Daisy Wow, I'm not sure what to say.....I know it has to be hard :( Just don't let it split you and hubby....you have to stand strong together. I really hope that your HPT are wrong though and you end up with a BFP!!!

Dakota Thanks...today was day 12 for me, the first few days I did nothing because I was on 225GonalF and 150Menopur....then she upped it to 300GonalF and 150Menopur and they just blossomed. I hope that you get a few more days and they do the same thing :)

I just did my trigger....well actually I was on the verge of tears so hubby did it LOL I've done all my shots, I really really wanted to do that one too but I just couldn't. So now on to Wednesday :) YAY!

Hello all! I don't know if you noticed, but I am back on the list!! I went in today for an U/S, and I still have one cyst, but it's much smaller than the two were three weeks ago. Then, they measured 47x38 and 44x37. Now just one at 22x17. There's still a chance that cyst will pose a problem, but for now, I'm back on lupron!! :) Yippee! DH teared up when I called him from the parking lot at the doctor's office. I honestly did NOT expect this today, so I am very excited! He's psyched to be playing the part of the chemist again!

So it's been a really long time since I was on BCPs, and I am finishing up my pills now. I will take my last BCP on Wednesday then wait for AF then day 3 for another U/S and B/W. How long does it take for AF to come after the last "active" pill? I feel like it used to take maybe three days...but I can't remember.

RubyLee and LB - YAHOO! Congrats on the BFPs! So so happy for you! When is your second round of blood work and your U/S?

SDTrying - How are you feeling? When is your U/S? I am so happy for you and your DH! After all that stress during the process, you must be happier and happier every day. Kudos to you!

Aims, jharris, amberb and Rinnie - I am so sorry to hear of your recent updates. Keep the faith, girls. Thinking of you....

IndieBlue - congrats on triggering!! Do you know if you will be doing a 3 or 5 day transfer? Good luck on your ER!

Neffi - Awesome news about your fert report! I just realized I didn't update you on the list...I will re-post. Sorry about that! When is your ET?

Irishhope - Good luck with your ET!! Sticky vibes to you!!

To all those stimming...hope to join you soon! Good luck to all of you!!

Hugs,
Jen

Thanks guys for writing me back. Does anyone have cramping with constipation, I think we might have a problem. The bad cramps only happen in correlation with gas or an impending bm, Any suggestions, Sorry about my bluntness, I just cant wait to ask the dr on Wed. Thanks again everyone for being so supportive, I am thinking of you all and hoping there are many beautiful babies to come!!!

Ads Thanks for the list! Girls bring on those BFP's...the list is looking a little sad.

Dakota Looking at your numbers I think they're concerned about your E2 level for the size of the eggs...especially with one 17....that should be at least 150 by itself. I think a mature egg is 150-300 per egg. It may mean that there are follies with no eggs and thats what they're worried about because 9 follies is still a good number. Stay positive & grow follies!!!

Neffi That's really terrific that 3 fert all by themselves. I'll be praying they're a perfect 3 on day 3 :)

Daisy I'm so sorry...I just failed #2 as well. But reading all the posts you realize it's really a numbers game. Don't give up! Get your body strong and as healthy as possible, take time to heal and try again if you can.

Irish Go for it!!! 3 is fine....you're not in your 20's.

Indie That's a really good number...go girl!!!!

AdsGirl - Thanks so much for keeping up with the list! I go in tomorow for my baseline and will hopefully start stimming tomorrow. AF took quite a while to arrive after the last BCP last cycle, but it was due to my cyst. She arrived 3 days after the last BCP this time, so guess ya just never know :) I'm so excitd you got to start Lupron, good luck!!

Neffi - Way to go on the fert report, I'm happy to hear the boys did their job.

daisy - I'm so sorry you haven't yet rec'd the BFP on HPT's, but hold out hope a little longer. I think we all feel your pain regarding pregnant friends and family, it is so hard to deal with while we're going through so much. Keep the PMA and good luck to you and DH.

Dakota - Grow follies GROW!

IrishHope - Good luck at ET tomorrow!

Hi Ads Girl:
How exciting that you got good news and can get "back in the game".
yeah!!!

