MAY/JUNE CYCLE BUDDIES!!

[IMBlessed]

Hopeful - CONGRATS!!! I was wondering where you disappeared to.

SDTrying - You're right....."IMBusted"! It's great that you got to see your little one. I just knew with your beta numbers that you were having multiples. I'm so happy for you.

AdsGirl - I can't say this enough......think positive!

Kimmy - Any news yet? I'm still pulling for you.

[jharris12]

Good morning ladies. Another great day on the boards already!

IMBlessed: You are so funny! I said I was going to stay away from POAS, but like you said, there was one at home, it shouldn't go to waste!! I am so happy for you though. You have a couple more HPT's just in case, huh?? Not much longer until the official beta!!

smattison: Congrats to you! That is more wonderful news this board needs!

ftg: Congrats to you, too! I love hearing good news!

Neffi: I hope your appt goes well today, and the PIO's are doing their job!

SD!!! That is the coolest thing! Your emails always get me emotional! I am SOOO happy for you! Oh, and good luck on your Boards!

hopeful: YEAH!! More good news!!That is fantastic that your numbers are rising nicely!

Ads: Best of luck to you at your appt. Hope the E2 cooperates so you can start stims tomorrow!

dakota: That visual about your DH was hilarious!! Mine was really nervous, too, but he didn't take quite that long! Maybe they will be easier from now on!!

So valerie: I went for a follow up visit this morning after my BFN. We discussed what went wrong, and what we could do different. My body didn't respond at all like the expected. He thinks maybe the Lupron suppressed too well, so we won't use that at all 2nd round. And they will start me off at a slightly higher Gonal-F dose so that I won't be on the 600 dose I ended up with last time. He said that he would see what meds he could get me, and what kind of discounts, and that he would do ICSI for half the price. He also said due to DH's poor morhology and him being diabetic, that ICSI is the only way to go, and he says the DH needs to start a male prenatal vitamin, and get another SA in a month. He wants me to go back in about a week before my next AF, so that will be around the end of this month, and discuss the cost, and if we are ready to go again and start BCP's in July!! So if we can come up with the money, we should get going again soon!!

Hi Ladies-
I had my 1st U/S today and I was able to see two little heart beats...TWINS! One was beating at 111bpm the other was 109 bpm. Looks like I am officially 6 weeks pregnant!

[jharris12]

Oh my Goodness, COOKINGGIRL!!! That is fantastic!! Oh, I am so happy for you!! Sounds like 2 healthy, powerful heartbeats!

[MzTia]

Good afternoon Ladies:

I just wanted to thank all you for the PMA you all exude. There is no doubt I would not be making it through this without you all to read about. You're positiveness is an inspiration to me so thank you again.

Smattison, Ftg, Hopeful, How exciting Big Congrats on your BFP's that is wonderful news.

Imblessed WTG HPT I am sure you will come back with a great BETA.

Cooking how exciting TWINS. I can just imagine you are on cloud 9.

SD you just brighten my day with your daily posts. That is so wonderful you got to see little tiny arms. Real soon and before you know it you will be feeling those little feet keeping you up at night.

Dakota- your poor DH. My DH is so the opposite he just can't wait to get to me although he is starting to feel bad for me since I am having since a bad reaction to the repronex.

Jharris- sounds like you have a great doc tthat they are willing to work with you. I am not sure mine would be so kind. My DH is diabetic as well and has a low count and low motility. He has been on clomid and ProArgi drink for what feels like forever and it improved his count from 6mil to 17mil so hopefully your DH will see improvement with supplements.

Looks like I am gonna stim for 9 days with ER on Sat and ET on Tues. I still seem to have 5 good sized follies between 15-17 and all the others are 11 and under so they prolly won't catch up which is ok. My E2 on day 5 of stims was 553 which they said was great and most like I have good quality egg in each of my 5 follies so I am rooting for my 5.

[ftg]

SDTrying-what a great story, and we love to hear the good news about your little bean. What a wonderful journey!

Cookinggirl-how cool is that that you get shown not one heart, but 2?? That is really awesome, and I know that you will continue to grow in your love for them both because of course you have enough to go around!

