Hello ladies!
How are you guys doing? Enjoying the weekend I hope? My ovaries are definitely sore, and I definitely feel them when I empty my bladder, but it’s just annoying. I’m at work right now. Yeah, I know… I have to work on Saturday today till about 4pm. Bleh! But it’s okay, time passes faster that way and every evaluation brings me closer to the embryologist’s call! I keep thinking about my little bundles of joy that are growing not too far from here! Grow embies, grow for your mommy and daddy! Other than that, I felt a little barfsy yesterday evening, but I think the impressive amount of pasta I ate has something to do with that… tee hee hee. And my husband this morning who goes, “But hun, you told me to bring you a second serving!” “Yeah, and you did! And you knew it would make me sick!” “But I always do what you ask me to do sweetie… I’m your servant, your obedient slave!”
Oooooooooh I’ll remember that… he’s in BIG trouble!
Okay, time to ease my guilt now and do these personals!
Aunty! How come your ovary hides like that? I’m really happy about your nice follie count though! That’s amazing! Hey, that’s more than me, and with just one ovary in addition! Sorry your clinic takes that long to call you back! Ew! Long day indeed, especially that you have to wake up so early to get there in time! I’m sorry that your follies are giving you such worry… must be tough calls on the part of your docs for sure… to stimm or not to stimm… When will you know sweetie? Oh, I really hope everything turns out for the best!
Thanks for your reply about my EC! *mwah* Oh, and just a detail… the way you wrote nouna and my update on your list, it looks like it’s our 5th ET! LOL and it’s not the case; we’re both first-timers! I know you meant Feb 5th, but… just thought I’d point the possibility for confusion…
Welshbugger: I’m really sorry that you have that bad taste in your mouth… must be really annoying; you can’t help but taste it all day long! Poor thing… don’t they have any meds for that? Or diet recommendations that could help? I hope you had a great time with your DH! What kind of restaurant did you go to? Thanks so much for your touching reply! Ooooh I could hug you real hard right now! *mmmwwwwwah!* (the heck with the English reserve, lol!) I really don’t know why he wasn’t allowed in the recovery room… especially that he was allowed there just before I went to the OR… I guess it’s just the clinic’s policy so they keep the noise low and don’t make the room too crowded (there are about 6-7 beds in there). Hehehe well, they could have made an exception; the only other woman there (she was alone, too) had had her transfer done… she seemed top shape! I couldn’t agree with you more on the look of our sweet husbands… In moments like this, they really show their emotions and it really compensates for the times they don’t in-between (;)) I’m really glad you could share a tender moment like that with your man… we’ll see how he reacts with the transfer on Monday! I’m really sorry that you feel so anxious about your clinic’s politics… they really should give you that info in written form somewhere so you know what to expect… and at least give you the choice! Hey, those are YOUR embies, not theirs! Since when should they have a legal write to do something you’re not comfortable with?
Beachbaby: nice lining sweetie! Looking forward to have more news on your condition! Hang in there! Thanks for your nice words! They warmed my heart!
Sassy: yeah, LOL I think your posts made it clear that you looooove those drugs!
You EC junkie! Thanks for your reply, it warmed my heart! How are you doing with your 2ww?
Tcbalgord: awwwww really? I made you cry! Oh, it was not my intention! My DH is indeed the sweetest man in the world (but don’t worry, he’s far from prefect, just like me!). Even if he feels useless in these situations, he’s still the best person to be around. He’s just very zen and he doesn’t panic. He told me he really like how I react in these kinds of situations, too, not becoming hysterical. But LOL, as I believe I told Becleo not so long ago, though he’s awesome in these key moments, he sometimes has a VERY hard time to realize that to me, the periods between these key moments can be “key” as well!
But the important thing is, it’s all becoming more and more salient and tangible for him and that’s great.
I can’t thank you enough for your kind words about my post. Really, it made my day. *HUGS* And about your needles/injection phobia, you know you could get rid of it in just a couple of therapy sessions or just one afternoon. I did my PhD in phobias, so I know what I’m talking about. Please make an appointment with a COGNITIVE-BEHAVIORAL psychologist soon and put that behind you.
And LOL I loved your instructions for my babies to divide and conquer! LOL!
Nerms: hello sweetie! Thank you so much for posting! I’m especially happy that you could find useful information in my post, being a first-timer like me, that was the whole point of giving so many details! I really hope that your ovarian vacation is a smooth one! Thanks for your feedback hunny.
Ange: thanks for your reply darling! I can’t wait to know how many embies either!
