Waiting for Transfer

Jane – CD15 FET Trans 20.07.12
ReeRee so excited for your transfer tomorrow and it works out perfectly so that you can have a few days off. I have cut out caffeine this cycle although i decided to cut it out from CD1, i don't drink excessive amounts of caffeine but love a morning coffee and a nice tea before bed so for me i figured all of nothing was better. Not not sure that it makes any difference but after last cycle failing i figure cutting it out cant hurt, and after hearing that Vic and Joeve cut it out also i am very determined to stick to the no caffeine this time. FX it works wonders for both of us and yep its a FET for me this cycle.
MyTurn I hope you are doing OK hun, so sorry to hear your having a tough day . Like most of the ladies here I wish there was more i could do or say to make it better.
N2L dont give up hope yet. I think a new FS is a great idea because 41 is not in anyway beyond hope and sometimes a fresh look on things can make all the difference, doing the same old thing over and over again is obviously not working. Im excited for you and I hope the new FS has something new for you to try.
Jane not long till transfer now and i know what you mean about the pessaries, before starting IVF i had the biggest fear of Needles but now i am more annoyed about the pessaries then i am the injections, its funny but i actually look forward to the injections now because i feel like we are doing something.
Mrs P hope you not too lonley over in the TWW, not long now and you'll have some company, I hope there are some sticky vibes over there.
Hi to Miss B, SLMOO, Me4ever, Emma, PlanetSashet and any other ladies stalking.
AFM- after almost 2 days I finally spoke with the clinic i was starting to think i would never get to speak to a nurse. Well not much to tell for now, I have to go in tomorrow to pick up the meds for my FET cycle and get all my appointment dates. I have my fingers very tightly crossed that this cycle will be much easier on my body and I have a super sticky little embryo waiting for me.
GL for your transfer on Monday ReeRee And if you want to stay caffeine free, have you tried caffeine free tea? That's what I drink
Myturn, sorry you're missing your DH and I hope your day got better hun
n2l, wow that's a lot to digest from your FS app.! I don't know much about gastric bands, but one of my besties was a larger lady and she was always told to lose some
weight before attempting IVF. She secretly got it done a year and a half ago (I didn't even know about it!), and then against all odds she got pg naturally after losing
about 25 kg (she was round about the 110 kg mark) 3 months after the surgery. When I say against all odds, she is only 32, has only got one fellopian tube (the other one was cut out when she was 20 as she had a borderline cancerous lump on it) and the remaining tube was blocked!! The poor lil embie got stuck in the tube and she suffered an ectopic pg. But she did get pg! She swears it was the weight she lost that made her fall pg. Her hubby apparently has super swimmers, and they have been DTD with no protection for 10 years.
Jane, chin up and fingers and toes crossed for this cycle lovely
Mrs P, keeping everything crossed for you hun
Mrs Mac, FET cycles rock!! Hoping this one will do the trick for you
Hello to everyone else!
AFM, still jabbing away I got a painful throat come out of no where, this is just ridiculous!!! I was only sick recently for what seemed like ages, I want to feel normal again!
n2l - wow, that is a lot to process. your plan ahead sounds similar to mine atm. my FS told me that the nk cell thing is 'controversial' but she has seen some good results with it, rather than it being just plain bs! i have read up a lot about it (as im sure you have) & immune protocols and the theory behind it makes sense to me, but there is definately a lot of division between FS's about it (even within our own clinic). i have heard dr nick is the go-to-guy for this too and nearly booked an appt with him last month but my FS ended up suggesting the nk cell biopsy anyway & agreed to trying the bondi/colorado protocol. FS will do nk cell biopsy & hysteroscopy if next FET fails.
i also asked my FS about the pipelle biopsy this week, she will perform it for me if i want with next FET. again, the theory behind this makes sense to me (similar to being more fertile after d&c), but i must admit i have not researched the pipelle biopsy extensively yet. still undecided about whether to do it with this FET, but to be honest - im getting desperate here & like you, dont want to keep trying the same thing over and over hoping for a different outcome. did your FS mention why she wouldnt do it within a cycle?
i dont think its wasting your time to get a second opinion. i think sometimes FS's forget the impact consecutive failed cycles have on us physically & emotionally. we could keep trying month after month, hoping and praying for the right embryo - sounds logical, but time is ticking people... and we are the ones waiting. i think its only natural to explore other options (whats that saying - nothing ventured, nothing gained?). would your current FS work with dr nick for treatment, or would you switch clinics if your appt goes well?
it's good your FS is positive about your potential to get pregnant, and acknowledges that even though your issues present a speed-hump - women do get pregnant with these speed-humps. even it happens or not, its a possibility and therefore we are compelled to keep trying. i hope you dont mind my comments n2l, i just feel your pain atm. xx
So far I haven't had any side effects from gonal F apart from blowing up like a balloon back in 2008. In the Jan cycle this year I had puregon, no side effects. This time I'm back on gonal F, dosage is 375. Firts jab OK, second jab was last night and this morning I feel nauseaus, slightly dizzy and light headed. Not myself at all. Oh, and slight discomfort in my belly. Is this normal? Has anyone had similar side effects on gonal F? Or is it something I ate last night?
. Like most of the ladies here I wish there was more i could do or say to make it better.
i was starting to think i would never get to speak to a nurse. Well not much to tell for now, I have to go in tomorrow to pick up the meds for my FET cycle and get all my appointment dates.