Hang in there stim gals. I know the road is long, but we all know there is a significant rainbow at the end

Thanks again to all for the support. Its really good to know this exists, and that we can share news amongst our sisters (and yes, sometimes brothers) going through the same journey. Let's keep the positive vibes alive!!

[babygurlsolages]

I had 2 grade 1 embryos transfered today. Entering 2WW!

[queenie77]

Cookinggirl - oh my gosh, that is so exciting!!! CONGRATS!!! You must be over the moon right now!

Babygurl - good luck on your 2ww - lots of sticky vibes to you

Dakota - your PIO story made me laugh..I made DH do my Lupron and Gonal shots for me since I am deathly afraid of needles and he would get all sweaty and nervous every night and he would say "ok, are you ready" like 3 times (I think he was secretly making sure HE was ready)..so cute..I am on progesterone suppositories, so no shots for me right now...but they are kinda gross, so I'm not sure what is worse...shots or yucky cream...ewwww

Well everyone, lots of good stuff going on on this board..its so upbeat and that makes me so happy...I hope the PMA and good news just keeps on rollin on! As for me, I got the call this afternoon that I will be doing a 5 day transfer - so this Friday (Friday the 13th?!!) I will go in for the reunion with 2 of my embies...DH keeps saying he is going to sing "reunited and it feels sooo goood" at our transfer LOL...he is so silly...

[LB]

Hello everyone! So great to hear all the good news around here. I haven't been posting much because not much is going on, other than lots of nausea (Ruby - I am so jealous you have not had any!) I go on Friday for my next u/s.

SD - so glad things look good and that you saw the heartbeat!!

cookinggirl - Congratulations!! Twins - that is so exciting!!

Dakota - I loved the story about your DH. Mine was nervous at first too, but now he is an old pro. RE mentioned last week that maybe I could stop the shots after this week, but I am not getting my hopes up!

Queenie - I am shots and suppositories - double the fun!

jharris - that sounds like great news and I hope you get to start again soon!

ftg - congrats on the good news, and best of luck with your next beta.

Ads - I have gone on day 2 at least twice and all has been fine - I usually started stims that night. I am sure you will be fine!

hopeful - congratulations!! Keep up the PMA and keep urging your little one along!

Neffi - how are you? I hope all is going well. Enjoy the beach!

Hope everyone else is doing well.

[valerie68]

Well, I was almost finished with my post that lightning struck, shut off my computer and erased everything. So here goes again !

SDTrying: I can feel your joy and your love for your little bean!
A great big gigantic hug for you and a teenie weenie one for your little beanie ..wouldn't want to crush him/her
I hope you can concentrate on your studies being preggo and all is not easy to study.

Cooking: I knew you were having twins !! Congrats, I'm so elated for you ! It's must be overwhelming to not only hear one heartbeat but two !!
CONGRATS!!

JHarris: I'm so glad your starting again and I hope we get to stim together! I won't be on Lupron either, just like I was not on it during my first cycle. I started acupuncture and I just love it ! I already feel a lot better and no more pms which I was having EVERY day since my chemical...my DH will attest to that

Dakota: fun story about your DH, I would have been laughing too.
I hope the embies are just splitting away in their little dish !

Hopeful: That's great with your BFP. Keep the PMA and I send you lots of good vibes!

Ads: Hang in there...everything will turn out ok.

Queenie: ' Reunited and it feels so good' ..I love it ! It will feel good to have them back home!

I better go and finish cooking our dinner.

Baby dust on its way to all of you...

Valerie

Hello Ladies!

Cookingirl-- WOW TWINS! You are so lucky! Enjoy this time!

SDTRYING-- glad to see that you saw your little bean!

LB- I am doing well, thanks for asking. I am headed to the beach this weekend, hoping it will make to end of the 2ww better. Sorry to hear about your nausea...when did it set in?

Jharris-- thanks for thinking of me. Glad to hear that you may be back in the game soon!

Valerie-- how are you doing???? You time is coming!

Dakota-- thats so funny about your DH-- I didnt let mine say anything I made him do it right away....he wanted to count, but I said no!

