Well it's a negative for me. The results came back Fri afternoon followed by lots of cramps and heavy period to add fuel to the fire. This has been a difficult weekend and it is upsetting that we had none to freeze. Thanks everyone and good luck. We are not sure of our next options yet. Too soon ...

Losing my mind waiting! I impatiently did a HPT on Mon-NEG & again today Wed-NEG. Trying not to lose hope and hold it together. It is SO hard to. I know it could still be too early. I had my transfer 8 days ago. Need to wait until Friday 8a for the official labwork. I am dying!!! This is awful. I ...

Angram, Congrats about the 1 bean growing well! Sorry to hear about the other twin not making it. Just keep thinking happy thoughts! Did they check your progesterone level again? Is it ok? How are you liking the gel? The ring is ok so far...just kinda gross that it stays up there for a week at a ...

Hi everybody! Was trying to take it easy after the ET on Tues. Went pretty well. We were set on putting back just 2, but we had one 8, two 5, and the other 2 were only 2-3, so we decided to put back 3 for better odds. So now we wait. Feeling bloated and nauseated, the progesterone I am sure ...

Hi everybody! Thanks for all your thoughts! The ER went pretty well, retrieved 14 eggs, had lots of cramps and was nauseated. My poor DH, he has been such a trooper! He also had to deal with a loud hallway while he was doing his thing before the surgery. We went back today and only 5 fertilized with ...

Woo-hoo on the 12-wk mark! You'll be smooth sailing now! Plus the house! Exciting but stressful I am sure.
I am getting anxious now...so I am trying to relax as best I can. My mom came over last night to give me the hcg shot. Not bad! I thought the stims were worse. It is so nice now to have a free ...

Hi there! Well I finally get to trigger tonight. Woo-hoo! :D The ER is for Sat am and then we'll do a 3-d ET. So glad to not be stimming anymore. I have a new respect for any of you who have suffered through many ivfs. My E2 level went up again, but the study coordinator said as long as it was under ...

Hey everybody! Glad all is coasting along well with everyone. Angram-your progesterone level is fine...perhaps you'll be able to get off it sooner since your body is producing enough. I understand about wigging over the lab values. The stims were going ok for the first few days then my e2 was too ...

Hooray! Congrats!

Thanks angram for your advice. My AF started on Thur, woo-hoo and now I have a head cold. Fun times. I go for labwork and ultrasound on Tues then start stims and doxy on Wed. Getting there. My poor husband is being a trooper. I had a meltdown yesterday because yet another friend of mine is pregnant ...

Hi ladies! I haven't taken BCPs in years so I am clueless and anxious to start my period....go figure! I started the lupron last Wed and took my last BCP on Sat night. Do you know when I should start? I surely thought Mon/Tue but now that Tue is up, I am getting frustrated. Also, usually about a ...

Hi ladies! Sorry to butt-in, been reading posts and learning lots! I am in the study as well, just start my AF last night (of course during the holidays!) it came early. I put a call in to the coordinator here in FL because I need to get my labs drawn for FSH/E2 Monday. Do you guys know the effects ...

Thanks for the info I will check it out. My husband went today to see Bonnie and I go back on Friday for my saline ultrasound. I'll be sure to talk to you in cyberspace. Take care....

Hi there! Wanting to join in your DB. I too have started with the progesterone ring study. I live in FL. This is my 1st time doing any of this because my RE suggested that as "unknown infertility" we would benefit by jumping to IVF to be cost effective and the % to be better then IUI. Quite nervous ...

Hi Melissa,
I too am in the study (pending all my labs go ok this week). I live in St. Pete...are you going through the study with Drs Zbella & Sanchez? I will need to wait until the end of the month to start BCP and then the process will begin. Glad to hear I am not the only one in Tampa trying ...
