[Lady_J]

Jenn.. also, YW. I didn't see that part. I try my best to keep it updated and make it look pretty. It's exciting when the waiting to start list gets shorter and the stimming list gets longer.

BETA RESULTS!!!!!

[espinozal23]

To answer your question Lady J my BETA is on the 23rd of JAN the day after my anniversary

And I do have a question for anyone that has been through IVF before and has had a BFP how long does it usually take for a HPT to start showing positive

I have been so tired today and have felt the craziest little things in my lower stomach or maybe its just me feeling everything

THIS TWO WEEKS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY even going to go into work tomorrow to try and keep my mind off of it

shelley- I totally sympathize. my sister-in-law is almost 5 months along now, and everytime I see her, she's bitching and complaining about "omg, I'm getting so huge! nothing fits! I eat like a pig!", and she is normally a size TWO. I'm not joking. I'm very afraid I'm going to sucker punch her at the next family dinner.

My very first box of meds arrives tomorrow. I'm scared to open it. The pharmacy called yesterday to go over the list with me, and my head was spinning when she was done.

So, needless to say, reading all of your posts really helps me keep it all in perspective.

Lady J, thank you for taking the time to do the list with all the pretty graphics. It's so neat to be able to see where the ladies are at.

Have a good weekend everyone!

espinozal- I posted an answer to your hpt question before, but so many people posted, you probably missed my response...here it is again:

Espinozal- I was hpt crazy my first time around, and i knew that I would be doing it too early and that I would see negatives and I told myself i could handle it, so I wanted to do the hpts. My ER was on dec 11, et on dec 14 and i think I started taking hpts on dec 18 or 19th. Negative, and they stayed negative everyday. On christmas eve morning, 12/24 I was confident I would see a positive since my beta should have been 12/25, but they were closed for christmas and i would have to go the day after. So I thought for sure I would see good news. Of course it was negative. I broke down, couldn;t handle the "happy holiday" when I was so sad. I wanted so bad to tell my family it had worked for xmas. So dh then read online that sometimes first morning pee is not the best, so we tried again around noon, and I couldn;t believe it, a faint line! I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

So to answer your question...I did not see even the faintest of all faintest lines until 13 and a half days after retrieval. I must have been a late implanter. My beta on 15 days past ER was only a 46, so no wonder I was getting all of those negative hpts. Don;t lose hope, don;t take all the hpts to heart and remember you can;t be sure until you get beta. Even after my last hpt experience, I plan to torture myself again.

Lady J- thanks for doing the list, I am still waiting for consult on the 22nd, but I am also taking bcp's already, so you can add me to that list if you like.

Congrats to all the ladies starting stimes...so exciting...I have a feeling this is going to be a successful thread!

Tkat- we will find out about the sperm situation on monday, at least whether they found anything to freeze, RE will probably make the TESE recommendation, or not, on thursday. We are hoping, but I am not very optimistic since he needed TESE last time.

Ok, gotta run...I will try and catch up with everyone else later...

[Rosario]

TKat Last cycle i was on the following Follistim 600ui qd x 14 days with Ganirelix starting day 6-7 (after i started follistim) until day of trigger which i used Ovidrel. This time i will be on Gonal-F 300ui bid w/ or w/out Repronex, Cetrotide and Novarel for triggering. I am on the antagonist protocol once again.

[kcraven]

Hey ladies!!! Well I received news today that my dh sperm test came back good. Yeah!! So now I go Monday for my baseline. I guess then I will find out what kind of medicine they are going to start me on.

espinozal23: Try to stay patient. Thats easy to say, right? I know when I get to your stage I'm going to be dieing to know too. I wish you all the best!! BFP is coming your way shortly!!

Rosairo: Glad to hear you cycle is going smoothly. From the sounds of it we may be starting stims together. I wish you all the best!!!!

Sis1: Glad you AF came to pay you a visit!!!

Well ladies, hey to cut you short by my husband just started a movie for us to watch. I'll finish personals later. I hope everyone has a good weekend!

[prayin4BFP]

ITS HERE....ITS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I have never been so happy to see AF before in my life! So I start baby aspirin tonight and tomorrow its baseline sono and BW then if everything is ok I will start stims tomorrow night...I cant believe its finally here...what a relief!

[espinozal23]

Hello Ladies

Hope that everyone is doing good i have been doing good so far just some mild cramping last night in the lower part of my stomach hope that is all part of it I didnt have any cramping last time and my AF came like four days before my BETA so I am trying to take it easy and relax but it is just so darn hard I just want to be able to see a positive on that crazy stick and I would feel some much better and every little thing I think to my self oh thats them implanting i just hope that I dont loose my mind before this 2ww is up

And oh yeah my BFF had a dream last night dont know if this means anything or not but when I talked to her this morning she said I was just getting ready to send you a text message I had a dream last night that you were having a boy Think it means anything

[Sisi1]

YAY again!!!

I get to start stimming tonight as well!

I feel like I just got a promotion, LOL.

Prayin4BFP sounds like our schedule will be in sink

[waiting for 4]

well i started my stims tonight! they stung a little because they were still cold but WHO CARES- I am stimming finally!

[Sisi1]

PMA PMA PMA

I was just thinking how many needles will it take to have this baby?
1 day of lupronx24 needles
10x gonal f=10 more
1x ovidril
at least 8 bloodtests
Acupuncture 1-2 a week for 6 weeks, 10 needles a time=80
So I figure about 125 needles or there about

Superpositive fertility vibes to you all!

Well Ladies

I hope that everyone is doing good I am still trying to keep it together during this 2ww

Last night I thought that I was going to go crazy it was like I couldnt get full all i wanted to do was eat and then twice in the middle of the night I woke up burning up my hair was soaking yet and I even have our bedroom window cracked a little bit and still was burning up been having a little lower back pain but not much and seems like I am just so tired oh well maybe I will just give up and go back to bed for the rest of the day and just sleep DH is off all day so he can watch my daughter and they will be alright together

Hope you ladies are having a wonderful day and lots of sticky vibes and baby dust to all of you

[Molly23]

Congrats to all that got AF. I am still waiting, and it is bugging me. I really am hoping I get it today, but we shall see.

Rosario, what is the antagonist protocol. My meds sounds similar to your's and I am wondering if I am on that protocol. I start off with Gonal f, and then on the 7th or 8th day I start Ganirelix. Then of course to trigger I will take the ovirdrel. On my sheet though it say Ganirelix/ Gonal F Protocol.

Happy injections everyone I really hope I get to join in on the fun today.

I see some of you do Acupuncture, and I was wondering how that helps.

[CT_Michele]

Espinozal- Hang in there, your almost there, the dream that you bff had seems like good news to me. Dreams are always a good sign.

Molly- Hope af comes today for you

Sis- Congrats on starting stims. I know, isn;t it crazy how many times we willingly prick ourselves for this process?

Waiting- congrats on starting stims too. Looks like the few weeks will be exciting around here.

Prayin- so happy to hear af came for you. Its crazy that in this ivf world, it is the only place we are happy to see af.

Kcraven- I am glad your dh's spermies were good. Sounds like you are well on your way now.

I got my protocol in the mail yesterday. I am pretty sure it is the same as last time. Stop bcp's on 2/16, start 375 units of follistim and 1 vial of menopur on 2/20. Then will start ganirelix on day 5-7 days after I start stims, ovidrel will be the trigger. ER/ET the week of 3/2. So now I just wait, but we have sperm analysis and consult this week, and I will have a bunch of pretests coming up, so I think the time will go by fast.

If I missed anyone, I hope you are all doing well...keep the pma's ladies, I have a good feeling we will see a lot of bfp's!
