Dec/Jan 08 Cycle Buddies

[colesmom]

laglenik, Sorry can`t be of much help. I am as well on menopur, but only use 1a day. Although I am a fast responder. As fare as the hepran I believe it it to prevent clotting. I am on pill that helps in some of the ways I think hepran does. I am sorry to hear that the shotis so painful. I think the menopur burns. I pinch a smaller part of the skin a little harder. That seems to numb it a bit more :wink

Washingtona and DH, Rest up. glad to hear all went well. PRAYERS!

Schel- Can you please tell me how to post a picture (.jpg file)?

It's easy. Go to http://photobucket.com/ join or register (it's free), upload your photos into the album, copy and paste image code in message forum. Viola!

Ps. I don't know about resizing, but I think if you create an avatar of your photo it shrinks it to size.

Esperanza, washingtonda, and princessB,

I pray your babies stick, and continue to grow........welcome to your 2WW!



Grow embies Grow!!!!

Neffi- I was on menopur and it does burn. I always dreaded that one. I was also on two vials. I ended up getting 13 eggs retrieved and 10 fertilized. I didnt have much cramping until further along in stimming. I think its because your ovaries start to enlarge because of all the eggs.

I received frustrating news this morning. I went for my Day 5 b/w and u/s and the Dr. told me there were only 3 follicles now (there were 8 follicles on Saturday). Two of the three follicles are above 10mm and one is below 10. She said they were going to cancel my cycle b/c "they can do better" and that they must have suppressed me too much. I asked if increasing the meds would cause more follies to appear with this cycle. She said they would increase my meds today (they are calling later with the increased dosage and estrogen level) but that they would most likely be canceling the cycle on Wednesday. I asked her when the next cycle would start (being that I lack patience and want to get started ASAP) and she said they would give me provera to start my period and start the new cycle immediately. Has anyone had these results and still been able to see more follicles after increasing the meds?

Hi lovelies!

Here I am posting from my bed in the 2 ww!!!! I can't believe I have the precious one inside of me This process is so long, but sometimes it feels like time just flew by (maybe I prepared myself psychologically to wait so much more!). Our transfer went well. We only transfered 1 beautiful emby. They will send us a letter letting us know how many they got to freeze (I think we still had 12). We didn't ask questions about quality, etc. The doctor wrote in our form that they had transfered an "expanded blast." The doctor and the nurses were awesome, that was SO helpful because it put dh and me in a very good mood.

It was so quick, painless, and (they made it seem) effortless, although we know there is so much that goes into it. We have a pic as well. I'll post it when I get myself to scan it Right now is sitting next to our favorite wedding picture in our living room.

We are having a huge snowstorm, and I feel so bad for dh that has to shovel by himself...he's out there right now


PrincessB--So good to see you back! we are both in the 2ww

andnichole--NOOOO! I feel for you. Let us pray that the meds start kicking in and they don't cancel your cycle. I'm rooting for you hun.

WashingtonDA--how're you doing? I'm resting as much as I can. In a way it feels good to be forced to rest, I'm usually go, go, go!

To all my ladies stiming I didn't feel crampy until the end (mostly on my left side), at the beginning I was feeling great, then I started to feel bloated, finally some pain, AND I was a high responder, I only stimed for 7 days total, then they had to stop it because it was too much.


I want to say

It means so much to me to have your support. I haven't told many people. I can count it with the fingers of one hand, so it feels awesome to have your support. Sending lots of LOVE and PMA.


Princess, Tali, and WashingtonDA we are PUPO!

esperanza,

Glad you're transfer went so well! Were you able to see it on the screen?
When is your test?

For the first few days I was scared to even cough. lol

[Angel505]

Hi ladies,

From the update I read, congratulations are in order for a number of ladies here on this thread. That is wonderful news and gives me some hope. Take care of yourselves and the little ones.

I was devastated and just about trying to get back to the routine things. I've been operating on auto mode all this time and breaking into tears for no reason. Well, we've decided to go for the next cycle end of this month. Hopefully AF arrives on time and doesn't get messed up after our failed cycle.

Sorry don't have time to do personals.

Hello to all my wonderful momma's. Thanks so much for all the love and prayers. Above is a picture of my beautiful babies. When my fiance posted yestreday, we forgot to mention that they had to do Assisted Hatching with the embryos. Doc said that these were really good embryos so we are both anxious and excited. We transferred two.

Schel -- Thanks for telling me how to post the pic. Hope all is well with you and your little one. Good luck this week.

PrincessB -- Glad you joined. Please let us know if you are having any symptoms yet and if so what are they. Just wanted something to look forward to. I'll have many more questions before my test date on the 24th.

Esperanza -- Glad things went well for you also my 2WW buddie and queeen. I am pretty much doing the same as you. Resting up and giving orders (smile).

Blonzella -- Where are you? This is your week. Good luck with ER.

All Prego Momma's- Continued success.

All Stimming Momma's - Hang in there, you'll get there.

All Waiting Momma's - Your chance is coming.

All of US 2WW - MUCHO Baby Dust!!Baby Dust!!Baby Dust!!

Our board has grown so much that if you miss a day or two, you've missed it.

I hope I got everyone but if I didn't my heart and prayers are with you all.

Quick Question? Keeping in mind that I had a 6 day blast, when might prenancy symptoms start to surface. I read with blast transfers, the emryos usually implant between 1-3 days after transfer. I know this is premature but I wanted to know.

[washingtonda]

NOTE:

The spots on the photos are media solution because I think they wash the embryos before transfering them. This photo was taken right before our transfer was done.

[PrincessB]

Washingtonda- The only thing I feel so far is cramping. I've been cramping since the day of the transfer though. i have really swollen Ovary's from all the meds so my doctor said that I would have cramping for a while.
My bb's are a little sore but i hear that's from the progesterone? Anyone else have any symptoms or any of you that got your BFP did you have cramping?

I'm thinking of you all!

[washingtonda]

PrincessB - I have had small amounts of cramping here and there but I have been pretty much having them since late in my stimming process so it's hard to differentiate the two. I've had the sore breast, I've head the headaches all this since stimming.

I guess it's just hard to really know one way or the other until you test. Do you pan to POAS. I promised myself I wouldn't so I plan to try and stick to that. No since when you still wouldn't know for sure whether you are or aren't with those test.

I would probably only frustrate myself more.

Esperanza -- Are you also starting to look for symptoms too. I know it is wayyyyyy to early but I guess it's just nature to think that there may be something happening already (hehehe).

[PrincessB]

I promised myself I wouldnt test. But i've started getting really anxious the last few days and considered it. But i dont think it would work with me. I'm testing only 8 days past 5 day transfer so it seems like they are already testing me pretty early. I bet a hpt wouldnt show that soon?

I just try to remind myself, there's no reason why it shouldnt work. We had good embies, the tranfer went well, I did best rest for 48 hours and just took it easy since. It's still really frustrating. I think it's consuming me right now. It's all i can really think about.
