JULY/AUGUST Cycle Buddies- Come Join the Fun

[Julieboo]

"Harry Potter" was great. I loved it. I'm such a geek about these books/movies. I'm going back for IMAX/3-D.

I had a follie count today, and things are going smoothly. Because of my PCOS, we're taking it slow. I've got lots of little follies, but about 10 that are in the 9-11 mm range. My E2 growth has slowed a bit too.

Hopefully things will continue to develop well. I don't want to be cancelled!

Hi ladies just checking in to see how everyone is doing. As for myself I am fine Lupron injections are fine ( i think my DH should have went to medical school hes a great stick )... I am waiting for AF to start the next step should be here in the am i will keep you all posted.


Keisha HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY...... How are you feelING?

Tracey ---Did you do you retrival yet?

LOTS OF BABY DUST TO EVERYONE.........

[pequele]

happy birthday hello kitty!!! sounds like you have a wonderful guy!!!

less than 24 hrs til my 1st appointment!!!!! so excited and so scared!!! I have made the decision to stop my b/c tonite. that way if i get the go ahead tomorrow I can get AF her earlier and hopefully be on my way sooner! If she says no keep going a bit longer I can just play off the I forgot a pill and pick right back up....hope it is the first!!

any idea what I should ask at my first meeting?

Good Luck at your consult Pequele.

Thanks for your good wishes everyone. I had the ER yesterday - thanks to heavy sedation I dont remember any of it. The doc was delighted to get 9 eggs of which we found out later, 6 of them were mature. I had quite a lot of pain last night and this morning but paracetamol has helped. Got some not so good news this morning. Of the 6 only 2 have fertilised. I know that we only need one to be successful but it is hard not to be disappointed. I am now paranoid that they will perish before transfer. Things have been so good and easy up til now. I now understand the reason it is called the IVF rollercoaster.

If you are religious, please say a prayer that the two little embies grow, if not, please just think positive thoughts for us!

I hope you are all well and look forward to your updates!

I have been going awhile but I am back. I have been having terrible headaches with the Lupron.

How is everyone? I need to go back and read the posts but I hope everyone is on schedule. I start my stims tomorrow.

[LisaPa]

Tracey,

Both you and your embies are in my prayers........Hope you are feeling better.

HI ladies


Went to RE this morning and everything looks good so far
I am starting my Follistim tonight 300 iu every day....She is going to call me monday to see if i have to adjust the Lupron... If all continues to go as planned she is planning to trigger on mon or tues 7/23 or 7/24 with a retrival being around 7/25 or 7/26.. I am soooooo Happy things are going right on target lets hope and pray it stays this way. Thats the update with me also 15 DAYS SMOKE FREE AND FEELING GREAT.........I went down to the lower dose of the patch today....

How is everyone else doing?

Tracey any news on your embies how are you feeling?????

Lisa Wow we are on the same schedule THATS GREAT ...hOW ARE YOU DOING ?

Pequele How did the consult go? Keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Keisha How are you feeling?

Julie- What is the Follie count?

BABY DUST TO ALL

[cwrj00]

Hi
I hope you are all well!

As of 11:45 today I have my only two little fertilised embryos back where they belong. The transfer was a little uncomfortable but It was amazing to watch the catheter on the u/s screen. When you have your transfer make sure you watch for the white flash as the embryos leave the tube!
The embryologist said they were two perfect little embryos with no fragmentation which I guess is good!?

It seems surreal that I am now walking about with two little embies who might just develop into little babies, in my stomach!

And so begins the two week wait. I oficially test on 28th July which is actually already a big day for my DH and I as we are renewing our vows on that day (10th Anniversary). Can't decide if this is a good coincidence or not!

We have all been quite quiet. Is everyone doing OK? LisaPA, good luck with the follitism tonight!

Oh Carolyn how exciting!! Happy baby dust to you!!!

I had my consult yesterday. AF should be here tomorrow then I am supposed to have bloodwork day 2-3. Physical exam wasn't yesterday only because if she can do it next month along with a couple other tests she may be able to get it under the radar for my insurance to cover. Then hopefully after the next AF I can start IUI!!!! Either that or I will have to wait til SEPT and I'd only have 2 tries before I want to stop and wait til I change jobs...so wish me luck that AF #2 doesn't arrive early and screws up my exam!

Good Morning Ladies,

I got my last u/s and my cycled has been cancelled. I'm totally gutted. I wish you ladies all the best and BFP for everyone. I need to have a little pity party for myself.

Smooches,

Keisha

[LisaPa]

Hi ladies,

I started the follistim lastnight getting ready for my 2cnd dose now Just checking in. Hope everyone is well


Keisha ---Sooooooo Sorry to lost this cycle....Your in my thoughts and prayers for your next time around.............

[Julieboo]

Lisa, congrats on the 15 days! That's over two weeks! Way to go.

Tracey, congrats! I hope those little embies are hanging on tight. Keep us posted on how much the 2WW sucks.

Pequele, good luck!

Keisha, I'm so sorry to hear that your cycle has been cancelled. Why did they cancel it? To many follies? Too few? You're in my thoughts for the next time around.

I've got quite a few follies growing. About 10 or so in the 12-14 mm range (and then loads of little ones just waiting to mess up my cycle). They're cooking me slowly because of the PCOS. I've had my meds changed up a few times to stave off my increasing E2 levels. The past few days, my E2 has dipped, so they're now upping my meds.

I hope I don't get cancelled (they've mentioned the C-word a few times due to my wonky levels). I've been going in there every day for the past week, my legs are bruised from the shots, and it would all just feel like a colossal waste of time and effort. Keisha, my heart seriously breaks for you.

Good luck to everyone! Just tryin' to stay somewhat positive over this way.

OK - so I rec'd my box of meds over the weekend (ordered from Freedom Fertility - is who my RE's office uses).......and can i just say i'm a bit overwhelmed?????? so many bottles of this/that and all the packages of different size needles and this needs to be refrigerated and that will only be used if.......AAAAHHHHH!!! A little freaked out.... i have appt on 7/18 to get first dose of depo lupron.....dh is coming w/ as he is going to learn how to give all injections (YEAH that i won't have to do it)... as schedule stands right now - procedure week schedule for week of aug 6.....

TRACEY X ---- YEE-HA!!!! will be keeping all fingers & toes crossed for ya......and WOW on the 10th anniversary/PG Test date!!!

KEISHA ----- sorry girl just not meant to be this time around..... eventhough i'm new to all this --- you've really got a great support network here....TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT!!!

[ICSI GIRL]

Julieboo --- in my last post -- also meant to congratulate you on your progress! do you have a tentative procedure week as of yet??

ALSO --------- Lisa meant to tell you that I too am smoke free just as of July 1st.......so I know EXACTLY what you're going thru! I did the cold turkey thing.....just quit!! Hardest part for me is dh still smoking... although am pleasantly surprised at how little that has affected me

[LisaPa]

Hi ladies ,

ICSI girl --Congrats on the no smoking.. It does get easier as the days pass the 1st week was the hardest for me. GOOD LUCK

Keisha I wrote the wrong name a few posts back once again I AM SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR CYCLE.. YOU ARE IN MY PRAYERS....
