Praying- I am so sorry to hear your news. I was really hoping those other four would work out. Take the time you need and when you are ready we will be here, let us know what you will do next.
vicky- how exciting to start stims!
daisy- it was I, the POAS queen who posted those test sites. Your first poas was early, let us know what happens with the next one this weekend.
sunshine- congrats on 4 eggies, can't wait to hear a fert. report tomorrow.
afm- I wish I had better news, but I don't. The office just called, and it was the RE himself, which I knew wasn't good news. He said my e2 levels did drop to 76, which was better, but not as low as they would like, and he said my lining was a little thicker than hoped too at 8mm. So he said it is the cyst that caused the e2 and lining to not be so good, and he said we need to start over...so I guess this counts as a canceled cycle. He told me to stop the lupron and he is calling in a script for provera which I start tonight and take for a week. He said I will then get af, come in for u/s and bw, then start bcp's for a couple weeks and then lupron again. He wouldn't give me a date, but by my math, I will be lucky to get an August transfer, thats if I have no more bumps in the road.
I am frustrated and aggravated. I could again look on the bright side and say, atleast I will not be working at all in august and atleast I get a break from the crappy lupron injections, but honestly, I am tired of looking on the bright side and I really just want to get moving. It just plain sucks and there is nothing I can do about it.
Of course I will still be hanging with you all, even if I will not cycle in june or july...I could never leave you ladies...I will still do all the updates and keep you posted on my slow going progress.
JUNE/JULY 09 cycle buddies

Well I guess I have joined this a little late. I am due to test this Saturday and am terrified it is going to be a bfn. I tested yesterday and got a bfn not sure what that means but I guess it doesn't mean that it hasn't worked. I am lucky enough to have one daughter who was concieved by IVF in 2006. This was my last frozen embryo as the other one died during the defrosting process so I guess I was lucky to have one survive to be put back. This is my 4th attempt I miscarred last year at 7 weeks.
Good luck to those that are waiting to test I hope it is good news. If it hasn't worked and you have a bfn or have had to abandon I am sorry. It is so difficult for us but we always pick ourselves up and try again.

Michelle - I was worried when you said they saw a cyst. I figured that was what was causing your high E2. i would think if you got AF pretty soon then you could have your FET done in August. It isn't even July yet. I guess I could be wrong. I have never done a FET before so I am not too sure on their protocol but it always seems that the girls on FET cycles go so much quicker. Enjoy the next few weeks with no injections. Will always be keeping tabs on you. You have been such great support for this site.

lisajayeash - good luck for Saturday! Keep us posted. Hope its BFP for you! 
After reading a lot of these posts - am I right in thinking that a lot of you do pregnancy tests before your actually test date?! You are all soooooo brave! I hate doing the test on the actually day - don't think I could put myself through testing early and it saying BFN!!! Its bad enough seeing it on the day!

Hi Ladies,
Just a quick one from me to say hi.
Sbr, I'm so sorry to hear your news. My heart is breaking for you. Stay strong and take that break, and know that you will be ok. You're in my prayers.
Wishfulll, HUGE congratulations. Soooo happy for you. Yay! Yay!
I've been a bit up and down the last couple of days. I felt so positive straight after the ET. I was at home for 5 days. DH really pampered me (I was v lucky) and there were positive vibes bouncing all over our apartment. I've been back at work for 2 days now and I just feel really worried. Can't seem to find my positive mojo. I think it's maybe because going back to work feels like the same old routine / life back to normal, but without anything to show for this mammoth journey. Anyway, I know I'm whining. Just nervous.
Beta is on Monday. Think I will POAS on Monday morning. Won't be able to face doing it earlier than that I think.
Love to all
Kushka. X

