IVF summer 2013

I am wondering if anyone is going to be going thru IVF the beginning of this summer? Would you like to support one another going thru this journey? Maybe we could share tips and support one another? I am expecting to be starting in July.

Welcome!
I'm on those meds plus Bravelle this cycle.  None of it make me feel good but so far this cycle I've been able to tolerate it.  I'm having difficulty with a different med that's makes me feel fatigued all the time.  

I go in for my second check today.  I hope to hear that things are progressing well but I know anything is possible.  Heading to acupuncture afterwards and hope I can get some relief from this headache and nausea.  How is everyone else doing?

I'm really sorry to hear your cycle didn't work out as planned.  To hear your son ask for a sister is heartbreaking too.  Have you consulted with your RE about the outcome yet? Are there any changes he suggests.

Girls my son said this morning after his prayer that it was time for his baby to come. He has been asking for a little sister for 9 months. he prays for her all the time.

Hi Thania
I have just done first ivf but I was not on the same drugs as you...I'm in Australia and the main drug they use here is called Gonal F, so I can't tell you about side effects of these particular ones but in general some people experience side effects like cramping, fatigue, moodiness and nausea on these meds. However, some people don't! I was a lucky one who had no side effects at all, I wouldn't even have known it was happening if I hadn't been injecting myself each day!
Good luck with your ivf cycle :)

I still think there was a faint line on your IC this morning rmmoye.  Do you have anymore of those to test with again?  I personally always have darker BFP's with evening urine.

Good Luck with your beta!

I don't blame u. I would freeze as many as u can while u are younger. I  know we have 1 frozen but I am hoping that we have 2-3 frozen. thye have not called me to tell me of any of the other ones made it.

I will keep u up to date. I am using IC. I only have 1 $ one so I am going to wait to do it sunday.  I have posted the  picture of the opks( also internet cheapy )  on line. u can look in my pictures and see them. I started opks at 5dpt  and for the first time this morning I did a hpt.  Feel free to look at them. I will again test in the morning and post.

Hi and welcome!
Thank you for sharing your story with us.  
I know you mentioned testing the okp theory but what  hpts are you using if I may ask? The first response early results tend to pick up positives well before beta in my experience.  Or even some of the internet cheapies that pick up like 10ml ! The cramping or tugging feelings can be a good sign.  As you know every cycle is different and makes you constantly wonder if it worked. I'm glad you don't have that many more days to wait for beta.  July first will be here before you know it! Please let us know how things turn out for you!  Glad you got a couple to freeze too!  We have two frozen but elected to do another fresh cycle since we transfer so many at one time.  The other reason for doing another fresh cycle is that those frozen are frozen at a younger maternal age.

ok girls i went through my first ivf  for this first time this month.  After 6 years of ttc  we did our er on fathers day and the transfer last friday i am doing the whole  opk thing to  test to see if it gets darker. the theory is that if u are pregnant the opk wil get darker. as of this morning it was dark but the hpt was neg. i test this morning for the first time with the hpt.  i go for my beta on July 1st.
We retrieved 13,  9 were mature 1 partly mature, 3 not mature enough to fertilize. out of what fertilized 3 stayed at 1 cell, and as for last friday we had 3 blast 1 grad bc( we froze it,  On day 3 it was 10 cell grad c but improved and made it to blast first.)  and two grad b blast ( on day 3 they were 8 cell grad b, they didnt blast until around noon on day 5). we then had  the rest still trying they were  not blast yet. on day 3 they were 4 cell & 5 cell both grade c and then 2  6 cells grade b. he was hoping the 6 cells would make it to blast by day 6 so they could be frozen. i have not heard anything yet.


I have had a lot of cramping.  been watery (cm) for the last few days.  and I am very regular in the bm area.  



I will happily share all of my experiences with u girls.

I was supposed to be starting in July, but due to some clinic issues and then my city flooding, we pushed it off until September.  I'd live to follow along with your journey and help you out where I can.

Good Luck!
