October buddies??

Nance
That is so great that you have 7 that are doing perfectly!!! I know the waiting sucks but hopefully it will be worth it!!!!

Lori
I felt like I was reading my story when I was reading your post. I have asked the same questions, what is my lesson, why haven't I learned it yet. Let me know what I am doing wrong so I can make it right and move on... It is a hard road and I have no idea where it is going to end. I have come to the conclusion that life is like a never ending train ride, sometimes you fall off and the train even runs you over sometimes but we have to jump back on the train of life because it is going to continue wheither we are on it or not. That jump is hard but its something we have to do... God bless and keep us updated on your plans, or come and vent, we all have been in your position 1 time or another and are more than willing to lend an ear... Sending you a big hug!!!

That is so great about your hubbies insurance!!!! We have to self pay and if this time doesn't work, it will be awhile before we could do another cycle even though we have lots of frosties and the FET cycle is cheaper, we are just tapped out right now... I have heard some ladies say that if you do have insurance coverage, use it to do as many fresh cycles as the insurance will allow and save up your frosties (because those are cheaper than the fresh). Good Luck!!!!

Haylie
I have a pregnant family member although she is not going to the extremes your did she does do stuff that irritates me, because she take it for granted everything be will be fine and nothing could go wrong... I know that God has a wonderful plan for you and that path will open up to you, I don't know when (I am still looking for that door to bust thru myself) He has his reasons and sometimes we understand and sometimes we don't. We just have to have hope, because without it we have nothing. Hope you get your head around things and figure out your path! Good Luck!!!

cmoscar
I am right there with you, one minute I am all excited and thinking this is the one and the next I am thinking it didn't work and I don't know what I am going to do if it doesn't work... Gosh the torture is killing me!!

CasyP
Good to see you!!! Glad you are finally getting started!!! WooHoo!!! I know your cycle is going into November, but I hope you keep us updated on everything!!!!

BecP
Hope everything went well with your transfer today!!! Let us know how it went we you can!! Sending you big hugs!!!

Nance-That is so awesome that you have 7 perfect contenders! I know it's hard to wait for them but I think you should be thrilled with that! If they all do well, you'll have GREAT frosties!

To Haylie, Lori, Malinka-It is so hard to be in our shoes, isn't it? With people having babies right and left and us trying so hard for so long and still nothing . . . it is so frustrating and I can surely sympathize. Even though this is my first IVF attempt, I have been doing fertility stuff for a long time-clomid + IUIs with injectibles. I have constantly asked myself the why me questions. I try to tell myself that my life is on a path and I just might not know where it is heading right now but that it will all turn out in the end. But it is really hard to maintain that when you try and try and have no success. I just want you guys to know that I sympathize with you and hope that you are feeling a little better and that you are in my thoughts.

2wwers-it's hard and I have DAYS to go. I keep thinking I did something wrong, moved too much, etc and that I have lost my embryos. I have had some cramping but then I think maybe I am just too aware of the sensations of my body right now and it is in my head. When does implantation happen if it is going to? I think it is too early for them to be implanting-I am worried that my uterus is rejecting and expelling them! I think I have too much time on my hands . . . gives me too much time to worry!

Hope everyone has a great day!

[Malinka]

Haylie and Lori,
I am also asking myself all those questions, why me and what went wrong. My DH is very supportive but I can see it in his eyes that he is struggling to understand why it didn't work, he knows I am fine, so why it didn't work? Well, I don't know myself why it didnt' work, maybe cuz it was a frozhen sperm, maybe the quality of my eggs wasn't great, but one thing constantly in my mind, is that it is all in G-d's hands and that what we are going thru right now is our test that we have to pass somehow. We just have to be strong!


Girls who is going thru 2ww nightmare--- good luck! I am sending you lots and lots of baby dust:)

[jenn]

Hey Chickees-

How is everyone today? I think my PIO shots have finally gotten to me. I have been very weepy and tired today. I went for my blood test this morning. I have no idea what it will tell them but they will call me with results this afternoon. I have to go give them more blood Mon, Wed,Fri next week as well. Dh and I were supposed to go out of town, but I just can't do it. Too tired. I know he is disappointed, but he'll get over it!

Nance- It is hard to wait for them, but you'll get them back soon! Hang in there- at least you know they are great quality right?

take care!

[cmoscar]

Just a quick post, my RE called and said they want to wait a little longer to do the PG test. My new PG test date is now Oct. 18. To all the 16th girls, good luck and I have my fingers crossed for all of you!

Cmoscar- that stinks.... how could they do that to you? Don't they know your already on pins & needles waiting for the 16th. The nerve of them.... sorry sweetie!

