babyblu73- my ohss wasnt as bad as other women that I have heard about... I was lucky that it didnt get that bad where they would have to drain... I gained about tens pounds in my stomach I looked 3 or 4mths pregnant.. I had fluid around my organs that they monitered to make sure it didnt increase I had to drink lots of gatorade... it was very uncomfortable, but I got through it :) The Dr just didnt think it was a good idea to do ET when I had ohss cause if I were to get pregnant it could worsen the symptoms...

Tessa- thanks I am hoping it is earlier preggo signs, but its so new to me that it seems like my normal 28days signs...

klinger13- Good luck tomorrow

Lou- Good luck with your Beta tomorrow... So sorry you are still getting those awful headaches.. :(

Nancy- SOunds like you will have some great follies and lots of eggs by next week :)

Osi- that is awesome, good luck next week with er:)

Lauren 319- Im so sorry, i know it cant be easy... :(

Krys- always hang onto hope.. I am new to ivf so I dont know much about beta #'s but your numbers went up so I would stay positive.. :)

Crystal- Good Luck :)

afm- i got alittle nervous this morning had some cramps and I thought it may have been mild spotting but now it seems things are normal again... this is so nerve racking... few more days till I see if I am preggo...:)

Lauren - I'm so very sorry hun. I wish no one had to go through the pain of having that BFP just to lose it shortly after. It's just plain cruel. Take all the time you need and know we're here for you if you need to cry, yell, or scream. And we'll be here for you when you're ready to try again. Hugs girl!

Lauren319 - your post brought tears to my eyes. I'm so sad for you. Treat yourself to something really special. It really stinks to go from sky high to rock bottom in a matter of days. We're here for you whenever you're ready to share your hilarious stories with us again. You'll be feeling far from funny at the moment so rant away if you need to. :cry:

Lou - I'm so stalking you. It sucks being in New Zealand where we're hours ahead of everywhere else. Wake up Lou - go get your blood test now!!!!

Hello ladies! I had my ET today. Everything went well except for last night before the ET I came down with a fever. 101.5 or so. My ER gave me antibiotics via a shot and then a prescription antibiotic to take for 5 days. He tends to think my fever is up due to the inflammation following the ER. I feel horrible but the transfer went well. I thought he was going to have to cancel it due to my fever being high. My hemoglobin was low as well.

We transfered 2 (3-3+) embryos so I should know in 11 days or so if I'm pregnant. It's so exciting but hard to enjoy it when I have a fever. Feel like total crap! :roll:

Anyway, I hope you all are doing well. I will keep you posted....please keep me posted!

OMG so much has happened.... Lauren... so so sorry. Nothing to add to that, nothing helps.
Lou - good luck!
Kaylie - yay for being PUPO... WTF with the fever... hope you are feeling okay. Where are you at?
I know there are other people with updates but these girls caught my eye... a big shout out and Hi to everyone.

AFM:

We managed to get 32 eggs at ER. Not sure why, but only 17 fertilized and only 12 fertilized normally.... but when you take the 32 out of it, and focus on the 12... we're happy as clams.

On day three (today) there are 8 of them that are progressing on track, at 8 cells and good quality, two that may not have divided by the time they checked but looked good, and two that are just being lazy little dumbasses and most likely won't make it. We're counting on the eight/ten that are doing well and excited for our transfer on Sunday.

I am getting three no matter what the doctor suggests.. we've had two blighted ovums out of a 2 embryo fresh cycle and a 3 embryo frozen cycle. Can't imagine what I would do if this does not work. Or even if it does, at this point.

Sonya,

32 eggs!!!! OMG! that's a LOT! Congrats for your fertility report. I'm only 33 and got 7 good ones. I wonder why I got such a low number being that I don't have any "true" fertility issues. I guess everyone is different. I live in Fredericksburg, VA....I go to Richmond IVF. I'm definitely annoyed with my fever. Just took it and it is 100.8. Really makes you feel horrible. I hope it subsides by tomorrow. I'm still extremely sore from my ER as well. I didn't anticipate the ER causing me such pain. :x

I'm still feeling horrible and the fever doesn't help but I'm trying to stay positive. I hope my little embies are snuggling in....maybe they like it warmer in there!! LOL!

Have a great weekend. Hope you all are well!

Hi Ladies,

Lauren-I am so sorry sweetie!!! I am thinking of you and sending you lots of positive thoughts and prayers! We are here for you when you are ready!

AFM-just a quick post before bed. I had an appointment this AM, my estrogen level is 888 (not really sure what that means, but my doc was happy)I have 10 follies that are measuring 12-13, ER is probably going to happen thurs or friday. I am excited and nervous. I am starting to feel really bloated, and kind of yucky, but I am hanging in there. Anyway, I am off to bed! Take care ladies!!!