Good afternoon ladies and greetings from my home-away-from-home hotel room in Denver.
To get caught up:
CTMichele: I feel like you are our fearless leader and now you have sad news...that's hard for me! I'm really sorry about the canceled cycle. IT IS SO HARD TO WAIT and just as hard to lose all of the forward movement (i.e., shots, pills, etc). But I guess that not starting over is NOT an option, so you have to try and find the patience. You are very young and that will work to your advantage (it's not like those of us in our 40's who having to wait a few more months could make all the difference in the world). I'm thinking of you and hope that you find a way to cope as best as possible.
Kushka: I think the ups and downs are normal. There must be sort of a "honeymoon" period after the ET, then reality sets in and the excitement can turn to worry or impatience or negativity. Hopefully you will swing back and find the PMA again as it gets closer to beta. You've got such a great sense of humor---can you try and use that right now in any way? Humor is very therapeutic. Good luck!
Julie nurse: I, too, am on my first ever IVF cycle and was scared to death, especially of the meds. But notice that I typed that in the past tense, which means that you really do get used to everything and the fear lessens and somewhere in there you start to feel empowered and excited and positive and it's a good thing. I hope it will happen to you, there's no reason it shouldn't. It helps to be on these boards, for sure. We're behind you all the way!
Daisy106: Your comments about the hotel room definitely helped! You're right--no dogs to feed, no dinner to cook, no DH stinky shoes to pick up...I even went and bought some flowers to make it more "homey." I also LOL at your governor comment!
Try to contain your POAS anxiety and best of luck with your beta!!
sbr: I am just so, so sorry to hear of your news. But I admire you for knowing what you need and want to do next, which is take a break. Sounds like a very reasonable plan to me--whatever it takes to take care of YOU and find a PMA again when you are ready. We'll all be here when that happens to help you along.
Rosario: I LOVE that you posted a pic of your pee stick! Priceless! You should take up scrapbooking! CONGRATS on your triplets and holy moly!!
sabi: I am so anxious to hear your beta results. If this IVF cycle (or maybe 1-2 others) doesn't work, we may be looking at egg donor too. So keep us all posted and good luck!!
prayin4BFP: Oh my, I'm just so sorry about the test results. I'm older like you and know the feelings about waiting too late, self-blame, etc. I can't tell you to just stop having them because you've got to work this through in your own way, but I can tell you that you've got to stay focused in this very moment...i.e., you are doing something right now to try and get pregnant. You are involved with a clinic, a ER, you've done a recent cycle, they have information on you, etc etc. You are already ahead of many people, yes even our age, who are only thinking about looking in to this. Take some time to decide what you want to do next but try not to blame yourself...maybe this cycle was just not meant to be but that doesn't mean it has to be the case next time. You are in my thoughts.
KatieG: WELCOME. This is great group of ladies who have much to teach, share, and encourage. Best of luck with your cycle and keep us posted.
Debbie67: Tomorrow is the big day!! I have found the injections to be very reasonable, no real problems, so hopefully you will too. And from what I know, I think the estradiol # of 49 is fine. My clinic always says they like to see it below 50, and last time I checked, 49 was definitely below 50! Keep us posted!
wishful27: YOU GO GIRL! Such great news! A big huge congratulations to you and DH!!
AFM, I have officially moved in to my hotel room (it's a 4-hour drive from my house to clinic so I'm here having daily u/s and b/w until the ER around July 2nd). Today was first u/s where they look at follicles....the report is that I have 12 on the right side and 12 on the left side. Of those, a total of 15 already appear to be growing. I think this is good news....would you all agree, especially for an old 42 year-old??
They are going to cut my Gonal-F dose from 300 to 150 starting tonight but all other meds stay the same, so I think overall they think I'm doing fine. I am still feeling no side effects from the meds and staying positive and dealing much better with the fact that I'm gonna have a long wait between my ER and ET. So, when I'm not at the clinic I'm here in my room working on my dissertation and reading this thread! I'll keep updating you on the progress......until then, PMA to everyone!

