Summer cycle group

Gate Crashing here!!!

Sonya we cycled together in jan/feb and i have to admit i just love following your poas addiction!! That is def. a line, i got my 1st very very faint line (much fainter than yours) at 7dp3dt and it continued to get stronger, i really hope and pray you will finally get your miracle and rejoin us back over on the other board. I remember you had to wait so long for your u/s last time and travel so far, i hope for peace of mind this time your clinic will monitior you better not that it would have changed anything last time but you were so worried (and correctly so) that making you wait till over 7 wks was just to long! Cant wait to see those lines get darker!!!!

franny this really has to be your time, you have so many cheerleaders following you its just got to work!!!!

lou as you all know we miss you and have everything crossed that you will get your miracle little baby this time, remember you have an angel baby who has close connections, i still ask my 2 angel babies to watch over little Kayla and help her grow big and strong.

fitzjr you may not remember me but we cycled together last yr and unfortunately we both m/c though the loss of triplets must have been so much harder. I know how hard it is to try move on but believe me it is sooooo worth it when you do get your bfp and it does ease the pain.

Lauren- I agree with you about the BCP. I know that they always seem to have a good reason for it. I actually did really bad twice when I took BCP. I had NO response to the meds after and had 2 cancelled cycles to an IUI. I ended up with 1 egg both times. Then my RE said that it was likely because of the BCP, which we didn't know until we tried. It's trial and error alot of the time. I think that they also do it to get you on their schedule of retrievals too. It's more convenient for them. I'm obviously a poor responder anyway, so I'm sure this will not happen to you. Talk to him and ask lots of questions. I wish you lots of luck and hugs!

Chili- I hope that you have a good RE appointment tomorrow and get to jump into your cycle!

I went to the RE this morning for a follicle check and there wasn't a lot going on. I also have a fibroid that worries me. He said it wasn't a big deal and not to worry. He said there were a few on my right and nothing on my left. He says that I have tiny ovaries and small female parts. He said that it's still early and he's optimistic. I did do estrogen priming before the cycle and am wondering if that's the reason for the slow start. I go back again on Friday. I went to my acupuncturist this morning to try to jolt my ovaries into super grow mode. Although my appointment wasn't as good as it could have been, I am still feeling positive and optimistic that this could be the one. I can feel my ovaries working as I type!

I hope that everyone is having a wonderful day!

Lots of love to you all!

Sonya - Definitely a BFP! Congratulations!!!

Franny - Your trip sounded fun! Happy belated birthday!

I went to my RE today for a test to see if there was scar tissue from my D&C. None, so that's good. I feel terrible ever since though. My stomach is so bloated and I feel like I have AF.
I think I am going to start stims on July 17 or July 24. I am trying to decide based on my vacation plans. I am a slow stimmer, so I estimate I will have ER the 1st or 2nd week of August. I am the worst BCP taker. I try to take it before bed, but am forever forgetting! I can't wait to be done with it.

Gi; I can't believe you are over halfway there. It's hard to realize that I'm still at the beginning, but I am a lot more relaxed and confident this time around. I took a lot of time away from the internet and had to wait a few weeks (months) before trying the FET so I was really casual about this try.

DH and I stayed in Vancouver for four days, just lazing around and enjoying the city and each other after the FET. We are so calm this time, it's really nice. I really feel more pregnant this time than I ever did last time. Here's my latest poas junkie result!

Sonya~ Looks as though we might have some great news! Looks like a BFP to me! Congrats

Hopeforbabies~ thanks for the advice re: lupron. I will certainly be double bagging it.

Franny~ Wow, sound like you had a wonderful trip! I love that you are a celebrity stalker too:) I love that stuff.....ET and TMZ are my friends:)

AFM, not much going on. I start supression friday. I have to admit I am dragging my feet this cycles....not so excited, very nervous....So much is on the lone this cycle for us....not sure we can afford to do it again, emotionally or financially. I want this sooooo badly. I remain positive, just nervous.

I think alredy it seems like this thread will have some great luck:)

Helllooo everybody
I've got some good news today, my beta this morning was 228. This is my first IVF after 11 years of being married, and one miscariage in 2003. I am so happy. I just wanted to share with you ladies my happiness. I've had my transfer 6/18/2010.
Thank you and good luck. I will keep you posted.

[hopeforbabies]

Maggieluv- Congrats on your BFP beta! A 228 is a pretty solid result so congrats for being pregos. Are you having a second beta done?

[DandMe]

*Maggi* Major congrats - what a great beta number!

[karin1]

Congrats Maggi on your beta numbers! I am so happy for you!

Sonya- Are you planning to POAS again today? I love how you keep us in the loop! It's so exciting to see you get what we all desperately want! Keep it up...we're all cheering you on! Thanks for the advice lastnight. I had already taken the meds a minute before your response. I added a smidge of Gonal F and just took it. My DH is out of town, so I called him and he said to just take it...so I did. I hope that it's okay. Today I'm worried about it. I wish I'd dumped it and started over now. For some reason it didn't occur to me until you posted. I think that all I was thinking is how much money I just spilled all over me. I'm thinking the worst thing that can happen is that I would stim an extra day....right? I hope.

Lauren- I hope that you're feeling better and can get started again soon!

[Tiger04]

hi Ladies,

First of all, it's so exciting to see all of the good news.

Franny, I'm so happy that you are on the path again. I've been thinking about you!

Sonya, so good to see that you have a BFP and are feeling much better this time around.

Gi, Katie, and everyone else, it's so good to see you are enjoying life!

I've been away for awhile, but ready to reconnect...if you'll have me!

I have SnS on July 6 and then IUI some time after.

Lots of love and baby dust!

[DandMe]

Karin; I'm sure you will be just fine with the meds! I'd still let the clinic know as soon as possible but generally I don't think it's too big of a deal unless it were a trigger or something like that. Thanks for indulging me with the kind comments. I had an early beta today, my local doctor was great about helping me boost my confidence. It was only 30 but I am only 7dp5dt so I'm okay with that.

Here's the latest!


If this offends anyone... please pm me and I'll stop. I personally like seeing success stories, but it might be painful for others and that's the last thing I want to do...

[karin1]

Sonya- That's great that you got to have an early beta! Did you call and ask for it or did they volunteer? When will be your next one? I'm so excited for you and love to see your results. It gives me hope. Maybe you can be the start of a BFP trend on this group! That would be awesome!

Tiger- Welcome to the group! Lots of nice ladies here.

Well, my appointment with my RE finally got here. My husband and I met with him yesterday and things are getting started. Just waiting on AF then we will begin bcp...should be second week of July. Then on day 18 of cycle we start Lupron. I couldn't believe that as we were finishing up our appointment I started crying. This is such an emotional time. I feel like I need support, but I also feel like no one understands. Does this make sense???

My husband and I will be able to join my family on vacation the beginning of July after all. I am glad that we have this chance to get away before all the craziness begins. The only hard part is all of the kids (I love them, but it's a constant reminder of what I pray for everyday)...both of my brothers have 2 1/2 year old daughters and 8 month old sons...I don't think they could have planned that if they tried. My cousins will also be joining us...they are 3 year old twins born via IVF.

As I read everyone's posts it is comforting to hear many of the same things that I think about talked about. Congrats to those who have had success...you are a glimmer of hope. Good luck to those who are continuing in the process.

rebecca- it is an extremely emotional time...i agree! please use this place as an outlet...we're all here for each other
