At work so no time for personals at the moment, though there is a ton I want to say. Anyhoo, I went in for my beta this am and now just waiting for the phone call. I did not POAS this am, but somehow after the other BFP's I don't think that will matter any. KUP!

moorebaby - They were closer to the blast level, so maybe that's why it's so early. My first fresh cycle was a 3dt, so anything shorter than 2 weeks seems pretty quick to me. And I agree!!! The laying around is WONDERFUL!! I could definitely get use to it too.

blessedmama - GL on Wednesday with ER!!!!

Claudia when they were doing my stims they measured my lining and it went up and down, up to three mm depending on the doctor - I questioned it and the doctor said it was just the angle of the probe, that it couldn't decrease..... I'd check on that!!!

Lou glad to hear af is slowing and that you are skiing this weekend. Take advantage of it and INDULGE. Too bad you still have AF... I know what I would be doing if DH and I weren't banned from BD'ing until we get a heartbeat (if pregnant). It's the first time I was thankful he's gone so much.. hehe

Sam waiting waiting waiting but already know the answer!! Post up, buttercup!

Miyaya I have you in my prayers and am hoping for the very best. :) :)

To the BFP girls - I'm green with envy! I totally admit it. The next ten days (like I'll make it two weeks) will be agonizing....

Beth, how are you doing? Any more news? Have you poas again?

Ronda I've seen things pick up at the last moment, time after time... just hang in there - understand how you are preparing yourself, though... (hugs)

Riley sorry about the OHSS... I'm terrified of getting it with 22 eggs retrieved... when did you first notice signs? Glad you are feeling better now.. can't wait to see the ultrasound results!! oh and Happy Anniversary!!

Can't do more personals right now I am bolting out the dor to get things done before ET tommorrow... Three weeks away from home is a lot of luggage and I didn't even shop much... I want to send one huge suitcase home on greyhound so I am not lifting it...

AFM... we have three little embies that are only grade 4 and most likely won't be using unless they smarten up their act by tomorrow...

There are eight that have progressed fully into morulas and four that are just nearly there (lab expects them to progress today).

Of the twelve remaining embryos, six are grade 2 and six are grade 3. I hope they make it to five day blasts....

Hi ladies-

Today has been an emotional roller coaster. My RE called around 10:30 and they cancelled my cycle :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: She said that thin lining was the number 1 reason FET's get cancelled and while it's not so common to go from a 7 to a 4 in a week, they are going to take a much more aggressive approach next time.

The GOOD news is that I am going right back on BCP's and Lurpon tonight and then in 4 days I go off BCP's and then go in Monday, February 8th for my day 3 SnS. The silver lining is that I will only be delayed 3 weeks and can stay with this thread because my FET will be at the end of Febuary!! I am getting my exact schedule later this day.

They will be putting me on estrace, vivelle patches, and vaginal estrogen and monitor me a lot more than they did this time and she said that even once I get to my ideal lining they will keep me on Estrogen a few more days to make sure. I still don't fully comprehend why it decreased so much, but after my pity party this morning I am looking forward and trying not to dwell on the negativity.

Love to all you girls and I promise when my head clears I will do more personals and give Katie my new updated schedule :D

Claudia - I am so sorry that you have been through such a rollercoaster in the past week. I mean, to think that you are going in this week for FET and then only a couple days before to get cancelled. Like everyone else, I can't understand why your lining would suddenly decrease like that especially without seeing any outside signs like spotting or AF.

But.....it sounds like you are getting right back on track to go again. I think keeping you on estrogen after your lining is optimal is a good idea. My RE has me staying on the Vivelle patches and PIO until eight weeks of pregnancy (assuming I get that far). They even had me on additional Crinone gel progesterone from transfer up until my beta yesterday. Who knows if all of the extra meds helped me - I know we are all different - but being extra careful can't hurt. Hopefully being monitored more closely will help you as well.

I wish you lots of luck in the upcoming weeks!!!

Good Afternoon Ladies,
I have been MIA form the board for a few days and SOOOO much has happened. I finally broke down and put in a call to the RE's nurse, waiting for a call back. I thought I was supposed to have AF show within 2 weeks of stopping stims... 2 weeks ended on the 29th. I did very lightly spot for 4 days last week, did not call RE though was waiting for full on AF, which has still not come. Now I am getting worried, what if that was it and I missed it, did I just set myself back a month? The spotting was nothing especially compared to my usual AF. If my "normal " AF was 5-14 of last month spot to finish, then wouldnt it stand to reason that I am just not due yet? UUURRRGGGG :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: :twisted: :evil: Anyone out there have any ideas, I have become obsessed with AF or lack there of. I feel like I am doing nothing, I can only recount needles and restack meds in the fridge so many times. I feel like I dont even know my own body anymore. I know I know blah blah blah.....

