Lou - Ack! I was SO hoping for the other answer! I'm so sorry
A change in protocol will help. It can make all the difference. I wish this wasnt on a day that you dont even get a moment to yourself.

Lou- I’m so sorry to hear about your bfn :cry: . Do whatever you think you need. The ski trip sounds great and it can take your mind and body off some things and get ready for the next cycle. My thoughts and prayers are still with you. Don’t give up yet :D XOXOXO

Misocial- don’t give up in your mind yet. I have my fingers crossed that the nurse will call back with some positive news

Hms- hope you are resting well and getting ready for your ET.

Babyhopes and riley- Enjoy being PUPO :D :D :D

Franny- yeah for ER, try to rest and enjoy the drugs

Samgarkay- hope you are feeling better, how did your SnS go?

Claud662- can’t wait to hear what RE said is next

Camiwb- just like karen said, I keep hearing the no two cycle are alike. Like everyone says all you need is one!

Karen- I hope you are feeling better. The lupron gave me headaches off and on and I had insomnia a few nights, but eventually it got better when I started stims. I’m going to try the laying on the floor thing

Gi- have a great weekend!

Katie- how are you feeling? You are getting close to your stims. You are the best for keeping up with all us ladies. Wouldn't know what we would do without you!

i know I did'nt personally speak to everyone but gosh there are so many of us :D You are all in my thoughts and prayer for sure

AFM- just got the call back from my nurse about my SnS. RE said everything looks good. Follies are still growing. 6 on the left, one is already measuring 18 and 2 around 13mm. The others they didn’t measure. On the right there are like 5 , measuring around 7 -10. So they want to keep me stiming for a few more days. Will go back for SnS on Monday and hopefully all the others will have grown more. They said we might lose the 18mm one, but that’s okay because we are trying to grow the others, so it looks like my ER is tentative Wednesday 1/20.
Sending many prayers and baby dust to all. XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO

quick update then back to couch city !!!


Lou- I am so sorry. Sending you big (((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))). This whole thing just sucks.....

AFM- we implanted 2 eggs. Both are optimal grades with little to no fragmentation. (grades 8 and 9). Last time they were 3 and 4 celled. The RE seemed very positive and said that "twins were on the table" because of the eggs were so good. So different than last time. The rest were okay but had pitting so they said those do not freeze well. So I guess I produce bad eggs. The ET sucked. The full bladder thing is horrible. Just going to take it easy for the next couple of days and I already told my husband that we had to have chinese food tonight. I told him it was my IVF girls' tradition!!!! Thinking of you all!!!!!! xoxoxox

Lou - I'm so sorry about your BFN. I hope you take care of yourself. I'm a fan of taking time off between cycles to feel human again, but I'm sure you'll do what's best for you.

baby hopes - That sounds like a fantastic ET - I'm glad you had such beautiful embryos. Take it easy and enjoy your Chinese food! (I'm going to have to get Chinese next week too after all this talk. Except I don't know of a decent place around here!)

I talked to my RE - he's going to have me trigger tomorrow, and then I'll be ready for ER on Monday!

Well….I’m officially PUPO! But, truth be told, I’m not feeling very optimistic. They had to thaw 2 embryos to get 1 viable embryo---and it had 15% degeneration. They gave me a picture and it looked AWFUL. For my fresh transfer, we transferred 2 beautiful blasts. They were nice and expanded. The embryo today looked shriveled and dark. I know it ain’t over ‘till the fat lady sings, but……sigh. We have one more left in storage if this doesn’t work out. Time will tell! My Beta is on the 28th.

Lou71: How soooo very disappointing. I really hope you get a chance to pamper yourself and forget about IVF for a while. I’m thinking of you.

Merri_Baby_Dust: So AF comes tomorrow? That means you’re one step closer to that BFP!

claud662: How did your SnS go today?

baby hopes: My transfer buddy!! Twins on the table? Nice, nice! My Beta is on the 28th too!

Arabsrcool: Things sound good for your upcoming FET—woo-hoo!

hms: You’ll be PUPO tomorrow!!! YAY!! Let us know how it goes!

gi: Enjoy your weekend away---hope you have a wonderful time!

Bei: Thanks for thinking of me! Any sign of AF?

katie99: You’re so right about infertility being isolating. It’s amazing to me how much I’m still affected by it, even despite the fact that we’ve been blessed with our DS. The annoying questions/comments from family and friends still remain, they’re just different. Like, “Oh, IVF worked for you? Then you probably weren’t infertile, just stressed.” Or, “Oh, IVF worked for you? Then you’ll be able to conceive naturally now.” What is wrong with people?

dodo928: Hope you’re feeling better!

Moorebaby: Thanks for your encouragement—hope your b/w goes well tomorrow!

Riley baby maybe: Thinking of you! Good luck on Sunday—how many will you transfer?

Hi everyone -

I was thinking - how would you all feel about putting a first name on the list? Like how Franny is next to Turtle? You know for those that have a screen name thats not a name? I was just thinking maybe it would be an idea and keep the confusion down since we're such a big group? Let me know how you guys feel about it.

And for me - its the last weekend before getting started again - I think a glass of wine is a good idea. :wink: I'm feeling like I'm flying blind with ivm - why do I have to start dexamethasone on monday when stims arent til thursday? Seems strange to me.

hms -Hooray for 3 fert! Wishing you loads of dividing dust - oh, how much would I love to ET without a full bladder! Your RE rocks!

