Hey Girls- Hope your having a good day. I actually feel a little less bloated today, and my GI stuff is completely gone. I read my Crinone pamphlet and some of the common side effects are bloating and abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. so I'm kinda thinking that's what the culprit may be. I hope as I get more used to it, it will get better. If not, I'm going to something else. I figure I still have a lot of swelling and bloating from the ER, and with time it will get better. I have no problems passing urine or breathing, so I don't think it's OHSS thank God after reading what
Sara went through. All I can say is bless your heart. At least you got a little miracle for all that you went through.
Babymex- Please let us know your beta tomorrow, or if you have other news. I know it can be hard to share things like this, but we are here for you either way it goes. I'll keep my fingers crossed
Lee: the funny thing is, if the doctor said "You must go home and lay on the floor with your legs propped up on your wall for at least the first 4 hours" we would all be laying there with our legs up in the air. And not in a way our dh's ever fantasized-HaHa
Sisi- this is my first cycle, so can't say I've heard of that. It sounds strange to me though. What did your RE say? He had to have an idea of what was going on. Let us know if you find anything out. Hang in there though, you still have plenty of time to make those follies grow. Remember to do your visualizing.
Michelle- Best of luck to you. Take advantage of the time to kick your feet up for a few days. Hope your recovery is quick, and painless. Remember what I said about pain meds constipating you and take the proper precautions. BTW-Thanks for answering my question about the bloating. It's nice that we can all help each other out.
Kim- Sorry to hear about your IV fiasco
Aren't they just so much fun- NOT! I think it's great that you got 6 embies
I send whatever dust you need for them to fertilize? Not sure which will work, but maybe they don't really care and like any kind of dust
Take care of yourself and give yourself time to heal.
Lee- Excited for you about wonderful ET. What is your clinics grading scale? 10 does sound great though. Best of luck and welcome to the 2ww club with me
Cynthia- Great news about your visit with RE. Your lucky, I had full on, day 1 heavy flow when I had my u/s
I am a little confused how they saw all those follicles if you haven't started stimming yet? Or are you stimming, maybe I'm confused? I am new at this. Either way, best of luck to you
Sari-So glad your starting soon. It is exciting. I lucked out and didn't have to wait very long for my doctor to let me start.
If you enjoy the visualizing and meditation, you may enjoy a cd you can buy at
http://www.anjionline.com/. I read good things about it, and she has some free mp3's that you can download. I haven't used her cd, but on other forums I saw when I was surfing, it was highly recommended. The cd is $30 though, which I thought was a bit pricey, but she has specific ones for IVF and even the different stages of it. Keep up the visualizing for your baby
Lionoe- Did you have your ER today? Hope you did and that it was a super duper success. Let us know how it went for you and take care of yourself.
Well I'm going to run, have been at this for way to long-lol. I have been procrastinating on other stuff I have to do, and this is way more fun.
Talk to you all again soon, Melanie
, when are you having the next u/s done?