Hi Kaylie... 32 is great but the quality must not have been there.. we got 22 last time with 15 fertilized normally... so we went from way over half to only a third. Still... we are thrilled with the response and praying these ones hold on all the way through. I have no issues with implantation.. it's that I seem to keep having m/c. :(

7 is great.. and yes I hear you about the pain.. I walked like someone had a stick up my rear all the next day.

tess- how are you feeling mama? cannot wait until the 26th for your u/s to see how many are in there :-) you transferred 2, right?

kynlee- yes, the 2ww is very nerve-wracking. better yet, EVERYTHING about ivf is nerve-wracking. a little cramping & some spotting can be a good thing! you just have the weekend to ge through & you'll know on monday! i'm praying for you! how many did you transfer for your fet?

lauren319- i'm so sorry! i know how awful this is...like a cruel joke. i will never forget how happy i was when i found out i was preggo my 1st cycle, only to have my betas go up slighty but not enough, until they started dropping. it is so unfair! i remember crying the happiest tears thinking i'm going to be a mom! how f*ck*n wrong i was! please pm me if you want to talk. i'm here whenever you're ready. (((HUGS)))

crystal- yay for the green light to start stabbing yourself!!!

krys- i'm praying for you! yes, hope is powerful & don't stop hoping & believing. when do you go back?

lou- GOOD LUCK tomorrow! i've been thinking about you every day & have included you during the moment of silence after the pledge every morning at school. i hope everything works out...you deserve this so much!

annie- how was your appointment today?

teresa- yes ivf is LOTS of waiting! i'm so sorry about the loss of 1 of the twins...how sad, but at the same time, i'm so happy for you about the 1 you have. i will be prayin that the 26th brings you great news of the hemorrhage healed. by the way...don't ask me why, but my initial gut feeling is that it's a boy :-)

meinemo- 7 out of 9 is a great fert rate! congrats! according to the schedule, your et is tomorrow, so good luck! how many are you transferring? yes, patience is extremely important for this crazy ivf stuff. glad the pio injections aren't too bad for you.

franny & tammy- thinking of you!

afm- ok, so my meds have been ordered. i confirmed them w/ the pharmacy today & will be getting my baby-in-a-box delivered tomorrow...woohoo!!! is it really starting already???!!! i will be starting 10 units of lupron daily as of friday, the 22nd, assuming the progesterone levels from that morning's b/w indicate that i have ovulated. af is due on the 29th, which i will then go for more b/w & start follistim assuming everything looks good. dh has a sa scheduled for the following tuesday, the 26th...hopefully the #s are better than the ones from july '09 & they can freeze it & use it w/ the eggs from this cycle.

Lauren319- I'm soooo sorry. ****. I was so hoping for better news from you. You will get your baby. I promise. But the road unfortunately isn't straight. Take some time and come back when you're ready. It's what we do. We are strong. We are IVF ladies.

More personals when I'm not on my phone.

AFM- ok. Getting ready for bed. Felt good after dinner so DH took me to see The Social Network. Pretty good but I spent most of it nauseous and hoping I didn't puke. Barfed twice when we got home and now I have ridiculous heartburn. If I'm not pregnant than this is the cruelest joke yet. I honestly don't know what to think. Flu? Pg? I feel like shit.Goodnight.

Hiya ladies! Just got the opportunity to get caught up on today's posts, I'm a bit of a night owl...

So many ups and such awful downs... whatta roller coaster of emotions!

Kaylie - Hope the antibiotics work quick for you, so you can get to being nothing but insanely excited! Said a prayer for you and yours :D

Annie - Congrats on the follies! Sounds like you're almost there! :D

afm I spent the majority of last night googling the crap outta my symptoms and what would help. Sent dh to pick up Gatorade after he got off work, took two stool softeners (ewwwwww, right?), then hit the hay... Woke up feeling better, but the true test was gonna be how the day progressed. Verdict is... MUCH BETTER! Whew! I was starting to panic a little... :lol:
ET Sunday morning... I have no idea what to expect, just hoping for good news.

Prayers for all!

Lauren - crap, crap I am so sorry. this is a cruel joke get all happy for a BFP only to get slammed, I know how you feel and let yourself get angry, pissed and everything, get drunk yell and punch a pillow. I do hope we see you here soon, they say if you get pregnant once that's a good sing your uterus knows what to do so you got a little pregnant so hopefully it will help with your next BFP! My thoughs and good karma are with you, prayers too!

I need to vent, sorry. My mom is here and she just shit on me big time. This is the woman who did not work until I was 10 and always had a maid (she is from another country) she just shit on me for being a crappy housewife. I work full time, have no maid, have a 2 year old boy who is a hurricane through the house, a 5 year old german shepherd and a puppy who is 5 months old. So my house is clean but it is not perfect or super organized. My mom's fucking house is a museum which she does not lift a finger to do. Also right now I know I am 20 to 30 lbs overweight, BMI is still normal at 25 but I feel overweight. Ever since my first IVF I had a hard time with my metabolism let alone find time in the day to exercise (I don't even get to go potty alone!). So she syas my husband is going to leave me cause he will be unhappy I look like shit. That I don't go buy new clothes (we have no money now cause of 3rd IVF) don't put a ton of makeup on and basically I am shit. All she cares about is looks and appearances. She never had a good realtionship in her life but she always had new clothes, she was never skinny but she is not fat, a little chubby. She always wears a ton of makeup. She is not proud of me becoming a engineer and being a good mom and being really happy with DH. I really try my best and I am alwasy trying to clean but I also believe in having fun with my son and DH and dogs, those are the moments I will remember and I would not trade playing with them for a perfect house. So I am shit looking and a shitty housewife and my husband is going to leave me and the kicker "I am not her daughter anymore" crap fu*** I am so heartbroken right now, I really did not need this. Of course I would love to be skinny, love to have perfect close and a perfect house but I do the best I can and I am not Martha Stewart. She was depressed and cheating on my dad when I was 5, but oh she had a perfect house and perfect clothes so she should be my role model right? I can only imagine being able to stay home full time and have a maid everyday! She leaves in 3 days and I feel like this will never end, smae story every time, I ask her to accept me as I am and be happy for me but nope. Ok had to vent, cried my eyes out already, thanks for listening.
