soready~I am so sorry to hear your sad news. I was really hoping this was your time. I know there is nothing I can say to take away the pain. But I am glad you have options and are moving on to plan B. I know I get crazy from all the waiting around, so I'd be inclined to start again sooner than later. But if you wait until the new year you will have some good healing time (both mental and physical) so you will be totally prepared for your next cycle. so their are benefits to both. I'd go with your gut feeling on when to cycle again.
tripsmomma~I know what you are saying about the bloating! I feel gigantic (and I am normally a slim person!) Although my boobs are bigger too--which is kinda nice as I am a bit flat-chested normally! I am struggling more with the sleepiness and weepiness--im very moody with headaches. But feeling hopeful, despite all these crazy side affects! I betcha your DH will get better with the shots before you have to start the big progesterone ones--all the practise will help.
I went for my bloodwork today and all systems are go! The Doc said my E2 level is 1072. She said this is very good and shows I am responding well! So I continue on my same dosages and I go back on Monday morn for another bloodtest.

Went for our bloodwork today and the nurse said my estrogen level went from 25 (at our baseline) to 300 (in just two days), so they reduced my gonal to 225 (from 300) and I'm going in tomorrow morning for more bloodwork and ultrasound. I have to bring in my ganerelix (sp) as well. Again, feeling crampy, bloated, and EMOTIONAL. I think I cried 2-3 times today. Oh my, ESTROGEN!!! The nurse sounded like everything was fine, but of course I'm somewhat of a nervous wreck seeing that ganerelix is supposed to come on day 6 and tomorrow is my day 4!?!? Anyone help me chill out?

hi all.. soready- i'm so sorry for your negative result 
i feel very sad and empathize at how disappointed you must be. and i relate to the worry of making a decision of 'what's next and when'.. i had to make that decision about cycling for sept or oct and whether to do DHEA or not....and i gave myself a week to NOT think about it and allowed the answer to come to me- that helped as my brain can create much trauma for me.
i watched the 'sex and the city' movie last night and when charlotte gets pregnant, i just felt cynical and bitter, and imagined people saying to me 'that can happen to you too if you adopt first', and then me telling them to f-off. i know it happens to some women, but i'm just starting to hate this IF stuff in a different way lately. i've always hated it- but my bitterness is evolving and i feel myself detaching.
trippsmomma- i can't believe 29 follies- how wonderful for you! such a number is unheard of in my world. i'm happy things are progressing for you.
sue- i hope things are progressing for you also
, you've had a long haul and i so want this to be your time.
chris- are you starting in october like me? i'm sorry i can't remember, but i recall thinking we'll be going through this together..hope you're doing well.
priya, lynnie, and towachi- i hope you are all ok...or if you need to -cry your eyes out and feel sad until you don't need to anymore (i know i had to do that).. i welcome any messages from you if you need to vent or share how awful this can be, as i know i can relate. i'm thinking of you and sending hope and prayers your way.
love you all, karen

Hi all.
so sorry for not keeping intouch over the last few days.
Soready I'm sorry for your negative result, I know how hard it can be and now you have the decision to make whether to cycle this year or not. Give yourself time to recover from this cycle as I feel healing is needed to have a PMA for another cycle.
Priya: thanks for your support. When are you having your consult. I have totally lost track I'm really sorry, I think of all you guys all the time but have not felt that wonderful over the weekend. I hope you are well.
Karen I know what you mean about sex and the city. My neighbour fosters and I am always being told stories of how people adopt and then conceive. It makes me so cross because I know it will just never happen, My lovely DH has poor motility so no matter what happens the little swimmers just are never going to make it. You feel like you have to smile but just want to say go away and leave me alone. I too am feeling bitter today, can you tell. I saw my friends last night who have children maybe thats why I feel this way today.
Sue, I hope your cycle is running along smoothly and your taking things easy, preparing your body to be pg. I'm sorry your suffering with headaches, I had many of them and Priya also suffered with her last cycle, the hormones certainly do play havec with your body. Try meditation if you can, it sometimes helps if you can manage to focus your thoughts.
Nicole; thats great to have 29 follies, I hope they grow nicely and you get some great eggs. The cramping isn't fun either so take things easy and make sure no house work
Well my hysteroscopy went well. My uterus was normal but he did remove a polyp and gave me a good scrape so he said. I just wonder now when or if I will get a period as I did not ovulate this month, so I am feeling my cycle is alittle messed up this month. I am hoping and praying that the metformin helps me ovulate so I can do my FET in October with you Karen and hopefully a new cycle with Priya if you feel up to it.
I'm off all this week so I will do my best to keep updated with you all. I am thinking of you all the time and hold you all dear to my heart.
Take care
Kerry xx

