YEA ME !!!!!
Everything down south looks great !!!!! OB says will will consult with RE all labs are fine except iron....duh....maybe it was the bleeding to death I did before I sent some away. By the way I still have plenty of AF to share...let me know !!
Soooooo, so far so good..SnS on Friday.. They said to take my meds to work with me cause if numbers are good they want me to start Friday am. WOW. That will be fun. I am not complaining, I have been waiting sooooo long. So my first hurdle is over, gotta clear Fridays SnS and life will be goooood !!!!

HOW TO CHOOSE AN OB (not really but it works for me.)
(When the ob walked in the room and saw me she jumped back, laughed and said oh its you, my wife laughed and then she laughed, she asked me how much of the experence I remembered, I told here nothing passed the first 2 local shots, her and my wife both broke into laughter and spent 10 min talking about how sore their arms were from holding me down and how strong and wild I was. She saod we gave you alot of medicine but you never quit fighting... I of course apoliguzed and explained that I was very anxious...she said "off the chain" was more like it. I really like her !!!! I asked if she follows during preg and she said yes, I told her I really liked her and asked if she would consider taking me on after I get preg, she yes provided I dont kick during delivery. I explained that I would be a c-section and she said we have a deal. She also added that she would make damn sure I was numb and happy. Did I mention I really like her !!)

Ok I am off to update the board, my head is alot clearer now and my PMA is high, thank you ladies for you do.
Marci

And I am really then if you can't drink at your friend's wedding cause like you say you will be PREGNANT!!! all worth it.

That's the spirith.

oh marci...i dont join club OUCH until NEXT friday....the 26th! thanks for updating the list though..you are awesome!

libby how are you doing? just wanted to let you know i am thinking of you...dont go to crazytown yet ok??

babyluv did you give into those evil sticks today? i totally think its too early. i also read somewhere that you can use ovulation sticks as HPT's..they pick up hcg too. i wouldnt read too much into it though because i think it has to be a really really high number to see anything on them. good luck...but i think you should wait a few more days!!

ok now i really need to go get some stuff done....this website sucks me in, and its so hard to get off this computer!

[Tiger04]

Marci – I am so glad that everything looks good down there! It’s so calming when you find an OB that you like…goodness all around!

Teresa – your numbers look perfect and I bet you will trigger tonight! Everything is working out perfectly! To the best of my knowledge, follies shouldn’t just disappear. They can grow up to 30 before being out of control. You will be great! Keep up that PMA.

Babyluv – what self control! Secretly can’t wait to hear, but good self control!!!

Lauren – Isn’t it funny how we change our minds so much through the IVF journey? It’s so easy to say…I would never…and then when you’re actually faced with the decision…you say…how can we not? I’m with you sister! It’s good for our personal growth…though extremely stressful. I have to admit, I too have a secret hope for twins, but would be blessed for just 1 too! Congrats on the last pill…hmm..good information on your AF. Mine is still MISSING! I will have to consider some blood work soon. What type of computer are you thinking about getting? We love love love our MacBook.

Angela – congrats on getting started! Woo HOO

Claud – it’s still early. Keep up the PMA!! Just keep visualizing and pampering yourself. You can do it!

Franny – Enjoy your trip! Yeah for being done with Evil BCP!

AFM – Still no AF…Seriously.

[Franca]

Hi guys had my scan today, all ready starting my stims on monday xxxx

[DrBoots]

Angela- YAY AF is here!!!! Good Luck w/ the SnS on Friday!

Misocial/ Marci- I am SO glad to her that you are feeling better and everything seems to be OK, praying you get to begin your meds tomorrow morning!

Hopeforbabies/ Teresa- WOW, that’s a LOT of eggs!!!!! Glad to hear they are lowering the meds and keeping you going. Isn’t it funny hoow you are so stunned by the news that you forget to ask questions until an hour later!!!! Good Luck!

Babyluv- let that confusion keep you from testing for as long as possible, I want the first one to be a VERY dark BFP line!!!! Good Luck!

Lauren- I hope your levels are all where they are supposed to be, and you get your new computer soon. I know I was lost w/o mine and it was only for 5 days!

Helene- I see something, hope it’s your BFP!!!!

Franny- You are so lucky, I need a trip desperately, but I have to wait until May 
Counting down 3…2…1…………..

Tiger04- Doing the AF dance for you, hope she comes for a visit, SOON!!!!

Franca- good luck with the stims

AFM- Well, I feel very unbalanced. I went for my SNS today and there is some fluid on my lining, but I am still in the middle of my AF. On the right they saw nothing and on the left they saw

8! Yes, count ‘em, 8 little eggs. I know I am SO excited about so little eggs, but the most I have ever had is 4 and they were ALL different sizes. This little group were all the same size and looked gorgeous to me!!!! I am such a dork, you couldn’t rip the smile off of my face! I stay w/ the meds and go back on Saturday. I would love to get a few more, but I am VERY happy with what I have so far. Have a great Thursday everyone, the sun is shining and beautiful here in NY and I am going to enjoy every minute of it!