I have my beta date. June 10
The progesterone is playing tricks with my mind. I know logically that it is the drugs, but I just can't help myself....every little twing etc...I analyze. The 2 ww is just crazy, but I am happy to be in it..:)

Thanks for all of your support. I am supposed to take an early beta on wednesday because I spotted on day 8. It was brownish and I didn't spot on my first failed cycle. I am expecting the worst but hoping for the best.

I have been on the June/ July site, but I have been reading and I just wanted to say good luck to everyone.

susivf1-- I just wanted to let you know that constipation during the two week window is common. I think it is caused by the progesterone. My doc had me take a stomach medicine called "milk of magnesia???" it comes in a blue bottle, and is safe to take. It really helped me, and I just thought you might want to try it. I'm not sure about the name, but you can find it at any drug store.

I started stims on the 31 and I go in tomorrow to see how everything is progressing.
After 7 attempts (2 negatives/3 miscarriages), we have TWO miracle boys!! If you would like to hear our story, please visit http://www.ivfsuccessstories.info. Never give up, it can happen for you!!

Thanks ladies :) I'm so excited about tomorrow....I filled out my calendar and I'll either have a ER on 6/7 or 6/9....and Beta #1 on 6/18 (although on their chart is says that the office visit can be anywhere from 13 to 15 days after retrieval...so it may be the day before or after the 18th). It's so hard to believe that I could be PUPO in just 4-6 days....YAY!!!

SusIvf1 I thought I was getting constipated with all the stims, but I was having regular 'movements' so I couldn't figure out the pressure/pain....I guess it was my ovaries? I've heard eating 'poop paste' everyday will keep you from getting constipated though. It's equal parts applesauce, prunes that have been mushed up and a bit of prune juice I think? You can do a search for it on the Internet and there are lots of recipe variations...some include a bit of whipped topping...etc. It's called Power Pudding in the hospitals, not poop paste LOL That seems to be what it's called in the IVF circles though.

Daisy Good luck tomorrow :) I can't say that I'll be thinking of you in the morning....as I'll be out of it LOL, but I'll say a little prayer for you tonight :)

Kimmy Good luck on the 10th. It'll be here before you know it!!!

Rinnie Thanks....I think it's an okay number too :) I just want to have enough to choose from to transfer and have some leftover to freeze for another lucky couple. That might be asking a lot though....so I have to see after tomorrow :) since I am not just covered with tons of follies.

AdsGirl I'm glad to see you back in the game :) My cyst started out at 18 and then it went to 16 when I started Lupron....now I'm afraid it's the 20 on the left :( She said there really was no way to know, and she'd drain them all regardless....so either way my cyst will be gone :) YAY I hope your cyst slow down and don't cause anymore issues.

Quick question for those of you who have done IVF in the past. I should know the answer to my own question since this was my 3rd time around, but I should be starting my first period since my m/c any minute. I am typically 28 days on the spot, but it's day 31 and no AF. Is that wierd? I haven't been in the best of moods, but I don't have any of my typical PMS symptoms. It takes a cycle or two after a m/c to get righted again, doesn't it? Just curious. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I've been reading everyone's posts...good luck to the 2ww'ers...it won't be long before we get to see lots of BFP's :)

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping their spirits up!

Dakota - hey girl, i've been keeping tabs on you and i am sending lots of 'follie growth dust' to you :) I am just behind ya in the 'stimming' arena...details below...

AdsGirl - I am so happy to hear that you are back on the roller coaster and already on Lupron!! That is so exciting!! Best of luck on this time around - stay away cysts!!!

I have been stimming since last week and went in today to see how everything looked so far...
They said my lining was an 11, and I have a total of 18 follies - 9 of which are measurable right now (over 10mm)...My right side is working hard (and I can feel it) - so far I have a 15, 15, 14.5, 13, 12.5, 12, 11, & 4<10 ... and for the left side I have a 12.5, 11, and 5<10
So my right ovary is the dominant one for now...
All week DH has been looking at my tummy and saying "grow!!!" It's kinda funny when he says it out of the blue...I will be so happy when I am done with these shots and get to make it to the ER stage :)

Have a great day everyone!
