Wishful, I'm so sorry. FWIW, I heard what Bella123 did - that you can't get AF while you're taking all the meds. I'm still hoping you're wrong.

Jude and AdsGirl, congrats! I know there can be false negatives, but I think the positives are always right - isn't that true?

We did a HPT yesterday -- only one line. I'm trying to stay positive, but feeling discouraged. Two days till beta.

jcurlygirl - Did you POAS this weekend? Sounded like you were thinking about it...hope all is well! Thinking of you...you must be dying waiting til Wednesday for your next beta!

Kate - Try to stay positive...my positive is just barely showing up on the HPTs, so your BFP might still be right around the corner! When is your beta? Tuesday? Same as me? Anyway - thinking of you and still praying for your BFP!!

Turtles - How are you doing, lady?

POAS again this morning...still looks promising. Can't wait to hear those beta numbers tomorrow to put my mind at ease a bit! Happy Monday everyone!

[Bella123]

good luck for todays and tomorrows betas!!!!

Hey everybody..I hope all is well with everyone.

Well I just got back from re's office today and I got my u/s
and she said she saw 15 on my right ovari and 17 on my left.
I guess that's good without even stimulating yet.

I was supposed to start stimming on this thursday but
they forgot to tell my husband to take the doxy so now I have
to wait until Sunday to stim

I want this overwith all ready..darn. Anyways I'll get my E2 level
back with a call this afternoon, they said anything below 60 is a go
ahead so I'm praying.

Good Luck yal.

Hang in there ladies!!! I know the waiting can be agonizing... I'm crossing my fingers for all of you going in for your test this week. I'm hoping to hear lots of BFP news!!

Congrats Jude & Adsgirl!! Love hearing about positives!!

Keep thinking positive thoughts wishful - sorry about the negative result.

Well I'm STILL WAITING for AF!!! So frustrated and now, worried. What's wrong? I'm usually like clockwork. Why is this happening? Did my ovaries just go caput?? Why is AF not here? I'm 6 days late!! That's NEVER happened - including when I came off my failed IVF cycle. I called the doc today and they have me coming in tomorrow for bloodwork. They will check my progesterone to see if I ovulated and will give me a pregnancy test as a precaution. I've taken 2 and both are negative so I'm really not holding out hope for that. Now I'm nervous something is wrong. I've had one high FSH reading (12. - are my ovaries starting to fail now? Sorry - just venting. I'll have more info by tomorrow morning. I've just been so anxious to start this second cycle. I was suppose to do it back in April but I suffered a back injury that put me out for 3 months. So we delayed doing IVF (my back injury, PT and meds for that would have interfered with the success rates for the IVF - why go through all that knowing my odds are less b/c of the injury). For instance, I took lots of Alleve to reduce the inflammation in my back - which is bad for uterus lining... During this time, a coworker of mine who is a good friend got pregnant "accidently" so I think that's made me more anxious to get back to trying to get pregnant too. It was nice to have a little break from couting my days and calendaring everything but now I'm ready to get back on the horse.... Why won't my body let me?

Hi Everyone

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Wishfull sorry about your news. Try to keep positive. Thinking of you.

Hi guys, I am just ending my month of birth control pills. On Thursday, which will be my 2nd day off pills, I go to Cornell for a Sonogram and Blood. I'm not sure if I start that evening but my protocol is micodose lupron, follistim and menopur...

Just wanted to give you an update...

Best to all.

Jennifer

Hey all,
Bella123, thanks, I think the POAS is up to you! If you do, then I think people can see a positive as early as 9 days post retrieval?, but this is not so common - and a lot of people don't get a positive even up to the morning of the beta, so don't be discouraged if you don't - you are almost at thursday now too. I was going to wait to the day before, but thought I'd make sure the trigger shot was gone, and wasn't expecting to see a +ve when I did! Now I'm worrying it'll go away again before Friday comes with the beta.....ah, always something to obsess over!! Still looks good this morning though, and just went to store and bought some more to keep checking each day!

Venus - whenever we finally wish for AF to come, is when it doesn't. This is known as sod's law! I hope it comes soon, maybe with the stress of waiting it's putting it off some.

jenniferdp, - good luck at cornell! Where is that anyhow? I know it is meant to be one of the best clinics.

ndgo - wow, that's a great follie count to begin with. Fingers crossed for your E2, and then can't wait to hear how they grow!

Kate - thanks - keep your chin up, hoping for a +ve for you soon. I know some peoples +ve do go away, but unless you had a really dodgy set of HPTs they seem to be accurate but mean a chemical preg...

Tara and Turtles and Steph, how are you?

Good luck for all betas today and tomorrow

Well, I hope that covered everyone and everyone's Monday is flying by x

[jcurlygirl]

Hi all well I did POAS this weekend and again this am both BFN!! So I called my RE and asked for a beta today so that if it was negative I could not have to refill my medication. And guess what BFN!! <1 She said I definately did implant and the embryo just stopped growing. She also said to expect a really heavy period, passing lots of clots and that it may be painful. She told me to call if I need pain medication. I am just in a really low place right now. I expected this but it isn't real until you hear it. I called my work because I was to go back to night and work a 12 hour night shift, I can't even concentrate or stop crying. Well what a ride it was, I can only look forward to the future. We have 4 snowbabies and I hope to have a FET in the fall.

Thank you for all the wonderful support, you are all amazing women!

Thinking about you. Take care of yourself.

[jude7702]

aw Jcurlygirl, Big Hugs to you ((((((( ))))))). Take care of yourself and rest from the rollercoaster.
I really hope and pray for you and your snowbabies come the fall.

Hey guys i hope all is well with everyone. I see more of you guys have been POAS and got positives. Well I hope the best to everyone.

I wanted some insight (once again) on my situation. As some of you guys know my cycle was cancelled because my e2 levels kept raising and i developed a cyst on my left side before starting stims. I was on Lupron for almost 4 weeks. Well when they cancelled my cycle they went ahead and put me on BCP for 3 weeks. I was curious to know what my E2 levels were last week and in the lab report it said <7 low. My level before they cancelled it was 156. So my e2 levels went from 156 to <7 in just one week of taking BCP. Is this normal? Can this be a sign of being oversuppressed?

[venus25]

Jcurly - I am so sorry. I'm sending you big big hugs.... You'll bounce back - you got so close this time so next time it will work!!! Take all the time you need to heal and cry all those tears out. We're here for you - keep that in mind.

Sorry Rosario I don't know the answer to your question. However, there are lots of wonderful women on here so I'm sure someone will be able to help you out.

Well all my stressing was for nothing AF has FINALLY arrived. Of course, she arrived after my care team left the office for the day. I'm scheduled to go in tomorrow morning for bloodwork and a pregnancy test to see why AF was not here.... So when I go in tomorrow morning, I will have to explain that I no longer need such testing - instead I need the baseline testing to begin IVF #2. Yeah!! I'm so anxious to get started - doesn't that sound crazy? It's as if I'm saying, I can't wait to poke myself with needles for two weeks, have my hormones race all over, swell up my ovaries so I feel like I have 2 baseballs in my stomach, and to top it off make me sit on the edge of my seat every couple of days for my cell phone to ring with new information from a nurse or embryologist... As crazy as it sounds, I really am excited to get going on this. I've done it before so I know I can do it again. This time, however, I'm hoping it will end with a BFP and eventually a baby in my arms

[Bella123]

jcurly - I am sooo sorry!!! big huge hugs to you!!!!!!! good luck with the snowbabies!!!!