Hiya Ladies~
Trippsmomma~All I gotta say is WOW! 29 follies! That is amazing! You must be so excited. I am definitley feeling whacked out from all the meds too. It is hard to focus here at work--I wish I was on holiday.
Kerry~It is good to hear from you. Im glad the hysteroscopy went well. Now you are all cleaned out and ready for your next go! I hope it didn't hurt--it sounds like it would be painful.
Priya~Good luck at your consult--please let us know how it goes. I hope they have some answers and a good plan for the next go.
Karen~I am happy to hear from you. Can you believe my fertile friends actually thought I'd be inspired by Charlotte's pregnancy in Sex in the City movie?! It is more like a kikck in the gut to me! We do not need Hollywood to gloss over the struggle of infertility like that! How are you feeling nowadays? Are you still doing those intense workouts at the gym?
SoReady~I hope you are doing ok during this horrible time. Just let your self cry if you feel it.
I just got back from my scan and I have 5 follies in range and a bunch of smaller ones bringing up the rear! (This is tremendous news for a poor responder like me!) The Doc also told me that my body is responding in a better way this time as they are growing slower (last time I stimmed in 6 days! not a good thing) So even though it is not the dozen eggs I was visulaizing--I am quite pleased.

Hey Guys
Kerry - Am so glad everything went fine with you. Enjoy you week off - you have been working too hard .... you deserve it - relax. Do you know when you will start the protocol for FET?
Sue - Grow follies, grow !!!! - Am sure you will get more than 5 for your retrieval (a dozen ). Hope you are feeling better and not too emotional anymore.
Nicole: WOW - 29 !!! - this is a great number. Am sure you will get many great eggs and embryos. Hope you are doing fine as well today - meds not affecting too much - listen to what Kerry says - no hiuse work
Karen : I did not see the movie but I hear you - ppl can be so insensitive. For some reason everytime I see a baby and if someone asks me abt being preg or something to do with a kid - I start crying ... I was never this emotional - donno what has happened this time - I blame it on the meds .... How are the messages and the chiropractic visits going? Hopefully all the pains are gone and you are feeling fine now.
Soready - how are you holding up? Hopefully IUI will work and you can save the frosties for their siblings
Lynnie - You appointment with CCRM is this Friday - right? All the best for that. Let us know how it goes.
I hope I did not miss anyone.
My Appointment with the doc went fine. He still thinks the problem could be with the eggs so we will try one more modified protocol and then see if we need to go for Donnor eggs or not. This time I had cyst on the left ovary so the eggs could not grow in that ovary. I want to start another cycle in a month or two but DH wants to wait till Jan to start it. We don't have insurance coverage till time for IVF. I hope I can wait till that long - seems far far away !!!! I also been having hot flashes this time everyday... doc said its the hormones - I hope that goes away as well soon
Talk to you guys tomorrow.
Have a good day/night/evening:
Priya

hi everyone... i'm doing ok. about to order my med's as i'll be stimming in about 3 weeks!! YEEK! i get freaked out at this stage.
so i'm trying to keep myself busy, yes, going to the gym a few days a week and working out hard- helps me sleep and lessens stress. i'm still having shoulder pain- not chiropractic anymore, just muscular and i have a massage appt in an hour to hopefully fix it somemore.
i'm in a weird mind space lately...focused on the financial impact of IVF and questioning how much more i can handle of this..and frankly, feeling sorry for myself and comparing myself to others who 'have it easier'. shitty place to be.
sue and nicole- hope things continue to progress for you. priya, lynnie, soready, chris and kerry (and anyone else..) hope everyon'es hanging in there. i'm so grateful we have each other. and it looks like a couple others will be cycling with me in late oct.
all the best, karen

Hello beautiful ladies:
I am sorry I have not been able to check on everyone to see how you are doing. I am back to school with a heavy workload. Even as I was writing I got interrupted by a colleague who needed my attention and advise on operational matters.
Soready, my heart aches for you sweetheart, but do not dispair, the Lord that giveth good gifts to his children is watching from above and he will give your perfect gift in due time.
Karen: I love you and keep praying for you. Your labor of love to have a child will be rewarded.
Priya: I missed you and I love you too. Stau focused, the author and finisher of our faith is an unchanging God, he will help you.
Sue: 5 follies are great, congratulations. We will continue to pray for a successful cycle. I love you too sister.
Tripps: Towachi sends her love across, you are almost there sister, stay strong and be prayerful. I am not only crossing my fingers for you I am opening them wide for heaven to send blessings from above to bless your follies to mature into goof eggs to fertilize, implant and become healthy babies.
Chris: I missed you, how are you doing today. Don't lose hope or focus.
To all the other ladies, I am strong for you and keep praying that this long journey and struggles will end very soon for us all.
For yours truly, AF is yet to appear. I started L-Arginine last Friday and 100mg of DHEA today. Let's hope that they do some magic in those ovaries.
Love, Towachi

Towachi~Thank you so much for your good thoughts and prayers! What are you studying in school?
Priya~I hope you get your next cycle sorted soon. I know I get crazy with all the wiaiting around and would rather cycle sooner than later. But it sounds like there are good reasons (money and logistics) to wiat until the new year. Follow yor gut and do what feels right. keep us posted.
Kerry~Did youget AF yet> I hope your cycle gets back to normal very soon so you are one step closer to your BFP.
Nicole~How are those 29 amazing folliclaes doing? I hope your stims are going well. I know I am so tired of feeling "medicated"! But I have a lot of hope.

