johannanita - WAHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yippee!!!!!! CONGRATS!!!!!!!! I wish I could do some cartwheels for you right now!!!!! You are now preggers, prego, mama, etc!!!!! So thrilled for you!

lady j - don't apologize for yourself. we are here for support no matter how great you're feeling or how low you're feeling. i hope your mood starts to lift soon. I used the first response early detection test this morning. When i say the line was faint it was SUPER FAINT! 7dpt is still early, that would technically only be about 12 days post ovulation if you had a 5 day transfer. Did you have a 3 day or a 5 day? Hon, you are still PUPO no matter what a HPT says and until your beta. Find the faith girl, it's still too early to take yourself out of the running! I think it was dtao who had a first beta of about 30 she is preggo and wouldn't have tested positive on a HPT before her beta. we're here for you and vent when you need to.

katie - YAY for stims!!!

rayofsunshine - LOL at your uterus looking like an alligator. The visual I have now is ammusing.

thinking of you all!

johannanita- WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO oh girl i am soooo happy for you!! my endo sister is gonna be a mommy!! :D :D :D :D :D
you give me sooo much hope for my next cycle!!

afm- i went and saw the RE yesterday and i am going to start my next cycle asap. its a new protocol called a microflare ivf. i still have to go on bcp as soon as af shows up, but its a different protocol for the meds. where i start a low dose of lupron and a high dose of gonal-f as soon as af comes after the bcp's and its only for 9 or so days. so even though i have to start all over with the bcp it will be a little shorter then last cycle would have been (i'll take anything at this point to speed this back up!!)
so now i'm waiting for AF and after over 2 years of not wanting it to come i am now praying for it to come early!!

i am off to atlanta for the weekend so i wont be around, but know that i am thinking of everyone and i cant wait to come back to 20 new pages filled with BFP'S!!!!

SHELBY- i will be waving when i fly over you tonight! i hope everythings ok!

destiny - thanks, but not a big yay for me yet (just a tiny little yay). the hpt was very faint and anything could still happen. BUT, BIG BIG BIG BIG YAY for Johannanita!

turtle - have a great trip to atlanta!

lady j - if you had your transfer 7 days ago with a blast you are 7dp5dt which would be 12 days past what would be considered ovulation in a typical pregnancy. yup, I'm gonna keep POAS! I'll probably take another tonight! You transfered one, right? Last time around I had a positive HPT 7dp5dt of 2 blasts. I had a high hcg since both had implanted but one stopped growing. chin up....you are still too early!

shelby - i am now officially worried about you. :(

Kala... I love everybook by Nicholas Sparks author of "The Notebook" and Jodi Picoult author of "My Sister's Keeper". Any of their books and you can't go wrong. Jodi's are pretty long so they may help fill your time better.

Wolffie... Your conception/ovulation day would be based on the age of your embies. I am putting in 6 day blasts on the 17th so my conception date would be the 11th. You can figure it out with some pregnancy charts online.

Well I'm not nuts yet from the Lupron. Give it time. Other then that just waiting here. It seems like such a long wait just to get started this time.

Congrats to the BFP's!!!

Woo hoo to Wolffie & Johannanita. :D

AFM, I saw some follies today, which makes me much happier than the last visit where I saw nothing. My clinic produces these colorful 3D pictures of your follies, so they look like bits of different colored play-doh stuck together. It was not what I was expecting to see, so I can't remember how big they are or anything. I'm just happy all those shots are working.

Wolffie – Did I miss something? Did you POAS? You cheater!!! LOL (I’ll be right there with ya!) Congrats on the faint line!

Sancap - I’d do just like you mentioned and make a checklist with the time and amounts that you are supposed to take. It works.

Lady J – Don’t you dare give up! It ain’t over yet! So many people lose symptoms or never have them in the first place. I still have faith, Sweetie. Please keep yours. We are here no matter how you feel and if you need to vent, etc. you go right ahead.

Neffi – grow follies grow!

