Hello All,
Happy Spring to everyone. I am on my 4th day of my 2WW and I am beginning to get paranoid about every bit of activity that I do. My Beta is on 3/27 and that day can't get here fast enough. Been trying to keep busy with work, but that just isn't enough..faithseverything, Sara30, and kimbob how is the wait going for you? Any suggestions on how to keep my mind and self busy?!
March/April cycle buddies??
Only 5 of my eggs were fertilized, now I am scared they will all stop developing before Wednesday.....
I have no information about quality at this point, hopefully tomorrow.
Boy, every step of this long journey is a fight!

Lionoe, I am on the second day of the 2ww and it is a trying time for sure. This is our third time and you'd think I'd be a pro by now, but the 2ww is still the hardest part for me! I understand about being paranoid and I analyze every little pain I have 
. The best thing I have done so far is watch movies or go to the mall. I am constatnly reading on this site and others like it whenI am not occupied!
Was your transfer frozen or fresh cycle? How many?
Sisi1, I am sorry to hear only 5 eggs fertilized, but at least you have those five and hang in there! It only takes one!
Best of luck to everyone

I guess it's a little slow around here on weekends...so you all must be out doing lots of fun things.
hope&faith- these boards certainly do keep us occupied during the dreaded 2ww. I agree it is probably best to try and get out.
sisi- 5 fertilized is great. I only had 4 on my 3dt, but still ended up with a beautiful baby, so I am praying for you...are you 3 day or 5? 3 day would be tomorrow and 5 day would be wednesday??
lionoe- Like hope said, try and get out, visit some friends, I did some scrapbooking during 2ww, shopping, pampering (spa and hair), anything to occupy your mind. And of course, try to relax, as hard as that may seem.
sari- I, like you, can also not gain much weight. In the beginnning of ivf, I did bloat, gaining a few pounds, but after I got my bfp, I lost weight until close to five or 6 months pregnant. Because I was heavier, I just didn't show much, and all of my weight gain was from fluid retention at the end...so maybe if you body is like mine, you will be the same. Happy stimming to you!
hope2be- We too are dealing with male infertility, and the most important advice I can give is that you are in it together. I stressed to my husband that this is not his problem, it is ours, as a couple, because i want to have his child. He might think things like, why don't I just go have a baby with someone else since I don;t have a problem, but I explain I want to have HIS baby, or a baby together, and marriage means we are together through thick and thin. In any relationship, one side will have to make sacrifices for another, and if I have to give myself a few shots to have his child, it is well worth it. As soon as I made him realize that and acted like going through this was no big deal at all...everything was fine, and here we are doing it again. Just always remember to love each other no matter what.
dys- so glad af came. I am not sure if mine came or not...i know...that sounds weird. I shall explain...
I started spotting on friday night, but it wasn't normal bright red period, so I thought maybe leftover spotting from the polyp removal, even though I am due for af??? It got heavier, but not much brighter, still dark in color, and also not anywhere near as heavy as normal, but then I think maybe that is because of the removal. Polyps are supposed to cause you to have very heavy periods, so maybe I have always had a polyp and now this is what af is like? I just can't imagine they didn't find the polyp first ivf. Then I think maybe the polyp removal itself is causing my period to be light. Has anyone had the surgery and then had a really light af? I forgot to call clinic saturday morning before they closed, so now I have to wait until tomorrow and may have missed when they would want to see me for u/s (day 2/3 of af). Hopefully it is ok and they will just tell me to start bcp's. I don't know if I can get to the clinic monday b/c I have no babysitter with mil out of commision, so by tuesday af will be long gone I am sure.
Speaking of mil, I wanted to give an update since everyone here was so supportive. She is still in the psychiatric hospital, but is doing 110% better! We expect her to come home in the middle of this week. She looks better, feels better, and they are working out meds for her. She seems very deidcated to getting out and doing the right thing. She is looking forward to AA meetings, and the very intensive outpatient program(4 hours per night, minimum of 4 days a week...yikes!) She is also talking about going back to church and trying to get social security so she can work less, maybe get a place of her own and take care of herself better. I can not believe the difference, and we are so thankful she got the transfer to the psychiatric hospital...it is exactly what she needed and what we had hoped for her when we brought her to the ER before we got sidetracked with medical problems. So thank you all for your prayers...they worked

CTMichele, glad MIL is doing much better since being in the hospital. Im not sure about polyp removal but we are glad its out of there so you can move forward to a successful IVF!
Hopeandfaith, I cant imagine how long the 2ww must be. Keep occupied if possible. Do you work outside the home? If so, plan projects during those weeks.
Sis1, praying that the eggies continue to grow!
Hope, just like Paula, we have MFI too and are going to do ICSI. Its a big thing for the Dhs because they relate it to their manhood.
DYS, woo hoo on getting your AF!!
Aims, congrats on being PUPO!

