June Cycle Buddies!

[narly2000]

Lisadcb - Sorry to hear about your lil emby. Hoping the two that were transferred continue to grow and develop.

Julia - Good luck on your stims! The menopur stung a lot for me... hope it goes well for you.

For everyone who just did their ET, how's it going? As for me lots of movies and dh is taking great care of me. 2ww is already seeming like forever and its just 1dpt. I have the pic of my lil emby to keep me going!

lisa- sorry about your embie didnt make it, but just because this one didnt doesnt mean anything, remember PMA, and they put in the best 2 in your tummy, so keep on talking to them and you will get your BFP!!!!! Last cycle they put in best 2 and out of 6 remaining only 1 made it to blast and i got preggo and my daughter is now peacfully sleeping in her crib, so dont worry those two best ones are in you for a reason !!!

craftycat- I'm black and blue on my tummy too! lol and i only am doing lupron, I'm starting PIO on sunday auchhhh I'm scared! I remember doing them last year it didnt hurt but the big needle always scared me.

zitinia- i think they supposed to grow like 1-2mm a day you dont want them to grow too fast to. I'm sure you'll be ok. you RE knows what he/she s doing.

angelrena- GL on your transfer. tomorrow you'll be PUPO!!!!!

sorry I didnt mention everyone, I'm lost on who's where, maybe we should organize some kind of list, maybe I'll do it tomorrow

ok g2g to bed, get some rest baby dust everyone!

I am getting ready to do my trigger shot! YEAH! Finally got word that we will definitely be doing our retrieval on Sunday morning! No more guessing!!! I am nervous and excited that it is finally happening! There are so many of us within days of each other...it is so nice to share this crazy journey with others who understand!!!

Byrnme- did you find out when your transfer will be????

Jenice- I hope all went well with your retrieval! How was it?

Lisa- So sorry to hear about your last little one not making it!!! Remember everything happens for a reason and that is why the other 2 are snuggling safe and sound!!

To all of you on your 2WW…how are you keeping busy??? Any good ideas? I am a teacher so I am off for the summer with nothing to do!! I have been taking it easy because I feel so bloated and they told me I could hurt an ovary. I am going crazy and I haven’t even had my retrieval yet. Normally I would work in the garden or around the house but I am sure you are a little more careful than normal!

Happy Weekend!
I will be doing my ET on Monday, June 14. They are going to call me tomorrow with the time. The hubby and I have decided that we want to put the 2 best in. We have yet to discuss this with the RE or the embryologist. For those of you who have already done your ET, how many did you put in, and what grade where they? I would gladly welcome twins, but triplets scare me (although my DH is a triplet). I am looking forward to Monday! But looking more forward to June 25 for my pregnancy test! I am planning on making pasta salad, fruit salad, and a banana bread today so I have lots of quick fix meals during my bedrest.

Good luck to everyone!! Lots of baby dust to you all

Well I did ER yesterday. RE got 8 eggs, I was a little disapointed. My last fresh I had 15 eggs but I think I might have had some OHSS. I know I feel alot better now than I did last fresh. RE said I had alot of cysts on my ovaries though. We got a call from the embryologist this am and we have 6 embryos 2 didn't fertilize. Transfer will be on monday. We will transfer 3 embryos, hoping to have some to freeze I still kick myself for going to blast my last cycle, I could have been doing FET's instead. Oh well, If I get a baby out of all this drama it will have been worth it.
Lisa - Sorry about youe little embie. I know my last cycle I was waitng on a blast and it had arrested. I was somewhat bummed, but I did have 2 other embies that they froze right away @ a very early stage.

byrnme - I'm also doing transfer on monday. Were putting in 3 3day embies this time. I dread the 2WW. I hope I still will be able to freeze some embies. We can go crazy together

craftycat - I was told not to worry about the #'s of eggs. My last cycle I had 15 eggs and 5 didn't make it 2 froze so I had 8 left out to go to blast. I had 2 blasts in the end, which I had a BFN. Then I did an FET with 2-cell and a 4-cell never thought I would have a chance and was preggo. I did miscarry but I was preggo with an FET with 2 day embies. So, I know all is possible. I was little disapointed this cycle cause I only had 8 eggs and only 6 fertilized. Hoping one will be my future baby . My RE told my DH to not think about extra embies, to basically concentrate on this cycle to get preggo. I always feel like I need backup embies though. I keep reminding myself it only takes one embie to make a baby, right ?

Julia - My RE said he thought I had a lead follicle but I think it was a cyst. I don't know why I had alot of cysts apparently this cycle.I always thought I had PCOS along with all my other issues. Good luck.

