Hi Everyone,
I have been lurking a little but not posting much.

Wishful, Jcurly, Turtles and Kate (((HUGS))) sorry to hear about your BFN.

Jude and Bella - Good Luck on your test.

Sonu911 & ADSgirl - Congrats on your BFP :lol: :lol:

Hope everyone else is doing good.

My cycle was cancelled today. I have been on Lupron for 5 weeks and they have been unable to suppress me. Last week my E2 level went from 480 to 130 but this week they said it went back up. I didn't ask to what. So now I am in limbo, don't know what they will do next. I am just really frustrated. I am not an expert but I don't see why they cut my Lupron dose in half from what it was last cycle. Why couldn't they have just cut it from 20 to 15 to see how I did with that. then when I wasn't suppressed, why didn't they up my Lupron dosage. I guess that is a question I will have to ask the RE. My RE is on vacation this week so I won't find out till next week of what we will do next. So now off to wait some more. If I keep on waiting I will be too old to have kids.

Kate - I am so sorry :( Good luck with all your decisions, I am sure it is really tough. This is only my first and what a roller coaster it has been. try and stay positive. Take some time for you and your husband :) Thanks for the warm wishes . I think it is me and Jude to end the week :)

Jude - good luck on Friday! I can't beleive the time has come. It felt like it was never going to be here! Can't wait to hear!

I broke down ladies and POAS this morning. it was positive...I don't know what to think I am scared to think the best :) i wasn't going to tell DH but couldn't keep it from him. He was soooo excited! For almost two years we have seen nothing but negatives, it was so fun to see a positive! I am keeping my hopes high but still being realistic. 6:30 a.m. for me but no results til the afternoon. to be continued....... :)

lots of hugs to everyone! I don't know how I would have even made it this far without all of you! Thank you so much!!

to_have_fun08 Hey the same thing happened to me. My levels kept going up but they said it was because i developed a cyst on my left side. I was on Lupron for 4 wks. What they did was cancel my cycle but put me on birth control pills for 21 days. I am currently on day 15 of them and my levels went from 156 to 7 (haha i work at a clinic and have checked my e2 levels weekly since week one of bcp). Now i am afraid i am over suppressed because they want the e2 levels to be around 40-60 top. Hope all goes well. Do you have to start all over?

Congrats bella on your BFP. I definitely know how you feel seeing all those negatives on HPTs.

to_have_fun - I'm sorry. they will get it figured out. Take care.

Congrats Bella. I understand your feelings. I didn't PAOS but I got my BFP that Monday and I am still very nervous everyday. I just can't believe it.

ndgo - wtg on your stims. It feels good to go to the next step! Good luck.

Kate- Sorry about you BFN. Take care of yourself.

Hope everyone else is doing well. Sorry if I missed you.

As for me still taking it pretty easy but it feels good to get up and move some more. I started feeling sickly last Friday and yesterday was really bad. Felt pretty good today which freaked DH out. Poor thing just worries a lot.

I am absolutely terrified everytime I go to bathroom but so far so good. My us is next Wednesday. Can't wait and dread it all at the same time. DH and I just.

I hope all is well. Take care everyone!

Hello ladies! Is anyone else's butt totally hurting from PIO shots? They weren't bothering me at all the first two weeks, but now...holy crap...both cheeks HURT. BAD.

Tarabel - So excited for you having your U/S next week! Try not to be so worried...you're prego!

ndgo - Congrats on getting ready to start stims! Are you nervous? I was a little nervous before I started, but I was just so excited to get MOVING! Good luck on Sunday...how soon will you go in for your first monitoring?

Kate - Oh, Kate...I am so so so sorry about your BFN. I'm sure you and your DH will make the right decision about continuing or not...I know it must be so hard. Hugs and prayers to you, Kate.

To_have_fun - This is clearly SO frustrating for you...I'm so sorry your cycle got canceled, and I think you have some great questions for your RE after he/she gets back from vaca. Hopefully they will give you some real answers and have a plan for what they will do differently...otherwise have you thought about consulting another RE?

BELLA!!! Awesome news about your HPT! I know what you mean about finally seeing that positive. I never even saw positives on ovulation tests before...so to see a positive on a HPT was truly exciting. Congrats to you...can't wait to hear your beta!

Jude - Hang in there, girl...one more day to get through before your beta...my fingers and everything else are crossed for you!

Sonu - thanks for the warm wishes! When is your next beta?

Babygurl - so is your ER tomorrow or Friday? Good luck with that!! I hope they got lots of great healthy eggies!! I'd say by your great E2 levels you are going to get a nice bunch!

ndgo - wow, Sunday is not long! You'll be poking your stomach before you know it!

and Adsgirl - Owwwww! I'm with you on the butt pains! My DH is doing a good job and I'm sat on the hotpack as I write this, but laying down is getting to really suck on either side now! How long do you keep doing them for? Does your RE put you on the suppositories?? Thanks for keeping everything crossed for me!

tohavefun - I'm so sorry that your cycle has been cancelled. That must be incredibly annoying when you just want to get it done. I hope they can bring your levels down. Keep us posted.

Tara - Wednesday will be here soon, try not to worry too much, and think happy positive thoughts for your little one/s snuggling in there :)

And not least, Bella!!!!!! Congratulations on your BFP!!!!! Can't wait to hear your numbers tomorrow!!!! Wow!!!!!! Lets finish off this week in style!

I am still waiting for friday to roll around, this morning it seemed so far away. but I know tonight when I go to bed, and wake up in the morning, it'll finally be 'tomorrow'! Still so far so good with the POAS, but worrying that it's all going to go away.

Baby dust to all :)

Adsgirl- boy can I sympathize. My Progesterone shots did not really start to bug me until a few days ago. Then 2 out of the last 3 have burned so bad they brought tears to my eyes. But I have 29 left!!!!

When do you get to stop your shots and how have you been feeling. Crackers are my best buddies now :D

How everyone else is doing well.

Bella - That is an awesome #, CONGRATS :lol: :lol: :lol:

Rosario - In your first cycle did you use BCP before starting Lupron? For my RE we don't do BCP's but maybe that is what they will do for my next try. As far as your number being so low, maybe you should contact your RE. In BCP there are some with less drugs so maybe they can lower the dose so you won't be over suppressed. Just a thought. So when do you begin all the shots? Good luck to you.

Sonu - Congrats on your beta #'s. I am so happy for you.

ladies I know this is jumping the gun, but how do I figure out how many weeks preggo i am considered at this point? I did ER 6/25 and ET 7/1? I was just curious where you count from?

sonu- yeah i am so happy your numbers went up...don't worry you are good and as long as they double that is all that matters! i am still a nervous wreck at 129 so I understand though :)
