Supergenius I am so sorry to hear about your beta! Hugs to you. Go out and enjoy yourself and keep us posted on what is next!
Syvanna congrats on the retrieval.You and I were very close in our cycles till my last u/s. My retrival was supossed to be today as well but now maybe thursday if I don't get cancelled. Lead the way for me ok? From listening to everyone on here 12 is actually a very good number but believe me I know exactly how it feels to be dissappointed when comparing things to your last cycle and I hope that you will be able to put that aside and just keep up the PMA for the ones you have. What day transfer will you be doing?
Me2009 congrats on the u/s! That is so exciting!
I have labs in the morning but u/s isn't until the afternoon so I will let you know how it goes tomorrow.

Katie99 I hope everything goes well for you tomorrow at your u/s.
Cheeky I am sorry about the bleeding. Is your RE going to do another beta?
Syanna 12 eggs are great, you only need one to work.
Sarah Ruth ET is very soon, then you will be PUPO, the journey on IVF is almost over. Congrats.
me2009 Congrats, are you happy there are one or did you want twins?
LorrieS Did you take another hpt?

AFM: ET was done today and it went very fast, like a pap. I had to lay down 15 minutes before I left, then bedrest for one day. Me and my dh made up last night, he keep saying sorry over and over again. (He knew he was wrong, teehee)
I have two eggs in me, it's very neat, no matter what happens. I'm pregnant right now and I am going to milk it for what it work. Yeah me, poor dh.
Re said out of the 6, only 3 continued to grow, in a way I was a little happy because how can you pick two babies out of six, what happens if I pick a future killer and leave the baby who cure diseases? Tomorrow they will let me know if the one that is left continue growing.

Hi ladies - this board is hopping as usual. I have had a rough few days (with some good news mixed in) so I'll give an update and then hopefully do more personals later this week. I have been reading everyday, just haven't had time to write anything.

Saturday night I got a terrible migraine. I was really surprised because I have been off all meds since last week. Then last night I realized why - AF came to visit! It was earlier than I expected since my ER was less than two weeks ago. But I am very excited because this means I can start my FET protocol earlier.

So this morning I go to work feeling fine and around 9:00 here comes another raging headache but this time it makes me feel like I'm going to puke. I stayed at work as long as I could and finally had to walk out of a meeting and go home. Two migraine pills later and I feel a lot better. I swear these up and down hormones are driving me crazy!

But on a positive note, I wasn't expecting to find out about our PGD results until the end of this week but when my RE nurse called to let me know about my next protocol she gave me the news that we have 3 "good" embies!!!! This is great b/c I had convinced myself that we weren't going to have any.

So I start BCP tomorrow and go in next week for an u/s just to make sure my ovaries are back to normal. Pending that, I will start Lupron on the 21st , start Estrogen patches at some point and probably do FET in mid-January.

So here I go on the next part of this rollercoaster ride.......

ashleyncsu77: congrats to your 3 embies and your early AF! Ready to go to the FET cycle! yay!

Skylar: Maybe these are the 3 that are going to cure the world!

justwannabamom: my donor at 23 only have 12 eggs retrieved. I know at her age, 12 is not good. I don't see your age here but I know you're good.

Supergenius: Enjoy your sushi and saki night!

katie99: The donor matching process may be a little different than other clinic. Our clinic let us choose the one we like. As long as we choose one and the donor is available immediately, we can start the protocol as soon as we can be. There're not many young and proven donors and many first time or older donors that we don't want to take the chance. One of the young proven donor asks for a high compensation fee. The couple that's holding her mentioned that they might not be able to afford her. They will have an appointment tomorrow and at that time, they might be able to decide whether they still want to keep her or not. The clinic are trying to talk us into share donor cycle but I know this donor would not work. She had 9 embies in the last 2 cycles. I heard clinic that allow donors to have share cycle only if they have more than 10 embies. We'd rather pay for one donor cycle unless we don't have the choice. We had a bad consequence on our last young proven donor. We understand that AFC cannot change and the range can be varied. Our RE told us that our donor had 6 blasts in her first donation but only 1 early blast in our cycle.

hi my girls!

ashley that is FANTASTIC news!!! wooohooo! i know it feels like you just got off the rollercoaster, and you just bought another ticket to ride again!! man those migraines sound awful. i hope they stop. i'm sure the stress isnt helping either. i'm soooo glad i'm not doing lupron at all this next cycle because i got the worst headaches of my life on it. i'll see ya over in the jan. boards, but i just cant get myself to head over there just yet. are you going to put all 3 back??

supergenius i'm so sorry sweetie. man i thought this was your time with all those super embies. go enjoy your sushi and have a few drinks! do you think you will try again soon? you have all the right ingredients to make a beautiful baby...it just takes afew times sometimes. hang in there. i am thinking of you!

skylar yay for ER! are you going to put all 3 back? i'm glad you and DH made up. i HATE when people come over and the house is messy. in the back of my mind i always think how messy it will be one day when the triplets are running around and toys are everywhere. i dont think i will care. haha i always say triplets in my dreams because it freaks out DH and it makes me laugh. :lol:

syanna wooohoooo for 12!!!! 12 is amazing! last time i saw RE the day i was canceled she said she wont expect me to ever have amazing follie numbers, and she would be happy to get 5 out of me. so please be happy with that number! i hope you are resting and getting ready to be PUPO!! did you see our favorite RE dr. hill? if you see him tell him theres a girl in NH that wants to punch him! haha

justwannabe PMA PMA PMA girl!! you will NOT be canceled!!!

