[kala0704]

praying-good luck on Saturday! How exciting!!! GROW EMBIES GROW!!!

sancap-four totsicles!! Wooo hooo!!!

Sangria-i only wish i knew. i eat lots of icecream. i love it and i hear it helps improve fertility (as well as whole milk).

lisa-I do the exact same thing...to the exact day! i think "oh i will be six weeks and 4 days preggo then". Im glad im not the only wacko. Have fun in your new pants!

turtle-that is great!! I will let you know if we have to move there.

kiwi-im going to set 3 alarms too. When we left to go to serbia...i actually forgot to turn the alarm on! luckily dh woke up and checked the clock and it was a 1/2 hour after we were suppose to wake up.

[sancap14]

Sangria- I love your sense of humor. Let me know if you find a way to blow off steam without drinking or physical activity!! Everytime I get upset now I feel like I have to calm myself down because it's not good for my body or the little ones...it's ridiculous!

lisa10 I went shopping the other day and I found a pair of pants on sale that were a little big on me but I justified buying them by saying I would be preggers soon so they would fit eventually lol! Now when I try things on I think "will this look good on me when I'm preggers?" So you are definately not the only crazy one!!

wolffie Good to hear from you! GL with your u/s tomorrow. Everything is going to be ok, they will see a sac this time I just know it! Fingers crossed and prayers for you tonight!

malya324- I'm with everyone else! Beta looks good, there's a sac...what's the dealiyo. Tell that RE to go fly a kite!

kala0704- Trigger Time!!! Woooohooooooo! You'll have a BFP now in no time! Swimmer dust Kala and DH!

miyaya and turtle- I am not from New England but my DH is! Born in RI and spent summers in Cape Cod...LOVE IT! We try to get up there every summer for a Sox game!! Huge fans! They have spring traning here where we live in Ft. Myers which is one of the reasons why March is one of my favorite months.

prayin4BFP- AWESOME fert report!! 6 is a great number and yes, you only need 1 but it's nice to have a bunch to choose from too!!! Grow embies grow!!

Hey Katie! Still waiting on my call. I'm literally feeling like I could BEAT these people with their own arms. Why do they take so long to call? My DH doesn't even know if he will need to go to work or not tomorrow. I've about had it with this frickin' clinic. If they cancel my cycle, I'm finding a new RE/clinic. Patient service is just as important to me as success rates. UGH. Sorry guys, just venting!!!!

[karenthescorpio]

They just cancelled my cycle. Doctor says that my blood work shows premature ovulation or "escaped suppression"...which is why my progesterone is so high. Wouldn't get that many good quality of eggs he says. Wants to start me right away on a Lupron down cycle next week as long as I don't develop any cycsts. Ugh. I'm so bummed. All that money on meds for nothing. Not sure I wanna use them again!

[turtle0619]

karen that is really messed up! i am soooo sorry you are going through this! holy crap i'd be so mad and confused. actually i AM mad and confused for you! hang in there. fight for this cycle. then you can get the heck out of there with your pregger self!!! PMA PMA

katie i'm a pretty fast typer haha!
where do you live by the way??

sancap my endo sister and a red sox fan??? my long lost twin!!! we must get together and bring our babies to a sox game together! how awesome would that be??? they are all these shirts for preggo gals that say future red sox fan on the belly...i'm been waiting over 2 years to buy one! there are also some cute onesies too! gooooo SOX!

[shelbyrn0214]

Kala –Yay for trigger!!! Hoping for lots of eggies and sending you survive the thaw dust.

Lisa – No, I do the exact same thing about buying stuff! It drives me batty!

Malya – did they see a fetal pole also? Your betas look good…I don’t see what their issue is.

Wolffie – thank goodness you are having your u/s soon! I have been thinking about you a lot lately. Can’t wait to hear how pretty ‘they’ look tomorrow!

Karen – WOW! I’m so sorry you are going through this emotional saga. You are one tough cookie for not biting their heads totally off! Vent away!

Sancap – Awesome about the snowbabies!

Sangria – I hear ya girlie about the mental issues we face. The past two cycles I felt like I have been hit by a train after all was said and done! I have probably missed it in all the typing we do, but when is your beta?

