Thanks for the warm welcome EYCI!!
I started Provera last night, it was not part of my initial proctocol, yet they wont let me start Lupron until they are sure I will be getting a period, because my blood work continues to say I have not ovulated (I have been going through that for years but never missed a period in my life) and they say the only way to get me going to to take the Provera. I am nervous because I am expected to get my period next week, and they say if I do while on provera it will be very painful/heavy, but I guess if I can't deal with cramps how will I deal with labor??

Hi ladies, sorry have not posted for a while but there's really nothing to report for me. I'm still waiting to get to day 21 of my cycle so that I can start down-regulating. My transfer is not for 6 weeks and seems a loooong way away! DH and I are going on holiday tomorrow though for two weeks (one week on our own and one week in a villa with a group of friends) so that should help to pass the time!! I'm as excited as a toddler about going away - I have spent the afternoon packing and now I'm all ready...
Julie, Nicole, Carolyn - sending you all lots of calming and sticky vibes for your 2ww. Hope the 2ww passes swiftly and you all get your BFP's soon!
Sarah and prayin4BFP - good luck with your FET's. This time tomorrow Sarah you'll be PUPO!!
Kushka, deftonesmo, belle-02 and katie99 - grow follies! Will be thinking of you all at ER, hope it goes smoothly, I'm sure it will.
Everyone else - take care and you're all in my thoughts.
So ... I'm hoping to get access to the internet now and again while we're on holiday so that I can keep up with you all, but I may not get a chance to post again until we get back at the end of the month. I'm sure there'll be lots more BFP's at the bottom of Michele's list to add to Rosaro - PMA everyone...

Hi all
KJGrant - Sounds like a frustrating time for you. My periods are irregular but my doc did say that I have periods without ovulating. He reckoned I only naturally ovulate 4 - 5 times a year although I have more periods than this.
EYCI - I hope you are feeling better. Don't give up yet this may well be your time. I am sending you virtual good vibes.
CT_Michele: Have you had your next blood results yet? How is your neck now? Your doing such a good job on the board, I dont know how you keep up.
Wishfull_27: Congrats. Good luck with 2ww.
statsgoddess - Sorry to hear you have to wait but I am sure this is the right choice if the girls are anything like my sisters were (and still are) at that age!
cuppycake - well done on the 25 eggs. I hope those embryos develop well. Fingers crossed.
Rosario - Looks like good numbers. How are you feeling?
nicksgam - not long now. Hope you are not going crazy!
Sorry for those I have missed, it's so hard to keep up!

I started spotting again with cramps... They wanted for me to go for b/w on Monday but to be on the safe side I will be going tomorrow just so i can have a peace of mine. Guys I am so worried and to honestly tell you the truth I have not been able to enjoy the news that I am finally pregnant after 5 yrs. Going thru stress at work isn't making it better either.

Hey ladies...
Well, not such good news for me today. My estrogen went from 161 last week, to 409 today. I just don't get it. Of course I am definitely delayed now, they are hoping to get me back on track for a possible FET on July 22/23. They told me to stay on 10 units of lupron for another 2 weeks and come in for u/s and bw. They said I will probably get my period, and then hopefully the lupron will start working and keep everything suppressed.
I am aggravated and frustrated of course. But maybe everything happens for a reason. My brothers out of state wedding is on July 11, and dh and I are in the wedding party, so it has been very stressful with travel plans and such. Also, A July 22 transfer gives me a due date very close to mine and my mom's b-day, so maybe it is good luck, and since I am determined to have another girl, that will mean more diamonds (April's birthstone) for daddy to buy!
Ugh, I am so tired, I had so much running around to do today, sorry no personals for now, but I will probably catch up tomorrow.

KJGrant - I hope the provera does the trick for you with bringing on AF so that you body is where the doctors want it to be. Try not to worry about it being heavy. I've found my periods to be no different when having to use it.
HJW - Have a fabulous holiday! That is great that you can get away for 2 weeks. It will for sure make the time go faster and keep your mind off of things!
Rosario - I'm praying for you! I think spotting and cramping is fairly common. I happened to me with my first. I just say this to help put your mind at ease. I'm glad you can get in earlier than Monday.
Michelle - So sorry that you are delayed! I'm sure it must be frustrating. Kudos on having such a good outlook on it. Enjoy having a cocktail or two at your brothers wedding. April sounds like a great time to have your 2nd! Hugs to you.
Sending you all lots of positive vibes (maybe I should send some to myself!)

