May/June 2012 IVFers

[cheekyhalfs]

Hello ladies, I'm starting my buseraline injections tonight for my 4th treatment (2nd of IVF) and wondered if anyone else is going to be on the same dates, or thereabouts.

I would really like to get a little group together of those going through the same process so we can go through it together and keep each other updated during this hard time :o)

[jiji76]

Oh No!  I am so very sorry to hear this news, and I can't even imagine how you must be feeling right now.  Take all of the time you need, it is definitely a grieving process.  Thank you for all of the wonderful support you have provided to me and the other ladies.  You are an amazing woman and will make an amazing mother some day very soon.  Please know that I am here if you need a b*^#h session or just want to talk...I am thinking about you, praying for you, and hoping that some time will help to ease some of the pain.  Try to hang in there, friend and take good care of yourself including letting yourself process through all of your emotions.

I'm out ladies, it has been confirmed today that my pregnancy has not grown and has most likely been chemical, I've to stop all meds to allow AF to come....we are completely heart broken :'-(

Thank you everyone for being so supportive, you have been amazing....I think I'm going to need to take a little time out to get over this.

I will be back though!!!

Hi all

I'm reading everyone's stories with hope for us all. I can't help noticing the differences ithough across treatment/ advice etc.

I had my ET on Thursday. So it's only 3 three of an extremely long 2ww.

I've read about 3 day bed rest etcetc. I was o. My feet and driving home itching 20 mins of the transfer. I was advised to avoid anything too strenuous and the stay away from the gym until after my pregnancy test ( at least I won't feel guilty for not goung, given its for a good cause lol!!!)

My transfer I believe is classed as day 3 but was actually only 46 hours after retrieval. I can help wondering if that was too soon and thats why my cells only split into 4's and 5's.

Any one had similar experience ??

[Dcac]

Hi jiji

Just read your post and relieved to hear someone who also had heartburn. Mine has been bad since day after transfer.

Have you been able to take anything??

[Dcac]

Thanks. I hope everything g oes well or you

Hugs

[Dcac]

Thanks

Today I have severe itching when it's not very lady like to scratch!!!  Looed at vagisil but it's not suitable if pregnant so won't take the chance

The 2ww is dragging. I'm only 2days past transfer!!!

[cheekyhalfs]

Thank you, I am scared to say it out loud as yet and have not really told my anyone, which is tough as I am so close to my family and my mum and sisters are so upset for us as I told them it was a straight no! I will definitely tell them either way, I just don't want them to get their hopes up too.

Going for my next beta on Monday and I am terrified, but a tiny bit excited....playing those numbers have doubled up!

[jiji76]

Hi Ladies...hope everyone is doing well today! Cheekyhalfs, I am so excited about your news!!! An early congrats and fingers crossed, I know you're not out of the woods yet but things are definitely moving in the right direction with those beta #'s increasing!  I am so very hopeful for you!

Welcome to Dcac and qtpie!  As for any symptoms I have had, mostly just sore breasts, cramping (seemed a bit different than AF), headaches, and fatigue.  But these are also all symptoms of the progesterone so it really is hard to tell!  Best of luck to all...

[cheekyhalfs]

Hello ladies,

Waitingforbfp - thank you so much! It means a lot, I will keep everyone posted :)

Dcac - best of luck to you, I really hope this cycle brings you a special bfp. I've heard ladies on here getting pregnant with 4-5 cells transfers, so good luck ;) ssbd your way.

qtpie - it's tough for me to relate any of my cycle to yours as unfortunately I got quite poorly after ER and I had a severe case of Ohss which I was hospitalised for. So I was in pain, a lot, up until 5dp5dt. At this stage, I was completely convinced I wasn't pregnant. I felt the only symptoms I had, we're the ones I usually get before AF. Again it's hard to say as my drugs and the pain from my ER/Ohss was masking everything.

But please don't be disheartened, I have heard sooo many ladies on here with NO symptoms and surprise surprise, they get a BFP. No symptoms is good, as are symptoms lol...it's all a cruel waiting game really so try not to stress too much!

I did, by complete shock, get a, I'll call it a small bfp....my beta is very low and we are currently riding it out waiting to see if my pregnancy is viable or not. Very very hard times, made even worse by my getting slight aches/twinges here and ther so I'm convinced it's game over...but then I shake myself a little and remind myself it's not over yet.....so I'm hanging on in there!

It's good your tests are coming out as negative as at least you know your trigger is out of your system! Perhaps hold off until 8-9dpt and do another. And even then don't be too down, as my hpt was negative on day 8 due to my low hcg count.

