Kushka and Deftonesmo- How did it go toady?? You should both be PUPO right now!!!

AFM- Retrieved 6, only had 2 fertilize. Pretty disappointed. We were really hoping to tranfer 3. We really want twins. It can still happen, but the odds continue to not work in our favor. We are 100% cash pay, so this ...

Sunshine- I am an endo girl as well. I started feeling crampy on Follistim about day 3. Continued the whole time. Sorry. It didn't really get bad until last two days before ER. You should have seen me slumped over on shopping cart at grocery store! I swear a 95 year old passed me I was so slow. My ...

Deftsonemo_ Exciting! The shot is a piece of cake, but you will probably be a little sore in that area for a few days. Something in the HCG leaves you tender. You are getting close to the big day! Good luck!!! Wishing you the very best! :lol:

Okay, I am feeling better after doing some more reading. It seems like we are all in the same boat. It's quality, not quantity, right? We should all begin repeating, "I ONLY NEED ONE!"

Abogenphol, Kushka and Saunagrl: I am so happy to have you guys on here in the same boat. :) It has been a ...

Just got home from ER. Very weepy. I was told 15 follicles at last U/S. Was hoping for 10 eggs, and they only got 6. I hope that is enough, and now I am totally upset that I won't have any to freeze. I know that people have less, so I know it can happen, but news was still hard to hear. Had total ...

Got the word that I will trigger tomorrow night (as long as bloodwork in AM is all good)! That makes ER Sunday. That makes me feel good. Ready to get the show on the road, my right ovary is very uncomfortable.

Dont give up! There is always a chance. Trust that there is a higher power, whichever one you believe in. He has a plan. I think right now you need to wait until Friday and get new results. It is amazing how quickly things change in this process. The most important thing is that you keep you PMA ...
