My nurse said if I don't get AF by Dec. 2 that I will have to wait a month due to the holidays. I hope that doesn't happen and my AF is right on time. She said the earliest my FET would be is Dec. 13th. They will also be transferring 3 embryos this time too. I hope that increases my odds slightly. She said after a failed IVF they will transfer 3 for a FET and also for my age group.

everythingcrossed, YAY you made it through the retrieval. That's the hardest part in my opinion. Except for the 2ww that is...lol. I hope everything goes great for you tomorrow. STICK STICK STICK!!

Sorry so short on the personals, I should prolly get back to work. Take care everybody!! Hugs!

BABY DUST

hey tracyb!!!! I was wondering how your FET cycle is so short? Mine is between 5-6 weeks. I should be getting my at the end of November (like the 28th to the 30th ) and my transfer would be the first or second week in January. I do 2 weeks of birth control, then lupron, then 2 shots intramuscular (progesterone and something else I forget the name right now) then the transfer. I was just wondering how yours is so fast? Lucky dog!!! :-)

Good Luck to everyone. This waiting STINKS! But we are all very used to waiting!!! (insert dramatic sigh)

Is this the right thread for me? My FET is tenativly scheduled for Dec 15. Or should I be in a December thread? I didn't see one of those. Anyway I begin acupunture tomorrow. I am not doing lupron or bcp since my fsh is so high. I start estrace on Nov. 27 and then hopefully start PIO Dec. 11 with the transfer hopefully on Dec. 15. My fresh cycle was with DE and resulted in a chemical. We have 3 embryos frozen and will thaw all of them and transfer all that survive the thaw. We are also doing assisted hatching. this time brings success.

On another note, they guy in the next cube from me at work is ready to have a baby with his wife very soon. The due date was this past Tuesday. I am super excited for him! He is so nervous and anxious for everything to happen. It makes me wonder how my DH will be when we have a baby. Sometimes I will be sad listening to people in his cube talk about it all but then I realize that I am going to be one of those people too and it gets me excited to get started.

I hope we all have a BFP! We deserve it so much. Plus it's Christmas time and what a perfect way to start the New Year!

Positive vibes to you all and lots of baby dust too!

Hey TracyB!!!! Transfer Buddy!! I am on BC pills right now, I take my last one tomorrow, and I have another sono on the 24th (and I'll probably start a mini-period that day too)... then I start the Vivelle patches on the 25th. I don't have any more monitoring after that until 12/7. Seems like a long time inbetween to me, but I guess that's correct!?!?! Lots of luck and baby dust!!

If you are going to be having a this December, then this is the thread for you!!! We are going to be the most successful "little thread that could" ever!!!

My FET is also going to be sometime the week of Dec 14th. Wonder why so many of you have an exact date for the FET and my clinic only gives me a "week timeframe"??? Looks like you and TracyB and myself will all be receiving our Christmas baby(ies) around the same time. That also means we'll be doing the two week wait together!!!Yay! Are you both stick pee-ers??? I am... I just can't help myself!

tomorrow is the day!

So, my transfer is tomorrow at 11:30am. I'm likely to transfer 3 as the last one was also 3 and I got preggers with a singleton. May this one stick and STAY

Thanks Stillwaiting for adding everyone else - I do love being on a thread with such wonderful strong women! My first time on a thread and its just so great..so many positive vibes from people who really know what this is all like - the waiting, the praying, the crazy drug induced and stress induced moods ..lol - you all know what I'm talking about. Its a good day today so here is hoping for tomorrow!

keep well everyone.
Martha

Hi Ladies!

EverythingCrossed! Good luck with your transfer today. Lots of baby vibes coming your way right now since your transfer is in 5 minutes from now!! How exciting!

Butterfly13, welcome to the thread. We are tranfer buddies too with Tryinhard and we are all getting BFP's on this thread!

hoping2010, I suppose every clinic is different. My clinic doesn't do the BCP's at all and I am not doing Lupron. I'm just doing the Gonal F, trigger, and of course progesterone and estradiol when it's time. I'm not sure but hopefully everything works the same way. Maybe everyone has a specially taylored cycle just for them and yours is just perfect for you. The best comes to those who wait so hang in there!

Stll waiting - great lining measurement! seems you still have to wait a while however until Dec 4th for transfer? Will they move it up if your numbers are good?

Butterfly - welcome
thanks for the wellwishes Tracey B - right on time for good vibes

My transfer went well today and we put in 3 again (almost switched to 2 but RE suggested 3 again because of my age and getting a singleton last time). The three they put in are all 8 cell embies, 2 of them rated as 1's (A) and one a 2 (B)...YAY. so PUPO with tripplets
Only two other eggs were worth freezing (the others dropped off) - one is a 9cell quality 1 (a) and the other is an 8 cell quality 2 (b) - really good for me!

Well, I'm officially in the 2ww with my beta planned on Dec 4th! Still wiating I hope this is a "lucky day" for us both

take care everyone!

everythingcrossed, I'm so happy the transfer went as planned and now you are officially PUPO with triplets. You are getting me so anxious for my cycle to begin. Try to enjoy your 2ww and think lots of baby thoughts!

StillWaiting410, Your lining and E2 levels are looking great! Keep it up! You will be PUPO before you know it.

Gosh I feel like I'm the only one without anything happening yet. But like I said, mine is a pretty fast cycle once it starts. I can't wait to have a baby! We want a family so bad. I know that every single one of us on here is wanting that very same thing too! This board is great and I'm so thankful to have all of you to go through this with me since we are keeping this a total secret this time. Hugs and sticky vibes to you all!

Everythingcrossed – PUPO with triplets! Hope they like turkey!


This is what happens in a 3dt :


1dpt ..embryo is growing and developing
2dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
3dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
4dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
5dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
6dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
7dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &
fetal cells
8dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
9dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
10dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
11dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on
HPT


This is what happens in a 5dt


0dpt... Embryo is now a blastocyst
1dpt....Blastocyst hatches out of shell on this day
2dpt.. Blastocyst attaches to a site on the uterine lining
3dpt.. Implantation begins,as the blastocyst begins to bury in the lining
4dpt.. Implantation process continues and morula buries deeper in the lining
5dpt.. Morula is completely inmplanted in the lining and has placenta cells &

fetal cells
6dpt...Placenta cells begin to secret HCG in the blood
7dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
8dpt...More HCG is produced as fetus develops
9dpt...HCG levels are now high enough to be immediately detected on
HPT



Tracy – Waiting is the hardest part of the IF game. When do things really start moving for you. I know you had the super quick schedule we were all asking about. Lesss than a month to go!!!


Robynanne – Hope everything looks great for your appt tomorrow. I go on Tues to make sure things aren’t progressing too quickly.Let us know what RE says.
