IVF JOURNEY

Wooaa!! I am able to officially say “ I am pregnant!”

I Entered in second trimester last week and I feel great! We decided new dr to deliver our baby and went to 12weeks check up.

She is super! Totally normal and everything looked great and we heard strong heartbeat too❤️

Nothing makes me happier than listening my baby’s heartbeat ❤️

Dr suggested me to control my diet well and will see her in a month. Because we did PGD for our embryo dr said we can skip for the Down syndrome generic test. So no ultrasound for next time.

I think until 20some weeks for baby’s organs check up I won’t have any ultrasound.. so in a month and half or so..

My belly is starting to show and nothing makes me happier to be able to carry her for 6 more month with me!

I went to the clinic with my husband on 23rd of August.. we had been waiting for 22days till possibly see our baby...

And there our baby was!!!!!!!!!!

We even could heat the little tiny heartbeat 💗 I’m so relieved to be able to see the baby... but still I don have a placenta yet so keep taking medication till the next appointment in 2 weeks.

If everything is looking good in 2 weeks I will graduate the fertility clinic and off of medicine..

I went see the Dr the 1st of august for blood test...

266.67 mUI HCG level in my blood :)

I think my embryo decided to implant there in my belly!!!

Now almost for 2weeks post transfer and starting to having tender breast, some cramps and heartburn but other than that I am totally normal.

If this pregnancy goes normal the baby’s does would be the beginning of April.

Now the waiting time comes to see the baby..

My next appointment to see( hopefully) the baby is 8/23...it will be around 7 weeks or so..

I was having dream about doing early pregnancy test every single nite and sometimes woke me up....

This morning, I had 3 different dreams about getting negative tests😭😭😭😭

So when I woke up I decided to do the test. I only had one left and will expired end of this month so it meant to be testing today!

And............

I got super faint line!!!!!!!! First when I was waiting I couldn’t see nothing so I was about to cry but when it was almost time to finish.. the line has appeared😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

I know I shouldn’t be excited yet but can’t stop being excited to see this line!! I was waiting and waiting and waiting for almost2 years to see this line again!

Now.... I just wait to get by beta on 1st of August.

I think my embryo is trying so hard for us to stuck in my Belly! Gracias gracias gracias!

It’s been for 3 days after FET...

Of course I don have any symptoms haha I’m having little bit of cramps every once a while but I think that was a just side effect of the FET..

Still I’m not allow to do pregnancy test I think.. I am thinking to do the early test on Sunday or Monday to see if its staying there.. I need to think the next plan early as possible too..

Today, transfers my frozen healthy embryo!

Ended up we only had 1 healthy embryo and today they put my baby back in my belly!

Waiting time is 8 days....... now I am having a little bit of cramps but except that I am totally normal.

Ok now... it's time for me to rest!

I was taking birth control and last Sunday on7/7/19 I got my second period after the egg retrieval.

I called my dr and asked if I needed to keep continue taking BC but she told me we r going to do different treatment.. so I went to see the dr on Tuesday.

Actually the resault of PGD test was there....

We only have ONE healthy one. The paper didn’t say the grade or whatever but only ONE healthy one and only ONE chance...

It made me sad of course. It made me cry of course. Why? Dr said we have at least one healthy one!! So don be Sad! But why it’s so difficult?? I’ve been working hard. Why? So frustrating but I can’t do anything anymore. We have one healthy embryo. Just hoping to this little baby will stick in my uterus! Pls pls pls. I’m ready to welcome you to our family!

I have started to take medications called primogyn 2mg.. I don know how long o have to take but for now untill 18th when I have to go see dr again.

For now just need to relax and have to accept the fact we only have one healthy embryo. And maybe have to think about next cycle..my husband is ready to keep going if this baby decided not to come to us.

I just got text from our Dr. and we got 4 embryos! So relieved. Of course we wanted to get more but probably we had totall 8 mature eggs or so and 4 of them are good enough to do the PGD test.

Now we just have to wait for 8weeks to get resault.

Hopefully we will get good grade embryos.

9!

I feel nauseous a bit so just write it down how many eggs we could get!

Ok now jus waiting for the doctors text how many of them fertilize and become embryos..

I went to see doctor yesterday and today. I continued to give injections same doces until today.

She decided to do egg retrieval on Thursday so I just gave the Ovidrel at 9:30pm.

The egg retrieval will be on Thursday at 9:00am.

It seemed like from today’s ultrasound I have at least 8eggs to be able to retrieval.. but like last time it may ovulate earlier than the day of the retrieval.

They will unfreeze the eggs (4 mature eggs)from previous retrieval.

Just hoping we will get SOME embryos..

Actually getting more nervous this time.

I went to see a doctor yesterday to see how my eggs are doing.

It seems like I have more folicles than last time. The new medications are working more slowly than before I guess.. and not much bloating yet. I think I like it these better.

And from today I have to give Cetrotide to prevent to ovulate.

My doctor is assuming the egg retrieval date would be next Friday or Saturday. I’m hoping that will be on Saturday..but wait and we need to ask our nanny to come.. hmm...

Well.. we will figure something out.

Today, I went to see a doctor to check my follicles.

It seems like I have more follicles than before. I I i god a Go sign. good to start this 2nd cycle of stimulations!

Injections Injections Injections...

This cycle my doctor changed my medications. She said we will try something different than last time.

Ok. I’m fine with that. This cycle I have to apply..

Merapur 75IU x 4 per day

Saizen 0.05 per day

I just purchased for 5days and it costed me $13000 MXN. I think it’s a little cheaper than the last medications. I don remember exactly but seems like it.

My husband is coming back on Saturday so after he comes back I will ask him to give me Injections. So that i fee like I’m not doing this alone.

Hopefully we will get more eggs this cycle! Our fingers are crossed and being crossed until getting some embryos!!!

After taking birth control for 21 days and stop taking for 3 days my period has come today.

I contacted to my doctor and I am going to see her tmr to see if I have enough follicles to grow to start second cycle of stimulations.

If everything looks good I will start giving myself injections again......

My husband went out of town today but coming back this Saturday so he will be here for next painful egg retrieval.

Just came back from 3 weeks trip to the US.

While traveling I had my period started on 4/22/2019 after 11days of egg retrieval.

So that some of my eggs ovulated earlier than that date I think..

I have been taking birth control since 4/25 and it will finish on 5/15.

Probably Next my period will come around 5/18-20.

We will do the stimulations again for the second cycle and hopefully get more eggs to make more embryos.

My husband will be away when I will start the stimulations but most importantly he needs to be here for the egg retrieval day.

It still hurts.. better than last nite( I couldn’t sleep much..)

My ovaries are still bigger than usual and trying to adjust or whatever now.. so that it’s hurting..

This pain is like right after when I had my daughter. When My uterus was trying to ni back to the normal size it gave me a lot of pain...now my ovaries are trying to do same thing. It hurts and I’m not sure I can handle this pain again but I’m gonna have to in a little over a month.

Egg retrieval day

Ok. 6 eggs... there was 9-10 but i guess some of them are ovulated or still small?? I don know.

I got 6 but we don know we can freeze them all. They will let me know how many of them are mature sometime later today. Ok.

After I got home it’s starting to hurt my stomach... I’m laying down and took medicine but still hurts.

It didn’t hurt so I walked home for like 25 minutes. Maybe that was a bad idea??hmm

Anyway I will wait for my period now and after welcoming my period I will be on birth control again and will start stimulations.

For now..I will rest a bit more. Thank god we have nanny to look after my daughter...and my husband will come home tmr EARLY morning.