Prayin – Stay with us now! I hope you start to feel better soon! I’m so sorry! Sounds good about the fert report!

Jaydentd – grow follies grow!

Tonyacheek & J&C – Good Luck tomorrow! Sending you sticky dust!!!

Akowens – I am praying you got good news today!

Michaelajt73 & Michele – Thinking positive thoughts for you tomorrow!

MLB – Where are you? I want to hear about your BFP!

Katie – Thank you so much for the doubling dust. I hope I am over 5000 on Monday so they will schedule my u/s!!!!

Turtle – Please don’t leave us!!!!! Pop in over there every now and then, but I will have to cry if you leave for good!

[sancap14]

turtle My fav one is the onesie that says "Born into it" and I can get a matching T that says "Married into it" lol how corney we would look! Oh yes, I've had many a daydreams of buying those for myself and not just my friends. I love the idea of getting together at Fenway!! It is a MUST now!

[karenthescorpio]

So the doctor just called back again (shocker, I know) and said that some of the other doctors in their practice want to retrieve my eggs...mostly to avoid OHSS. They aren't going to charge us for it...they will retrieve them, fertiize them and freeze anything they get that is good. I'm so overwhelmed. UGH. Something tells me someone there dropped the ball big time...why else would they not be charging me! So there is a glimmer of hope but not much for this cycle. So next month we'll have a possible FET if anything comes of this cycle. Wish us luck!

[Iamhopeful]

kala0704 - nice and drugged up is right and looks like I am holding in that pattern for now. Even with all the meds I only had 7 follicles today most around 10X10. Going tomorrow for the Intra Lipid IV even though I was never tested for any immune issues - I feel like I would do whatever they tell me to do. Then back on Friday for another US&BW, I am getting close, nervous and excited. I saw you are from Winter Park Colorado, I was on vacation last week in Vail...Aspen trees were amazing and we caught one night of snow, daytime was in the high 70's just a wonderful place (the mountains).

Lisa10 - I had to buy some new bottoms after I started the first round of IVF as all my pants/jeans got super tight. I think I gained 7 lbs during the first cycle. I now have "IVF clothes" in my closet...hoping to add Maternity Clothes next! While on vacation last week I found the best pair of jeans and they were pricey. I thought to my self with my luck I will get these and get pregnant.....then quickly justified the purchase by thinking if that is what it takes for me to get pregnant go for it! WAY cheaper than 1 box of IVF meds. Hope your doing well!

[turtle0619]

i have a question...who is ghost?? and why does everyone ask him/her questions? haha i have been wondering that forever!!

[Sangria]

shelbyrn0214 - In the unlikely event that I am not institutionalized before then, my beta will be tomorrow 10/7.

karenthescorpio - You are the undisputed champion of insane IVF stories. *Big Hug* I wanna call your clinic and yell at them a bit. It's the only thing I can think of that would blow off some steam without excessive physical activity or alcohol.

kala0704 - Hmmm. Ice cream you say? Well as much as it will torture as it sounds like it will be, I think I just may have to try that tonight.

Thanks ladies. I always feel better after coming here.

[jaydentd]

Hey girls, I'm so bloated and nauseous . I have 13 follies from 15mm to 18.5mm . Yesterday when I said they increased my dose, it was a mistake the nurse made. I was supposed to lower the bravelle to 1 and instead took 5. What should I expect? more follies or faster growth of the ones I have??? I'm a little scare now, since I tend to over stimulate.
Kala- YEY to trigger, one step closer girl. I hope everything goes smooth and they all fertilize
Sancap- Congrats on your 4 snow babies, that's so cool
Shelby- how you feeling girl? Thanks for your cheers
Karenthescorpio- Sorry about your cancelled cycle
Sending tons of PMA to all

[CT_Michele]

Turtle- Ghost is a IVF methods researcher who has been part of these boards for a long time, always helpful and willing to share knowledge, but never gives medical advice. He will never reveal where he is from or where he works. We are just thankful to have such a knowledgeable friendly person among us to answer our crazy neurotic emotional questions. Love ya Ghost!
