - very disappointing after gearign up for it all. I have to travel to my clinic as it is not local, so I usually go alone and stay alone through such procedures - just all gets so lonely and hard.
Anyways I had 2 embies transferred - 1 is 4 cells adn 1 is 8 cell on Nov 23 finally. So am anxiously waiting. Work in a lab so cannot hlep testing myself - so far all neg , but today is day 9 only... just loosing all hope and getting so angry .. seems so unfair that some of us go through this never ending test of endurance.

Please tell me it is too early ... i just need soem reassurance ... need your prayers as well and would appreciate your friednship and support

TAGLAS: Great to hear that so far things are looking good.,

monahema: I wish you all the best for your Beta today!

sisi2399: I am so looking forward to hearing about your ER. My thoughts are with your!

BabyAnderson: This is my 3rd IVF and the first time I am doing acupuncture. The acupuncturist suggested doing acupuncture until 8 weeks should I get pregnant.

optimist699: Welcome to this thread! What a journey you had. I am right behind you with the number of obstetric surgeries so I know what you are talking about. I wish this is our time. Best of luck.

I got a call from the clinic saying that I should come in on Saturday for a day 5 transfer. I am not sure this is the right decision and am in need for some encouragement. Today 7 embryos are within the cell range they want it to be on day three (5 to 8 cell). Another one is too fast for their liking and two are too slow. With my previous two IVF cycles I have done blastocyst transfers too, one day 6 and one day 5. But with both these previous cycles only 3 and 2 embryos respectively have reached blastocyst stage even though on day three there were still 11 embryos in the game both times.
What do you think my chances of our 7 embyos making it to blastocyst stage are knowing that only very few have previously reached blastocyst stage before?

I hope all is good and turns out great for all of us!

hoping4baby2009 - Good luck with your beta!

Purple - 10 fertilized is excellent! Congrats! I had 8 fertilize (close to your # 7) and all were going strong at day 3. Out of the 8, they transferred 2 5-day blasts and another was frozen.

Sisi - how did everything go?

optimist - stay positive. 9 days is early to test. When i was pg with my son my beta was 40 at 14dpo so it would have been low at 12dpo.

monahema - Good luck!

I went for the u/s yesterday and all went well. I go back for 2 more u/s and if all goes well then I will be released to the regular OB. My RE made a joke and said why couldn't it be this easy during the iui's? I've been wondering, why couldn't we get pg without any help - we are unexplained. But, I need to focus on the next 34 weeks and aim for a healthy pg. I am grateful that we have a DS and are pg with the 2nd.

Good luck to all! For those in the tww - SSBD!

Im over the moon happy, things couldnt have gone any better. God has been so good with me. We retrieved 16 mature eggs and Im enjoying that number to the fullest. 16 is the most we have ever had. Tomorrow will know about how many fertilized and will let you all know as soon as I find out. Im feeling good about this, Im so positive this is my turn and pray for that everyday. Transfer is in 5 days Dec 7th and that is my birthday!!!!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers

To: Hi All -

I'm new to this forum and have been reading most of the posts ... I really appreciate the support you all have been giving one another ... its very comforting (and has made this a bit easier for me who is new to the IVF process -- I'm still trying to decipher the acronyms). :-)

I was a bit scared last week when I had mild symptoms of OHSS (my levels kept going up all the way to over 5000 after testing every other day). Almost canceled the first ET but we went ahead as planned on 11/26 -- had 22 eggs retrieved on Nov 21 ... all 22 were fertilized so my RE froze 8; the other 14 were carried out to day 5... 2 of which transferred on Nov 26 while the other 5 were frozen as blastocysts. I'm still on Prometrium and now on Vivelle (estrogen patches) since my estrog and proges levels dropped.

I have to admit that I cheated yesterday and took a home pregnancy test, which turned out to be negative. Definitely sad about it. I don't know what to think of it. Some say not to read too much into it, since several women ended up being pregnant even when their HPT was negative. So I'm trying really hard not to freak out and be overwhelmed. I'll be taking my first beta HCG this Monday, 12/6. Crossing fingers still but all this waiting has been driving me bonkers. Plus all of these hormones are heightening my anxiety and giving me the shakes. I need to find ways to calm myself down until next week. I've been so obsessed reading so many posts re: IVF on the internet. Anyone have any suggestions?? Would be so grateful!!

