Congrats to all the BFP's!!!

Lady_J
When I had my u/s it showed that I was measuring 2 days late. I figure that is bc the implatation took place 2 days after the transfer. I think the bad dreams are a side effect of pregnancy not the meds! I started having them as soon as I got pg and still am. Weird....I think as long as you wait 10 days after ET you should be all clear to take HPT.

Good luck to all of you stimming and waiting. Hope you get your BFP!!

Good Morning ladies... I am soooo down. I caved in and took and HPT this morning... whyyyyyyyy???????????? Anyway, it was a BFN as suspected. I think I am out this cycle again. I am so upset now. I couldn't sleep last night cuz I was thinking about everything, and crying and thinking if this doesnt work and I cant give my DH any more kids, should I just seperate from him and let him frind himself a woman that can give him all the kids he deserves. He came home this morning and I was still an emotional wreck.... I couldnt control it. Well I did take an HPT this morning without him knowing and BFN

I kind of expected it... cuz honestly, I dont feel anything, and now I feel a little crampy as if AF is going to show her face. ANyway, now I hole what I know inside and just face the official results on Thursday. I guess, afterwards, I plan on getting this wisdom tooth taken out and taking a break for awhile, at least for the summer.

Tburks... Congrats on the US, so did u get to see your little bean growing? How exciting. Well, today is 7dpt so I kind of assume the results would be accurate. I really hope in my heart I tested too early, but in my gut I feel it's right. And it is funny cuz I last night before I did the HPT, I had a dream that felt sooo real, that I got up from bed and went to take the HPT and 2 lines popped up, and I took another one to make sure and again another 2 lines, next thing u know I was being chased by the cops cause I had a gun in my car...

weird.

dys... Congrats on starting Lupron tomorrow, u r so much closer to stimming and then getting your BFP. It is a crazy ride but before u know it, u will be ging crazy like us... Good Luck hun. Even though u r posting somewhere else, keep us posted. Good Luck.

CA... Well, u were better than me about POAS. Now Im crushed. But you have your Beta Tomorrow so u might as well just wait now. Good Luck tomorrow hun... hope u get your BFP!!!

Anxious / Nursegator... So??????? ANy update on your Beta results? Good Luck ladies.

Lady_J I'm so sorry about your - HPT, but don't feel discouraged yet. I've seen plenty of ladies having a late implanter and getting + 1-2 before their beta or a - and having low hcg to detect on hpt. You still have 3 days!!! I wish you all the best and hope that you still will get your BFP much hugsss to you!!!!!!!! please please please dont give up

I plan to post on both threads so you will still see me around

I have a questions for those who did bcp and lupron, I'm about to start tomorrow 20 units a day and am not sure if I should inject lupron same hour as I take the bcp or one in the morning and the other in the evening or if it doesnt matter? any info would be appreciated.

Lady_J · Post by **Lady_J** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 3:50 pm

dys... tahnks for your encouragement. I hope ur right. As for the BCP and Lupron. I dont think it matters, although my RE told me to start the BCPs in the evening and since I had to start Lupron in the evenings as well, I just did them at the same time. U may want to check with your RE to see if there is a specific time they would prefer u to take it. Good Luck hun.

Lady_J - Sorry for your BFN on the HPT. You still have a shot. The fat lady isnt singing yet. You still have a few more days till your BETA. You wouldnt be the first person that has gotten a BFN on HPT and the got a positive BETA.

CONGRATS to all the BFPs. Wishing you all a H&H 9 M.

Sorry, have been away from the boards so I need to catch up with everyone to do personals.

I feed my follies some beer this weekend and now they decided that wanted to grow. I had 6 measurable follies at my u/s this morning. YEAH!!!

Has anyone ever had a cyst when they started stims and then had a problems growing follies in that ovary. I had a 13mm cyst in my left ovary when I started my last cycle. With my last cycle I didn't get any follies in my left ovary. Then when I started this cycle, I still had the 13mm cyst. At least I think it was the same. Anyway, the cyst just disappeared this weekend and now I have follies that are growing. I guess I am over analyzing things. I am just curious as to why it has taken so long for my body to respond to meds this time. Last cycle I blamed it on my lowered meds. This time I am on the most meds and it has taken me this long to respong. I guess I should just stop thinking.

Ladyj don't accept at just give her to me I have been waiting on her for 4 days now so I can start stims you think positive and just pass her this wayx

kate65 · Post by **kate65** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:47 pm

Lady_J, this is exactly why the tell you not to take an HPT! It really doesn't count until the beta, so try to do something relaxing and take your mind off it.

Chris, congrats on all the follies. Beer ... who knew?

Molly, congrats on twins!!!!!! Now I'm really jealous. How'd you get the good part of twins without suffering through the viscious nausea times two!?

Tabatha... I already told here that I wont be home and that she should go see u first.

lol... seriously.!!!

Chris... I hope so, but my PMA has gone completely down the drain today. I'm gutted. As for you, at least there is some great news today. So your follies are growing now.... yipee. SO how long have u been on stims now? Does it look like a go at this point? I am glad that big cyst found its way out so your follies can grow. This may be your time girl. I wish u so much luck.

ANxious and Nursegator....

Any news yet ladies?

