HAS ANYONE HAD SUCCESS AFTER NO FERTILIZATION WHEN DOING IVF

[jenhope]

yeah, I was thinking of the same thing with the u/s. Sucks huh. SO what blood work did you have done today? Can't be the pg yet can it? I know I am very lost on all the numbers also. I am not going to stress my self out about that stuff, what it is it is. Mrs Severino, what does she do? She did your ET? I am confused. Well I go in tomorrow, and then i don't know when but I guess I will find out. Don't stress about the numbers, I have no clue about that, the less I know the better, then I can't worry that it wasn't such a number. It is out of our hands, don't stress, it is easier said than done. Gosh I can't believe how fast this went for you!! Things are coming fast. Wow. Let me know when you find out something. Keep me posted, I have to run. Take Care, keeping my fingers crossed for you!!

ANN MARIE NORMALLY TAKES CARE OF ALL THE EMBIES....MRS. SEVERINO IS HER BACKUP, OR SO I TAKE IT.....I WAS SHOCKED THAT MORNING TOO. IT WAS LIKE, JUST ONE MORE THINK FOR ME TO WORRY ABOUT. THE THOUGHTS OF "DOES SHE KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOING......HOW MANY TIMES HAS SHE DONE THIS.....WHY ME?"

THURSDAY I JUST WENT IN FOR BLOOD WORK ON ESTRO/PROGEST. LEVELS AND ONCE AGAIN I HEAR THE WORDS "EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT". MY DH AND I ARE ON PINS & NEEDLES (NO PUN INTENDED).....LOL

I DON'T FEEL ANYTHING THOUGH, I ACTUALLY LOST A FEW POUNDS AND I FEEL PRETTY GOOD PHYSICALLY, BUT EMOTIONALLY I'M A WRECK. I TRIED TO TALKING TO MY DH LAST NIGHT ABOUT WHAT HE'S THINKING....OR HOW HE'S FEELING ABOUT THIS, AND ALL HE SAID WAS I'M SICK OF GIVING YOU SHOTS, I'M SICK OF SEEING YOU CRY, AND I'M SICK OF HEARING EVERYTHING LOOKS GREAT WHEN THERE'S OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG. SO THEN I FEEL LIKE THE BLAME IS ALL ON ME AGAIN........NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS WEEKEND IS GOING TO BE VERY LONG AND MONDAY I'M PRAYING WILL BE A LIFE CHANGING DAY FOR BOTH OF US!

[jenhope]

I am so sorry to hear your DH is like that. I know it is hard for both of you, but you do need to be able to talk to him about it. He should be your support, in person. I would be a wreak if my DH was like that. Don't put blame on yourself. You should be able to talk to him about anything. I am here for you to talk to. I know you need someone. He needs to be able to talk about this with out getting mad or sick of what is going on. He should just be happy he doesn't need to go through the pain of what we have too. I just can't believe that. You both should be able to talk through both your emotions, and support eachother.

Anyways, I went it today for D3 labs and u/s, u/s looked good, just waiting for lab results, I am sure they will be find. I can't believe I will be starting my Stims today, if labs are ok. I will be back Monday AM for u/s and labs again, I just can't believe it is finally here. Monday will be a good day, I just know it.

I think you should have a nice relaxing weekend, take a calming bath, with candles, maybe go for a massage, you deserve it. It will help get things off your mind for awhile, and help relax you. I just feel so bad. You do need really good support within this wait. But watch everything will be worth it. Let me know when you find your results. Please take care, stress doesnt' help, easier said than done. I wish I had acess to the computer over the weekend to check in, but I don't so, I will have to wait until monday. I will be here today and will check back later. keep me posted, Baby wishes, and Baby Dust, praying for you this weekend. Take care.

