IVF with PGD # 11

shattered.. Beta came back at 14 today which isn't good at all. Clinic told me to expect my period in the next few days :-(((((

I'm so sorry Munchkin, i was really hoping this was it for you. Sending big hugs xx

thanks J bear. I felt like we gave that one out best shot.. Not sure where to from here.. Still have 4 frozens which is good but just so frustrating not knowing why it's not working. This one obviously attempted to implant. Anyway... How did your d & c go? X

I know what you mean, everything seems right, so why didn't it work dammit! Its so frustrating.
I read about a study they were conducting to try to better understand why embryos don't always attached, because its something that even the drs can't explain. Unfortunately we just have to keep trying. Do you have a follow up appointment with your fs?

As for me, d&c went fine. They said everything looked ok on my insides. Biopsy results will be in Monday when i go back. My thyroid is going up & down tho so will prob have that treated.

So very frustrating. They told me to keep taking drugs. Af hasn't arrived yet, just brown spotting. Have to go back tomorrow for another bt to check levels.. I guess they have to make sure its not ectopic. Eek I hope not. Haven't spoken to fs yet. We have spent so much already this year I'm not sure we can afford any more at the moment. Glad your d and c went ok.. Have you got a transfer scheduled yet?

Has Af arrived yet Munchkin? I hope your body is starting to recover. It is expensive even to just do a FET, we thought we might as well do another in the same financial year because of the medicare safety net. So my follow up appt with my FS was yesterday & she has put me on thyroid meds & once my period starts this month we will do another natural fet. This time she said we'll have another BT 2 days before transfer to check my progesterone.

J bear yes af has arrived- have had a lot more bleeding and cramping this time.. Wonder if it was the aspirin that did that?
I see my FS tomorrow.. Hoping to convince him to transfer two this next cycle but I don't like my chances. Do you know what the protocol is at your clinic for transferring more than one? We might be transferring around the same time.. Pending my bloods tomorrow (need HCG back to baseline) will be doing a transfer this cycle of my FS says it is all good. We figure the same thing about the Medicare rebate.
Hope the thyroid meds do trick for you this time

Not sure about the asprun but it would make sense. I do find mine is pretty heavy after a cycle.

How did you go convincing your FS to transfer two? My FS is quite strict on single embryo transfer but i think there must be the option to transfer multiple because I've seen it on the paperwork.

Yep, convinced him quite easily to do double transfer.. It's all going down Monday.. Eek!!
When's yours j bear??

Oh thats good! AF arrived Tuesday so a few weeks for me.

Keep me posted & i will keep everything crossed.

Good news about your d&c, jbear. I am still stalking and hoping next transfer goes better for you... Xx

Good luck for Monday, munchkin.

Thanks Andie xx

Thanks Andie!
Transfer done.. and now we wait :-)
No POS this time as I'm on Pregnyl, which I'm kind of glad about.
Keep us updated J bear x

How are you going Munchkin? I'm off to get blood done now to see if I've ovulated.

Hi J bear! That means transfer won't be too far away for you! I'm doing okay, have had a cold the last few days and as per usual the 2ww is dragging. Not really feeling confident this round for some reason.. I guess the 3 previous fails have made me a bit pessimistic.. Hoping even one sticks but would be ecstatic with two! 4 more days till beta

Yep 2nd BT today hoping things are moving along so i can have transfer very soon. I have one good vein in my right arm so it is taking a beating.

Oh i hope you get better soon, inknow what you mean about being pessimistic. I'm the same. I hope the next 4 days flys by for you! Will be keeping everything crossed in the meantime.

Not long now Munchkin, fingers crossed.
Your turn next, Jbear! Xx

Good news for us!
BFP today! Beta sitting at 500..
Woohoo!
Hope I've started something here.. You're next J bear!!
