Fall IVF: beautiful fall leaves bringing beautiful summer babies!! - Page 10

post #181 of 762

viroes, i totally get the wanting to move on.  for almost 19 months i pretty much just jumped from procedure to procedure so i'd have something to look forward to.  will you give your body any time to rest in between? 

 

laura, that's a kick ass beta!!! i am so excited for you.  i keep peeing on sticks to make sure i'm still pregnant, i can't wait to have actual doubling betas.  

 

rcr, how did the chicken burial go?  sorry to hear your son has ringworm.  did you find out how to get rid of it?   also, thanks for the story about your dh.  i think i often expect my dh to react exactly like i do, and obviously he doesn't!  he's actually gotten a bit more excited yesterday.  he confessed that when i first showed him the test he didn't see the line!  it was 5:45 am, he didn't have his glasses on, and was still half asleep.  i guess i can't really blame him! 

 

mom, three cheers for dr t!!! again, thanks again, 100 times thank you, for giving me that initial recommendation to go to him.  going to SIRM was the best decision i ever made.  i was reluctant to leave my last RE, but i really doubt they ever would have been able to get me pregnant.  

 

to all the ladies,  it's crazy how entwined some of us get in each others' lives. i'm so happy when people are able to make brief stops here, but for those of us who had a bit more of a struggle (no woman left behind RCR! you're next!), it's like watching family graduate.  i mean, who DIDN'T cry when blue got her natural bfp??  i felt the same way stalking the grads thread and watching everyone who i met when i first started move on and give birth to beautiful babies.  the ivf advice and support we share here is priceless.  obviously hormones are making me sappy, but i have never been more grateful for finding this board. 

 

afm, today's line is darker than the control practically, so i think i'm still in the game.  i just want to take my beta already!

I found this recently and hadn't seen anyone talking about eating avocados during IVF before.  I figure it is tastes good so why not give it a go.  Anyone read anything about avocados before?

Aura- We live abroad right now and we had no IVF coverage in the states. I can get three to four fresh rounds for the price of one when we return.  We are not sure how long we will stay abroad, it depends on DHs work.  It is a lot less stressful knowing that we can afford to try again than if we wait and return home and have to worry about the cost of each cycle.   I had success with this doctor on the first go last time, so hopefully a new fresh cycle will do the trick.  Also I am already 39 so I figure it is best to just keep charging forward.  Since my FET was natural I don't really need the same recovery that a medicated cycle might warrant.  I guess I will see what the RE says this week.

rcr - yeah, I had a reaction to the BCP. I've taken it before years ago, but a different brand, so I was really surprised. Hopefully things will still move along close to as planned.
Ugh, I'm sorry you have to deal with ringworm. I hope it heals up quickly!

 

blueyezz - no epi-pen, but I'm going to see my doctor this week about getting one just in case.

 

auraleigh - EEEK! I'm so excited for you. I love seeing those double lines. I'm literally dancing for you right now. Men are so weird about pregnancy stuff. Make sure you celebrate, even if he's not yet.

 

vireoes - thank you!
I agree about it being less real for men. DH always has issues really feeling it. He often feels badly because I'm so much more emotional over it and he feels like he should be, but often isn't because it's not his body going through it.

 

 

AFM - no breakthrough bleed yet after stopping the BCP. I'm not sure it will happen, but I will call the RE on Tuesday if it doesn't and we'll take it from there.

So happy to see all the good news!

The nurse called about my biopsy today. They found endomitritis. Antibiotics for ten days and then proceeding with the transfer as scheduled.

So happy for Laura and Aura!!

Vireos, I don't blame you! Better get those eggs while they're fresh and you can!

Daisy, I had the same thing right before my fresh cycle. Good that they found it and can treat it!

Shesaid, hope af comes soon!

Afm, lots of laying. Lots. Is it Monday yet?
post #188 of 762

Aura - can't wait to hear about you beta number!!!  Only 2 more sleeps until you know!!!!

 

Laura - great 2nd beta!!!

