Anyone have ET in the week of Oct.9-16 and wants vent?
I had my 4th IVF attempt with my ET on Wed. Oct 13th. I am currently 4dp3dt. I should be a pro by now but I can't help going out of my mind with the 2ww. Every little symptom is analyzed and compared to my previous attempts. Hmmm.... Did my back hurt like this the last times ( which were all negative BTW)? why don't my boobs hurt as much as they did last time? Am I not absorbing enough progesterone? Am I nauseated? Yes I am. No wait, I'm just full. And it goes on from the time I lift my head off the pillow in the morning, to the time I fall back asleep (after hrs of tossing and turning analyzing and flipping through this website in bed on my iPad). My poor husband is accustomed to me bringing it into bed each night since I had my ET. But as long as it keeps me sane, he's ok with it lol.
If anyone out there has started a cycle close to mine and wants to compare notes or just vent in an attempt to preserve our sanity, plz feel free join. Good luck to all. And may God bless everyone struggling with being deprived of having a baby or starting a family.

I am on the same cycle as everyone- 4dpt (10/12). We wneded up with 2 7B- and transferred both. I am the same way, every little thing, what does it mean, good sign, bad sign...?awful heartburn today, back sore and I was queezy most of yesterday (but we went to a church picnic and I was so hungry I feel like I ate for 11). Beta on 10/26 and I may still be sane by then...
Hope everyone is doing well, beta tomorrow, I can tell already that means no sleep tonight. I am so nervous. made the mistake of doing a hpt this weekend that was neg. I keep telling myself it doesnt necessarily mean anything, I had a 2nd HcG shot the day of transfer and maybe my self made levels havent come up yet but I am trying to mentally prepare myself for the no that may come. so worried...this is the one and only shot for us and it has been such a difficult road, seemed like there were issues at every turn. I have told myself that this was just how I needed to show I was dedicated to this and that it was something that should happen (ever issue eventually had a solution).
Hello my cycle buddy :)
I sent u a reply yesterday in ur inbox. Did u check it? I'm sending u another MSG there right now.

Good morning dear.
How are you? I hope you're doing fine.
Just came back from my Dr.'s, blood test done and have to go back on Friday. They told me they are checking progesterone level in my body so if I need more they'll let me know.
Is everything ok with you? Let me know.
Sticky baby dust to you dear.

Dear Hope,
I'm happy that you are doing progress toward milk, vegies and fruits. I'm not very healthy eating oriented too but I try not to buy prepared food. We basically cook at home and nothing fried, olive oil only (I'm dying for a little butter so today i had a small slice of bread and butter and a big glass of milk). Salad every lunch (of course it associates the main corse).
Today i woke up with no back pain or cramps, just a little bloated and I think my breasts are a little, just a little sensitive. What signs are these? I don't know.
You are a doctor dear so I expect you tell me more about body signs....lol.
They haven't told me yet for any urine test. All i know is that tomorrow and Friday I have to go to the clinic, at 7 am, for blood work called LUTEAL blood test. I have no clue what this is. My frist beta is comming Monday on the 25th........can't wait. Let me be honest with you: I never did any HPT during the other three failed IVFs and I don't really want to do one in this cycle, but based on what i read in this forum, most of the gils do it. I don't know what to say now, to do it or not to do it, to be or not to be!!!!
Oh, I forgot to tell you that sometime during the day or when I'm in bed at night, for a second or two I feel like the room is moving. It hapened today too.
How is your back today? Did you have any sleep last nite? I went to bed at 11:30 last nite, woke up at 5 to go to bathroom, fall asleep again and woke up at 8. But it was not a nice sleep last nite, I don't know.
Ok, I'm new in USA but I'm not quite clear where Gulf is located (I hope it is not a war zone - - lol). I like NY only when it comes to entertainment, other than that, Toronto is the best. I miss Toronto.
Ok dear, I'll talk to you later, meanwhile stay put and pray, pray, pray. I'm praying every night for you too my friend.
Baby dust to you.
XOXOXOXO

