Hi ladies. Sorry for not being able to post any messages. Was crazy busy. I'm still on page 32, will post more after I finish reading.

babyloves - congratulations!!! You must be in heaven.

Had my ER yesterday. Got 7 mature eggs, not the number i was hoping for but better than last time. Waiting for my fert report. Slept all day yesterday and still hurting.

Good luck everyone.

ndgo82 - I got my fingers crossed for you to. Here's hoping for a great beta number!! Good luck!!

baby_crazy - Alright on 7 mature eggs. Hope you have a great fert. report.

Jharris - Great to hear your beta is doubling. I am so happy for you.

Val - sorry you have had a horrible headache for so long. I think Tylenol is all they said I could have for headaches. I hope you feel better soon. Hope your b/w work went well today. I don't go in till tomorrow.

Biddy - 7 normal is a good number to work with. Are they going for 3d or 5d transfer. Good luck!!

Rosario
- Your embies look great!! Hope your 2ww flies by for you.

Chris - Here's hoping everything is normal and you get to start stims!!

As for me everything is going good. My shots are fine. I have had a few headaches, but I always get headaches. Hope everyone else is having a good Monday!!

Hi everyone....just wanted to take a minute to catch with everyone. I am still in the dreadful 2ww and have not yet poas - today is only 7dp3dt. I think I will tomorrow.

Val Hope you are feeling a little better....Tylenol is allowable, but I know it does nothing for me, I hope it helps you. Have you had an u/s yet?

ngdo82 Hoping you get a great beta number! We are on a BFP streak on this thread!

turtles Glad to hear you are doing well...grow follies grow!

jharris Good luck for beta #3! and congrats on ending the pio! I hate those shots!

Hoping When do you go for your next beta? My thoughts are with you!

I know I missed a bunch of people - I'm wishing you all the best!

Ngdo82-Can't wait to hear your beta!

JDC-Cant wait to hear about your POAS results tomorrow. I didn't think the 2ww was bad but I really tried to keep busy.

Adsgirl-thanks for checking in on us. How are you feelling?

Val-hope your headache is better.

Well as for me. I took the day off from work...I am still bleeding...some cramps but not terrible. My beta is rising, it was 87 today. They don't know what to think. I have to continue PIO shots and recheck on Wednesday. I am really nervous with the bleeding but the RN said it can be normal and we will have to wait and see. This is worse than the 2ww......

Hey Everyone,

ndgo - CONGRATS on the + POAS. Here is to a high Beta #.

HopinginPA - I am sorry this is so stressful. At least your #'s are getting higher. Why can't anything be easy for us?

baby_crazy - Congrats on ER. 7 is still a good #. I know people want more (even I do) but we got to take what we can get. It only takes one and I am sure you will have a lot of eggies that fertilize.

valerie98 - Sorry to hear about your bad headaches. I had a lot of headaches when I was on Lupron. I don't remember having too many on stims. Get some good drugs. :lol:

JDC - Good Luck with POAS. I am praying for a BFP for you.

Alminoyi - Congrats on being PUPO.


I just got the call, my E2 level is 83 which is a little high and my FSH level is 7. I have around 11 antral follies. So I get to start stims. YEAH :lol: One step down. Now all I have to do is keep away any dominate follies and make it to ER.

Things have been so busy at work, home and on these boards, I'm having a hard time keeping up!!

baby_crazy: Congrats on ER!! I'm sure it wasn't what you were hoping, but 7 is still a good number! I've seen plenty of BFP with the same or less! Good luck. Cant wait for your fert report!

babyloves: That is great that your US is Friday!! I'm excited for you! :lol:

ndgo: Can't wait to hear your beta after those +HPT's!!

turtles: Glad to hear the shots are going well!! I also had frequent headaches before IVF!!

JDC: Good luck if you decide to POAS, just know that it could still be too early. I didn't get my +HPT until 12dp3dt. And thanks, I'm glad I'm done with the PIO, but I don't know if the Prometrium suppositories are much better!! :lol:

alimoyni: What beautiful babies you have there!! And congrats on the 3 frosties! You are now PUPO!!

hopinginpa: It looks like your numbers are doubling as they should, maybe they just implanted late, so the numbers are still low. Mine aren't much higher than yours. Plus, if I remember correctly, you were tested several days before me, so maybe they just started testing too early. How many days past transfer are you now? I'm sure your numbers will be better Wed.

to_have_fun: Yeah on starting stims!! One step closer! Good luck!

valerie: Has that headache gone away yet? Are you taking Tylenol?
Hope you feel better.

How are the rest of you ladies? I said earlier Prometrium 2x a day, but its 3x a day!! Just noticed my typo! And I can't wait for my 3rd beta tomorrow. I am so hoping my numbers jump so I am no longer concerned about them being lower than everybody elses!! Have a great day everybody!

Everyone is moving on so fast now i'm having trouble keeping up!!!!


So many BFP's !!!!Congrats to anyone i havent already said it to !!!!! BFP's give the rest of us so much hope as well - its one for the team !!!! All you PUPO ladies get ready to join them......


Also so many ladies in the ER, ET, zone right now!! rosario & alimoyni i loved you little embies & blasts!!

Many of us i think are now stimming. At home we had arranged that dh would play 'doctor' when it came to the meds but my clinic has asked that i give them at 5pm every day so they can alter amounts if necessary following afternoon bloodwork. As my dh works afternoons and evenings i now have to do it myself (uh oh). The strangest thing about this is the disappointment on my dh's face!!! He said he was 'really looking forward to doing it' (maybe i should be worried !!!!)


Best wishes to you all

Hi Everyone

Hope ya'll had a happy Monday!

babyloves- Your beta numbers look great. Good luck with the U/S!

ndgo82 - Congrats on you BFP. Can't wait to hear the beta number :)

baby crazy_ I hope you got a good fert. report. When will your transfer be?

Jharris and Hoping - glad to hear the numbers are doubling.

Val - I am sorry to hear about your migraine. I have gotten those on and off for years. I hope you are feeling better


Good Luck to everyone stimming

To those on the 2ww. I hope it goes fast and lots of baby dust to you.

I had my u/s today and bw. Everything looked great so I am officially stimming now :) :) :) It is getting close and I am very excited. There was some confusion and lack of communication at the doctors office today. They are having me take a growth hormone this cycle for a few days. They told me in the morning that I will start that once the follies get to a certain size. Then when someone else called me to tell me to start the stims in the afternoon she told me to start today. Then when I said they told me to wait she checked the file and said oops yea don't start today. I got home and read the sheet the first nurse gave me and it had today's date to start. LOL. I think they are just trying to mess with me on a Monday :). 1st stim day down only about 10 more to go.

Go Team August!!!
