Glad to hear from everyone this evening. I wasn't here yesterday because it was too difficult. I had my second beta yesterday. I got back to work & started bleeding. Not spotting, bleeding. It was bright red & definately a light flow. I called my RE. They said not to panic, perhaps the placenta had ...

Did you ask your clinic? My nurse ordered my medications for me at a discount mail order pharmacy. The pharmacy called me, got my insurance info-a little bit was covered for some of the more common drugs. After insurance verified what would be covered, I paid with a cc over the phone & they shipped ...

Thanks for the welcome. So far, I have some nausea, cramping & indigestion. However, I kind of relish it since these are the typical symptoms of pregnancy. They reassure me.

Angelaezra, I understand that this must be a scary time for you. I'm praying for you. Hope it all works out for you. Keep ...

Hi ladies. Can I join your group. My due date is actually July 6, but I haven't found a July group yet. I'm a little early I guess. However, you ladies seem really nice, mind if I chat with you?

The 2ww is hard. I worried about every little twinge until I found out if you are pregnant, cramping is normal as your uterus adjusts. I cramped a good bit & felt more secure when I did. Every day I cramped without AF coming along, I thought, was a good sign. I got a BFP yesterday.

Thank you! It is great. We are thinking perhaps it is twins, but of course will be thrilled with a healthy little one. I hope to see you all with BFP's really soon.

Early in testing, we found out I had a uterine abnormality. At first they did not know what it was. However, my RE told me that people with the "uni" could go on to have successful pregnancies & no to think that I had no chance to have a baby.

It did turn out that I had a septate uterus. Which is a ...

During the education day at the clinic I go to, they said unless there were five nearly perfect embies, they wouldn't go to a day five transfer. The reason is that none of them may make it to day five. Even with 5 or 6 really good ones, you could run the risk of having none to transfer. I had a 6 ...

I got my BFP today. I am so excited. I pray that everything goes well. My number looked pretty good. It was 834. My nurse said it was great. I go back next Wednesday for another blood test & then a couple of weeks after that for an u/s. Good luck & lots of baby dust. :D

I was on 225 units of follistim the first 4 days, 125 units on day 5, and 100 units on day 6 & 7. We had tried Clomid once during an IUI. However, it caused the lining of my uterus to be so thin, I could not possibly get pregnant. After that, we tried Femera for a couple of IUI's. However, I never ...

This was my first cycle & I am close to your age. I am 32. I guess there are so many variables that it would be next to impossible to do a reasonable analysis unless there were thousands of participants. However, I'll share my experience. I hyperstimulated. That means my estrogen shot through the ...

Im am so glad to hear so many others are just as insane as I am. I check for breat tenderness everday. I wonder what every twinge I have means or doesn't mean. I am a bit jealous of all of you too. My test is not until the 30th. I am moody & grouchy. I was sure my boss was going to fire me for ...

I was on that a total of 8 days, but I over stimulated & they had to do the egg retreval 2 days earlier than normal for the ...
