MAY/JUNE CYCLE BUDDIES!!

[hopinginpa]

Thanks Adsgirl- Hope you are feeling ok. When do you find out about your cyst?
My ER is tentatively scheduled for 6/12. I am starting lupron tomorrow and stims on the 1st. Things are starting to move.

SD- sounds like a BFP! Let us know that number tomorrow!

Hope everybody is enjoying the weekend. It has been raining here all day.

My nipples are BURNING!!!! Is anyone else on the 2ww feeling this? OUCH!!!! I dont remember this during my last cycle.... I know it's the progesterone I am on, but DAMN!!!

[aims327]

Lovebug - I had burning sore nipples with my fresh cycle, but not so far with the frozen cycle. Just cramps in the middle of my stomach.

[Rinnie]

My nipples are incredibly sensitive...I think I screamed last time dh tried to touch them
I think I even wake myself up sometimes because they hurt when I turn over.
Ouch!! And I have 1 sore butt cheek
This all comes in so handy when you try to put the endless waiting out of your head & are so quickly & sorely reminded.
Oh well...just a few more days.

Thanks for the list Ads!!!!

[Love Bug]

I have been good. I took a HPT on sunday and my trigger was out...it was negative, but way to early for me to get emotional about. I have 3 HPT in my bathroom, but I decided to wait until wednesday to take another one.

Rinnie Do yout think it would show on a HPT then?? How are you doing? We will know if we are mommies this week!!!

SDtrying Let me know how your "pre-BETA" BETA goes!

Hopingpa Congrats on starting Lupron and Stims!! The time does go by fast, until the 2ww, then the world seems to stop. Enjoy the ride!!!

Jharris12 Welcome to the 2ww!

Everyone, have a wonderful Monday!!

Kimmysq My first Ap cost was $85, but he didnt do anything special, or different. My cost going forward is $60 and that is for needles "in" for 30 mins. I have to admit, I'm a baby and I think the needles in my hand hurt and the one in my foot hurts, but the other ones I dont feel at all.

ruby WTG on the eggs girl!!! Super women here:) Your fertility report sounds great.

Rinnie Yes, I see a TCM. He has a PHd among a million different other letters after his name. I am going to try out one place next week just to see what the difference is. I MUST say, once I started the BCP, two days later I started spotting every day until about 30 mins after my first AP treatment and I have not spotted since. I am one of those girls who spots for EVERYTHING. So maybe something is working.

SD I am crossing my fingers for you on the beta. I am getting really excited. I cant wait to hear how the next beta goes today. I'll be stalking the boards looking for you:)

jharris Awesome embies!!!

Man o man do we have a busy end of the month. By the end of the week into next week we will be rocken out ALL the BFP. I hope you 2ww'rs are taking it easy, dishing out the BFP vibes. I cant wait until they all start rolling in:)

Yesterday was the last BCP for me...yeah!! Its hard to remember the pill, my Metformin and the Lupron. I have my US & BW on the 27th at 11am. If all goes well I will start stimming on the 28th. I am SO excited I am going to pee my pants:) Is it normal for slightly swollen BB's on Lupron? Of course who is complaining??:) I also forgot, since its been 8-9 years since the last time I took the BCP, but how much it improves my skin. Thats a battle for me because of PCOS.

Anyhoo...hope all is well with everyone and I am really praying all gets your BFP.

[ForMaggie]

Congratulations to all of you on your 2ww! I can't wait for the bfps to start rolling in. Friday is the big day for Rinnie, LoveBug and SDTrying, so I'll keep my fingers crossed (toes, too, just to be safe )

Went back to the RE this morning and she said things are moving along nicely. She expects me to trigger tomorrow night for ER on Thursday. I can't believe it's finally here! You know you are bloated when, in bed, your tummy is lying NEXT to you instead of WITH you!

Okay...has anyone had any strange dreams or premonitions since they started this process? After my m/c, I had a dream in which a very calm, very assured curly-headed girl (my presumed daughter) said to me, "Don't worry, I am coming. And, this time, I won't leave you. My name is Maggie." When things are rough, I remember that dream and that voice.

