Ugh..... well - doing an early POAS didn't make me feel any better. The plus side is it didn't make me feel any worse..... In fact, it was horribly inconclusive, but at least I felt like I was doing something.

At least my estrogen and progesterone levels were good.....I won't be crushed if it's a BFN, after all I decided that I'm going to do these FETs and IVFs until we're successful or can't afford it anymore. Whichever happens first..... but it would be awesome to end ...

So I’ve gone over the charts over and over. I’m pretty much sure I’m about 3 days from being able to POAS with any kind of accuracy. I already went to the pharmacy and bought 5 early response HPTs so I can test pretty much every day until my beta. I’m approximately 4 days since my transfer, and I know I shouldn’t be getting a positive yet. That being said, I looked in my guest bathroom and found an extra HPT lying around from my last cycle. So I tested. It wasn’t a early response test. I didn’t ...

Baby shower went okay. Very small. good food. So now since it is over, I can buy what I need and hubs is on board with it now. As for going off bedrest. I will be 36w1d, next thursday at my appt. I am going to ask OB to be induced ahead of time. Scott is working to much and we need an exact date for his work. So it can be scheduled off. ( I will have a fit, if something goes down and he would have to leave to fix it or supervise the fix. Yes, he has employees under him, but they seem to be messing ...

Just here blogging my thoughts... So DH and I are officially trying again. It's hard but hoping it will be worth it! I had to have an extensive D&C in August along with several large polyps removed. I was then started on Provera 10mg for 10 days to re-start my "natural cycle" if that's what you want to call it. I bled hard for 10 days and also took a round of Clomid 100mg (which i have been on in the past but anywho...) Started testing on day 10...on day 19 still no O so my doctor ...

So as I'm still sitting here cracked out in the middle of my 2WW on my FET cycle, I've been complaining that I don't have a lot of symptoms. My IVF cycle was painful to say the least. My ovaries got overstimulated, my ovaries shifted out of place, they extracted an insane number of eggs from me, we hit my sciatic nerve with the PIO shots, I spent two days in incredible pain, I felt constantly off, so it was a horrible cycle. But this FET cycle has been way too easy. Nothing hurt, there were no ...

Ugh, so I'm a little irked that I am not feeling more on this 2ww. Last time my uterus was dancing in all directions, but then again, that resulted in a BFN - so who knows. My boobs hurt like all hell when I take my bra off, but that's courtesy of the progesterone supplements.

Last night I felt my first twinge down there. Just a sharp sensation in my lower belly and then a flash of something on my lower back. Then it was gone. No idea if that was anything or something to get excited ...

I consider myself a very rational person, but here I am on my first FET after a failed IVF cycle and I’m 2 days into my 2WW…… Yes I confess, I’ve googled “early 2WW symptoms FET”. I’ve walked around my house very gently, keeping my feet flat on the ground to prevent too much up and down motion. I’ve hesitated to go up the stairs because I don’t want to disk squeezing my uterus. I’ve actually tried to breathe deeply and fight the urge to cough for fear of squeezing my little embryos out. I looked ...

Well..... a few thousand dollars later and I've paid to have 2 more eggs dropped my belly to hope for the best. This time I had a FET cycle instead of a IVF cycle and I definitely liked it better. I'm still nicknaming myself a fish because they got 44 eggs out of me. Initially I thought I got only 6 embryos and that 2 had died. Turns out only 1 died - which is awesome because it means I spent 1 egg on IVF, 2 eggs on this cycle, and still have 2 frozen embryos left. Then even better - I still have ...

Went to my ob/gyn on Oct 11th. She put me on provera and clomid. This will be my first round of medications used when ttc. I'm super nervous. Next month, 35 days from the end of my last period, I get to start the provera. Take it for 10 days, then take the clomid days 5-9 of my cycle. Then, use opks. This is all new to me. We've been ttc the "old fashioned way". I'm really hopeful that the pills work, since I've already conceived on my own once. Then, I have a fear of getting a bfp because ...
