Hi,
This group is mostly inactive, I just check in every once in a while to see if any of the old group came back and is trying a new cycle.
The process is crazy, and scary, and stressful, but it's worth it. I no longer even think its weird that I did IVF and I don't care how my baby was conceived ...

Mommie - I'm so sorry. We were all hoping you had gone missing getting ready for your twins. Good luck with the next try. Praying and hoping for you!!

Hi Hope, I check in every once in a while to see if you've updated, so thank you. I hope you enjoy your summer - you deserve it.

Pregnancy is going well. I started feeling like a person again once I stopped the PIO injections. You'll see for yourself pretty soon .

Hope - I am so so sorry. :( Please take care of yourself and let the doctors figure out the underlying issue. Please don't beat yourself up about not transferring two - if the problem was something other than the embryos, putting in more wouldn't have changed anything and you would have been upset ...

I'll be counting down with you!!

Hope - Yaay! I was nervous when I didn't hear from you yesterday. I'm so glad it went smoothly. I felt kinda crappy starting about 2-3 days post transfer. I felt absolutely nothing the day of transfer or the next day. But the "cramping" was really mild also so I wouldn't worry if you don't feel ...

That's great, Hope! I don't know if I mentioned it, but I got pregnant with roughly a 6 mm lining. Crappy, I know. But it worked. Your 7 mm sounds great and hopefully it'll be even better in a week!!

Mommiewannabe - I was just switched to crinone from the injectables and found out more info on crinone pricing. It is ridiculously expensive and even though its for pregnancy, they code is as infertility because crinone sells specifically for "ART patients," BUT if you call them, they will send you ...

Hopeful - I'm really sorry to hear that about your husband, but hopefully now the underlying problem can be fixed and you can get your babies. I can't even imagine how frustrated you must feel about the lost time and the money, effort, and physical toll of having gone through IVF and an FET. If you ...

Hopeful - It's so nice to see you back!! How are you doing? I'm due January 3. Thanks for the well wishes.

Mommiewannabe - That's great! Congrats! I'll be praying that both of your little em-babies stick.

Hope - I'm feeling all of that! The worst part was that I had a bad cold and fever for the first 3 weeks after transfer and couldn't do anything for it. Now if I ever stop eating, I get super nauseous and my mouth tastes like metal. But yes, I'm loving every minute of it!! I'm so excited that you'll ...

Mommiewannabe - That's awesome! I'm so excited for you! I have no experience with Crinone or the suppositories (I thought Crinone was a progesterone suppository). My doctor put me on PIO injections. And the cost sounds about right. Everything is ridiculously expensive. Sorry I can't help.

And ditto on the Mother's Day wish for next year!

Mommiewannabe - Good luck on Monday! Keep us posted. How long have you been on the estrace already?

Hope - I'm so excited to hear that you've started again and that all is good re your own health. :) Now you can move forward without worrying.

So my RE actual went back to the initial protocol (just oral estrogen), but did also do an endometrial biopsy before the cycle. My lining didn't get any ...