 

Daisy - Maybe that is a good thing that they found something!  This could really help getting your BFP!!!!  Glad there is an easy fix!!!

 

Shesaid - i'm sure your body is kinda confused right now and wondering what is going on. Hopefully AF will show her ugly face soon.
 

Vireoes - fingers crossed for your next cycle.  Never heard anything about avocados but sound good!!!!

post #189 of 762

Aura:  Woo Hoo!  I'm so happy for you!! I can't wait to hear your beta results on Monday!!

post #190 of 762
Did a little Googling and am wondering if this was caused by my recent miscarriage. Anyway, glad it has an easy solution!

Can't wait to hear bout your beta, Aura!

I've been lurking for a week, but I want to congratulate those with their BFPs. I'm so happy for you all.

post #192 of 762

Laura and aura - congrats to you both!!!! joy.gifjoy.gif

 

It's so encouraging to see 2 ladies who have never yet seen 2 lines finally get their BFP's! I can't even imagine how you guys must be feeling right now!

 

vireoes - really sorry about your BFN. Hugs. I know what you mean about moving forward to not deal with the BFN. At my last BFN (after my IUI) I had an appointment scheduled with my RE the very same day to talk about when I was going to start IVF. I was so excited about moving forward that I barely even realised I had gotten a BFN. However it turns out those feelings were there anyways no matter how hard I tried to ignore them and I spent the next week or so crying all the time for no reason. I guess it's important to mourn no matter how much we wish we could just skip that step.

 

rcr - glad to hear you did that protocol as well. The info about your doses makes me less worried about OHSS. Thanks for adding that blurb for me, it's perfect :)

 

AFM - I expect AF to show in just over a week. Then I get to start the IVF! It's so close!

post #193 of 762

Daisy- Yes, it could be. My OB said I might have had endometritis about a week after I delivered the boys. I had just had 24 hours of antibiotics before I left the hospital so he didn't see the need to do more.

Laura:  Congratulations!  Your numbers are awesome!!!

 

Aura:  My friend...I am doing the biggest and best happy dance I can manage right now!  I am just ecstatic for you...energy.gif

post #195 of 762

Aura, YAY!!!!!  I am SO SUPER excited for you!!!!!  I read back 2 pages to try to get caught up and it sounds like your beta is tomorrow, can't wait to here what the numbers are!!!!  When is the ultrasound?  Any thoughts on if it's one or two?  We'd always love to have you in the twins club :)  Just so happy for your BFP and wishing you a very H&H 9 months!

I am home sick today. Feeling really crappy. Thank goodness the babysitter took DS this afternoon (this was my day to pick him up). I was just popping in to see how Aura's beta went. Any news?
 

post #197 of 762
Praying and belly, wheeeee!!!! I can't wait to join you on the other side!

Okay drumroll... Beta was 264!
post #198 of 762

Aura::  Wooo Hooo!!!  That is an awesome number.  My first beta was 59!!!!

 

RCR:  Sorry you are not feeling well.  I was just thinking ahead (trying to get prepared).  I love Christmas...it is a magical time of year for me.  I just know this year December will be magical for you too....I see a BFP in your future.  I can't wait to share the excitement with you.  Your time is right around the corner.  I am soooo rooting for you!

post #199 of 762
Aww rcr, I'm sorry to hear you're not feeling well. What's wrong? I'm glad you had the afternoon to yourself to rest. I agree with praying, I am going to be your biggest cheerleader this December. After how great the last cycle seemed, this one can only get better.

Aura -    Holy Schnikes Batman!!!!  Maybe you have two buns in that oven w/ that number!!!!!  joy.gifI'm on the "RCR" Cheer team as well!!!  energy.gif

 

rcr - do you think you have the flu or is it just sinus/cold?  Hope you were able to lay low today while DS was gone and you are feeling better.
 

Sourire - Hope AF shows up so that you can get the ball moving w/ the IVF!!!!!

 

Laura - how are you feeling????  When is your next appt???