Paty -So happy to hear! keep going, girl - Grow those follies!

Beth -hee hee you're not kidding -"the uterus update" thats exactly how I felt last night - Yipppeeee for trigger tomorrow!

Roshaunda thanks! :oops: Believe me, I would never have survived 5 attempts without the support of this place and all you guys!
Wish I would have found this place for my first try - I was clueless!
Now please tell me those teens are going to be waiting on you hand and foot after your ET!

Babyhopes -Whoooo Hoooo! PUPO!! and you gotta love an RE that says things like twins are on the table! :D Now - back to couch city, with Chinese food, of course!

Misocial -Hope it went well today

rlk -YAY PUPO!!! :D embies change every day, dont they? Maybe this one was still recovering from the thaw? And theres no fat ladies singing around here...

Hi Ya'll.

lou71: Sorry to hear of your BFN. :( I say go with your gut and if it says to take a month off and going skiing, then go for it! Everything is for a reason even if we can't always see it, so again, follow your gut.

babyhopes and Rlk1: Woohoo to being PUPO!!!

hms: Thanks for the advice on my ER. I mentioned it to the RE today, but told her to do whatever it is she felt is best. With so much invested in this financially and and emotionaly, I don't want to risk this. She told me that it really is up to my body and she will let me know one way or another tomorrow. Either way I'll be triggering either tomorrow night or Sunday night! Woohoo!! Congrats on your 3 fertilized eggs. I say freeze one. The FET cycle is cheaper and since 1 is all it takes, go for it.

misocial: I am so sorry about your problems with this cycle. Waiting to hear how your B/W turned out. I am still doing the no cancel dance for you!!

katie: Enjoy the wine!

beth84: Happy Triggering!! I'm either right with you or right behind you, I'll know for sure tomorrow!

msmac: Sounds like you are moving right along with follie growth! I hope you are doing well. I am feeling better today though I finally have a bit of the bloated tummy feel but as for the follies and my mood I am much better!

AFM: Well...I made it through another day of SnS. You guys will never believe it when I say that I go back for my 6th and 7th ones this Saturday and Sunday. Has anyone else ever had to do these daily? :( Not much fun, but it will all be worth it in the end. I did ask my RE about doing my ER, Tuesday instead of Monday and she said that it really isn't up to her. I looked at her funny and she said it was up to my body, but she'd know for sure tomorrow. She also said she didn't want to overcook my eggs and that they don't like hardboiled ones there! LOL She is too funny. We were joking around about my husband missing her when we don't have to come in daily anymore. She asked him if he wanted a picture and he said yes. She laughed and asked if he had a cell phone that he could use. Of course who doesn't. She said she'd pose but it had to be his main screen! Anyways she pulled the other doc in the room into it, and me, and then her MA. It was a cute shot of all of us. He made them all bust up when he looked at it and said," When people want to know who you all are, I can say it's everyone that's been in my wife!" Too funny! Need some humor with all these visits!! So for now, its another round of shots tonight and then off for another SnS in the morning! Keep you posted on what happens.

rlki-- I came back to see how you did!!!! Yeah to being PUPO!!!! If the embryo did not have chance they never would have implanted it. So stay positive!!!! ... Now go relax and have positive thoughts my 2 week wait sister!!!


Beth- Yeah to trigger!!!!! GL on monday

HMS-Listen I 'm completely jealous about the whole empty bladder thing. I mean my bladder was so full that after implantation they had me pee b/c that was how full I was. During the implant the RE and nurse both commented on my full bladder..... GL tomorrow Keep us updated..

rileybabymaybe- GL tomorrow.. what time are you going in??? Keep us updated!!

Katie- I hope that is a big and good glass of wine???? enjoy you deserve it!!! The name thing sounds great to me......

Paty, msmac, and misocial- grow follies grow. Paty how is the discomfort?

sagarkay- OK @ 1st I was going to tell you that I think your RE gets off on giving you your SnS till you told us your story...... now I love her!!!!!!!! I think she is just very very very cautious!!

Sorry it took me so long to post, had to pull myself together. I have been cancelled. My 10 on each side were to small for day 7 and E2 was 175. The nurse said the "doctor did not feel good about this cycle". Why is it when everything is fine they call you at 1200, but when its sucky info they call at 350 the doctor is gone, and the office closes at 400????? I had to leave work. I know its my first cycle and some of you have been trying for a long time, so I am sorry if I sound sad and depressed, but I am. Its hard to explain, its like I feel as though I lost something.

Plan ....Consult RE next week. discuss new plan. No lupron. Wait for AF Due somewhere around 4th unless they BCP me to fit thier timeline. Be normal and not cry ay the drop of a hat.

Immediate plans include mexican food crown and coke chocolate ice cream and tight hugs from my wife when I start to feel blue.

My very best wishes to all. I think first names are a great idea.
Marci

lou I am so sorry for your bad news, Nothing anyone says is gonna make you feel better but with some hugs and self TLC, maybe a relaxing vacation, you can begin to make your plan for the next cycle. If you deciede to try again next month, see you on the other side... Here a toast to sucess and no more tears. :lol: :lol: :lol:

katy and allThanks for all your support, it meant more than you could know. I am not giving up, just need to restock my PMA.
