Today I start Stimms....a little nervous but preapred for what's in store for me. U/S & LW monday. It's so nice to read about the BFP's and great folly numbers. Can't tell you how much this web site has helped my journey, Just when you think nobody knows what your going through...you find a bunch of women who are doing the same as you are and UNDERSTAND! Thankful!



Congrats to all the BFP's!!!!!!

PatyPaty 7 is a great number. Your ET is around the corner.

Tameka: Blessings your way, I pray that all goes well at you ET!!!

Lauren – Those numbers sound great and ER on Monday!

Helene – I am not sure when my u/s is scheduled but I will probably find out when they call this afternoon. I am glad that you like your new office and colleagues!

Emmax – that is a great beta. See you worried for nothing! We kept telling you to relax and it would work out. How many embryos did you transfer? I thought you said 1 but it could have split and you could have twins or more in there!

Franny – please don’t stress over the brown spotting because that sounds like old blood. Probably form the irritation from the Progesterone. I still have faith in your pregnancy but we need you to have it too.

Paty – I am so glad that you are feeling better today. I noticed also that I was a lot sorer after this retrieval than the first one. I had to take the pain meds for a few days, where as the first one I didn’t take anything!

Waiting4GodsMiracle – I am glad that you are starting stims today … that is great news. Yes, we all understand the emotional rollercoaster of IVF and we are here for you.

AFM – I am just waiting for my call from my RE and I have such a busy afternoon for work. I have a conference call in an hour and a dinner program tonight down in Cincinnati tonight with my doctors. I will be exhausted when I finally get home. I will post again once I hear my second beta … please god, let it be a good one!!!

Hope you ladies don't mind me crashing this thread...........I am on my 3rd fresh Ivf cycle and today was my ER. We had 15 eggs retreived and we will receive our fert report tomorrow.

The doctor is trying some different things this time and I am curious if anyone has any experience with the following? I did an intralip infusion on Wednesday and will be doing Lovenox injections daily during the 2 WW as well as HCG injections every 3 days - anyone else do these?

Congrats to all the BFP!!! I am a little sleepy so I will check in tomorrow. It is hard to keep up with everyone here - I have been reading for a while and the pages are numerous...............

BABY DUST to ALL!!

[sas1122]

OK ladies,

I need some positive thoughts! I am waiting for my first ultrasound on Wednesday to hopefully see a heartbeat! I have mixed emotions on my symptoms, some days I am tired and my breasts are sore and other days I just feel fat.... I am still on 200mg of progesterone a day... no bleeding just slight cramping... I keep telling myself that my beta numbers all looked good.... but anything could have happened in the last 9 days....I need to keep a positive attitude, but it is hard when you have been through the miscarriages and disappointments!

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I didn’t get a chance to get back to you ladies earlier but I was rushing to get to my dinner and I was just so upset! I only had a small amount of time to put a post on the IVF board for advice. Basically, my RE’s nurse called and said my beta went from 72 to 108 in 48hrs. But, she said they weren’t worried because my progesterone is in the 280’s from around 230 and the normal level is 50. She said if your HCG and your progesterone were low then we would think of a possible miscarriage but your ovaries think this is going to be a good pregnancy or it would be putting out so much progesterone. I asked her about the replacement that I am taking and she said since it is a vaginal suppository that the blood levels cannot measure the supplement, so the levels that are being produced are strictly from my ovaries.

But, all I could think of was “no not again … I am going to lose another child”! She said you aren’t having any symptoms of a miscarriage and we will repeat your levels on Monday to put your mind at ease. I asked her about the new literature that says that HCG levels should not be just measured by 48 but from 48 to 72hrs and she said yes that is right. But, of course I started crying and then I had to still go to work to have dinner w/ my doctors’ as if nothing was wrong. I prayed to god to give me strength so I could get through it!

Please ladies, I need your prayers because my baby is in God’s hands now and I can only wait and see what will happen. What a terrible way to start a weekend!

hi everyone

my name is yasmeen & i've been TTC for the past 3 years. my dh has a very low sperm count , 98% abnormalities & almost no motility i'm in day 13 of our 3rd ICSI trial, i'm 28 yrs old & he's 33. i'm so sad 2day , almost crying ........................... i don't feel any symptoms at all! no nausea , no sore boobs , nothing .........not even cramps or bloated tummy ! it's very frustrating after all these shots , medication & weight gain (esp. that i spent a whole year losing weight). i'm almost certain that i'm not pregnant again , although doctors performed every test they could 4 me 2 find out if i had any other problems other than my dh's sperm ...............it's so very difficult esp. that i have endless problems @ work & i wanna leave it so bad but my dh sayz that's a bad idea now considering that we may never have kids in our lives (we're out of money 4 any more ICSI) trials. i work more than 10 hours everyday with a very abusive boss & i'm underpaid , overworked & it's not even a job i like + my boss is always threatening me 2 make me come & work in the weekend on OTHER ppl's work even if i've finished all my work ............i have no time 4 anything anymore , i used 2 exercise & diet & have fun before this awful boss came along ...now all this stress + possible ICSI failure is driving me nuts ................i'm crying now & i'm so miserable & very scared from the HCG blood test tomorrow!!

[Franca]

Hello there Yasmeen


Its very hard for me to know what happens in the 2ww, i suppose just to stay positive and pray. I know its hard this is my first ICSI...The fact you havent got any symptoms doesnt mean your not pregnant. I worry i have too many things going on with me. This is what i have (IM DAY 10))

period pains (not strong)
sore breasts
armpit pain
Iv had tempreture of 37.8 (i took Paracetamols)
Legs ache
lower back ache
Bloatedness

all these means to me i could be pregnant or just about to have AF



I just want to bury my head in deep sand...

Love
Franca
