Hi Everyone!
Wow, we certainly have good news on this site!
Kbat - Congratulations!!! I am so happy everything is set and you can start this cycle. It is so impressive that you stuck to your instincts and didn't let them convince you of anything else. I really hope this is the BFP cycle for you. Have a great birthday!
Jenis - Congratulations on your follicles! 10 is a great number! Good Luck on Thursday!
LB - Yeesh, it does sound like a lot of different meds for you. But, it looks like you will be done with some in just a week! That's great! I wish your follies lots of growth!
RunnerKate - Good luck at the RESOLVE meeting tonight. Please let us know how it goes and what it is like. I have been curious about those meetings but am nervous talking about the whole thing too.
Indie_Rad - I had to travel for my last cycle. I took one of those insulated lunch bags and had a frozen ice pack inside. At that point, I was doing Lupron and Gonal-F which both had to be refrigerated. The nurse told me that a couple ours out of refrigeration wasn't a big deal anyway, as that is just an extra precaution to minimize germs so this was more to be safe than sorry. I refrigerated everything when I got there. I hope you enjoy the trip!
Kyw - Welcome and Good Luck! Please keep us posted on how your ET goes tomorrow!
IrishHope - Congrats on getting AF and starting your stims! Good luck with that. The pens take a little getting used to but pretty much felt the same as Lupron. Neither bothered me much last time and I am hoping for the same this time. I hope all goes well for you!
And, thanks for the calendar. I obsess over that and keep using it as if it is going to change. I do hope for a November baby (or two)!!!
This has been a stressful day for us. DH had some issues with the clinic. Our DR had requested he bank twice before the ER day. This is an extra precaution as his count was pretty low last time. The clinic has been giving him a hard time, making him retake a bunch of blood work he had to do when we first started which is really frustrated as he is still quite bruised up from all the bloodwork done when he was sick. Then, today they said they couldn't book his next appt until they got the results for this one. That makes no sense. They were very rude asking why he would even be coming in to bank if he just had such a fever for 6 days and he should be checked out first. The DR had to be called and told them to proceed but I guess he wasn't very helpful. To top it off, DH ran into this woman he works with. She was asking all sorts of personal questions, asking to talk to me about this, and everything. He explained that this is a sensitive subject to us and that we don't even discuss this with our family and she proceeded to ask more questions. He couldn't do anything or go anywhere. It was really tough and puts him in a very awkward situation as his work doesn't know any of this is going on. It was a really rough morning for him. I feel awful for him as I know we wanted to keep this quiet and not have his co-workers talking about. UGH!!! Even typing it out makes me want to scream. I understand she probably wants to talk about this but I think she should respect others when they do not. Anyway, I just had to vent about that.
Good luck to everyone stimming or starting or just in the middle of it all!
Hang in there! We'll make it just fine!!
