Kat... my first positive HPT was on 10 days past the egg retrieval (RETRIEVAL, not transfer)... prior to that they were negatives, so I was hopeful that it wasn't the trigger shot... but remember, I'm pregnant with twins, so my HCG counts have been on the high side... also, don't test early with a digital HPT... they detect higher levels of HCG and in early pregnancy will give show a negative result while a strip HPT will simultaneously show a positive result... it happened to me, and I was pregnant... lots of sticky vibes and baby dust to you!... keep us updated.IVF over 40 Buddy Group........Membership Drive

Hello, everyone!
I am going to make this quick because I keep starting posts and then getting interrupted and by the time I get back to finishing everything I was going to say had already been said .....
So I very quickly just want to say:
Renee: I am thinking of you and am so inspired by your strength!!! Your handsome little man,Rocco, and husband are so lucky to have you be the woman in their life!!!!!!
Kelly: you are correct. I am planning on priming in March and stimming in April. Although, I am struggling a bit as to whether I want to put my body and the last of our "savings" (unfortunately I do not have ANY insurance) through another round...If I do go the IVF route it will definitely be our last. Oh, and by the way I recently turned 43. I LOVE that I can say that on this board and not feel out of place.
Tammy: I know exactly how you feel...I am so anxious to see if you have luck with the Femara!!!! Maybe that is the way to go????
Kat and Santa: Congrats on PUPO!!!!! Kat, I love your suggestion about calling in 2WOH...It is exactly that....
Lynnie:Thinking about you!!!!!
And hello to everyone else!!!!

Okay, lets try this again.
Welcome Jeannie T. Glad you joined us. When are you cycling? I saw on the main board that you will be doing DE in Czech Republic. I don't think you stim at all for donor egg cycles. If you still ovulate they will have to suppress you. If you don't ovulate they give you vaginal estrogen to build up you lining pryor to transfer. Then after transfer you keep doing that plus add progesterone.
bdantonio, what is new with you?
NY, what do you have cooking?
Sisi, i found it. PMA PMA PMA PMA PMA !!!!!!!! I can't remember are you doing estrogen priming?
Renee, again i am sorry. HUGS I can't believe i dropped you off the list. Sorry, i was out of time and didn't have time to finish up and review.
Lynnie, how are you holding up?
Santa, any more POAS results? FX for you!!!!
Babygurlsolages, are you still on for 3/4? Also, how many children do you have and what ivf # is if for this child?
Biddy, are you still on for March 6 ER? Good luck.
Sue, CONGRATS!!!! You are officially PG. Any news on beta # 2?
Kat, you are right. 2WOH would be much more appropriate. You are on day ten post ER right? I would start testing no sooner than day 12. Some people get an earlier positive. But most don't. It will just make you nuts if it is negative.
NY, any news on when you are cycling?
Kris, have you peaked yet? Is this ivf #2 for this baby? Okay number 3 for this baby. Got it.
njsurga, AF can be such a hag.
Hil, it is almost time for you too. There will be four of us going back to back over the next few weeks. We are going to be a very active little group again soon. I think 3/4 of us are doing estrogen priming with/without antagon.
Natashamom, any news?
I was just wondering if anybody else has children. I know about Renee, Tammy, myself, Kt, Babygurlsolages, Kris, Missy a;ready. Anybody else?
AFM, I finally got my CGH results. The kicker is they had them 3 1/2 weeks ago but nobody notified me. OOPS. Drum roll please.........i had 1 out of 2 blasts that were good enough to freeze come back NORMAL for all chromosomes. I also found out they did test send the biopsies for the other 3 blasts that were not good looking enough to freeze. As you would expect, they were all abnormal. So 1/5 normal embroys. That is fantastic for an old hag. If i can squeeze out 1 more normal between the next to banking cycles i will be golden.
Waving hello to the rest of you. Let me know where is messed up please.

Hil, did you know they also do estrogen priming IUI with our without antagon too. You might give that a shot. You could get multiple cycles for the same money with that. Just a thought.
Sharon, it is about time the hag showed up. I will change it on the previous list. But i have got to run. I will do that and anything else that rolls in today later on.
Missy, i added your first US.
Man, every time i post somebody else is too. I can't catch up. I will check in later ladies.

Kelly, CONGRATS on the beautiful PERFECT embryo!!!!!!! And 1 out of 5 is AMAZING!!!!!! I was counting up the eggs retrieved from my previous 2 cycles and realized that I had only 7 embryos TOTAL and obviously none of them were healthy...I am hoping to be a 1/10 gal.
Njurga, we are all onboard and hoping you get a big fat positive!!!!
Njurga, we are all onboard and hoping you get a big fat positive!!!!
CONGRATS, Kelly... that's great news!... I'm so happy for you, and it must be comforting to know that information about the embryo... I'm sitting here thinking "should I have considered genetic testing subsequent to the retrieval?"... it crossed my mind, but my RE didn't discuss anything with me and while I knew it existed, I sort of blew it off (which isn't my personality at all)... I think you made a smart choice.Suzanne, age 41

Kelly: I missed your good news earlier. Congrats on your perfect embie. Yes, that is great 1/5!! If you can get one good one each cycle, you will have three good embies. Will you just transfer one at a time? At this rate, you could even go for a third child
Hil: I will let you know regarding the Femara. I will start taking it mid month, as soon as I get AF. I start on cycle day 3. I am going to ask for an ultrasound and hcg trigger shot too, if there are multiple follies. If my day 3 FSH and antral follicle count are still good, maybe it can work.
I'm guessing if the Femara produces multiple follicles and multiple eggs, it should hopefully help in getting a "good egg" sooner.

Yippee SKippee KELLY Belly!
You know, when I was preg with my other children, and I POAS I only showed a positive once (DD--3rd child). if fact when it DID show a positive, I didnt believe it and I had go out and buy 2 more. The other three were confirmed by blood.
I am really trying to be positive here and stay busy. AND it really isnt working very well. It is all I think about. Suz18, it makes sence that you would show a pos with twins..that is a lot of hcg flying around ....
Hugs to all you ladies.

Worried....I've had some spotting the last couple of days and today I had some very mild cramping. I just went to pee and I had some bright red blood drip out...not a lot but definetly a bit more than spotting! I just left a message at the clinic to see if I can come down to have another BETA test down so hopefully they will call as early as possible!
Anyone have any similiar experience that was positive???

Thanks everybody. 
Missy, i will change that tomorrow. As for the bleeding, it is very common in early pregnancy. Your RE should get you in tomorrow for an early scan to evaluate it. If they won't do it, then call your ob/gyn and see if they will work you in. Surely one of them will work you in tomorrow. Try not to panic and i will pray for you and your little one.
Santa, i hope you are okay. What is going on with you?
