Awesome April 2ww & TTC thread [emoji120]

Gafan - Are you doing E4D??

[ABC.2606]

Thank you! You're probably right. I had to have ovulated normally after my first IVF cycle based on my pregnancy. It must have been that damn estrace from the FET

And now I'm having menstrual like cramps on CD18. I'm scared AF is just going to come early and I won't ovulate at all I have intense ovulation usually but this is something else!

Have you had AF yet since your chemical? I started AF on April 1 - 23 days after D&C - and I'm pretty sure I didn't ovulate before it started. I swear all these hormones and miscarriages (and in your case - all the FET stuff) really seems to screw things up.

Only one RE has agreed that its hyperfertility -- it's still a controversial/new diagnosis! But yes, our official prognosis ven after IVF was "keep trying until one sticks." In our case, it's about getting that one good sperm since DH's sperm are messed up

I keep joking that I must have soft boiled eggs -- they keep letting the first sperm to make it in, I've joked, when we know now the first sperm to get to the egg are NOT the god ones but the ones meant to crack open the shell :P

Yea I did a little quick research on it - sounds like it's very new and not something most doctors would know or care about. At my ultrasound yesterday my RE basically said she's run all the tests she can and so if this last one (DH's chromosomes) comes back normal then it's just "bad luck". Doesn't make me feel great about trying again if I'm just going to have "bad luck" over and over! You and I may be in the somewhat of the same boat then - just trying each month, getting pregnant, and having to wait for awhile to see if we actually got a good egg or not!!! LOL, even my OBGYN (at my 7 week ultrasound in February where I found out I had most likely miscarried) got frustrated and said "we just need one to stick, dammit!!" Made me laugh in what was obviously a bad situation!!

One thing I saw when I did quick research on it is that baby aspirin and progesterone after O are recommended as possible treatments. Are you doing those? I have progesterone vaginal capsules still (doc prescribed them when I had my first m/c). I'm really thinking of doing both from here on out - I just don't want to do nothing. My OB also wants me to do baby aspirin (but the RE is against it - gotta love conflicting advice!).

Gafan it's impossible to say if that spike is o related or not as we have no previous chart for comparison to know where your temp range is pre and post o. I would think it unlikely you've oed though. Is the 6pm test the top pic? Looks like your line is getting stronger if it is so hopefully your surge is coming in!

These are things are fertility clinic reccomends with ivf too. I am stopping my progesterone tonight as I am 11 weeks now. I've been taking baby asprin and progesterone shots since before transfer.

I haven't had AF since the bleeding that was my chemical -- but I also am super regular and usually ovulate normally after a loss. It's a symptom of the hyperfertility supposedly! I even had my periods back with exclusive breastfeeding 5 weeks after DD was born and was pregnant at 3 months PP! Which is why this happening now of all times is stressing me out!

I totally forgot to reply to your other point earlier -- you totally have a chance for a girl! Granted I did an EXTREME LE lifestyle to get one apparently, but I am such a quintessential boy mom all around that I always try to tell people if I can get a girl, they can! The great irony is that I wanted a boy so bad but didn't know about swaying If I had just eaten I probably would have had my boy

I've done both but still had losses. In my case, aspirin doesn't matter since it's not a clotting issue and my lining is "beautiful" as I've ben told lol. I've heard progesterone makes the uterus "choosier" for us hyperfertiles, but I've still gotten BFPs doing that (even with my transfer of abnormal embryos!). Though I have noticed I lose them quicker with progesterone (versus most of my non progesterone losses, where I make it to 6-8 weeks before losing).

I'm telling you -- it's not just the egg! The sperm is 50% of the equation :P And whereas the egg can actually correct and fix things to am extent, a bad sperm is a bad sperm as I've learned

TP - Yea I ovulated normally with my first two losses and started AF 24-25 days after the bleeding started which is the exact length of my normal cycles. And yup - I was BF-ing DS2 (not exclusively b/c I have a crappy milk supply) and AF came either 4 weeks or 6 weeks after he was born. I forget exactly when, but it was quick. My cycles are sooooo clockwork - even all the swaying, dieting, losing weight didn't throw them off at all! Nuts. It all sounds like hyperfertility. I really don't know much about DH's sperm though - he did have a SA in October in which all was "normal" (high sperm count actually) but is that telling us enough about his sperm health?

Well - maybe if AF comes soon then things will go back to normal on the next cycle!! I know what you're still facing with DH's sperm but I'm hoping you're able to try again soon and that you can get some good answers on DH!! The waiting around just sucks

Mamabird - yea I think I'm just going to try both. I'll tell my OBGYN I'm going to do it - maybe not the RE though since she doesn't seem to approve

I've never heard of adenomyosis before!! Do the doctors think it could cause issues during your pregnancy? Things seem to be going great so far though & I'll keep praying it continues to go well!! I saw that you had some other tests that went well! Was that the nuchal fold/ blood work type of test?

It’s quite uncommon and not much research on it here in the uk I did google then quickly stopped because I did see some scary things relating to pregnancy but I’ll keep postitive!!
Yes was the nt and Edwards test was freaking out because I’m travelling abroad and thought I wouldn’t get my letter in time, luckily I did!

Have you heard back with your results yet abc? Or was it hubbys you were waiting for? Sorry if I missed the post! X

I'm in panic. I'm sick with some respiratory virus these few days with pretty bad cough, and today the soreness of breasts has gone, and I feel different. Could this be normal?