Yes ma'am (insert salute here). I will wean myself off the tea.
The last two times I completely cut both tea and soda out of my life the day of the transfer. I also got in 2 cups of milk, and 2 cups of buttermilk daily. I made sure I ate at least 1-2 servings of fruit (usually apples, pears, bananas) and 1-2 servings of raw veggies (carrots and cucumbers). But it didn't work. So I guess as a reaction I'm trying to play it pretty much cool this time and not have such a drastic diet change during my 2ww. The way I looked @ it is that I want my body to concentrate on one major adjustment: THE EMBIES; and not waste it's time concentrating on my change in diet. There's only so much my body can adjust to at any one particular time. :p (shoulda been a lawyer, right?). ;)
Today my breakfast was a tall glass of milk, a red apple, a plate of breakfast beans (trying to squeeze all the proteins at breakfast time since I'm not a big meat'n'chicken eater) and a (*mumbling in a low voice*) cup of tea. *blush*. C'mon u have to admit that's a healthy breakfast.
Congrats on ur move to NY .... May it be a beautiful new chapter in ur life. One that starts with many many many healthy babies! I love Canada and Canadians. My best friend growing upnwas Canadian but lived in Virgina. I've gone to Toronto a few times on holiday and I loves it there. The ppl are so friendly and welcoming! And everyone is just so down to Earth there. My husband and I have also driven up to NY from VA quite a few times. It's great to visit and I loved it in the Christmas time.... soooo beautiful. But I could never imagine living there. It's too busy and crowded for my taste. The hustle and bustle just isnt my thing. My husband on the other hand would love to live somewhere like that. He's a business man and real-estate developer so NY is heaven for him. Not me.
I grew up in VA but I'm now in the Gulf with my husband. I work as a doctor and I'm doing my residency training..... hence the stressful job I had to take leave from. But I only have one week left. I hope I'll know that I'm pregnant by the end of it.
Today is our 9 days post ovulation.....a landmark. I'm getting nervous. I don't know if I can hold off testing until the 30th which is the date I was given for urine test. It's quite an exaggerated date, don't u think?! I think 12 days post ovulation (9dpt) would be a good date for blood bhcg on my own. That would be the 22nd. But I don't want to test too soon and get discouraged. What do u think? What's ur plan?

Dear Hope,
Drink MILK pls and NO TEA, that's an order!!!!............lol............I blame myself too for not eating more fruits and vegies but I'm trying more now. I LOVE meat, like milk, i can not do without it.
Now about my job.........I moved recently (well 2 years ago) in NY from Canada and I am jobless ever since. Very hard to get a job here in NYC without conections, so my husband is the only one working for the moment. As you see, I have all the rest I need for such purpose. Once I ave my baby / -ies, I'll start looking for a job. Financial industry is in crisis right now, if you get hired you are lucky or a lot of connections.
I don't like alcohol and not very fond of sodas too. I wake up 2-3 times at night to pee but other than that I never in my life had problems with the sleep. Drink camomile tea instead of black tea. Have a cup of camomile before you go to bed and maybe that will calm you and have a better sleep. Don't use the camomile bags, buy raw dry camomile from a nutrition store, boil it, drain and drink it ( no sugar or honey). Try it and let me know.
Have a calm and long sleep night dear, blessed with beautiful dreams :)

