About Me
I'm 37 and have been happily married since Sept. 2002. Ivan is truly my companion in life. Our TTC journey has felt like a never ending roller coaster ride. We had an ectopic PG in Dec. 04 and in April 05 found out my IF is due to tubal abnormality. We were told IVF was our only hope. July 05 we did IVF # 1 and it was a chemical PG. We did IVF # 2 in Oct. 05 and it was a BFN. In Jan. 06 we did a combined fresh and frozen embryo transfer and it was a BFN. We were determined not to give up our dream of having a baby. IVF # 4 was in April 06. The cycle worked like a charm and on December 20, 2006 we were blessed with Hannah and Matthew. |
Saturday, May 06, 2006 4 more days to go
Today is 6dp5dt. I find out on Wed. if it worked....I'm so nervous. I actually go on Monday for my 1st beta and on Wed for the 2nd. SIRM does not give you the results of the 1st beta, which they use as a baseline. I will get a call on Wed with both results. I can't believe they do that...don't they know how hard it is to wait. Of course I will be testing before that. I did a test on Wed to make sure the hCG from the trigger shot was out of my system....was so happy when I saw the -. I wanted to test this morning but I woke up 2-3x last night to use the bathroom so FMU was impossible.
I went on Wed. to see Dr. S because my pain was getting worse. The pain is from hyperstimulating. He didn't do an u/s because he didn't want to do any poking since implantation would have been on Tuesday. He is hopeful that it worked. Yesterday I finally started to feel some relief from the pain and the bloating is starting to go down. I'm huge from the bloating. I look about 5 months PG and I gained so much weight this cycle. The dexamethasone gives me the munchies and you all know how much I love junk food. My bum is already reacting to the PIO. Dr. S gave me a prescription for Crinone and I got it but read how it can cause birth defects if taken during early pregnancy. I went online and got more info on that. Of course now I'm having second thoughts about taking it and may just deal with the soreness from the PIO. I found out that we have 6 snowbabies!!!!! If for some reason this doesn't work we will definitely do FET. This was definitely my last fresh IVF. It was so painful after the ER. Usually I'm back to normal activities right away but not this time. The following day I was still in pain. I've read that when you've cycled a lot your body takes more time to heal, especially your ovaries. I'm trying to have a positive attitude. This was a great cycle and all I can do is hope that it worked. We've already had the "what if it didn't work" conversation. [It's always good to have a Plan B.] It's hard to give up and we don't want to but are willing to do 1-2 FETs and then it's time to discuss other options. Hopefully we won't have to go down that road. Wish Wed. was here already. 26 Comments:
