Kandice, I'm glad that you get to transfer blasts! Good luck for Thursday!

As to your question, I definitely want to know if it's a boy or a girl. DH doesn't (wants to have an old-fashioned surprise) but frankly, I don't need any more surprises

So if we get that far, I'll definitely ask if they can determine the sex.

Nimble, have a great trip and happy B-Day!!!

Mrs. B, congrats on your beautiful lining. That's wonderful news. You will really be multitasking on the day of your FET, huh?

Evening Ladies,

My, my my haven’t we been a busy lot on here, I have only been away a few days and look what’s happened.

Shantala—that’s is fantastic news 5 little embies just waiting for their mummy. You go girl, praying with all my heart that this will be your dream come true.

Nimble—probably missed you by now chick, do hope they let you through customs with your meds!! Hope you have a lovely time.

Nerms – food luck for tomorrow scan hope all goes well for you.

Nicki—how’s the sniffing going chick?? Does it still taste fowl or are you getting used to it??

Anna – good luck for your scan hope those follies are growing for you.

Kandice—well well well you really are something. At first I thought I was reading the post’s wrong!!! You go girl, good luck with the ET.

Rae – good luck for the scan tomorrow, so you would like to know the sex but DH not, will they tell just one partner??? When will they be able to tell the sex?? Hope your feeling well.

Jackie – sorry to hear about the cyst, if its not one thing it another, chin up chick. ((Hugs)) good news about the date though.

Mrs B – good new’s about your lining, wishing you all the best for FET, will be thinking of you.

Hi to everyone one else, hope you’re all doing well.

Well ladies I have a quiet house again SIL and children went to MIL this AM, for a few days they arrive back here on Friday before the head back home on Sunday.
As for me things are not to bad mood swings are few and far between now which makes DH a very happy man. My belly is so sore, it’s black and blue and this is before I start stimming. AF still hasn’t shown her ugly head. I phoned my clinic to enquire what would happen if she doesn’t show soon and its bad news the say if she isn’t here by Monday then we might have to look at re scheduling. So I’m a little down to say the least. (Sorry harping on again)
Anyone got any ideas on how to bring on AF???? Please help.

I actually think the taste is getting better!!! x x x

Hey ladies

Sha- Sorry to hear AF is being a witch.

Are you doing acu? Some people have said it helps to bring AF. I know the week I was supposed to start I was late and getting a little worried it would postpone things but I asked my acu guy to concentrate on areas for AF and she showed the next day. May not be connected but something to think about. Why is your belly so black and blue?? Have you tried applying pressure right after your injection? I've found that keeps my bruising to a minimum.

Holly- Welcome back from your holiday!

Sounds like it was a fab time and a good way to clear your head before jumping back into ivf!

Mrs B- You are quite the multi tasker on Friday aren't you??

I bet you can't wait to bring those snow babies back home!

Nimble- HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have a wonderful time in Lisbon. Good luck getting all your needles through the security check!!

Kandice- Great news! I'm so excited for you!!

And to answer your question. I think DH and I want to wait to find out. DH said to me once that there are far too few surprises in life and he thinks this is one of the greatest ones. I thought that was too sweet to argue with!

Anna- Yes, I am using the pen and I've been doing it in my leg. I heard not to use a heating pad on my belly and since that seems to help afterwards I chose to do them in my leg so I could heat. My dose is 150. Wonder how they decide what dose to start on if it's the first IVF?

I know my doctor is pretty conservative about overstimulating so maybe that's why I'm only at 150 and then she said depending on how my first follie scan goes she will adjust the dose accordingly. I hadn't been feeling much of anything at all but today I do feel pretty bloated. I hope it's because I've got some good follies growing in there!!

(((Jackie))) Sorry sweetie. I'm sure it feels like you just can't catch a break and that is totally frustrating so vent away if you need to!!! Like you said though at least you are starting BCP which means you are on your way. I hope the time passes fast for you and everything gets sorted out.

Nerms- Stimms are going ok and I wasn't feeling bloated until today. I definitely feel like my pants are a little snug today!!

I've been pretty good about drinking water and staying away from much else. My RE never told me how much I should be drinking daily. Did yours? I probably have about 4 16oz bottles of water a day, give or take. Good luck on your scan tomorrow!!

Nicki- Sounds like you are becoming a pro at sniffing!! We are all a bunch of IVF druggies and proud of it right?!

Sonya- Good plan…calling his mom to straighten him out!!! It is nice to have my mom here. It's nice to be babied every once in a while!!

Well, baby dust to all and I will check in tomorrow after my follie scan. Wish me luck!!

XO
Steph

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NIMBLE!!!!

katt · Post by **katt** » Tue Mar 06, 2007 10:06 pm

Steph, my RE also prescribed 150 and I'm doing IVF for the 1st time. I was told to do 14 days 150 and then u/s. I guess this is kind of an average, so don't worry, they'll stimm it accordingly. I had to do 3 more days with the same amount and then the trigger. EC is tomorrow morning and I hope to hear anything about the number of embies, etc. I only heard since about things which are not so super, except the lining which should be excellent (no idea about the numbers, it's just excellent and I'm happy with that). Hoping to get more positive news tomorrow.

Hello girlies...

I went for my scan today and i'm pleased to say that my lining is nice and skinny and so i start stimming infact the nurse got me to do it there and then which was a bit of a shock to my system! It wasn't too bad..did sting a bit though. So now need those follies to grow grow grow!

Jackie...i'm sorry to hear your news about the cyst...i hate this waiting game it's hard enough to wait when everything goes as planned let alone when there are hiccups, but as someone said if your drugs are just feeding the cyst then that's no good to you and at least it's not just waiting and you're actually taking something. Please vent here as much as you need to.

Shantala sweetie..all that worrying for nothing....i'm really pleased for you! Have posted to you on feb thread.

Steph...good luck for tmw...hope you have lots of nicely growing follies.

Mrs B....pleased to hear that lining is "perrrfect" that's great news...hope embies are ok tmw!

Holly....welcome back!

Sha..i def reccomend acu..helped me both times!

Nicky...you crazy girl..can't believe you actually don't mind the taste...the things were happy to put ourselves through to get a baby hey

Any DH wants laptop so i'm going to have to keep this short...

Nerms
