March/April 2010 Cycle Group

Tiger - UUUUGHHH, Jury duty. Can you believe that I called called to be on the very first jury I went in for? At least I was selected that morning so I could go home and not wait all day. I went back for the trial the next day and thankfully we finished in one day, not two like we expected. Actually, I was getting my oil changed during my lunch break that day when the adoption agency called to tell us we were leaving for Russia in two weeks to meet our son! So hey, maybe this jury duty thing will be exactly the thing you need to have your baby!

[Supergenius]

Oh Marci - I'm so so sorry to hear it. Hopefully your RE's new plan with be a better fit for you. I think cycling back to back is a personal choice. Some women are ready (physically/emotionally) and some aren't. ((((((((((((((((((big hugs)))))))))))))))

CLAUDIA WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!! awww yay yay yay!!! soooo exciting!!
i'm going to see the band spoon...ever hear of them? they are really good. they did all the music to one of my favorite movies, "stranger then fiction"
oh and 3/31 is my piperdogs 12th birthday so it is a wonderful and lucky day!!

libby hahaha i know...crazy money! ever since i went and checked out their prices i now try to guess how much each cake cost's during the show. people actually get cakes for like 3 year old birthdays...ummm...ok i dont think my 3 year old is getting a $1000 cake! there are 2 mary's on the show..i wonder if one of them is your neighbor! (yes i know i am a big dork, and get excited about reality tv people haha....DH told me i can never live in LA because i'd never go to work...i would just go around stalking celebrities hahahaha....scary thing is he's right!!)

tiger i'm sending AF your way..i'm done with her!! seriously though i think you should call your RE and see what they say about your missing AF! i've never done jury duty..i got called for it once, but then it was canceled, and i never got a case.

thanks everyone for your advice and stories about taking meds outside of home. what crazy things we do for these BFP's huh??

lauren boston garden????!!!! really???!!! hahaha how did you get it past security? at first i was thinking of trying to stash the pen somewhere on me, and try to get into the concert, but then i had evil images of being patted down and trying to explain what it was, and then getting arrested for having needles and "drugs" on me hahaha

babyluv woooohoooo for such a great beta!! is april 12th here yet?? the waiting never ends!! xoxo so happy for you!!

marci still thinking of you girl. i hope you get off work soon!! ((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))

heeks thanks for thinking of me!! how are you feeling? when do you go for your U/S again?? how did you get your meds, and needles on the plane?? i feel nervous taking my multi-vitamins through security...i cant even imagine! haha

emmax yay for triggering and getting to your ER! so exciting. its gonna be great, and you'll get tons of good eggs....dont worry!!

katie you are awesome! thanks for thinking of me!! i'm so glad you are here to cheer me on...i need all the cheerleaders i can get!! love you tons!!

ok i'm gonna go make some matzo ball soup...even though passover isnt until next week...its the best cure for a cold ive ever found!!!

***much love always***

[angelaezra]

Tammy – I understand how you feel. You can’t help but be nervous because of the stress but I think the best think is to always remind yourself that it is important to try to remain calm. But, you are not alone…

Franca – I hope your second scan went well today.

Helene – I hope the house hunt goes well.

Franny – I am glad AF his here but I hope she eases up on her visit. I hope your concert was great. Sorry I didn’t read your injection question until now but I hope it all worked out for you!

Marci – I am so very sorry. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. I agree w/ the ladies that back to back cycles are up to you but I personally would go for it if my body was ready.

Bei – that happened to me last year and I think they prescribed me Estrace/Progesterone or BCP induced menstrual cycle.

Libby – what a great second beta!!

Emmax – sounds like your ovaries have been busy … that sounds great!

Tiger – I’m sorry you still haven’t had AF visit yet. I sure hope jury duty goes well for you.

Bayluv – great numbers!

Claudia – 480 … whoo hoo!

AFM – I have another u/s and blood draw early tomorrow morning. I sure hope my follicles continued to grow from my last visit on Thursday. I noticed tonight that I am more uncomfortable so I hope that is a good sign!

[DrBoots]

OMG- took me an hour to catch up, sorry if I missed anyone.

Winnie- welcome and good luck this cycle
Miraclebaby29- no advice, but good luck!
Angelaezra- Grow follies Grow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Emmax- some days are harder than others. And the bitchiness comes with the territory, he will understand. What a GREAT number of follies!!!! Good Luck!
Turtle0619- YAY AF is here!!! Let’s start those stims!!!
Latrell- good luck on Monday!!!!!!!
Marci- My prayers are with you. I am so sorry you got canceled. I did back to back and it wasn’t a problem.
Sara- I know you have read the stories of bleeding and healthy PG’s. Keep you head and your hope up. Good Luck!!!!!
Not hopeless yet- welcome and good luck with the stims. Grow follies grow!!!!
Lauren1171- YAY for AF!!!! And wow, no SnS for a bit, I would be happy too. God luck with keeping the patch on. Can you use medical tape to keep it on?
Libby- lol, great minds think alike! “medical tape” lol. Great second beta!!
Tammys- sometimes we have bad days and you do what you have to, to get through them. Try thinking of all the good reasons for doing this and you will find your smile again 
Helene- house hunting can always be stressful. DH and I took a LOT of time to find the perfect house for us (3 years). But we found the perfect one! And we love it, so keep your hope up and keep looking. You will find the “one”
Bei- I hope your AF drops in this weekend!!!
Tiger04- I HATE when life gets in the way! Hopefully AF will get here at the perfect time!
Babyluv- GREAT beta!!!!! Congrats again
Claud662- woohoo, great beta!

