Week of April 29

[megstoo]

I'm horrible and lost where everyone is in their journey so good luck to everyone testing/doing ER or transfers.

What's on tap this week?

[megstoo]

For me:
Tomorrow is my 14th wedding anniversary - another year in the books.
I also have my pre-surgery stuff this week and next Monday (5/6) is laparoscopy and hysteroscopy - once that's done we should be able to go right into another ER although now my RE is talking final FET first which DH and I are still thinking about.

H has an sa tomorrow. Right now I am just waiting for my next cycles to start and to find out my era results.

[moonriver]

I’m waiting for my cycle to start so we can hopefully do treatment this month. It feels like everything is going so slow since we had to skip last month. And also, I’m currently CD39, so it IS going slowly.

[joenali]

I find out tomorrow how many of our fertilized eggs made it to day 5. I have to start birth control tomorrow to get my bleeding under control. I’m anemic and they won’t do a transfer with my numbers the way they are.

[vmars]

Tomorrow I go see my doctor to hopefully get cleared to start my PIO shots. The physician assistant thought she saw a polyp last week but my nurse thinks it’s unlikely. Pray all goes well tomorrow and I can still do my transfer on 5/7.

We are in the final stages of getting our house ready to sell. We are probably going to list the week I find out if this all works. It helps to have this distraction, but I am worried I will regret my decision later. Ugh. I am just charging onwards to bigger and better things lol.

None of our embryos made it. They all arrested yesterday. I’m so sad. I got the call
When my students were at recess. They were all wondering why I was crying. I just said I was sad. I got lots of sweet hugs.

We have a follow up on May 6th.

[shoeless]

[kristind3]

I'm so sorry joenali. That happened to us our first round of IVF and it is devastating. Be kind to yourself.

[pickel]

I’m so sorry, joenali. ((Hugs))

[landmermaid]

I'm so very sorry. 💔

[joenali]

Thanks guys. I didn’t realize how sad I would be. I just wanted that little part of dh and I to work. We have a follow up appointment on Monday. I’d like to try IVF again. We’ll see what the dr says.

[ilovecandy]

I am so incredibly sorry. That sucks. I hope that the next round is more successful and the wait goes quickly. Hugs.

My u/s went well this am. Doctor said he doesn’t see a polyp so I can start my PIO shots tomorrow am. My transfer is for 5/7 and pregnancy test is 5/16. I will be doing an open house for my house on 5/19....so a very busy 2 weeks coming up!

[msmerymac]

joenali, I'm so sorry. FWIW, I had that happen on my second round of IVF. Definitely see what they say about how they might change up the protocol next time!

Yes, we are definitely going to talk about different protocols. I’m also curious about egg donation. I’m not sure if it’s something we want, but I’d like to look into it at the very least.

I had the same thing happen for my second ER. We decided to do one more ER and got four PSG normal embryos.

[vmars]

I did my first PIO shot today. It wasn’t bad. I am probably going to do a PM schedule so I will have to do a second shot tonight.

Of course now I feel like I am getting a cold (either that or bad allergies from all the damn pollen) I stayed home today to relax and see if I can nip it in the bud.

[pandora89]

I am so sorry joenali. Sending so many hugs. We had a similar result with our first cycle, we had nothing fertilize.

[msmerymac]

Started monitoring for my FET today. Going to start estrace tonight.

FET cycles are so much more relaxed than egg retrieval cycles. It's like, "Are you SURE I have enough monitoring appointments?" I'll probably only have 3-4 all month.

They really are.  I think for all of mine there were only 3-4 prior to the actual transfer.  Plus if your lining looks good the thickness of my lining has never been an issue), my clinic will stop making you do the US at each appointment and only does the blood work for hormone level checks.