I’m glad that my post touched you (awww guys, you’re SO awesome! I have a lump in my throat now!) The reason I’m so proud of my composure is that, when I had this huge infection that caused my infertility, in 2003, I spent 8 days in the hospital. It was a difficult stay at times, but that’s a long story. Point is, they installed me a picc-line so I could receive antibiotics at home but through my bloodstream instead of pills (better absorption; it’s a long tube they install in your arm through one of your biggest veins; the tube is so long it almost touches your heart and the other end is plugged on a very fancy pump that sends the proper amount of meds from a bag). I had spent 8 days in the hospital, I was exhausted, the nurses kept offering me Ativan and rolling their eyes like installing a picc-line was this big terrifying deal (no joke!) so when I showed up in that OR, I was terrified… and I lost it. I became nearly hysterical, cried, and hyperventilated a lot… problem is, my father and his wife work in that hospital (cardiologist and surgeon) and they knew the guy… and both showed no empathy whatsoever for such a minor procedure and even made me feel real bad and ashamed for losing it on that table (and embarrassing them!). I’ve had certain issues with my reaction to medical procedures since then, hence my pride about how I’ve kept my cool so far. It’s all a matter of preparing yourself and know what to expect… and not have these two around, lol!
Empmtb: oh, is your clinic the type that doesn’t do any blood test and only gives you an HPT? Because if it’s the case, I really don’t know what to tell you… so many women here tested through HPTs and got traumatized more than reassured… and could never really believe the negative result until they tested and re-tested… So many women who become pregnant naturally don’t test positive before day 40-something of their cycles! Gives you an idea! What’s your clinic’s guidelines exactly? And their rationale for it? I couldn’t agree with Ange more… think twice…
Shantala: thanks for your note! So happy the sniffing is going well! Yay! When is your down regging check?
Charlie: thanks for your reply!
Not sure what the advantage was to see the EC, though… sure the recovery must be faster, but it’s not particularly nice to see that needle go through your ovaries and suck all these follies in… you don’t see much other than that. But getting even closer to my husband and sharing that moment with him was priceless, though, and I agree with you for that! Congrats on your little totsicles! That’s great! 6 is an amazing number! How are you handling the 2ww?
Hopeful! Thanks for you wishes hunny! Aaaaw the test is so close now! You must be counting the hours! Rooting for a BFP here!
And it seems I rooted right, from the post I just read! You naughty naughty girl! I’m sure it will be hard to sleep tonight! But I hope your blood test confirms the good news! (though according to my pharmacist, if you get that positive on an HTP so many days after your trigger shot, then it’s a REAL positive!) Congratulations and enjoy your pregnancy sweetheart!
Nouna! Hey! Hello dear! Thanks for your post! I’m very anxious to get that call! It looks like we’ll both have our ETs on Monday? Are you excited? What news do you have from your embies? I’M so sorry about missing work because of pain… hey, I’m bloated too and I can empathize fully with you sweetie! Makes me sing in the shower AND howl on the toilet, (lol Welshbugger)! But it’s worth it!
Cookholmes: thanks for your reply! What news?
Silvacharm! Ooooooooh the numbers doubled! That’s amazing! Don’t worry about the numbers itself, as Aunty said… she posted a nice chart a couple of days ago and it really shows that the number’s “behavior” is the most important, not the digits per se!
Jaby: looking forward to have news about your scan!
Lara: thanks so much for your warm words! I’m really sorry that your meds have such an impact on your mood… it’s okay to think of the DH who are the victims of that, but hey, it’s also not funny to be moody… I hope your body eventually gets used to it and you stabilize more…
Vickie: I’m so sorry that things evolved that way… at least, had that agonizing wait for a final answer had brought better news… I do hope you’re getting plenty of support and love from the people around you. Hang in there sweetie… it will get better eventually.
Time to get back to work!
Have fun ladies, and behave! Lots of love,
Sophie
and now today i have to up my dose to 3 a day.Our poor dh's takes all the hormones that we all have and are pumping into ourselfs they have to put up with all the mood swings and everything else sometimes they deserve some of what we're having how would they cope .Sorry rant over now.
....so definatley game over as the clinic said if it becomes like AF over the weekend they unfortunately it doesn't look like its gone in our favour....need to start focusing on our next go now i think 
4 IVF=BFN
who knows...but one of my follies has jumped ahead of the others and is now 21...i begged him to let me go one more day to see if the other will catch up they are all aroung 14...way too small to get a mature egg from so fingers crossed for me he said it depends on my E2 level....
i'm so excited but trying to stay grounded until my BW tomorrow. I just couldn't control myself, i went to use the bathroom and the HPT was sitting on the counter taunting me. I thought well there won't be anything there beacause it's too early and it's evening, HCG would be weak. i swear i was not going to POAS but this HPT was left over, i figured why let it go to waste.