[AdsGirl]

ForMaggie - Your dream gave me the chills! I had a dream last night that my dog ate a snake on a zoo field trip with my niece. My dog is kind of small, and the snake was pretty big. Doesn't seem too meaningful. Your dream is definitely better! Can't believe you're triggering tomorrow! WOW!! I am so excited for you!!

Dakota - Glad to hear AP is working for you! Last BCP and starting stims soon!!! That is fantastic!

Hopinginpa - Woo Hoo!! Here you go!! So excited for you getting started on Lupron!! I'm so happy you're finally moving forward!

I've been having some pain in my lower abdomen...I've heard that pain is associated with these cysts. I hadn't had any pain before, though. Anyone else with PCOS had pain? When I was in for my last U/S, she asked me if I had pain, and I told her no. Since I didn't have it while they were forming, hopefully it doesn't mean there are new ones...maybe they're shrinking???? Keep your fingers crossed.

[IndieBlue]

Ads: I hope they are shrinking I have had one that has consistently been 18mm since the beginning of this cycle and I'm praying it goes down as well before my baseline ultrasound on Thursday Come on Lupron...do your thing LOL The RE hasn't really said much to me about it though...so maybe it's not hormone producing and it'll be okay to go forward with it still there.

ForMaggie: I never really can figure out my dreams LOL Last night I had a dream that I overpaid my vehicle insurance by 200.00 and was just like "oh well...no biggie" Ummm, so not like me LOL I wish I would have some meaningful dreams or some signs or something about this cycle. I had a very meaningful dream when I adopted my other children...I actually saw them in a dream and after that point it was like I was searching for these specific children in the photo listings we'd get sent...etc. I've since dreamt of another little girl...she was a mean little thing...spoiled rotten LOL, but she was mine....but I don't have her yet so maybe she's coming too

SDTRying: We've missed your updates on the Fertility Forum I'm glad I've been watching you on here too though...POAS LOL I have 25 stick/strips...so I plan on being in that POASholics group you started LOL

Dakota: I'm a baby with needles too, thankfully the study I'm in doesn't allow AP...so I have an excuse to not go LOL I've heard it helps though, do you plan on doing it the day of ET? I've even heard of some APist coming to the RE's office with you for the ET AP session for an extra bit of money....WOW! Sunday was my last BCP....it was exciting! Now just waiting on AF....come on!!! LOL Oh and my bb's were swollen and hurt on the BCP, not sure if it'll continue now that I'm not taking them?

LoveBug: Okay...now you have to stand up and introduce yourself to the POASholics LOL I'm glad your trigger is out and you're not getting upset about the lack of a positive at this point....it's really early. I can't wait to hear Wednesdays Again...I'm not shaming anyone as I ordered 25 pee sticks LOL

HopingInPA: Congrats on the Lupron start. I was soooo nervous when I started that (we had a graduation that night and I was so afraid I wouldn't make it out in time to take my 8:00 shot. The graduation started at 7 and I was out and back in the car by 8:05....WOW, shortest graduation ever LOL Ever since then I've been giving them to myself, I'm a pro LOL Now those stims might burn....I may wince a little on them

KimmySQ: Good luck on the 25th!

JHarris12: Wow...3 days of bedrest....I think I'd go crazy. I don't have a laptop or any other way to connect when I'm laying in bed...so again, I might just go crazy LOL

Well, nothing new here. Still on the Lupron and Doxy and I have my baseline on the 22nd...Thursday! I should be able to start stims that night or the next night if AF cooperates Of course I'm looking forward to that next step...but not the bedrest after ET and lack of gardening/running....etc. It's just getting to be nice out here so that makes it harder to see myself laying inside. I'm sure I'll get through it though....I'll just be glad to get to that point Glad to see so many of you in the 2ww....how exciting! Let's see all those BFP!!!

Hello everyone! Not much exciting going on here. The 2ww is not fun, but I have to say the weekend went by fast. I was supposed to do an hcg boost last night, but I thought I might have mild OHSS - super bloated and my stomach feels awful - like someone needs to push on it and let all the air out. They are not having me do the boost. I went this morning for b/w and now in addition to the PIO shots and progesterone suppositories, they are having me take estrace tablets. I am like a walking pharmacy!

