Sept & Oct 2012 - IVF/ICSI

[cheekyhalfs]

Hello ladies

I'm soon to be starting my 3rd IVF (cycle shut down meds starting on 30th Aug) and want to create a group for anyone in the same situation, and who want to join this thread to support one another through this tough process.

Wishing everyone who is TTC lots of luck....

I go in Monday for the bloodwork.  I am fearing since there was only 1 to put in this time that it didn't work this time either.  I keep telling myself it was the golden one.  I keep feeling what I usually feel before AF :-( My hopes aren't as high as the first time, I really thought that one was going to work since we got to put in 3.  I am really kicking myself for waiting so long to see a specialist, married 14 years and will be turning 39 in February.  I only have 2 more chances at IVF with the insurance.

Good luck to everyone that has upcoming appointments.

Yes, pease keep me posted.  So excited for you for your scan. A magical moment

Hey, not long till you find out then ;-)  I'm really hoping this is it for you.

As for symptoms, well you know they can vary so much from one woman to the next.  Personally, this time I just felt a little funny.  I felt headachy for about 4-5 days before getting my beta, and lots of slightly bloated strange tugging feelings in my tummy, with a lot of sharp pains in the left side.  I'm still getting twinges here and there, it's horrible - I'm constantly wondering if its all ok, or if things have decided to stop again like last time ;-(  But I need to remain positive and hope all is well.  I get a 7 week scan on Wednesday to check. I will keep you posted if you like?

Take lots of care.

Well, I'm now 9 days into my 2ww and I have the worst headache and hot flushes. Not sure if anyone else suffered hot flushes

This cycle feels different to last one. I had extremely sore breasts last time, so much so even walking around if they bounced they hurt like hell. They are slightly tender this time, but nothing compared to last time

Last one resulted in chemical pregnancy- so not feeling too positive about getting any BFP this time round.

Will keep you all updated over my last 5 days!!!

Thanks for the welcome.  I am in my countdown to my FET on Monday.  High beta numbers are good, how exciting that it may be twins.  Relax, enjoy, and get some rest.

Hi ladies, sorry I've not replied I've been pretty tired since coming home from our trip to Paris.

Nightscoldkiss, Thisistheyear & Tikita - I'm so so sad and sorry about your negatives, I have learned from the past 3.5 years of ttc that life can be unfair :( please note I am genuinely thinking of you all and her anytime you want to chat/rant Xx

Dcac- wishing you all the very best, keep me posted :)

Welcome to all the new ladies who are starting/midway through a cycle, wishing you all the very best.

Kkeitt - thank you, yes our 2nd beta which was taken on 14dp5dt is quite high lol, we are thinking there is possibly 2 little jellybeans :) either way, I'm just praying this pregnancy lasts & to see a little strong heartbeat when we have our first u/s.

Thinking of you all, take lots of care!
