MARCH/APRIL BUDDIES

[fulloffaith]

Lolo - how exciting!! Are you doing FET or a fresh cycle? Must feel so good to finally get to transfer stage. Seems like it is taking forever for me!
According to my calendar looks like I am 3 weeks out from my transfer. Seems like ages away!! I guess I am just getting anxious!

Kelly - sorry AF is being fashionably late! Have you tried having sex?! That usually kicks her into gear for me!! And it makes DH happy!!

Have a great day ladies!
Allison

Hi gang,
Lisa B and Claire - thanks for thinking of me. Lisa good luck with your scan on Wed.

Kristine - good luck with your Beta test.

Lovely Lola - Big hig, will chat over in the buds

Just wanted to let you know my scan went well today. Only 5 days into the stimming and i have 4 follies in each ovary and they are between 10 -12mm in size. Have another scan on Friday to check them out again.

There are so many people to write to here but i'm thinking of you all and with you all the way.

Love Jen x

[LisaB75]

hello all!! Finding my mood a bit down today - It is cold, gray, and snowing here so I think my mood is trying to match the weather.

Lola - having ET on Thurs? That is great - good luck!

Angela - 3ww instead of 2ww? You poor dear, hang in there!

Hey Jen - I think we are exactly one day off on our cycles. Looks like Christmas could be a great time for us both!

Lucy and Kelly - my advice on AF - go somewhere, anywhere, wearing white pants and go unprepared (no tampons with you, etc). Guaranteed to start then! Of course the sex thing sounds much more fun!

Everyone else - have a great day! I am having my first scan since I started stimms tomorrow morning so send some follie dust my way! I will let you know how it goes.

Hi everyone ,

Just update my cycle. My AF finally arrived yesterday (thanks god) and it was on the same day that I went to the clinic to have a blood test. Will know the result tomorrow if I’m down Reg. If I’m not down Reg. I will have to wait and get a blood test again on Friday .

Have not been here for some days and as usual I am catching up with all your posts and funny stories here.

Daly/Deidre glad that your egg collection went well. Hope you recover well and you now have only 2ww hurdle to go. Wish you have a big +VE.

Kelly thanks for your magic AF jigging and I’m having mine now. AF must be on the way to you, Kerri and Mellisa, Lincy and whoever’s waiting….fingers & toes crossed.

Lola good luck with your ET on Thursday! Get a Biggggg +VE!

Jen wish you have good quality eggs, 10-12 mm are good signs and size.

All the best for all the others and wish you doing very well whatever stages you are.

Love,

Tapim

The only experience I have off student Doctors are when I had my laparoscopy, I had it under a general anisetic and just before I went under the student Doctor asked me if I minded him doing a vaginal examination while I was under, he then went on to say that he hoped they would eventually let him have ago on someone that was conscious!!

Hi Clair lets hope that this is the lucky cycle for both of us this time, at least having FET I cant get OHSS this time. I’m glad we are cycling together again.

Danielle glad you have got the go ahead to start your IVF. Good luck with the 1st injection

How late is your AF Kelly ? Its typical isn’t it when you don’t want AF it always arrives yet when you do want it, it hangs on for as long as it can.

Lola I am so glad you are joining me on the bloating, I cant wait to get home from work each day so that I can put some baggy (very unsexy) trousers on. Good luck with ET.

Lisa I loved your comment on how to start AF, what you said is so true. Good luck with your scan tomorrow

Hello everyone!

Well I'm now off bed rest and am already going crazy about the 2ww. We only had 2 eggs fertilize and then they were only 4 cells, but no fragmentation, for day 3 transfer. I'm really hoping they can manage even with their slow start. I would love to hear if you guys know anyone with a successful pregnancy after only 4 celled embie transfer.

Jen - Outstanding job on your US. You're follies are growing beautifully!

Angela - How can you stay sane for a full 3 ww? I'm already batty at day 4!

Tapin - Great news on your AF!! Thanks for thinking of me with ET. The transfer went perfectly. Amazing what 2 valium will do!! I'm just hoping the embies have perked up a bit.

Here's an AF jig for Kelly and Lucy and everyone else who's waiting. I efinately agree and say try sex. (You're sure to miss it when 2ww starts...)


Big hello to everyone else. My dh has me on strict computer guidelines and very limited! (for good reason, I tend to go to the research study sites and get myself wound up. ) I'm not able to read up on everything I've missed, but am sending very positive thoughts out to you all!
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. Fingers crossed for us all.

[rouge]

Hi everyone! Just an update and to wish good luck to all for whichever stage u're at now! (sorry this is so impersonal, so many of us here, I'm still a bit overwhelmed by the many many msgs)

I've had another scan on 20 Mar... follies of 9 to 16mm... Doc says EC should be sometime next week!

Sorry to barge in!!! Just wanted to wish Lola good luck for transfer tomorrow. Was going to post on the October buddies thread but that one is way too scary!!!! Personally I think aliens took over that thread ages ago and took on your identity!!!!

Good luck!

[LisaB75]

Well today I had my first scan after starting stimms. Doctor counted 10 follicles and said there may be more by my next scan (tentatively scheduled for 3/25). I am new to all this - but the doctor and nurse seemed to be pleased with my progress so far. I get more and more excited/anxious w/ each doctor's appointment - the suspense is KILLING me! I can only imagine how the 2ww must feel....

Speaking of 2ww.... Daly - great to see you back! I will keep sending babydust your way - let's all root for those little embryos!!

Lola - good luck w/ET tomorrow.

Hi to everyone else - hope you are all having a great day!

[LucyC]

Hi everyone
well, i think AF is on her way! had a small show this morning so am jigging away at the moment!!!

Daly - sending lots of PMA your way!

Lola - good luck for ET!

Lisa B - follies doing well, that's a good count for your 1st scan! keep it up!


Good luck to everyone else with scans, EC's, ET,s and 2ww's
Love LucyC x x

[Deirdre]

Finally off of bed rest...yeah! We had 2 good quality embryos transferred on Sunday - now we're just in for the dreaded 2 week wait. Test date is 3/28. Couldn't check this message board during the last couple of days - but was glad to see all the postings when I logged on today. All of you girls are in my thoughts during this exciting time!

[Jen1d]

Hi again

Well i'm feeling fine as usual. Feel some movement around my tum and a little bloated but apart from that nothing. Hope these follies are blooming.

Lola - So excited for you, good luck lovely bud

Cla - I'm an October Bud, were not that bad and will allow a selected few in for a chat. Beware, you will be interigated and monitored though haha.

Lisa - It good we are so closed together in our cycle, we can keep each other positive, its sooooo hard though eh? Great news about your follies.

Lucy - AF jig is being being done for you in bonny scotland

Tapim - Good news about your AF, the jigs must have helped

Deirdre - Only 6 days to go, keep warm and get pampered

Rouge - Good news about your scan, bring on the EC, will be here to hear you good news.

Daly - Keep positive, remember it only takes 1 little embie. Did you read my Only Takes One thread in the General Foum?

Have another scan on Friday. I desperately hope i have some extra eggs this time so we can freeze them. Send me some positive vibes to grow these follies/eggs for me girls.

Stay positive, i feel lots of BFP coming our way.

Love Jen x
