Anybody IVF progesterone ring study in Texas?

[beccatx]

How did it go this morning Indie?

Angram- awesome news on 11 eggs...can't wait to hear about fertilization report!

Baylor- that's wonderful news...don't feel bad about being happy it's only 2....your chances at a healthy pregnancy and closer to full term delivery are majorly increased...you aren't glad one didn't make it, but glad the 2 have better odds at starting off bigger and healthier...God made the choice for you- He knows what's best. It's so exciting!

Stress- welcome to pregnancy...I know that's no consolation, but just remember how badly you want this and it won't last forever...it's almost gone for me and has all but subsided most days (11.5 weeks) Hope you get some relief soon

Got a negative....the test line came up but it wasn't colored this time,

I prayed last night that God would show me why I did all this to come out with nothing to show for it and to help me be at peace with whatever the outcome was on Wednesday. I feel better...the negative didn't hit me nearly as hard as it did the day before. So now we're off for our walk and then home to clean the house. My AF cramps were pretty bad this morning, as well as my 'morning hotflash' that I always have the week before I start AF....once I put in the progesterone it was almost nonexistent though. So while I pretty much know that I'm probably not pregnant....I'm still holding on to that slim chance, as I still don't understand why God would have let us get this far without letting us get a positive....but again, maybe there is a lesson somewhere in there.

IndieBlue - I'm sorry about all this. My only advice to you is that everything happends for a reason. I know it doesn't help much right now, but I am very sorry, believe me.

Angram - Let us know how the embies are looking. Hopefully they are doing well and multiplying like crazy!!!!

[angram]

Indie - I'm so sorry for the rollercoaster of emotions, I'm praying that your little embie has implanted and that you're just getting mixed messages with the tests. Try to stay positive, hope for the best, and go to your RE on Wednesday for the final answer. We're all thinking about you...

keiko1/beccatx/stress - Thanks! I go in this morning at 10am for the randomization and fert report, I'll let everyone know this afteroon

[stressball]

Angram: waiting to here all fertilized and growing.....

Indie: Dont give up yet.....remember I gave up a day before PG test and decided not to put the gel after I do the HPT....how stupid was I....please dont loose hope.....and the best thing you can do now is hold you tummy and talk to you embies and tell them they got to fight....send positive energy to them.....and rest is possible....my granny told me its crucial for the first few weeks....

Bayor: I am sooooo happy for you...my DH always wanted identical.....as my SIL has twin id girls.....they are sooooo much fun....above all I am happy that they are healthy....I wanted to ask you if you went for a 7 week US or 8 week??????because I thought we are just one day apart...and mine 8 week is scheduled for this Fiday......

Me: I hav stopped cooking....My DH wants me to cook but I just cannot...any smell makes me yukyyyyy......but you all are right cannot complain.....

[angram]

baylorbear - I'm so sorry that I forgot to respond to you this morning, you're definitely in my thoughts!! I'm happy to hear you have 2 beautiful babies growing, and just remember, God made the final decision and blessed you with what you and DH were meant to have. I wish all 4 of you the best, this is wonderful news.

stress - Maybe DH can start cooking for you? If it's anything like my house, that's pushing it a bit I felt really bad yesterday, so DH actually cooked me dinner! i bought a few things that he could just throw in a pan, so that worked out.

Well ladies, we had 8 fertilize!! We had 11 eggs total retrieved and all 11 were mature (totally shocked me). After ICSI, 2 degenerated, 1 has 1 pronuclei, and 8 have 2 pronuclei. The 1 that has 1 pronuclei may make it, but we won't know until Wednesday. I'm so very excited that 8 made it this far, this is such excellent news! RE will call tomorrow with 3dt time and then we'll find out Wednesday if they want to do a 5dt instead. My RE prefers 3dt, so we'll see what happens. I was also randomized and received the Crinone gel, so looks like I'm joining many of you ladies.

Hi Stress... Yesterday was my 8-week U/S, so it sounds like we are 5 days apart. My egg retrieval was on 5/4/08, so that is the date they are calculating from. Best of luck on your sono on Friday.

And I'm with Angram on the cooking thing, perhaps he can cook for you! I am very lucky in that my DH didn't get home-cooking from me before, so he hasn't noticed any changes. I decided a long time ago that I was not going to cook until I had to. I figure I've got at least another year or so before I have to start worrying about cooking for my family. We eat a lot of sandwiches, take-out, micro-meals, etc.

Angram, congrats on your 8 fertilized eggs... I hope they all make it through the journey so that you have some to freeze.

[IndieBlue]

Well here I am again LOL I had a bit of bloody cm today....so either I've started or ? We had to go out to a funeral home tonight and so I just threw on a pad and when I got home I checked it and it's clear again....so who knows.

Great birthday present; a negative test strip and some bloody cm on the way to a funeral.

Oh well, I still have a year till I turn 35 so maybe they'll be another study out there for me.

[angram]

Indie - Sometimes the crinone causes slight spotting, so that may be the case this time around. Try to keep the PMA, I know it's incredibly hard to do. Today is your birthday, so be happy and know that your little embie is fighting to stay HAPPY 34th BIRTHDAY!!! And BTW, you can still be in studies at an older age. I'm 36 and was accepted into this study, I think the cutoff ws maybe 40, but they took very few of us

[IndieBlue]

Ladies, I have enjoyed chatting with you all and watching everyone get their BFP's....sadly it's not going to happen for me this time around. I started seeing blood yesterday evening and this morning AF is here in full force. I'm sad that my little embryo's didn't make it....even sadder that we had none to freeze. We will keep praying about what God has in store for us and hug the children we have even tighter, we are truly blessed.

Thanks again for everyone sticking with me through all this....and wishing you all BFP's (those of you that don't already have one LOL).

[beccatx]

Indie- my heart goes out to you...I'm so sorry. Your attitude, encouragement, and insight have truly been a blessing to me throughout this study. You and DH will be in my thoughts and prayers.

[angram]

Indie - I am so very sorry to hear your news. Take good care of yourself and your family, I wish you nothing but the best. Good luck to you and whatever path your choose to take moving forward. It has been truly wonderful getting to now you! Hugs, kisses, and love... Angela

[karen266]

Indie- I am so sorry (HUGS) (HUGS)! I will continue to pray for you & your DH. Please take care of yourself & if you need to talk, you know where I am.

[stressball]

Indie........I dont know if I have words to comfort you.....I am soooooo sorry.....I wish I could hold you this moment and tell you that you are an amazing person.....you have been there whenever I needed you.....so THANK YOU......Let me tell you that you have achieved "motherhood" way before all of us........because you are a fighter......there should be another study out there that you can get in.....I will keep my eyes open for that....

[keiko1]

Indie - I am so sorry. I understand there is nothing anyone can say right now to make you feel better (believe me, I've been there) but please know that I will pray for you and your family. I know there will be another study that you will have no problem getting in to. Remember, If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it. Best ot you and your DH.
