Thanks for your response. I only took Lupron microdose my last IVF for a few days so this time taking Lupron for a few weeks with no period had me worried that it would be hard for the egg to implant without a normal period when the time comes. I know the clinic is monitoring me but I guess I just ...

I am taking Lupron shots so that my cycle can get matched up to my egg donor . I started taking my Lupron shots one day before I would have started my period. I have now been taking the shots for 7 days but I have not started my period yet. Should be be concerned or will I get my period in the next ...

Colesmom- Thank you for your response. This has been an added complication I had never even thought of. We did the ET today and all went well. My eggs actually were really great quality this time and we are going to freeze five based on day 5 results. I still had the same problem after the egg ...

Ghost-
I am 43 years old and just had my second IVF egg retrival. They were able to get 16 eggs of which 11 were mature and 10 fertilized. The retrival went well although I was more sore this time but thought that was because last time they only recovered 9 eggs. I had a strange reaction I was ...

Kate,

I to started testing after a 3dt on day 7 and it came back negative. I talked with others on this message board and my doctors who said that everyone can be different. I wasted three boxes of HPT sticks, the very early ones, trying to get a positive but it was too early. I would not test ...

Ghost-Thanks so much for your advice. I took another HPT this morning and still neg. at 9dpt. I am staying away until Thursday as I figure it will be what it is and I won't keep wasting tests. I know this sounds strange but I feel pregnant although my brain says no. If it comes back neg. on my lab ...

Ghost,
I was hoping that you could answer a nagging question for me. I made a mistake an took a HPT on 7dpt and it was negative. I am let down because so many people on this message board test positive after day 5 or 6. My re does not test till 12dpt so I am wondering if I still have a shot to be ...

I know exactually how you feel, I read further down on this website about eating pineapple and figured it could not hurt. My Dr is not really buying this but he said it would not hurt me as long as I did not go over board. Other postings say that eating the core is the most nutrient part because it ...

Thanks to all for your advice. I feel better getting back to my normal schedule. I wish all of you the best. This waiting is so hard.

Yes...I have eaten pineapple during this time I figure it will not hurt and I really like it. My husband thought I was a little crazy to eat the core, I am sure we ...

Hello,
I am new to the board and I am in my first IVF cycyle. I had my transfer on Sunday. I want to to be cautious as possible so I have been on bed rest for the first 48 hours. I am going a little stir crazy so I was wondering if there is any benefit to staying on the bedrest for the next few days ...
