No Transfer Today; OHSS; In Hospital
We did not do the embryo transfer. My OHSS is worse than expected. One of the nurses did an ultrasound on my belly and it was full of fluid. Dr. Allemand thought it best to have me admitted so that they can put a catheter in my belly to drain the fluid. I am situated with my IV and have been given two Loratab. I'm already feeling a little bit better, but am scared of the drain.
As of now, we have 4 AA, 4 AB, and 3 BA quality embryos. They said that we are a candidate for a single embryo transfer. I'm not sure when we'll be able to attempt the Frozen Embryo Transfer, but at least we have great quality embryos.
Your prayers are greatly appreciated. I've been in a lot of pain over the past few days and it all makes sense now. We're both obviously upset that our transfer didn't happen today, but we want the best for our future children. God is good all the time. As much as it hurts right now, I know that He has a plan for us.

YOu will feel so much better after the drain. Sorry that the transfer didnt happen today but what amazing embryos you have. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteOh no! Sorry you've been in pain but those are great grades fr your embryos!! Hopefully things will start looking up soon!
ReplyDeleteSorry you are in so much pain and that your transfer has been delayed. In effort to give you encouragement about your delay, my transfer was delayed 2 times and it turned out for the best (I'm 11 weeks now) and another good friend of mine had her transfer delayed after a botched ER and she just found out today that she is pregnant! God has a plan and it's going to be good... Praying you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOh no I had been waiting for you to post yesterday and when you hadn't I was afraid it was because of this. Take good care of yourself, you need to rest up for that transfer whenever it may happen. I have heard the ohss just about goes away when you get your period, hope that is the case!! Thinking of you...
ReplyDeleteWow - so many great embryos - you must be very proud parents! So sorry you are in so much pain. Praying you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteI love your attitude Court, it is the best that they had cancelled your transfer. I had mine cancelled on my first IVF on the day of transfer and I cried like a baby, I wanted that transfer so bad, but in reality, with that kind of fluid I had, and you are having, it is definitely the best thing. A lot of doctors also say that FET are more successful than fresh because they body is free from all those extra hormones. Take care, it will get better from here. They had me on Ganirelix to drop my estrogen levels, don't know anything about Loratab but it's probably doing the same thing. Congrats on those great embryos!! xo
ReplyDeleteYou really do have the best attitude about all of this. I'll be thinking about you as you try to recuperate. Hope you feel better soon!!
ReplyDeleteSending good vibes your way. I'm also a few weeks away from starting our IVF cycle and your posts have been immensely helpful in reminding me I'm not alone! I hope that you are learning and growing everyday - and I thank you for helping others learn and grow from your story.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Courtney about the OHSS. That is upsetting. :( I'll be thinking about and praying for you! But, it is GREAT news about your embryos! It's hard not having things go according to plan. I can't imagine how upset you must feel (let alone being in so much pain), but your faith sounds strong and I'm so glad you're able to move toward feeling better for now. Keep us posted... thinking about you!!
ReplyDeletePraying for a speedy recovery. Glad you have good embryos though!
ReplyDeleteoh no! Hope that the drain goes smoothly and that you get better soon.
ReplyDeleteHi I'm new to your blog, just wanted you to know I'll be adding you to my prayer list tonight. Get better!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm sorry you aren't feeling better and that you weren't able to do the transfer. I am *really* glad, though, that you are taking care of yourself so you can be as healthy as possible when they do the transfer. Hang in there and congrats on the fantastic embryos!
ReplyDeletePraying for you!!!! ...so happy to hear about your wonderful embryos! God's timing is PERFECT. I hope you feel better soon. Sending huge hugs your way.
ReplyDeletePraying!
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry that I'm so far behind on your news... you've been through so much and sorry to hear that you're in hospital :( I hope your OHSS starts to ease up soon. That is wonderful news about your embies... thinking of you and them and hope that you're united soon xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'll come visit you tomorrow (Tuesday) and give you some fluffin' up :) Text me if there's anything you need me to bring, I'll be leaving the house around 11:30 or so. <3
ReplyDeleteOh no! So sorry to hear that. Keep taking good care of yourself - your little embies will be there ready and waiting for when the time is right.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear. I'm so sorry things did not work out quite as you had hoped and expected. Hope you feel better soon. I'll be praying that, whenever you do the transfer, it gives you your happy ending (or beginning, however you look at it). Hang in there!
