hi everyone!
so i'm here...waiting still...i did not POAS again today...yet! i know, i know...i totally shouldnt. and of course today is the day DH has ski club and wont be home till 9pm! how will i survive on my own that long?
so i went to acupuncture last night, but i was just so nervous that i couldnt really even relax to enjoy it. i went out after to get some bday gifts for my niece and tried to keep my mind off of things...yeah right. when i got home i started having those crazy cramp feelings again..only this time i was SURE it was AF. they seem to happen right around the time my PIO shot is due....i wonder if it has anything to do with it? i still have no spotting, but i keep feeling like AF is here like every 20 minutes. its soooo annoying and scary each time i run to the bathroom to check.
so tuesday night i had this crazy vivid dream that i took a HPT and it was soooo very positive. i was so happy in my dream i was laughing and crying and jumping up and down. it felt sooo real that when i woke up i thought i has already POAS and it was true. so when i did POAS and it was negative it hurt that much more. it was a slap back to reality.
i had a really hard time sleeping last night...i was up every 2 hours running to the bathroom thinking AF was here. when i did fall back to sleep i had another very vivid dream that i went to the bathroom and my undies were covered in dark red blood. i was so upset. i knew it was the end for poopo. when i woke up i again thought that it really already happened and i had gotten AF, but when i ran to the bathroom...nothing! ahhhhhhh WTH is my mind doing to me?? i think i need to be locked up. i had no idea how hard this would be. i'm so used to being disappointed every month for over 2 and a half years, i thought i wouldnt be this crazy feeling.
i cant imagine tonight or tomorrow will be any easier to get through. oh and i am driving to NY tomorrow night for the weekend. i am going to be the happiest person or the sadest person at this birthday party this weekend. WTH am i thinking going to hang out with babies all weekend? but i cant miss my nieces 1st birthday party!
anyway....well that was just a huge rambling crazy rant...sorry for those who actually read all of that haha

katie i know i shouldve listened to you about those evil sticks. i just couldnt help it after that dream, and i just had to get it out of my system. i'm still hopeful...crazy, but hopeful! sooooo what is up with this frankencycle?? mr. dr. with his love for calenders and timelines must be going crazy over you!! i cant believe you are still stimming...you were supposed to have your ER today!! and what about DH? does he still do his thing tomorrow? i'm so confused. i'm soo happy you have 7 follies though! thats awesome!! i know ive been in my lil crazy land over here, but know that i am always thinking of you and wait on pins and needles to hear your updates. how are the daily AM drives going? i'm sure you are sick of them already!! grow follies grow!! :D

riley OMG OMG OMG!!! i am just so happy for you!!! i cant believe your hpt story. how very very evil!! i'm so glad it was wrong for you!!! you now have to change your SN to riley baby really!!! haha your PREGNANT!!! how do you feel? did you have any symptoms during the 2WW??

ashley how are you feeling? did you POAS again? i totally wouldnt be able to wait that much longer for the BETA. did you call your re? take good care of that lil baby mama!! :D :D

laurie i am just heartbroken for you and DH! i am sooo sorry. even when we make it to ET the odd's arent in our favor. i know for sure it is not your fault. please dont blame yourself. i am thinking of you and praying your heart heals, and you can move on! ((((hugs))))

bei when my first cycle was canceled AF didnt show up forever! i called my RE and they also had me come in for B/W to see if i was pregnant...i laughed hard about that one..yeah right. well they ended up putting my on provea to bring on AF...it made my hair start to fall out in clumps!! like thats what i need on top of all this...going bald! and then it still took 10 days after taking the meds to get AF....longest wait ever!! hang in there!!

ester did you have your ET today?? i cant believe i didnt wish you luck before...i'm so sorry. my attention span is shot! so are you PUPO now???? wooohoooo stick embies stick!! ((((((hugs))))))

claud yay for having your FET date!! soooo exciting!! and i'm so glad it's happening on a good day for you, and with your own RE!!! are you taking time off from work?

