If anyone is interested, I  just finished reading a book about the TWW. It was easy to read, funny, and accurately summed up how I was feeling with my fresh transfer. It was nice to take a break from the endless googling.

Hello there. Is there anyone know about getting 3d baby scan at a date with baby (website https://adatewithbaby.com/)? Does anyone have any previous experience how quality is their service? any help much appreciated! p.s. the company is in Toronto

[melissa87]

Tomorrow is my day 1! Im really excited!

[Strawberrypeaches]

Wish you all the best! I'm picking up my superfact tommorow. I'm cautiously looking forward to it, trying to tamper my expectations

[melissa87]

Thanks! And I know what you mean about cautiously being optimistic! I am that way too ! Good luck to you as well!

Day 1 for IVF? Is this your first time?

[BabyforQ]

Melissa87 - so exciting!! Whats your protocol leading up to your transfer?

Strawberrypeaches - how long will you have to take suprefact? Is it similar to Lupron? I started Lupron last cycle and continue until I add prometrium. It also acts to down regulate and stop you from ovulating.

AFM - I FINALLY got AF yesterday, so will go in Monday for my baseline and start estradiol and continue Lupron until lining check on June 21. Transfer will be on June 29 or 30. Woohoo!!

Superfact is Buserilin, I am doing one I injection a day rather than the 5x a day nasal spray. I start that on day 21 of this cycle, then once AF begins in about 2 weeks I'll continue with the superfact and add estrace (Estradiol) in increasing doses until about day 15-20 when(if) my lining is good then I'll begin progesterone and stop superfact. FET will be about 5 days after progesterone starts.

For the progesterone I have the choice to do all injections or a combo of the suppositories/injections. Not sure yet what I'll do.

This is the only embryo we have frozen so I'm really nervous. It took us a long time to save the $ for our first cycle.

[BabyforQ]

Thats super similar to what Im doing with Lupron. Started on day 22 and will continue until I start prometrium. This is the first time Ive tried this protocol, its a much longer process! Will be about 5.5 weeks of meds before transfer.

[melissa87]

No for my FET. Ha no. Ive done 2 full retrievals. My first FET worked but since DD Ive had three cancelled transfers because of fluid, surgery to correct my fluid. Two failed transfers. But 3rd times a charm. I did have a hysterscopy last month and have finally corrected a uti issue I had during my fails. So Im definitely more prepared physically.

Ill do estrace and progesterone and whatever else they tell me! Ill probably do a matrix too.

[Strawberrypeaches]

What is a matrix?

[melissa87]

Its a test they do before the transfer to see how receptive your uterus is . It doesnt gaurentee the transfer is successful . I had a good Matrix in April and failed the transfer. But If your score is too low it is good because then your transfer is cancelled. The doctors then know to change your protocol for next time.

I hope everyone is doing well! I go for my FET on Friday. Hopefully it's good news. But if not plan B will be to try an IUI.

My ERA came back good and I have been taking estrace and started PIO on Sunday. My ultrasound on Saturday looked great with a triple line and my lining was .9

[melissa87]

My lining isnt triple but its 1.1cm they cancelled my cycle and told me this just happens so I hope in a few weeks when I get my period it will be better

[BabyforQ]

Great news Xalo! Hope everything goes as planned and youre able to transfer.

Melissa - sounds like you have a great lining, but its too bad its not triple. Is the plan to transfer in July?

I go for my lining check on Monday. If all looks good, my transfer will be June 29. Been on Lupron which can thin the lining, so we will see. Been taking 8 mg of estrace and eating lots of soy and flax. Fingers crossed! I tend to have a thinner lining generally (7mm - sometimes 8)

[melissa87]

Good luck!

BabyforQ yes thats the plan. I really hope its just fine again and this just happens

[Xalo3]

Good Luck BabyforQ!

I hope you are able to transfer soon Melissa!

I did my transfer today. Fingers crossed. Now I can overanalyze everything for 12 days . It was a day 5 3bc that they weren't able to test. We will see what happens. But we are planning on just doing an IUI if it doesn't work.

[BabyforQ]

Congrats on being PUPO Xalo3! How are you feeling? What day is your beta? Funny how clinics all have varying times they test after a transfer. At my first clinic it was 14 days, my new clinic it is 9.

 

My lining check on Monday went great and they said it was 8mm and looked amazing (hooray!) I have my last injection of lupron tonight, intralipid infusion tomorrow, start CPP protocol Sunday and then go for my transfer on Tuesday, June 29. I think my beta will be on July 8.

[Xalo3]

BabyforQ I hope things went great for you last week and you get good news soon! How are you feeling?

Things didn't go well for me but I have my FU this week and I'm hoping my Dr will let me do an IUI. I had a feeling it wouldn't work but I'm thinking positive for an IUI even tho I know they typically have less of a chance of working. That being said my body is stubborn so an IUI might just work

[BabyforQ]

Hi Xalo, Im so sorry it didnt work out. Its such a rollercoaster!! If your heart is telling you to try and IUI, you should! Theres always a chance it could work - its far more affordable and not as hard on the body. I conceived my DD doing IUI in 2015 - so I know it can work

Ive been good. I have my beta tomorrow - so we shall see! Ive been a lot more relaxed following this transfer. Think its a combination of releasing expectations and being on vacay.
