Hi ladies,
This is my first time on DS. I recently finished my first IVF cycle with PGD. I had four embryos but after the PGD it was determined that only one was healthy, a little girl. The waiting has been torture and yesterday we got a BFN. I've been so discouraged.
I have had 6 miscarriages over the past four years and have one beautiful little son who is 2 and half. It seems most likely that I have many eggs with chromosome abnormalities - we knew that was the case for sure with two of the babies.
I will start my second round of IVF in July. Anyone else?
This journey has been so long, and with so much grief. I don't want to do this alone anymore or hide my miscarriages.
I'm so glad there is a place like this online.

babysteps-Best of luck on your transfer tomorrow. Prayers coming your way!
Well I am waiting for AF to start...impatiently waiting that is. I should start anytime. I think I went to the bathroom 8 times today during the work day to see if I started. I have never wanted to start my period so bad. I got home from work and noticed some spotting..I actually got crazy excited...this is a first in my lifetime I got excited about spotting...I just want this show on the road. Praying full AF starts tonight so I can call tomorrow to set up my baseline u/s and bloodwork. If everything goes well I will start GonalF on Saturday. Not looking fwd to 3 shots a day but it gets me one step closer.
I must say the highlight of my day is gettng on here and checking everyones progress. I pray each one of us gets BFP.
Kelly - congrats on the shots! I take daily Lovenox shots now, and the icing definitely helps. Sorry you're having such strong side effects...I wish I had some advice, but unfortunately I haven't had that reaction before. Big hug though
Babysteps - I heard the same thing about no difference between and 2 and 3 day transfer. How many are going to be transferred? Good luck!!!!!!!! xoxoxoxo
Road - Thank you for the friend request!
Erin - Thank you for sharing your history....I admire your strenght at moving forward. I know when you want a child there is no other choice, but it is still difficult.
GCin, JA and anyone in the 2WW I forgot - We're one day closer!!!
Karen - I hope AF starts asap!
Countingdown - when is your next beta?
xoxo
hoping to have some left over to freeze also if they make it. fingers crossed
Many prayers going out to all of you for each stage you are at.
KellyC- hang in there this too shall pass
Babysteps- Congrats on your transfer, now i pray for your sanity during the 2ww. Go baby go!! Cheering that embry on.
Karan- i hated waiting for AF ... I wanted it early and thought more sex would do it ... Lol silly me :0)
Kelly- congrats on doing shots!... I have 9 more days and ill be doing shots...scarey!
Laurie-hey!! Lol ... By the way I love your thinking .. Kudos to you for staying strong not to test before time... How much longer before beta?
As for me... Well im living in a state of misery the birth control has my horomones out of wack so much I can hardly stand it. So my question to all of you is how horomonal should I expect to be? Will they make me wacked out? Truely concerned about this
GC - How are you doing in the 2 ww so far? I hope it's not already driving you crazy. I'm usually ok with the 1st week of it but starting around day 7, it starts driving me crazy.
Kelly - yay for starting stims! Now your cycle will move much faster. Good luck with your ultrasound today - hope you have lots of follies to start with.
Babysteps - congrats on your transfer! Hope you're embies is making itself a nice new home!
Nae - I did an agonist cycle for my first IVF with a bcp start. I can very honestly say the bcp was the worst part. I had very sore breast, persistent cramps, bloating etc.. on the bcp. Once I started Lupron, it all went away and I didn't react badly to any of the other meds. Hope you'll have the same experience and this will be the worste part for you too.
Laurie - ignorant bliss is wonderful - wish I could have done but I've never been able to get there; instead I'm a poas daily (sometimes twice daily) kind of girl. Happy for you though - when does the 2ww end? I wish you so much luck!
Erin - good luck on the shots!!
Roadfullofhope - welcome back. Where are you in the process?
As for me, waiting for my next beta on Friday. Still testing like crazy and the line is still there and hasn't gotten lighter - yesterday it did seem darker; this morning it seems the same. I'm starting to feel a bit more confident since it's still there. Can't wait for my beta on Friday.
PRaying for BFP for EVERYONE!!!
Hugs
Kelly- I think 3 is pretty good... Lets just keep thinking happy thoughts. Those 3 follicles know their job and that may be all you need to get quality eggs from :0)
Karan- soo happy AF started for you... Now the show can get started :0)
Countingdown- I hope your right..,these emotions are sickening lol
Nae - I just have a superstition....the two times I waited to test I was pregnant.....any other time I didn't wait, I got a BFN. I hope I can hold out this time! And we're lucky to have you here! You have a great energy :-)
Kelly, I hope you're having a better reaction to meds :-( And don't be disappointed at the folli count. You really can't tell too much from early reads. You have a great start and you still have plenty of time for more folli's to pop up
Countingdown, so awesome the line is getting darker! Once I get a BFP, I test all the time too, lol. Its just nice to see the positive
I had a pretty good day.....I'm feeling rather at peace with everything...I just want the next few days to fly by so I can test already, lol
Congrats to everyone with BFP!
Praying and sending positive thoughts to all of you that are in your 2ww! I know this is the longest 2 weeks of your life.
Good luck to everyone who is still taking their meds! This journey has so many ups and downs.
Welcome Hoping4baby!! you have come to the right place.. all the girls here are wonderful.
Laurie - hoping the next few days go fast for you!
As for me, my tummy is getting more and more sore as the days go on after egg pick up (as my doctor said it would)... its bearable at the moment, but hope it doesn't get too much worse. I also still have my rib pain (it has improved a little over the past day though thankfully), but I really am feeling like I have been thru a clothes dryer! lol
Laurie - I'm rather peaceful about this as well. I keep thinking, what will be, will be. This might be the longest 2ww ever, but I'll survive. I can officially allow myself to test in one week.
Countingdown - YOU...ARE...PREGNANT!!!! WHOO-HOOOOOOO
Hoping - Welcome. You're in the right place.
Babysteps - I hope you feel better soon. ER can really be hard for some people. Take it easy.
Kelly - I had super crappy reactions to my shots this go round. My tummy was so itchy towards the last few days. Luckily once I stopped injecting it was better. Grow, follies, grow!!!
As for me, I'm not feeling preggers (lol) but i wasn't really expecting to feel that way. Just taking each day at a time. Very bloated, constipated and a bit cramp. And I'm not ruling out my imagination either. I may have had a bit of pink implantation spotting yesterday (it was very slight). FINGERS CROSSED, PRAYERS SAID.