OH MY GOD!!! WE GOT A BFP!!! I'M FREAKING OUT AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TTO THINK OR FEEL. I WAS AT PETCO W/ MY BLACK LAB - NALA WHEN I GOT THE CALL THIS AFTERNOON. I WAS JUST BALLING IN THE CHECK OUT LANE, THE CASHIER DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY, I JUST SAID I'M SORRY PAID MY BILL AND RAN OUT. I COULDN'T EVEN DRIVE I HAD TO PULL OVER I WAS BALLING SO HARD... MY DH JUST SAID THANK GOD, HE SAID NOW HOW LONG DO WE HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE WE START TO TELL PEOPLE? I SAID NOT FOR AWHILE BECAUSE I WAS READING SOME OTHER GIRLS POSTS AND I THINK I SHOULD BE A FEW MONTHS ALONG BEFORE WE SHARE THE NEWS. I JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT THOUGH... MY DH IS FINALLY SMILING AND THIS FEELS LIKE SUCH A WEIGHT OFF MY SHOULDERS.

I HAVE TO GO BACK WED. & FRI. THEY SAID I'M STILL NOT OUT OF THE WOODS BECAUSE I NEED 2 MORE POSITIVE TESTS RESULTS, BUT AFTER THOSE WE DO THE ULTRA SOUND AND SEE INSIDE, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG WE HAVE TO WEIGHT FOR THAT?

I HAVE TO RUN FOR NOW, PLEASE DON'T STOP POSTING AND KEEP ME INFORMED WHERE YOUR AT, THANKS!

[jenhope]

MYNALA - Congratulations, How exciting. You must just be floating on air right now. I am crying at work for you. Keep us posted

Wisconsingal- Did you get your results? Just thinking of you all day yesterday!!

[skidoo]

Congrats Mynala...What was your beta number? Mine was 110..Going tomorrow and Friday as well....I still dont believe this

[WISCONSINGAL]

HI JEN: SORRY TO CONFUSE YOU ....MYNALA - IT'S ME WISCONSINGAL!!!
THAT'S MY HOME COMPUTER'S SIGN IN NAME, IT WON'T LET ME USE WISCONSINGAL'S LOG IN....SO I HAD TO CREATE ANOTHER NAME SO I USED MY DOG NALA (ON THE WEEKENDS...)

SKIDOO....THOSE WERE THE SAME NUMBERS I HAD.
IF I REMEMBER RIGHT SOMETHING HAD TO BE AT LEAST 20, AND MINE WAS 31.....SOMETHING HAD TO BE AT LEAST 130, AND MINE WAS 150. THE GIRLS AT THE CLINIC WERE ALL HOLLERING CONCRATS OVER THE PHONE......AND I WAS SO EXCITED I ACCIDENTLY HUNG UP ON THEM WHEN I WAS LEAVING PETCO.....SO THEY HAD TO CALL ME BACK, IT WAS SO FUNNY.......I'M SURE GLAD NO ONE WAS VIDEO TAPING ME BECAUSE I SWEAR I WOULD HAVE LOOKED LIKE A TOTAL BASKET CASE AT THAT TIME. I RE-TEST WED. & FRIDAY THIS WEEK. THEN I'M ASKING HOW LONG I HAVE TO WAIT BEFORE THE ULTRA SOUND....BECAUSE UNTIL I SEE THAT, I WON'T REALLY BELIEVE IT 100%. MY DH CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW THE HPT WAS NEG. AND THE DR'S OFFICE WAS (+).....HE SAID IT'S SO HARD FOR HIM TO ACCEPT THIS RIGHT NOW, SO HE'S LOOKING FOR A VISUAL OF AN ULTRA SOUND TOO. THIS IS SO WIERD THOUGH, WE'VE WAITED YEARS AND YEARS TO HEAR THOSE WORDS.....AND NOW IT'S LIKE WE JUST CAN'T BELIEVE IT YET.

