Yay for Hope/Ashley and Tammy! This week is ending better than it started!

Hi ladies,

I'm back from pouting about my BFN :D

So, I need some advice... I think my insurance will cover one more try for IVF. Once I confirm, I need to schedule a consult. So, the practice I go to has 2 main RE's. I just randomly let them select one for me when I went for my initial consult ...

Thanks for all the kind thoughts. It really helps to have others to commiserate with who have been through this many, many times. I think I'm going to go get some really greasy food (and some chocolate) and veg all night.

Hi ladies,

The BETA confirmed - BFN for me. Pretty down right now.

Hope - I'm really sorry to hear that but keep up the positive attitude. It could just be the timing and vanishing twin like others suggested.

Leora - glad to hear you get to relax for the 36 hours. Yah for the trigger!

AFM: I broke down this morning and POAS. It was negative :cry: I wanted to kind ...

Congrats Hope! That's so exciting. I hope some of your good luck rubs off on me for Monday!

Man, you ladies write too fast...it takes me so long to catch up.

Kat - I am SO sorry about your doggie. I am at work and read your post and am tearing up at my desk. I have a dalmatian and he's my absolute best friend (and child). I know the feeling. I lost another dal suddenly 6 yrs ago and it ...

Hi ladies,

2ww is torture! No update here but I have a stupid question. When injecting the POI, do you guys use an 18 gauge or 22 needle? They gave me a bunch of each and more tips for 22. I have been drawing it up with the 22 but injecting with 22 tips. Just wondering if anyone injects with the 18 ...

Yeah, Lou! Congrats!!!!! I'm here at work tearing up for you, I'm so happy. Oh hormones! Yippee!

HI ladies,

Sorry, wasn't able to get on yesterday with a report. ET was yesterday, transferred 2 embies. One perfect one and one not far behind. The other three did not develop well and fragmented...so no freezies :cry: I have to say the ET was the strangest experience. They told me to make sure my ...

Hi ladies,

Embies are looking good. Scheduled for a day 5 transfer on Wednesday. A little nervous b/c like with Lou, we're expecting bad weather Tues into Wednesday. Why the heck did I decide to do this into the winter months?? It's supposed to snow and possible freezing rain...which has me nervous ...

Hi girls-

Sorry for the delay - couldn't make it to a computer yesterday. RE retrieved 7 (LUCKY SEVEN???) eggs yesterday and called this morn to tell me that 5 fertilized with Mr. Right's swimmers :D
RE was very happy with my results based on my issues and only having the one ovary. I'm keeping my ...

Hi ladies,

Had RE appt this morn...took 2-1/2 hrs to get to their office in crappy winter weather (normally 30-40 min commute). Doc said I had to come in today no matter what, and I'm glad I did. U/S looked good and I triggered tonight! Yay! ER is Friday morning. Yipee...I'm starting to see the end ...

Hope - My RE and pharmacy told me not to refrigerate the Lupron, just the Follistim. That's strange that everybody does something different. I'm guessing that if there are so many differing opinions, then it probably didn't cause any harm. Good luck and keep positive....don't stress out those ...

Hello -

Just checking in. Saw RE yesterday and 2 leading follies were 13, with others not far behind. Still looking good per the doc. Stupid question for my seasoned IVF friends - do you usually trigger the day before ER? Or a few days before? Wasn't sure how that worked.

Lou - glad to hear about ...