But other than that, I am not feeling anything, so who knows what that means. I have adopted a theme song for the embabies, which is Destiny's Child's "Survivor," so we have been rockin out to that a lot lately! I go to AP again tomorrow - mine is $85/session - which seems steep compared to some others, but whatever works!

jharris - glad the ET went well and welcome to the waiting game!

ruby - best of luck with ET!

2wwers - glad you are all holding up well - and SD, results sound good to me. Can't wait to see all the good news on Friday - it will give me lots of hope!

Everyone else - hope all is well!

[queenie77]

Hi everyone! Wow, so much going on here that's its hard to keep track of I am so anxious to hear from all the 2ww'ers...i am sending all of my positive vibes your way and praying for many BFP's all around!!!

ForMaggie - I love your post about your dream...i love hearing stories like that - i am a big believer in dreams/gut feelings/premonitions...

As for me, I started Lupron last night and let me just say that I HATE needles...like deathly afraid of them..all of the bloodwork has been the worst part of this journey so far, so I wasn't sure how I was going to deal w/ injections at home but thought I had talked myself into being cool about it...well, I had myself so psyched out that i went from being calm about DH giving me the shot, to being hysterical, and then back again...it took 45 minutes for him to convince me to let him come near me with the syringe LOL ... there was lots of laughing and crying, but finally I took the first shot and let me tell ya how silly i felt when it was over...i looked at DH and said "is that it? are you done?" ....wow....didnt feel a thing and then felt realllllllly silly about all my fussing and nervousness DH was so great about it though and said that tonite we will see if we can "beat our time of 45 minutes"... all in all, i am glad to be at this phase of the process and hopefully closer to a BFP

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is getting through their Monday...mine is dragging by....

LoveBug I POAS'd too yesterday!!! how funny. It too was neg, but yes it's way too early. I just wanted to make sure the hcg was out. I think on the super speediest of eggs, today would be the very earliest you could see anything. But according to what I was told you could still be implanting all the way until Tues, which would make Thurs the first day to see anything.
I'm also going to wait until Wed....the agony is too much, for something that may not be a sure thing yet.

SD Let us know what happens!!

Maggie Great dream! I had one where I was in labor & bleeding. They kept wheeling me around and around the hospital like they didn't know where to go. Then I just got stronger, the bleeding stopped and I got up, said we were going to a better hospital & walked out. Hmmmm! May be some control issues as this process is so out of control

Dakota He sounds good then...if he has a phd you're in good hands. So glad you've off BCP! Yes, wait til the 2ww....big, swollen ones

Ads Here's hoping they're the incredible shrinking cysts!!!

Hoping You're on your way girl, how exciting!

LBKeep Rockin! What is the booster supposed to do exactly?

Indie & Queenie Get ready!! Queenie...they get really easy!

Hi
I too am going crazy with this 2ww period ARGHHH but I read some of your posts & got a really good chuckle. At least now I know I'm not going crazy by myself I have company. Our friend who uses the same Dr. as us is actually due June 6th. Anyway he had a dream I was having twins & he said he usually is correct. I have to wait until Friday but I hope. I went to a psychic & she said she saw me preg in the fall she didn't know how far along I would be but she saw leaves falling so that was nice to hear. Then I went to the accupuncturist which the psychic said I would need a little more help then IVF but not much. I totally forgot about that until my BF told me. So I am kind of caving into it. Took a HPT today very very faint positive. My friend said she saw a positive but very very faint. Almost that your eyes can play a trickon you. A very cruel trick. Friday is BETA all fingers & toes crossed for everyone

[Love Bug]

Rinnie I might cheat and test tomorrow and Wednesday, and Thursday... I made my appintment for my BETA test on Friday, and since my DR. is 3 hours away, I am going to a local lab, but they said I wouldnt get my results until the following day. GRRR...wouldnt I need to do another BETA if it's positive?

SDtrying What happened today???

Sorry no more personals, I am so tired today I cant even keep my eyes open...and it's only 5:00. I will write more later.

Ciao Ladies and Babies to be!!!

[Rinnie]

LoveBug I will not be swayed!!!