Katie Sending you the biggest hug ever, I am so happy for you.

BFP Congrats to the 2 we have, time to put more on the board!!!!!
GO TEAM GO !!!!!

I promise on my honor, to due my duty, to message board and friends, to be a better poster and slack so much. Isnt that how the oath goes????

Drum roll please.......52.7! So it's a definate BFP for me!!! Looks like one which is good as while I'd love twins, I really only wanted a singleton pregnancy!! My levels were just where they like them at this point and I go for a repeat on Thurday. They will schedule my US after that for 1 1/2- 2 weeks! In the meantime here is hoping that my numbers double!

I will do personals tonight as I am pulling another double today!

Sonya - I felt the OHSS the same night (Tuesday) as my ER. I had sharp pains on my sides and couldn't lay on my back or right side. I also had a horrible time trying to breathe. It got to the point where I had 'waves' of pain that were unbearable and then Sunday afternoon (day of ET), I was great. Then came the next Friday when the pain started again. I was drained last Tuesday and am very close to feeling ike myself again today (12 days later). Still have a hard time breathing if I bend over, but it is much better. So, I would assume that you would have already felt something if you were going to have issues. That's crazy because your E2 was so high! Good luck...let me know if you have any other questions and I can write another book! :roll: :lol:

Samantha - YAY honey BFP!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
Get your BFP then go work a double? thats just not right :roll:
I'm so happy for you!!!!!! Yipppeeeeeeee!

Claudia -ugh for the delay - but hooray for a giving it a better chance!! Its just 3 weeks and closer monitoring can only be a good thing!
Its sounds like your clinic is going to be extra careful with your lining now

Tracy -Good luck with your ER tomorrow! get lots of eggies!

Ronda -I'm sending you loads of PMA, I'm still holding on for you
But I do understand how you're half planning another try, Bless your RE for that little negotiation though! I hope that tomorrow brings you an unexpected surprise. - xoxo

Kim -I've missed you! I hope that you're feeling a little better now.
Now Darth was from the dark side, right? So Luke HAS to be more positive
I hope you'll stick around with us crazy ladies for a while :D "He's just not that into you" was a cute movie. I might be all sucked into trash though, I got the whole series of Nip/tuck for christmas that I've been waiting to lounge and melt my brain with! I know its trashy but I"ve loved it from the beginning.

Jacqueline -Oh, honey thats a wonderful gesture! I'm a big advocate for donating embies right about now! You would help some couple beyond measure! Bravo for such a kind, selfless gift! :D :D :D
Awww your DH is too sweet! Happy anniversary! My 2nd anniversary is on the 16th - I'm sort of hoping .....

Beth -Honey, how are you holding up today? I've been sending you rising numbers thoughts all day - big hug and a prayer for tomorrow.

Positive thinking -Yay for lupron and getting started! ready to go!

Lou -oooh, I wish it were tom -thursday is my big day! Dont you worry, I'm all about the Chinese food after transfer! girl, you win the award for AF patience hands down! ugh I hope it doesnt interfere with your vacation - have a great time & be safe! :D

Sonya -You'll have lots of snowbabies, I hope. Good luck tomorrow
You'll be PUPO!! yes, maam I'll bet a trip like that has lots of baggage - just dont you be the one lifting it! Have a safe trip home! you poor girl, you must miss your own bed so much!

Franny -Are you doing a little better today? I worry about you, you know. I'm hoping that tomorrow wont go as bad as you're thinking it will
I'm praying your RE will agree to cycle you again with a different dose this time - BIG GIANT HUGS TO YOU - xoxo

Marci -was wondering where you were! Your oath can be whatever you like - Ms. President :wink: hehe thank you for the PMA! Saturday was a loooonnngg day - I'm still pissed that its so difficult to get them to call you back! Have they forgotten how much this all costs? Did they get you to still do your trigger shot the day they cancelled you to ensure that you ovulate and get AF? I've had to trigger each time I was cancelled to get going again asap - if they would ever pick up the phone...... :evil:

AFM -I spent the day running around trying to find something to give to my RE. How can I possbly thank him for this? We finally settled on a Lladro figurine of a mother & child, its kind of pale, and muted not all colorful & loud. I hope it was a good choice. Really what can you buy for a DR? and one of those Edible Arrangements, you know the fruit that looks like a floral arrangement, with a sappy card. do you guys think thats ok? hows that for funny? you give me blasts and we'll give you fruit? hehe :lol: boy this had better work because infertility is causing me loss of brain cells! hugs& prayers to us all - xoxo
