Hello Ladies,

Sorry I joined the board and haven't been around that much. Just trying to get my head around things, things seemed to move pretty quickly between my last BFN to now my awaited FET. Here is the update:

Had my ultrasound and blood work this morning; uterus lining is 9.9mm - 12.2mm which is good. The office is looking for around 10mm. I am continuing on my 1mg estrace 3 pills am / 3 pills pm. I also start my Progesterone this evening - 2x a day.

I will give update on blood work numbers as soon as I get them.

FET is scheduled for 11/18/08!!

Third time is GOING to be my CHARM!!!

Helen, you are moving at lightening speed. Nov 18th FET. That is awesome. How many embies will you transfer?

Elida, only 5 more days until beta. Will you pee on something before that or do you have the will power to wait it out?

Well my cyst is gone so my patch is off i am waiting for AF. Then i do a ton of day 3 labs and an AFC to give my RE more info on what protocol to but me on. I am guess it will be EPP but what the heck to i know. I can't wait.

Hello Lynnie and everybody else. Here's to being big fat and pregnant!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kelly,

I am so glad your cyst is gone, now your nexy cycle wil be healthy. I love your positive attitude, it is wonderful..

Well, DH and I broke down since my boobs were killing me all night. I sent him out to get a HPT... It is POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!! He was so excited, he got goose bumps and even had a moment of tears... All I can say is itwas a beautiful moment....I keep looking at the stick seeing if my eyes are playing tricks on me!! but it is there and I am shocked since it is only 6dp5dt...

About my boobs!!!!!!! OMG. They are so sore, even if my arm lays on them, they hurt.. However my boobs were always a dead give away I was pregnant, why should it be any different 18 yrs later.......LOL

I had such will power to wait too, but I just knew it. Anyway I am going to go get my nails done. have a wonderful day.

Elida,

I knew it, now we just need to know how many! I hope you get the two you are hoping for! CONGRATS! I am so excited for you!!!

Helen,

Good luck on the FET, just around the corner. So soon and maybe a + before TDAY! I sure hope so!

I am on day 2 of stims. I go in on Saturday - day 4 - to check estrogen and follies. I had so few this cycle to start with so I need ALL OF THEM to grow to even have a shot!

Hope all is going well for everyone else!

Good Morning Ladies,

I am not sure what I would do without everyones support, seems my friends aren't much support as they don't know what it is like.

Anyway, we have 2 blast frosties - 4AA and 4AB. Both ARE going to come through the defrost wonderfully and we will transfer both.

We will get the FET time on Sunday.

Hello Ladies,

Have a question. Maybe it is just me ...

Since starting IVF in June I have had no interest in sex at all. I think it has to do with all the poking and prodding being done with the blood work and vaginal ultrasounds, but I don't know.

Poor DH is about to 'DIE', well that is what he keeps telling me - LOL.

I was just wondering if it is just me?!?!?

CONGRATULATIONS ELIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shall we start a betting pool on how many you have snuggling in?

Helen, the ttc thing just really takes the joy out of it. They don't get it because they aren't really living it. They are not the ones going through all the procedures taking all the meds......just to have their bodies betray them. So they don't get it. KWIM

Hello everybody.

HI Ladies,

I hope everyone is have a GREATTTTTTTTT Friday. Kelly thank you so much for the congrats and for keeping up with everyones progress, it is a hard task and you are doing it well...

Spoke with my RE this morning, told them about my Positive result, so he had me make my 1st OB appt since I am high risk with being insulin dependant.. So I have my first beta Monday Morning and my 1st appt with mt Perinatologist at 1:30pm.. The women said when I made the appt that most likely they will be doing a sono, yippy, so I might get to see something sooner then the usual 6 weeks..