Looooooool. I thought that u were gonna say that hot chocolate wasn't a good idea cuz of the gas!!! Ur lucky that u like milk. I'm taking it like I'd take a medicine trying to swallow w/o concentrating 2 much on the taste. I have never been very disciplined regarding my diet. I loooooooooove tea ( coffee not so much) and soda. I have brought it down to only 1 can of soda a day, and about 2 cups of tea (the hot black tea - not ice tea). I can't go a day w/o my tea. I know it has caffeine but not as high as coffee. And I know that one cup of coffee is permitted so I'm guessing 2 cups of tea aren't a big deal. I have never even tasted alcohol in my life so that isn't a problem. I'm guilty of not eating enough fruits and veggies..... And I'm not a big meat or protein person. I do love cheese though and Im not aware of it being unhealthy in the 1st trimester. On the contrary, it's a good source of calcium for a pregnant mommy.
What are u doing about rest? I took off work this time cuz I have a stressful job and kinda felt guilty the last few times that maybe all the physical and psychological stress @ work was the reason I couldn't get pregnant. I'm trying not to do too much work at home.
My sleep pattern has gone berserk. I toss and turn till about 3-4am..... But I'm awake with back pain and a headache @ 6ish. I'm really not getting enough sleep. But I read that the prednisolone can make it hard to sleep. : /
I hope ur having better luck sleeping. Good luck and talk 2 u later. :). xoxox

lol...........lol............lol.............we need this these 2ww. Go for it sister husbands have to understand that there is not us f@rting, there are their babies (good excuse...lol).
Well my first three times i had vaginaly taken progesterones, this is the first time i'm doing the shots and this shots are oil too like yours. I do only 50ml once a day.
One little advice dear.....don't dring hot chocolate, avoid as much as posible chocolates, coffee, teas (deacaf is ok). I am a milk person, I love milk more than water, i wish my tub was filled with milk so i can dive in it. I am very fond of all cheeses too but from what i read these are not a good choice for the first trimester, milk is ok though so I'm saved....lol .... and I hope you'll start the milk shots once a day, just a glas of milk in the morning and your little embies will be happy (btw...milk causes a lot of gas too but who cares, we have the doctors permission to f@rt and of course husbands "support").
Talk to you latter girl. Until next time, all the best and release your gas as much as you can....lol

Lol. Thanks 4 the moral ( or should I say gaseous) support on my inner windy-city. I laughed out loud reading ur post, almost spilling hot chocolate on myself. I'm not very fond of milk but I'm trying to get it in me somehow so decided on a pot of hot chocolate for today. I can't wait for my husband to come home so I can read him ur post....as a headsup or introduction to what I am permitted, well expected, to let out!
"For richer, and for poorer. In sickness, and in gas. As long as we both have wind.... I f@rt". :p
As for my meeds, I'm taking 100 mg (2ml) of Progestron in oil. After my 1st ET I was on a type called Gestane (same dose) but it gave me a horrible spasms in both butt cheeks down to the thighs that I was practically bed-ridden. I think it was a severe case of siatica as a reaction of the drug on the nerves there. I didn't get pregnant but my progesterone blood levels were good. The 2nd time I took the progesterone in the form of vaginal suppositories ("Cyclogest") and had to insert 1 every 8 hours and remain lying for one hour after insertsion so that it won't all ooze down automatically ( no fun). again I didn't get pregnant but when I measured my progesterone blood levels it was toooooooooooooooo low which might have been the reason I didn't get pregnant. My doc said that it would be higher @ the uterus since it was inserted locally but the blood levels might show up as low. She said studies have prooved the same efficacy for both. I'm having my doubts. So this time I went back to the progesterone in oil regardless of any pain it might cause. I couldn't get Gestone so I started "Prontogest" which is basically the same but a diff company. I wonder if anyone has had any experience with that. So far I'm not having too bad of a reaction with that but that could be do to the fact I have added Prednisolone which supresses the immunity so it might be masking any immune reaction. Dunno. I was started on prednisolone (a steroid) due to the fact that I had repeated failed attempts so my doc says there's no way to be sure I'm not rejecting the embies (immune reaction). I'm also taking 1mg Folic acid daily, and one baby aspirin. I should be on a multivitamin and calcium but I already feel like I'm swalling too many pills. : /
Ur temp is a good sign, it may be an indication of pregnancy. If u ever had to chart ur basal body temp to monitor ovulation then ud know that a rise in temp is the sign of ovulation, and a continued elevated temp after ovulation could be a sign of pregnancy. I truly truly hope that's ur case.
Oh another sympstom I forgot 2 mention I got this round was a case of restless legs syndrome. It woke me up the first night after ET. Then again, I had taken a night time Tylenol and those may cause it. I still have it now but it doesn't wake me up (thank God)- that seems to be my back's job. :p
@ vainkdgurl: it's cool ur just one day ahead of us. Let's all get pregnant plzzzzzzz !!! It's our 4th trial so we're going semi-insane. Is this ur 1st trial? The eating for 11 could be do to progesterone if ur taking it. It's the hormone that makes u eat more when ur PMSing and in pregnancy.
Best of luck to the both of u girls. May we all be typing with a baby in our arms this time next year!

