The update..(4dp5t)

Yesterday i felt some good cramping while at work and my bbs are not constantly sore but ill get waves of soreness...my bbs never really hurt with jack either.

Today same thing about the boobs and some slight twinching...sometimes is more like a period like crampiness...like it deep inside and im about to start a flow any second which is associate with a slight ache in my back.

Im exhausted today but that could be from the progesterone and the fact i just worked 2 days in a row and my kid has ecided not to sleep anymore.

Also had some nausea today...who knows...

FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Nothing really happening..

Ok i know its only been 3 days since my transfer but i think implanatation should have happened yesterday...so im hoping ill start feeling something...soon.

Im def. bloated, i got some booby pains but nothing major and im concentrating so hard on my uterus i dont know if the slight twinges are actually my imagination. Yesterday i had a pretty queasy belly but i think its too soon for that to be a "real" symptom.

UG!! Please let this work.

On a good note my Progesterone was actually high enough at 36.6!

FINGERS CROSSED!!!

and the obsession begins...

OK ive said before im superstitious about verbalizing my symptoms and how im feeling out loud and i use this blog as my outlet.

So the transfer was yesterday and on the way to drop Jack off at my moms', the poor things threw up all over himself and Petes car :( We had to pull over on the side of the road and do a full out wardrobe change in the rain! Jack seemed fine and was singing "rwan rwan go a way" lol. He was fine the rest of the day.

Anyways we get there and we wait for a good half hour and i seriously thought my bladder was going to burst, i could literally feel my bladder pulsate it was so full (and i even emptied a bit 3 times). The girl next to us fianlly came out of the transfer room and i heard her say she felt the valium kick in, so i knew she had a tough time, poor thing. I dont care about the transfer the egg retrieval is much more stressful for me since it entails an IV.

So i go into the room and Dr. B was there (he did my transfer in oct.) I knew he was going to say negative things about my embryos and he did. My hatching blast looked "excellent" but my blast "wasnt great" and my 3rd was "just a morula". But i dont care. My last transfer was of 2 "excellent" hatching blasts and it didnt work so what going to stick is going to stick no matter what.

It was the fastest tranfer. ever. I layed down the put the catheter right in, grabbed the embryos, checked my name and DOB, pointed to the screen and in they went. It took maybe 2 minutes.

I rested that whole day and even took a good 2 hour nap - which was needed since Jack was up all night with nightmares ( i know, poor thing!). I def felt crampy the day of the transfer. I also felt pretty calm. Ive accpeted i cant control this...whats gonna be is gonna be and theres nothing i can do but keep trying. I guess im numb to it.

Today i lounged until 3pm. Then took a shower and went up to get Jack. Cooked dinner and tried to take it easy for the remainder of the night. Tomorrow is my prog check an im hoping its in the normal range since im on 2cc of Prog. And then im back to work...UG!

Today my bbs felt somewhat heavy and sore...but that could be the Prog. Im still feeling some crampiness but nothing too noticeable.

Its gonna be a long 8 days...

Now we wait...

About 5 hours ago i became pregnant (until proven otherwise) with triplets GIRLS!!!

Dr. P called me this morning to tell me we were going to transfer:

1 hatching blast,

a blast (which i guess didnt look "great")

and a morula.

The 4th one (the boy) was also a morula. They are going to reevaluate the boy tomorrow and if it makes it to a blast they are going to freeze him.

So it wasnt an A+ transfer but my last one was and we know how that ended...

Im hopeful and staying positive. :)

Surreal!

I have done 5 cycles of IVF/PGD and the most "healthy" i have ever had was 2.

well today i got the call that i have:

FOUR!!!

I.am.in.shock.

And another crazy tid-bit is out of all my healthy embryos i have had one healthy girl and six boys...

Today i have:

3 GIRLS and 1 boy! NUTS!

So the plan is to transfer the 3 best ones. Dr. P is going to call me in the a.m. and let me know how they look and the genders around 8am. Transfer time is 950am.

Dr. P called me at 5pm and when she told me i had four my first reaction was "what am i going to do with 4?!?" lol

Egg Retrieval

It wasnt so bad...

We got there at 7am and i got called in about 720. They went through the admit stuff, Dr. F looked me over and anesthia. I got my Valium and looked at the clock very impatently for 20 minutes while they did the first ER. The Valium def helped relax me and the wrapped my arms up in warm towels. When it was time for the IV she got in on the first try (YAY!). She also gave me Zofran (anti nausea med) so i would puke on the way home (which worked). So all in all everything went well.

