Hi again ladies... well I am home now. It is so cold outside. I have the day off tomorrow which is good cuz we r expecting still more snow. Well, tmorrow is my re appointment and I am so excited just as I was the first time around. Well, still no AF

I will have to let my RE know to see what he recommends or how long I should wait to let him know if I don't get AF still. Maybe so that they can bring it on. I want to start my BFPs and get the show on the road. I am getting so impatient already.

Rosario... yay!!! u got your meds... aren't they so beautiful. You know they hold the magic potion to getting your BFP, so treasure them.

u didnt get scared when u saw them did u?

ct_michelle... she is so beautiful. Thank you for sharing. Hope she will get a little bro or sis soon.

tkat and espinoza... GOOD LUCK TOMORROW ONCE AGAIN!!!!

Hope you get your BFP.

Lady_J No i didn't get scared but i did say "Holy crap only $125 for all this. I used to pay $1000 every 3 days for medication!" I did get excited for the PIO shots again please don't ask why though!

Rosario - You've got to love the needles. i am an addict.

i will love only paying a pitance for the drugs this time. i was talking to the lady with my health insurance she was saying that they had to find out what they paid for last time. I was like ahhh you guys didn't pay a penny last time because my insurance wasn't covering them. She then said well your in luck because this time they are covered. YIPPPEEEE This is why i changed to this insurance policy. It might cost me more every month but I get free drugs. YEAH!!!! So i am getting kind of excited now.

Lady_J - so sorry AF doesn't want to show up. I am sure she will show her ugly head right after you go to the RE tomorrow.

17 more days of BCP's.

LadyJ: Good luck at your dr. appt tomorrow. You never know, maybe you will wake up to find your friend has visited!! I hope so!

I should be coming off my period tomorrow : ) RE told my husband that we had to have sex on Saturday so he could be ready for his sperm test on Monday. He is loving the idea of scheduled booty!

Question: how many bcp's are you suppose to take? All of them or just until you get to certain point in your cycle?

espinozal23 · Post by **espinozal23** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 2:32 am

Good Evening Ladies

I just got online to read everybodies updates sry Lady J that she hasnt came to visit yet but maybe lets cross our fingers that you are already pegnant

I am getting really nervous and excited all at the same time about tomorrow last time after surgery they told me that i HAD 18 EGGS and this time they have already told me that they can see 13 and they say that there may be more hiding in there as soon as I can get home I will give everybody and update

And I want to thank you all for all the support that you have giving me through this process its nice to have people that are going through the same thing that you can talk to

And I wanted to say GOOD LUCK tomorrow tkat hope you have great numbers

As for how many we are planning on putting back the last time we put back three we have one A grade one B grade and a C grade out of the 18 eggs that they got only 3 were good enought to put back so I took all three and as for this time we are going to put back three if we have three that are of good quality and I have been taking prenatals for the last two months with the 800 mg of folic acid

Me and my sisiter-in-law were in wal mart getting some groceries last night and we walked over to the baby section mostly because its right besides the food section and I seen so many things that I just wanted to buy but knew I couldnt and they had the most beautiful baby crib with changing table that I loved and I told DH about it and he said ok as soon as we get the go ahead then I can start getting things dont want to jinks things

Good morning girls. Well, I took my last BCP last night and I am so excited... its hard to feel like you're making progress when you are actively taking something to keep from getting pregnant.

Now its just lupron until the 17th.

As you can see from my lovely chart below, I have gained back 2 lbs and I am NOT happy about it. I am sure its bc AF is on its way and bc of the shots but its still depressing. I'm the heaviest I have ever been

and it sucks. I keep beating myself up about not taking off more time between tries to get back into shape but at that point, I just wanted to get going again.

Some good news though is that my house is almost complete. We have our walkthrough on the 20th and hope to close around 2/9. Also, I leave for New York tomorrow. I can't wait to see snow! We got a little here in Houston a few weeks back but it wasn't much and definitely didn't stick to the ground.

Oh well, good luck with the ERs today! Can't wait to be back in that boat!

LOL, I even read it as BCP's and not BFP's the first time. Don't know how I missed it. Maybe we are both just waiting and anticipating the BFPs!! Good luck today at appointment!!!

to have fun
LOL, my RE is a guy. Good luck with your scheduled ER! I hope things go according to plan for you this cycle with an end result of a BFP!!

Rosario
Woohoo!!!! Gotta luv the meds!!! Good luck!! Baby dust your way.

tkat and espinozal23... I also want to say...GOOD LUCK with ER!!

LOL scheduled booty...I think all DH's like that part of TTC.

Well, as for me, I go back to RE at the end of next week to seek if my cyst has gone down or gone away. If it hasn't then I have to stay on Lurpon for one more week with an U/S after that and if the cyst still hasn't gone away, then they are cancelling this cycle. GRRRR. Can't this ever be easy!!!

However, if the cyst is gone, I get to start Follistim!!! Yippee!!! I pray I get to start Follistim. But my body is prone to cysts, even in my breasts (TMI, I know), so only God can work this one out for me. I've even had a few ovarian cysts rupture. Let me tell you, THAT HURTS!

