Donni- We are here! I was wondering the same thing too! How are you feeling? Have you decorated a pink nursery or not yet?
Faith- That's hilarious about your "hell week"- I never thought of that way and I was in a sorority in college too! June 4th and 9th will be here before you know it! And this cycle is the one for you- it will be!!
Beth, Barbarella, & Karen- How are you all doing??
I'm just taking my bcp and feeling so tired I can't stand it! But less than a week of them left and I'll start my Lupron on June 3rd- yipppeee!!
Take care all, Laura
FET in Feb!!!

Yay! Some of you are here!
Faith ~ Hell week huh? That's funny. I was always super excited to start meds because I felt like at least things were finally starting to move along. Then once I started them I realized how much I just wanted to be done. The first cycle was OK for me but everyone one after that just made me want to cry with every poke and dr appt. (Trust me, I honestly did shed some tears). The 4th is right around the corner!!!
Laura ~ Starting Lupron on the 3rd - YAY! See.... just starting a darn shot makes us happy
I hear ya on being tired on BCP. They are miserable. I hated taking them.
Well my peri's office called me yesterday. They ran tons of blood work on me because of all of my early M/C and they found out I have mthr gene disorder??? I don't know exactly what that means- but it is a clotting disorder and they had me start 2400 addtl mg of folic acid (6 more pills) and a B complex so I can get addtl B 6 and B 12 vitamins in addition to the baby asprin and prenatal vitamin I am already on along with that stupid progesterone shot weekly. They said this is good to know in the event I want to try and get PG again and possibly caused all of my early losses. Anywhoo....I'll check in later.
Donni
PS - I bought a crib and a changing table - but no other shopping for me yet. We were wondering when we should register and start stuff??? I never had a baby shower before.

Good to hear from you guys!
Wow Donni, that's great at least maybe they found the problem of all your chemicals!! I'm sure you thought that it may have been nice to know a while ago, but now you will have lil' Addison, things always work out the way they should! As for the registering I think most couples do it like 5 months because most seem to have baby showers around month 7? I sure it doesn't matter though! You have a theme for the nursery?
Yay Laura!! It's always nice to end those BCP!!! Ugh, I hate them too! Do you know your transfer date yet??? I'm guessing end of June?
As for me, well I guess it's day 6 of "hell week" LOL!!! Ugh, I really will be glad to have it done!! I am excited, but not as excited as I have been before, if that makes sense! Maybe I've reached my limit with all this!??
Oh well, it'll be here soon! Less than a week now until retrieval!
Bye for now!!

OMG Faith! June 4th??!!!? Yay!! You will make it through Hell Week, and the end result will be all worth it! Hopefully I will soon follow you!
How is everyone?
Donni, glad they found that out about you. Maybe you'll be able to have 10 more kids naturally!
Teach your kids to keep their fingers out of their butts, though. 
I never bought 1 thing for the baby until I was around 7 months along. That's when we got the crib and such. My shower was around the 7 1/2 month mark, and I registered the day the invites were mailed out. I guess I was supersticious or something. Didn't want to jinx anything. BUT that is ridiculous, be excited, it doesn't hurt to do a little shopping!
Laura, thanks for the note taking! I wish I had taken better notes last time, but I am keeping good ones this time around. I have started my Lupron and next week comes the Gonal F pen. ( Last time I was on Follistim, but doc said no difference?) that's my stim, isn't it? I stayed so blind last time, I just went with the flow...
Barbarella, where are you, girl? how are things??

Donni- Like the others said, that's great that they were able to figure out what the culprit was for your early m/c and that's also great that there are meds you can take to prevent them. I think we registered around 5-6 months and I had a shower when I was about 7 months. That way there was plenty of time to organize everything and buy other things that we needed before ds came.
Faith- Wednesday is the day, right?! So "hell week" is almost over!! Hope all goes well! It will!!!!!
Beth- I think I might have used that Gonal F pen the first time and it was so conveinent compared to back when I had to mix up Follistim when I did some IUIs a ways back. That Follistim burned a lot I remember but not the Gonal F. Things are moving along for you. Are you excited?
I feel like time is sort of moving slowly along. I start Lupron on Tuesday so that's good but then I still have all the way till July 3rd for my transfer. I'm at work right now- it's about 1 a.m.- I work nights just every other weekend so it's not bad but it's hard to stay up sometimes!