I forgot to write another of my symptoms: sometimes during the day when i go to the bathroom i have a little vaginal discharge in a yellowish to greenish color. Do anyone of you experience this too?
@vainkdgurl - i hope you the best of luck too dear......hang on there...........baby dust to you too. My first beta is on 10/25 but the clinic i go to asks me to go for blood work on 20th and 22nd (they check the progesterone level I think).......just think that we are doing this for a baby and this is the reason to keep us sane....:)
Baby sticky dust to you guys.
Love
Magi

BTW I'm looking forward to your daily comments. I will write my symptoms every day so we all can compare.

Girls........i never had the chance to have frozen embryos too. I'm waiting today for a phone from the clinic to see if the last three embryos survived to blastocyst so we can freeze them (fingers crossed).
Hope, my brests are not sore at all,well sometimes I would like to think they are, lol..........one day are heavy and bigger the other day flat as usual (I'm only B cup). Diarreha was only two times in one day only ,now is gone, I'm doing good so far when it comes to the sh... part.......lol. If you are taking prenatal vitamins they have stool softener so it helps. As per gas.........don't even talk about it............all day and night long. Don't keep them inside and always remember that when you got married your husband gave his word to God "for good and for bad".........with this in your mind dear SHOT let them out and make more space for the little babies inside you........gas pushes the uterine.
My back pain is moderate, the only concern I have is the body temperature that goes up to 98.98 .....is this normal? My Dr. told me that progesterone does that, but as long as it is below 100, i hope i'm ok. Today is day 5 after embryo transfer, i have no cramps (yesterday and a day before I hade a lot) but back pain that shiftes from the right side to the left (don't know what this is - a pain that changes positions???? lol).
I'm doing 1cc progesterone shot every night, no other medications......
If you gils want to know this is the 4th IVF within a year 2010, I don't want to wait....
Bottom line, don't know what is going on inside, but i deeply wish you girls the best of luck and I pray for everyone who wishes to become a mom soon with healthy babies.
PS. I want to give myself a B-Day gift - a positive pregnancy - I'll be 37 on December 4, time flies

