Trying to get through the IVF 2ww
View Profile | |
|
Hello all,
I am fairly new here and am also in the 2ww. : ( I had 2 5 day embies transferred but they were not blastocysts yet. So, I dont know if it worked or not. My transfer was on the 25th and my test day is March 5th. So, I still have quite a while. Alot of you ladies are much stronger than I to hold out on HPT's as long as you have. I broke down and tested 2 days after the transfer. : ) Of course, it was negative but I just had to try it. I will not be doing another HPT until the 3rd.
I wish all you ladies the best on your tests!

Well ladies I had my beta today and BFP!!! I am so excited but I have been down this road before. I will be even more excited if results are good on Moday. My starting Beta is 168. Re said that is a great number. I hope it continues to rise. last time it never doubled and then stopped ending in m/c. I will keep my fingers crossed.
Welcome Natalie. The 2ww wait is tough but keep the faith

Debbie- Congrats! I knew it would be good. Your beta sounds great. I am so happy for you. I can't believe they are making you wait until Monday for a second beta. I thought they like to see the numbers double every 48 hours. I would think they would want to re-check on Friday. Anyway I am sure this is going to be it for you. Hopefully I will be joining you soon. Keep us updated. How are you feeling?

Hi Lyly- I just went this morning and if they had me go in 48hrs i would have to go to the only office that is open, which is far from home. So I am kinda glad Monday is when they told me to come back. I feel ok. My bbs are sore and I have some occassional heartburn. Not much nausea yet.
I will be praying for you in April. Before you know it it will be here and I know good things will happen. For now stay positive.
Do you know when they would usually have the first u/s. I forgot to ask and since I had so many mature follicles I can't help to wonder how many fertilized.

Debbie- Once your beta levels hit 2000 they can usually see something on the u/s. I think by 6 weeks they will probably do one, but each dr. is different. You should call and ask. Are you nervous about how many took? How would you feel about twins?

Hi ladies,
I officially started my 2ww. my transfer was on 2/27 and I'm back to work today. Felt like I could have easily stayed home, headache, bloated, kinda blah feeling. Then I remember if this works, I need my days for maternity leave and if it doesn't I need my days for more trips to doc ofc.
JasJulesmom,
congrats on your BFP!. When was your transfer?
Baby dust to all.

Debbie,
Congrats!!!!!! That is such good news.
Welcome Natalie, great support on this board.
I have been feeling so depressed lately, do you think it is from the clomid? Maybe its just I wanted better results this week and I am disappointed. I don't know how you ladies have done this month after month. I am a strong person so I know I can do it also. So I have a question though, I noticed a lot of women do not O until later in the cylce on clomid sometimes not until cd 19-24. I am only at cd17 and my dr. has already ruled out that I won't O based on u/s done on day 14. He wants me to do beta on Friday March 7th and based on the results start provera again on the 12th for 2nd cycle. I have been using the opk's everday since cd 10 and nothing has shown up. The u/s on cd14 showed eggs but not really big, there was about 5 of them though. I don't know how to feel about all of this, there is so much info. on the web its hard to figure it all out and know if your dr. is doing the right thing or not. I am seeing an OB/GYN abd not a RE. My dr, monitors with blood and u/s on clomid though. I have zero coverage for inferility and can't afford to do anything really expensive at this stage. Please pray for me and hope that the clomid works for me.
Thanks,
Gloria

Debbie,congrats!We'll pray it stays this way for you!
Gloria,I'm sorry,I'm no help with your situation-we did IVF and used different drugs,not clomid.Maybe someone knows more.Unfortunately most people don't have coverage for infertility and yes,it's very expensive.But in your situation you should see RE,not just regular OB-they just waste your time playing this kind of games,most of them didn't recive this type of training(infertility) and just try to experiment on you.And better if your doctor will be gynicologist-endocrinologist.

Gloria I agree with Marina. I started with Ob/gyn and he wasted I would say a year for us. I also started with clomid and so did a friend of mine. There were definite days of craziness and as re upped my dose the crazier I got. It has been known to cause those side affects.
My Insurance did not cover for IVF but did for IUI. I had to pay for meds out of pocket. RE visits were covered because they were considered a specialist under my plan.
I also had some follies with clomid, but they would grow and then stop. I never O on my own with clomid, it just was not powerful enough for me. So OPK is probably correct. You will probably not ovulate without help. The only thing that confuses me is the follies, true they will still be there next month, but as with me they will probably get smaller again. That is why I wondered why dr did not just up your dose and continue cycle??
Arabsrcool good luck and stay stong during 2ww. I did not have IVF I used gonal f and had an IUI.
Natalie how are you holding up?

Hi Girls
First of all congrats to Debbie on your BFP and good luck for your pregnancy. What a scary but exciting time for you.
Good luck Nat in your 2ww darl and that beta on the 3rd
Good luck to you too Arabsrcool on your 2ww.
Its a horrible time this 2ww. I had 2 blasties transferred on the 20/2 and beta is on Monday. I did 2 HPTs one yesterday and one the day before both were BFNs so lets just say I am not feeling very confident.
Well better go now good luck to all those girls waiting to be mummies

Hi Jasjulesmom
Yes I wonder were I get the strength to keep going but I wanna be a mum so bad.
I thought I would have given up after the first egg donor but I advertised and found a second one who was a young mum of 21. So I thought this would be it.
But after 2 negative HPTs its not looking good
I am prepared for bad news I guess.
Thanks darl and take of yourself
