Hi Jeff-

In my last round, I used Prosperity Pharmacy in Fairfax, VA. Paid about $500 per 600iui, which seems comparable to Freedom (which I used in a different round). You might check with your clinic to see if they have any coupons or know of any specials at any of the pharmacies. Good luck to ...

I've been offline for a while, but I just had to check in and see how Katie's beta went --- CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am SO happy for you!

Hi ladies - I'm so far behind I'm not sure I can do more than a couple of personals.

Cami and Ronda - I'm so sorry about the BFN. I'm not sure what I can say except, yes, this sucks.

Riley - Congrats - it's good to see some good news!

Katie - all my love and good luck in your transfer tomorrow ...

Hi ladies - Thanks everyone for the support and sympathy. A quick note, and then I'm going to head off for a couple of days and then catch up when I get back on the boards.

I talked to my RE and he confirmed that the odds are very slim this time, but he does want me to stay on the progesterone and ...

The nurse called. My beta is a 10. So, they're having me stay on the progesterone until the RE calls me, but I can't imagine there's any hope. I don't think I've ever seen one that low turn out okay.

Latrell - I'm so sorry! I hope AF comes soon and you get a better response on the next round.

Lauren - LUpron is used to suppress ovulation before and during the cycle. There seem to be two main protocols used - Lupron, then stims, or BCPs then stims. Some women respond better to one than the ...

T3 - I'm glad you're looking forward! I usually get AF 2-3 days after stopping the meds. Just to warn you, it' might be a very heavy one, after all the lining that you've been building up.

Samantha - All sorts of things will affect your HPT results - so don't worry too much. I'm looking forward ...

Hi Ronda - I never get AF until I go off the progesterone, so I don't take that as any kind of sign. Besides, the only way my HCG is so low that the test can't detect it, then it would still be pretty low tomorrow (meaning yet another chemical for me). So I think I'm just being realistic, not overly ...

Hi all - I did POAS this morning. It's negative. I know that's not the final word, my beta is tomorrow. But I also know that it's probably correct. At least I can look forward to feeling normal again for a few months. I still have three blasts frozen from my last fresh cycle - I decided to hold off ...

Ronda - Es is right - you're testing too early! Remember that false negatives are really common at this point!

Es - I quit real coffee last summer before my second cycle (even though my RE said I didn't have to). I have decaf every morning, and then have real coffee about once a month. Yum. For ...

A quick note to Katie - I'll do more personals later.

First, I am so sorry about how this process has gone for you. No one deserves to go through what you've been through.

This offer of donated blast must come as huge shock, and especially to be decided so quickly. I don't know how you feel about ...

Sam - That's fantastic! Hooray for some good news! I have full confidence that your faint pink line will become a dark line by Sunday. I do not, however, think you'll make it through Saturday without POAS again. :)

Heather - No AF yet! Tell her she is NOT welcome.

Sonya - 22 eggs! I'm sorry it ...

Kim - I'm so so sorry about your BFN. I hope you and DH can find comfort in each other.

And Niki - My sympathies to you too. I'm really sorry. I know how heartbroken you must be.

Ronda- I think I might POAS on Sunday. I only have one, so I want to wait as late as possible. I have to say I'm not ...

Franny - oh hon, I'm so sorry. Lots of hugs and you'll be in my thoughts. I'm so glad you're not giving up!

Es - My first chemical, my beta was a 29 (14dpo), then it went up to 45 two days later and then stopped. My second time it was 33, and dropped from there. So both times, I pretty much knew ...

Sam - Ha! It's funny because when I've been on other cycle threads last year, everyone was pee stick CRAZY! ON this thread, we're all ashamed of it! Of course yours was negative, silly. Rip and Cord are not going to show themselves this early.

(Also, I don't know if this is true for you, but my ...
