May cycle buddies :)

Kamalie - welcome to the group and congrats.

Bei - the 2ww is stressful, but stay positive and give thanks that you are now PUPO!

kitty_mom - I am tired, but it is my own doing. My husband is out of town, and as if having 2 year old twins isn't enough I was being a nice friend and watched her 2 year daughter today. I am glad there is no possibility of triplets for me... I couldn't handle it=) I am glad you have had plenty of distractions in your 2WW, you are halfway there!

Lisacb - grow follies grow! I hope those other two catch up. It only takes one, and my RE said he would take quality over quantity any day, so hopefully you are growing some high quality eggs in there!

PA - you are almost there! You can make it! Hopefully the weekend goes fast for you. People make the most insensitive comments. I try to remind myself that most people don't mean to be insensitive that just don't understand how emotional infertility can be and they just don't know how to relate to it.

BabyRN - congrats

Bril - I am so sorry it is so scary about the progesterone. I think it so nerve racking from the BFP to the ultrasound, I keep wondering if everything is okay. Queasy is a good sign for sure. I am a little more hungry than usual, but that is about it for symptoms for me. I didn't really have any symptoms the first time I was pregnant either, so I am hoping it means everything is fine.

Hi Ladies! Hope you are all having a good week!!!

Kamalie - Welcome and CONGRATS!!!!

Bei - Congrats on being PUPO!!!!

BabyRN - Congrats!!!

Purplefish - Congrats - how you feeling???

Everyone else hope you are doing well in your cycles!

AFM - I am doing ok a little nervous as my FET is scheduled for 6/11 and on wed I went in for BW and US and the doctor said my lining is too thin and he changed my meds to see if it works but if not changing the transfer date I was taking 2 estrace pills in am and 2 at night along with the lupron, and now I have to take 1 off the pills orally and the other vaginally to see if that helps the lining, its pretty messy but hopefully works. Saturday I have another US...I hope all goes well!

bei- my first beta test is June 7 but of course the dr won't give me the results until my second beta on June 9. When are your betas??

AFM i don't feel any different! Well, I feel tired and have had a headache that comes and goes but other than that I dont feel any different. every once in a while i will feel some cramping but it goes away. I am nervous that this is a bad sign.

[Kamaile]

hello everyone and thank you all for the warm welcome!!!!!!

EShepard, did you POAS? I know its not for everyone but for me I just had to know...waiting for the beta just drove me nuts with anxiety and wonder lol....and my RE office doesnt give results til second beta too but i talked them into giving me mine after the first beta

Today I felt kind of worried...we have some renovations being done to the outside of our house and today I woke up froma nap to hear a jack hammer making a loud vibrating noise right outside my window! I dont know how long i had slept thru it, its kind of like "white" noise and i like white noise lol so i slept right thru it even though it was LOUD. Then i began to get paranoid and starting wondering if that loud noise could harm my pregnancy.....I didnt feel any vibrations but i could hear it....wow, the things i worry about now days lol....seems like im analyzing every move i make lately.....tomorrow is my second beta, hope and pray my numbers have doubled....ill keep you all posted....my first beta was 223. Good luck and God Bless us all!!!!!!!

I just did my trigger shot, but I was also told to do another FSH shot too (my RE is hoping that will help the little follies catch up). The nurse told me not to do a lupron shot, but I am worried I misunderstood. If they wanted another FSH shot along with the HCG, wouldn't I need to do lupron too?? It is driving my crazy. I have to wait til the morning to make sure we did it right...don't want to mess anything up because of one lousy shot. However, on the brighter side, when they called me to tell me that I needed to do stimming with the trigger shot, I told her that we were out of meds. We had to make the 1.5 hr roundtrip to pick up a vial (even though I had spent the morning there doing U/S and B/W). The nurse felt sorry for us, and gave us a donated gonal-F pen for free...wow, that was nice!!! Now I just need to call them in the morning to double check...and then try to relax until ER on Saturday. I can't believe that we are almost at that point in the cycle

Hi ladies...congrats to all you PUPO!!!

Well my cycle was cancelled yesterday. We were scheduled to start stims so I went in for my ultrasound. Something looked funny on my left ovary so they sent me right to CT to check it out. I have a large mass on BOTH ovaries I'm waiting to hear from the nurse to schedule surgery and hoping I'm left with my ovaries when all is said and done. Good luck to all of you!!!

[Bril]

Ryann- that is so frustrating and disheartening! I hope they can get you back on another cycle soon.