[jenhope]

Oh my god. Congrads, It confused me, but I am soo happy for you, you deserve it. Hey tell your Hubby that HPT don't always work for people. A girlfriend of mine and my cousin both had - HPT in the beginging. ANd they were 3 months pregant. HPT aren't always acurate, plus the blood work that you did is not a +/- it is the quant. The HPT is +/- and if your levels aren't high enough then they don't read them, they dont' always read. The blood is the only thing they can do the quant on, I hope these levels keep raising. SO tell him don't worry. Just enjoy this. I can't believe this, see 2007 is going to be a great year. I hope this is a big sign for us all. Hey so is this you first IVF that wasn't cancelled. Or have you had the procedure done prior to the cancelled one? I can't remember. Hey I am going to be there tomorrow for my u/s and labs. I am on day 3 of stims. I really have alot to look forward too. I think the u/s is like 2 weeks later. Well keep me updated. Gosh I am so excited for you. Congrads. hopefully we will be preggos together. Take care. Keep me updated.

[MYNALA]

HI JEN
THE U/S ARE GREAT WHEN YOU CAN SEE THE FOLLIES GROWING, WHAT MEDS ARE TAKING NOW? HOW ARE THE SHOTS GOING? MY DH HAS TO DO THE PROGESTERONE SHOTS NOW FOR 8 MORE WEEKS, BUT HE SAID IF WE GET A HEALTHY LITTLE BABY OUT OF THIS, IT WILL BE WELL WORTH THESE DARN NEEDLES. I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S SUCH A BOOB ABOUT THE SHOTS, I'M THE ONE GETTING POKED FOR PETE'S SAKE.

I'M REALLY NERVOUS STILL, I GOT A CALL FROM THE CLINIC TODAY, AND THE NUMBERS FROM MONDAY DIDN'T CHANGE. I READ THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO DOUBLE THEN TRIPLE, BUT MINE DIDN'T MOVE. THEY STAYED THE SAME. SHE SAID THAT IT'S OK, BUT THEY'RE HOPING TO SEE HIGHER ONES ON FRIDAY...

I HOPE SKIDOO & REKHA LET ME KNOW WHAT THEYRE NUMBERS WERE TODAY SO I CAN CALM MY NERVES A LITTLE.

TAKE CARE, AND BEST WISHES TO EVERYONE!

[jenhope]

DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE NUMBERS UNTIL YOU HAVE TO. IF THEY SAID IT IS OK, DON'T WORRY. BUT IT IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE. WERE THEY REALLY CONCERNED? THEY DIDN'T CHANGE AT ALL?

WELL MY U/S WAS GOOD. I HAD 23 FOLLICLES ON RT OVARY, AND I THINK 11 ON THE LT. IS THIS A GOOD NUMBER? THEY SAID IT WAS GOOD, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK? I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOOD AND WHAT IS NOT GOOD FOR NUMBERS. I AM ON THE LUPRON 2.5 UNITS AND FOLLISTIM 225 UNITS, WE WILL SEE IF THEY CHANGE THEM. HOW LONG DID YOU STIM FOR? I AM VERY BLOATED, AT THE END OF THE DAY I LOOK LIKE I ATE A BASKET BALL. THEY TOLD ME IT WILL GET WORSE.

HEY KEEP ME POSTED, I WANT TO HEAR WHAT HAPPENS.

[MYNALA]

YOUR FOLLIE NUMBERS SOUND GREAT! I MEAN REALLY GREAT, WITH THAT MANY, YOUR GOING TO FEEL REALLY BLOATED, BUT THAT'S ALL NORMAL. WHEN MY DH WOULD ASK ME HOW I FELT, I WOULD SAY LIKE I HAVE A BUCKET OF GOLF BALLS INSIDE ME! BUT HANG IN THERE, IT'S ALL WORTH IT. THE MEDS SOUND GOOD TO, WHEN THE FOLLIES GET CLOSE TO 18MM THINGS START TO HAPPEN REALLY FAST AND YOUR GOING TO GET REALLY EXCITED BECAUSE THOSE ARE NUMBERS THEY WANT. PLAN ON RESTING THE DAY OF ER AND MAYBE THE DAY AFTER TOO, BUT MAYBE YOU WON'T HAVE TO. ER WAS HARD ON ME BOTH TIMES, BUT SOME WOMEN ON THE THREAD SEEM TO TAKE IT LIKE A GRAIN OF SALT AND IT DIDN'T BOTHER THEM ONE BIT. I HOPE YOUR ONE OF THEM! KEEP POSTING I WANT TO KEEP HEARING YOUR PROGRESS WHICH SOUNDS GREAT!

