Beaner-
I see that you weren't Knocked out for the retreival. Did they give you any pain meds or anything. Just curious so I have an idea of what to ask my doc on Tuesday. Thanks!

Hi ladies,

I have only been told to take a mulit vitamin as well. I also will take a baby aspirin everyday.

Tonight is my last night for the BCP so i guess that is one more step down. I have my first ultrasound on Tuesday and then will start the repronex and follistim the following Monday--just ...

I was told lupron doesn't need to be refrigerated until it has been opened.

Last time i did all of my shots in the tummy and for a while it went very well but after 2 weeks of injects my stomach started ...

Hi ladies,
I haven't posted anything in a while because I have just patiently been waiting for this cycle to begin. I finally got my calendar in the mail. I will start lupron on Friday. I am following the same protocol this time so I at least know what to expect. I will start Repronex and Follistim ...

Hi Ladies,

Well AF finally showed up today (CD 33). I assume it is late because of the meds from FET in December because it is usally right on time. I just called my doctor's office today to find out if I can still go thru with this cycle this month because my doctor is going out of town in March ...

Hi Ladies,

As far as our insurance goes we are ...

I really don't know how some of you can go thru this so many times. This ...

So I went in and had my blood drawn this morning and I have patiently been waiting for the phone call. Well they call and tell me that their machine is down so they won't be able to run any results until tomorrow. That is kind of annoying. I am at the point I just want to know one way or the other ...

I too have had cramping all day. It actually started yesterday afternoon and hasn't really went away.

I do have a quick question about progesterone shots. Last time they didn't really start bothering me that much until the end. This time though, my bottom is so sore..it hurts to sit or lay down on ...

I had my transfer yesterday and it went well. They transfered all three so fingers are crossed that at least one sticks. My test date was supposed to be Christmas day but for some reason they didn't want me to come in that day :lol: -- so I will test on the 26th.

Hi all,
I haven't been on in a couple of weeks, so I had a lot of reading to do to catch up on you all. The last two weeks have dragged by. I guess that is because I haven't had any shots or anything. I have just been on the estrogen patches for the last week. I have an ultrasound and blood work ...
