Hello Bobo,
I remember you, I hope everything will go well this time. Like you said, only god knows when it is going to happen for you and we are here to cheer you up as well. Just keep us posted all the time!
The change in meds worked for me, as I was a low responder with the regular cycle. Just take care of yourself, rest a lot and be healthy.
Good luck on Friday!!! Wishing you lots of nice follies!!!!

Emily --- how is your cycle going? Are you still on Lupron? Have you started Menopur yet?

I am still resting a lot this week and if nothing happens this weekend, they will just schedule my c-section next week. I am scared but I cannot wait to look into my little babies' faces.

Love Lola

Hi there bobo - it's been a long time. I was excited to hear you're off to ER today! I'm wishing you the best of luck with this cycle- #3 was our lucky one so I hope it will be for you as well!

Emily - hope the cycle is going well. I figure you'll be starting stims any day now, huh? Grow follies grow!

Lola - I couldn't believe your post - c-section next week, woo hoo! It seems like yesterday we were doing our cycles. I'm so excited to hear how you're doing and to hear about your beautiful babies! Hope you're feeling well and hanging in there.

Wannababy - great to hear from you....whew, what a scary couple of days in the hospital, so sorry to hear. But, I'm glad you and the baby are doing well now and I hope you're resting and drinking lots of water.

Sam - you're so brave to take your first flight! I am really nervous about bf'ing, but I'm definitely going to do my best to try since I know how good it is for the baby. I'm going to ask you lots of questions, I'm sure!

Well, I'm still here in the hospital... amazingly I will have been here for 3 weeks on Monday - eek! I still have a few more weeks left, so not quite 1/2 way yet. I'm having another ultrasound next week to check on the size of the baby. Hopefully he or she is still growing strong and big. We're still planning to have an amnio at week 35 to see if the baby's lungs are ready and, if so, do an elective c-section soon thereafter! So, that's only about 3 weeks away - I can't believe it's almost here!

Take care everyone and have a good weekend!

hey there guys this is bobo's dh she asked me to let you guys know that there 3 embies transfered back. please keep us in your prayers. she wants lola to know that she will make it. she is her idol since she thinks that we have the same problem. it was a hard weekend for us. it did not looked so good on friday i had a major problem. the dr let us know that only a miracle would work. well, doc it did!!! we have step 1 in the back, now comes step 2 for them to implant. we have all the faith of our lord to help us. hopefully my wife will keep you advice. please pray for us thanks a million

Dear Bobo and Bobo's DH!
I will definitelly keep you in my prayers and I am sure things will work out this time. I had 3 embies transferred as well and they all took! But then one vanished and I now I am expecting twins. So I am sure at least one will take! Keep us posted. It is so exciting!


Suzhan --- hang in there, you only have a couple more weeks to go! Let us know about the amnio - lungs test. I had a choice to have it done, but I decided not to do it as it was not urgent in my situation.

I hope everyone else is doing great!

As far as me, I went to the dr. today and everything looks great with the babies, so it looks like they will let me go one more week (I am 36 weeks today) and if nothing happens, they will schedule my c-section for next week. (37 weeks is considered full term for twins). My little boy is 5 pounds 11 ounces and my little girl is 5 pounds 6 ounces. So maybe they are not that little anymore. They may reach 6 pounds by next week, if I don't start having contractions.

Good luck everyone! Lola

Hi everyone!

Hi bobo and bobo's DH! It has been a long time, so nice to hear from you. I'm praying for you and you your little ones. Sticky baby dust!

Lola, It's good that you get an extra week. Must feel like you are being teased though, huh? I'd be like "what do mean I have to wait another week!" Really though, the babies probably are benefiting from the extra incubation time. Sounds like their weights are very good too. Well I am on pins and needles once again, can't wait to hear about the birth. Wishing you a swift and easy delivery.

Suzhan, I'm always thinking of you. Hope you are able to keep busy somehow and time passes quickly for you.

Wannababy, hope you are doing well.

Emily, hope your cycle is progessing well. Hopefully you'll have you ER soon. Please keep us posted.