AFM- well they got 7, I was so excited to get that 1 extra! ET is scheduled for Monday (unless on Monday they think Wed is better). I am still scared and excited all at the same time.
For the ER I got so far inside my head that I very, nearly freaked myself out. But as soon as I woke up it was like a weight had been lifted, no pain, no more anxiousness, just a peaceful, easy feeling. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

[mcfarland2213]

I missed one day and had ~5 pages to catch up This board is so alive!!!

hopeforbabies - i hope you're doing well & relaxing (and as Pheobe on friends says "let gravity do it's jobs"!)

secaly - I've been ok, been sick a lot this year (since the new year) with sinus infection after sinus infection, I'm not referred to an ENT (and finishing up my 4th round of antibiotics this year ) so I could've done without that - I go back on April 9th to get a CT scan of my sinuses...hopefully they can tell me what's wrong.

Turtle0619 - thanks for remembering me - it feels good to be back on the boards and I'm more hopeful/excited than ever. I know it will help to have all of you supporting me & encouraging me through it this time and if I have questions, I'm sure one of you have gone through the exact same thing!

It's been really nice this time around that none of our family/friends know when we're doing the FET - kind of makes me feel relieved that I don't have to answer all of their questions about how I'm doing/how I'm feeling etc. It's nice to have a secret with my husband and know that it will happen sooner than everyone thinks - hopefully we have GREAT news to share with them & surprise them!!

Hope everyone has a great day - I'm about to head out to see my best friend and her new baby - she's been struggling after a rough labor so I love just holding her little one and giving him lots of love (I tell him I'm preparing myself for having my own!) I also have to get a final fitting for my dress for my sister's wedding in April (happy thoughts that it fits now!) ha!

Sending out happy thoughts all day to everyone on the board!!

[angelaezra]

DrBoots – 7 sounds good! Your ET will either be Monday or Wednesday, how exciting!

Mcfarland – During my last FET, my DH and I didn’t tell anyone either and my parents were furious and hurt. But, they just didn’t understand that it was best for us at the time! But, I do understand your feelings.

AFM – I had my u/s and blood draw this morning and MY FOLLIES ARE GROWING!!! Some of the larger ones measured 17 and 18mm already and I can definitely feel them growing … I am so very sore this morning! My RE said my left ovary is still hiding and it’s difficult to see how many are on that ovary. So I think I have 13+ … he also said that he still predicts Thursday for my transfer, which kind of stresses me out because my DH has to work and my parents have their own appointments on Thursday. Oh well, I guess we will figure it out!

Angela

[Franca]

Had the scan and only found 5 folicles, they have increased my dosage (fsh) so back next week weds for next scan, is that normal? iv only been on fsh 5 days.

[hopeforbabies]

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone!

bei Sorry that AF still hasn't arrived for you. You should ask your RE if they can give you something to start it. My RE had to give me Provera this cycle because it didn't want to come.

Angela Yay for your follies growning! I'm glad your ER will be coming up soon and it seems you will have a big number to harvest.

Franny I'm glad your AF finally showed up and I hope that she is backing off now. So glad you got to start your stims. Welcome back to the roller coaster.

latrell22 Good luck with your trigger tonight/tomorrow (1am yuck!) and let us know how your ER goes

Sara How scary but the RE thinks you are fine so try not to stress. Your little one will be ok. Sending good, healthy vibes to your baby!

not hopeless yet I think the EWCM comes from the increase of estrogen from the stim drugs. I had some too and did fine. Try not to worry!

Lauren1171 Yay for AF and isnt it nice not to be poked and prodded by the RE for awhile.

Ashley/mcfarland Is it Tuesday yet?!? Thanks for thinking of me. Your good thoughts helped as my transfer went great!

Tammy It is ok to be angry so vent away! Just remember you are doing everything you can (taking good car of yourself, eating right, etc.) Try not to be negative as your thoughts can have a big effect on your body. Relax and know that everything will be alright!

Franca How did your appointment go yesterday?

Marci I am sooooo sorry that they cancelled you! (((((((((hugs)))))))) I would say if you are up for it try the back to back cycle but I would sit down with RE and get a good game plan before you make a decision. Sounds like your DP is willing to try again and will be there for you (as are we) every step of the way.

Libby Yay for a great number on your second beta! Welcome to motherhood.

Emmax YAY for the ER date and so many eggs! Remember to drink lots of gatoraid and smartwater for the electrolytes. You wll be fine during ER I didn't have any pain afterwards so don't worry

Lisa Cant they cancel your jury duty if its for a medical reason and you have a Dr's note? Sending AF vibes your way!

babyluv What an awsome second beta number! Let us know when you find out how many little ones you have!

Claudia Beta at 480 is pretty solid so I say believe it Mama you are prego!

Sorry to anyone I may have missed but I had 5 pages to catch up on and I just can't keep up with all you crazy typers!

AFM - RE said we had average to poor quality embryos. We had 11 b's and 4 c's and transfered two of the best b's. He said that the grading scale is not very accurate and that I am pretty young so not to worry too much. I go in on April 7th for my first beta. My DH is super excited and to my dismay has already told all our neighbors that we are pregnate! The RE did say that the transfer went really well so I am hoping that us being prego is really the case. Thanks to all for your support and well wishes. ¬TERESA