@ Magi: OMG we are in identical situations!
1. This is my 4th attempt (but only my 3rd ET since the first IVF didn't reach ET)
2. My ET was on Oct 13
3. My embies were 3 days old
4. I had 3 embies transferred too.
5. Same symptoms (discussed below)
@ Kricket:
I too have never frozen embryos. It had always been my plan, but I never had enough that were in good enough quality to freeze. So just like u I have to go through the whole ordeal from the first shot of stimulation to the final depressing BFN. Let's hope that our luck turns around finally!
Now since the both of you are in the same boat as I am in, let's see if we have similar symptoms.
- Breast soreness is so much less this round than in the previous ones. That kinda worries me. The last times my breasts would get bigger, firmer, and more painful. This time, if anything, they have deflated lol.
- Mild cramps like AF is about to visit, but nothing too bad that I'd wish for a Tylenol. I know that must be do to the progesterone but I quietly and secretly try to convince myself it's my emboss burying into my uterine lining which in turn is increasing in thicknes. ;)
- My main complaint is TERRIBLE back pain. It's my lower back. It's dreadful. I can't sleep throughout the night because it just hurts so much. I'll fall asleep at 4 am and wake up around 6 because it just hurts to turn in bed. I find myself making two fists and burying them behind my lower back. I'm used to twisting from one side to another to crack my back and I'm trying not to do that as often to be on the safe side....so that doesn't make things easier. Could that be the reason my back hurts? Then again, my period-pain usually had been cuz of my back and not too much my belly. So could my uterus be the reason my back hurts? (I hope so)
- I have a headache mostly from the time I wake up to the time I sleep. Not fun. But could it be from all the thinking/ worrying? Or is it a sign?
- Warning, TMI to follow....embarrassing and weird BM changes (blush): I too had diarrhea initially magi, but that quickly went away. Now I feel constipated (difficult to initiate) but it's not hard at all, on the contrary it's quite soft. And I have so much gas it isn't even funny. It's sooooo embarrassing. My husband has never heard me fart (excuse my frankness) in the 10 yrs of marriage. And now it's just too much to run to the bathroom each time that I have been giving him daily warnings that if it happens and he hears it not to laugh, complain, or embarrass me in the slightest way. I mean, he cant expect me to jump off the couch and run to the bathroom every 20 minutes. Lol (this is so embarrassing, sorry again)
- Im not really nauseated like everyone says. I have a weird feeling in my tummy like I'm about to come up with a cold or bug....u know, the "bleakh!" feeling, but no food aversions. I get hungry really quickly but get full with 30-50% of what I usually eat. Then I'm hungry again soon.
- And finally, my nose is stuffed daily. Congested but not completely blocked.
I'm sure that progesterone could be the culprit in most of the symptoms above. But I would love to see if any of u have the same symptoms. Perhaps they might mean something?
Lots of love to the both of you. You are in my prayers. May your baby dreams come true ! xoxoxoxox
1. This is my 4th attempt (but only my 3rd ET since the first IVF didn't reach ET)
2. My ET was on Oct 13
3. My embies were 3 days old
4. I had 3 embies transferred too.
5. Same symptoms (discussed below)
@ Kricket:
I too have never frozen embryos. It had always been my plan, but I never had enough that were in good enough quality to freeze. So just like u I have to go through the whole ordeal from the first shot of stimulation to the final depressing BFN. Let's hope that our luck turns around finally!
Now since the both of you are in the same boat as I am in, let's see if we have similar symptoms.
- Breast soreness is so much less this round than in the previous ones. That kinda worries me. The last times my breasts would get bigger, firmer, and more painful. This time, if anything, they have deflated lol.
- Mild cramps like AF is about to visit, but nothing too bad that I'd wish for a Tylenol. I know that must be do to the progesterone but I quietly and secretly try to convince myself it's my emboss burying into my uterine lining which in turn is increasing in thicknes. ;)
- My main complaint is TERRIBLE back pain. It's my lower back. It's dreadful. I can't sleep throughout the night because it just hurts so much.

I also am doing my 4th "FRESH" IVF. I have never had embryos frozen so I have gone thru this stuff Everytime. I am 38. if this cycle doesn't work will move onto donor eggs. It's nice to have back up plan in my head, but of course praying that this works.
I have kept notes about how I feel each day so I often look at my previous cycles. It's so interesting to compare. My BT is on 22nd.

hi there.................I had my 3dt of three embryos on Wed. Oct.13..............this is my 4th IVF. Three first ones to another clinic, changed clinic for this 4th attempt (going to Conell now). I love your comment above.......lol............i don't know what to compare and what not..............one thing I'm happy is that my new Dr. stimulated me with half of my trevious stimulations and got more eggs and all mature (14 in total). 6 embryos were done, three tranderred on Wednesday (8, 6, 6 cells), three waiting to be blastocyst so we can freeze (HOPEFULLY)!!!
Yesterday i started having slight back pain and cramps, slight diarrea, very bad mood swings (lol)..............NORMAL????? don't know.......
Let's hope that we'll get pregnant this time (two if God wants so) and our babies will be born same day, isn't it amazing?
Fingers crossed sister, baby dust all over you.
