fitzjr - sending all the positive energy I can!!

I posted a whole essay here and it's gone? UGH!!! I'll try to write again, I guess. Totally lame. Tammy - thanks :) Yesterday's numbers were from Day 8. Yeah, I'm assuming I've still got a ways, but I'll be right on your tail!! Also "outcome" - hysterical. Sher - WOOHOO!!! Preggers! Lauren - 17?! Lo...

Tammy - I'm on Day 8 now, but because it's my first cycle, they decided to take the slow and steady approach. I also have to do PGD, so I'm guessing by doing it this way, they thought they'd get more eggs considering half of them will be unusable due to a disorder. I'm wondering if they did a differ...

Lou - WOOHOO!!! It's TIME!!! Let us know how it goes. I'll be thinking of you. My doc prescribed valium for the e/r. Perhaps that's an option??

Had my appt this morning. 2 follicles at a little over 10 mm on the right with 4 more a little under 10 mm and 4 on the left under 10 mm. E2 of 435. What does all of this mean? It's good, right? I go in Thursday. I'm guessing I'm gonna be getting close to triggering then, no? What should I be doing ...

Amanda and Cakes - WOOHOO!! Lou - Sounds promising!! I'll be thinking of you. Oh! I meant to tell you that my DH is 6'4" and I'm 5'2", so I getthe whole difficulty in taking a pic thing. Other Lauren - YAY! I'll cross my finger for you. I go in tomorrow, so I may be not too far behind you! Chili - n...

Lou - How effing annoying about your RN's phone call. What is wrong with these people? Let us know how tomorrow morning goes! AFM - I have my next u/s, b/w on Monday morning after they upped my meds and claimed I was "right on track" whatever the hell that means. I'm getting deeper and deeper into c...

Franny - I read the previous posts and although I'm new, please know that I'm rooting for you and feel for you. Lauren - think POSITIVELY. Maybe it's different this time because this time it will WORK!! Didi - I might have to hop on the organization train. They've upped my dosages and now I don't k...

AAAAAAHHHHHH. I want to be in the know for me and for you guys but I know nothing about numbers and because of this, I'm now starting to seriously freak out. For instance, Lauren , I have no idea what your numbers mean. What should your E#2 number be I'm going in after stimming for 5 nights tomorrow...

um, are these side effects gonna get worse? i super don't feel well.

oy. Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis. I'm a premutation carrier for an x-linked disorder, so basically I have to go through some Gattica sh*t to have a kid. :) On day 3 the lab here in L.A. takes out a single cell from each of our embryos and sends them to a lab in NJ to be tested. On Day 5 we get ...

Lauren1171- really?! I feel like everyone I meet is named Lauren. Let me know how tomorrow goes. Good Luck!

Hi All, I'm completely new to not only this board, but to IVF. This is my first cycle and we're going for IVF with PGD between a doctor here in Los Angeles and ReproGenetics in NJ. I started my stims on Monday (decreased to 5 units of Lupron, 150 Gonal-f, and Menopur). I'm already nauseous and tired...