As for me, I am stimming now. Starting yesterday with Menopur, Gonal F and Lupron. Feel ok minus the headaches but that is probably the Lupron. I will say since I have been taking Lupron my appetite is nil and I seem to have alot of energy. Shots have not been bad but 10 days of shots may get old quick.
Michelle congratulations with your MIL, that is very good news that everything will be settled by the time you are ready!
I am doing a day 5 transfer, Wednesday, the good news of the day is that all my 5 embryos are continuing to develop, can't ask for anything more!
Boy it's a long time till Wednesday......

just after coming home from church! it's a great day, we celebrated mother's day! we sung a song, and distributed bunches of tulips to every mum who came in, and sent some for those who are unable to come in. dh gave me yellow tulips.. such a wonderful feeling! for all of you ladies out there... HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.. it may not be physical but i know all of us are mothers by heart and in nature. you are all amazing and wonderful esp for going through this processes of ivf. just to let you know you are all divine and never loose hope and always keep trusting the Lord in all that we do.. he had a purpose for all of us.. whatever the outcome may be. my heart goes out for all of you!

Hello everyone, just checking in at the end of the weekend to say hello and do a few personals. DH and I have had a great weekend - friends visited overnight on Friday night with their two children (such fun having a 3 and a 4 year old running round the house with the dogs!), some other friends came over yesterday to sit in the late afternoon sunshine in the garden (our first time venturing out in the garden this year!) and have a drink, then DH and I played in a golf competition today (we didn't disgrace ourselves but didn't win either) and now we're just going to have a lazy evening at home. So all in all, a lovely weekend. Shame it is back to work for DH tomorrow! So to personals...
Sari - have you had another u/s since Thursday? And if so, did they find the right ovary in there somewhere? Grow, follies!
Latino - Happy stimming!
aims - you're PUPO!!! Hope you have had a good rest over the weekend.
hope&faith - hello and welcome. Another lady in the 2ww - wishing you the very best of luck. Like you, we have male factor issues. My DH has been pretty good about adjusting his lifestyle to try and improve motility etc, particularly in the run up to IVF as we have both totally given up alcohol (which for us is a pretty big thing!). He has also been going to acupuncture because we read up on Chinese medicine and some case studies where acupuncture has radically improved sperm quality - plus I think he feels that by doing it, he is contributing to the process rather than it just being me who's dosing up on horrible drugs and having invasive stuff done.
Nicole - another 2ww! We have so many already in 2ww or going to be PUPO imminently! How is it going? I totally understand that you are stressing out about what to do, but I think as long as you aren't lifting heavy stuff, doing anything aerobic or getting drunk/stoned, then you are fine!!! Just think of how many women manage to get pregnant 'naturally' while drinking, smoking, lifting weights in the gym, training for marathons etc - as long as you don't do anything too extreme, then you are giving yourself the best possible chance. As for how to keep busy, I'm planning to watch movies, read books and maybe buy a jigsaw or two to do. Plus come on here and chat to everyone, of course!
Michele - your AF situation is really confusing, isn't it. In your situation, I would have thought the same as you, ie if the blood is dark/brown in colour rather than bright red, then I would have thought it probably isn't actually AF and is probably a delayed reaction from the polyp removal. Let us know what they say at the clinic when you call tomorrow. And what great news about MIL, you and DH must both be so relieved.
Melanie - I can't believe what a good place your head seems to be in and how positive you are. I tend to agree with your feeling that it doesn't happen in the first month of trying for people trying 'naturally' and that it therefore isn't conclusive if it doesn't happen first IVF cycle either (although obviously some people are lucky) - the fact that it didn't work for your first attempt does not mean that it won't next time. I guess tomorrow is the day you find out your likely timing for the FET cycle? Do let us know...
Latie - so ET is either tomorrow or Wednesday? Let us know how you get on - I will be thinking of you.
Cynthia - how did your u/s go this morning? Trigger in the next few days, hey, so exciting!
Sisi - So happy to read that all five of your embies are developing nicely! Roll on Wednesday and then you will join the others in the PUPO club...
Carolyn - sorry to hear about the threat of redundancies, hope you are not getting too stressed about it all. Did AF arrive for you in time yesterday??
Tabatha - good luck for your u/s tomorrow and fingers crossed for your trigger! If the measuring of your uterus lining is anything like mine was for my IUI cycles, then 12.9mm is really good - I was told by my hospital that anything above 11/12mm is ideal and ready to receive the embryo implanting. I suspect the three lines your RE showed you were the front wall of your uterus, the back wall of your uterus and the 'gap' in the middle where the embryos are going to be placed - I have had it described to me as being 'burger shaped' so that viewed from the bottom (ie using an internal u/s probe) the uterus looks like a burger bun with a tiny thin hamburger in the middle! Does that make any sense??
Babyluv - happy stimming! Grow little follies...
Kline - no, I didn't get too much pain on my withdrawal bleed (although the actual bleed still hasn't stopped yet - it's only very light now but it has gone on about 4 days longer than my period usually would). I'm sorry to read of your headaches, I wonder whether they were caused by the Suprecur as I've had headaches as well on the Syranel.
Kim - How are you doing in the 2ww, have you managed to resist the HPT? I guess you must have your beta test sometime later this week? Thanks for the 'side-effects-be-gone' dance! Could you help me out with a little 'hurry-up-2nd-April-and arrive-so-I-can-get-onto-the-stims-stage' dance???
Dys - good luck to you as well for tomorrow's u/s and here's hoping that you start stims. AF arrived, yay! So you're another one with horrible headaches, huh? I'll do a bit of Kim's 'side-effects-be-gone' dance for you!!! So sorry to hear about the mandatory pay cut threat - like Carolyn, problems with your job are just the last thing you need right now.
AFM, the acupuncture has lessened the headaches and the hot flushes a little bit but they are still there - I seem to have a light to medium headache from about 11am through to when I go to bed every day. The side effects have now been joined by night sweats, so I'm not much enjoying this down regulation phase. Roll on 2nd April so I can get onto the next phase!!
Hope you have all had good weekends - catch up you next week!

