Thanks for the well wishes tomorrow, I will keep you posted.

Champa--My back was really hurting all through my 2ww. That is a definite sign of pregnancy or of pain from bed rest. Relax and hang in there! I can't wait to hear.

Mia--all is crossed for you!!

MEGA MEGA BABY DUST

Lola - I love having a nephew too, its just hard because this is the first grandbaby for my parents and they are soooo excited. Its all anyone in my family talks about when we are together and it hurts sometimes. You are a much stronger person than me and you give me inspiration to try harder.

Wannababy - Maybe I misunderstood your post. Did you say that your next fresh cycle will be a BFN? What did the Ghost say to make you feel that way? Image

Suzhan - Good luck tomorrow. My follow-up appointment is some time next week. I probably will be starting round #2 IVF on my next AF, which won't be until Oct 1st. Looks like I'm behind you and Lola a few weeks. Please wait for me to move on with you guys after we all get our BFP's this time.

myhb - Thanks. Good luck with stims!!!

Sam/Rittie - Good luck tomorrow. Image

Herbie - Congrats on 7 wonderful follies!

Yogi - Welcome to our awesome group. Image

Wow this board is really growing and its so comforting knowing you have such caring and supportive people behind you as you go through a very sensitive process.

Love you all,
Alicia Image

Reporting to everyone,

Just been for the 6 weeks scan. Amazing. We have heartbeats. Yup, not one heart beat, we have two heartbeats. I'm only just starting to feel a bit pregnant so its a bit hard to take in that not only can I truly believe I am pregnant now, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE TWO Babies!!!!!! Phew. I am blown over. Sorry if I'm upsetting anyone. I hope I am not.

And THANK YOU GOD for letting us have this blessing. Now babies, please grow strong and hang on in there, please babies please.....

Sam, over to you now...

Lots of love
Rittie
aka confused and blown over

I can't believe it, congrats! I am so happy for you. Are you freaking out? I am sure you feel so blessed and in shock all the same time. What an expereince. I look forward tomine and just pray there is a heartbeat so I can relax and enjoy the morning sickness that I am now possessing.

Love,

Thank you Sam. I am totally freaking out. I had prepared myself that there may not be a heartbeat. But if theres a sac and its in the right place, I should finally believe I am pregnant and be happy. When we saw 2 sacs we couldn't understand it. When they said there's definitely 2 heartbeats and they're in the right place, it was amazing. Sorry I am a mess at the moment. I made it through so far coolly and calmly until now and I am freaking out.

Big hug big Hug to you Sam. And good luck with the scan. You and beanie(s) will be super!!!! Let us know.

Lots of love
Rittie

Rittie --- yupeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! How great! Congratulations !!! Image That’s such a good news! You must be so overwhelmed by those two miracles Image Image

Sam! Good luck today! Hope you get bigger and bigger each day! Image

Yogi --- welcome to our group, hope you’ll stay with us and keep us posted! Everyone here is so supportive! Image

Alicia --- I understand, how you must feel with the new baby. I am not as strong as you think, you should see me when my cycle was cancelled Image . I thought it was the end of the world… But when my brother and my sister in law had a baby, I felt like at least the pressure is off of me and we can keep trying while my parents are not anxciously waiting anymore. Plus it will be number one for my hubby’s parents, since he is the only son.. Image


Myhb – congrats on starting stims, you will have your ER sooon!!!!!! Wow! We have to keep an eye on you now, swetie Image

Herbie – --6 follies are great! Let’s hope for even more now! When is your estimated ER? I always have a doctor doing my u/s, maybe you should ask him next time to do it…. Image

Suzhan --- My AF should arrive sometime around the 20th, the dr. said it may take a month for me to get it, since I dropped everything when my estradiol was 30. And that was on Aug 22. So we will be starting together! And Alicia will be right there with us couple days later. Image I cannot wait to start again!

Wannababy --- please don’t think that the fresh cycle might not work out, look, it worked for other people!!! Frozen cycles may often be more successful, but that does not mean anything… Image

Image Mia, Champa, sending lots of baby dust your way! Image

Love to all of you! Turtle Lola

Lola, thanks for the well wishes. If I stim like my fist cycle i would be going to ER on Saturday, but I am thinking it will be sunday this time. I think they are going to give me an extra day to cook...hehe I went for u/s this morning and I have 8 follies now. The same nurse did the sono again. I was hoping the doc would do it but she wasn't there. I think I have more follies, but E2 is on the high side and I just feel like she's not getting them all.

Baby dust to us all

Welcome newbies!!! :D

Thanks for all your good luck wishes. I can't believe I'm going to find out my results in 2 days! I have a really good feeling! :D I feel like I was training for a marathon and now I'm finally in the last mile, about to cross the finnish line. I can't wait!

Rittie, WOW! Congrats, you are twice blessed! That is wonderful news. I know it must be a shock right now. I know you'll do fine with 2. Sure it will be twice the work, but it will be twice the joy and fun. My DH wants twins. I kind of would like twins because then I think I wouldn't have to go through IVF again when I want a second baby, I will already have 2. I bet they would really love to grow up with a twin. I wish I had a twin, LOL. :D

Sam, Good luck with your scan. I can't wait to hear your news. I guess they think you might have twins too. How exciting!

Champa, I'm taking 200mg (2 capsules) of progesterone 4 times a day. I was getting 1 cc injection of prog everyday until yesterday. No more shots for me! YAY! Good thing too, because I just started getting those big itchy hives. :shock: I also have to wear 4 estrogen patches and I take 1 estrogen tablet 3 times a day. Do you take estrogen too? I always hear people say they are taking Progesterone after ET, bit no one ever talks abut estrogen, hmmm?

It's so good to hear from everyone. Strong PMA everybody!! 8)

I just got back from my ultra sound and I have one very strong baby in me! We are overjoyed!!! The doctor said my progestrone is extremely high which is why I am having so many syptoms and they are going to ease me off of the meds.

I feel great but now need to nap!! GOod luck to all of you. An exciting next couple of days!

Rittie and Sam-Congrats on your good news. You two must be over the moon! Bask in your glory! :D What kind of morning sickness, Sam?

Hopeful and Champa You two are almost there. How are you both feeling?

Herbie- Good luck on your upcoming retrieval

Myhb- Congrats on stimming. Do you feel more emotional since you started?

Lola- Thanks for the words of encouragement. I know that you are right about fresh cycles. Hopefully it will work the 2nd time.

Shapooh-Yes you read correctly. Ghost shared with me the reason why most fresh cycles fail. It has led me to believe that I need to get some embies to freeze so that this will work. It would be great if round 2 worked!

Yogi- Congrats on beginning your cycle. We are here to support you.

My nurse left an inaudible message (bad connection) telling me that they are going to change my medication when I begin the next cycle. I couldn't hear everything she said, but it sounded like they are adding Lupron to the mix. If you have been on diluted lupron, please tell me it's a tummy shot! Take care!
