April/May Cycle Buddies 2008

[Yellow]

Michele, you are funny. I really hope you don't poop your pants. Good luck and more good luck!

The nurse said it'll take about 10 to 14 days to get AF, but I forgot to ask from when? From retrieval probably.

The bad news is that then I have to start BCP and lupron and then take a drug to help the lining grow and I still have to do the PIO shots! So, the transfer won't happen until early July.

DH sort of wants to try a natural FET, but I'm ok with a medicated one. We'll be moving around that time and I'd rather know the dates with a little more certainty. DH will be between his old job and his new one, so our schedule should be flexible. That's good.

I'm still feeling extra bloated -- wearing stretchy pants only. Can't wait to have my waist back!

Welcome, MommyTwingle & cjpreasha. Good luck to you!

Yellow - sorry for wait. I am sure it is so difficult to be getting close only to have it pushed back 'til July. But the FET sounds promising! I hadn't really researched it much but it makes sense that your body would take to it better without all those insane drugs in your system.

SD- yay! ER is over! That has got to feel good. I'll be checking back for that fert report.

Shep - Did you start your stims? How did the first one go? I flinched on my first Repronex because of the sting and had half of it run down my leg. Oops. I went for bw today so we'll see if it harmed anything.

Michele - I am sure I will be wanting to poop my pants the day before my beta too! I'll be waiting anxiously to hear. I am so inspired by your not POAS. Not sure if I can be that strong!

JHarris - So glad your E2 level went up. That is a good sign. IVF is so draining, I agree. The stress is maddening. Let us know your BW results later.

DrJen - Congrats on the frosties! 2 is a good number.

All is well here. Just stimming away. Not feeling much yet, this will be day 4. I had BW this am and an U/S tommorrow so we'll see how it is all working.

Hey girls, sorry i have been missing lately, work has been crazy.

Sameera

[courtney]

Sameera~This will be my first! And I have to warn you...my doc just called, he said with a beta of 365 he is expecting twins. So you better watch out with your 500+ beta, you may be triplet bound!!!!!!

[sameera]

Courtney - Don't be scaring me like that LOL - I will explode if it's triplets..is that even possible? when I transfered two embryos!!

Although EVERYONE thinks I am gonna have twins!!! including my DH.. I'm like honey we don't know that lol - I guess I won't believe it till I see two sacs and two heartbeat and what not.

Sameera

[courtney]

Sameera~4 babies are possible from two embryos, they can both take and then split creating the four. Girl, I am thinking three!!!!! LOL

[sameera]

Courtney - I say I will think THREE for you and one for me!!!

[MommyTwingle]

One of the girls in another BG put back two and is having triplets; just found out this week.

Sameera

Three is VERY possible, Sameera!! But I think twins is most likely, I can't wait to hear from you on the 14th. Its really sneaking up on us. Time is going by much faster now, i'm sure once I hit my 2ww it'll go by much slower. I'm debating about buying a bag of pee sticks myself. But instead, I think I'm gonna have my hubby order the Beta on May 21st (which is my birthday!) My official one is on May 23rd, so I'll have something to compare it too. We'll see, I haven't decided.

My transfer is on Monday- wish me some stickiness.

I just found my first gray hair today- I think its a good omen- don't they say you get gray hair from having kids?!

[kimmysq]

Courtney: What a great beta number! How many days past transfer (3 or 5 day transfer?) How many embies did you put back?? I am over 40 and can't decide...I am just so excited for you!!! yeah!

SDtrying: So cute that your husband posted. Great fert. report.

I haven't really posted in a while. I am about to graduate from college tommorow. I just started my stims, follistim 200 units, and menopur 75 units with lupron at 10 units. The follisitim and menopur made me feel a little funny the today which is the first time I have taken the menopur. This is my second attempt with invitro. Is it normal to feel bloated with the initial dose of menopur? My expected retrieval is on the 19th. Only 10 days left and then the ER. I have seen many pregnancies in the forum. I hope it rubs off. Baby dust to you all. Congrats to all the new expecting mommies!