Lisadch- Way to SCORE the free meds! Good luck on Saturday and take it easy!

Kamaile- welcome and congrats! I POAS at 4am the morning of my Beta- the HPT gave me a neg but the beta was positive! So they are definitely not for everyone.

I had my third beta yesterday and my progesterone has gone up so they said everything is ok. My HCG was 1831 and prog 21 so I have an u/s next week. I don't really feel much except the progesterone makes me really tired in the afternoon.

Purple- have you had your u/s yet? I can't remember.

Good luck to all, take care

[riogirl71]

Bril - good news!

Ryann - so sorry hun, big hugs...

[Kamaile]

hello all-

Bril- glad things are going well and yes, hpt's are not for everyone... thats probably why my RE office didnt want me to use them lol..

Ryann- sorry to hear that, hope things all work out so you can start another cycle soon.

Hope everyone else is doing well!!!!!!!

Afm- did my second beta today at 12dp5dt and it was 426. My next beta is in 10 days and then an u/s after that....hope all continues to go good for me and my bambino.....

Good luck to all!

[purpleFish]

lisadcb - good luck tomorrow! I hope it goes well.

rypell1985 - SO sorry to hear about your cancelled cycle. Good luck on your surgery..I will be thinking of you. Keep us updated.

[PA_FA]

eshepherd- my first beta is Monday also. Only a few more days. I can hardly wait! How are you feeling?

Ryann- I'm so sorry it got canceled. I hope you are feeling better soon!

Kamile- Congrats on another great beta test! Keep those numbers rising!

Bril and purplefish- How are you ladies feeling?

AFM- OK I am kind of freaking out here and it's past midnight and it's too late to call anyone. DH is on a plane to Spain. UGH. (I apologize for this being tmi but I don't know who else to ask) So for those of you on progesterone suppositories you know how icky and gross they can be. I have been wearing a thin pad so I don't feel like I am wetting my pants all the time. Tonight when I went to take more progesterone I noticed a little bit of light brown on the pad. Do you think that may be implantation bleeding? I am REALLY hoping that it is. I hate to get my hopes up and then be let down. My ET was 9 days ago. My first beta is on Monday. I am freaking out here! I have so many symptoms but I don't know if it's pregnancy or hormones that they are making me take. I've never been pregnant before so I am getting all my info from the internet and books. EEK....I have taken a nap 4 out of 5 days this week. (Not a napper) I am breaking out all over, I'm a little crampy, maybe that isn't a great adjective...twinges? I am having the weirdest dreams in my life. Like seriously...Stephen King can not hold a candle to these dreams! I am super thirsty all the time. Help!!!!!! What's going on with me???? Ladies...if you had implantation bleeding, what was it like for you?

[Kamaile]

PA_FA, Im not sure if the brown on the pad is normal but i think i heard that it was okay...just as long as its not bright red blood? I dont use progesterone suppositories, I have to take shots but I can imagine that it can get messy...during my 2 ww, I had cramping too as well as "twinges". I am also more tired than normal and i either take a nap during the day or else i go to bed early (and I am usually a person that stays up late). I also started getting very nauseaus at around 9dp5dt and i still feel kinda sick to my stomach every day...have you POAS? Were you planning on doing it?

[BabyRN]

bei- my first beta test is June 7 but of course the dr won't give me the results until my second beta on June 9. When are your betas??

AFM i don't feel any different! Well, I feel tired and have had a headache that comes and goes but other than that I dont feel any different. every once in a while i will feel some cramping but it goes away. I am nervous that this is a bad sign.

Good luck on your Betas! During the first week of my 2ww I felt no symptoms, but then the second week I had cramping on and off. I was worried when I had no cramping, because they told me I would.Then when I got cramping I thought, OH GOOD! maybe something is implanting!Then it went away and I got nervous again that I should be cramping, but then it came back the day after my first beta and I was worried that I shouldn't be cramping anymore. It's so funny how we make ourselves crazy! Just try to stay busy and remember that it's different for everyone. Good luck!

[PA_FA]

Kamaile- I POAS when I was 6dp5dt...oops. I got excited by everyone's BFP. Well, it was neg but everyone said it was too soon. So that's what I am going with. I can't do it again since DH is not here. I will POAS again the morning I go for my first beta. It is definitely not red at all. More like old blood? I am at 9dpt today. I felt a little ill on a car ride but not too bad. I usually have a pretty strong stomach. I just got so anxious when I saw the spotting. I'm just hoping with all my heart that it is a good thing.
