Thanks Everyone for the good wishes.

Sonu- Congrats. When you do get to see your heartbeat make sure there is a box of tissue close. I cried and Dr. started laughing and told the nurse to get me the box of tissues. We were laughing.

Wishful- Good luck I can't wait to hear how things are going.

Jude - good luck today.

Jennifer - good luck on your stims today!

If I missed anyone. Sorry I can't keep up.
Good luck everyone.
Take care

Wow - lots of good things going on. Congrats Sonu on seeing the little beanie - so cute. I'm happy to hear all looks good. I know the 29th and 30 seem like forever for you and Jude but hang in there ladies!! You've made it through other long waits for news (like the 2ww) - you will get through this too. I am so happy for you both - it's so exciting!!

Good luck Carolyn with the fitness assessment and meeting next week. Definitely keep us updated with the DE.

Rosario - I agree with Carolyn, call the doc. I'm not sure how that works.

Bella - good luck with your final bloodwork.

Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. I went for another u/s and b/w this morning. My lining is 9.8 and there is now 17 follies! I am so happy about that - definitely more than last time. I will be taking the trigger shot tonight and go for ER on Saturday. I'm so excited! I'm also happy I'll have a second day to recover at home (Sunday) before returning to work.

Hey yal...it's good to hear the good news from you all, and
hang in there for those who have bad news.

I just got news from re that my E2 level was 115 after 4 days of stimming
and that I should up my medicine to 2 bravelle and 1 menupur.
I'm having my us/bw this saturday, what should I expect?
I guess they will measure things right?
Anyway, I'm off to do some excercise on my house stairs..I run
up and down them 10 times in a row..it used to be 21 until
I started stimming and with my dizzy spells.
So I'll update later

[ndgo82]

good luck jenniferdp on your follies.

Hi Everyone

Just an update, had my third and final Beta today 2308 Looking good so far I have my first U/S on Monday 7/21, i think they are just looking for the sac. Then another U/S on 7/31 and the final one on 08/11. I also asked how long I had to take the progesterone, baby aspirin, and estrogen and the re said about 8 weeks after transfer i can stop. I am guessing that is roughly right around the final U/S Can;t wait to at least see something, though the 31st will be much more exciting with the heartbeat hopefully

hope everyone is doing good. I am getting pretty tired in the afternoons these days. Going to take a nap here before dinner. Dh is cooking

I'll catch up soon

[jude7702]

Hey all!

Sonu - I'm so glad you got to see your beanie!! Counting down the days with you!

Venus - how exciting, not long now. Enjoy your poke free day tomorrow!!

Bella - that's a great 3rd beta!!! It's funny how different offices are on different timelines isn't it? I looked at your signature and we had the ER on the same day! I am envious of you having a scan in only a few days!! I am sure with those numbers you will find your beanie sac (s!) in just the right place

I had some pretty strong low cramps earlier, and am super tired today. Is anyone else strong cramps? It felt just like AF, but wasn't thank God. Went away when I rested for a while so I'm hoping it was just normal.

rosario and jennifer - grow follies grow!! ndgo - you too!, and at your u/s they will look for the follies and see how many and how big they are, and check E2 levels again. Good luck!

Wishful - hope the fitness check went well - are you joining a gym, or was it at a docs??

take care all

The days are becoming longer and longer. I cant wait until saturday comes. I can imagine how much of a wreck i will be to be done stimming and actually getting to ER and ET. I am estimating if all goes well maybe by the first week of Aug to go thru with ET, am i right? My clinic does 5 day transfer and i am planning to transfer 3-4. If i make enough maybe donating whats left. I have to think of these things before hand because everything does make a difference. If only i could donate directly to someone i knew needed them. I dont think they do that though right?

[Bella123]

hey there,

Jude - I have had cramps since transfer. they have gotten progressively stronger the more "pregnant" I seem to be I asked the nurse last friday b/c I was certain my af was coming thats how bad they have been. She said it is perfectly normal as long as heavy bleeding is not happening. if anything , she said it is a good sign as the embies are burrowing even more into the lining I am fine and then wham, cramps for about 5 - 10 minutes then they subside. They even wake me up at night. I haven't had a good nights sleep since we found out ... I am certainly not complaining ...but I think my mind is active and i feel all these new things Try not to worry too much, your numbers are so high is very possible you have more then one so i imagine you will be feeling some stuff. I am pretty excited to see something on monday

rosario - I know it is so hard not to wish time away quickly . I stimmed for 11 or 12 days then you get trigger and 36 hours after trigger you have ER...so beginning of aug sounds right for you. :)I felt the same way if I had any left....we ended up going to 6 day transfer with 6 the night before, but only two made it until transfer day so we didn't have that decision to make since they put two in .

venus - yeah! I am so excited. remember to drink gatorade and stay off your feet for a little bit it helped me with bloating

sonu - so exciting! I can't wait to see something, anything hahaha

ndg - yes, they measure and take your e2 levels. you can ask them how many are measurable if you want...they told me everytime, but i know sometimes you have to ask good luck

jennifer - grow follies grow!

took a nap , still tired.....

[babyscoming]

Hello ladies, I'm new her but so glad I stopped by. I need all the heads up and it's great to know there are others going through this at the same time as me. We decided not to tell anyone we would be doing this and it has really been a lonely ride for me.
I am scheduled for ET on the 21st but need an u/s today to make sure it will happen. I was thrown a curve ball during ER that has had me in a panic since. I was on the long Lupron protocol and my body had a reaction to it. I got very congested with a major ear infection. Turns out, it was a reaction to the Lupron and my entire body was full of mucus. (TMI).. sorry. I have tried to find information on this but haven't had any luck. I now have cervical mucus which puts my IVF on hold. The dr. will decide if it's a go today. Fingers crossed.
It's too late to ask if anyone's had this and what they've done about it but it would be nice to know if anyone else has heard of this.
Very happy for you girls with BFP.. Can't wait to hear how many stick.

[Rosario]

Oh god my appointment is tomorrow. I cant wait!!!!!! How is everyone? Hope all is well with everyone and everything.

[steph2]

Jude - Your numbers are great, I wouldn't worry too much about the cramping as long as you are not bleeding. I had alot of cramping when my daughter was implanted.

Rosario - Goodluck tomorrow

As for me AF is finally here and now I have to wait til the 26th to start BW.

[Rosario]

Well i went to my appt and they want me to start stims the day i start my period. RE said it should be in a couple of days. I will be on 600 units of Follistim. I am so anxious.
