JDC- I am like you and tubeless. I had one removed from scarring 1 1/2 years ago and the other in Feb. because of ectopic. When did you start your stims? When is you ER? I found my right side is doing better than my left. They have a really hard time finding my left ovary. This is a great board for support. You can ask questions, vent, cry, or be happy. sometimes all in the same day 
Good luck.
Amber – so sorry you are so down. Sending hugs your way. It is tough to get through but we do what we have to
Rubylee – My clinic also said no ibuprofen.
SDtrying – I am studying computers. If I actually get through these two classes then I will graduate this semester. The bad thing is they both have a lot of writing and I really hate writing.
Kimmy- I had horrible headaches with Lupron. They have gotten a little better since stims, but it is always there
Jharris – just have to say again how great it is that your levels came up.
Well, better get ready for tonight’s shots. Will try to get DH to do them. We will see how he does this time around.

Thanks girls!! for all your support.
email would be good SD, but I think at this point I will wait for a sit-down. There's nothing they can do. I knew from day 6 when they were so big that it was going to be bad. There's no way, when E2 goes up that much that fast, that egg quality is going to be good.
The chinese meds lowered my FSH almost in half & I felt stronger and knew I wouldn't need as much stimulation. I just felt completely ignored in that regard. Like, it was ok last time, so lets just do the same thing regardless of the signs. Those poor eggs were just hit over the head with those meds.
My poor dh...I'm pissed .
I will pray tonight for those 3 and send good vibes & hope they fertilize. It's going to be tough to wait for a cell report until Tues.
I'm really glad to see everybody else doing better though, and Love Bug that's a great number!
Thanks again everybody!

Hey everyone- it's just past midnight here in San Diego, it's officially May 11th, meaning I'm now only 1 day away from my ET. I'm having a glass of wine. It really just dawned on my that tomorrow provided everything goes as planned I'll be the most pregnant I've ever been!! I'm going to have little one (s) inside of me for the first time ever. I really hope they like it and want to stay awhile preferably 40weeks
I've decided that no matter what happens on my beta day, i'm going to enjoy my 2 weeks of pregnancy!
BTW, I'm getting packed up to move into my new house. My DH agreed to hire a junk service to haul away everything we don't want anymore so I don't have to do any heavy lifting on my 2ww! My MIL is coming to help with the move- she's a dear.

turtlesonastump - started my stims on 5/3....because they said I am a "late bloomer"(as per my sweet nurse!), I'm not exactly sure when my ER will be. I go back mon for ultrasound - I'm thinking I may be taking my Ovidrel that night - that would put my ER into Wed. My only 2 follicles were 12 and 14 in size Sat morn. I'm so done crying about having so few follicles - I gotta work with what I got!
Everybody - I feel better already being on this message board! I just want to thank everyone for sharing there experiences here. We are not alone in this. I don't think my odds are very good of conceiving this cycle, but whatever happens I know I can get through it. Easy for me to say at this moment because I'm in a good mood, but that could change without warning!

I wanted to wish everyone a "Happy Mother's Day". I know some of us are not "officially" mother's yet, but I am glad this day is in the middle of my cycle because it reminds me of how wonderful being a mother is, and why I am going through all of this.
So I encourage everyone not to be upset that we may not be moms this day, but rather let it encourage you to keep your PMA!!!! Life is a challange and a struggle, but many times it's not the destination that makes you a stronger person, but the journey.
To everyone on thos board, have a wonderful day!!! Thanks for the support and the friendship. Baby Dust to all!!!!

Hello everyone....Happy Mothers day to all the ladies that will be mothers in the near future!
JDC-- i just wanted to tell you a story of a woman that was on the Dec/Jan thread with me....ANDNICHOLE--she almost had her cycle canceled because she only had 3 follies, after her RE recommended canceling a bunch of times, her a her DH insisted that they go ahead with the cycle with the 3 follies that they had. She got three eggs, but only 2 fertilized. I think her embies did okay, but not great and she knew her chances of conceiving with that cycle were low......She is now Pregnant with TWINS!!!!! Dont give up hope!

Hi Ladies - Happy Mother's day to all you. I think just wanting to be mothers as much as we all do justifies a Happy Mother's Day!
I hear what you girls are saying about keeping PMA and staying focused in this trying and emotional experience. My DH and I were just talking this morning about how nervous we are about this week. (We do the TESE (testicular biopsy) and find out if he has any sperm on the same day of my ER.) Whenever negative, creeping, obsessive thoughts try to take over I force myself to think of 5 things that make me happy in my life now, and I remind myself how lucky I am to have my DH and that when all this is over, no matter the outcome, we will be in it together. It is a tough thing to do, especially with all these drugs coursing through my body, but what other choice do we have?
It is a busy and exciting week for a lot of us! Can't wait to get all the updates on how it goes for everyone. Sending baby dust and luck to all of you!!

Hi Everybody! Yes it is Mother's Day for all of us because we're Mothers in our hearts.
I found out this morning that all 3 of the little ones fertilized, so that's 1/2 the battle at least. My 3rd day was a kicker last time with the quality looking shaky, but I believe this time will be different!!!
I've been trying to figure out all the scenarios & what to do, so I'll be prepared when I get the numbers. It's tough. Like if they look shaky should I just put them in anyway? or try and let them go to blast even though there are only 3? Then there's pgd, but there's contoversy there & like SD said, it may be better to at least be pregers for 2 weeks
I guess the answer is there are no right answers, you've just got to go by instinct or something.
SD I'll be pulling for you tomorrow & absolutely no heavy lifting. It'll feel really good to get rid of the old stuff....to make room for something new & cute
Love Bug How's it going on the fert report? are you going for a 3 day or to blast?
Turtles Did you get dh to try again???? how was it?
SueQiwi Hang in! this is part of our journey & we'll all be better people because of it. Thanks for your support.
JDC I really feel for you!! And here I am freaking that I only got 3.
I've just had to say to myself that anything can happen. Like Neffi said....that couple never thought they'd have success. A girl on my old Jan/Feb board Jomae, only ended up with 1 good one but she had it transferred & she's now pregnant too.
There are so many variables that rarely come together correctly, but they don't need to be correct. Pregnancy is oftentimes a mystery, even for regular conception.
A girl i work with had 3 IVF's & none worked. She has 1 tube, and was told at 38 she would never conceive with her own eggs. She turned 45, wasn't using birth control of course, and got pregnant naturally, giving birth to a healthy gorgeous baby boy.
I think about that story whenever I get discouraged....I mean WOW!
RubyLee That's intense for your dh, a testicular biopsy. Lots of good thoughts & the best of luck to you.

I got my fert report this morning...I only have 2 that fertilized. I am very upset. They said they want to do a 3dt, but if they dont make it to the 5day blast outside my body, they are not going to make it inside my body! Why wait and hope for two weeks???
I am going to talk to my RE tomorrow to see what he says. My nurse said that they will keep the other 4 that were good to see if they fertilized late, but it is highly doubtful.
Sorry no personals, I need to wrap my head around the possibility of try #2 not working.

Love Bug - I know words rarely help us when we're going through this, but my RE has said they can never quite replicate our body chemistry in the labs and that the embryos are always better off in our uterus. With that said, try to think best about the 3dt and know your little ones are going to snuggle in for the next 9 months. Good luck on Tuesday!
