good luck meggs on your tww. that was the hardest part for me...well really the first couple of days laying around. i'm not one to sit. Congrats everyone on their BFP's. looks like we should be going to Mays landing NJ, twins on the first try. congrats. ICSI girl, good luck w/round #2. hoping it works for you. i'm waiting for a call from re to see when i can start next fresh cycle. hopefully soon. Has anyone heard anything more from julianne? if been reading the posts here and she was due to get her beta yesterday, but had seen if she's heard from her re yet? just curious if it worked out for her.

I'm from Los Angeles. Waiting to see how my embies are doing. 26 retrieved from donor, 20 fertilized, praying that they are developing nicely for blast transfer this Friday. Hoping for success this time around. Lost my baby girl in October to a genetic disorder and my life has been hell ever since. I'd love to be able to fill her nursery with life again and I know she'd love a little sister or brother or BOTH! Praying for lots of BFPs for all.

Sadly, last I read from Julianna was her belief that it was a BFN based on her urine test. I never heard whether her Dr. reported beta numbers. Still praying for her.

Good luck Meggs1012

I'm from Utah and am in the dreaded 2week wait. We did 5 day tranfer 2 grade 2- embroyo's on September 5th. My Test date is September 17th and it can't come fast enough. This is my first IVF cycle.

[singinglullabies]

I am from "Good Ole Nashville TN" originally -- but as of the last couple months a transplant in MI the State of the Great Lakes...

But the last few days been on the planet Mars, still may be somewhat, due to my IVF cycle being cancelled....

But the good news IS -- I'm holding up, and pushing forward see me marching on...

[chewy017]

Good luck and lots of sticky baby dust to all of those awaiting their results. singing...why was your cycle canceled? that has to be tough, but maybe for a good reason and you'll soon be on your way to a BFP!!

They say the reason was my uterus linning was to thick, long story so needless to say I am no longer with/at that clinic way to many red flags -- listened to heart and gut and moved on to new RE, have my first appt with them next Thursday....

Odd part the day b/f my lining was to thin via u/s, and next day u/s again to thick, the day it was thin they seen a polyp, talking stopping all meds do surgery, next day at u/s it was to thick seen NO polyp...

This is just a small part of the reason I left that clinic. Sure it is an excellent clinic for most, it just was not the one for myself and DH.....

Did I miss anyone? I hope not...but really, I hope so!

Hey - What side effects have you all been feeling with the Prog. shots? Anyone doing HCG boosts..wonder if they really help?

[chewy017]

I never really had any side effects from the shots except my butt is really sore, even weeks after. I'm not sure if we hit a nerve or what but all the way down my cheeks are tender, slowly starting to get better though. Been off the shots for almost two weeks . Really is ironic how sad you are not taking the shots because you know it didnt work and got BFN. Never had to do HCG boosts, not really sure what they are either. Well thank god you got two. Hopefully you'll have twins. Lots of sticky baby dust for you. Congrats on everyone with their BFP's. Does give the rest of us a lot of hope.

I'm here in Newtown Connecticut. This is our second try at IVF and as most of you know we got our BFP! RE switched my protocol this go round to me being on lupron for almost a month before hand. Then ovidrel for the trigger shot, last time it was lupron for the trigger. This time I did accupuncture and changed my eating/exercise, lost 25lbs before this cycle. The only down side of changing my protocol was it made me develop OHSS. I'm having less pain now than earlier in the week, still a lot of fluid. I had accupuncture yesterday to try and help alleviate some of the fluid.
Just had my second beta drawn this morning will let all of you know what it was. Thanks for all the support.
