Sangria - my clinic is in buffalo grove and my transfer will be at Highland Park. I love Gurnee Mills though! Once were preggo we should meet at Gurnee for some baby shopping! :wink:

lisa and turtle - yeah, I know that men are on a different wave length. wouldn't it be nice if they could wakl in our shoes just for a couple of days?!?! even though he and I have been through this before he still doesn't seem to get it. We have known the day of tansfer for over a month (since it's a FET) and he had all this time to figure things out. leave it to a man to leave something important till the alst minute. If he knows what's good for him he'll figure it out! :wink:

Hello ladies-

After a great evening at a baby shower (yes, of course, 4 teachers are pregnant at my school right now so I'll be going to MANY of these) I wanted to check in on everyone here!

fitz-WOOHOO! I am excited for you :)

katie99- I think the "10 day stims" is perfect case scenario. After the last canceled cycle I really wouldn't be surprised if it was much longer. I'm keeping up the PMA and hoping everything goes according to the "plan" this time :)

teachermom-I'm so sorry to hear about the job situation. Even on tough days I remind myself that I am so lucky to have a job. I know the frustration with a canceled cycle-I am praying that the follies grow and you don't have to go through it. Keep the faith :)

wolffie-only best thoughts tomorrow. keep us updated on how things went for you.

I'm with you ladies on having twins (I realize I'm crazy but...) This is our one shot and I would feel so blessed. I'm trying to convince my mom to retire and move close to offer extra hands and love!

Keep the faith ladies-best thoughts for all!!

katie99-LMAO...you and shelby crack me up....my DH will translate for everyone....he might go a little crazy though :)

shelby-yall are so funny...i head to show my DH your and katies post. He says "come on...the more the merrier". :) I love diving...i have only been a few times though. My DH and I were suppose to go to austrailia to dive the great barrier reef, but he forgot to get a visa, so we had to cancel the trip :( Do you dive in the atlanta aquarium? i hear it is amazing!

wolffie-of course there is room! Plus, Baba (serbian grandma) cooks some yummy serbian food :) DH will come to his senses....i cant wait till you are pupo!!!!

deftonesmo-wwwwwwwwwwwwoooooooooooohooooooooooooo!!! I am so happy for you! I love all these BFP!!!!! get snuggly in there little one(s)...youll be in there for 9 months!

akowens-Utah...huh...well ill come there next if I have to since im your neighbor. thats cheap! i heard nebraska has ivf for $8000 as well

ftizjr-YYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYY! Congrats girl!!

malay, stlgrl and ladyj-you are all pupo! yay! i hope your embies are getting nice and warm and snuggly!

mjay-3 times...u poor thing! hope that pain goes away for good very soon! two little smiling faces would make you forget about it all...no worries. PMA to you!!

teachermom- oh my...i hope those follies grown and it doesnt get canceled. although, i think it makes more since to do iVf without BCP's...ya know, try and be at least a little bit natural. Sorry about the job...that is hard. Can you tutor to make extra $$?

AFM-I forgot to take my BCP yesterday and doubled up today. But, I am still having break through bleeding. I called my nurse and she said it happens all the time and it wont mess things up. Whew! Now another hoop to jump through: in order to transport my DH's sperm samples, we need to use a liquid nitrogen dry shipper and no one can tell me if you are allowed to fly with it. So, we have to go to the airport and meet with a TSA person. Also, it will be $250 to rent the darn thing. Hopefully we can get it all figured out...this is way too stressful!

I have a crick in my neck and can barely move it, so I think it is time to get a massage. I start my lupron tomrrow. my dh got trained at the dr's office yesterday while he was there giving sperm samples. The nurse laughed when i told her i watched a lurpon shot youtube video for my training. :) as for the DH's sperm sample, there wasnt much in it...just 5-10 swimmers barely swimming, but thanks for all your well wishes. Hopefully the serbia docs will get some fresh ones when they do TESA.

PMA...and sticky dust to all!

Also, my prayers are with all you have lost loved ones on 9/11

Good Morning Ladies.... Justwanted to check in. Im sorry I slacked on personals, just that wow, we have so much going on here. U ladies are some busy bees. Well, I am at 2dpt. Hmmm... not yet feeling anything, just bloated and soar in tummy, and hungry, and peeing alot o yeah and (o)(o) sore ... but that is normal for the estrogen and POI I guess. Same experience as last time. The only diffeerence is, that I am not sore from an ER. SO it makes it big differnce as to how I am feeling. I really do hope it works this time. I am so scared that it wont again!!! PMA PMA PMA!!! I need some more PMA PMA PMA!!! Well, my clinic messed up once again... the nurse said it wasnt a big deal, but I am wondering if it is. WHen the nurse called the pharmacy to put the order in either she forgot to put in for Doxycillin or the pharmacy forgot to enter it. EIther way, it turns out I should have tooken Doxy to avoid infection from FET. So I did this FET with no DOXY and now I am worried if it will efect. Aaaarrrgh!!! I am so mad, but I am going to trust her and beleive it isnt a big deal. DOesnt Hvae anything to do with implantation.... any thoughts?

CHRIS.... TY hun for thinking of me. Wish u could be on this forum with me. SO how is everything with u? Yes, I am PUPO.... :P

Wolfe: I'm out of your clinic! I go the the Crystal Lake office and transfer at Highland Park. Do you see Jacobs? They wouldn't let me do a FET on Saturday. Lucky you. Good luck with your transfer.

kala0704: I would love to be a fly on the wall in that TSA meeting. "We'll we are carrying my DH's sperm...." :lol: The things we go through. Embarrassment goes out the window!
