Just dropping in to say hello and wish all of you ladies well!!! Just a quick few personals before I go do my injection for the night.

Hopeforbabies and bei: I am taking Merional twice a day. (3 powders 1 liquid each time). I don’t know anything further than the u/s appt that I have for Tues. I hate not knowing whats coming. That’s one of the downfalls to having an RE that isn’t American. Nothing wrong with having a German RE but the communication isn’t there.

drboots: 8 follies!!! WOW! That is great! Grow follies grow! Many congrats to you!

AFM my first injection went well, getting ready to do the second one for today. But am a little worried. It still seems that I’m not traveling down the same road as some of you and that my protocol is different. I really don’t want to be cancelled again, I want this to work. I know I worry too much!!
Me 33, one tube removed the other blocked. Daughter born 2002. (M/C 2005)
DH: 35 perfect

1st IVF: Jan 2010-canceled due to poor response to the meds :-(
2nd IVF: March, ER-2 follies, both fertilized, both went to ET,
1st BETA 4/13 :-0

Helene – I didn’t even realize you took a picture and posted it and I already read your post. That just goes to show you how sleepy this medication has made me … lol. But, I definitely see both lines also. I think you are pregnant … whoo hooo!

Claudia – please give it time. I agree with the other ladies, I think it is probably too soon!

Kim – I hope everything went well with your ET! I look forward to the details.

Lauren & Franny – I know you both will be happy to get off of the BCP! I think I did a happy dance … lol!

Tiger – it’s hard waiting for AF. I’m sure she will be here soon!

DrBoots – whoo hooo 8 eggs … that’s awesome! Thanks for the well wishes for stims tomorrow … wow it came so fast I forgot it is tomorrow. I have an early morning u/s and blood work then I starts the STIMS!!!

Teresa – That is great news about the insurance and the FET next month. See, everything is starting to look up!

Bei - I hope AF comes when you expect her to ... what is your timeframe for her to arrive?

AFM – So happy AF started yesterday and I’m excited about my u/s and BW tomorrow. I hope the 31st gets here soon for my ER.

Hi ladies!

Sorry to leave you all hanging--I welled up with tears when I saw all of your well wishes and support. Have I told you guys that you are the BEST!!

So...I'm PUPO!!! My transfer was at 1:30pm. My little embie (which Claudia has named Luke!!) survived the thaw. It had 15% degeneration and was compacted, but they thought it had a chance. I'm trying to protect myself from disappointment by not getting too optimistic, but I can't help it...I'm optimistic anyway. I want this SOOOO bad---as we all do. So...I'm going to send my little embaby positive vibes and hope that it will surprise me (even if it isn't the prettiest embryo I ever saw!).

I'm on bed rest until tomorrow night, so I will catch up on personals later. The valium's making me pretty groggy, so I want to make sure I have a clear head when I write to you all!

I've missed you guys and will check back soon!

Oh....and my Beta is on the 31st. Hmmmmm.....when, oh when, should I POAS?!? :wink:

Helene I went back and looked at your pic that you posted and I agree that I can definately see a line. Your kids will be so excited when they finally get to see it too!

Laterall22 I hear you about the lack of communication coming from our RE's sometimes. Mine practices in America but he is from India and is hard to understand sometimes. Also he does not share as much information as it seems some of the other RE's do from what I've read on here.

Angela So excited that your AF arrived and you can contiue down this crazy rollercoaster of IVF!

Kim Hip, hip, HOORAY! You are in the PUPO crowd congrats! :mrgreen: I too know that little Luke will be a great fighter and will be burrowing his way in very soon. Now get lots of rest and stay positive for him because he's trying very hard to grow so you can hold him!

AFM - Just got off the phone with the RE's office and my E2 came back at 902 which is apparently too low so now they are having me up the follistim back to 100iu. Jeez talk about a real rollercoaster...down the meds, up the meds, down the meds, up the meds! SnS is scheduled for 9:15a so I will see you all after that. I'm going to try to find out an exact number and how big they are this time. Not going to let that RE run out on me so fast.

bei Sorry didn't really forget about you, but didn't put you on the post. Sorry like I said my brain is not in top notch lately. I am hoping that AF comes to visit very soon and you can get started on your cycle. You are doing donor eggs right? Are you still in close contact with your donor?

