Fitzjr - Goodness you are FULL of follies! That's super! Good luck with your trigger tonight. I'll say a prayer for a successful and pain-free retrieval. Let us know how you do.

If all goes well, we will be transferring 3 (I'm soooo old, it's harder to get preggers). How many is everyone else doing?

Michele - What a cutie patootie! My little Reed has his 1st in late October. Did Ella eat the cake? I'm not sure Reed would know what to do with it (other than bang on it). Do they sell yards of plastic to wrap them in before cake time? ha!

Cheryl - 2 for me

Michele - SO CUTE!

Fitzjr - WOW! You're full as a tick! That's great!

Got my flu shot yesterday and my arm is so sore! I just keep working it to get the soreness out. TTFN!

Cheryl- Ha! We put her in a bathing suit so we could wash her down after wards. We also bought a big disposable bib and put a disposable table cloth under her high chair. She tasted it first, which you will see if you check out t he youtube video I posted earlier. She like poked on finger in, licked it and it was all over form there! By the end, she was licking the plate and her high chair tray, it was so funny!

Hello girls! -

Wow, I am having a hard time keeping up with you all. You sure are some typing females! I'm eager to be finished being in a holding pattern that is way too familiar by now, but what can you do? I have another 2+ weeks of bcp before it gets interesting again. Getting there, but ack! the waiting game ....

shelby - Yeah, endo wasnt something that I enjoyed in school, either ( who knew we would end up needing it?) Glad that the kids are enjoying giving inj. Maybe a career in health care is in store for them?

turtle - we are all in this together. It really helps so much to talk to other ivf-ers

lady j - Yay for AF! your fet wont be long now!

michele - Sooo happy about your e2 levels!!! At last! the wait is almost over!! you need a sibling for the uber cute miss Ella!!!

cheryl - Good luck with your ER tomorrow! my clinic does AH for all women over 35 as standard practice

j&c - A porcupine? Your Dh sounds like my DH!

dtao - enjoy being PUPO!! I hear you on the stir crazy, I thought that the bedrest was so difficult!!

johannanita - Good to see you again! I have my fingers crossed for you this cycle! How goes the stims so far?

cheeky - Hooray for how quick your new RE is!! I have a good feeling this time! Soo excited for you!!

wolffie - How are things with you?

I feel like I've written a book, he he - If I left anoyone out, I'm sorry but know that you are all in my thoughts & prayers - xoxo

[shelbyrn0214]

Fitzjr -
So tomorrow night is it?

[cheryl010120]

Fitz - so sorry you have to stim for one more night. Maybe you'll get some bonus follies as a result! Hang in there, the 2WW light at the end of the tunnel is almost there!

[Neffi211]

Hey ladies-- really quick.....RE called today and said I can do the Spet cycle as long as my uterus checks out ok next week! Im surprised, but they are just cutting my BC pills to only two weeks.....I hope that is ok? Anyone else do that? Now I worried that it wont owrk casue my body wont be ready??

[shelbyrn0214]

Neffi - That's so great! I know you are excited! And i didn't finish my BCP when I was taking them either. Maybe Ghost will have some insight.

Mjay and Cheryl - Best of luck to you both tomorrow!

[mjay]

hey ladies! there are so many of us now. i'm super excited and super nervous for my transfer tomorrow. i'm excited b/c everything (except recovery from ER) has gone very well and i'm super positive! but i know there are no guarantees. i just pray that we ALL get BFPs and have beautiful healthy babies with our current cycles. i'm thinking of everyone and praying that things continue to progress for all of us. ivf is nothing but 'hurry up and wait,' over and over again. the fact that we have endured all of this, some of us multiple times, speaks to our strength, discipline, and love we have to give to our offspring. God Bless and good luck.

one question- women frquently contribute cramping, sore boobs and other pregnancy symptoms to the PIO during the 2ww. why haven't i had any of these symptoms yet? do they only come after ET?

[katie99]

mjay - everyone reacts differently to the pio inj. some have alot of symptoms, while some have none at all. It doesnt affect the outcome at all. Lots of women get their BFP with no symptoms. Dont stress it. Wishing you best of luck for tomorrow!!

Hi Neffie,

I am also on the BC for only two weeks and my other medication starts on Tuesday. I am really excited - it is our first cycle. Good luck to you and all the others.

[shelbyrn0214]

Mjay - I didn't start to have sore boobs etc. until a few days of taking the PIO. And even then they weren't that bad. It was about a couple of weeks into taking it that I could hardly walk with out pain. They hurt to even look @ them! Not looking forward to that part again, but it'll be worth it! I'm loving your PMA by the way! That's awesome! Nothing but the best tomorrow! Stick dust comin' at cha! You're gonna be PUPO by this time tomorrow! Doesn't that sound great!

Ok, it's official, I start estrace tonight, but they are keeping me on 20 units of lupron with it, they said they don't want to take any chances by lowering my dose with how long it took me to suppress. With no more bumps in the road, looks like an FET date of sept 23 or 24.
