Anyone cycling right now? IVF

Sue- so sorry! Don't give up yet. You may always wonder what if if you don't use your last attempt. Maybe take a 1-2 month break and give it one more shot. For now take care of yourself and drink some wonderful wine tonight!

I'm sorry to hear you got bad news. Having gone through 2 unsuccessful IUIs and 2 unsuccessful IVFs myself (currently on 3rd) I know how you feel. I too have wonderful insurance which definitely helps. I have low AMH, so last two IVFS I only had 2 make it to day 5 and transfer. After each one, my husband and I have said "no more", but here we are again, hoping for a better outcome. I'm so sorry, but give you self some time before you decide to throw in the towel. -tat

Thanks, Tat. You're right, not a good day to make decisions.
Brighter, warmer days ARE ahead, though.

Kat here...

Sue, I am so sorry. I agree with Tat, though...give yourself some time before you make any decisions.

I triggered late last night for an ER tomorrow. Lots of follies, so a little uncomfortable now and just looking forward to having the retrieval over...so nervous about it, which I know is just silly! We've decided to do a freeze all cycle, if we have anything make it to blast, so the retrieval tomorrow will be it for me for two months or so. Honestly, I'm looking forward to a break from the intensity of it all!

Kay here- sue- I find that I need some time and distance to gain some perspective. Maybe take some time to recover and heal and then make a decision? You are in my thoughts.

Kat- how did the egg retrieval go? How are you feeling? Fingers crossed for you!

As for me, they transferred to embryos yesterday. I'm having a bit of back pain and I don't know what it's from. I'm trying to stay hydrated.

Did you have a 3 or 5 day transfer?

Kat- how did it go with ER?

ER went great! Anesthesia was nowhere near what I had feared. 24 retrieved. We are doing a freeze all cycle.

Emma here -- Sue, I am so sorry. I know from experience it doesn't get any easier and in fact gets harder to deal with Hang in there. You seem like a very positive person and I'm sure whatever you decide going forward is what's best for you. But as others have said, take some time before deciding what to do. And do something this weekend to splurge or pamper yourself. You deserve it.

As for my cycle, it's progressing very slowly. It's Day 10 for me and my nurse thinks I'll be stimming until at least Monday. And they are upping my dosing so I had to get more meds overnighted to me. I only have 5 measurable follies right now and they are still on the small side. Nothing I can do put keep stimming and waiting. I just really hope they don't cancel this cycle due to poor response.

Sending positive thoughts to you all!

Okay, Sue here. Thank you for your kind thoughts.

So I have some news. And I'm a little bit embarrassed by this -- I am DEFINITELY a cautionary tale for POAS too early. In my defense, I had some significant spotting, and thought my period had started, which is how my last round of IVF ended. I tested Tuesday morning and it was negative. Then I tested again Wednesday and it was still negative. But the spotting stopped and I definitely didn't have my period.

I thought for sure when I posted here that it was negative, but I went in for the official test yesterday, Thursday. The RE's office called in the afternoon and said they'd had some calibration problems with their testing equipment, and that they were uncertain about my beta number (75). I had to go back in this morning for a second test, and they had me do a HPT at home last night. I took a wondfro and my husband brought home a FRER from CVS. Both were positive.

I'll know more this afternoon once they have updated results. It might be chemical, but even if it is, that's as far as I've gotten in two years of this! Never once had a positive test, ever. Not even a squinter until now.

Holy roller coaster ride this week!

Nureern, are you still in the 2ww?

Sue that's great news! Keeping you in prayers!

AFM: Its another disappointing news :,( got a BFN. I think we are officially done. No more $ for ivf. I wish blue cross blue shield covers IVF. We have done 3ivf and few FET and out all that we got nothing! Maybe no kid in future... It's hard to think like that but at this point I feel i like there NO more hope . I think we just need to keep living our life and enjoy each other. I'm so tired of all the disappointment!!

Good luck to everyone here! Wishing you all your dreams come true!

Oh Nureen, I'm so sorry. As the other posters told me, give it a couple of weeks. Options you never thought of might begin to emerge.

A big hug to you.

Hugs Nureen!

Thinking of you Sue. How are you doing?

I'm doing well! I'd love to hear from others.

Beta is on the rise. I'll have more information Monday. Kind of blown away by it all, to be honest. I'm having to think about things I never let myself consider before, just to protect myself.
