Courtney, congrats on being right on track. That's what we like to hear.

Working on an MBA, too? Goodness, you must be busy. It's not finals week or anything like that is it?

SDtrying wrote:Hey yellow- thanks for info from ACOG, very helpful. I hope all's well with you. I agree that with most this stuff you need to follow your gut. So much of the reproductive world is not based on solid medical evidence (although defining that can be controversial) Unfortunately (and fortunately too!) medical ethics often limits the ability of clinical researches to do good quality studies in the field.

I know. It's a bit frustrating that there is so much variability in what clinics say are the do's and don'ts. It would be nice to have some concrete evidence of things that help. I understand why we don't have that information. Maybe 25 years from now.

Ugh, I got the call from my RE he told me none of my other eggs developed any more so they are unable to freeze any. This is so disappointing!! I mean out of 12 fertilized eggs none made it - now I am worried about the ones they transfered in me. I dont know if they will make it or not

God this is so frustrating to me

Sameera, I'm so sorry. I know it's disappointing, but don't despair! I know a girl who had the same situation. Transfer went great but there was nothing to freeze. She has a beautiful little girl now.

It only takes one!

WOW!! JesJes, that is fantastic!! 18 eggs to work with! Can't wait to hear the fert report!!

Sameera, keep your hopes up. We are all here for you and are praying for a BFP!! I can't even begin to imagine how frustrated you are right now, and I know it's easy for me to tell you to stay positive, but I will keep you in my thoughts. Hope to hear good news from you soon.

I am STILL waiting to get my schedule from my RE. It seems like it should be easy enough to plug in start dates!!

How is everyone else?

Sameera- Dont be sad...if it was easy they wouldnt call it IVF!! Hang in there, it only takes one...and they put back the two strongest fighters. Try to push aside the fert report and focus on the embies you have. I am thinking about you.

Yellow- I am in the middle of finals, papers, and presentations. Between IVF, work, school, trying to get the house on the market...WELL, my husband and I laughed this weekend, if we were to throw in divorce and a death of a parent we would pretty much cover every stress inducing event in six months!!!!!!!! Not that either of those are funny, but you have to laugh or you will cry!!

Amber- I am a total information dork...i need to know everything. Sure, this is probably a sympton of my Type A personality! What I have started doing is making a list of questions every time I speak to or have a consultation. We get in those rooms or on the phone and we forget everything, mainly bc all we went to hear is everything will be okay. Decide how much you want to know, and then demand answers!!

Also, are you numbing the spot before you give yourself the shot. My husband bought dixie cups and poured water in them about half way up, and froze. I rip the top rim off and then put the circle of ice directly on stomach for about a minute and I dont feel a thing. May or may not help...

JesJes-18 is incredible, rest up...and keep us posted on the fert report

I am so sorry Sameera. Try to stay positive and visualize those little ones implanting and being strong. My thoughts are with you.

I just wanted to let you guys know that you'll are so awesome! Really all this support and encouragement made me feel good.

You guys are right - I shouldn't worry about it and try to stay positive and hopefully the best two embies they transfered will stick and implant.

JesJes~ wondeful news for you hope all is well. rest as much as you can

Thank you again for wonderful kind words.

Sameera

Sameera,

While that's tough news, the others are still fighting! We're all praying for you.

JesJes, I don't know how I missed it. That is a great ER. Enjoy some rest. We'd love to hear the fert report when you're up to it.

47 hours since my last BCP. Waiting for AF...

Good morning everyone! I had my U/S this morning. I had 5 follies all over 10mm, and two small ones. The nurse said it was much better than she had expected, and they are just the size they need to be at this point! I know it doesnt sound like a lot, but for gals with high FSH this is really good! I go back on Saturday for another measurement. I think I will actually make it to ER!!!!!!!!

Sameera...how are you feeling today? Better I hope!

jennie h...Congrats on the transfer and the frozen embies!!!!

Amber...When do you go in for your U/S?

Have a great day!

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Sameera. Try your best (I know- way easier said than done) not to worry about the little ones that are snuggling in and growing away. I can only imagine your frustration, but we're all pulling for you and prayin' for a BFP!

Hi everyone..how are you all doing...

I went for my u/s today and was very disappointed... my body doesnt seem to respond well to the stims

.. I have very few follicles and that too of size around 6mm

:(.. I cried very badly and my teras doesnt seem tos top...octor told that they would see again on Saturday and if the follies are not growing as epected then they might cancel my cycle

... my heart is totally broken today and I am in deep pain

:(...I am crying like anything since morning.. I dont know why God is doing this to me.....

I am just praying that everything goes well and my follies grow grow grow........

Please pray for me and you all would be in my prayers!!..
Take care....
