Jharris - that is great about your numbers. I am so happy for you. And more follies is excellent. So are you doing 600 a day or twice a day?

chelly - I really liked iron man too. We saw it last weekend. I don't know when my ER will be now that my numbers are low. It was suppose to be between Tues. and Thurs. next week and hoping it is not too far off that.

Well, I really need to get my work done as it is due tomorrow. I don't feel as spacey today so hopefully can read my textbook without falling asleep or day dreaming :wink:

Hi Chelly! The 2ww is hard. I'm disappointed our thread is closing down. Everyone has been so positive. I have my beta this Friday, May 16. I hope everyone's sticky thoughts rub off on me. Thanks for the prayers! Jenny

DrJen: How has the 2ww been treating you?? It's almost here! Sending my best wishes your way!

Well, girls, I haven't been posting because I didn't want to bring the group down. I've been POAS for 5 days including this morning, and BFN, so was I ever surprised to get the call that my BETA was POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I guess all of your good vibes spread to me. THANKS!

MommyTwingle- Congrats!! :D:DThat is so great. What was your beta number?

This is a very lucky board. I hope it spreads to me also. I went in today on my 11th day of stims for b/w and u/s. My E2 was 582 and I have three follies that are the between 17.4 and 23.6. The rest are below 11.5 so the doctor is going to try pushing 2 more days to see if the others catch up. If they don't then he will cancel the cycle and try different protocol the next time. He said that with only three follies that the chances are not as good and best to try again later on. I know this is probably the right thing, but i just want to get it done now. It is so frustrating.

DrJen - sending you lots of sticky thoughts. Hope your holding up in the 2ww.

Jharris - I am so glad your follies caught up and you get to trigger. I am pulling for you.

Girls! I am here for all of you!

I haven't been posting cause I haven't been feeling too good myself. I have really bad nausea today and I threw up 3 times and it's not the best thing to feel or go thru!!!

Mommytwingle - Congratulations! welcome to the Preggers club :)

Turtles - Well I hope your follies catch up and grow- Hopefully you won't have your cycle canceled.

DrJen - Hope you doing well - Hows the 2ww journey? Lol it's not the best but as long as you can keep yourself busy you will be fine.

Jharris - COngrats on your trigger - Good luck with your ER!!!

Chelly - We can keep this thread alive!!! I really loved and liked the ppl I have shared my journey and I wouldn't want to not share my pregnancy journey.. that would be really sad :(

As for me I am getting really nervous and scared about my Ultrasound it's scheduled on Wednesday so I got one more day of restless night!!!

Ugh, you guy don't understand the 2ww for beta didn't bother me as much as this ultrasound wait has been killing me!! I so really wanna know that everything is fine and I am preggo with one or two? but wait sucks!!!

But you girls pray for me and keep me in your thoughts about my u/s I cannot wait to tell you'll about my u/s as soon as I find out how many LOL

I hope I haven't missed anyone else - I am still thinking of you guys and wish you guys BFP's!!

Hi Girls -
I'm still here too! Sorry I've been quiet a couple days. I have posted a couple times on May/June too but won't leave the birth place of the Golden Girls!!

Everything is ok here. DH and I just got back from our last sperm analysis and no luck. It is going to be a biopsy for sure, though I did have a sense that was going to be the case. I know DH is bummed a miracle of sorts didn't happen. He has been working so hard to try to get this naturally; acupuncture, clomid, lots of vitamins, no caffeine, eating loads of veggies (which is NOT natural for him, you should of seen his face choking down a raw seaweed salad :wink: ). It is a good life change for him anyway I guess. Stimming is going good. I had U/S today, follies are up to 14 and 15. Lining is good. Looks like ER is going to be Friday. It will be nice to get all this pressure out of my uterus!!

Congrats MommyTwingle!! That is amazing! I am sure you are over the moon.

Sameera - sorry your so sick. I guess the good side to that is you know everything is working the way it should.

Turtles - I hope your others catch up and you can finish out this cycle!

JHarris - okay, you're paving the way for me. My ER is two days after you. Keep me posted on how it went.

Have a good night ladies!

Oh Dear....it's so hard to keep up...!

SD: Congrats on your transfer!!! I am praying for you!

Rubylee: Sorry to hear about DH's test...I still say, It only takes a few, no matter how you get them...
Yes, I'm still stimming...I was not on the Repronex last time, and I think the Lupron, Follistim, Repronex combo is making me a bit crazy...was sitting in the lab this morning, with my sleeve rolled up, (sadly, actually giddy about the ultrasound!!) when I was told that I wasn't due for either until TOMORROW. I'm definitely cracking up...
Have you received any news about your follies?

My tip for the day is concerning Mother's Day...

First: Happy Mother's Day to all of you who are already Moms...

Second: Perhaps it's the hormones, but I hereby issue a holiday ban for all my fertility-challenged sisters who selflessly invite their entire family over for Mother's day, time their injections between serving the appetizers and putting the meat in the oven, and then stay painfully sober while everyone opens mom's day gifts and sappy cards. Throw in a few nieces and nephews, an almost divorcee friend who has 2 small children (who you're secretly wishing you could adopt to save them from the trauma) and a Mother-in-Law (I really do love her very much) whose sole priority in life that night is to convince you to cut your hair short and get a pool...! Is it just me...?
Let's stop the madness and take a stand before we get to Father's day...

Congratulations and big prayers to all those BFP's on this thread...even bigger prayers to those waiting and in limbo...
Have a great night!

Ruby: Sorry, just reread your post...that kind of absent mindedness is exactly what I'm talking about!!
Congrats on your follies!!! That's a great number! Did they predict Friday originally or do they think you're going a bit early?