Really well since i got 20 EGGS!!! I couldnt believe it! Im super psyched and hoping i have 10-12 embryos make it to the growing stages and hopefully get 3 normals! I call tomorrow at 2 to find out the progress.

FINGERS CROSSED!!!!

Got my wish!

My e2 came back 2017 so they let me trigger last night at 815pm. I go in at 7:00am tomorrow. With 19 measurable follicles im hoping for a good 12 eggs.

Dr. P wont be able to do my surgery but hopefully she can do my transfer.

Jack will be at my moms for a few days so i can heal. Im gonna miss him like crazy!!

Enough already!

Still about 26 follicles (they didnt give me the less then 12 number) but all 19 are still measuring and i have 16 mature (the other 3 are 12, 13.5, and a 14.5). My doc doesnt want to trigger until i get to day 10 (today) or lead follicle of 22 (im at a 21). I requested to trigger tonight since i dont want to develop OHSS again or overcook these eggs!

waiting and seeing...

u/s#3

WOW - 26 follicles, 19 measurable, 11 mature! E2 is 1557.

This is the most ive ever gotten out of these ovaries! I have 10 on my right and 9 on my left (measurable) curious as to what happens tomorrow. My biggest is a 20.5, im pretty sure ill be at a 22 by tomorrow and we will trigger!

Hoping for three healthy!

u/s#2

My ovaries have been busy! I have 21 follicles, 13 measurable, with 4 mature. My biggest one is a 16 with 3 others btw 15 and 15.5. It seems the are all growing together which is good.

My E2 was 787 which is the higher then the previous 2 cycles.

Going back tomorrow am for another check.

FINGERS CROSSED!!

u/s #1

We got 14 follicles. None are measurable and my e2 is 326 (102, 180). Im hoping that this means ill stim longer and get a good amount of awesome quality eggs.

I go back friday for another check. Im bloated and my ovaries are really sore.

First e2 level

114!!

im happy with that since last cycle it was 76 (which is fine) but im hoping for 1-2 more mature eggs this time around. I had 7 mature last time so im hoping for a good 9 that are good quality. Im not doing acupuncture this time just cause it just "one more thing" and i just dont have the opportuity to really go since im working the next 2 days. I just really want to ignore this cycle as much as i can!

I def feel things working in there. Im hoping to get to monday for egg retrieval so i dont have to take sunday off and to get 9 days of stims in.

Im going back wed. for bloodwork and an ultrasound.

FINGERS CROSSED!!!

Finally Stimming..

It wasnt an easy process to get to this point! As i updated last i had 2 ovarian cysts. This past wednesday the 7th i went in for another baseline to check on them and get another e2 level. The cyst on my left side was gone but the one on my right was now measuring 3.1cm (was 2.5). SO after waiting all day to hear what they were going to do about it, i got the phone call at 4pm telling me i needed surgery to drain it.. the NEXT DAY! My e2 was 161 (down from 329).

So thursday comes and they recheck the cyst before the sugery and it is now 3.3cm...which i guess is pretty big. Ok so the surgery doesnt bother me...i dont mind the anesthia and going to sleep..its the dam IV! It took them 4-5 attempts and after the 3rd try i needed valium because i was shaking and crying. I push everything aside to just get through this all (the shots, the procudeures, the simple fact i even have to go through this, other people getting pregnant and having babies that shouldnt, the stupid comments people make, seeing my kid lonely ect., ect.) so when something doesnt go right ALL of that is lifted and i have a hard time...so i took the valium.

IV is finally in and we get down to business. They drained 30cc of fluid of the cyst which i guess is alot. I had no pain when i woke up just itchiness. So they gave me 50mg benedryl and i was ZONKED! Then my BP dropped and they had to give me a Bolus of fluid. Nothing is easy. I just wanted to go home and i think i must have said that 500 times lol.

So the next day i had to go back and get another e2 drawn. I got my period the day of the surgery so i was hopeful we'd be able to get the show on the road! My e2 was 67 so we were good to go. Today is day 3 of stims and tomorrow morning i go in for bloodowork to see how we are doing in there.

After all this i deserve a nice healthy 37 weeker(s)!! Fingers crossed!!
