Sticky baby dust to all!!

As we start approaching more conclusive dates, I thought we can start gathering more stats in an organized manner - I saw something similar on another board, which was really cool!
Please let me know if this is repetitive or a bad idea...

If we decide to go with it, we can be responsible for updating on our own or nominate someone? After we gather this we place people in Leages, ie. Calling AF..., BCP Beginners, Lupron Limbo, Stimming, Between ER and ET, 2 week waiters, Cancelled cycles

Hi ladies~ still on the trial - still struggling to keep up. I only have a few more trial days left though. (However, funny side story....today I have a taco salad from Taco Bell for lunch. Anyway - we went back into the court room, there was some one on the witness stand being examined and my tummy started to gurgle. I am to raise my hand in the air and ask for a recess, but then I was afraid to stand up....I wasn't sure I could make it to the bathroom. Once I did make it to the bathroom, I had to use the one in our jury room - which you can hear everything. Needless to say, I am so embarrassed, but cleaned out. )

Ingrid....I think this is a great idea. I will post below:

This Sunday I start Lupron and I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My accupuncturist said that all her patients are BFP this month!!!! She did mention that June was not such a good month for BFP. Maybe something in the air!

We will have June babies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Donnell - I got it now, I didn't realize you were not on Lupron. How's the weather out your way? It's been pretty crazy here in Chicago, we don't know exactly what to expect anymore!

Archana - I know your weather is good all the time - huh? We are all thinking and feeling PMA for you and eachother!!! How are the stimms going? Let me know how the Lupron went, do you administer your own shots? I saw that board you are referring to... I looked for anyone who is cycling at the same time as us, doesn't seem like anyone is cycling exactly at the same time on any board!

Crystal - Looks like you are coming up for injections too! Did you receive all your meds yet? Wow, our kitchen and fridge look like a pharmacy!

Rachel - where are you???

A Big Hello Friends!!

Can't wait to tell ya all an update on myself - I had my E2 test today and the count was 38 which is pretty normal. I started with Gonal F 225 units and Menopur. Last time I was given Follitism (Recagen), this time it has been replaced by Gonal with a higher dosage (last time it was 200 units).
Another change in the plan, my transfer is week earlier now i.e 9 or 10 sep. Ladies, pl pray for me that my DH reaches here on time.

Ingrid - Hey dear, congrats on starting with Lupron! its shot doesn't hurt much. Its funny but its true that everyday I drive down to my clinic to take shots (its 10 km away). Since I am not working here in India, this becomes an excuse for me for moving out of the house and moreover I love people at my clinic...they all have become my friends. Ya , the weather is lovely here...though its bit hot during the daytime but morings and evenings are very pleasent. (20-28 degree celsius)

Yeah!! yuppie!!!!! ...we are going to have June babies...my DH is also June born.

Donnell - How r u doing , dear? In the last post you were mentioning abt some jury...wat is it?? Is it some counselling session? And don't worry we all land ourselves in some knd of embarressing situations...what matters is how bravely one confronts it!! I think u were quite brave!!!

Crystal....where r u dear?? busy with Lupron shots, huh??
PMA PMA PMA TO ALL
STICKY DAZZLING BABY DUST TO ALL!!!

[lace7725]

Hello ladies ... sorry I have not posted in a while. It has been so busy.
Well I went to my first acupuncture appt today and tonight I start my first shots - Lupron! I am not nervous at all - just excited to start the process. I am so thankful I do not have to do any intramuscle shots for this cycle! )

Thank goodness for you ladies!!! )

BABY DUST all around!

[sonu911]

Hello friends!!

Christin - Good job, dear!! Everyone's cycle is so clear now.

Lace - No intramuscular now...but later during stim...yes!! anyway, welcome back...accept lots of baby dust coming your way.

2nd day of stim went off well...I still drive down to my clinic to take these shots.

Lots of PMA and BABY DUST to all my buddies!!

[albany07]

Archana - you are sooooooo lucky!!!!! I wish I could have a nurse administer all my shots! I want to live in INDIA!

I read about someone washing their clothes in baby detergent, washing themselves with baby soap and shampoo I bet this helps with PMA too!!!

I think it's great you are on the Gonal-F! That seems to be our protocol here exept for higher dosing! I start with 225 all the way through.

Positive thoughts! Positive attitude! I have a feeling everyone will be walking away with BFP's!!! PMA, PMA, PMA, PMA....

Sticky baby dust to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lace7725]

Actually I called my doctor's office the other day and she said that I will not be doing any intramuscle shots at all ever. So YIPEE! I have to take (shots) Lupron, Follistim, & Menopur. And of course the hCG shot. And all of those are done with insulin needles.

I did it last night 1st time and NO big deal at all. I did not even feel it!!! Trust me i am a sissy. hehe

I am off for the weekend for a family get together. Enjoy your weekends!

Hi. My name is Christie and I am doing my first IVF/ICSI. I started the Lupron today and I had my preop with the doc. I can't believe I've finally started the injections. I'm so excited and want to say good luck to everyone.