[jenhope]

YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK ABOUT THE NUMBERS. A JENNY CALLED ME BACK, IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE THE ONE AT THE OFFICE IN GB, BUT I DON'T KNOW. HE IS NOT THERE TODAY BUT AT A DIFFERENT OFFICE. SO I DON'T KNOW WHO SHE WAS. IS THERE 2? BUT I ASKED WHEN THEY CALLED ME BACK WHAT THEY WERE AND IF THEY WERE GOOD. SHE REALLY COULDN'T ANSWER ME, I KIND OF FELT LIKE I SHOULDN'T ASK ALL THESE QUESTIONS. I SAID THEY SAID I HAD LIKE 23 ON ONE SIDE AND 11 ON OTHER, BUT SHE SAID THAT ONLY A FEW COUNTED BECAUSE THEY WERE LESS THAN 8. BUT THAT WASN'T MY QUESTION, I WANTED TO KNOW HOW MANY THERE WERE, NOT WHICH ONES COUNTED. BECAUSE SHE SAID THEY PROGRESS AS THEY GO ON. I DON'T KNOW, I DIDN' T LIKE THE WAY SHE RESPONED, KIND OF FELT BLOWN OFF AND LIKE SHE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW MY ANSWER. IT KIND OF RUBBED ME THE WRONG WAY AND I FEEL KIND OF MAD. I AM JUST CURIOUS BECAUSE I HEAR PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEIRS AND WANT TO KNOW. OH WELL, DO YOU REMEMBER YOURS?

[MYNALA]

GOSH, I WISH I WOULD HAVE WROTE DOWN WHAT SIZE THEY WERE ON WHAT DAY OF THE CYCLE, BUT IF YOU HAVE THAT MANY, THEY ARE NOT CONCERNED. IF YOU ONLY HAD A FEW ON EACH SIDE, MAYBE THE SIZE WOULD MATTER RIGHT NOW, BUT BECAUSE YOU HAVE A LOT, THEY WON'T BE CONCERNED, SO THAT'S A GOOD THING! I'VE DEALT W/ THAT CLINIC FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW, AND W/ THE 2 FAILED IUI'S AND THEN ONE BAD IVF, TRUST ME, I'VE HAD GOOD DAYS W/ THE GIRLS AND BAD ONES! YOU KEEP ASKING QUESTIONS, AND IF THE ONE GIRL ISN'T ANSWERING THEM, THEN ASK FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN A NICE WAY, THE JENNY I KNOW IS JENNY H. I KNOW THEY ARE TRAINING SOME NEW GIRLS NOW BECAUSE BETH IS PREGO SO THEY'LL BE REPLACING HER FOR AWHILE AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE NEW GIRLS NAMES ARE. HEY, NOT TO BE MEAN, BUT IS JILL PREGO TOO? SHE HAD A FUNCKY SHIRT ON THE OTHER DAY AND I'M NOT SURE IF SHE GAINED SOME WEIGHT, OR IF SHE'S PREGNANT, I DIDN'T WANT TO ASK THOUGH, SO I THOUGHT I'D ASK YOU!

REALLY THOUGH, DON'T WORRY ABOUT YOUR FOLLIES, YOU SOUND LIKE YOUR RESPONDING GOOD TO THE MEDS. AND YOU HAVE PLENTY TO WORK WITH. YOUR NEXT APPOINTMENT, RIGHT BEFORE OR RIGHT AFTER YOUR U/S, STOP THEM AND MAKE SURE YOU GET YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED THOUGH, IT WILL HELP YOUR MIND AND EASE THE STRESS...I REALLY BELIEVE STRESS CAN HURT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

[jenhope]

thanks,

To me I thought Jill was pg. But now I don't know. I would think so. Well I have my u/s tomorrow with Dr. Severino. So I will ask him, he will explain it better I guess. Hey let me know your numbers when you get them tommorow. I hope they doubled. Talk to you later. Take care. Thanks for the advise.