Anyway, all I can do is wait til the end of next week for the U/S.

I have to get back to work, TTYAL!!

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 5:40 pm

It's Friday...yay!

I am excited to hear news from tkat and espinozal...so much activity to come on this thread!

Kcraven- haha, scheduled booty...yeah, dh's like that. As far as bcp's, I think my clinic told me what day to stop last time, but that was because they schedule all of their cycles for the same week each month, so i am not sure.

Jenn- I will pray for you that your cyst is gone and can start. I know, it is frustrating to just be waiting to start.

Waiting- Glad to hear your house is almost done. Try not to worry too much about the wieght, even though I am sure it is bothering you. We all know how much our weight and bodies are affected by this process, so its probably better not to stress too much about it.

Rosario- Impressive table of meds I must say! It is going to be so weird doing all of this again. I remember getting my first shipment, and was like, "what the heck is all of this?" and by the end i was a pro, even for a big needle wimp like me!

Lady j- I think we all have bfp's on the mind!

Dsy- did you trigger yet? Doing lots of bd'ing yet? Keep us updated and we will help all of you ladies get through the dreaded 2ww!

Nothing new for me, still waiting for af and consult on 22nd. My bro from upstate ny is coming this weekend, so that is always fun, i haven't seen him for xmas yet, and he doesn't get to see his niece very often. After this i probably won;t see him until his wedding in July, which I am in and will hopefully be 4-5 months pregnant for! I am making a tradition out of being in weddings and being preggers...at my other brothers wedding this past august, I was 8 and 1/2 months with ella and was the matron of honor! Ugh, fun but exhausting, and of course it is really difficult to find such a big bridesmaid dress especially next to ladies who are younger and a size 2 and not pregnant!. ok, time to go house clean and do some homework...have a good weekend ladies!

TKat · Post by **TKat** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 6:39 pm

Hello everyone!! The ER is done and guess what...I'm back at work! I'm crazy I know. I'm so drugged up right now though I can barely see straight. My DH dropped me off here so I can wrap some things up. It only hurts when I move. So they removed 14 eggs. I had more follicles than that so I guess some didn't contain eggs. I wonder what happened to all the smaller ones too...do they just leave them in there? I really think that only half are viable because yesterday morning i had some follicles that were 29mm....my RE said that when they get close to 30mm they are most likely over mature and won't produce good eggs. I'm excited though!! I really think it'll end up being a 3 day ET (again). I'm still hopeful for a 5 day ET though!! I was in a lot more pain after this ER than last time. I took Darvycet's so far and am about to take another. I guess the 2WW starts today, right?? Last cycle we didn't test at home at all and I had NO symptoms whatsoever. This time around we are going to test in a few days to see if the hcg is out of my system. We tortured ourselves last cycle. I start my antibiotic and steroid tonight and tomorrow the progesterone shots! Fun stuff! Thanks again for all of your support.

Lady_J - How did the RE appointment go??

Rosario - You are so funny! Nice picture of the meds!

Hope you all have a great afternoon!! I'm pumping in the Gatorade as we speak so the OHSS stays home (whatever that means).

TKat

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 6:52 pm

tkat- you crazy lady...back at work! No way would i have gone back to work that day, i remember being in a bunch of pain. 14 eggs is great, even if only half are viable, still good numbers. When will they report to you on viability and are you doing icsi? Yes, you are officially on the 2ww! I tortured myself last time taking hpt's, but i plan to do it again this time. I will stock up and do one probably starting a week after ER. baby dust to you and can't wait to hear more from you!

oh, and i think they take everything out, eggs or not, but i could be wrong.

espinozal23 · Post by **espinozal23** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 8:08 pm

hello ladies

sry i havnt posted sooner but this RE is much worse than the last but the good news is 20 eggs and on monday they had only seen 13 so we are doing ICSI and he said that 7 were fully mature and that 8 more should mature by the end of the day and like TKAt i am also back at wrk only i am doing mine from home so its not that bad I only have pain when i move or when i take a deep breath or try to cough dont remember feeeling this way last time but oh well its all worth it in the end

CT_Michele · Post by **CT_Michele** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 9:06 pm

Yay! More good news, and another crazy lady working! Geez, you go girls, but you really should be resting!

Espinozal- 20 eggs is great. We will hope for all to mature and hopefully get you lots of embies. Much baby dust to you and can't wait to hear more updates...now go get some rest!

Sisi1 · Post by **Sisi1** » Fri Jan 09, 2009 11:22 pm

Tkat and Espinozal23

Congratulations on you ER sounds like it was very successful for both of you. But you are being bad role models for the rest of us going to work like that, LOL!

I hope your employers know what dedicated staff they have!

I'm a bit bummed, hubby has been sick all week (no fever) so I am getting afraid it may affect hs sperm count....also I am getting pretty tired and cranky lately.....let's hope it's pms, AF is hereby welcome, although not due for a couple of more days...
