November 2010 IVF-ers

[sisi2399]

Today September 23, I had my Beta result for my second IVF, it was negative.  My first IVF worked but then ended in a miscarriage at 6 weeks.  I was really hoping this time worked but it didnt sooooo ...... here I am waiting for this menstrual cycle to finish and waiting for the next one around the end of October to start my 3rd IVF journey and Im looking for friends and November IVF buddies so we can share questions, knowledge and help eachother with the wait during and after this process.  Cant wait to meet you all.

A healthy pregnancy as a Christmas gift sounds GREAT!!!

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!!

[MommaBee]

Omg u making me tear up friend that's exactly why I begged u not to test. Because now with all the stress u could be hurting your baby. What's up with all the negative talk? Don't claim another failed IVF before hand. Please pray for forgiveness for giving up so soon and reclaim your faith. It's not over so don't make it over what if u giving up on u'r baby growing inside of you. Friend I'm still claiming this for you, I'm keeping my faith for u up until you are 14dpt n have your bloodwork done. I'm still on baby side. Love u friend

Hey Lady

Its Friday! I get to see how many is growing in there!

[MommaBee]

I really think all the reading hear makes us nervous. Sometime I regret reading so much. But The babies are gonna be just fine. U have to think positive and have faith.

[MommaBee]

Nooooooooooooo. I DON'T want it to be a FALSE BFN and u freak out and start stressing and hurt u levels that ur meds are for. U Can do it just have faith in GOD! Pray for patients.

[Sandylove]

Hi, I just came back from my ET :o) The embryologist decided to thaw 2 as all of my 4 FE were in excellent quality. We had 2 good quality embies tranfered with AH. Still have 2 FE. My hcg is schedule for 12/27. I have a feeling that this is it....In God hand it is....

Sisi: How are u doing?

doscaf: You will be fine, I miscarrage 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.

Taglas: 12/18 is almost here... :o)

[anne03]

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

[TAGLAS]

doscaf- That's awesome news praying that we follow in your foot steps :)

Hey ladies I found this awesome website to decrease some stress! I'm sure we could all us some stress relief!

SSBD TO ALL

[docsaf]

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.

[TAGLAS]

Hi everyone I'm now 4dpo3dt and I must say I want to POAS! LOL.......... I know the result will read negative but I'm just so anxious! DH purchased two HPT kits yesterday one digital and one neg/pos. 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.

Sandylove- wishing you much success tomorrow w/ your FET. Keep us posted :)

hoping4baby- How are you feeling? Good luck w/ the upcoming sx

SSBD TO ALL!!!!

[Sandylove]

To: sisi2399 - Wait another two days.....

Hope you are all doing fine.  My FET is tomorrow.....

Baby Dust to All

[peppypeep]

You could try but I would hang in there and wait another day or two.  Try tomorrow night if you just can't stand it anymore.  Good luck to you,  I will await your news! :)

[hoping4baby2009]

you could test to see if the trigger shot is out of your system i thinks its to early to check for pregnancy

[sisi2399]

Where is everybody?????????

I have an important question.  Im 6dp5dt, is it to early to POAS?  Im dying to cheat.  What you ladies think?