me2009 wooohooo for a lil sac!! sooooo cool! did you cry? i woulda cried like a lil girl, but thats just me haha :D

cheeky i am still thinking of you!! ((((((((((((())))))))))))))))

katie i am so happy for your cycle going so well! yay for twinges!! and on lower meds taboot! this is it!! pma pma! i cant wait to hear your vegas numbers tomorrow!! i say we roll a 12 mama!!! i dont start acupuncture until thursday...DH is going with me and i'm so excited to try something new together. if anything i think it will help is stay calm and have something we can do together that may be helping us instead of me feeling like its all on me ya know? it cant hurt!! i think since we live in NH and get like a million feet of snow each year piper is over it haha plus i think the cold is starting to hurt his old bones :( ive been giving him fishoil, but its becoming a very expensive task, plus his already bad breath isnt getting better from it haha
enjoy your long drive tomorrow! they should give you gas and toll $$

afm we stared having work done on our basement today...we had some water damage from a burst pipe a few months ago, and are finally getting it fixed....new ceilings, new carpet, new baseboards and new paint! woohoo i'm excited because our insurance is paying for it, and i always hated the colors down there when we moved in, but never had time or $$ to do anything about it.
so in between the banging and the dog barking i called the RE. she said that it was fine to get AF early, and it was just the meds screwing with me. on the down side it i have no idea if i will go back to normal next cycle so its just a wait and see type thing. if it comes at the normal time it will be while we are away in NY, and she said i will have to come in for u/s and b/w cycle day 2. well if i'm not home i cant do it so i'll have to wait another cycle! we are going to play it by ear and hope it comes a few days late so we will be home, or we might just cut our vaca a few days short and come home. i'm not going to think about it. i want to enjoy my vacation and not be stressed out. everyone pray that i dont get AF until jan. 3rd ok?? haha
i am still going to have them order my meds for me this week so i will have them waiting for me when i get home.
seriously i thought this was gonna be my month off from thinking about these things....it never ends!

Franny- HI! I’ve missed you! So glad you had a nice visit with your parents. Your acupuncture deal sounds great too! I know a lot of people do it, but I just don’t know if I could deal with all those needles. I know, sounds crazy given I’ve been through IVF!! Ha ha ha. I cannot believe AF showed up early- after you waited so long last time!!!

Jenice- I’m so sorry you are leaving us. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

2010, Supergenius and Kerribell- I’m so sorry to hear your news. I’m praying for you all.

Syanna- 12 is a great number! Can’t wait to hear the fert report tomorrow.

Skylark- You’re PUPO!! Congratulations!!

I know I missed a bunch of people- I'm sorry- You're all in my thoughts and prayers!

AFM- As you all know, we've been waiting in limbo to find out how many of our little beans made it. I went to the perinatal specialist today and I got to see my little beans' heartbeats- ALL THREE OF THEM!!!! TRIPLETS!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: We're nervous about the pregnancy since I am high risk to begin with. But we are happy and hoping for 3 healthy babies. :D :D :D

Take it easy and fingers crossed you will not have any trouble delivering them all in 9 months!! Will u have to make room for them all? I think I would freak if I had that many. What does DH think?

teachermom-OMG!!!! TRIPLETS!!!! That's amazing :lol:

supergenius-sorry to hear about your beta number but hopefully you will jump back into the swing of things after AF and PMA.

Lorrie-the line is definitely getting darker! Can't wait to hear your beta numbers tomorrow :P

syanna-12 is fantastic!! They might do a 2 day transfer? I hope your fert report tomorrow is 12 for 12!!

ashley-that is great that your FET got bumped up and that you have 3 good embies!! GL girl

me2009-that must have been such a great moment to see the sac!! Best of luck for your next one and who knows if the "bloodsac" may actually be a twin?!?!


skylar-congrats on the ET! You are now PUPO and now you can officially go crazy in the 2ww with me!!

Katie-GL tomorrow morning and I can't wait to hear what the u/s says!! Roll those big numbers :lol:

Sorry if I missed anyone.

AFM...I had acupuncture today since I am supposed to be implanting today and keeping my fingers crossed that this is working. Heating the bum up right now and getting ready for my POI shot (which my DH has become a pro at Thank G-d!) FIL is doing fantastic!!

Unfortunately its not good news for me my 3 beta was #220 dropped dramatically from 860. Gosh I was devastated and I've cried an ocean full now i feel alot better I really thought this was my time but obviously not meant to be again geez it really sucks. Once again thankyou all. :cry:

Now on a positive note I don't want to see anymore bfn's on this thread we have had too many bring on the BFP Girls I am routing for you all to change this thread around Heaps of pma to you all and I look forward to hearing alot of bfp's.

Yay teachermom!!!!! Triplets!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My best friend had natural triplets at age 20 (was not trying to get pregnant and is a single parent). She had done a great job all alone and I know you, dh and dd will do great with the wonderful addition x3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They are not as difficult as everyone makes them out to be. She had an identical pair (boys) and one fraternal (girl) - they live on my block and I still cannot tell the boys apart!!! I have seen them almost everyday of their lives for 13 years! All I can say from what I remember - feedings are very creative and fun!

Get ready for plenty of bedrest and a beautiful delivery in June!
