[baby_or_bust]

Donna ~ I just started my Estrogen this last weekend. They put me on pills and cream and I increase the pills in a few days. I have my next and final U/S on the 24th - then I will start the Progestone shots and cream as well. I am planning on transfering two - depending on how everything looks the day of. But my RE does a 4 day transfer and my embies are compacted morulas. So I am a little nervous about that. I think his clinic is the only clinic anywhere that does that.

There are some beta draws coming up. Good luck girls. I will be thinking of you all!

HI Girls,

Glad to see we are all slowing progressing here. Looks like Steph get us started tomorrow, so good luck on your beta! Wishing a BFP for you!!!!


My cycle dates have changed, I was pushed back 2 weeks due to a cyst on my right ovary that was spewing out estrogen. Now that little bugger has stopped so we are rolling. I am on CD 2 and started my estrogen patches yesterday. I forgot how much they mess with me, I am already having major hot flash attacks - ugh! My new dates are:

FET - December 4th!!!
Beta - December 14th ? - will update this when I know for sure! ( Being that I am a poas addict I will know sooner!)

Have a great weekend all and keep us updated Steph!

BFP!!!!!!!!
It is finally here...11 months $25k and about 100 HPTs. I could not believe it this morning....I took a digital one and it said pregnant and I did not believe it so I took another one and got 2 lines. WOW I never thought it would happen. This group is starting off strong I see a bunch of BFP in our future. Good Luck!!!!! Baby Dust to Everyone!!!!

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I have done 2 IUIs (Aug. & Sept. '07) so far, both negative. My partner and I have a baby boy who will turn 1 on 12/10. She is older (41) so she went first w/the pregnancy thing. I am 39. I am currently doing the 2 ww after my first (and hopefully only) IVF. I had my egg retrieval on 11/12 - 22 eggs retrieved. I had two embryos (8 & 9 cells) transferred on 12/15, after being diagnosed w/mild OHSS. Four embryos have been frozen. After the retrieval I was in a lot of discomfort (abdominal distention, bloating, etc.), but then things started to turn around on Wed., 11/21 and I felt somewhat better. Then, on Thanksgiving, the symptoms of OHSS got very bad again...severe discomfort, distension, trouble sleeping, etc., etc. Today it's been terrible. I am supposed to be getting my HcG blood test on Tues., but now it looks like they are going to do it tomorrow b/c I am going in for an ultrasound. I am SOOOOOOO scared. I cannot even begin to articulate the amount of fear I feel. I was emotionally preparing myself for Tuesday, not tomorrow. And this OHSS sucks, it really SUCKS. I am just so afraid, and I think my partner is sick of hearing me complain about my pain and discomfort b/c of the OHSS. It helps to read this forum since there are so many courageous women here who have endured so much and still continue to keep the faith.

Seltzer,

Good luck tomorrow and will be thinking of you. I am on my second IVF with a successful round the first time ( i have a baby girl). It does happen on your first so I will keep my fingers crossed.

Hi Sam,

Thanks for your encouraging words...I am waiting for my test results right now so it was nice to see. I went in this morning for an ultrasound & bloodwork. All I know at this point is that there was minimal abdominal fluid on ultrasound (a good thing). When is your Hcg test? It is so nervewracking. I will be sending positive (BFP) vibes your way.

Why did you go to IUI after having your first child through IVF?

seltzer.

[samandaw1]

Seltzer,

I went for IUI because my husband had surgery to help clear a block he had which made his sperm have low mobility and morph level. The surgery (we thought was successful) but as luck would have it...my eggs started taking a ose dive. My husbands sperm was still not up to par and with my eggs declining, it was my only real option. We went for IUI just as a hope. My husbands insurance covers IVF 90% but his insurance ends in a few months and then it will be out of pocket. Which is why we are in such a rush.

All else is good. My husband leaves tomorrow for three weeks so I am on my own for injections, ER, ET, and BETA testing. YIKES. I am responding well so I really should not complain. I think I am getting my ER this Friday.

Glad to hear yours is also going better. Try to remember that is out of your control and just try to flow with it. Eaiser said than done but living and breathing IVF is exhausting ( I know that first hand). Go to a movie or get some yummy ice cream!!

Love,

Sam

[seltzer]

I got my news today - it's a BFP! I am so thrilled!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here's to BFPs for Sam and everyone else on this forum.

[smattison]

Congrats seltzer!!!!

Bad news for me...it is ectopic and I am having to take the drug Methotrexate which desolves the pregnancy. It is a cemo drug and I will be sick. This suck after all this to only get let down again!!!

[samandaw1]

Stephanie,

I am so sorry, I can not imagine how you feel. Life just does not feel fair some days. Hang in there and do not give up hope.. You will get your baby and he/she will know how much effort, time, love was put into concieving her.

Take care of yourself

Sam
