Fall 2010 Cycle Group

[Lauren319]

There's no way I'm not pregnant. I feel like shit and my face is oily and my stomach is hanging over my fat pants. I'm getting those stupid sticks tonight. I may wait for tomorrow but I'm doing it dammit.

Lou - Are you kidding? Of course I'm still checking up on you and cheering you on every step of the way! Its just gotten uncomfy to sit forward at the computer desk, so I'm not on as much as I used to be, thats all. I told you awhile ago that I wont give up stalking you until you're pg and I'm not joking. Haha I was secretly happy when your FET date was moved up because I want to be sure I'm around to cheer you on. I know how nerve wracking the 2 ww is and especially when its out of pocket ( like we were) Please dont stress too much, mine was a FET too remember and I spent the 2nd week of the 2ww planning a DE cycle next - and was shocked when they said BFP. I want this so badly for you! try to relax this weekend and just enjoy time with your DH & Roxy. I've had everything crossed for you that I'm cramping up much love to you my friend - xoxoxo

Thank you Katie. Your post made me cry a bit. I just want this soooo bad. It's time for me. I am so afraid because I don't think I can take anymore bad news. It just has to work. I wish there was something I could do at this point to improve my odds but I know darn well it's out of my hands. I know embryo quality is the best predictor but i don't know if my frosties were good enough. Do you know the grades of yours and to what extent they were intact after thaw? I'm hoping that a 4BB at 80% is still pretty good. Mine weren't hatching yet.

Lauren319....Go get some sticks! We're dying here! No pressure....you can wait! My BF has a daughter and said that her skin was oily the entire time and was told that it was because she was pregnant with a girl. Not sure if it's true....but it sounds good.

Ryann....Still praying for your Dad. Glad you're starting soon!

Krys.....Congrats on the beta! Praying the numbers continue to climb!

Lou....Hey PUPO girl! I am so excited for you! Oct 16 is a much bigger day for you! I have a good feeling about you this time!

Tess & Teresa.....You ladies are gonna get all the preggo symptoms you'll need in no time! Enjoy it before the morning sickness comes!

Klinger.....Yay for stims!

Macfamily.....take care of yourself and have some gatorade.

Wondercat......So sorry to hear your hubby was being such an ass. Even the good ones have bad days. We all do. Hope everything works out.

Chili.....Oh girl....I know how you must be feeling. The ED thing is a huge step. At least you are able to talk about it. I think it's good he talked to someone outside of this. My DH talked to his twin about it when our RE first brought it up. It was good for him. We haven't actually told him that we were doing ED. DH only said that the RE mentioned it and asked how he felt. He told him that we were a long way from it, but wanted to be prepared if it came to that. Like I said before, we've decided not to tell anyone. There are so many ED agencies out there with thousands of donors. If I can help let me know.


AFM.....nothin'.....nada....zilch. I feel like I'm on a 2ww wait of a different sort. Don't get me wrong, I am glad that I have a calendar, but waiting sucks! Oh....I got a flu shot yesterday and I almost fainted! I've never had a flu shot before in my life. I think that I was feeling brave since I've had so many shots in the past year.

[Lauren319]

[annashope]

OMG!!!! Lauren congrats girl!!! I am soooooo excited for you YAY!!!! You just made my night I can't wait for your beta and how cool you already know it is a little girl

[andrea4]

Hi ladies! This is my first post, but it is so nice to know that there are other couples going through the same highs and lows that my husband and I have had. We did our HCG trigger shot tonight with retrieval on Sunday. It is our first cycle, and we are really excited and nervous at the same time. I just wanted to thank all you fantastic women for posting your experiences during this process. It makes me feel not as crazy as I think I am on all these meds.

[andrea4]

Congrats, Lauren! That is so great!!

[DandMe]

I did it. I POAS.

[Wondercat]

YAY Lauren!!!!!!!!!!!!! Welcome to the spectacular joy of not having to worry about looking fat in anything for 9 whole months!! I actually wore a short, skin-tight dress to my baby shower I was that psyched to look like Shamu!!

[nbfun]

Lou -- So glad you are PUPO!!!! Very exciting. I know I haven't "known" you long as I'm a newbie here but I so hope it works for you this time. You've been through a lot.

Krys -- Good beta news.

Tess & Teresa -- Remind me when are your next appointments? So excited for y'all!!!!!

Amanda -- I'm glad to have a stimming buddy.

Lauren -- Whoo hoooo You're pregnant!!! Congrats! And you already know it's a girl. How very exciting. YIPPEEEE

AFM -- Transcripts are done and will be delivered on Monday. YIPPEEE So get this.... last night I was watching my Bravelle video thing and getting ready to start stims this morning. I look through all my stuff and I don't have the right syringes or needles!!! I have tons of Q caps but none of the proper syringes. UGGGHHH I call the pharmacy. They were very nice and apologized and are overnighting me a package but it won't be here until Noon today. I have to stim in the a.m. and p.m. so I can't wait until Noon to do my first one. So the lady helped me figure out a way to make it work w/ the needles/synrines I do have. I ended up calling our local pharmacy and while they didn't have the needle I needed (proper guage) they did have the syringe I needed and sold us two of them at .50 each. So now at least I can mix up the meds easily but I'll have to do two sep. injections because the needles/syringes I do have won't hold all of it. Talk about frustrating. I had been watching my blood pressure all day since it was high at the doctor's yesterday morning. It was good all day. I decided to take it when I was stressed in dealing w/ the syringe stuff and sure enough it was up. Uggghhh I ended up talking to the lady where we order essential oils and ordered an essential oil to hopefully help w/ the blood pressure. Because it's not high all the time, I'm hoping this will bring it down w/out meds. We'll see.

Lauren319 - OMG YAY for your BFP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is soooo exciting!!!! I cannot wait to hear what your beta is on Tuesday. So happy for you girl!!!

andrea4 - Welcome to the thread & good luck at your ER tomorrow! Be sure to let us know how it goes!

Nancy - UGH, damn them sending you the wrong syringes & needles! You certainly don't need anything to raise your BP so I'm glad you got it straightened out. Good luck with your starting stims today!!