I wish you all luck and will be praying for all of us. Successful or not, we're all beautiful, persistent, determined and strong willed women... and God looks out for all of us.

My update:

Well I received a call from the clinic and I'm a little frightened I may go into OHSS. When I had my ultrasound last cycle I most certainly did not respond so quickly. I'm now wondering if all the follies are considered normal.

I have 16 follicles on the RT and 11 follicles on the LT. I return to the clinic on Dec 5th for further testing. God I pray I won't get canceled!

To all the ladies I pray for us daily that all of our dreams of mommahood will soon come true. I'm very grateful for all the love and support I receive here but I also have come to realize that too much reading and comparing can stress us and our bodies out. So Me myself try not to obsess, I prayed for God to great me knowledge, courage, patients, understanding and faith as I started my cycle. It has been only thru him that I have had patients. To let God know I sacrificed my biggest Habits ( Texting while driving) to my favorite foods (Chocalate, Chicken and Steak and sodas to show my God that I was willing to Give up my favorite things for the one thing my heart desired. I mention this to say that GOD hear our prayers, I have wanted a child of my own for a very very long time and I think then God had other plans for. Me. But Yesterday I received the call from my Doctor saying something to me I've prayed to hear for years........YOU ARE PREGNANT! My heart dropped as I screamed and hollowed. Ladies GOD is going to this to all of us in his time frame. So to my ladies with BFN PLEASE PLEASE don't give up up for I've cried and put myself down because I coulnt have kids and Now finally on GOD time I got my BFP. To my ladies with BFP let's continue to take care of our selves and pray for our fellow ladies on her to receive their BFP also. GOOD luck to all the up and coming ER's and ET's to the ladies in they 2WW pray to GOD for patients it was only thru God that I was able to NOT take a HPT prior to my B/W.

OMG, we just got the call (and my Christmas present came early) ... My RE says "sooo-- are you ready to be parents!!" HECK YEA! Ok, hope it wasn't bad that I started screaming and jumping up and down?!?!

After all of this waiting ... and running to the phone every time it rang ... I still can't believe it. Someone pinch me! Anyways, thank you all for the Baby Dust ... I actually took a HPT on day 6 after my transfer and it was negative, so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for those that take it before your beta test, don't rely on HPTs. It broke my heart when I saw the negative, but to my surprise, today I got a BFP.

Side note: Since I'm catholic, I prayed to Saint Gerard who is the patron of expectant mothers (i also gave a medallion to my sister in law when she miscarried the 1st time).

To those that are still trying, please please don't give up. We wouldn't have gotten here if we had given up when doctors said "you can't get pregnant" or "i don't know why you aren't getting pregnant". Our perseverance, commitment and devotion is what makes us strong women. One way or another, I feel we will all have children (whether through natural, assisted, or adoption).

Good luck to those with upcoming transfers...
Thanks again for all of your support. God Bless!

How do you go on after such devastating news. We went in for my ultrasound and there was no heartbeat. I am soooo hearbroken, I don't know what to do with my self. I can't believe after getting that BFP in the beginning that I could be torn down so quickly. I was 6weeks 5 days pregnant. WHY!!!! I just cant believe this is happening to us. I was so excited to share the news at christmas but now my husband gets to tell them that we have miscarried so they will stop bugging us on when we are going to have kids. This is the worst christmas present ever, I don't know when I can build of the strength to do a FET.

Has anyone miscarried around this time before, I would really like to know what to expect? Do I need a D&C, my RE didnt say anything about it. I have stopped my P2 and Estrogen, how many days will it take for my period to start? They want me to come in on Monday to see how fast my Beta is dropping, This is true torture and I pray that none of you have to ever go through this, it's absolutely awful.... Sorry to be such a downer today, but I am really struggling to find peace with this.

