Yeah KayCe! Congratulations! :P I am encouraged...

Babiesgalore and Dogzrule - Not much longer ladies...

I saw my RE today and it looks like I will trigger on Wednesday, 7/22, and have the ER on Friday, 7/24 and the transfer on Monday, 7/27. I have to keep reminding my self to stay calm and relax. Fortunately I will have to work the rest of the week, so I will have something to help keep my mind occupied.[/b]

So much to catch up on after this busy busy day for our thread...

KayCe - SO WONDERFUL!!! I'm so happy for you!

cheekyone - Glad the ET went well - I hope the wait goes quickly! And for your book, I'm from the Chicago area, but now live in Virginia. I imagine you with a big map and colored pins stuck in it!

Gi - I hope you enjoyed your old-fashioned weekend! I'll be envious, since we're not allowed any "old fashioned" fun for a couple of weeks!

Babies- 11 is fantastic! I'll have my fingers crossed for your fertilization report... There's no shame in vicodin. Enjoy the drugs now before your ET!

Jamie- I had small follicles catch up to big ones in both of my cycles, so I know it can happen!

Dogz - I'm dying to hear your update!

AFM, I had two great looking blasts transferred in today, and the process went smoothly. I'm supposed to call on Wednesday to find out how many of the remainders made it to the freezer (I think that there are up to 5 that might make it). Now I'm in bed, with laptop and novels. My doctor said I only have to stay on bed rest until tomorrow night!

On a side note - I had posted another topic about the PIO shots - I had a really bad reaction to them. Huge red welts (like the size of my hand) on both sides, rock hard, and so painful. The nurse took one look and said "cellulitis" and made me show the RE also. They switched me back to the suppositories. I was worried that I was just being a wimp, but they said that was a pretty extreme reaction. My RE also said he expects that a year from now, nobody will be using PIO, since more and more research is showing that there's no difference. So I feel much better about my own perceptions of it, and am looking forward to being able to sit down without crying out!

beth84 & dogzrule- you both had great outcomes! excellent! enjoy your bedrest and take good care for the next few days! ( by the way, what does PIO stand for Beth? sounds scary)

ME- so does anyone else have a nurse assigned to them who just doesn't care? she never returns my emails or phone calls...UGH! i just found out she ordered my meds twice at two different pharmacies. One is mail order and they say "someone has to pay for it." i just about became unglued! :evil:

anyway....i'm starting to feel tender around the midsection and Weds. is my next u/s ( which will be day 7) so i will ask all of the questions you ladies told me to! hopefully things are moving along in the right direction! i want a baby dammit! PMA! PMA!

Morning ladies,

Sunnygirl: thanks, if i didnt have PMA there is no way i would be doing a 6th attempt! I told my doctor i am only 29 and will keep going till it works!! If you stay focused and try not to let those BFN's get to you its grand - though i think i may need to rob a bank shortly :roll:

Dogzrule those embies sound fantastic!!!! Love the super duper one its gotta work!!!

lw918: fingers crossed that polyp wont interfere with the transfer xxx

Babiesgalore: 11 is a great number i could never manage that no. lets hope you get some frosties as well, hope you are resting xx

Kayce: Congrats!!! Our 1st pregnant lady and def. not our last - i wish you a happy 9 mths

Beth84 & cheekyone: Put yer feet up and let those embies snuggle in tight xxx

Cressicaw sorry to hear about your grandparent passing away, i hope you are ok.

AFM still waiting.... i am very impatient but AF not due for another 2 wks but knowing my luck she will tease me and be late!! Though i hope not cause i am doing this during my 2 wk hols so no-one in work will know

Good luck to all you ladies triggering shortly and all those on 2WW - exciting times :D

My RE just called and did not give me great news. Out of 10 mature eggs, only 4 fertilized. He said he would have liked to see at least 5-6. I am really dissapointed. Trying to have PMA that these 4 at least make it through and trying to tell myself it is the survival of the fittest. :(

Wow...this is a super busy board. Hard to keep up. Looks like there is some exciting things going on. I can hardly wait to hear everyone's results.

KayCe congrats! Wow! I am doing the biggest baby dance for you! H and H 9 months to you! I hope this is the first of many!

Cheeky Good luck in the dreaded 2ww. I hope you find some fun things to do to keep you busy! here's to hoping for good news soon for you!

babies Best wishes for a sucessful ER!

cressicawSorry to hear about your GM. Huggs!

dogzruleGreat news about the embies! That is great! Do you and dh want multiples? Just curious. DH and I would like a singleton but I think we will transfer 2 if we can to increase our chances of a BFP.

lw Ugh, sorry to hear about the polyp. They just found a couple small ones low in my uterus. I am waiting to hear if my cycle will be delayed ro not. Good luck and I hope things work out.

AFM, not much going on except dealing with my horrible clinic. My HSG results were faxed 3 times since last Thursday and yet they swear they do not have them. Even though I am faxing it to the number they tell me and I get a confirmation each time. I am getting so tired of this clinic. They seem so poorly run. Its so disappoiting to me b/c I had heard such great things. I like my doc but the office staff is just miserable. Plus, when I call to follow up, they never return calls until after 5 when there is nothing I can do to follow up with labs etc....If we get delayed b/c of these polyps, I think we might switch clinics. Do any of you have any new england suggestions????

KayCe - YIPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jumping up and down (well, not literally. Not allowed to do that atm!!!) with joy for you my dear!

Michele - my BETA is the same as beth's, the 29th. :lol: (((hugs))) her cycle twin!

babies - I'm sorry you feel discouraged, BUT miracles happen! When I got my 3-day update on Saturday, I have 6 average embies, 7-8 cells, and I was so hoping at least a couple would be of better quality. BUT yesterday morning, one of those little embies had skyrocketed to 120 cells!!!!!! My doctor called it a perfect embie. Praying for your miracle. As you said, it only takes ONE! :D

beth - YAY that everything went so well for you! Was thinking of you at my appointment.

jamie - doing the grow follies grow dance for you!!!

lw - you're triggered now wooohoooooo!!!! It felt SO good to get all those things out of me last week! :shock:

PathFinder - trigger's tomorrow for you! Sending lots of egg wishes your way!

AFM - turns out that super duper embie really was super, 120 cells!!!!!!!!! He put in that one and the 2nd best one (80 cells), and now.................we wait. :shock: The transfer itself went perfectly, but some lady two appts in front of me didn't go in with a full bladder, which left this other lady and me waiting out there DYING from full bladders. Turns out mine was way too full, and they sent me to pee for 10 seconds at a time 5 times to get it down. Then why tell me to drink 32 oz UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol: I'm still on "rest" today, but it is darn near impossible to barely move around. Grrr. Doing my best! Oh, he did give us a picture of the two little embies. AWESOME!!!! :D
