Hi Neffi--thank you for checking in. As it turned out, at the new pharmacy they were friendly but they didn't have the patches in stock. I called other local pharmacies until I found one that had them, so I called my nurse back and asked her to put the order there. Finally!!! I was able to pick them up and put it right away. I'm supposed to change it every other day. I think it already started working because I went out with dh last night, I only had 1 martini and, oh my God!, I got drunk...I couldn't believe it :twisted: Nothing terrible, but my head was spinning for a good while. hehehehe!

Good luck tomorrow with b/w and u/s! Grow follies, grow!!!


Hope everyone is doing great.

Esperanza-- Im glad that you found the patches. I am having trouble finding them also. What patch are you on? I was on the Vivelle...i think thats what it was, but now the pharmacy that I was using doesnt have them anymore, we tried to get them from another one, but my insurance isnt accepted there. So my Re is looking into it....well Im glad everything worked out. Yeah Im stating to feel a little bloated...I think it was around day 6 of stimming last cycle that I started to feel it, so we'll see how everything looks tomorrow!

ct-michele - fantastic news that all is well with your baby. hope you enjoyed your massage and didn't get too wet in the rain! Looks like England has that weather now, which means it'll be here in a few days!

neffi - best of luck with your scan! grow follies, grow! keep us posted on your results! Only a few days to go and you'll have your ER!

esperanza & mrs. g
- in 10 days you'll be PUPO - Enjoy this baby-free time while you have it! :D Hope everything has worked out with getting your patches -- it is really the last thing one needs is to stress over getting meds before getting started...take good care!

washingtonda, andnichole - how are things going with you?

I start stimming on Friday. I have a busy week at work, so I'm hoping the time will fly by till then.

Hi everyone. Looks like everybody is doing well and moving right along.

Neffi -- Only a few more days until ER. Boy it seems like time is flying by. Good luck with everything.

Michelle-- Glad that all your test came back great. We have our Nuchal test on the 18th and I am a little nervous.

Esperanza and Ms G -- Only a little over a week to go. I have everything crossed for the 2 of you.

Amy - good luck with everything. This IVF is a great think. Jus keep that thought and it will all work out.

As for me, we had our 1st OB last Friday and our doc spent much time with us. we were thrilled because he's known to be a little impersonable. We got another sono and was able to hear the heartbeat at almost 11 weeks. It was a little hard to hear but he worked with the machine long enough to get something for us. My next appointment is on the 18th at the clinic with the hugh risk doc for the Nuchal test and back to my OB on April 4th. Since this baby will be C-section, my OB said that I could schedule anytime a week before my due date which is 29 Sept. My 17 year old daughter's burthday is Sept 24 but she doesn't want me to scheduled for that day. We must choose a date when we're 28 weeks so we have a long time to think about it. I am still battling this cold but the pregnancy is going great. Baby is moving like crazy on U/S so we are happy with that. I'm showing and have gained 4 pounds so I guess all is good. We're just happy!!!!

Hello everyone,

i am so sorry, but i am so busy that i hardly have time to come back and chat anymore.

here is a quick update: i started lupron on 3/5, have my baseline us on 3/13 and if everything goes well start stims on 3/15 with a tentative retrieval date of 3/24. this will probably be my last ivf cycle, so keep everything crossed for me.

i hope everybody else is doing well.

amy: i saw your af showed and your er is the same week as mine ..... go girl.

sorry, i did not read much, so i don't remember everyone right now. but i am sending much baby dust to all of you.

Hi, I've updated the list for everyone. Feel free to add or change info if you want --

Pumma - so nice to hear from you! looks like we will be cycle buddies after all! :D as far as I can tell, this is also our last try and it's going to work - for me and for all of us! keep us posted on what is going on when you can. Easter sounds like a great day for a bounty of eggs at your retrieval!

Neffi - how'd your u/s go? grow follies, grow!

Esperanza - when do you have your u/s?

Mrs. G - good luck to you on your u/s on Wednesday!

I am finally getting to check in with everyone.

Esperanza: I'm glad you were finally able to get the patches! All kinds of running! Have you looked into using Freedom Fertility? They are a pharmacy in I believe Massachusetts but they ship to your door overnight for free. That is where I got all my meds from. They worked with my insurance so all I paid were the copays.

Amy2410, Neffi, Esperanza, Pumma: Sending you all lots of positive vibes for BFPs in another few weeks!!!

CT_Michelle: Thanks for the invite. I will stop over to the September boards.

Washingtonda: Glad to hear the baby is bouncing all around and doing well!

My next appt. is this Friday with the high risk OB. I have been so busy at work that the days have been flying by.

Amy- As most of you know on here, 2ww is never a fun time and i drove myself nutty. I spent most of my 2ww taking hpt's. I thought I would not be bothered by the waiting, because it was the 2 weeks before christmas and I would be busy with holiday stuff, but i just couldn't keep my mind off of it. I did a lot of visiting with supportive family, did a lot of christmas shopping and wrapping, and a lot of posting on this board. I hope that the 2ww goes by extra fast for all of the ladies with upcoming ER's. We will be here to help you get through it.

Well, I left work early yesterday, skipped class last night and stayed home today. Yesterday morning was the first time this entire pregnancy that I actually got stomach sick. That is why I do not think it is pregnancy related. I would think 15 weeks is a little late to start throwing up. Everyone at work is sick and my mom just got back from the dr's. She has a sever case of flu and bronchitis, so i am hoping by taking it easy today, I can avoid getting it full blown. I guess only time will tell. I hate not being able to take cold medicine, I think I miss that more than alcohol!

Bad News to Post

Hey girls just wanted to post to let you'll know that I had heavy bleeding yesterday. we went to the emergency room and after 6 hours of waiting, we finally got called back. They did a vaginal ultra sound and the baby looked well. Heart was still beating and all looked great. The also did a doppler to check the heartbeat and even at 11 weeks that picked up well. ER Doc thought maybe the bleeding came from the possibility of my cervix being open. The did a vaginal check and that showed that the cervix was still closed so the wrote it off as something that can sometimes happen in early pregnancy.

They ordered me on strict bedrest for the rest of the week and advised no sex and advised that I see my OB doc in 2-3 days for a follow up.

I have an appointment for tomorrow morning at 10:30 am but I had a little more bleeding today. Today was just a small clot and yesterday was a small clot along with a gush of bright red blood and than it pretty much stopped. I have had no cramping so I'm not sure what is going on. I have had diarreha all ay today.

I was pretty confident that all was well when I left the hospital last night but todays small clot has got me worried again.

Can anyone please offer any suggestions to give me a piece of mind until my visit tomorrow. I just want to know that my baby is still okay.