Kim - woohoo! welcome to Club PUPO! :D :D :D

Teresa - IVF really is a roller coaster...hang on girl! glad to hear your insurance came through. that's always a load off...

Latrell - don't worry if you aren't doing the same protocol. every body is different and responds differently.

Katie - thanks for crashing! i'm so glad to hear your pregnancy is going well (i lurk on "the other side" from time to time). i think this weekend will be the hardest to resist the temptation of The Stick. :)

franny - YAY for acupuncture!!! i remember how utterly relaxed you sounded last time when you were going. and going on a trip with DH? your PMA is going to be skyhigh. :mrgreen:
btw, i am totally not in crazytown. i'm saving that for the weekend. ;)

franca - that's great you get to start stims! are you feeling more relaxed these days? i think you said you were going to try acupuncture...

babyluv - did you POAS yet? :)

lauren - hope that biatch AF visits you soon! she seems to be taunting everyone this month... :twisted:

Helene - i definitely see a faint line in your picture! can't wait to see tomorrow's...almost makes me want to POAS. almost. ;)
by the way, i did turn off the intruder. i have no patience for people like that...

drboots - wowee, 8 eggies are great! and your follies are still growing so you'll have a bumper crop by ER day...grow lil follies, grow!

claudia - omg, your beta is almost here...that was quick! can't wait - all appendages are crossed for you! are you POAS again?

Neffi & Lisa - welcome back! our board is off to a great start...watch out, the PMA can be contagious! ;)

Sara - OMG, that is an awesome second beta! is it sinking in yet, momma??? :D :D :D

AFM, just trying to get through each day with out driving myself crazy analyzing everything. i've had a very mild nausea on and off today, but i'm not getting excited about it unless it comes back tomorrow. geez, when else will i ever say i want to be excited about nausea??? :roll:

Hi ladies-

Okay...everything JUST went out of my head as I started to type (should have taken notes!)

Marci-I'm so glad you're up and going-did you have to mention brownies?! It's 9:00 and I'm seriously considering going to the store to get a mix and get cooking :lol: I've never met a sweet I could resist! Friday is tomorrow-only good news :!:

Kim-Yeah, you're PUPO!!! Luke-may the force be with you, snuggle in and grow, grow, grow!! (cheesy me :wink: )

Franny-Enjoy your weekend! I'm going to hang out at home since we are expecting snow-yuck, seriously?!

Claudia-I still have everything crossed for you-positive vibes and well wishes for your beta!!

Libby-So you are managing the urge to POAS? That is self-control! Not much longer now :wink: I agree, we are the only crazy people who celebrate nausea and AF-let's say we are "special" :wink: :mrgreen:

Teresa-You poor thing, they are keeping you in crazy limbo land! I'm sure your RE wants to get it just right and will get it all figured out to keep you on track. I can't even imagine that many eggs!

Latrell, Franca, Chris, Angela, and Marci- Yeah for stims! One step closer.

DrBoots-8 is wonderful!! I hope they just continue right along until ER

Helene-I saw the line too :wink: Hoping it only darkens for you.

Tiger and Bei-Doing the AF shuffle for you. She needs to cooperate and be right on schedule to make life easier for you ladies (although, this isn't the "easiest" thing!)

Katie-Thanks for the congrats! I've been lurking on the other side but haven't had the nerve to join yet. I think I'm still trying to wrap my head around this. Thank you for the ticker help. I swear I can't do even the easiest tasks with the clearest directions. My DH actually sat down, smirked at me and walked me through the two steps you gave and laughed at how easy it was. Go figure! :roll: How are you feeling?

Lauren-I can't imagine typing any length on an Ipod. That's dedication! Glad you got to use the computer this time. How are you doing? I think the twins thing is because I've always dreamed of having 3 or 4 children and this may be our miracle! DH seems to have lightened up and I know nothing is certain right now-I will be happy with a healthy child, one or two. :wink:

Ladies, have a wonderful evening! Keep the faith!