OMG, Im tearing for you, Im so sorry you are having to go thru this, know that you are not the only one and that is nuttin you did wrong, Back in June I miscarried at 6 weeks 2 days, the sack came out on its own and didnt need a D&C. After that I was so devastated just like you, never thought I was going to feel better to go at it again, 1 month later did it again, I was stronger then the fist time and guess what it turned out to be a BFN, afer 2 months went at it again, yeah again and here I am, went for my transfer today and my faith is stronger then ever. Cry, cry, cry, you will feel better, know Im here to talk if you need to, and please dont give up. Remember you have frosties babies and a FET is easier and faster. I will pray for your heart to heal fast and for GOD to give you the strenght to do the FET as soon as your RE wouod let you. God bless you friend

I feel kind of bad feeling so happy about me and my transfer after what I just read about BabyAnderson, but feel that probable my story will encourage her and realize it might take more then once to make it.

Yesterday I was going crazy thinking that my embrios werent of a good quality and today when I went for my transfer my RE said after they gave me the report on day 3, that same afternoon, two of my 7 cells embrios divided into an 8 an a 10....woohoo!!!! Today we transfered 3. 2 beautiful blasts and 1 morula that the doctor says it would've be a gorgeous blast by tomorrow. Everything went great and fast. Doctor was so optimist and told me he thought this was going to be it for me. Im so happy, soooooo happy, I couldnt have got a better birthday present. Thank you lord, without you, none of this would've have been possible and thank you all for the prayers and well wishes.

Please know you are all in my prayers!!!!

Thanks and Good luck come January.

If it greater your chances I say get them removed. And I'm praying that ur Frosties are waiting to be thawed and Placed in mommy to implant. I'm rooting for u.

I think he's more excited than I am LOL. We will definitely test on Dec, 18. Please send some major baby dust our way.

sisi- I say it's too early to test I agree that you should wait until 9dpo Hope all is well.

Dec 14, 2010

Taglas - Congratulations! I hope your tww goes quickly!

Sisi - the 1st time I was pg I did not see a positive hpt - not even 16dpo. My DH made me stop taking them b/c I was upsetting myself. (it was a good pg - I gave birth to a healthy DS) I know you really want to see a BFP, but wait until the b/w. that is definitive and you won't worry unnecessarily - stress is not good for you.

Sandylove - good luck with your transfer! How many embies are you transferring?

MommaBee - when is your 1st u/s?

If all goes well, then tomorrow will be my last visit to the RE ever - I will be released to the regular OB. It is my 3rd u/s. We have been lucky enough to see both h/b twice, but the RE's words keep ringing in my head - under the circumstances and considering my advanced maternal age there is at least a 40-50% chance we will m/c at least 1 of the babies. That scares me. I know that what is meant to be will be. But it still scares me. Hopefully everything will go well and I will get over this next hurdle. I am excited about that and nervous (everything makes me nervous) - I will miss the constant monitoring I get from the RE that I will not get from my OB.

hi - i have been following your story after we went through august ivf together. i am praying for your bfp. you are so positive you are an inspiration.

to all others i got my bfp in sept after second ivf cycle with icsi. had no ferts in first ivf cycle, no diagnosis ever , just unexplained fertility. i am 16 weeks preg now and although we have passed important milestones i still cant wait until dd or ds is born,, this has been a long hard road.

dont ever give up - it will happen. no one who hasnt faced infertility will know what it feels like but miracles do happen to people like us.

good luck to all

Sisi: How are u doing?

doscaf: You will be fine, I miscarrage (miscarriage) one when I was preg. with my 3y.o son. Was really scary but at the end everything went well. Pray, Pray, Pray and everything will be fine.

What can I say ladies..... You are one of the bests things thats ever happen to me and Im so thankful for having you all in my life.

Well I POAS 7dpt and it was a BFN, 8dpt and it was BFN, today is 9dpt and did not test cause Im so sad and really..... I already gave up. I thought AF was here yesterday because I started spotting (brownish) but today is all gone.  My body is going nuts with all of this Tomorrow is my BETA and Im not looking foward to it.  I think is over again for me.  Im devastated and Im sorry if I bring some of you down.  I usually dont say anything negative but this is my 3rd IVF and Im getting tired.  My body is getting tired and my mind OMG I dont know what to do with it.  Im praying GOD gives me strengh to deal with whatever it is that he has planned for me.