I'm doing good. Slowing down quite a bit. But my boys seem to be a pretty active team. They like to take turns kicking me. Sometimes I just watch my belly move as they push around, it's pretty entertaining. We're really busy this week. We are finally moving. I'm soooo ready to settle in now.

[bobo]

Hi All- Just wanted to let you know that everything is going well here. I went for day 6 yesterday and my E2 had gone from 202 to 746 and have around 20 follies. They have reduced my meds now from 7 vials of menapur a day to 4 vials. I know some won't continue to grow but it has been better than previous results (Remember last time I had empty follicle syndrome and they were only able to retrieve 3). I am still convinced that the new DR over stimmed me!

If all goes well my RE will be on the 4th of July and my transfer on the 7th. I asked which DR would be working next week and it is not the same one from last time. So, I was jumping for joy! The one doing it is awesome!

I am thinking of all of you and you are always in my prayers!
Thanks for your wonderful support!
Love-
Emily

I just found out that I am triggering tonigt and my RE will be on Tues. A day earlier than we thought. I guess those grow prayers are working! I'll keep ya posted!
Emily

[bobo]

hi golferswife good luck tomorrow wishing you the best of luck!!!! hope that everybody else is doing fine. i go in for pre. test on friday july 6

[Lola]

Bobo--- Good luck on Friday, I will be thinking of you! I remember how nervous I was when I had mine! Sending lots of baby dust your way!!!! Let us know right away!

Emily --- Wishing you all the best with the retrieval today and I hope everything will go well. Let us know how may eggs they retrieved!

Mia --- it was nice to hear from you again. After you move and settle down, start taking it easy and rest as much as you can so those munchkins can stay in your belly as long as possible.

I am scheduled to have my babies on Monday, July 9th. So if nothing happens until then, they will be born on Monday. They will be 38 weeks by then, which is great for twins. Most twins are born around 35-36 weeks. I am so ready. I have a lot of swelling and the babies are already around 6 pounds each, so I am feeling pretty heavy.

Good luck to all of you and I will write soon! Love Lola

Hi All - I just wanted to let you know that they were able to retrieve 12 eggs! I am so exicted and very optimistic!!!! Iam off to bed but will keep you all posted!
love-
Emily

Hi Ladies - It's been a long time since I've posted and so much has been happening and it's all been good! I can't believe how far all of you have progressed.

Emily - I wish you the best of luck. I am so glad that they were able to retrieve so many eggs. Just remember, all you need is one good one to stick. Here is plenty of very sticky baby dust to you.

Bobo - Good luck with your pregnancy test on Friday. Keep thinking happy, positive thoughts, I will be doing the same.

Mia - How are you feeling? You are past the 1/2 way mark. I am sorry that you have had a rough time with the move and everything. I think it is wonderful that your boys are as active as they are. Have you picked out names for them yet?

Lola - I can't believe you are scheduled for your c-section in less than a week. That is so exciting. I still remember when you first started stimming and look at where you are now. Your babies are doing great, I think they are a very good size. I will be thinking of you on Monday. Congrats on making it as far as you have.

Suzhan - Sorry to hear that you are on bed rest but in the end it will be so worth it when you bring home your bundle of joy. Does the doctor know what has been causing you to bleed?

Wannababy - Glad to see that you are doing well also. Hopefully you've been keeping yourself hydrated especially now since the weather has gotten so much warmer.

Sam - I can't believe that Sidney is over 8 weeks old. Hopefully the breast feeding has gotten easier.

As for me, I was in a pretty bad funk for quite some time. It took me a while to snap out of it but I was able to by distracting myself with home projects. There is always something that needs painting, fixing or reorganizing.

We are going to start our third round sometime next week. The RE did a bunch of tests on us to figure out why I keep miscarrying and wouldn't you know, they couldn't find a thing wrong with us. I was so hoping there was a reason but they weren't able to find one. So with this round we are going to have the PGD testing done. We are going to use the same protocol as the last time.

Sorry I've been away for so long. Glad to hear that everyone is doing well.

Have a good evening.
