MARCH-CYCLE BUDDIES

[MISSPIGGY]

Thanks Nerms

[sokru8]

Happy Anniversary Nick!!!

[nimble]

Congratulations on 3 embies going back in Amanda – that’s great news, although sorry to hear it was a painful retrieval, you obviously were just under a local? So now the 2ww, fingers crossed hun, and let it be another BFP!!

Happy belated Birthday as well

Sonya – wow, feels like you’ve only started stimming, EC possibly Wed that’s great news, sounds like we will be doing our 2ww together. How are you feeling now, have the shakes started to wear off yet?

Mama – you’re obviously a super folly grower too – sounds like next week is going to be a busy week for us all. Those numbers look really good and not surprised that you’re pleased. So when will you def know when you’re going in??

It doesn’t seem that my clinic tells me my numbers – although I’m sure if I asked they would tell me, they just said that they were where they should be.

To put yr mind at rest, I didn't find EC painful last time afterwards - do you know if you're under general or local??

Hold on there Yarnista – not long – any more bleeding ??

Jill – 6 is a good number – as everyone being saying to me, quality not quantity !!

Cookholmes – oh dear, however I’m sure that it must happen to them quite often! You poor thing, bet you didn’t know where to look!! How many embies did you put back in?

Nerms – had the call yet ? Don’t these clinic’s understand that our lives hinges on these phone calls – its like me yesterday, they said they would call at lunchtime and finally got the call at 4!! Unnecessary stress!!!

If we don’t hear from you, we will have to assume that you’ve been rushed in for EC.

Steph - one more sleep and Anna/Yarnista - 2 more for you - have everything crossed for you both.

Miss Piggy (love the name btw) - all set for tomorrow?

Rae - 12 wk milestone tomorrow - is all going well?

Not much from me, a bit bored today, can’t do much as we need to be here to do my last d/reg shot at 4.50pm and then have trigger about 6.50pm. Judging by that time, I must be one of the first in on Monday morning – no more menupor yeah!! And a day off needles tomorrow

I feel so bloated but it’s not been helped by the fact that I think I’m also blocked up (if you know what I mean)

Well off to mooch around the house !!

Hello my March buddies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sorry I have been disappeared for a couple of weeks, but work has been crazy lately and don't have time now to type much there, and when I get home I am sooooooooo tired, but I will try now to come more often, since I see that most of you are moving so fast!!!!!!!!!

First of all Steph good luck for tomorrow!!!, I will be thinking about you and wishing you a strong BFP!!!!...

Shantala...I am so sorry, I was really hoping for your BFP, but it will happen in your next cycle, I know it!!!

Rae...how is it going?, close to the 12wk mark?...that should be so great!!!

Nimble...your EC is almost here!!!!, wohooooooo!!..good luck on the trigger shot!!...and happy needle vacation day

Nicky...happy anniversary!!!!!....

PatientIVF....congrats on your ET...sending you lots of sticky baby dust!!!!!

Sonya...how are you feeling?..pin cushion?? ...you started your 4 shots a day today yet?.....

Jill...good luck tomorrow on your bw and scan!!, I hope those follies are growing faster now....grow follies grow...



Cookholmes....your ET story was hilarious!!!, on my ET on my previous cycle I also had to pee a couple of times before, I was lucky (or should I say RE was lucky) that I didn't pee on the table LOL ....good luck on your 2ww!!!

Nerms....did they call yet?.....good luck!!!

About me, well, I had my saline US on Monday, everything looked good except that at one point my RE said he thought he saw a septum in my uterus (septum is a wall that is a remainder from the embryologic development of the uterus) and he got me all scared, he had me take him my films from when I had the HSG done, so I did, he reviewed them yesterday and called me saying there in no septum....wheeeewwwwhhh
. I am starting Lupron tomorrow morning, I am already on my BCP's. And today I am going to have some blood drawn to have a kariotype done (where they see your chormosomes) to make sure everything is ok (because of my previous m/c).....so things are moving right along thankfully!!!!...

HAVE GREAT WEEKENDS EVERYBODY!!!!!

[yarnista]

Nimble. this morning I'm having heavier bleeding. I am so confused because I know they told me before I left after the transfer that it is possible it could happen and I could still have a BFP. Yet other people have told me that if you are taking progesterone then you can't get the dreaded AF. Anyways I'm just going to stay positive, keep busy and count my lucky stars that we have so much to be thankful for.

[smattison]

Good Morning Ladies...Just a quick one for one...personals later.