Still waiting.... actually I'm so worked up that I've been pacing while staring, glaring at the phone. Ring already! Of course now I just wish RE never came up with this cockamamie (sp?) idea - IVM GRRR! IVm is meant for PCOC patients that have AFC's of 20 and higher! What was I thinking? Why didnt I argue with him? I should have. I just get that nursing school feeling, I can hear my old instructor saying "never argue with a DR" AARRRGGHHHH
So there goes my best AFC ever. I dont know where they go, I believe they just stop growing. You would think that after all my cycles I could handle this kind of stress better, but I swear it gets instead. Sorry, now i'm just ranting - i'll update when he finally calls :roll:

Hey - not much time but wanted to answer Kim and Franny's questions. I did POAS again yesterday and this morning. My mom had a good idea and bought what we think are tests that detect starting at HCG of 100. That way we might know if my HCG is already higher than that. Yesterday I felt TERRIBLE with a headache and nausea. I have a history of migraines and couldn't take my normal medication. After waiting forever the doctor finally called me in something and I am feeling somewhat better today.

Long story short, all of the tests have been positive with this morning being pretty dark. I'm still super cautious because even with my second miscarriage we saw a heartbeat and then I miscarried at 9 weeks. We now know that it was the genetic abnormality but I am still a little gun shy.

When the nurse called yesterday about the headache I woosed out and didn't tell her about the HPT. I just didn't want to get a lecture. So I'm holding out for Monday.

I promise, promise I will do personals later but I'm at work now and don't have a lot of time.

Katie - OMG I know this must be sooo frustrating 4 u. You know I have BTDT with my cycles. Once cycle on day 12 and only 1 follicle. Which is not like me, I was so frustrated and figured I would get canceled again. Then the nurse called and said they would keep me stimming for the weekend. So that weekend I went out drinking on Friday and Sat. Figured the cycle was a lost cause and I needed to release some stress. Actually hindsight we should have canceled because it turned out to be the worst cycle. O'well. Can they change it to a regular IVF cycle? You could still have a shot of 4 good eggs with that. I wish we could just turn on the magic wand and have super duper cycles like some of these young gals. FX'd for you, hope your RE comes up with a good plan to change things around.

Katie-SOOO frustrated for you!!! I really hope this Doctor knows what he is doing and gets his act together. I thought the purpose of IVM was so that he can mature them on his own?!?!?! I really am keeping everything crossed that this works for you and these guys are fighters.

Franny-I was thinking of you all day and I'm sorry your dreams are playing tricks on you :evil: I would try and hold out to POAS just because they are so unreliable and I don't want you to get down on POOPO!!! Hoping your weekend at your neice's birthday party is kicked off with a BFP!!! xoxo I'm in a bind with taking off from work because I teach Wednesday and Thursday Nights and it's hard for me to not be there. My clinic doesn't belive in bedrest (just light activity) so I will have to wait and see what I'm going to do!!!

Ashley-CONGRATS again!!! Yah for seeing darkening line!! I can't wait to hear your number on Monday and I hear you about your sister!! IT IS YOUR TURN!!

Jacqueline-Can't wait to hear your beta number today!! hope the OHSS symptoms have gone away and I'm sooo excited for you!!!

Laurie-Thoughts to you and DH. I hope that you are able to go right into a FET and that you have a follow up apt really soon.

Ester-Good luck today!! I hope your two fighters did amazing and are now in their mommy!! keep us updated

Heather-I'm doing the no AF chant for you!!! I am hoping that Monday will be YOUR day and try and have a relaxing weekend!!

Karenthescorpio-Hope your next SnS goes well and it seems as though we are close in schedule. GO JERSEY GIRLS!!!

Ronda-yah for twinges!!! hope you get the BFP we are all hoping and cheering for you!!

Cheerleader Cami-loved your last post!! You whipped us all in shape!!! Will you POAS when you are in Florda or just relax on the beach?!?!

Kim-We will be transferring two if they look "perfect" but if there are any fragmentations or lost cells then we will transfer 3!!! I am still keeping my fingers crossed for you hon!

Sonya-I'm sure your super busy with DH in town, but I want to hear your update!! When is the ER?? Thinking of you...

