Dec/Jan 08 Cycle Buddies

Kimbers -- I did Menopur and Bravell protocol. I stimmed for 11 days before my retrieval. I reacted very well to the meds. I had 19 eggs, 14 fertilized, 9 lasted until day 5, transferred 2 very good blasts on day "6" and I'm now 9 1/2 weeks pregnant with one little jumping baby.

Esperanza -- I am still her my dear friend. I had gotten so behind on post that I feel like I sorta lost track. I do read everyday just don't post as much. Staying awake here lately is a challenge (smile). So have you got you protocol for your FET yet?

Ms G -- Thank God for AF....I'm wishing you so much luck this time because you certainly deserve it.

As for me, I had my last clinic appointment on Monday and the baby was doing fabulous. The RE had me turn my head to the right when he was doing my U/S and asked me to cough. I coughed and that baby did his dance. It was so funny. He said he knew it would do that that's why he asked me to cough. My DH wanted me to just keep coughing so he could just watch. He is so ecstatic about all this that he can't see straight. He is 45 with no kids and never thought he would ever have any so this is a dream come true for him. Don't want you'll to get jealous but I have been having dinner in bed every since we started the 2ww (hehe). I think if he could breathe for me right now he would (smile). I have my first appointment with my regular OB on March 7th.

Andnichole -- I am done with the clinic. They are sending me to a Dr. Sweeney (High Risk Doc) for my Nuchal test. That appointment is March 18th at 1:30pm. This docs office is near the Shady Grove Annapolis Office so they may send you to a doc that is closer to the Frederick Office. Please let me know when your test is and what doc you see.

Everybody else -- Good luck to all.

Schel--Where are you?

Kimbers- i had a follistim and menupur protocol, but no lupron. Sorry I couldn't help.

Mrs G and Amy- Congrats on the arrival of AF, I bet you have never been so happy to see that!

Washingtonda- Congrats on "graduation" from the clinic. I had my nuchal test last week. It was just a belly u/s, but you had to go with a full bladder and the lady was pushing hard on my tummy. It took the baby a half an hour to get in the right position. She made me cough to in order to try and get movement.

Esperanza- Are you a reality tv junkie like me too? Or just an idols fan? I have been watching...do you have any favorites yet?

I went for my second ob appt. today. Everything looks fine, all my first bloodwork was fine. They did a quick u/s and I could see it moving again. The u/s wasn't really good though, b/c it was belly, I got spoiled by vaginals at the re's office, you can see so much more that way. 2 more appts until I can find out boy or girl. Now I have to wait 4 weeks for another appt, it seems like so far away when I am used to almost every week.

I hope everyone else is doing well...have a good night!

Michelle--have you been reading my facebook page???? reality shows junkie...right here!!!!! oh my God, I'm telling you, I must be the worst Doc student around

It's a guilty pleasure. I tend to look at them with a critical eye and awareness but I can't stop watching AND I find them sooooooo entertaining, hehehhe. I must say though, some are really bad...I have my limits

American Idol is fun, fun, fun. I usually watch the auditions and then I tune back again towards the end, but this season I am hooked, I've been trying to follow up every week. I have a few favorites, about 3 women and 3 men.

Ok, so the moon must be in an interesting position today because I got AF too! (of course, not as exciting as with Amy and Mrs. G, but still exciting). I went to my RE's office today and everything went well

I sort of have my protocol, it's pretty simple (comparing to a fresh cycle). I start tonight with a pill called Estrace. They will let me know in the next couple of days about my transfer date, they need to check with the lab first (they try not to schedule too many in one day, and since they have more control over FET, they can basically decide well in advance), but the nurse told me that it should be in about 3 weeks

WashingtonDA--hi friend! I'm glad to hear the precious one is doing great...SO good to hear that.

I will keep you posted. Thank you for checking in my dears. Ok, gotta go back to my paper now.

Yes, Schel, where are you?

Hi girls, did my best to update the list again -- if anyone has any objections to what I've done, please just let me know. Hope you girls who are starting new cycles don't mind that I deleted the bfns from last time -- it isn't that I was being insensitive, but just trying to start with a fresh, clean slate for your bfp's. Hope that makes sense!
Esperanza - if you'd like to add any other sparkly things, please feel free - I have no idea how that works!
Enjoy the rest of your day! xx Amy

Washingtonda: I will definitely keep you up to date when I find out the date of my nuchal test. I will be seeing the high risk OB on March 14 for the first time. They have me going to see Dr. Kramer. His main office is near Shady Grove Fertility in Rockville but he has a satellite office in Frederick.

Good news ladies! I have my transfer date March 19th!!!

Want to hear the best part? it falls right on my spring break! this is a GREAT sign. I won't have to stress over missing class, requesting time off or anything like that. Life is beautiful

My babies are on their way home

Esperanza you are not going to believe this!! My FET would've actually fallen on an off day for the 15th so they pushed it to the 17th but My dr is unavailable so my cycle for fet was counted as yesteday being day 1 (they are shifting my estrogen around) which makes my FET: MARCH 19TH!!!!

How exciting!!! We go on the same day!

Mrs G: That is sooo super cool!! Good Luck!!!
