MARCH-CYCLE BUDDIES

[smattison]

How do you get words to appear under your ticker???

[smattison]

Can someone please help??? How do you get words to appear under your ticker??? Also mine is not counting right...it is starting at one instead of 22 days until my stim meds.

Hi Girls -

I hope I can join in on your March cycle...a little late, but I recognize some names from other groups. I was February and then got moved to March due to a delay. I have been hanging with my Feb girls cheering them on as they end their cycles and praying for BFP's all around...

Brief history - this is our 3rd try and we are only doing an ER. We will freeze everything (if all goes well) and do a FET in June. A little nervous b/c our first try we did not have any fertilization and that is always in the back of my mind....so praying we get as good of a response as our 2nd try.

Right now, I just surged and will be starting estrogen patch on March 6th, Cetrotide shot on March 8th and wait for menses to begin to start stims....

Anyway, looking forward to joining you for a very positive month!!!

[REACH-AEJ]

Stephanie - I had the same problem...go to tickerfactory.com and choose "event" instead of "trying to conceive. You can then type anything you want.

Hope that helps!

[smattison]

Wow...finally! Thank you so much for your help!!!!!!

[smattison]

Is there anyone else not using Lupron??? This is my 2nd try and they are not putting me on Lupron this time.

AEJ, welcome to the thread and good luck with your third try! Hopefully the fertilization will work like it did the second time and you will get a BFP in July!

Anna, doing the jig for you too!! I hope you can get started on schedule. Sorry to hear that you're getting emotional and forgetting things - I'm sure it feels weird - but luckily that's typical when you are going through big things like this. I hope your DH is a big support for you and a good shoulder to cry on. And we're always here!

My next scan is Wednesday next week. Seven more days of suspense (it never seems to end). Anyhow, trying to keep it very positive and sending PMA to you all as well!!!

I'd also like to join the Mar group, although v late.

My 1st u/s after 2w Gonal infections into stomach is tomorrow and I have no hints of what's next. Only guesses. Probably HCG infection next Monday, EC on 03/07 and ET accordingly. It's my 1st ivf after 2,5 years of hard trying getting pregnant naturally with 3rd degr endometriosis.

I'm not very good in standing hormones, so for me the infections mean a total weakness at 4pm every day since last Wed. So I stayed at home from Sunday til today to give my body a rest from all the tremendous work and school efforts. The case is that I can work from home as well - and my fellows know that too well.

I'd also add some international touch coming from Estonia where all girls like me try to drink grapefruit juice and warm alchemillae tea - should be good for the uterus regime. And regarding accu, we call it Eastern medicine, not Western - talking from the perspective!

Hi Katt, and welcome to the thread! You're getting very close to reaching your goal, that's great! I hope you get wonderful news at your first scan and can proceed as expected. Hopefully there won't be too many more injections!

Hey, I'm originally from Finland so I hear what you're saying - grapefruit juice is a big thing there too. And yes, the perspective is slightly different

grow follies grow!

the smallest is at .9 and the biggest is at 1.8. they said they want them at 2. hopefulyl just one more day. I only have 1 repronex left and I would really hate to buy more! but they know how much meds i have left.

really funny today- had a new ultrasound tech- new dr. can't be more than 28 or 29 years old. my age, and dh comes with me to every appt so far. so he slides his hand up my leg- "you're going to feel my hand" then the scope EVER SO GENTLY! I had to laugh. probably nervous and probably doesn't help with dh sitting a mere feet away either- you're doing what to my wife?! lol! I'm feeling much better- must have gotten used to all the meds finally- just when I'm about to come off!

kia- I loled at your post about the shots and how you closed your eyes! i was like that for my very first shot of lupron- I wanted to be a big girl and do it all myself until that needle came close to my skin and I was like "nope not going to happen" thankfully dh was there and did it- I have only done 2 or 3 shots of lupron by myself- all the thers, lupron and follistem/repronex he's done for me.

sonya- well, if they're getting together- we need to too sometime! lets wait until we both have bfp and go out to celebrate!

I gotta get back to work- sorry so short!

[pep23]

Hi ladies! Just wanted to pop in and let you all know my base scan went fine and b/w was all normal so I start my Stimms on Friday. I'm so excited!!

XO
Steph

[shantala]

afternoon ladies....

mrs b - i didnt get your pm... what a shame...is it in your outbox possibly?? cool that you are getting some stuff done in the dunedin. dh had some tests done there but that was it. cool that you can meet anytime. dont know when nimble can....nimble?? dont know what nimble's working hours are but i guess she's full-time so probably evening or weekends would be best for her?? how about maybe saturday the 10th march or sunday the 11th?? any good to you two?? (i dont know, i just thought i would throw some dates in the air and see what happens)

kandice - how funny about your scanner. bless him!!

welcome katt and reach!!!!!!!!!

smattison - glad you got your ticker sorted. perfect!!

anna - i hope so too!!! oh by the way, i completely understand the forgetfullness!!!! i am hopeless at the moment which is so not like me!! and its only been since i started downregging....hhhmmm. glad i'm not the only one going mad!!

vicky - how was your accu?? mine was meant to be this evening but she double booked herself so i have to go in tomorrow instead now.

sokru - thank you for your well wishes!! i'm sorry to hear the witch hasnt shown her face yet....hang on, i'll do the double AF jig for you...that always does the trick:



rae - thank you, i really hope the scan brings me good news too. ive rested lots today and although some of my twinges have gotten worse i actually feel better than i did yesterday and the day before. so being off work is definitely helping....well, any excuse to lay around the house watching daytime telly!! hows your little one doing?? you do realise you'll have to post a pic on here of your bump as soon as you are showing, dont you?!

kia - thanks honey! glad you managed to do it on your own. well done you!! your post made me laugh...i'm very glad you stabbed your belly too and not your finger!!

nicky - thanks for your well wishes hunny. sorry to hear your computer froze...that is one of the most annoying things ever!!

pep - yes, they are still expecting EC and ET to be next week. i will find out a more precise date on friday when they do my scan which should give us a better idea. thanks for being so excited for me... think you're more excited than i am!! think the nerves are hitting home now and they are definitely taking over the excitement! how did your base scan go?? cant wait to hear your news!!

aaawww, bless my dh...he just got in from work and bought me a lovely bunch of roses and chocolates!! bless him.
