The injections are actually one of the easiest parts of the whole thing. Honestly you get into a routine and they don't hurt, seriously! I was very nervous about the pain and I'm a whimp and its been almost painless! The harder part is the stress on your marriage and on your body from the hormones ...

Sorry I've been MIA! But I've got some news!

Our ET was 10/3 with 1 blast. Sunday was our 1st beta and it was 103. Today was our 2nd beta and we doubled perfectly to 206!

So we are pregnant!

Anyone else due around June 21st?

Sorry for being a stranger lately. Thanks for checking in on me and congratulations to all those who have since received good news. And I my heart goes out to those who have had no such great news lately.

I do have good news to report. We transferred 1 blast on 10/3 and this past Sunday was our ...

Hey ladies,
I love reading all the updates on everyone.

We met blast criteria and tomorrow is our ET. We don't know how many we have as of right now. The Dr. will talk to us tomorrow about that. We are only doing one blast, though, because of my age. I'm hoping we have a least one to freeze ...

smat-Congratulations! That is such great news. I'm hoping your beta goes up tomorrow!! Can't wait to hear.

To those who have had bad news recently, I'm so sorry for you. This process is so overwhelmingly stressful and emotional. I feel for you.

Tomorrow is our ET @ 11:45, we made it to blast! Not ...

Hey ladies,
Just got back online. ER was yesterday and it was roughly than I had anticipated... but I did have 35 eggs! Rested yesterday and drank lots and lots of gatorade. Today I woke up and finally felt pretty good again (no more crazy levels of estrogen... I had gotten up to 3350). Today I got ...

Hey Ladies,
We did our ER yesterday and I didn't realize just how hard it is! I woke up freezing and having severe cramps, but with a little mediation and some heat, I felt better. I HAD 35 EGGS and my estrogen was 3350 at one point. So, there's the reason for feeling lousy!

But today we got the ...

Hey Ladies,
Sorry for being a stranger but stims have really kicked my butt. I felt pretty bad all week... first it was terrible cramping and bloating, making it hard to get around, stand, sit, sleep you name it. Then morning-type sickness due to my estrogen level. Now, I have achy legs that are ...

Sorry I've been away. Stimming really hit me hard. We have a ton of follicles and I've been up to our clinic every day for a week (which is an hour away). I was so uncomfortable some days it was hard for me to walk, sit and stand. Then I'v been having leg pains, aching more like. Dr. thinks its ...

Smattison,
How many days were you before your ER? I'm just finishing up with our 4th day, started ganerelix already, and am wondering how in the world I'll make it 10 days. Been just drinking gatorade at every meal and in between. I'm scared about hyperstim and twisting of ovary. Go in again ...

29 follicles showed today at my ultrasound. Had bloodwork done and they will call me with my protocol. Not feeling so good, crampy and uncomfortable!

Nicole

Went today for bloodwork and ultrasound because I was responding rapidly to just 3 days of gonal. 29 follicles in there! I'm crampy and uncomfortable and they say its probably going to get worse as they grow bigger. Anyone else get a lot of follicles? Also, scared about hyperstimulation!

Nicole

smattison-That sounds great. Good work! Keep us posted. I'm sending baby dust and prayers your way!

Nicole

Went for our bloodwork today and the nurse said my estrogen level went from 25 (at our baseline) to 300 (in just two days), so they reduced my gonal to 225 (from 300) and I'm going in tomorrow morning for more bloodwork and ultrasound. I have to bring in my ganerelix (sp) as well. Again, feeling ...

Soready,
I am so sorry to hear about your results today. It does sound like you are staying positive for the future. You are right, it is a good sign that you conceived naturally in the past. I have friends who have gone through this for years (literally) and now have children. Good luck with your ...