Sue - 6 eggs is a very good number May be some more will sneak in and u will have more than 6 Do you know when you will trigger? I know what you mean - hang in there girl !!!!
Towachi : I love you too like everyone on this board ... you are too sweet and full of optimism which is what all of us need right now. Hope you do't have too much school work - I don't know how you manage all this ......
Kerry - I hope you are enjoying your week off and relaxing
Nicole - How are you doing and the follicles as well ? When do you trigger?
As for me - I am taking it easy. I will be going to visit family - parents and in-laws during next 4 weeks. Hopefully it will be relaxing. Everytime we visit them something or the other goes wrong and the trip becomes difficult. Hopefully this time it will actually be relaxing .... But I will still be in touch with all of you guys.

Priya~I hope you have a wonderful, relaxing getaway! Hopefully you will be rejuvenated by the trip and more ready to cycle when you return. I'm sure it will be nice to focus on something besides infertility for a while!
Karen~you can appreciate how precious each egg is for us low responders! Thank you so much for your support. I just hope every follie has an egg in it! I am glad to hear you are nurturing yourself in preparation for the next cycle.
Towachi, Lynnie, soready, nicole~ I hope you are all well.
So I am triggering tonight! My lining was at 11.9 today and all six follies in range! I am getting scared about the possibility of OHSS now after seeing some posts on another board--my E2 level is extremely high. And I have to trigger with a DOUBLE DOSE of ovidrel tonight to release my eggs properly! I sure hope this won't push me into OHSS!
(Last time my eggs were still hanging on at collection and they had to flush my ovaries multiple times. This was painful and also washed away cumulous cells from the eggs which affected the embryo quality. that's why they are giving me two trigger injections this time)
My Hubbs and I are going to the World of Wearable Art tonight (big New Zealand artistic/fashion production) so I will be injecting both my tirgger shots in the bathroom at the arena at 9:30! It is just terrible timing--but we bought the tix a year ago and didn't want to miss the show. I am kinda dreading it now as I will be stressed about doing my shots while Im watching the show!

Hey everyone,
Priya, glad to hear you are doing well, I hope your visit with family go well and you get to chill out and relax. If your leaving your next cycle until next year I think it can be good so you can give your mind and body a rest from constantly thinking about ivf. I know my husband certainly appreciates the break and I think he likes that I come here to talk to all you gals rather than chew his ear off. You take it easy
Karen: thats great news that your starting your meds I'm so excited, I think your going to be further ahead than me as I'm on day 32 of cycle and no AF or even feeling like it. I will be thinking of you and will be checking in everyday to see how your getting on. It time for you now, its your turn for things to go smoothly with a bfp. And well done for working out at the gym, you seem very motivated i'm sure it has all set you up for a great cycle.
Sue: Thats great news, how are your follies doing, I'm sure you'll be fine doing your shots when your out, just see it like being a diabetic they have to do shots when they are out in the public sometimes, I know you'll do fine. I'm excited for you, I'm sure all your follies will have eggs and you will get lots of little embryos PMA going here for you
Towachi: you sound really busy with schoolwork, I guess it is a good distraction from everything else that is going on in our lives. I know what you mean about waiting for AF, most of the year we hate it when it arrives and then sometimes it just wont come when we want it to, I'm waiting for mine also. You hang in there and good luck with the DHEA, Karen has been taking it for alittle while now, lets hope it works for all of you.
Soready: I hope your doing ok, do you have any plans yet or are you going to take some time out. Thinking of you, take care
Nicole: how are those 29 follies doing, i hope they are growing nicely and you will be having your ER soon. Keep us updated we are all rooting for you.
Well I have been enjoying my week off. I went out with friends from work on Tuesday night for dinner and then we ended up going dancing after, they all got very drunk which was very funny to watch, I however was very good and did not. I also had my neices over for dinner last night, its becoming a weekly thing and I'm really enjoying them coming, I think they appreciate time away from their mum too as she is 33 weeks pg and I think driving them crazy. I'm still waiting for my AF to arrive as I said earlier I'm wishing it would arrive soon and then I can roughly plan the coming months.
My DH and I have also been busy with our new business, a hog roasting company we are having a party in two weeks to cook our first pig for family and friends before we go out and do functions. Its exciting but very scary too. Anyway I hope everyone is well today.
take care all
