Jan/Feb 08 Cycle Buddies

[cornybaby]

Lovebug - I'm so glad we're on the same schedule. I will for sure post Monday...you do the same. As for the transfer, it will likely be a 3 day because with only 6 follies, odds are we won't have enough to grow them out to 5. But, if I had my choice, I would do a 5 day. Oh well...people get BFP on 3dt all the time. Glad to have you as my 2ww buddy.

hi gals- just checking in- been having a good few days, think i got my 1st food aversion- ick- the smell made me throw dinner away!!!
it was pasta with vodka sauce- and the sauce was just so nasty smelling (I usually love it!)

JCW- so sorry about your news - know that I am thinking about you and wishing you much baby karma for your next cycle - don't give up hope

mia- my dh was not overwhelmed at first either- think he was just being extra cautious as if he was as afraid to get excited about the news as i was- it's really taken this whole week to start to feel confident about my BFP- we're just taking it as it comes, but- i did get a very excited Mom when i told her!

see you all on the other list!!

Sage, Aims, Kerpupples

how are you doing with the 2WW? I think we are all testing around the same day since we did ET the same day. I don't think I will be able to wait past the 23rd without doing a HPT. I am going to try but failure is lurking. They say if you had a trigger of 10,000U it will take about 14 days for it to be out of your system. So, 14 days is the night of the 21st. I figure the 23rd is not a bad compromise!

How about you? Are you determined to make it to your blood test or are you already considering testing?

[waitingforMia]

Marin: Try and wait till the 22nd - ( or get two one on the 21st one on the 22nd )

Loopie: Yeah dh was just in shock. So many years trying and then BAM I am pg!! No ffod aversions for me - and I am also peeing a lot less. less cramps - so really the only symptom is a bloated belly and gas!

Corny and love: Good luck on MOnday!!! One more day pg free

RBjean: the last 2 days were horrible for me - so brace yourself - I was driving myself crazy wantong to know!!

Tammy: what a nightmare!! So sorry you are haivng these probs. But the good side was you got to see your bean!!!!

kyw: I know what you mean about so many bfns - when I POAS - and I saw the two lines for the first time I had to go back and look a hundred times!!! Hope you get yyour BFP this time!!

It has sunk in for dh - is treating me very nice and he is excited - even started talking about which room will be the baby's room We went to a baby store today so I could just browse at all the stuff I am so excited. I hope this thread keeps up will the reputation of all these bfps!!!

Hey Marin,

I thought that the trigger shot was out of your system after 10 days??? I am planning to do a HPT. I am supposed to go to visit a friend this weekend, and DH is going to be away Monday night..so I was thinking Friday...the 22nd I think.

I have a cold! Ironically I never get sick (teach kindergarten and have immune system made of steel), and got sick while on bed rest away from kids! I don't want to take anything, so I am suffering right now! I figured that implantation should be starting today and continuing for the next few days, but I don't feel anything yet. Do any of you? My bbs are sore, etc. but I am sure that is related to the meds.

Hope you are all doing well!

2WW girls: Stay strong and don't POAS! It is much better to know for sure good luck! and remember everyone is PUPO!!!

[loopie]

Sage- i was sick with flu and an awful cough day after transfer for about 3 days and wound up with a BFP!!! hope you're feeling better asap- hang in there on the 2ww- it sucks- i finally poas, but only 1 day prior to beta

corny- i'm still not sure what the difference really is between 3dt and 5dt, but my REs seem to usually do 3dt with much success, and i am no exception!!!!! good luck with ER!

jomae- hoping for great beta numbers tomorrow- i'm sure it will be perfect!!!

love and baby karma

Marin/Sage - The 2WW really sucks. I'm not very patient. I want to do an HPT, but I've seen so many negative ones I'm not sure. My beta test isn't scheduled until the 26th. The only side effects I've had are sore bbs and some cramping since 1dpt. Oh and really tired.

[wishuluck08]

Hi Gang been away for a while.

TammyS - Feel better - How was your blood pressure?

Rio - My first u/s will be on 2/22 - Initially the nurse told me my first u/s would be on 2/19 but due to Monday holiday she advised me I had to schedule for Wednesday, Thursday or Friday because they were over booked. I've decided to have another 3 day weekend and besides Friday was better for dh.

I didn't get a chance to share my stick story.

I had an old unused PT from a few years ago. So I avoid testing until the day of my beta. I pulled the pt out of the drawn and realized the expiration date on the pt was Jan. 2008 so I didn't feel to bad about using it. My though process was - well I didn't want to waste money. I've never gotten a positive PT. I didn't tell dh what I did until after the BFP from the beta.

I'll take my spanking now!!!! OUCH

Me: I had some spotting on Friday - I was nerves as heck - DH & I were away so I ate dinner, took a shower and went to bed. I woke up and no more spotting. Thank God. I was told that spotting is normal.

[jomae]

Hi Girls
i got my beta today 577 which is great seeing our clinic wants to see anything over 50 so i think my little embie is settleing very well

Thanks again JOMAE

[kyw]

Jomae - Congratulations again that is fab news!!


Marin/Sage/Aims Am alittle ahead of you I think on the 2ww. I go for my beta on the 22nd. To be honest I don't feel a thing except sore boobs and my ovaries are still a little tender.
No bleeding tho - just the discharge from the progesterone pessaries - yukk!

Thinking of you all

Karen

ps still not POAS

[keita1981]

I got the medications i'll be using. i start lupron on the 21st of this month. So hopefully you all w/ the bfps will still be here to help. anyway, i just want to know how much did you all pay for the follistim pen w/ or w/o insurance. so far my drug cost is about 200-500 bucks...estimation. so I just wanted to know. thanks in advance.

[Love Bug]

I am back from my ER...19 eggs!!! I am so excited. I will get my phone call tomorrow to see how many fertilized, but the DR. said they all looked good!!!

Keita: I am blessed with AMAZING insurance, whi covers everything at 100% except for meds. I paid $75.00 for all my meds. I think they covered 95% of them. We had to move to NY, and change my jobs because we would have never afforded any of this on 2 teacher salaries in FL.


Cornybaby: Good Luck! I was thinking about you today!!

Baby Dust!!!!

[weezie]

Jomea-what a fantastic beta!!


To all you 2WW'ers- be strong. Don't POAS! Just remember, you are all....


Mia- I am still so excited for you!

Tammy- I hope you are better!!!!

LoveBug- How wonderful! I bet you are soooo happy. Can't wait to get that fert report tomorrow!! Now take it easy today.

I will travel back to houston Thursday to hopefully rule out an ectopic pregnancy. I've been so worried. I just keep thinking about the two little beans I saw on the u/s Saturday. I cried most of today. Thursday can't come soon enough. Sometimes I wish I would have never told the nurse and RE about my pains.

[waitingforMia]

Weezie: Hun I am so sorry you have ot go through this. Do you still have pains??? I am so on your side routing for the two beans!!!!
