Hi everyone,

A few personals...

Michele : OK< I've already told you how cute Ella is, but now she's even cuter in her 4th of July outfit! You are so fortunate to have such a lovely little girl! And yes, you were right in that I now have a LONG wait until I start prepping for transfer. It's all ...

Hi everyone,

Well, I am in bed (yes, still in my hotel room but now DH has joined me so it's much more fun). My ER was yesterday and all went well EXCEPT that I had a HORRIBLE reaction to the anesthetic (had never had any kind of anesthetic before). About one hour after the ER I started vomiting ...

Well, the verdict is in...I get triggered in 2 and 1/2 hours, then ER Friday morning early. My estradiol was still high today (although it was no higher than yesterday so at least it stayed the same versus increasing). They gave me a new drug to take starting tonight, for 8 days, that is supposed to ...

Well, I just heard from my clinic. They are going to "coast" me for one more day, which means that my ER will now be on Friday most likely (instead of Thursday). I have about 15 follicles that are all growing and that look good; they are very encouraged. BUT, my estradiol level is running a bit high ...

Hi everyone,

I'm jumping on this forum (my main activity has been on the July forum) because, well, I'm 42 and doing my first ever IVF cycle and needing lots of support. For various reasons I got a late start on baby-making and am hoping that I didn't blow it all together.

Right now I am very ...

sabi: After all that waiting and restraint and self-discipline, you got wonderful news!!! CONGRATS!! I'm really, really happy for you. Looks like donor egg definitely gives hope to us oldies! I'm so excited for your good news. Enjoy!

bey : I'm really sorry...it's gotta be so hard. I'm gonna tell you to keep the faith but I'll understand if you want to tell me to shut-up! :wink: Know that we are thinking of you and are here for you.

sabi : It's sooooo close! I will be thinking of you and can't wait to read the posts tomorrow ...

Oh Kushka , I am so sorry to hear of the BFN. I was really keeping my fingers crossed for you; I have just loved your upbeat and humorous attitude on here and was hoping for positive news. Like others have said, I am glad that you have a wonderful DH who sounds understanding and helpful. Do whatever ...

Hi all,

Johannanita : Welcome! sounds like we will be having our ERs very similar in time (right now I am scheduled for the 2nd of July). I hope that it is indeed 2 follicles stuck together. Of course, you only need one egg ultimately to make this work so don't lose faith yet. Good luck and I know ...

Hi ladies!

vicky1707 and deftonesmo : I've never been in the 2ww but I know me...I'd have to POAS! I would want to already know before the clinic told me my result, so that I would already be prepared emotionally. I wouldn't want to have to contain my disappointment if they said BFN and it was ...

Daisy , looks like yet another BFP for our board!!! How wonderful for you and DH! I love that you have "contacts" and can "make things happen," even when your clinic is closed! You go girl--use those friends!!! And keep us posted but it sure sounds like you got a genuine BFP!!! :D :P :D :P :D :P

Good afternoon ladies and greetings from my home-away-from-home hotel room in Denver.

To get caught up:

CTMichele : I feel like you are our fearless leader and now you have sad news...that's hard for me! I'm really sorry about the canceled cycle. IT IS SO HARD TO WAIT and just as hard to lose all ...

Hi ladies,

Contrary to how it may appear, I have NOT fallen off the IVF bandwagon, just haven't been able to post in a while. And boy, am I paying the price now! You guys are some typing fools! :lol:

wickedwheel : Good luck for your upcoming ER. Sounds like you'll beat me by about a week. Sorry ...

Thanks for the input. A few thoughts:

Fortunately my weight is fine and I am in very good shape, so I guess we will never really know the answer to question #1.

And I do not think that there was any evidence of follicles already developing via today's ultrasound (which I guess is a good thing but ...