[claud662]

Helene-I can DEFINITELY see a line!! CONGRATS!! I hope that it darkens each day!!!

Franny-thanks for the support!! yah for stopping stims!!

Teresa-fingers crossed you don't get canceled! My E2 levels were close to 3000 on my fresh IVF cycle and while I was hyperstimulated slightly they didn't cancel me!! Be your own advocate and do what you think is right!

Marci-SO HAPPY everything is a go for Friday!! I was worried for a minute but this is the good luck board!!

DrBoots-YAH for 8 follies! I also had fluid around my lining during AF and it went away after a few days so don't fret! They can also drain it if it gets too bad which is really easy.

Franca-Congrats on starting your cycle Monday!!

Ronda-thanks for cheering me on!! I am still holding out since Im only 8dp3dt and my beta is Saturday (was supposed to be Sunday but I'm traveling to DC for a few days for a conference) I'm sure my POAS addiction will get the best of me and I will continue to pee on the sticks!!

Will catch up later!

[hopeforbabies]

Helene Sorry I must have missed that you've been testing the whole time! Are your other kids excited to have another sibling? Do they want a boy or a girl?

Franny Yay only a few more days left of BCP!!! Your up coming trip sounds like so much fun. Enjoy it and relax I bet it helps the stims go easier on you when you do start them next week.

Claudia As the other girls mentioned don't worry about that evil stick not showing you a line. Its still too early and even if it doesn't I know your beta will. I will probably POAS too but wont really believe the results whichever way it goes until my beta.

Latrell22 Yay for starting stims today!!!! What will you be taking? Do you have a tentative date for you ER?

Lisa Thanks for reassuring me and it seems you are right, our levels have been about the same. They had me go for BW this morning so I will get instructions for tonight and my current levels this afternoon. I believe I will have another SnS tomorrow too.

Marci I am still so happy to hear you are feeling better. Your OB sounds like a perfect fit for you as she seems nice with a good sense of humor. Just like you! I had mashed yams the other night and now your talk of brownies is making me want those too!

babyluv did you POAS this morning? What did they say? Do tell the suspense is killing us all!

Lauren Funny how DH's change their minds on things like never wanting a baby to not wanting to ever abort one. My DH was the same way! He told me when we got married that he never wanted to have kids and then was so upset yesterday when we got a bad report from the RE. Here's wishing your AF comes to you soon!

Drboots Congrats on your 8 little eggs! That's fantastic news and I am so happy for you!

Kim Where are you hiding? Has your transfer happened yet? I know you are close but cant remember the exact day? Really I can't seem to remember much of anything lately. Come back and tell us how you are because I miss you!

AFM - I asked the nurse how the RE could tell the difference between the follies and the cysts and she said because the follies are getting bigger. So, I guess I really do have that many follies (I was hoping that he had gotten them confused with each other). It looks like I am still a go for my ER around the 22nd but will update as soon as I find out. I did find out that my insurance will cover the FET next month too so that took a load of worry off of me. I feel so lucky to have all of you wonderful ladies to lean on. Thank you for your PMA because mine is now back thanks to you. I'll let you know how my SnS goes tomorrow! ~TERESA

[katie99]

Sorry to thread crash yet again

Claudia please dont let those evil, PMA destroying sticks get to you. 8dp3dt is the same as 6dp5dt (just add both numbers together for the DPO, days past ovulation) I POAS'd on the same days and was Neg - yet 2 days later my beta came back at 65 - funny thing was the darn sticks were STILL showing NEG! it took those sticks until I was 11dp5dt to finally say positive ( Whew, dont forget that FET are known to be late implanters too) PMA PMA PMA! Only b/w is definite! X'd for Sat! - xoxo

Franny I PM'd you but thanks to the new format - cant tell if you received it? - xoxo

Marci Get that Colby dog ready for tomorrow! Grow em girl!

Kim Cant wait to hear how your FET went! Let us know - then get back to the couch! - xoxo

Libby crossed for your beta! Patience dust for the dreaded 2ww!

Good luck to everyone!! -

[lycase]

DrBoots - 8 and they are YOURS that is just amazing... I am so exited for you... I am sure this cycle is your cycle girl.

hopeforbabies - Yes I am a testing girl... just want want to see that line get darker I didn't tell anyone yet! I told the kids we would do a test on Friday but I will wait to make sure it's dark enough and they can see it. They don't care what we will get they know I want a girl but hoping for twins... boy girl would be awesome.

Way to go for your ER aound the 22... and for insurance coverage. We don't have any coverage for IVF here. Good luck with your SnS tomorrow girl!!! Grow follies grow!!! and Multiply!!!