Kala & Johannanita – Holy crap! I LOVE the Twilight series! I started reading it not too long ago and I’m on the last few chapters of Breaking Dawn right now! It’s amazing! I literally read every spare minute I have and go to bed after midnight only because I MAKE myself. I’ve never been as intrigued with ANY book series as I have been with this one! I’ll be @ the midnight showing of New Moon if they have one!

Johannanita – CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I’m so happy for you! BFP!!!!!
Turtle – have a wonderful trip and I will be waving too!

Katie – I, too, had a follicle that was very large when I started this cycle, but now I have over 20. Don’t give up! I’m praying for you!

Prayin – I have been trying to read what everyone is up to, but did I miss that you started stims?

Bei – GL tomorrow!

Kiwi – Hope you are feeling ok!

Moorebaby – PUPO!!!!! :D

I’m so sorry about not posting sooner :( ! I have been so busy and absorbed with open houses and soccer games and work. I didn’t realize I had been gone so long! Thanks to everyone for your concern :oops: !
I took my trigger last night @ 9:30. I go in for ER tomorrow @ 9:30. My E2 level @ last check was 2800 so I am hoping they get about 22-26 eggs. It hurts when I have to pee and when I have gas (sorry, TMI). I’m ready for some rest to get gear up for the 18 years that are going to really wear me out! On a good note, I finally got my computer back from repair and I can give Austin his back. He will be so happy! I’ve tried to update everyone’s status on the list so if I missed something please let me know. It’s good to be back!

Hi girlies -

I just got what I think is the best haircut of my life! That makes for a good day! Ok so I will be stuck doung my shots at 11pm. UGH! Because its 2hrs each way to my RE, they booked all my monitoring for 8:30 so if I'm lucky I'm done by 9 then 2 hrs home. Yuck! half the time I''m wiped out by then, but it beats ttrying to do them pulled over on the highway. :?

shelby -glad to hear all is well, you had us worried. GL with your ER tom! wishing you many healthy eggies!

johannanita -You have paved the BFP road for all of us poor responders! It gives me more hope for this try! Wishing you a H&H 9 months! Enjoy it girl, you deserve it! :D

shelby - so glad to hear that all is okay. I hope that you have a painless and successful ER tomorrow. I know you will have lots of beautiful eggies! Open houses? are you looking to move? Yes, I did cheat and POAS :oops: (about 4 times now). I took two yesterday which was 4dp5dt. I knew it was a long long shot and they were negative. This morning I did again and there was a VERY VERY faint line. I mean super faint. I tried again this afternoon b/c I htought I had to pee kind abad but then when I tried I only was able to pee on the stick for about 2.5 seconds so that test didn't show a line. I will try again tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

katie - YAY for an awesome haircut! I feel like great cuts are few and far between for me. ugh, 11pm! BUT, that would really suck to have to pull over and do it on the side of the road.

Hey Everyone,

My SNS went great today and my levels were where they are suppose to be. So I'll start stims tomorrow. Bring on the waves of hormones!!

miyaya, Katie, rayofsunshine, jaydentd and sancap - Just like Katie, I'm sooooooooooooo glad to have some cycle buddies on the same schedule. Last time, I didn't have anyone close either, so I'm glad we're in the same boat together.

katie - I think I posted something wrong earlier. Lord, I can barely keep myself organized. I did have my baseline today, and tomorrow (Friday) I'll start my stims. My Mom and Uncle are coming to stay tomorrow night, then my Mom, Uncle and Sister will be here the following week at various times. I've been nuts trying to keep who is coming to visit when and what I'm suppose to be doing with my shots. UGH!!!! LOL....I told my family that I might be crazy by the time they get here.

sancap - LOVE "The Notebook" too. If it's ever on TV, I just have to watch it. Wonderful movie.

statsgoddess - I'm so sorry that they may cancel your cycle. Maybe a few of those follies will make it, and you can continue. Let us know how tomorrow goes.

rayofsunshine - I just noticed that we're both in KS. I'm in the Kansas City area. Where are you?

wolffie - EXCELLENT!!!! I can't wait to hear that you have a darker line tomorrow. Awesome!! :D

johannanita - BFP - so excited for you!!!! :lol:

shelby - So glad to have you back up and running. GL with ER tomorrow.
