MAY/JUNE CYCLE BUDDIES!!

[ForMaggie]

Let me be the first to congratulate you, Rinnie! Although I am not psychic, I really had a STRONG vibe that you would get a BFP.

[jharris12]

WOO HOO RINNIE!! That is fantastic!! I am so happy for you! Hey, at least your wait is over the weekend, and weekends typically go by entirely too fast anyway! So Tuesday will be here before you know it!! I don't have an answer on the sex question though. I know you can't in the 2ww, but I never asked about afterwards!! Congratulations!!

[cocosmomma]

Congrats Rinnie! That is a fantastic number! I would call your RE about sex. My over-cautious gut says no way, but an expert opinion is called for here. Have a wonderful weekend. RELAX! You're preggers. Enjoy it!

[LB]

SD and Rinnie - CONGRATULATIONS!!! I am so happy for you - I have been obsessively checking the board waiting to hear - and you have given me so much hope!! Hopefully 3 is the magic number!

ForMaggie - 7 is still a good number, plenty to work with!

[Love Bug]

Congratulations ladies!!!! I am so happy for you. Sorry to break up the party...I had my second BFN today.

[cocosmomma]

Love Bug:

I'm so sorry. I know exactly how you feel. There isn't much any of us can say other than we hate this for you, but we're all in it together. One day we will all be mothers - one way or another!

Have a few cold beers and Cokes this Memorial Day weekend and try to enjoy it. Go have some fun and do the things you love to do but haven't been able to these last few weeks! You'll be back in the IVF saddle soon.

Thinking about you.

[Rinnie]

LoveBug I'm so sorry!! I know this will happen for you though...Coco's right, you will be a Mom!
Don't give up, whatever you do. Take time to heal & try and relax with dh this weekend.

Lots of Love to you

Rin xo

Wow, I missed a couple days and am sooo behind. I quickly glanced through and Congrats SDtrying and Rinnie I am very happy for you.

Love Bug - I am so sorry things didn't work out this time for you. I pray next time is the right time.

Well, my Mom arrived yesterday for our cruise tomorrow. I guess she is good luck since I started AF today. It was really light but there. I called the office and they have me starting bcp tomorrow. I go in on June 2nd for baseline and start Gonal F on June 5th if everything looks good. So my new ER date is the week of June 16th Woo Hoo!!!! I can't believe I get to start so soon.

Gotta go, have more company coming tonight and have no food. Good luck everyone.

[aims327]

Congrats SD and Rinnie!

Lovebug - I'm sorrry to hear about your BFN. I hope after some rest, you'll try again.

LB - I'm holding up ok. I've been really tired and had a lot of AF like cramping but no bleeding. For my first cycle, AF had already arrived by now, so I'm hoping it's worked this time. However, I'm not sure if my body would start being on estrace and progesterone. I've managed not to POAS so far. How have you been feeling?

[IrishHope]

LoveBug - I am so sorry! Thinking of you and DH...I hope you heal quickly and move on to whatever you feel is best next step!!

Rinnie - CONGRATS! Good for you - I hope things are smooth sailing for the next 9 months!!

ForMaggie - 7 is a very lucky number! Keep your chin up...you're in the home stretch...almost at your BFP!

Dakota - hope the headaches ease up! I had them this week too from the "Loopy Lupron" but they are subsiding...

LB - Good luck this weekend!!

Sue - 4 for 4! Way to go!! hope things are going well...

Coco - Good luck over the next several months! Preparing yourself seems like a great idea...look at Rinnie!!

Indie - hope your med order straightens out...

Baby dust to all...

Off for my 4th Gonal F shot...it's sick I actually like them! I feel like I accomplish one more step in this process so hopefully only 3 or 4 more after tonight!!!!

Happy Long Weekend to All....

[IMBlessed]

Hi Ladies! Wow, so much is going on.....especially today with a lot of mixed emotions. I don't have much time for personals right now....so here goes.

SDTrying & Rinne - CONGRATS!!! Way to go Ladies!

Love Bug - Can't say how sorry I am about the BFN. I know you've heard it all before, but take it from me, KEEP TRYING!

ForMaggie - 7 fertilized eggs is still a good amount. Don't stress.....it's a blessing. Let us know when your ET will be.

As for me, I trigger tonight. My ER will be Sunday. Wow, it really seems like things are rolling really fast now. I pray the third time will be a charm for me.

Good luck to everyone else, have a wonderful weekend, and don't give up.

[riogirl71]

Rinnie - I had to stop and say:

Hope to see you on the "other side" soon! My RE said no sex until 10 weeks preggers! You can do something nice for DH in other ways


Lovebug - I wanted to give you a big

Your time will come, and you will be a beautiful mamma! I am sending tons of baby dust your way!

[cornybaby]

Rinnie and SD...CONGRATULATIONS! I am so happy for you both!

Lovebug, I am so sorry sweetie. My heart is just broken for you. Nothing we can say will make it any easier, but please know you are in our thoughts. I know you will make it through the disappointment and in time, do what's best for you and DH. As impossible as it sounds, I hope you can try to make the most of the long weekend...hugs to you dear.

[Rinnie]

Gotta love Rio....How on earth do you do that sparkly stuff?

ForMaggie 7 is perfect!!! Your body can't make that many perfect eggs, it's only natural. So these are the best. I only had 3, so you're going for the gold! Keep us posted on 3 or 5 day

IMBlessed Trigger!!! Woo Hoo! It does start to move, then it slams to a stop It's exciting...enjoy it.

Sue I think that's a great sign, 4 for 4. I bet they're great!

Coco I'm so so happy you're taking that time!!! I'm absolutely convinced that's what did it for me. You end up feeling so much stronger and calmer.
I did 3 acupunctures the week of transfer & I think that helped too.
It's tough to wait 3 months but it's worth it.

Aims I didn't bleed either and I had cramping up until day 7 or 8.

Turtles Thanks! I can't believe how you're on fire...ER June 16th...that's amazing. I'm so happy you're back on track!

LB & JHarris Thanks!!


So a couple of things... found out today that they did assisted hatching on my embryos. I know they said there was a little fragmentation on the edge so they were going to cut it off, but in my delirium of actually having viable ones I didn't quite get it. So that was interesting, and probably helped.
I also had AP 3 times the week of my transfer...day of, day 3 & day 6...and I really feel it helped a lot.

Lastly & I'm going to be preaching this a long time. Who knows what will happen, but I wouldn't have a bfp now if it wasn't for the TCM...nasty herbs and all. I had no viable eggs at all last time.
So anybody who even thinks of giving up, please consider doing this like Coco. I feel so much better, that I will surely continue some form of it for the rest of my life.

We have a packed board and I want to wish everybody lots and lots of babydust and love! I'm amazed at how we women go through all this...and dh's too

Well Ladies-- what an interesting day on this board. First and foremost Congrats to Rinnie and SDtrying! Enjoy this time you deserve it!

Lovebug-- my heart is breaking for you! Take time to heal.

To all the ladies stimming--- grow follies grow!!!

Baseline results were could, I started stims tonight. 125 Follistum and Menopur. Question for the ladies who are doing Menopur??? My RE said only to use 1/2cc of water when mixing? The directions say 1cc. What does everyone else do? And does everyone do just one of those little vials? This is my first time with this med. I only did Follistum before. Any answers would be helpful...although I guess the med is the same no matter how much water you add to it right? Anyway so I am OFF....here we go again! This is my time!!!!