As for me.....I went in today for my Progesterone check and to check my ovaries. Ovaries felt good and my progesterone was fine. So now I dont go back until my beta. I always wonder when I go in for this if they run my blood for beta too? Just to see if anything shows up? I thought I'd ask today but I figured they wouldnt say yes even if they did, so I didn't bother. I had a little heart burn today, but it could just be the PIO shots.

If I missed anything important I am sorry, our AC went out and its was like 96 degress today.....last night we slept in the basement on the air mattress and it looks like we are going to do it again tonight!

[emmy]

Boy, I have been away from here for a few days, things are hoppin! Hope everyone is doing well, my second bloodtest is Friday!

[Dakota]

jharris Have you and DH thought about AP? I've read great things for MF. I am so glad taht your RE is going to work with you and look into disc, thats really great!

cookinggirl OMG!!! TWINS!!! That is such good news!!Congrats!

MzTia Looking good girl...grow follies grow!

Ftg Cant wait to hear about your sky high beta #'s today!

Babygurl I am so glad you dropped in, I've been thinking of you and what was going on. Yeah...your PUPO!!! Congrats and take is easy.

Queenie That is fabulous taht you get to do a 5dt. I am so excited for you. I am really hoping that my embies look good enough today where they think they will make it to 5dt. I dont like the idea of it being Fri the 13th, but I would really like a 5dt. I'll find out in a little over an hour!

LB Sorry your feeling ill, just think of the reason and you'll feel better:)

Valerie uummm...whats for dinner

Neffi How horrible to loose your A/C in this horrible heat. We've hit the 100 marks in the last week a few times, but today I think its only suppose to be in the low 90's. Its been horrible.

I hope everyone is taking it easy during 2ww and for those stimming...grow follies grow.

I'll know shortly, within the next hour or so if I'll be PUPO today or Friday. I am crossing my fingers for Fri!!! I think if the little baby o's make it to Fri that I am going to talk to them about doing AH.

Wish me luck

[valerie68]

Dakota: I cross my fingers for you that it will be on Friday as well !!
Lots of luck coming your way and you know we are all thinking about you!!
I was making chicken soup...it was delicious. My acupuncturist recommended that I have soup every night if possible, so that's what I'm doing.

Neffi: Thanks, I know my time is coming, I feel it !!
I'm so sorry you are without ac, I know what that feels like, it's not very pleasant at all. All you can do is stay calm and try to not let it bother you. It's that much more difficult if you're PUPO. You stay in my thoughts all the time and I know THIS is your time.
I'm starting bcp in July and stims in early August if everything goes as planned. I can't wait!

Off to work...I'll catch with all of you later on this evening and good luck on all the tests and fertilization reports !!

Hugs

Valerie

[jharris12]

Good morning ladies!

Dakota: We have hit 100+ degrees the past 4 or 5 days in a row! We have been breaking records. Luckily, back to the low 90's today! Thank goodness I work inside! I have been seeing so many positive things about AP that I at least need to look into it! I need to see if I can find one that insurance covers. We have so much money going out to IVF, it's hard to budget in anything extra. Good luck with your little embies! Hope they make it to day 5!!

Neffi: I hate to hear your AC went out with this heat wave everywhere! I have heard that alot lately! Hopefully someone will get it fixed for you quick! I wondered the same thing when they checked my progesterone level, but I have no doubt they wouldn't tell us!

valerie: I plan to look into AP. Hopefully I can find a place that either takes my insurance, or isn't too expensive!! If we can get the money together, we should be stimming pretty close. My next AF will start around the beginning of July.

LB: Sorry to hear you are one of those that ends up nauseaous. I hope it passes quick for you. At least it is for a good cause!

queenie: That's funny about your DH's song choice! You will have to let us know if he breaks out in song during the ET!!

babygurl: Congrats on being PUPO!!

MzTia: Thanks for the information. We are looking into what supplement will work best for him. Some of them are expensive too! We founf one that is $250 for a 3 month supply. Not sure if we want to spend that much! But we will do whatever we can to get a BFP our 2nd try!

Hope everyone is doing great today!
