Thursday Hurry Up!!

I feel like all I do anymore is freaking wait!! I havent cycled since mid November and havent made it to a transfer since August. I have my appt with my RE on Thursday to talk about how he is going to overload me on estrogen and hope my uncooperative piece of crap uterus will play nice and let us make a baby. I sure hope 2013 is better to me than last year. I was with a RE the entire year and only made it to one IUI and one transfer from my IVF, and I cycled almost every month. All the other cycles were cancelled. I dont know whats worse, getting a BFN or not getting the chance to get either one. We learned some things about my body which is good. I dont ovulate, DOR, low AMH, MTHFR, and lining and fluid issues with my uterus. So now that we know all of these things hopefully we can make some magic happen and get us a baby this year. Ill know on Thursday if I officialy become a Polar Bear, holy moly I hope so. Im pretty sure this is a rant, so thanks for listening. Good luck ladies and have a great week!

Im going to ask him about it. He already had me on the patch and estrogen oral 3x day and vaginal 2x day so Im not sure how much more you can get out of those 2 drugs. Im not excited about adding another shot to lovenox and PIO but hell whats one more right. I just want it to work.

Why no frosties? Is there a problem with your egg quality? How old are you, how many will you put back? My frosties are 2 blasts and one thats just ok, I dont know the grade. Its not the best of numbers compared to other women but for me I was ok with it. And it only takes one, I got my BFP off one of those but the pissed off gnome in my uterus said, " do not pass go or collect $200" so I lost it. But he's gettting eveicted this time with a whole lot of estrogen, I hope.

I'm 38, AMH 0.28 a year ago, AFC 7 a year ago. The hope is to get 1 or, if we're lucky, 2 blasts to transfer. We'll probably do just a 3dt because it won't be a matter of waiting until day 5 to pick the best ones, it will be just putting in whatever we get, if we get them. IF sucks donkey balls.

Yes, get that gnome out of there! So you are doing an FET this cycle?

Man that sucks. Im not in quite as bad of shape with my AMH as you are but Im also 26. My AMH was 1.4 a year ago but by the time Im 38 Ill have the same number as you if not lower. Is this your first IVF? How have you responded to other cycles? Sometimes your body will surprise you and give you a extra one or two follies to work with. I also stimmed the whole 14 days as to where a lot of women it seems go much less, but thats the shitty part of being a low responder.

Yes we are doing a FET this go round. I only put in one at a time so we will have one blast and one ok one left. I havent decided yet if this doesnt work if Ill put the last 2 in at the same time or just not use the ok one at all. DH and I really dont want twins but I hate to just not use it. Owell cross that bridge when I get there. I couldnt agree more, IF sucks big hairy goat balls. Its the hardest thing I have ever been through and Ive been through a lot. The waiting is the hardest part, probably because you do so much of it.

You said you are scared of cancelled cycles. They are awful for sure I wont deny it. But I dont know whats worse, a cancelled cycle or a BFN from a cycle. On one hand you never even got the chance for it to work but then again you didnt spend two weeks working yourself up hoping for a BFP.  Either way it blows.

I hope your FET works this time! Sounds like you have a pretty good shot, I'll have my fingers crossed!

This is my first IVF, but I did 4 medicated cycles with femara and I got anywhere from 1 to 3 follicles each time so I'm hoping with MAX stims, that I'll get more than that. If there's less than 4 or so, I'm sure we'll probably cancel ER and convert to IUI. And yeah since they're doing max stims, we really only have this one shot, I dont' think they have any other tricks up their sleeves if I don't respond. But who knows. I'm trying to stay positive! I did get pregnant on my own a year ago, after our RE told us we had about a 1% chance of conceiving on our own!

I think you might do better than you think. I did 2 injectable cycles for IUI and had crappy response. Both times I only had one follie and the first time we couldnt get it past a 16 so it was cancelled.

I dont understand why I see some RE's cancel for 4 follies. My whole stims process we only saw 4 then at retreival found 2 extra, but he was still willing to go foraward with IVF with only 4. It only takes one to be a rockstar. I would rather have 4 retrieved and do IVF than lower my chances and do a IUI. But thats jsut my opinion.

Yeah that's a good point. Well, hopefully we'll get a whole bunch of eggs and it won't be an issue! But if we only get a few and I have to make a decision I'll be relying on y'all to give me some advice!

That's cool that they 'found' two more. I guess they can't always see everything on the ultrasound? When they found my fibroids on ultrasound, they said there were 6 or 7, but when they did surgery they found 26. Crying

Here's to hoping we both break out of here soon!

I just have to say I love your spicey attitude! Good luck! :D


My (old) BLOG: www.ivfbabyquest.wordpress.com

Natural PG 9/27/11; MC at 8wks. Used Cytotec to expel: 1/20/12 (unpleasant)
First RE visit: 8/8/12, Saline Sonogram: 8/28/12(4cm unknown mass in upper left of uterus) 2nd Saline Sonogram: 10/2/12 (mass disappeared!) IVF injection class: 10/11/12
IVF #1: 10/17/12 Baseline: FSH- 9.4, E2- 24, LH- 3.7, Progesterone- 0.3. 6 follicles in my right ovary & 9 in my left. Rx: 150 Bravelle & 150 Menopur SQ in AM. 10/21/12: Add Ganirelix SQ in PM. 10/26/12: hCG Trigger IM. ER 10/28/12: 13R, 7M, 6F. 5 Made it to PGS. ET 11/2/12: CANCELED. PGS: All 5 have "severe abnormalities." Devastated. Begged RE for back-to-back IVFs; Started Provera 11/2/12. AF said FU and came anyway, destroying any chance for a Dec IVF. Maxed out lifetime IF meds insurance. I can barely breathe, waiting to get through this process, hoping for my take-home-baby.

RE recommends we stop trying and focus on living childless, due to the repeated extremely poor quality of my eggs. I don't even know what to do with that.
IVF #3- NEW RE! 100% OOP: 3/1/13 Baseline: FSH- 9.6, E2- 61, Progesterone- 0.94, 3 follicles in my right ovary & 4 in my left.

No DE or adoption for us, FIRM.
That’s it for us. I am beyond devastated and have no idea how to proceed from here. My life has been forever altered by this experience. Best wishes to all in their journeys!
