For the new folk, my first IVF failed but resulted in 10 beautiful snowbabies (6 grade A, 4 grade B). We are moving on to FET #1 in April.
UPDATE #1: My nurse called yesterday with my auto immune results (drum roll, please): NEGATIVE. My feelings? Mixed. Mostly, I'm happy that we're not dealing with any added drama but it makes our "perfect cycle with imperfect results" even more frustrating. BTW you guys are right...I can't dwell on what went wrong but as the results keep coming, my mind starts to wander a wee bit.
UPDATE #2: FET #1 meds have been ordered. If all goes according to plan, we're looking at $3,127 (transfer + meds) for this round.
UPDATE #3: Our FET would have been April 7th but is now scheduled for April 23rd. Apparently REs go on vacation too (LAME). Though I'm disappointed it's a little over 5 weeks away, I find peace in the certainty of April 23rd. It's such a different feeling than going through a fresh cycle. Oh, and my RE's frozen stats are higher than fresh. Strange? Perhaps. I'm not complaining.
UPDATE #4: I signed up for Cristy's Sock Exchange. I need all of the fertility hope I can get...even in the form of socks. Check it out and join us. The deadline is March 21st. I can't wait for my new socks!! Thanks Cristy.
These are all good updates! You are absolutely right you can't dwell on the past. You must look forward taking one day at a time. What do meds for FET consist of?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kelly. My only meds are Lupron, E2 patches and PIO. Not too shabby!
DeleteNot at all! By now, we are all pros with shots!
DeleteMy FET is in April too :) I'm already on the Lupron and BCP. I really thought the FET would take less time. But all we can do is wait. Hopefully we have better luck this time around! I signed up for the Sock Exchange too!!
ReplyDeleteHi there, Lola! Just catching up on your blog. Happy belated birthday. I'm glad I have an April FET buddy. Goodness yes, hopefully April will be our month. Maybe I'll get your socks or you'll get mine. How exciting! Thanks for the comment. I'll be cheering for you!
DeleteI would love the certainty of a specific date too. I'm about to start IVF #1 and I really appreciate reading your experience!
ReplyDeleteIVF #1? How exciting!!! Thanks so much for reading.
DeleteApril is right around the corner!
ReplyDeleteThank God.
DeleteGood updates, even though I know it's tough not having answers! I hope your wait goes quickly. I love the sock exchange idea, and I think I'll join as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks KH! Hope you joined in on the exchange.
DeleteFYI I hate you for getting a spring break....spring break sounds fantastic! I am glad all your results came back negative, but I definitely see how it sucks too, sucks to be in that unexplained realm where nobody can give you answers.Yay for an April FET (mine always took 5-6 weeks too because of lab timing, drove me crazy). But April 23rd sounds like a great date. And my last cycle was the first with socks...and first that worked.....I'm all about the socks :). Good luck!!!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that your first sock cycle worked...that's AWESOME. Hopefully, the same will be true for me :)
DeleteGlad to hear you got some answers! It is mixed emotions because we just want to know why it didn't work...
ReplyDeleteWe're in the process of getting all of our info for our FET so reading your experience is nice. Hoping this is your BFP!
I signed up for the sock exchange too!
Hooray for socks! Glad you joined. Here's to hoping the socks bring BFPs for both of us! I'm terribly heartbroken about your BFN but I'm glad some of my stories have been helpful. I'm just thrilled we both have snowbabies. How lucky are we?!?