AFM...just counting down until Wednesday!! Start POI shots Sunday night which I never look forward to!!! Going for Acupuncture tomorrow and trying to eat lots of pineapple!!!! xoxo

Franny: I can only imagine how you’re feeling right now hun. That wait seems like forever, but many ladies have told me on here, finding things to do to occupy your time can be a big help. I know it’s easier said than done but we can only try right? I have been spending time with my friend during the day so I’m not home by myself with my thoughts all day. It has helped me…best wishes.
Rileybabymaybe: YAAAAAAAAYYYY congrats to you and dh! I’m so happy for you. Hoping to see more of these posts soon!
Cami: My first injection was on Tuesday, it went well, yesterday was a little hard but I’ve vowed to do this so I’m going to get er’ done!!!!! LOL, thanks for checking on me. U/S is on Monday, keep everything crossed! Oh and thanks for that slap slap….I needed to come back…I was heading to the other side!!! Need all the PMA I can get!
GI: Hoping that you start to feel better soon!
SDC: I’m soooo sorry, my thoughts and prayers are with you. ((((((Hugs to you )))))))
Molly: Welcome! This is a great site with so much information and support, jump right in!
Katie: WTH!!! I know it’s frustrating!! Can they get it together or what!!!! Let us know what happens. Try to stay positive, we’re with ya!
Just a few personals, but please ladies know I’m thinking of all of you! Remember PMA all around..:-)

Hi, Everyone!!! Just checking in on you all really quickly from FL to see how everyone is feeling today!!! You know, I think I've heard the nickname Major Cami around my house before, too--but not in a loving way.... :D . First of all--Laurie--I am so sorry about your result. It just really sucks and there's no two ways about it. You and DH take care of each other and just think about yourselves for awhile. So sorry. Katie--WTF? I just don't understand and I'm so sorry that this didn't go the way it was supposed to.

This is just a really quick hit--I scanned the posts really fast so I will definitely not get to everyone--Jacqueline & Ashley--Hooray and Congrats again!!!!!! Franny--hang in there!!!!! Latrell--good work with the needles!!!! Claudia--yeah for PIO (who ever thought we'd say that?!). Gi--yay for no more stomach bug!!!!

Ok, I know I missed a ton of you--just wanted to get a few out there. I will check back in later--but I'm thinking of you all!!!! XOXO Cami

Well, he decided to trigger me anyway. A few days ago I would have been excited at that, but now that we're down to 4 follies - now I'm not sure what to think. I'm trying my hardest to keep up some PMA, but realistically
He should have switched me to ivf, where 4 isnt a bad amount. I'm just hoping & praying that this works out, I mean maybe the embryologist can coax them to mature? I like the embryologist, she has 20 yrs experience with ivf, but I'm only the 3rd time she will have tried ivm. Umm Yeah, thats encouraging, isnt it? So I guess then at ER on Saturday, I'll only have a vague idea of how many eggs we have - if any.
I hate this feeling. Why did I agree to try this?

I'm sorry guys, I'll have to do personals later, i have a pity party to attend

Hi girls~I cannot seem to concentrate here at work. All I keep thinking about is eggs, babies, triggers.....HPTs....ahhh....its consuming me!

Katie~ Ugh! So frustrating. I hope your RE gets back to you soon and makes sense of all this for you! Hang in there!

Ashley~ how many dpt are you? A cauutious congrats to you! I hope your HPTs are right! Good thinking on the 100 hcg!

Turtle! Wow....you have some great will power. Good for you for not POAS! I think your dream just might come true! I hope so. Try and have fun in NY!

Lou~ I am with ya. When I was preggars with DS, I did a HPT the morning of my beta...it was negative and I used a super sensitive HPT. I was shocked when my RE called and told us the news....ya just never know. Even science is wacky sometimes.

To all you ladies in 2ww, having ER and/or ET....I am thinking of you and wish you all the best. I will admit I have such a hard time keeping up with your girls. Please know that if I miss you, its not intentional....just rushing to jump in when I can.

AFM, I am waiting to hear the results of my SNS this AM. The sonographer I had this AM, I felt she rushed and may have missed stuff. I guess I have to actually wait for my instructions. I just do not know how to feel about this cycle...

on an unrelated note, how do I had a signature to my posts????
