Hi everyone!

Hope that you all are having a great weekend! Its way too hot in NY when you open the door its like walking into a wet blanket YUK!

karling - Shame on whomever blasted you! I swear, some people havent a clue! After all you have been through, at least it brought you to this site. The ladies here are wonderful, intelligent & caring. I'm wishing you the very best of luck!

wolffie - I feel for you, what a time to get a UTI, I used to get them years ago, but thankfully not anymore. I understand your concerns , but an antibiotic wouldnt interfere with BCPs - unless we were using BCPs for actual birth control. Isnt ivf a crazy thing? feel better!

shelby - You have such a way with words! Now do I have this right? the kids will help with inj? I love it! I think that is so great! BTW, I lived in Columbus, GA for a few years & used to think that I would never leave it. I do miss the south!

mjay - fingers are crossed for your b/w & u/s!

michele - hows things going with you? I'm still doing the low E2 for you!

hugs & prayers to us all!

Katie - Yes, ma'am. When we decided to do our second round of IVF I asked the boys (ages 12 & 16) if they would like to give me the shots. They both said yes, but it is still yet to be determined if they chicken out!

That's cool that you lived in GA! I've lived here 95% of my life and don't think I would move anywhere else. We live in the northern mountain region and I love it!

Is anyone else having problems with this site? My mouse won't click @ go where I want it to and the Log On link is different? But it could be my 'mad' computer skills failing me again!

WOW - we went camping for the weekend, so I'm just now catching up. I'm glad to report that I wasn't too crampy after the salin sono on Friday, and DH didn't have any gasey spells during our shot education. Thank goodness and good grief. Needles just give me the heebee geebees, so I felt icky after the shot education...but I know we'll make it through the shots this time too. I'll receive my meds this week (my best friend calls it my "baby in a box"). I'm looking forward to getting it all organized. I'm waiting to start Lupron on 9/8.

(Ok - my mouse is doing weird things also on this website. Sorry no smilies this time.)

wolfie - Thanks for changing the name of the post! You rock!! GL on talking with your principal. It's always hard and stressful dealing with IVF and work. I'll pray that your principal is super understanding. YUCK on the UTI.

Neffi - I'm so sorry about your delay - I'll be watching you down the road.

shoebox - Welcome!!! Our stories sound VERY similar. I also have PCOS, 1 blocked tube and we tried for 5 1/2 years (Clomid, metformin, loose weight, etc, etc.) before having our DD with our first IVF round. We'll pray that you're also successful on your first IVF too!

Karling - Welcome!!! I remember being SOOOOO overwhelmed last cycle, and I still feel that way this time too. However, you just take it 1 day at a time, ask a ton of questions when you have them, and you'll be through the process before you even know it. You can do it! You are certainly more than welcome here. I've seen nothing but encouragement and hope on these message boards. I totally agree with shelbyrn - everyone may be here by different ports of call, but we're all here for the same reason. Well said shelbyrn!! And a big huge welcome to Karling.

mjay - WHEW-HEW on the follies!!!! I never had that many follies to chose from. You go girl!!!

katie - Welcome!!! Sorry for all of your delays. That is super frustrating. Hopefully you'll be cycling soon!

it must be a problem with the site. I normally use google chrome as a browser and I could not even log in, so I switched to internet explorer thinking it was a browser issue. Now I am on explorer and I can sign in and post, but I can not click anywhere with my mouse either. Glad to hear I am not the only one.

I am reading everyone, but guess I will post personals another time.

shelbyrn0214 · Post by **shelbyrn0214** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 2:16 am

Update: I received my first ever Lupron injection from a 12 year old!!!!! LOL! He did so great!!!! I'm very proud

I have a little red, rashy area from the medicine and boy does it itch!!! Ganirelix did me the same way last time.

