Wow! The positive vibes on this board are just overwhelming!! Congratulations to all of the BFP's today!!
I'm off the Lupron after today and start the progesterone tomorrow. FET on Thursday!! But I think the stress and meds. are getting to me, I feel really run down and headachy so I'm just trying to take it easy for Thursday.
Take care all.
OCT / NOV / DEC 2008 Buddies
Congrats to everyone with a BFP. I am sorry i am hiding out here but please believe I check up on every single one of you guys. My hubster usually says "Oh god there you are again reading those posts" . I love it its the only way to keep myself sane.
Here i am with a question for you guys. Prior to my last IVF cycle, AF was always regular at 35 days. I bled Aug 22 (still on PIO) and then Oct 6 (45 days later). I am current;y waiting on my next AF which is still a little too shy to show her face. If my cycles are in fact 45 days long it will start on Nov 20th. Do you guys think my RE will be concerned with this. A couple of years back i used to have 28 days cycles then 30... gained some more weight went up to 35 and maintained that for a couple of years but now 45 days seems a little off the charts. What do you guys think about this?
My appt is this Wednesday and I was hoping to have AF by yesterday so RE could have done DAY 3 testing if it was necessary but don't think thats happening. Any input is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!

Rosario I have seen several people get cycles delayed and messed up for a couple of times after a failed cycle - all those hormones mess us up - so i dont think its too unusual. I also think your RE can give you something to make AF start if she is not co-operating!!! I would call and see what they suggest - by the way, its good to hear from you 
Congrats to all our BFP's !!!!
NY4th I'm really pleased you got that BFP you totally deserve this. Hope your beta goes thru the roof next time !!!!

Hi everyone. I am fairly new to this board. I have been reading the posts since the end of September but for some reason I was never successful in retrieving the key via email to start posting until a few days ago. However, I am excited to say CONGRATULATIONS to everyone that has gotten a BFP. I am sorry for those that have gotten a BFN but I pray that the next time will be a BFP.
Rosario, I had problems with AF for a while due to endo and firboids. In the past year AF seemed to come whenever and in February I was diagnosed with PCOS. That diagnosis explained my weight gain and lack of a regular period. I am not saying that anything is wrong with you that is causing AF to be "little off the charts" but I do think it's worth discussing with your RE.
To give everyone a little background info on me. My DH & I are both 31. He doesn't have any problems but I seemed to have them all!
In the past I have had 2 laparascopic surgeries to remove endo and fibroids, the last one in 2001. I have been married for 2 1/2 yrs and have been TTC for about 1 1/2. In Dec '07 I had an HSG which showed that both of my tubes were blocked and in February '08 I was referred to my RE who discovered two large fibroids and that I had PCOS. I had to immediately start taking Metformin for the PCOS and several tests were performed before I had surgery in July '08 to remove both tubes. In addition, they found & removed 4 fibroids instead of 2 and they also did ovarian drilling to help with the PCOS. Of course after all of this I had no chance of conceiving naturally so in October I started the very expensive IVF cycle. I don't have the exact dates of when everything started in front of me but I did have my ER on 11/11. 16 eggs were retrieved and 13 fertilized. I was supposed to do a 3dt but instead they pushed it to a 5dt so I just had that done on 11/16. I put 3 back although RE said they looked great and I got the call today that unfortunately none made it to freeze. So I am officially in the 2ww. It has been a very long journey so I am really praying for a BFP this 1st time around!
I am so thankful for the board. As I have been reading through all of the posts, it is so amazing to see the support that everyone has for each other. I wish everyone the best throughout it all!

