Corny- I'm really sorry. I was praying so hard that your beta would take off like a skyrocket. Do what your heart tells you to do. Good Luck :wink:

Keita- I didn't feel bloating and heaviness until about day 6 of stimming. But when I did, it was like I was carrying around a bowling ball in my uterus.

LoveBug- Sorry AF is so bad. I know with time, you and DH will come up with the answers that are right for you both.

Well, thanks everyone. I called RE this morning and asked for one more beta. He said fine but that he gave up because he just didn't want to torture me. At this point I know it's not going anywhere, as I am bleeding a lot today. But I was only 1 point away from 66%, so I think 1 more beta will finally give me the peace of mind I need to move on. Anyway...I'll check in on all of you. Best of luck to you all. Lovebug - I hope the 2nd times a charm for you!

Corny- take care of yourself. I hope the news will be great with today's beta. let us know how it goes, I'm thinking about you and hoping everything is ok.

Love- Argh!! that sucks that Af is being such a nightmare - on the bright side - she'll be gone soon and you can give it another go with your cycle!

As for the work thing, I think i'm going to try to take fall semester off from grad school - I would be teaching 20hrs/wk plus doing my masters work in sculpture, so as it would be such an active program and I'd be due right smack dab in the middle of the semester, i think it's in our best interest to take it easy. I mean, I don't think I'd get any credits anyway if I stopped mid-way, so why not take a few months to celebrate what we've been working so hard for, even if $$ will be tight

take it easy ladies -

D/A UPDATE

Post by keita1981 »

Well my endo is 11mm and i have 9 follicles, the largest at 16...i was a little upset b/c i thought I would have more than that, i see why i wasn't feeling too uncomfortable, but dh and someone else made realize that it could've been a lot worse. I just felt that i may have been too suppressed if you ask me, but that is just my opinion. but, i'm going to roll with it and try to remain positive as I had been and just trust God on what he is going to do for me. My doc office called back and told me My E2 was 875...whatever that is. and they will be reducing my meds from 300 a day to 150 a day. I go in Sunday for another b/w and u/s they may have me trigger me around Tuesday or so. so we will find out.

An update ladies...

I went in Friday for the last beta. You won't believe this...106!!! That's right...it went from 37 to 106!!! It almost tripled! The nurse couldn't believe it. She says "what made you come in again for another test?" I said...I just needed closure. So...she says..."go back on your meds" (mind you I never went off), and come back on Tuesday for another beta. Now, I consider myself a realistic person and I know that there is still the possibility of an ectopic...but holy crap! We are absolutely stunned. So...the saga continues and I'm keeping my seatbelt fastened while I'm on this wild ride. I think all of your wonderful prayers and well wishes are helping...so please don't give up on me now. :D :D :D :D :D :D

update

Post by keita1981 »

Good morning ladies, i hope you all are doing well. I had my appt today... today was stim day 8. So far my endo has gone up to 13mm and my follicles have definitely increased. I think I have about 20 now. the biggest one was 21 and i have some19s, some 18s, some 16s, some 14s and I believe the rest may be 9-11. So, I think they are definitely looking at ER on Wednesday. I have to stim today/tonight and also tomorrow morning. I also go in for another stick and stir Monday as well. So, I will update you all on that also. Thanks ladies for all you do. Oh the doc said out of them there is about 8-10 possible mature follicles, which I'm happy to hear.
