Hi All!

Sorry I've been off the boards with my updates it's been a crazy roller coaster week. On Tues., my day 7 of stims, my RE called to say that I had to trigger b/c my E2 was already 3000! Luckily, I had 15 follies raring and ready to go. Wed I felt like crap all day-backache city. So yesterday ...

SD-Praying for you. Keep your chin up.

Hi Shay,
It sounds like ur RE is on top of things. I agree with the girls about not overdoing the H20. No more than 6-8 glasses or you could flood ur system. I was told to mix with Gatorade. Best advice anyone gave was to dbl chk with ur RE. My personal experience has been the more I limit my salt ...

Hi Shay,
I've been keeping busy today so I'm late jumping on. I went to the beach to get so mental relaxation-clear the mind. I went to do my first post stim U/S this am. I'm moving quickly myself. 18 follies so far. U have an excellent number. No cause for concern. Y low salt? Just to keep ur OHSS ...

Shay that's awesome! They'll probably try to slow u dwn so ur eggs can play catch up. I'll keep u in prayer with the OHSS. You'll be fine. Remember to take it easy on the salt or maybe go no salt for now if u can manage. Eat a lot of raw veggies like spinach and broccoli salads, snow peas, and ...

Oh! Shaymama I'm stimming with 150 iu of Menopur in the am and 225 of Follistim in the pm. I forgot to mention I've had minor headaches and back tenderness as well. It's okay though.

BTW SD, love ur PMA!

Hey Shaymama,
Hope all goes well at ur US today. From what I've read every IVF cycle is unique. I just didn't remember feeling this good by SD 3-4. I have been super tired this time around. Yesterday, as I lft for work I told my DH all I could think about was coming back home so I could go back to ...

Thought I'd share this woman's IVF blog eith u gals. Check it out it's amazing. Happened within the last month. She had 60 follicles at one point. Ended up with a nasty bout of OHSS. Her story is heroic and you'll never imagine how many fertilized. Read for yourself.

Hi Everyone,

Tina-Marie welcome. Good luck.

SD, how are things going?

Shaymama, I'm on day 3 of stims. How are you feeling? I'm having dull back aches but not feeling very bloated yet. Anyone can answer...how should I be feeling by now? Been a while since I did a IVF cycle and I don't remember ...

Hi all,
Started shots today. Finally getting this show on the road. Thanks for all the welcomes. Shaymamma, looks like we're on the same track!
Good luck to all the ladies who got their AF's (that's like the only abbrev I know, so I'm showing off a bit) lol
Praying for a good outcome. Already feel ...

Hi all!
I'm new to this site. I'm suppose to start stims this week. If not, I'll be starting at the end of this month. Happy to join in the "fun".
Can anyone tell me where to find a list for all the standard abbreviations you all use?
Happy cycling girls!