I am so sorry to hear all of your overwhelming news. know that there are people like me who are with you and praying for the very best. May god bless you, be strong and you will get through this and be able to look back on it one day and say it wasn't all that bad, but as of right now yes it is that bad and the uncontrollable urge to just get to the future is probably beating down your door. I feel for you and you are in my prayers. keep in touch girl. thanks, abogenpohl

update on abogenpohl
well everyone tomorrow 6-26 is my big day, we will finally be to the end of my 2ww. I must admit that yes i did cheat on the poas the 23rd to be astonished 
that it had come back with bfp. I had called the dr office for the nurse to tell me just to wait and get blood drawn on 26th. It's been so hard to sit around and wonder if this will be our big chance at life and babies???? May god bless us and anyone going through these trialing, troubling, overwhelming times. So now I wait for test to give me the magic numbers and pray hard they will be good and high. thanks and keep me posted!!! Prayin4BFP-I am so, so sorry for you. Take care of yourself.
CT_Michele-I can’t imagine how frustrated and angry you must be. You take care of yourself.
Wishfull27-A belated congratulations!
Rosario-I’m so happy you continue to progress along with your trips!
Angeinhull-I’ll bet you’re happy to be moving along with your stimming.
Welcome Julie nurse.
to_have_fun08-I guess I am an old timer around here LOL, doesn’t feel like it. I hope you get your insurance stuff worked out. Otherwise it sounds like everything is moving forward for you as planned, hooray!
Sunshine.12-Grow embies grow! You just need one!
Daisy106 and Kushka-my fellow 2ww’ers. Are you going crazy yet?!? And Kushka, I know exactly how you feel, each 2ww I’ve been through has been such a roller coaster of emotions. One day you’re walking on cloud 9 convinced it worked and the next day you’re as low as you can be convinced that it didn’t work. There’s nothing to do but just wait it out.
Stay Positive-It sounds like you are really moving forward with things now. How exciting!

Rosario: You go girl with those trips!! My God are you ever blessed! Love those pix, dh got a kick out of them.
To have fun : Love the baby dance bananas!
Kushka: My fellow et buddy, don't give up the ship just a couple of more days till your BFP! Hang in there sister!
Praying4: YOU are NOT a failure!! I am so so sorry. This IVF is a very tough road. You are not to blame. If you need to vent, pm me anytime. You are in my thoughts & prayers.
abogenpohl: Congrats on your BFP!! How many days?? Keep us informed about your beta results tomorrow. Yipeeeeee!!!!
stay postive: room service no fuss no muss lucky you! You're a trooper- you obviously inject yourself- my hero! Good luck this week.
CT Michelle: The mother hen. I'm so sorry for the delay again! One way to look at is is that next week is July and the summer goes so fast it will be Aug b4 you know it. Whatever it takes to get through. Keep up the pma & sip on a tall one!! I would love a beer a coffee or even a diet coke. I was a caffeine junkie. Actually, I would love to fit in a couple pairs of my shorts- I'm bloated & I must of gained 7 pounds during these last 2 weeks. What a pig I am. If I'm not preg I'm going to shoot myself. Sorry about the rant. Glad to hear you are going to stay with us. This thread would not be the same without you.
I'm hanging in there. Beta is on Tuesday, June 30th. NO I am not poas. I believe I would freak if I saw another negative. It's killing me though...
I feel very fat right now. Been eating toooooo much & not exercising. I'm used to bike riding & walking almost everyday. Going away for the weekend. Leaving tomorrow evening. I'll catch up on Monday.
Sorry for the ladies I missed. So much & many of us on this thread. All of you are in my thoughts & prayers. Takes a truly special person to buy this ticket on the IVF roller coaster. I wouldn't wish this ride on my worst enemy. Hang tough all!!
Baby dust, stickies, PMA, patience dust, & peace to all!