Hope everything is good with you ladies and that things are on course, whichever stage you are all at now.

Aww.. Happy Mothering Day (that's what my calendar calls it) to our UK friends!
Sisi I'm glad to hear that all five of your little embies are doing well. That is great news! I'm hoping that Wednesday gets here erally quickly for you!! Good luck!
Hazel your weekend sounds just wonderful! Just think - soon you could have your own children running around your house with the dogs!! Sorry to hear about the headaches and night sweats. I will most certainly do a "role-on April 2nd" dance for you now!
Aims congrats on being PUPO! It's such a horrible wait. I wish they could install some kind of window to our uterus so we can get a daily report on the progress!!
hope&faith my Dh is VERY much like yours. He would prefer to not talk at all. But we have worked through many things in our years together and it always makes us stronger. I guess all I can say is hang in there - be there for him and support him if even if it means putting up with the silence when he goes in his "man-cave of feelings". Sometimes when my DH is there I fell all alone - but then I have all of these wonderful ladies who are just such a great support! It has made it easier for me to give Dh his space when he needs it - and suprise, surprise, Dh has been more open than ever lately. I hope you guys get through this okay, too. I'm sure he just needs time to work through things and he'll talk when he's ready.
Nicole The 2WW is awful I am afraid to say. I was off work this week (Spring Break) and I think that made it worse. I'll be in for a really long a busy week when I go back tomorrw, which I'm dreading, but I do hope it will take my mind off of all of this! I have decided not to POAS until next Saturday. I would probably cry to see a BFN and I don't want to POAS before going to work and then having a crappy day. My beta is on Friday and they won't call until Saturday, so I think I'll wait to POAS until Saturday.
Michele I hate when you can't figure out what is up with AF! Gosh, she's just so evil!! I hope it is just polyp stuff and the real AF makes herself known ASAP! I'm so happy that your MIL is getting back on track! That's great news. BTW I loved Ella's St. PAtty's day pic and her swimming lessons, too! How did yesterday's lesson go?
Uh-oh - running out of time...
to everyone who is stimming.. good luck. The needles really aren't so bad.
To everyone waitng for AF - I'll be dancing for you!!
To anyone I missed - I'm sorry - DH is breathing down my neck - got to go out now...
Take care, Kim

Hello ladies! It's a BEAUTIFUL weekend here in Raleigh, NC. We've spent most of the weekend outdoors I just love spring.
I had my day 9 u/s this morning. Follies still growing and looking good. RE just called with my b/w results and that looks good as well. I have another u/s Tuesday morning and she's 95% sure I'll be triggering Tuesday night, which means retrieval on Thursday, transfer next Sunday, YAAAY!!
Sisi, I'm right behind you
