So sorry CatyO. That is just so unfair. Sending you hugs Hun. Have a good cry, wait a while & when you feel strong again have another crack. I'm here if you need to winge. Take care of yourself xx
CatyO- So sorry it was not better news for you honey. This journey can be so hard and cruel sometimes.. Massive hugs X
Beau- I will be stalking tomorrow. Things are looking positive X
Juniper- Yay for being in the TWW.. Everything is tightly crossed for you X
MyTurn- Sorry your having such a dodgy day..
AFM- The lab called and my news was better than I had expected! Our little Morula from yesterday is a perfect looking blast today and has been frozen. We also had a second blast with some fragmentation so the lab has frozen it too but said it may be less likely to Freeze/thaw ok or result in a successful pregnancy.
We have 2 embryos that had jumped from 8 cells yesterday to Morula today so they will keep them one more night and see where they are at tomorrow.
My FS has bought my scan forward to Friday to check my lining as since increasing my Progynova I haven't had bleeding for 5 days!!
Catyo, I am so sorry to hear that, I know it takes time to recover emotionally. Please don't give up and we really need to be physically and emotionally strong for doing this. Have a good rest and take care.
Juniper- thanks for telling me this. I hope your egg quality will be improved by taking Melatonin. I had a few days bad sleep, hard to fall sleep and easy to wake up and in the afternoon I felt much tried. I read Melatonin's side effect today, it says the restlessness insomnia is one of the uncommon side effects. I hope it is not Melatonin affects me , it maybe I stop taking Progynova and Pessaries and my hormone level dropped and it affects me because my period came today which is three days later after I stop the medication. I have very short period cycle 21 days. I think these different kinds of the hormone affects my nerves but I still want to take it to improve my egg quality. I used to be a good sleeper, but when I start doing the cycle my sleep quality is up and down. I will have a meeting with my nurse tomorrow and I will double check with her.
Oh, CatyO, I'm so sorry, hun. It's just not fair to start so well and then end so quickly. You're always welcome to stick around if you'll be TTC naturally while you wait for a new IVF. I've removed you from the list as requested, so just let me know when you want to be re-added.
Jasmine, that's fabulous news!!
Bestrong, to be honest, that's what last night was like for me - restless. I had to get up at 5:30am for the IUI, so was very frustrated. I went to bed at 11:30pm (an hour later than planned), but didn't get any proper sleep until 1:30am and then woke at 4:30am. I have to say though, that's not the norm. I usually sleep like a log with the melatonin; it's just the occasional night that's restless. And I've been taking my prednisone at lunchtime lately (long story, but that's been the first meal of the day) and that can cause restlessness, so I think that's the more likely culprit, to be honest. Will be interesting to see how I sleep tonight after taking my prednisone nice and early today (had breakfast at the cafe downstairs while waiting for the IUI).
As I left work today another girl told me she is 12 weeks pregnant (that's 2 in the last week). It was her 4th time of ivf. I am happy for her but my first reaction was 'when is it my turn?'. Hopefully tomorrow but then I know it's a long way to get to 12 weeks. If the result is positive tomorrow I am so scared of miscarrying again.
Thanks ladies, I am actually feeling better than I was last Friday. Last Friday when they told me that the hcg didn't double, I knew there was something wrong and I had a good cry, Saturday had a good cry too and yesterday I picked all my pieces up and thought "that's it, I can't do anything but just to pray for a miracle (like someone of you says on your signature, sorry I cant remember who...). Anyway I left everything in God's hands, after all man proposes, God disposes...
Today when I got the call from the clinic and they told me the bad news, I just thought "pfffttt ok" of course I felt bad, but didn't feel like having another big loud cry. I guess I will have the cry when AF arrives as the nurse said I should expect to have a very painful period this time and that really scares me, as I am not familiar with painful periods at all, she even said that if it gets too bad to go the emergency department of the hospital???? Now, that scares me...
Juniper, I will let you know when AF arrives, so you add to the list on CD1, I think I will try to get pregnant naturally for a few months, but I don't think that will happen, if has not happened in nearly 2 years. I don't know when I will think in having a FET, which the nurse surprised me when she said I had 2 frozen embryos, I thought I had only one... she said the fourth one, was the one that didn't make it, I guess I was so excited about having a transfer that didn't really listen what they said. So, of 4 eggs, I got 3 embryos, is not that bad.
Well what can I say, it was my first IVF and even that didn't, it went very smooth, hubby gave me the injections which didn't hurt, just a bit itchy the first time, I didn't feel any mood swings, no pain, just a bit bloated, but just like when I abuse of popcorn... I thought if I get pregnant in this IVF it will be like "My God I am pregnant and I didn't even participate" if felt so alien, if that makes sense.
Buying hpt is something new for me, as I only bought a pregnancy test the last cycle and this one, I always get my period every 31 days like a clock work, and I have bought every month is the digital ovulation test and every month I ovulate on day 17, at least for the last 16 months, and never had a missed period until last cycle, I missed my period for 6 days and on day 36 of my cycle I bought a hpt and it came positive, the second line wasn't as dark as the other. The nurse called me to ask why I still didn't call to book my IVF and I told her I was missing my period and she asked if I could be pregnant and I told her about the hpt, she asked me to wait 2 more days and if still AF didn't arrive, go to the clinic for a bt, but AF arrived the next day and I called to book my IVF.
CatyO, would you like me to add you back on the list now with your little angel until CD1?
As for the (potentially) painful AF, when I had my chem pg (5w4d), the first 4 hours were quite bad. I normally have painful AFs (thanks to my endo), but these were twice as bad as normal (and that's saying something). But after those few hours, I passed what I assume was the sac and after that the pain was minimal. It's not the same for everyone and having a plan in place to go to the ER if you do have a lot of pain might be enough of a safety net to not need to go. It never occurred to me to go to hospital with my chem pg, but I was given the same instruction while waiting for my d&c (go to the ER if I started bleeding before the d&c). The hospital can't do anything other than pain management, but that can be a big help if it's bad.
And don't count yourself out on a natural BFP. We had been TTC 2.75 years and done 6 IUI, 3 IVF and 1 FET (all BFN) before getting our first ever BFP (the chem pg) and it was a natural conception. Stranger things have happened...
Now just have to waiting for AF to arrive in the next days and I don't think I will have another ivf for a few months. Juniper could you please delete me from the list? Thank you all xx
