I did IVF this month and I test on Nov 2... and I am going frantic. Every twinge I feel!

I did the same thing. Just try not to think about it (I know it is hard b/c you can't stop thinking about it with the twinges). Are you on bedrest? I will say a prayer for you. I hope you get kicked off this website soon :) Keep us posted.

DH!

I've been waiting on the other thread for you to let us know when you did the E/R! When did you do the E/T? How many eggs? Quality? Divisions? Tell me everything!

I had my 2nd round of HCG tests today. Hopefully they will still say I'm still pg and I'll get to go in the week of Nov 14th (or a little sooner) for my first u/s. That's when I'll be very very nervous. They didn't see the fetal pole then. My prayers say it will be there this time!

So let's see....if you have your blood draw on Nov 1, then I'm guessing you've had your E/T ....today???

-stacey

i had me E/T on Tuesday... my blood doesn't get drawn until Nov 2nd.

i had 12 eggs, 10 good ones, 8 fertilized and hatched successfully - 3 were transfered 5 were frozen.

i've been really scared

Those stats sound great so far!!! Of the 8 that fertilized, did you doc tell you where they fell in the A/B/C or Level 1/II/III categories? And how many divisions did the ones that were transfered have??

You got one more egg frozen than I do! That sounds soooo great!!!!!

I can't wait to hear your results next week. I will stay on the boards to find out!!!!!!!!

-stacey

I was told that they will only freeze level A eggs. i live in europe so they never told me secifically what level or grad but i do know they ones that were transfered were all blastocyts. I don't know how many divisions there were but I got pictures of them
I will ask the next time i go in.

Blastocysts are a 5 day transfer. They will divide more than a 3 day. I had 3 day. They divide them here in the States according to how well they divide. If they divide perfectly (each cell divides equally) than you get an A egg, not so perfectly (some cells spit out (for lack of a better term) a tiiny cell in addition to the equal division) and you get B eggs. If there is little symetry to the divisions, then a C egg is what you have. I only had B grade eggs. My doctor told me most woman don't even produce A eggs, and most of his babies are from B eggs. Which made me feel better. And quite frankly, should make you feel FANTASTIC knowing that few women have A eggs!!!! You did great girl!!!

Just a few more days!

WOW thanks! That makes me feel good but I going to be sure when I see the dr. again to ask about the level they were!

ONE WEEK LEFT and i think i am going to go CRAZY - about once a day i get these feelings like AF is coming but then it stop. i just can't tell .. i hate the 2ww!!!!!!

did they give you progesterone? I felt the same way before my blood tests! And even now and then I still feel like AF is here. I spoke to my nurse about that. She asked if I had constipation (you can get that from the progesterone). I said, yea, off and on (I'm trying to eat more fiber and drink lots of water to ward it off). She said that the bowels will push against the uterus when they are blocked/full giving you that AF feeling. And sure enough....I noticed that when I didn't have any constipation problems (sorry this is TMI), I didn't have the AF issues.

I'm feeling better these days. I freaked this past weekend when I found blood again. But it has stopped. And I feel better. Won't know anything until next Friday (11/4) at my first u/s.

wow. that explains a lot... i will eat more fiber to see if that will help.
it seems that every time i do have a bm lately it hurts and it's hard. so i bet youre right. i will overload on water and fiber.

thanks for the tip.

one week to go!

I tried the metamusil fiber cookies. they are palatable. Also apples and dark leafy greens!! and lots and lots of water.

Wednesday is around the corner!

i am feeling as if AF is coming BUT no spotting or bleeding. Is is too early to take a EPT? it's monday - wednesday is two days away.

when was the E/R and E/T??

If tomorrow is just about when your period is/was due, then you can. But I don't suggest it. I took EPT and it was neg, but the blood tests were pos. the directions say you can take this one up to 4 days before your period is due. But you only have 2 more days left! Hold in there!

qt - how are you feeling these days? when do you go for your u/s?

I'm going on Thursday now. Having some possible gyno problems. It started hurting when I used the progesterone suppositories. I was scheduled to go in on Friday, but they want to see me sooner now. It will be a gyno exam and an ultrasound. I just want good news!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it!!!!! I'm pregnant!!!! I will go next Fri for an u/s!!!!!

I was going to wait for Stacey (QT) to be the first to congratulate you, because I know she has been patiently waiting for this news...but I just couldn't do it. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! I am soooo happy for you! YIIIIPPPPPEEEEE!!!!!

Baby Dust to ALL!!

Hi, i just found this site and would like to share my experiences with others in the same boat as me,and hopefully give as well as receive support.I am also having the agony of waiting until the 11th Nov to do a hcg test to see if my recent egg implanation was successful.It was my 1st cycle of IVF and of the 6 eggs collected,only one fertilized,so everything is depending our single egg.My
husband and I spent 4 years trying and failing to conceive and I am now 40.Good Luck to all you ladies out there,and keep fingers crossed for me too.