Im so really happy for yours BFPs and all your succesfull steps.  God is with you all and please know I continue to pray for you.

hoping4baby2009 - How you doing? I wish you the best next time around

peppypeep - you already know how happy and thankful to GOD I am for your BFP.  Enjoy it, you deserve it my friend.

SandyLove - Good luck with the 2WW and Im praying for you to get your BFP.

docsaf - I hope in GOD that I experience the same thing as you and tomorrow I get a pos b/w but Im not to positive.  Please pray for me.

TAGLAS - Good luck with the HPTs and please let us know ASAP.

anne03 - Im so happy that your pregnancy is going good.  Please know I follow your journey as well and Im truly happy for you to have made it this far and continuing strong.  Like you say Im a positive person, but sometimes my friend is too much to deal with.  thank you for thinking Im an inspiration, I try not to bring no1 down here and try to be here for any of the ladies that need my help.  I think Im the one needing help this time around.  Thank you for the warm words.  May God bless you and baby.

MommaBee - How you doing friend? Well I guess Im not going to be experiencing the happiness you have right now but Im truly happy about your BFP.  Im praying for a great and healthy pregnancy and baby.

BabyAnderson - I understand exactly how you feeling and Im going thru it right now. Im so sad and mad that I will not have my so wanted Christmas present.  wishing you the best.

It's not over so don't make it over what if u giving up on u'r baby growing inside of you.

Hi - I was a little MIA for a bit and started reading up on the posts ... I'm so sorry BabyAnderson for what you have been going through. But I definitely feel your pain. I thought I would share a bit of news. I would've been 6 wks 3 days today ...

Much like BabyAnderson, I had what's called a "Chemical Pregnancy" ... don't know when it happened but sometime between 2 weeks ago after my BFP until now. It started yesterday when I was feeling back pains, a bit of cramping (not really painful) and a little spotting ... for the past two weeks, I was always asking myself "why don't I feel any symptoms like I'm preggers?" I have been reading so many blogs almost every day to see what different women have been feeling weekly and trying to compare my symptoms.When I called my RE last week, he said that no symptoms was sometimes normal and that I was just one of those lucky women.

Anyways, today I had the cramping in my lower abdominal area and more brown spotting (with some pinkish) so I went in to see the RE (luckily my hubby has the week off). He did the vaginal ultrasound .... and ... my heart broke when he said he couldn't even find a dark spot inside the uterus (a gestational sac). He was actually looking for two sacs since he said that when my beta came back 2 weeks ago, it was so high he thought I was going to have twins. Next he checked the tubes and didn't find it there... he was worried that the embryo may have been growing somewhere else so he took a blood test and made us wait for the results. I HATED WAITING!! But as he was explaining everything, I kind of tuned everything out. I was still in shock (and of course, all of the tears).

Anyways, my hubby took it really hard (poor guy). But we're both staying positive. I'm very hopeful that the next cycle (with my frozen transfers) will work out. Our IVF is on a Shared Risk program. RE wants me to take a month off and try again in February (but I was ready to push forward). It's weird ... but as devastated as I was, I feel more positive and look forward to the next step. I prayed hard for God to continue to give me strength and patience ...

I know God has plans for us and maybe this pregnancy wasn't the right time (and that there may have been something wrong and God was just looking out for us) ... whatever it was, we're still trying to keep POSITIVE.

Oh and FYI ... I took a HPT 5-days post transfer and got a BFN. But when I did my BETA (4 days after that), I got a BFP (and the count was really high). So those that want to take HPTs for ease of mind before doing your BETA, don't rely on them!

BabyAnderson, let me know how you're doing. And I'll pray for the both of us in February (when we try again).

Sisi2399 - Keep positive, girl! We have to hold on to that thought to give us the strength and courage ... and we're all here for you.

To everyone else: GOOD LUCK, continue to be happy and I wish you a safe and HAPPY 40 weeks!!

Happy Holidays everyone!!
