PG/IVF Question

[stefgray 0]

Hi gang. I realize that I'm probably jumping the gun here a bit and that I really only need someone to tell me to take a deep breath and chill out! Here's my story (sorry it's so long).

Got pregnant through IVF in May 2004. All was well until October 2004 when I suffered an incomplete cervix. My son was born at 22 weeks and died very soon after birth. We did another embryo transfer (from the same lot as our Declan) in spring of 2005, but no luck. So, we waited. I had my band surgery in May 2007 and, after losing and losing and losing, decided to do another transfer. We still had two embryos cryopreserved from Declan's lot, so we transferred them this past Sunday. The dr. was very pleased with the quality of the embryos and has high hopes that we'll get PG from this transfer.

My question is this (mostly for anyone who has gotten PG from IVF transfers). Yesterday (Thursday), I was queasy all day. I've been sleeping a lot and am noticing that I'm slightly sensitive to smells. Does anyone think it's remotely possible that my hormones have started acting crazy at this early stage of the game? The dr. states that embryos generally implant 48 - 96 hours after transfer, so if they did implant, it seems to me that it could be a good sign.

Or, is it in my head???

Thanks.

Steph

Well honey I can tell you that I knew I was pregnant right away when I went through IUI... It so happens that I am now carring twins... so good luck! Do you feel different than last time?

I was a lot like you with my IVF, however I can't tell you how much of it might be real and how much in your head. But one thing to think about is that if it has implanted your body will be reacting to it, and you could be sensitive to it. I don't want to get your hopes up, I have been there. Good news I was pregnant and I knew it right away no matter what the Dr says! Good luck to you!

Congrats on the twins. I am a compulsive tester, so of course, I tested last Tuesday night. And, no shock, it was negative. So, it was grounding to say the least! I have been queasy for a week now and my emotions are starting to skyrocket. But, otherwise, am trying to stay calm and not test again. I go for blood test on Monday.

Thanks for the encouragement!

I did not test positive until day 9... so keep your fingers crossed... Baby dust to you!

stefgray,

If you're on luteal support (pregesterone pessaries or HCG injections) then the nausea might be from that. That's not to say you're not pregnant though, but it may explain the symptoms.

Good luck for your test on Monday!

Morning everyone. Just wanted to close this loop and let you know that my test was negative. Guess it was the medicine (and a lot of head stuff) making me think I could possibly be pregnant this time. Thanks so much for all of your well wishes (and baby dust!). Best to all of you who are pg now...hope all goes well for you. See you on the other band pages. Steph