Hello, Ladies!
A couple personals....
Julie, keep your chin up. The 2ww is so terrible. It's the worst part of the whole deal in my opinion. I have a feeling this is going to work out for both of us, giving our little guys siblings!
Michele, SUCK! Sorry you got pushed back and that your estrogen is all out of wack. What does you RE think it's from? So weird that you were so "normal" and now little problems keep popping up. I'm sorry.
Rosario, Hang in there. You've waited so long for this and that's why it's all the more difficult to relax and relish in your BFP. After that confirmation u/s things really do ease up and the god-awful journey of infertility goes away. I never thought it would, but it does... I'm thinking about you.
Carolyn, YEAH! PUPO!! I'm right behind you tomorrow!!! I'm so sorry this is your 4th time, though. You're an old pro. This is your time! It has to be!!!
Sabi, I'll be thinking of your donor tomorrow! Great news....moving forward! When will you transfer?
Hazel, have a wonderful holiday! That should make your wait go faster!
AFM, I need to get to bed. I report to the hospital tomorrow morning at 6:30. I'm pretty relaxed about the whole thing. I have good feelings about this. No contact from my clinic regarding my embies, so no news is good news!
A friend said a wonderful phrase to me earlier this week....LET GO...LET GOD. That's been my motto all week. It's out of my hands! I'll be in touch tomorrow when I'm PUPO!!

CT_Michelle - you are right.everything happens for a reason. i was very upset when my cycle was pushed from April-May to June-July. Then later my sister-in-law decided to visit us unexpectedly during that time, and we were not planning to tell her about our IVF cycle! so it turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Ck121--- welcome, glad you found us. The dose of follistim is differs person to person. I have seen much higher doses; your doctor will monitor your simulation and may or may not adjust your dose.
Kushka--- 9 is a good number, I had fewer on the u/s prior to ER and more continued to grow. My doctor said the new trend is not to over stimulate, it is to get better quality eggs. Good luck with the ER on Sunday, hoping for lots of eggs.
deftonesmo---it is common to adjust the dose, it sounds like your doctor is closely monitoring you, a sign of a good doctor. Sending you PMA, grow follies grow.
belle-02---hope the stims are getting better. I didn’t have mood swings, but by the end my tummy was so bloated it was hard to pinch my skin to insert the needle. When is your ER?
katie99 ---Whoohoo, congrats on starting your cycle.
sabi – Congrats on the ER tomorrow, hope you get lots of good quality eggs. Do you know when your ET is?
Sarah--- Rest up tomorrow is a big day!!! Let us know how it goes?
Julie--- how are you feeling? I have been thinking a lot about POAS, but scared it is too early and not sure I could handle a negative result. For now I am just happy to be PUPO.
Carolyn---glad you joined the 2ww club. How did your transfer go? Sending you lots of sticky vibes.
Michele – I am a strong believer in things happen for a reason. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend
Now you can enjoy your brother’s wedding, relax and have a good time.
Jess--- Good news, yep one step closer.
sunshine.12---has AF come, how come she never cooperates? Doing the AF dance for you.
statsgoddess---I agree waiting until you are in a more peaceful environment is best, don’t need to add additional stress.
Hazel--- Have a wonderful holiday, it is nice you are able to get away. I wished we had planed one before for all this began. 2ww is tough, it is going by pretty fast, but it is hard not being able to live a normal life, without worrying about jeopardizing the embies. Your cycle will be here before you know it and you will be rested and ready to go.
Rosario – Glad you are able to see the doctor tomorrow, let him put your mind as ease, take it easy and rest up on the weekend.
KJGrant---welcome, I am doing the AF dance for you.
I am sending PMA to all, and of course baby dust.

Michele - Oh my gosh! That is a high estrogen level. I can't believe it went up, do they know why? Things do happen for a reason. Gotta love Lupron. Actually, I started estrace yesterday and I don't know if it's a combination of that and Lupron - but I have a mother of a headache today. I think it might turn into a migraine. This is awful.
sabi - Lots of prayers to you and your donor!!!!
ck121 - welcome! Good luck with your IVF! You'll find lots of info and great people here!
Thoughts and prayers to everyone!
