Sorry I've been absent for the past while but I've had a horrible couple of weeks. I'll start my story about from when I last posted. I was at high risk for developing ohss. I had lots of follicles but my body was starting to reabsorb some of the more immature ones so I was closer to 60 follicles ...

Hattiestar - I totally understand the sick/mood swings with the birth control. I've found that I am the least emotionally sound while I'm taking the birth control and the rest of the drugs don't have nearly as much of an effect on my emotions. I also had a lot of break through bleeding while on the ...

All sorts of news here since I last checked in. Don't know where to start.
Leora - sorry to hear about the low beta. Hope things still turn out for you.
Tinalou- sounds like you're cycling about a week after me. Not sure what to yell you about the disappearing ovary. Never run into that problem ...

Yay! I finally got the all clear to start my cycle and I get to lower the dose of my lupron (hopefully that takes care of the nausea side effect). My blood work and ultrasound looked good so I start the follistim and such tomorrow. Excited to finally feel like I'm actually doing something.

Leorira ...

Sorry I haven't been on here much. I've got a question for anyone who's taken lupron. I've experienced extreme nausea (been going on since Monday) and had a long night of puking and diarrhea. Yesterday I still had the nausea but it wasn't so pronounced so I thought maybe I had just gotten the ...

So excited to see all the positives. Guess it seems like this could be more than just a treatment, like it could be the real deal. Congrats. I'm also surprised all the embryo retrievals and transfers that are sneaking right up. Good luck!

It's fun to hear all the different opinions about the two week wait. I don't know where I'll stand on it all since I haven't done it yet.

Suzyq- I had to laugh about you getting all your drugs organized since you'll start the lupron the same time I will. I've been busy calling a bunch of the ...

Sunshine so excited for you and wishing you the best of luck.

Valeegirl- you'll be right on track with me because I start the lupron and get to quit BC around 3/10. My husband and I are also paying for everything out of pocket so hopefully the results are stunning.

On my front nothing has changed ...

So I finally meet with the doctors and got my calendar. I guess when my blood work prescreens were done it showed I had high prolactin levels (breastfeeding hormone) so they're putting me on parlodel to lower that and I have to continue with the bcp until 3-15. I start the lupron on 3-11 so ...

Things are pretty calm on my front. They've had me on the BC but I've still had a week's worth of breakthrough bleeding. Not fair I have to take the birth control (which often makes me crazy emotional) and still have to have a period at the same time.

Whimsy- I saw that you quilt. So do I. Mainly ...

Hey it's my first time here but I figured I may want someone to sympathize with going though ivf the first time. Not entirely sure what to expect seeing as how I've done iui with what should have been really good results, lots of good size follicles (almost too many) and a good sperm donation from ...
