Sept 2008 - stimming buddies :)

[PriyaC]

Hey Guys:

First of all - thanks for all the support and best wishes and hugs and love I am back to normal now. Did cry my heart out yesterday in the morning then had to get back to work and meetings - I think that helped or it culd be the tequila shots I had

Am feeling positive abt things again Have my phone consult with the doc on Wednesday - its not going to be pretty for him . I am also going to set up phone consult with my doc in NYC. I really liked him and he was so confident that I will be preg but end of last year and wuld have my kid this ear for sure Unfortunately we had to move to Boston so ....... Since we are paying for it from our own pocket this time - I better go with him.

Lynnie - how r u holding up? I hope you are doing better.

Kerry - I was hoping you wuld ovulate this month Am so glad u did. Fingers, toes everything crossed for you dear - hope it happens this month naturally

Sue - Bravo for doing so many weeks on BCP. The time is here All the best with the stims - may you get lots of follicles and beautiful and healthy embryos implanted.

Soready - How is it going? You going crazy yet? Am sure you must be keeping yourself busy.

Karen - Am so glad you are feeling positive and your spirits are up. You never know I might join you and Kerry for Oct.

Towachi - let us know about your E2 levels Am sure you will see some increased numbers.

Well guys I am not leaving this board yet - will be checking on everyone daily. And all you guys pressure is on - you all better bring BFPs now. I will be joining you guys soon

Lots of love
Priya

Priya and Lynne: I cried my self to sleep think about what you two are going through but most importantly I prayed for you two and everyone of us in this board. For the rest of the ladies, who are in the process, lt us be optimistic and have faith for what we have not seen. Priya and Lynne, take time to recover and look uo to heaven and beleive that the God that started a good work in you will bring it to perfection.

Sue, Karen and Soreday, I am still looking forward the successful completion of your cycle.

For yours truly, I went for my E@ this morning and u/s. There are only two follicles growing, one in th eleft overy measuring 12mm and one in the right measuring 8mm, my uturus is measuring about 15 in tickness, which indicates that it is still thin. I will get a call from the dr this evening whether to continue my medication of cancel, but trust me I will go with the two eggs if they will allow me and provn all odds that God can do it even with one egg.

So will write when my numbers come in this evening.

Have a great day all

Towachi~I am thinking of you and hoping they do not cancel your cycle! I have read about so many women on these boards getting pregnant with only 2 and 3 eggs ! (Karen is one of those women, even though it ended tragically.) Do not lose hope. Please do let us know when you hear something from your RE.

Priya~I am glad you are feeling better today. It is good that you had a cleansing cry. I remember that was the turning point for me after I got my BFN. I felt so low and devastated and then I stayed up all night crying and the next day I felt like things were looking up. I hope that you are able to cycle again very soon with your favourite RE this time.

[lynniecat]

Hey, so definitely got that BFN as expected. I am very sad and some days I feel as though there is nothing left in life and I have failed. I hate it. However, I keep looking forward to my consult on Monday with the clinic in Denver.

[PriyaC]

Hey Lynnie - I know how you feel - I really do. I am feeling very low today for some reason .... All the best for your appointment with CCRM. Keep us posted.

Towachi - how were ur E2 numbers?

[Towachi]

Happy Sunday ladies:

I hope every single one of you is doing better today and looking forward to tomorrow. I have been busy since yesterday to log to the trade. I had my aunt that visited since May gong back home this afternoon. I went to a friend's husband's 50th birthday party last night and came home at 3:00am this morning, it was a bash. Had so much fun that I did not think about the follicles.

Back to basis, the E2 came back and it was still very low 25, the dr decide to cancel because my ovaries were not responding. I was on the flare protocol of lupron am and pm and Bravelle 450mg, that is highest dose anyway. So, he will think about what else to do, but I will tell him that my brain hates luprone. I am very optimistic and can only thank God for everything and that is the attitude I want each and everyone of us to have. We have no control, it does not matter what protocol or what we did to prepare ourselves, God has the final say. Children comes from him, the book of Psalm says that children are our heritage and the fruit of the womb is our reward. So in his own time, he will bless each and everyone of us.

I am glad I have the opprotunity to try, I am alife, healthy and can look up to heaven to say Thank you Lord for all the sisters in this board that are trying to concieve, we will overcome.

Love you all and I am constantly praying for all of us

[PriyaC]

Am sorry to hear abt the cycle cancellation Towachi. You are holding up pretty well which is amazing - you are strong.
Let us know what the doc says and when ur next cycle is going to be.

Hugs:
Priya

hi priya, lynnie and towachi.. i wanted to say how sorry i am for your struggle right now. i've been feeling okay the last while..but as i've said before, that's easy for me when i'm a distance away from a cycle. when i get closer i'm so fearful and sad even before i get bad news.

i hope each of you can find your right direction. i'm trying again. if it doesn't work next time, i'm not sure what i'll do..

you're all in my prayers, karen

[trippsmomma]

Hi ladies,
I am brand new to the board. We are about to start our 1st cycle of IVF this week and I'm pretty anxious about what it'll bring. We have one son who was conceived naturally after a vasectomy reversal. The reversal has reversed itself and we are back to square one. We are using frozen sperm retreived during my dh surgery. Anyway, this board seems great and I look forward to hearing everyone's stories. Anyone else stimming soon?

[SueQiwi]

Lynnie~my heart just aches for you. I was really hoping you had that BFP this time. I know there is nothing i can say to make your pain go away. But I am happy that you are able to cycle again. And hopefully they will have some good Docs and protocols in Denver.

Towachi~I am so sorry that your cycle got cancelled! I am glad that your faith is keeping you afloat and you are not shattered. Hopefully they can refine your protocol so the results will be better next time. Each cycle is different so there is hope that you will get tons of eggs next time.

Priya~I feel for you. it takes time to recover from the BFN. And even though you were feeling more up--you are still going to have those down dark days. big hugs for you.

Trippsmomma~welcome to our thread! I think I am pretty much synced up with you as I started stims today! I am glad we will be able to be cycle buddies. please ask questions galore--there is a lot of experience on this board. My first piece of advice is that the shots are a lot easier than they look. The idea is much worse than the actual injection! My first cycle I burst into tears when I received all my meds and syringes--it seemed so overwhelming. But this time I was actually excited to get them as it means I have hope of getting knocked up!

[PriyaC]

Sue - Am excited for you - so how are the first couple of days of stimms going? You must have ur first b/w soon.

Karen - So do you have ur protocol from the clinic ?

trippsmomma - welcome to the board. All the best with Stimms.

How is everyone else doing? I am off work today. Will be going to get my hair done in a short while - color and highlights - its been a long time since I did something new with my hair - want to try something new - surprise for my DH tonite - HAHA

Love
Priya

Hey Guys:

Lynnie - how did the phone consult with the CCRM doc go?

Kerry - All the best for the procedure on 25th.

Soready - Just 3 more days to go for the beta right - how are you holding up? Have you thought abt doing HPT?

Things are fine here. I called up the RE yesterday and insisted on face-to-face appointment. And got one for coming Monday - hopefully he will have some good news for us.....

Have a good day/evening/night guys
Love
Priya

Hey Guys,

I had my consult with CCRM and Dr. Surrey was very nice. I will go in next Friday for testing. At that point I will hear what they think about everything.

[trippsmomma]