haha Carolyn...no names!
Daisy- sounds like it could really be happening, trigger should definitely be gone by now, you are 11dpo, and I have seen real positives earlier than that. Sounds like congratulations are in order!
Carolyn- hang in there, July 13th is very close, it is also my best friends b-day, so it will be a good luck day! I know I am the POAS queen, and I do already have 20 strips sitting in my bathroom ready for this time, but I am not sure how early I will start, since I will not have a trigger this time. I usually do it super early to make sure trigger is gone so I won't get any false positives, but this time, I will know that, and I know it is not even remotely possible to see a true positive for about a week after transfer.
sabi- I will definitely be having some beverages for everyone. My brother's wedding is in 2 weeks, and I plan to party! I too am a caffeine junkie, well just with soda, I don't drink coffee. I couldn't even really give it up during pregnancy, I just get way down to one or less per day, which is considered safe. Hang in there girl, you are just a couple of days away, I admire people who can make it with poas...as carolyn has pointed out, I am a total addict.
abogenpohl- congrats on a positive hpt...sounds like good news for you, can't wait to hear today.
stay positive- that is what I am most mad about, the wasted time and forward progress with shots and such. Ya know, I posted to ghost about this weeks ago and he immediately said cyst, but RE didn't even mention it...so I feel like it was a wasted 3 weeks staying on the lupron...but nothing I can do now...I know I am young and have lots of time, but I guess I am selfish in the sense I want my kids to be close in age. And that's what all of these delays and bfn's are affecting. My brothers and I are close in age and we are best friends, so I just want the same for Ella. Good job on the follies! Sounds like you will get a lot of eggies!
Kushka- try to get that pma back, I know it's hard, but your almost there.
chris- thanks for the kind words, I know august is not that far, and I am expecting a transfer then...hopefully.
Ok everyone, gotta run, I am hosting a playdate for my parents group at my house this morning, so even though I cleaned up yesterday, there is still lots to do before they get here. I will check in again this afternoon.

OMG Ladies!! I am MIA for 2 days and theres like 3 new pages. You all will make a typist out of me yet!
Sarah - I am so sorry to hear what happened. I swear the ups & downs of this roller coaster are devastating. I think that you are a strong woman and the decision to step back and take a break is a wise one. Sometimes you just have to regroup and heal. When you decide to try again we will be here when you are ready. HUGS!
Prayin - YOU ARE NOT A FAILURE!! I am so sorry. This is such a difficult and stressing journey for all of us. At least we have a support system here on the boards. Rest, recover, regroup and heal. HUGS!
Sunshine - We are all waiting to hear how many fertilized. keep us posted. sending you loads of PMA & Dividing Dust!!
Daisy - I'll wish you some patience dust. I think that we could all use a little of that (A LOT?) STICKY STICKY STICKY!!! Thanks for your kind words the other day. I love how upbeat & positive you always are. Yes the new puppy (Ava) helps but I swear she is nocturnal! I guess that its good practice though. My brain is foggy from lack of sleep - but I will take/post pics. hang in there girl!
Vicky - YAY! Injections??!! are you buying HPTs yet?
Michele - I'm sorry to hear that you got delayed. It really is hard to be patient after the first delay. I am in the same boat, at least there are a couple of us August girls. Yes, I too go on red alert when the RE himself calls, when you hear his voice its a dead giveaway! hang in there
Lisajayneash - Welcome! You are exactly right, you just have to pick up the pieces and forge ahead. Good Luck on SAT.!!!
Kushka - My fingers are crossed for you!! monday is coming! STICKY STICKY thoughts to you my friend
Stay positive - Greatest.Screen.Name.Ever! Its like you are at IVF camp - but with maids & room service!!
abogenpohl - how exciting for you! my fingers are crossed for you! Keep us posted!
Chris - Love the baby dance bananas!!! YAY!! giant box- -o- meds!
Wicked - GOOD LUCK TODAY!!!
Carolyn - How are you feeling mum??
Julie nurse - Welcome! Here are the bravest strongest women with invaluable advice & info! I learn something new everyday here
AFM - I am still waiting for AF, again. I am guessing early next week? please? so we can get the ball rolling again. In the meantime it is hilarious watching my DH carry the new puppy, Ava around like a baby, even more funny is how she has him wrapped around her paw. LOL
Hugs & PMA & Babydust to everyone!!!