Faith ~ So ER is set for Thursday? I am so excited for you! I can't wait - I truly - truly want this for you guys so badly. I feel like each 2 ww is my own. I will be out of town until late Friday - but I will check up on you as soon as I can. Lots of sticky baby dust!
Laura ~ That's right - tomorrow is Lupron day. I am so excited that things are cracking. I know how slow things are moving - but you'll be there before you know.
Beth ~ I don't know about 10 more- although I joked with DH and told him I wanted to put back all of the embies we have left. I think we have about 12 left. He didn't think it was funny. I too did the Follistim Pen - I never did the Gonal F. I heard they are all the same too.
I haven't registered yet, but I think I might soon. I don't know though. My son is graduating highschool Thursday - he moved with his father in Dec - 6 weeks before he turned 18 and during his final semester in highschool. Not sure if I wrote about it. It devastated me. Anyway, I am better now, but he is graduating at a strange school that he never went one day to. (He only needed one more class to graduate - very smart kid and he took a pass class). Anyway - that's where I'll be later this week. Take care ladies - lots of love and sticky baby dust to you all.
Oh.... I had my level II U/S today. I will post some pics as soon as I can. DH has to help me figure out how.

FET Feb!
Hiya Everybody
I am typing whilst under a pile of rubble....Nah Just kidding! The house is going along very slowly, we are gutting the inside and also knocking walls down outside. I went home to Manchester for a long weekend as I was getting frustrated with my hubby, but we are back on track. I go for my baseline tomorrow I have been on the down regulation nasal spray for the last 3 weeks because the Hospital in UK is busy so I have had to wait extra 13 days on Nasal .....What a joy! My ER should be 20th june if all goes ok and transfer 4 to 5 days later if I get enough eggs to go to blastocyst!!
Faith - Good Luck for Thursday Keep us posted...Go Girl!!
Laura, Beth ..... Thinking of you guys too, doing the meds again. I have noticed I have been really miserable on them and really tired this time.
Donni - Congrats ...a baby girl. Addison is a lovely name. I tell you, all those vitamins you must rattle when you walk...He He. It sounds like all is going well for you ....I am sitting here smiling away, thinking of you and your bump....I must look a real wally!!
KYW - I am sorry to hear your news and I hope you can get right back on track and try again!! Thinking of you xx
Gotta go my boss has arrived...Take care everyone
Speak soon Barbarella xxxx

Hi girls!!
Just a real quick update...
ER is scheduled for tomorrow at 8:30. Yay, can't wait to get these eggies out!!!! I can definetely feel them ovaries this time around!
Donni Have a great time at your sons graduation!!! I'm sorry you're sad he moved out, but sometimes kids do that for a change? Or maybe to prove they can live apart from mom? I'm sure he's excited for his baby sister! My DH's mom had his baby brother when we were 17, and it's been fun watching him change!! He just turned 12 and is tall as me (not that I'm that tall...) We'll be waiting for those pics!!!! Get on it!
Barbarella good to hear from you and good to hear the house is coming along good!!!
Beth and Laura thinking of you both, won't be long for you guys!!!
Bye all!

Hi Ladies:
Question for those of you who did a FET. I am 5dpt a 3dtransfer. I do not have any symptoms...not even from the progesterone. When I did a fresh cycle, I always had sore bb and some cramping. I do not feel anything...do you think my progesterone isn't working. Has anyone felt like this?
Kim

Thanks everyone for all the good luck wishes!!!
Well ER is over! Yay! I'm glad to get that part done!! They took 32 eggs!! That's 9 more than my last fresh cycle, so tomorrow the embryologist is going to call and let me know the progress. I'll let you all know more then!!!
Thanks again you guys!

Faith- That's great- 32 eggs- that's a ton!!! Let us know how they're growing!! Have you thought ahead to how many you will transfer yet? I'm sure you'll have a day 5 transfer. Good luck!!
Kim- I didn't really feel a lot of symptoms with my FET. I wouldn't worry about the progesterone not working- I think you probably would feel a little different with a fresh versus a frozen cycle. When I did my fresh cycle and had ds, I do not remember having cramping or sore bb. Good luck!!
Barbarella- So good to hear from you!! Working on your house has probably made the time fly by, huh? June 20 is just around the corner!!
Donni- How did your son's graduation go? Does your son still live near by? I can't wait to see your u/s pics!!
I've been so tired- I don't know if it's getting off the bcp or if it's the lupron- who knows!!
Take care all, Laura