Thanks everyone for all the support, first off! I just got back from having blood drawn for my second test. Sounds like I won't get the results until tomorrow, although the woman there was super nice and said that if I called back later she could at least tell me if things "looked good" although she can't give me results over the phone.

I have been having a hell of a time with sleep - not getting any - and still crampy. And cranky, my husband would probably add!!

nursegator - Congrats on your positive HPT!

Lady_J - Don't give up yet. I only took my first HPT 8dpt and believe me, the positive was very, very, VERY faint and transient. It was only there for about 20 minutes and then faded away again. So much so that if I hadn't woken my husband up at 2 am 9dpt (when I took the second one!) so that he could see it too, I wouldn't have believed it. When I woke up again at 6:30 for work the second line was gone again. And I have felt crampy off and on since since 4dpt.

Wondercat · Post by **Wondercat** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 4:58 pm

Forgot one!

To_have_fun08 - I had a 22mm cyst when I started my last cycle. As far as I know, it's still there. I know I'm prone to them; November 2007 I had one violently and painfully burst which was very much not fun.

But it doesn't seem to have effected my cycle at all. The got 19 eggs, and all 19 were mature. It did seem to take a longer this time around than before, but I think slow and steady is better for this as there is less risk of overstimulating.

Hello All,

I had my 3rd BETA today and my levels have gone up to 2754 (1st BETA 337; 2nd BETA 753) so needless to say I am excited to see the number rising. Now comes another 2WW until the U/S. I will not have any more appts between now and then so it will be a long 2 week wait.

Lady_J: I am sorry to hear about the negative HPT but like everyone who has commented already has said the HPT is not the 100% confirmation you will receive when you have your BETA. If your levels are low the HPT may not be able to detect it since some of them cannot detect HCG levels below 125 and lower. Please try to stay positive. We are all pulling for you and hope that your BETA gives you the result you deserve.

To_have_fun08: I am so happy to hear that your follies have decided to kick it in gear. That is great news!!!!! I hope the rest of the cycle goes smooth for you.

Tabatha: I really hope your "friend" comes to visit you soon. It is interesting how when you REALLY want her to show her face she doesn't.

BETAs today: I really hope to hear good news from all. We are anxiously waiting to hear from you.

Molly: I hope everything is progressing well for you. Have you started to have any symptons? It is still early for me (5w3d) but I haven't had any yet.

Lady_J - My huge follie is still on my right side. It measured 44mm today. I so hope that I make it to ER just so they can aspirate that thing during ER. I know it will be painful if I had to ovulate that big thing. I also had a 13mm that I started out with on my left side, that has now disappeared.

Lady J please do not give up hope. Evil little sticks, it could be wrong! Everyone here is right- there is still hope!

to have fun, glad to hear those follies are growing. Here's hoping they do their thing!

tabatha, she will come, try to stay positive that she will show up soon!

I'm anxious to hear test results today, and also, it encourages me to hear those numbers rising for those who have already had their BFP.

Transfer was on Saturday. I'm a little frustrated at the moment. Everything has been great in terms of communication up until now. Our embies were doing great on the 3rd day so we went for a 5 day transfer. when we got there, my RE said that the embryologist reported two had made it to blast, with 8 looking like they were on the brink of blast. The two that made it to blast were graded low, which was crushing to hear, so my RE suggested instead of transferring two like we had planned all along, to transfer the two blasts and one more that would hopefully keep growing.

I know she would not have suggested that unless the quality was not good, so I was upset, but we went ahead and transferred three. Now I'm trying to get an answer as to what made it, if anything to freeze, but all I have been able to do is leave a message.

Anxious · Post by **Anxious** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 6:48 pm

I got my results and it is BFN!! I kind of expected it because I started spotting on Saturday. I wanted so badly to believe that the spotting was okay but I knew deep down inside that it was a no-go. So, we have to go a complete cycle and then are meeting with RE in April to discuss the future. Good luck to everyone, you have been so supportive and a great resource. I need to take a break from the boards and focus on DH and me. I really feel like this process has taken a lot from me and I am going to relax for the next month.

Wondercat · Post by **Wondercat** » Mon Mar 09, 2009 7:01 pm

aspotofTea - It's so frustrating about doctors that right when you need it the most there is zero communication. And at my office unless you specifically push the receptionist, the only thing you could EVER do when you call is leave a message. I don't know if any of mine made it to freeze either. I live pretty far away from my doctor in Boston, so I set things up to get tested closer to home to avoid driving into the city just to get blood drawn. Between the two hospitals you would have thought I was trying to coordinate the overthrow of an entire government. The wrong place got the fax... we'll send it to the right place... we got the fax, but there's no phone or fax number on it or the code so we can bill it to insurance properly... the IVF doctor hasn't received it yet... oh, the office is closed? sorry, we'll transfer you to the lab... what's the fax number again? looks like she wrote down something completely different than what you said... etc.!

My personal favorite was the girl who took my blood Saturday. She looked at the requisition that clearly stated "Testing for IVF cycle" looked me straight in the eye and asked me, "Do you have any reason to believe that you're pregnant?" Me (baffled) "Well, yes..." She asked me a few questions to confirm my id, then, "So, have you been trying to conceive?" Me (desperately overcoming urge to reply with my first sarcastic impulse) "Yes. Yes, you could say that." I mean, come on. How many of you ladies have managed to go through IVF by accident???