Just thought I would let everyone know that I made it! he..he.. TTYL

mjay · Post by **mjay** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 3:01 am

shelbyrn- girl you are so brave. my mother is giving me repronex in the booty and it took me about 20 minutes to get the nerve to let her do it. i love the fact that your fam is so helpful throughout your journey.

everyone- thanks so much for the encouragement while i'm stimming. those 24 follies are now at varying sizes between 10-13, and i have 9 more! so now i have a total of 33 follies.

from what i understood they are evenly distruted between both ovaries, at least the 24 are. got more bw and u/s tomorrow...

michele- how are you? i'm prayerful that you will be suppressed this week!

j&c- "baby in a box" LMAO!!!

Hi all, sorry I haven't written lately, crazy busy.

HELLO ALL NEW COMMERS! I've read your stories and it is heart renching, I'm praying for all of you!

I started Lupron on Friday, 10 units a day and I'm still on the bcp until the 18th. I go in for my next b/w on the 24th so still on track for FET Sept 11th.
Good Luck All

Hi girls. Sorry its been a while since I have posted. I have bee reading but I have been so busy, I apologize I am too behind for personals. I see everyone seems to be getting started on the right foot. I hope to see a lot of BFPs for us all.

AFM, surgery went really well. I had to delay start of my IVF cycle due to my planned vacation. But we are on our way....kinda. I got AF today so I will start 3 weeks BCP on Thursday....lupron week 3 and will have supression check.....them we will stim away.....

I hope everyone is well. I will try and post more and do more personals.

Baby dust to you all!

Mjay - I couldn't believe he did so well. I'll let them do the Lupron, but the PIO will have to be DH job.

Miyaya - Whew! Good to know that your surgery went well. You've been on my mind and I was hoping that no news was good news. Hope you have a very relaxing vacation!

Malya324 - Woohoo!!! Moving one step closer! I had to move you dow 2 sections in the list! Gotta love that!

Lady_J · Post by **Lady_J** » Mon Aug 17, 2009 3:58 pm

Good Morning Ladies!!!! Sorry I have been MIA. I took Friday off, I was too lazy to come to work. plus I have the weekend off as it is so I had me a nice long weekend. Too bad I have to be back today.

Well, I have missed so much now I am afraid I can't catchb up. I will try in the next couple days.... but to all the newbies... Welcome!!! Hope u get the support u seek. And hope you get a BFP with this cycle...

AFM... Yesterday was my last BCP!!! Yipee!!!!!!!! My AF has held up but now I need the AF dance so I can get it soon. SInce I am not on Lupron.... now I just wait for my AF, so that they can tell me when to come in to get checked and to see when my FET is scheduled for. Ayy Vayyy!!! So now the excitment really kicks in. I still get nausea spells but not as constant as before, but I ahve been urinating alot for the last few days... but it could also be all the watermelon juice I have been drinking. Al I know is that I wake up grouchy and sad inside.

and I dont know why???

Hi all!

Lovely AF arrived this weekend and I went in for b/w, then sono today. All looks great and got my calendar - I actually start stimming tonight, with possible egg retrieval NEXT WEEK (27th, 28th, or 29th).

I pray I have more mature follies than they can count! Grow, grow, grow.

(:

Hi ladies! -

Boy, the site is still acting weird, huh? It wont let the mouse correct typing mistakes either! I did get my new ivf schedule today (that was fast!) My RE put me back on antagonist, Now thats fine, but thats what I was on in june when cancelled, so I plan to call tomorrow and ask how this time will be different? I do know that with antagonist my E2 levels were "peak" I think I just have to trust in his opinion! hope all of you are doing well.

shelby - I used to go to the Blue Ridge Mtns. Wow isnt it beautiful there! Bless your patience, a teen with a syringe! he he

Since you are the keeper of the list, BCPs til 9/10 stims start 9/17- ER/ ET the week of the 28th ( as long as I get there this time! please god!) thanks

j&c - thanks! Your "baby in a box" OMG! a riot! love it!

mjay - you go! grow those follies!

miyaya - nice to "see" you again! glad that your surgery went well. have a great vacation

lady j - I'll start the AF dance for you

cheryl - YAY for beginning stims - who else but us is happy for injections?

michele - As always, my friend, fingers are crossed for you tom!!
