katie i spent the last 2 days cooking. and i'm not even hungry either. i just forced myself to eat, and now i feel more bloated then i did on stims haha yikes. luckily we are not football fans here so DH actually does most of the cooking...i like to bake and hang out on my message boards haha

ashley i'm thinking about you today. i hope they get a ton of follies. hope you are home resting and having dinner in bed! grow embies grow!!

olim thanks for your sweet words. thats crazy about the no beta..i would drive myself crazy second guessing everything. i say wait until tomorrow and then POAS. good luck....i have everything crossed for you!!! pma pma pma!! :)

me2009 woooohooo for a slight line!! its going to get darker i KNOW!! i'm gonna call it right now....your PREGNANT!! that second line must look amazing no matter how light it is!! sooo happy for you my dear! :D

ok so i took my trigger, and ive never taken one before so i'm not sure how to feel, but i feel wicked bloated (even before the turkey) and i'm constipated and my overies feel really big....i hope i didnt mess myself up by triggering without the ER. oh also i took an ovulation test yesterday thinking i would see the LH surge from the trigger show up, but i didnt see anything....of course they are really old strips...like from may, and they say they are only good for 30 days after opening. i just thought it was odd that it didnt show a surge after the trigger....oh well....

i'm heading out to go see the fantastic mr. fox tonight so it wont be mobbed with kiddies.
have a good night :D

thanks franny!! don't worry you will be with us soon enough! you're still young and have a great PMA! :)

i am praying that the trigger shot works for you! how awesome would that be! at least you get to have sexy time with your DH! Ive been told none until after 2ww... grrr...

oh whatever you do, if you take a HPT after your trigger it will be post. well you can test to make sure you did it correctly too :)

what's the worst it could be, you get BFP or there is more than one? :lol: :lol: :lol:

keep us posted on the trigger!!

:D

Hi everyone! Today has been a crazy day - hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. :D

jenice - I'm a little late, but CONGRATS! I'm hoping for a wonderful and smooth pregnancey for you!

claud662 - thanks for the info on Ganirelix. It makes sense that they prescribed it given my high e2 levels and number of follies.

teachermom - holy cow!!! can't wait to hear back on your u/s - sounds like you could get some really good news! I have said through this whole process that I would love to have twins. We have a DS and have said we would like three kids so we would be done. For some reason I always get a dirty look when I mention that to DH. :D

amysbabies - have you had your beta yet? wishing you luck.

me2009 - i'm pretty sure that a faint line is definitely positive. the times i got pregnant and had miscarriages the lines were pretty faint b/c i was so anxious and did the tests early.

olim78 - i know how much anxiety you must be feeling. did you do the test yet?

franny - on a non-IVF note, how was Fantastic Mr. Fox? It sounds great - curious to hear what you thought. and i'm hoping it helped get your mind off things at least temporarily.

sarah_ruth79 - your numbers sound good for day 4 - sounds like you could end up with a bunch in the end!

AFM - I got my fert report this morning and 18 of 24 fertilized!!! I was ecstatic - I really expected a lower number just based on what people (and the DR) have said. Even though we are doing a day 5 cell biopsy and freezing all viable embies, they will call Sunday (day 3) just to let us know how things are going. I am hoping that by the end of next week we will have the results of our PGD back and know where we stand for FET in January.

On another note, I am crazy sore after ER yesterday!!!! I've been popping Vicadin and finally had to take some Mirilax because I think constipation could be part of the issue (sorry - TMI) even though I'm not doing PIO. I didn't really expect to be down for the count all day today but luckily I took the day off so I've just been laying around the house.

For those I missed - I'm thinking of everyone. I guess the next few weeks will be pretty busy with all the procedures and betas!!! Good luck to everyone!!!

me2009- oh my goodness- triplets?? It would be so scary since I have pregnancy issues to go along with my infertility issues. I had preterm labor problems with DD and had to be monitored by a perinataltologist (I KNOW I didn't spell that one right!) every 2-3 weeks from my 2nd month. I just want to know! The suspense is killing me!

ashley- That is so so great! 18 out of 24 fertilized!! You've got a little army growing there!! I'm so happy for you.

amysbabies- I hope all is well with you. I'm waiting to hear your good news.

me2009: a faint line is awesome news! are you going to keep POAS to see if the line gets darker?

ashleyncsu77: wow 18/24 fertilized! that's fantastic! oh..yes you probably will have constipation... a mild stool softener is probably a good idea since you don't want to be straining after ET.

claude662: 20+ follies is great! I wish I could get 1/2 that..take it easy at work ..it sounds like a rewarding event but also very tiring.

teachermom: wowza!! what a beta!! either there are multiples in there or you got one darn healthy strong bean!!

Today I did my 2nd beta and I am down in the negatives... I'm sad but was also prepared for this since my initial beta was only 20.6. We're going to go for round 4 next month. I have faith that God will answer our prayers when the time is right. I'm hoping next month will be the right time.

Hello Ladies

Post by Eol »

Hi All- So, this is my first post. Am on BCPs now- was cancelled last time b.c. my E2 levels were not good. I was oversuppressed. No lupron this time- just full 28 days BCP- go to RE on Cycle Day 3. Am nervous about this round. Expect to start stims in one week. Anyone cycling same timing?

teachermom & jenice : thank you so much for your prayers... prayers are what keep me sane and able to move on :) I am just so thankful that we have insurance for these cycles..our other 2 cycles were OOP and it was a lot of $.

dodo928: don't give up .. I think it's kind of early still... I remember someone had posted a chart of what goes on after a 3dt and a 5dt day by day..it should be somewhere a few pages back .. it was very helpful.

me2009: isn't it wonderful to see even the faintest line when you POAS :) it is still a long journey ahead, but you've made it through another hurdle !

Eol: Welcome ~ I hope this cycle will be a smooth and successful one :)