Hey everyone. Just a quick note to let you all know that I have 23 follies right now which is stim day 8. I will go back in the morning for another ultrasound to see if anymore have grown. They are planning on my EC either Monday or Tuesday depending on the results tomarrow. I have to sign off for now since I need to get back to work. I will check up on you all tomarrow.

[fulloffaith]

Hey October girls!

Dr. called me today and asked me to come in earlier tomorrow morning - fine by me!
Let's start the 2ww!!

Said they checked on the little ones yesterday and they all look good except for a few fair graded ones, look a little slower than the rest. So he said by tomorrow they'll be able to see who the winner's are! My clinic is very strict in grading Excellents. If it does not have all the things they want to see they call them Good. But I would sure like at least one to be excellent - it would make me feel better!
Out of 20 you'd think I could get 1 excellent one in there! HAHA!
So I will be on bed rest tomorrow and taking it easy on Sunday but it's back to work on Monday.
I hope everyone has good productive weekends with their cycle!
I'll chat Monday!

HUGS,
Allison

Fulloffaith- Good luck on your ET tomorrow... you'll be in my thoughts and prayers. Make sure to take it easy over the weekend... your little embies will need some rest!

Jstrandlund- Sounds like your having a great cycle so far (23 follies on day . Keep us posted as to what they find tomorrow.

Jeck & Ampmed1- How are you girls holding on? Try and keep yourself busy this weekend so the time passes quickly.... then Monday will be here before you know and you'll both be getting your BFP's.

Looks like next week is going to be another busy testing week.... I'm keeping my fingers & toes crossed for all you ladies... I want to see tons of BFP's!

BecP- did you have your ET today? If so how did it go?

Nance- that's great that your doing a day 5 transfer (that's what I did). They say day 5's are better just because your little embies have lived on there own for two extra days.... plus your closer to implant day. I was told that usually day 6 is implant day (so technically they'll only be in you a day or so before they start implanting)... so that's good!

If I've missed anyone I'm sorry.... hope everyone has a great weekend and I can't wait to hear all the updates!

[jenn]

Hey everyone- real quick:

The Dr. just called and told me to start on my vivelle patches and these pills that go under the tongue (estradiol or something). Anyone else doing these? I haven't seen anyone mention them???

jstrandlund- wow! you've been busy, good job!!

full of faith- good luck!! Take care of yourself!

[Haylie]

Thanks girls for all your kind words and support. I know I'll get there one day, it's just a long painful journey getting there. I'm trying to get focused now on the next couple of months I hvae lots to look forward to so I'm going to throw myself into that. I'm going to Florida for a fortnight in 3 weeks for my cousins wedding, I did think that I wouldn't be going cos I wouldn't be able to fly!! so I don't have anything organised so I will be busy up until then sorting it and getting excited. I also have my birthday and DH's and DS's 30th birthdays to organise so I hvae lots to take my minds of things.

Bec and fulloffaith- how did the ET go? I hope you are taking it easy and spoiling yourselves. Wishing you a speedy 2 ww

Jeck - 3 more sleeps I bet you can't wait, roll on Monday so we can celebrate your BFP!!!

[Jen J]

Hi Jenn-I only have progesterone cream, none of the other meds you listed. I don't have any blood draws until the pg test either . . . is this common? Is everyone still being monitored like this? Maybe I am missing out on something extra that I can do to help my chances . . .

fulloffaith-good luck with your transfer!!

jstrandlund-congrats on the follies! You're doing great!!

Have a good weekend all! Hubby and I get to go out to dinner ALONE tomorrow night! I'm so excited-we need this so much after these past few weeks-a chance to reconnect a bit!

[rparsons]

Havn't been on in a few days so I'm lost. I don't have time to catch up. I'll have to come back later to read everything. Just wanted to give a quick update.

As of Thurs morning we had 6-8 cell, 2-6 cell and the other 3 were 4 and 5 cell. This looks really good. We are doing transfer this morning so I am anxious to see how they are and to get my babies back where they belong!!

Then on to the big 2ww.

I'll come back and read how everyone is doing and update you guys tommorrow.

Have a great day!!!

[jenn]

Good luck today Rachel!! It sounds like your eggs are doing really well!!

JenJ- every clinic is different. I have to go every other day for bloods. They said they are running tests as if I was pregnant and if something looks low they try to boost it up. I also had to do an HCG booster last night. Very diluted and only .5cc they were trying to stimulate my ovaries to give me a little more estrogen. The nurse told me everyone at the clinic does the pills and vivelle patches it is just a matter of when. When the bloodwork shows you need it. Enjoy your dinner tonight!!

Jeck- only a couple more sleeps Enjoy your weekend!

Haylie- looks like you have some fun events to look forward to, Have fun!

have a great day everyone!
