Karen I can't tell you how thrilled I am for you and DH!!! Your gonna be a great mommy!

Hopinginpa So nice to here from you - I see you are doing ivf #4 in January. Best of luck for that cycle and I will be checking in on your progress.

It is 4:20am right now and I'm not happy to be up! But my power went off then right back on again at about 3:30 and I can't get back to sleep. I have to be up at 5 anyway to go to RE's office then to work. We have had so many BFP's on this board already it is so great. Let's keep it going...

Chris Did you get anymore news? How was the bloodwork? I may have missed a post, so forgive me if I'm behind. This has to be very frustrating for you.

Love you all....

Jill

Good morning ladies... Its almost 6:30 am here (I work way to early) but this board is such a good pick-me-up in the morning.

Congrats again Karen! And thanks for asking about me... my beta is Monday (11/17). I have to go in early for a BT and then come back in the afternoon for the results- How do they expect me to be able to work during that time?! :shock: I bet I'll be so excited/a nervous wreck that the day will fly by.

Hi I am testing on the 19th I am in the UK and will not have a beta level will just pee on a stick at home that morning (clear blue test)

Not feeling very positive today :cry: feel wiped out by the drugs but have a very strong feeling it has not worked this is my third 2ww and the first time it failed but I knew it had and the second time I was more hopeful and felt different - this time feels like the first time

sorry to be soo pesimistic it is just a feeling of emptyness i have today

Not too thrilled with my u/s although I know it is too early. RE only saw 3 follies on the one ovary that actually works. I already decided if we only get 3 this time I'm cancelling. I need at least 4.

gina1234,

I have lost 3kgs since i started the treatment, but I seem to have responded well now done previously, os keep your fingers crossed.
it may be a change in your diet, and probbaly an exercise program you have taken on, so do not bother, after all it minimises the bloating.

Best of luck

mally

congrats Karen...many blessings and prayers to you during the next 9 months!!
And to everyone else although I dont post much I am happy to see all the updates and wish everyone much baby dust.
Only 4 more BCPs for me then wait for my period...then a day 2 sono and blood work and stims here I come. DH is going in for his TESA on thursday...I have plenty of frozen peas waiting for his soon to be sore testicals~ LOL!

Quick question...anyone see any skin changes during stims? I have had cystic acne since I was 12, been on accutane 3 times as an adult and I finally have my skin under control...just curious if I should be prepared for a return of my acne.
Thanks as always.