I wish you all the very best of luck, and send LOTS of sticky baby dust all our ways ;)

Hi There,

I have read so many uplifting experiences of a successful pregnancy and I am so happy for all of you.  My heart goes out to everyone who is going through what we all are going through.  But right now, I am going through my own ordeal and could not find anyone who is going through the same experience...I have no symptoms at all.  Is it the obvious? i had 5day early blast 3 embies fair quality transfered.  That I am not pregnant. Or is there still a possibility and that I just need to wait until my HCG appt.  I have read everyone's experience and their symptoms, but none on someone who had no symptoms but was pregnant.  I have read and searched all forums but found no information on my experience. I had 3 failed ivf. one transfer was done day3 i had all the sysmptoms, sore boobs, cramps fq urination but BFN. rest 2 cycle no transfer as they were poor quailty. My only fourth cycle my embies could make it to early blast. nothing to freeze toh.
I did 5dp5dt HPT clear blue digi test. IT was BFN. i guess too early right now. prayers prayers and prayers

Hi everyone

I just found this site today and reading everyone's posts. I'm 38 and my hubby is 42. We are in our first icsi cycle. W had 7 eggs retrieved on Tuesday with 5 fertilising. Today I have 2 embryos transferred. I was concerned that the other three were not suitable for freezing as it sure is this means the 2 they transfers were not good enough.

How did your cells split. The 2theytransferd were split in 4 and 5. I was told they weren't top quality but not poor quality either - so no idea really!!

It is also my late nana's bridal today s hoping she is looking down on us and helping my little embryos along

Good look all

[WaitingforBFP]

I'm happy to see your levels rose a bit. I'm happy it did and not go down. I wish the best for you and I hope everything works out great for you. I send you millions and millions of very sticky baby dust.

[cheekyhalfs]

Hello ladies

Well I hope everyone is doing well?

I think most of you are aware that we're kinda in a "maybe" category right now and it's so tough. My beta came back positive but very low at 22 on Monday, I was ahead of myself and went on 9dp5dt! They called me back in on Tuesday, 24 hrs later for more bloods and that came back at 36.

Still not as high as it should be, but a small increase. I've to go back Monday for another beta to see if the pregnancy is viable or not.

Hard times....trying to remain hopeful but realistic also.

Thanks so much for all the lovely and caring support, you are a great bunch of ladies :) x

[jiji76]

How is everyone doing today?  I hope feeling well...as many of you know, my beta came back yesterday and we are pregnant!!! So very excited.  It really doesn't even seem real.  We have our first ultrasound next week, so hoping all goes well and our RE sees the sac.  Just praying this is our sticky little love bean!!! Wishing all of you the best of luck, it is truly amazing what we go through for these potential little ones. You are some of the most deserving mothers I know, and I will continue to pray for everyone's sticky BFP's!!!

[WaitingforBFP]

HI Cheekyhalfs... I'm so so sorry for the late reply, I've been so busy haven't been able to read up. I'm am good. I finally got a BFP on June 1st. 10yrs is way too long and thank you for the compliment. I don't think i would've gotten through all that i did without the support of women like you. These forums help out a great deal.

I just saw you posted you got a BFP on a HPT ... when is your beta? I hope all goes well for you, but if you really want this don't give up if you can help it.

Please let me know how things go with you. I'm here to chat as well.

[jiji76]

I am so incredibly sorry to hear this news bijoux and cheekyhalfs :( I am thinking about you and am heart broken for you...take the time you need to try and heal and know that you have friends here for you if you want to talk.

[cheekyhalfs]

I done a hpt this morning and it was also negative :( I'm so sorry for us both.

I think this may be the end of the road for me and hubby's ttc battle, I've no fight left in me!

[Bijoux24]

Just had my blood test
It's negative...
❤Thank you all for your incredible support!!!!❤
Signing off!...

[Bijoux24]

unfortunately looks like one!...
Just had my blood test done, will find out in few hrs!...
I'm on Prometrium vaginal suppositories!
Keeping FX!
And praying for us!...

[cheekyhalfs]

Hi there, no I'm not bleeding but I'm on prontogest injections so as far as I'm aware, I won't bleed until I stop these. I'm going to test in the morning, that will be 8dp5dt but I'm really not expecting anything, I've been very down today and feel as though I have lost all hope! 3 years of ttc, 4 treatments later and it's wearing me down :(

Who knows.....miracles can happened I guess!!

Hope you are ok, I'm so sorry you have been bleeding and pray its not the dreaded af.  Can I ask, where you on the progesterone pessaries or the injections?  Sending lots of luck and hugs.

[Bijoux24]

Hang in there cheekyhalfs!...
When is your beta?!..
As long as you are not bleeding
Things will be alright!..
My bleeding was pretty heavy,
So thinking my period came...:(
Having blood test in few hours!...
Feels like its over though!....:(

[cheekyhalfs]

Well I have woken today 7dp5dt, with my breasts, in particular my right breast not feeling tender anymore, I'm gutted. This happens every month and has happened every fertility cycle too....slim thinking I'm out as if my boobs have gone pretty much back to normal, then my hormone levels must have dropped. I can't think of any other reason why. I've got more cramps today also. I'm pretty devastated.....

[Bijoux24]

So very true Jiji,
That's why beeing here & getting such an incredible support
Simply amazing!!!❤

[jiji76]

Thinking about you Durban and Bijoux!!! Hoping your beta tests go well...try to keep the faith!  This whole process is definitely trying on many levels and I hope and pray that we all get our sticky BFP's!!!   Just want to say thanks to all the ladies for the support on this site.  Personally, my DH and I have chosen to just tell our immediate family about our IVF process and infertility challenges, but really no one knows the whole story nor do they seem to understand.  It is great to have the support of such amazing women that can relate to our situation....
