All,
Thank you.

Girls,

I wasn't successful to do ET today. Our one egg that fertilized did not grow and the other three did not take. My journey to becoming a birth mom is ended. I can no longer keep up with the up's and down's, and feel it's in my best interest to stop trying (after nearly 7 yrs of trying ...

I have two 900 ml of Follistim and one 50 ml of progestrone with seseame seed oil. All of which are unopened.
I would like to re-coup some of my payment for these medication that my insurance did not cover. I would like $500 each for the follistim and $40 for the progestrone.
I can ship FedEX only ...

HI all. Sad news. The one that we hoped for is no longer and the other egg never took. So my journey is clearly ending. I can no longer continue in all the up's and down's, medications and rearranging schedules of doctors. This has been a long journey almost 7 years. So, I know in my heart it's time ...

All,
I had my ER yesterday. I had 4 eggs. I just heard from my nurse today, and out of the four two are a bust, one is so far multiplying and the other hasn't responded just yet. I am sore today. So all I am doing is laying on the couch and watching the TV inbetween sleeping. I haven't even showered ...

Hi all.
Home from ER and I'm a little crampy and spotting, which is to be expected. I had all 4 follicles with eggs!!!!! So now they're in a warm dark space, hopefully growing. I'll be updated during the weekend and on My way to ET on Monday.

Good thoughts and wishes to you Grace. Think happy ...

Everyone:
How wonderful you all are! E2 has gone up to 783 and LH went down to .5, according to my nurse they are happy with the way things are looking for ER tomorrow. I spoke to the Doc who will be doing it, and she said looks like there are 4 good ones. What will be will be. So we shall see, and ...

Just a quick update:
Took my prengyl shot last night. Blood work this morning. My E2 level is up at 785 and my LH dropped to .8. All good numbers. So, ER is scheduled tomorrow 8:30 am EST. I should be all done by 11 and home by noon. I have a good friend who is taking me, since DH doesn't drive ...

LadyB: My opinion would be to wait, relax over the holidays. I tend to think we can make ourselves simply CRAZY (Lord knows I have been and do over all this) during our cycles. We are always trying to get answers no matter what. And sometimes, there simply isn't the answer we think there is. I would ...

Thanks Angie.

LadyB--- I'm so sorry that this one wasn't it for you. I wish I had the right words to help you through it. Just know I'm here for you and will gladly listen.

Stephanie--- This had been my first experience with Lupron and taking Follistim at the same time. All I know is that lately I've been ...

HI all.
Just thought I would update you. I have all 4/5 folliciles ready for retrieval on Friday and Monday is transfer.
Not looking forward to the big needle tonight.... but I'll take it for a hopefully good outcome.

Good luck to all of you.

Cindy

2ndtimer: Happy Birthday. Turning 39 myself, this year was pretty hard. Maybe like you, I still feel so young, yet body isn't keeping up with my youthful mind! Something good has to happen. Maybe 39 will be our lucky number and we'll have to play it on the Roulette Table.

Angela: No there is ...

Girls. I'm glad we have found each other -- it's a GOOD THING. We have to rememeber to try to focus on positive things as well. And we are going to get through it, one way or another!

Remember a couple key things when speaking to your insurance companies: write down who you have talked to and when ...

Hi all.

I'm 39 and this is my first round of IVF. Although, not to doing AF and IUI. I've had two miscarriages one at 7 weeks and one chemical. Usually no more than 2-3 follicles.
This IVF cycle I'm taking 20 Lupron and 300 Follistim, both twice a day. Today I had a u/s and blood work. My u/s ...
