Anybody IVF progesterone ring study in Texas?

[stressball]

Indie: For the time being you can borrow my screen name......oh..hun...its going to be alright....crinone is there in the market for a long time...and I am sure there must be preggo out there with crinone in their PITA BREAD....You know my nurse said that the worst thing that you can do to ur embies is to stress....you know how my first week of pregnancy went...now I wish I could undo it....so laying down is good but stressing out especially after the embies in...not good.....as I said before mine came out more the first few days and then it started to stick....probably because the build up makes it stick....so have faith....9 months as it is a long and stressful journey...for me everyday feels like a week.....hang in there.....so FYI after the embies go in...some days you might feel that something is coming out like AF but it actually is the build up...it feels just like AF...so dont freak out....

Bear: OMG....twins...how many did you put in...was it 5 day transfer.......sometimes there is some blood in the uterus..totally normal...third could be that.....I had ultrasound on 5week3days and saw just one sac.....so may be its one baby but now I am hoping for identical.....mine US is today.....

Angram: stim. feels like forever....but hey Indie made it...so will you...

I was thinking the other day that in our group nobody has twins...I was wrong....

Okay ladies lets pray for each other....may we all have a happy and peacful weekend...

[IndieBlue]

Thanks Stress I'm really not stressed...it's just icky and since I've never used it I was worried about the discharge. Since I layed down though it's working out better so I'll stick with that plan.

My hubby just called and said he was sad, I asked why and he said because our babies were in Atlanta I just started to tear up....isn't that just like a man to be all PMS'y and then have a moment like this and you know he's there with you through this. He said he'd love to keep all 5....but he knows we can't and that God has a plan. Again, I'm just touched.....so now I'm headed to the store to load up on things for the rest of the week. If ET is tomorrow, I don't want to have to get up if I don't have to, so having all the groceries done will be nice

Thanks again!

Hey Stress, we had 2 embies transferred, they were day-5 blasts. We have any number of scenarios that could have taken place. 1) They both took, and we will have fraternal twins, 2) Only one took, but split and we have identical twins, or 3) they both took and then one split and we have the probability of triplets. We are hoping there are only the 2 babies. We're not greedy, we really just wanted one healthy baby. I suppose God had a different plan for us. I'm really hoping the 2 are in different sacs, and keep trying to tell myself that since they measured 3 days apart that this is a good sign. It's just crazy to go from a diagnosis of not being able to have a baby to expecting at least 2. My emotions are all over the place.

[IndieBlue]

Ladies, my 5 embabies all survived the night. So I go in tomorrow bright and early and will discuss with the doctor what she thinks and then we'll either be bringing home 2 or 3 of them with us

Thanks for being so supportive....can't wait!

[karen266]

Indie- Glad that all 5 are doing good! What are you thinking 3 or 2? Sometimes, I wish we did 3, especially if this is BFN. I have not been feeling too confident. My ET was at 11:30 & we had to be there at 10:30. So sweet what your DH said.

Bear-Congrats on the twins! I can totally relate to freaking out about it.

Stress- How are you feeling? Any m/s? Great beta, how many weeks are you?

angram- Let us know how the u/s goes!

I POAS and it was BFN, today I am 10 DP0. I have been stressing big time and worrying about them. I know it is out of my hands. I just haven't been prepared for the emotional part of this and have been living in lala land during the whole process, so the emotions hit me the other day. Sometimes, I wonder if they really put them back in me.

[beccatx]

WOW baylor- that's such exciting news- I'm sure a little scary, but just keep the PMA and take it easy!

Indie- Oh my goodness- that's so great about 5 still kicking it in Atlants (cute story about hubbie)! I am thrilled for you.

Karen- please don't get discouraged- it' so early yet...if this was a normal cycle your period wouldn't even be coming for 4 or more days....it's very early to test. Some women get HPT neg. all the way to beta.

Stress & angram....what's growing in there???

[IndieBlue]

Karen I think we're going to go with 3 as long as she doesn't have strong objections to it. I probably won't have any to freeze....and even if I did I think I'd just feel better with 3 at this point. She said 3 in the beginning, so hopefully that's still the concensus. I'm sorry you're not feeling good about your transfer My appt will be earlier then I thought....so I'll get my Crinone in right at 10 probably. I'm driving myself and driving home....so I'll just lay the seat back a little and maybe sit on a pillow or something LOL Our passenger seat only slightly reclines anyway, so if husband was driving it still wouldn't allow me to lay back

I'll probably look like I'm trying to roll in my Suburban like a hoodlam LOL I'll be sure to say "Holla" while I'm layed back in my seat driving past your exit LOL

I'm excited....I POAS this morning and the trigger is really dissipating quickly...I'm actually kind of surprised. I plan to POAS every day though, I know I'm crazy....but it'll just help me prepare for the 18th and my Beta. So your Beta is on the 9th right? Wow....that's Monday isn't it!!!

I hope you get your BFP!

[angram]

IndieBlue - Holla to those 5 embies, way to go!! Good luck tomorrow morning, I bet you're totally excited and ready to be PUPO!

karen - Keep the faith, it's still a bit early to tell. Lots of women seem to get BFN's this early, especially if you have a late implanter. I'm keeping you in my thoughts.

baylorbear, beccatx, and stress - Glad to hear you girls are doing well and those babies are growing. I'm hoping the rest of us can join you very soon in the big belly club!