Congrats to everyone in their 2ww. You all should be getting you BFP right when I will be starting my 2ww.

I've been doing Lupron since thursday, today starts estrogen patch & pill, and 175IU follistim. I don't know how but we got extremely lucky and my insurance paid for all of the Follistim with a $0 copay. That simple fact alone makes me think its going to be a positive cycle with a BFP at the end!!

Good luck to everyone. I would comment on everyone but its harder to remember all the updates when I'm using my phone to comment. But good luck!!

Hi ladies...I am now PUPO!!!!!!! So excited!!!! Yesterday they transferred 2 very nice ones...still have 3 frosties left. All went well and its only day 2 of the wait and I am so bored already!!! Can't believe I have to stay in all weekend LOL!!! But I do want a BFP so its all worth it I hope this one takes, I am really hoping they both take but just one would be so great! I have the pic of my two embies and that is all that keeps me going
Millersmommy - so sorry to hear that 2 of your embies didn't make it ...I am sure that must be hard!! Awww thanks I also thought of you...I know you went in earlier. Wishing you the best....hope we all get BFP's!!!!!!!!!! Take it easy and lets just start the countdown!!!!!

Lots of sticky sticky baby dust to all!!!! Hope we all soon have a bunch of BFP's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone, sorry not to answer individually but I'm shattered!! Been working at the 24hr circuit in Le Mans and only just got home. Shoved some food down my throat and am off to bed in a minute. I'm at the hospital tomorrow at 8.30am uggh!! Having a general for egg collection, should be out by the afternoon. Think I'm actually going to enjoy the guilt free lolling around in bed reading magazines all afternoon!!
Lots of positive vibes flashing aaround on here so hopefully thats a good sign for everyone. It would be wonderful to see lots of success stories on this round, good luck everyone

[narly2000]

hey ladies im curious to know how many of you will be doing a HPT. I have pregnancy test scheduled for the 19th then the 21st. im really anxious and would like to do it on my own before going in. Anyone have any advice??

[zitinia]

Hi,Ladies
I just got back from the u/c...............
Me linning got to 18 so they said they wanted to be around 10 so that is not good.......
The good part are the follicles they got bigger and more
so as ghost said usually when u stay longer on stims u got the emby but not the linning
anybody has a similar experience
cause i thing my chances to transfer are not great
sooooooooooooo
baby dust

Hi everyone!
Now that I was doing bedrest, the highlight is having hubby bring me something yummy to eat! He's been so sweet, I don't think he's every waited on me like this before. And eating and sleeping feels so decadent!

Byrnme—hope your transfer went smoothly today! Our decision was pretty easy to make on how many to put in last time, because the RE suggested we just put in the best looking ones and there were only 3 good looking ones anyway (7-8 cell ones). The rest were not looking as good. Sounds like you have lots of yummy things waiting for you on bedrest!

TDF--Although I must also say, I agree with you, that yesterday (I was doing bedrest for the 1st day) and it also felt like the LONGEST day ever! I wondered when the day was ever going to end! Hope you are resting up well.

Julia and Jenice—I had a lot of cysts this time around too, but not last time. I think it may have been that I wasn’t synchronized well, so while some follies were getting big, other little cysts started appearing. I couldn’t get a good answer out of my RE about why I wasn’t synchronized as well this time, except she said your body has predetermined number of follies or cysts it will make every month and so some months are just that way. I was on the pill for a few wks before the stim started which is the way they synchronize people at my clinic.
Jenice, hope your little embies are growing healthy and make it to day 5!

Lisa—sorry to hear about the 1 embie in the lab—but the others are safely inside you and hopefully growing, growing, growing!

Blairwh—It’s so great when insurance pays. Sometimes I wish we could change jobs just for better insurance. good luck as you start your stim!

Craftycat—good luck on your ER today. Hope there are lots of good eggs inside all those follies!

Narly2000-I wish I could do a HPT now! Not knowing is the hardest thing!. But I was thinking I’ll do a HPT the day or two before my scheduled preg test. b/c then I figure it should show up accurately. Hopefully I can wait until then!

[TDF_28]

Hi my June Cycle Buddies!!! Another day of rest although I did get up a little more hoping that it wasn't too much!!! I never thought it was going to be so hard to just stay laying down. I think that its the weather...probably would be easier if it were winter out. Anyhow...I have a question for all my buddies on your 2ww are you experiencing any cramps??? I am experiencing some mild cramps and just hoping that is normal!!!

Hopeagain - I hope you are finding it easier than I to stay resting...

Hope you are all having a great weekend...lots of sticky stick baby dust!!!!!!!!!!!!