WOW!! congratulations NY, waiting4four, and much hope (and yes, waiting, CM can be a sign of being PG)
your news is soooo wonderful, and robin, i'm so happy to hear your beta's rising too! and kke- having 13 fertilize is amazing! what great chances you have with those numbers.
jdc- hang in there with patience for your follies- mine weren't much bigger than that on day 6 of injections. i had several at 11, and some at 14...sometimes they just need more time and then they take off and grow quickly. this is such a hard stage and in my opinion, YOU CAN WHINE ALL YOU WANT...you've earned the right to *****, moan and complain..we all have.
prayin4bfp..i so relate to knitting the baby blanket- sounds like you just want to feel hopeful and excited about the possibilities...and i don't think anything is wrong with that. if superstition brought or took away babies- we could all summon babies with a 'baby dance'. knitting something won't keep a baby away...hell, some women have babies after smoking crack.. (although knitting may continue to cause fights with the DH)...
nothopeless yet- good luck with your insurance proceedings..it'll be nice for you to get that out of the way. .
sloan- sorry to hear about your scary spotting. hang on til that u/s..and gina, it's hard to know if it's implantation bleeding or not, but feeling like AF is coming is classic pregnancy sign.
bell-- SO EXCITED for your FET this thursday woohooo!!
rosario- hmm.. in my case (high fsh, diminishing ovarian reserve) having a shorter cycle is indicative of me losing my eggs, so you having a longer one?? not sure what to say.
mrs. cutter- check out betabase.info great website for education on beta testing and average scores based on days after transfer /conception
hi foreverlove, chris, ..melo and marynaz- look forward to those beta results soon.. praying for youboth .

Just a quick post because I need to get to work....well I have 3 follies all at 12 mm. RE said she thought we were going to have to cancel today, but to our surprise there was some growth. I'm hangin in!
mrscutter - that is so funny you mentioned talking to them because just this morning the RE that did my u/s asked me if i'd been talking to my ovaries!
Chris - I'm sorry, I was trying to rush you! I thought your b/w was today. Thanks for reminding me about Val, it helped. I've always gotten mature eggs out of each follie, so if I could get one or two more I'd be in good shape.
Karen - how are you feeling? Thanks so much for your support!
I'll catch up later..........

SO much good news on the board! Congrats to all the BFPs! Many thoughts to the ladies who came up BFN...Im sorry and will be praying for you.
For all who answered my post about knitting the blanket...yes I can see both sides of the issue now. I am not a superstitious person and I never thought DH was but I guess he is a little. We talked about it and he said he understood where I was coming from and the only thing he asked is that I dont finish it until we get a BFP. I get that. The funny thing is I am a sample knitter by profession and I knit baby things all the time. I guess it hit him the wrong way because this item was for us instead of sitting in a store somewhere. I also told him I was going to kick him in the butt if he ever sleeps on the couch again! We have been married for 10 years and this was the first time he ever left our bed after an arguement.
ANyway took last BCP today and DH is having TESA on thursday. Wish us luck that he will have an easy time. He will be sedated (not asleep though) and the urologist is confident he will find sperm but I can just imagine DH is stressing over the fact the guy will be coming at his "boys" with a big needle!

JDC - I don't remember who it was, for some reason I am thinking it was someone on the Aug/Sept board (could be wrong) but they stimmed like 16 days. It might have been Valerie.
prayin4BFP - Glad you and DH are better. Good luck with the TESA. I can't sleep if DH isn't there so I probably would have been more pissed if he slept on the couch because I wouldn't have gotten any sleep. We have been together for 16 years and neither of us have ever slept on the couch. So you are done with BCP's, what's your next step?
Julie - Good luck tomorrow. Sending you tons of baby dust.
rosario - Glad to hear from you. Sorry don't have any input on AF. I have heard that the hormones do screw things up for a few months. Maybe the RE can give you the Proveria to start AF.
wishing_4_blessings - Welcome to the board. I can relate on not successfully retrieving the key to get on this board. I have 4 email address and tried 4 different times to get access to the board. I used up all my good login names. Finally on my 4th try, which I didn't think will work, I used to_have_fun08 ( I was thinking about vacation) and of course with that ridiculous login name it worked and I final got the key to finish my access. Go figure. Good luck in your 2ww. When is your beta?
bell-02 - Good luck on your FET on Thursday. This is your time to get your BFP.
Hope everyone else is doing good. I just got to work. Usually I am here around 6am but today didn't show up till 8am. Bed was just too comfy. The bad part is that now I have to stay till 4. I love getting off a 2.

jdc i was on stim for 15 days and ended up with 17 eggs. i was very worried about being on stim for so long, it cost me 4000.00, but my doc told me sometimes that is better because your eggs have more time to mature. i go in tomorrow for the rt, after 5day wait, havnt decided how many to put back out of 13 that fertilized.