Melly-Where in Texas are you??? I am in Plano!

[kia1973]

hi all,

sorry just a quick one from me as my internet has been down all since last night, don't even know if this will post!!!!

Nimble - yes a good to go on Moday, trigger tonight at midnight wooooooo hoooooooo. got 6 follies on left side at 19mm and 4 on the right at 18mm. fingers crossed we should get some embies from them.

hi to everyone else i'm thinking of you all, its really getting to me not being able to check up on whats going on with everyone.

sha xx

[cookholmes]

Nimble, we transferred 2.

[nimble]

just triggered !!! Had a quick panic attack though - 2 powders and 2 waters and suddenley thought omg is it 1 water to 1 powder or 1 water to 2 powders you know when you know what you are susposed to do but then have second thoughts !! My poor clinic!!

Sha - great news about yr follies - shall think of you on monday. However I have to say I feel like I have triggered really early compared to last time. I know that they had to take into account the clock change but still..... guess they know what they are doing!

And that reminds me - UK girls - don't forget the clock change tonight - loose an hrs sleep

Off to do dinner

have a great evening

Thanks for asking, Nerms, Nimble and Vicky - I'm doing just fine physically, it's just my silly head that's doing me in... Yesterday I got this idea that the absence of symptoms must mean our baby had died a while ago, and of course that contributed nicely to my overall panic. Strange - now that I'm so close to the "important" milestone I'm actually more freaked than a couple of weeks ago. I guess it's the nightmares - no amount of PMA cannot help me get rid of those. But anyhow, on the surface all's well and once I get my 12 week scan done (Thu) I'll probably calm down if everything looks good .

Nerms, I was reading your post from today and my heart actually started racing a little bit too - I could just feel you there, sitting and waiting... It's so hard to explain this stuff to someone who hasn't been through it, but here I think sharing is so easy because there's always someone who'll instantly say they know exactly how you feel - and actually do too! So what was the verdict - ET today or not? Can't wait to hear about that!!!

Vicky, glad to hear that you didn't have a septum after all. I had one (well, it's not 100% gone even today) and that's what caused my previous m/c at 12w6d and forced me to have two surgeries to remove it. Not the worst abnormality you can have (because it's fairly fixable) but hey, who needs an obstacle like that

Nimble and Sha, congrats for triggering and good luck with your ECs on Monday!!!

Happy anniversary Nicky!

Melly - yes, whereabouts in Texas - I'm in Las Colinas?

...and I missed so many of you but gotta go, more some other day....

[melly]

To all those who want to know I'm in Katy TX.

I'm wishing all of you ladies nothing but the best for you and yours... sending you'll lots of baby dust your way!

Hey Girlies!
Hope everyone is having/had a great saturday!
Mamma: Holly Cow!! 30 follies! Good luck sweetie I hope they get them all!

Yarnista: Everything crossed for a BFP!

Jill: Great to hear you levels are coming up! Ahh the roller coaster ride! What a JOY!

Cookholmes: I laughed out loud about your transfer! I was the same way with my first one I had to go sooooo bad! I had them use a catheter to relieve some of the pressure right after because I knew I couldnt make it to the bathroom!

Nerms: Did you do ET today? Hope everything is ok! XOXO You could be right stress could be contributing to my blood sugar. If you saw the size of my butt right now you would know I dont often miss a meal!!

Nimbs: I know it seems like this cycle is going really fast! Thank God! I have nightmares about using to much of one shot or not enough of another! HAPPY NO SHOTS DAY! I am jealous!

Vicky: I wondered where you ran off to! Glad you are back! I am on the 4 shots! I am sooo bruised at this point! Oh well its worth it! What a huge scare for you! Glad it turned out ok. Hope everything goes ok on the chromosone test.

Rae: Only a couple more days! You can do it! Cant wait to hear your great news on Thursday!

As for me! I am now on 4 shots a day! It is really hot here today(80f/ 26c) and I have Estrogen rushing through my veins so my dh and decided to plant some spring flowers! Just so we could stand on our front lawn and argue like rednecks in front of our neighbors!! Ahh the joy! I told him he may want to stay at my moms house because I am hormonal and he insists on not seeing things my way!! How rude! It like poking a tiger through the cage!

Love to all
Sonya

Hello every one. I've got to do a HPT on March 31st after my first round of IVF and I wondered if it was too late to join your group.

Feeling horribly alone and jittery about test. Every day seems like a year.

So pleased I found this message board.
