blossom - Man you are a fighter! It's just amazing how many strong women I've met on this site. You are an inspiration! I'd never heard of the NK cells until now. I've just Googled it, so I kind of get it........What is the prednisone doing to help (don't know much about that drug)?
Well you and I will be in at the same time How strange. Good luck with the trigger! mine is at 10.30 tonight. I had my last gonal f injection. I am getting nervous, but trying to stay calm.
Does anyone know what happens with an FET? I will be having it once recovered and I have no idea really. Will there be injections?
Hey guys, been hanging out for my FS appointment in two weeks. Fortunately I have to cancel it as I noticd things were a little different. Wasn't going to do any tests cos well, I need IVF, not so, BFP!!!!!!! Good luck ladies, my thoughts and prayers always have and always will be there. All my love, me.
Hi ladies do you mind if i stick around in here for a bit longer? im having a really tough time mentally. Im 6 weeks pg on tuesday but i just dont feel pg at all and i just feel like its not happening and keep thinking how much i just cant go through this journey anymore but at the same time i just dont know how to give up when its everything iv wanted my whole life. Im sorry and i know this should be the happiest time of my life but i feel like there is something wrong, i have had some slight cramping and i tiny bit of brown blood yesterday, everyday iv had sore boobs on and off but nothing today?? i know how selfish this is and im sorry i just needed some where to vent, i dont feel i belong anywhere at the moment. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jayejaye - woohoo, what an AWESOME egg haul you had!!! Yay you! FX for lots of great quality embies from it. Hope you are feeling ok now
Blossom - wow that really sucks about your NK cells. However, hopefully, this cycle will be the one seeing that now there will be no little nasties hampering it. Best of luck for EPU, bring on lots of lovely healthy little eggies
Williever - we have done one FET and we had no jabs. We did a medicated cycle, where I took progynova from the time I got AF and when my lining was right, we were scheduled for transfer. Before the transfer, I had to start the lovely progesterone as per a stim cycle plus keep up the progynova (oestradiol) tablets. You can also do a natural cycle where, correct me if I'm wrong ladies, but you will be monitored for ovulation via peesticks or blood tests and when it is O time, you will be ready to go. As we've only done a medicated cycle, I'm not as familiar with a natural cycle - think they are done if you have no problems with your cycle. Which I don't but for some reason, my clinic decided medicated was the way to go for us. In any case, it is way way less full on than a full stim cycle. HTH Good luck for your EPU and polyp removal - hope you can get lots of nice little embies to freeze
Melindaann - huge big yay to you on your BFP!!!!! Fingers, toes and eyes crossed that it is a lovely little sticky one for you
Blossom - try not to worry about the steroid side affects too much - like the weight gain. I gained about 15 kgs but during my pregnancy I have pretty much stayed the same as the fluid weight I lost was taken up on my belly so it comes out pretty even in the end. And at the end of the day it works - we tried for 7.5 years with no success and after finally being diagnosed with elevated nk cells was put on pred and on the third transfer using pred which was upped to 30 mg I got pregnant and am now nearly 39 weeks and counting down the days.
Good luck - and to any girls who have unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage and/or recurrent IVF failure I can't stress enough to get your levels checked!!
Thanks Melissa They haven't mentioned anything yet so will probably find out on Monday whether it will be natural or medicated, but at least it's nothing like a stim cycle..........over that. So I'm hoping a few will do well and then I've got a few goes before another stim cycle.
blossom - what are you doing today?
oneday - I hope there is nothing wrong and it's all a nervous feeling FX for you
trea - Congratulations on getting so far after soo long. You show us there is always hope.
jayejaye - how are you feeling today?
Trigger injection was far from nice. Def. the worst is saved till last. And now I can't think of anything other then Monday
Oneday - awwww , I don't mind in the slightest if you stick around. Hoping everything is fine but please remember that preggo symptoms do come and go so fx that is all your boobies are doing, a bit of cramping is normal too - uterus/ligaments stretching etc? When do you go for your scan? Chin up lovey, don't feel selfish - you are allowed to be scared.
Hi all
Want to do persies but right now only on phone. Kind of urgent question I have some cramping and sharpish pains on my right side. Then went to loo and there is brownish discharge. It is
11 days past opu and d&c. Is it Af? Should I be worried? Advice/opinions welcome!
Williever - i never had any injections with FET, just bloods to see when ovulating, but not sure if it will be the same for everyone?
Oneday - its a very confusing time. Make sure you get support from those around you!! You can do this!! Stay strong!
Mellisa - thanks for asking how i am!!! All good now!!
Nothing2lose - not sure what could be happening a perhaps call the nurse in the morning. If its brown blood, that means its old, so better than having bright red.
Hi to all others i may have missed!!
AFM, waiting for phonecall with fertilization results tomorrow. After the last two stim cycles, we only had two make it to blast each time, so one put back and one frozen. They said this time there was six really good size follies, so i am hoping at least 3 make it to blast, and we can freeze two. Dont want to get hopes up though. Transfer on thurs.
Best wishes to all you courageous girls!! Chin up and lets get it done!
Thanks ladies for the support, im feeling a bit more positive tonight. I did another POAS just to make sure it was still coming up which it would cause HCG can stay in the system for weeks but it made me feel better that the positive line came up straight away and is darker then the other line so im hoping this is a good sign and it wasn't first morning urine. I have my seven week scan next tuesday (the 1st march) so fingers crossed.
Ladies good luck with EPU, fertilisation and transfer my thoughts are with you all xxxxx
N2L i would call the nurse but like jayejay said brown is ment to be old blood. goodluck xxxx
Williever good luck for tomorrow it is strange we will be in the same time... I had a great day relaxing went to markets and beach and dinner with the family i hope you had a nice relaxing day too. Fingers crossed all goes well for you tomorrow
Melindaann big congrats to you that is such great news
Oneday glad you are feeling better this afternoon i know when i was pregnant it was such a weird feeling so surreal i just couldnt grasp it after so long of trying such a roller coaster ride this ivf journey
