March/April 2010 Cycle Group

[latrell22]

Angela: I know about some road rage! I should have been on bed rest when I started stimming, I was upset with everybody! Yaayy for no injections tonight! Don’t you just love it when you get that one day off! LOL , I thought I was out of the woods and then today the nurse gave me another Trigger shot?? I don’t know why?? But I also have progesterone injections and a few other meds that I will be taking. No complaints though! We’ll be on our 2ww together!

Helene: I have never bought a house, but it sounds very stressful! I’m hoping that things get better for you. Soon, you’ll know how many lil ones you’re having! How exciting is that!!

Kim: I’m sorry about your BFN. I haven’t had to spend that much yet, but I definitely know how it feels when financially things slow down. I’m also a cash pay patient and I don’t work right now so I know its hard for you. I’ll be praying that your RE can work something out for you, some sort of payment plan or a certain percentage upfront. I really hope that they will help you.

Emma: 17 and growing strong! That’s great. When will you be going back for ET?

Claudia: AWESOME! You saw the sac!! Your blood work is going to be fine you watch! And thanks for the congrats as well. Yes they are little fighters! I’m so proud of them. My husband is hoping for twins! :-0

Franca: I know that REs are different but when I went in for my first scan, the follies were smaller than that. It wasn’t until the 2nd one that they got a little bigger, even then I was told to continue my stims. Helene is right, they are monitoring you and they will make changes and adjust. You’ll fine, just wait and see! I’m praying for you!

Franny: I tell you woman, you sure know what questions to ask! I never know what to question the RE about. I have no idea what my lining is. I’m guessing that it’s not bad b/c they didn’t say anything. Is it tested by bloodtest? I know I’m doing the utrogest vaginal 3 times a day! I’m definitely going to ask them about my lining tomorrow when I check in. It sounds like you’re coming along well on your stims! You have lots of follies growing! Can’t wait to see what the big numbers are!

Stephanie: Welcome to the board! Already got a BFP with an HPT!!! Many congrats! Your beta is coming up this Friday??? Let us know how it goes!

AFM I’m in the bed watching The Five Heartbeats, Lol. The 2ww has begun and I’m on 3 days of bed rest. My plan requires me to take different meds on different days so I’m getting ready to put together a calendar with all of them on it so that I don’t forget anything. Other than that, I’m going to try and patiently wait!

[latrell22]

Claudia: I posted and then saw your most recent post! Congrats! I knew your b/w would be good!!! WOW!! As far as your meds, I don't know what to suggest. But be careful with whatever you decide. Maybe talk to your RE and let them know that you're not feeling comfortable about changing your dose.

how do people feel after ER DID THEY FEEL SOREXXXX

[babyluv]

Kim - Oh friend, I am so, so sorry. It hurts so much, I know. I was very thankful that we didn't embark on IVF until after we already had our two children. The disappoint was still hard, but having them made me remember how blessed we already were. Hold DS close, take him out for ice cream and buy him a new outfit. That was my therapy anyway. We took a year off from fertility and I swore I was done. I guess God had something else planned.

Marci - Did you have your appt with the RE today? Praying for you too. It's one thing to KNOW we are blessed, it's another to feel the emotion of it when you are dealt a blow.

Angela - GL tomorrow! Enjoy your shot free night. Whew...

Claudia - I am so, so happy for you girl! It sounds like you are doing just awesome. Can't wait to hear about your appt next week.

Latrell - I am PSYCHED that you got to transfer both embies!!! Our clinic does 5 days light duty for a 3dt and 3 days light duty for a 5dt. I did take it easy, but still went out with DH on a date, went to church, etc (during the last couple of days). I just stayed away from heavy lifting, going to Disney, etc. Enjoy your free time...so rare we get it!

Franny - lining sounds awesome, follies sound awesome...ooooh, let's keep this ball a rollin'!

Bel - What the heck??!!! Have you called your RE? I can't believe you are STILL waiting!

AFM - I am taking off tomorrow for a girls weekend at the beach with two of my favorite gals. My sis has a place in Sarasota, so it's me, one of my two BFs, and a good friend flying in from TX. It's rare that the three of us can get together, so this has been in the making for nearly six months. It's a late 30th birthday celebration for them, and an early one for me. I'm so excited. Relaxing on the beach and renting movies...

[not hopeless yet]

Had ER today and got 11 eggs... should get a call tomorrow about how many fertilized. We're scheduled for transfer on Sat. and most likely will put back 3!!! Hope everyone else is doing well.

Rik1 - I am so sorry about your BFN! It's terrible how many ppl have no coverage for IVF! Good luck in whatever you decide.

Not Hopeless Yet - I hope you are feeling ok after your ER.

AFM - nothing new! Just pills and patches!

Latrell - they check the lining via u/s. The can see it on the screen and then they measure it. They say anything above 7 and below 15 is good!

Hi ladies!

I have to do a quick post so I can go play with DD. It is so beautiful outside today!! We went for the u/s today and the doctor said, "Hmmm... that's interesting, we didn't see that last week on the u/s (when I was bleeding)...look there's a second sac and heartbeat. IT'S TWINS! Of course I was very excited and DH looked like he could faint dead away. The heartbeats looked good-117 and 109. There was some fluid in my uterus-RE said it should reabsorb and not cause a problem. I hope so!!! I will read the millions of pages I've missed tonight and do personals-I'm thinking of you all and hoping things are going well!

Keep the faith!
Sara

[angelaezra]

Sara - that is great ... I knew everything would work out for you!

Angela

[babyluv]

wow, so we now have two sets of twins! congrats sara!

[rayofsunshine]

Okay back for personals

Kim-I am so very sorry you got a BFN. I wish you luck in the next step of your journey and I'm sending big hugs your way!

Franny-You have 5 follies already?! Grow, follies grow I can't believe they are having you come in a day later-will it have changed enough in one day? Let us know how it goes-I'm praying for only the best news. Oh, and please give Piperdog a big birthday smooch from me

Claudia-Ok, I know my hormones are completely out of whack, but you made me cry big tears of joy!!!! I am over the moon for you and seeing the magical sac! You'll get to hear that wonderful, strong heartbeat soon!

Angela-Woohoo for ER tomorrow! I hope RE gets lots of good eggies and makes it an easy, painless procedure for you!

Teresa-Are you crazy from the wait yet? No worries-the 7th will be here before you know it.

Winnie-Good luck with trigger and your upcoming ER.

latrell-Yeah for your two little fighters! I'm glad they both made it to ET-now we'll do the attach and grow dance for them!

Franca-No worries yet, the ladies are right: RE will monitor and adjust meds to make sure your levels improve. Hang in there.

Not hopeless yet-11 eggs is great number! Good luck Saturday. Did I hear your say transfer of 3? Hmmm....triplets on the board?!?

babyluv-How are you feeling? I hope everything is going smoothly for you!

Marci-Katie gave great advice with the protocol you mentioned. I say it sounds like a good option and RE obviously wants to find a better route now that you've tried it 2 ways. I know it is such an emotional toll going through this stuff but I know you'll make it through to the other side with your gleeming, wonderful personality intact. I think the world of you-you don't know how much you've helped me keep on the positive side this cycle.

Miner-Congrats on the twins I think my DH is right there with yours-$$$ started rolling around in his head immediately (I'm not scared-after all we just spent a bundle to get them here and somehow we managed, or will manage).

Take care ladies and best wishes!
Sara