Had my b/w & u/s today (day3) and my E2 is not as high as RE wanted, so he's jackd up the meds to 375 Gonal F and still 75 Luveris. I think my E2 was 60, which is pretty low. DH and I counted around 8 follies, most measuring around 7 or 8, so I hope increasing the dose helps these grow and others appear. We had 7 eggs last time, but not great quality, so I'm hoping this time is better. We go in Monday morning for the next b/w & u/s.

[IndieBlue]

Good morning (well morning anyway LOL). I couldn't sleep....so I got up at 4am and got ready and here I sit waiting for 6am to roll around so I can head that way. I've got to stop and get my drinks for the transfer....something non carbonated that's not water. All I ever drink is water and I can't sit there and drink 40 ounces or so in 45 minutes or I'll be sick.....unless I drink it while eating something LOL Hmm, maybe I'll get some chips too.

I was so bad yesterday and I had chili cheese fries for lunch with a few Krystal burgers so those nervous butterflies are not going to like my stomach this morning LOL

The RE's nurse also told me yesterday that we needed to BD last night...huh? I even said "are you serious?" She said yes....why? My ovaries still hurt....don't they know that LOL Plus the addition of Crinone Gel...YUCK!!!

Oh well, I'm excited and yet terrified that I'll make the wrong decision. I just knew when I got the call yesterday that only 4 would have made it and my decision would be 3 (easy).....but not so. I'll see what they all look like this morning and I'll see what the doctor still recommends and go from there. We're really leaning toward 3, but again...we'll see this morning.

Well, off to finish getting things ready and only 30 minutes until my 2 1/2 hour drive

[beccatx]

Hi ladies!

Indie- I'm thinking of you! It's 10:13 here...is that 11:13 in Atlanta...are you done I wonder? Driving home with your seat leaned back, chillin'? My DH is in Atlanta for work this weekend- a convention/expo at the Galleria Center??? mmmm...chili cheese fries....I've been craving a chili cheese dog for weeks....I like to blame it on PG...I probably eat one every few years, so it's definitely time to give in. What does BD stand for?

Angram- Good thing they upped your dosage...I'm sure you'll see more on Monday- they'll do some major growing this weekend...what's PUPO?

Indie- can't wait to hear what decision you made...maybe more multiples on this board!

[IndieBlue]

It's 12:30 and I'm home Well, I got there a bit before 8 and sat there till 8:45 or so before they finally called me back. We put back 3...but nothing above a 6cell. So we'll see

I'll spare you the details of my stress out at the office, the crying and the embryologist trying to make me sign to only put back 2....arggghh!

I'm glad to be home and I'm going to chill out for a while since I am tired and PUPO LOL

Oh and BD stands for Baby Dance (s*x) or you can put DTD! LOL

[stressball]

Indie: You made it.....You are one strong woman to drive home by yourself.....

Karen: Feeling low is bad for you babies....I tested negavtive on 6d5dt with 197 first beta.

Me: I am feeling extremely tired all the time....and my nausea is sitting right at the neck.....Good news....I got to see the baby sac...its one baby measuring 1/4 of an inch with heart beat 122 on 6 weeks 3 days...Re was happy....Hubby was disaapointed...he wanted two.....Is he kidding me....He works 14 hours a day....I dont have maids and I am not quitting my job.....anyway I am very happy that I have one....since my future plan is to adopt one.....

Oh...cannot type more....so dead aagain....

[IndieBlue]

Stress Congrats!!! Glad you got to see your little one! I can't believe your husband LOL, that is too funny.

[karen266]

Indie - What happened today? Did they only want to do 2? So glad that your babies are back home with you! They had us BD too the night before, she said they wanted the embies to go back in an environment with sperm, like a natural conception would be.

Stress- Congrats on seeing your little one! Funny about your DH!
We have a son that we adopted from Vietnam last year and he is the light of our lives.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have been testing with FRER's that I got off of Ebay, they were expired in April, but I figured it was no big deal. They have all been BFN's. I tested out trigger with $ tree tests til 7 DPO then switched to FRER and it was stark BFN. So I did test on 8 & 9 DPO with FRER's and BFN.
THen today FRER BFN & I figured WTH, I have some other tests I may as well test with them too.
HOLY CRAP they were +. They were all positive but the FRER.
I have been testing with CRAP FRER TESTS!!!!!!

MY FRER FROM TODAY! Ignore the tooth paste stains on my sink.



MY $ TREE STORE TEST & ANSWER EARLY TEST FROM TODAY!!


I have never gotten a +, it has been 4 1/2 years of ttcing.
I am in shock!

[IndieBlue]

KarenWOW, Congratulations. I saw those expired ones online but I just didn't know how the expiration effected them so I didn't get them. I ordered the plain strips, they seem to be working with the trigger (very very faint today).

I'm just so excited for you....YAY!!!

As far as today, yes the embryologist only wanted to go with 2....but the Dr. had told me that if I did a 3 day then I'd get 3, so that is what I wanted. I couldn't believe that I'd go through all this and then only put back 2 and both of them less than 8 cells I'm glad I asked....now I have a bit more of a chance that one will take.

Still, you did it with 2.....YAY! Yours were larger cells though, weren't they?

Again, congrats!!!!!
