I warned you I would be hitting Crazytown hard and fast! :lol: :lol: I tested this morning--and before you fuss at me--just to make sure it was a negative so that I could safely say my trigger was out of my system. And, I got the negative I was hoping for. So--we shall see how long I go without testing again. Tuesday would be very logical. I am no where near logical at this point.
Margi - You just cracked me up with your hard & fast trip to Crazytown!!! And I would never fuss at at another POAS addict. I almost thought of POAS today too to see if the trigger's gone, but I talked myself out of it. Tuesday is my goal, but we'll see if I can really hold off until then. DH doesn't think I'll last that long (and he's probably right) LOL. :mrgreen:

Nancy - u are doing sooooooooo great, I can not wait to hear your second beta. Great news about your frostie

Baby - blu - you have given me hope, I hate drinking water, if I add lime can i add suger toooo???

Kaylie, i am sure you will be fine, you may need to rest up a bit more and not lift anything heavy.

Klinger - Lov your con plan also, loving the idea of a massage, my DH is useless at them, two rubs and that's it.

Lou - sorry I can't help, I am a bit too far. Glad to see you back and roaring to go.

Tammy - I have lost track of the days, have you had your extra day stimms and another US yet?

Karin - how was the concert?

Lauren - you still with us, you were not blown away I hope. How was it?

Kynlee - I am trying to drink, but its doing my head having to go the toilet every minute. I am a newbie just like you, I did not expect it to be so hard and take so much out of me.

Rypell - Thanks, yeah I have to POAS then give them a call. They at least gave me a stick. mmm a good lie, how about slight back problem which you have been advised to rest :?:

Karen - congrats on starting your stimms tonight, do you take them yourself or get DH to do them?

Margi - you just could not help yourself :) I am a scary cat and not even sure if I can do it when I am meant to, let along any earlier.

AFM - Loving the sofa and peace and quiet. I sent my 16 year old son to his great nan and my 14 year old step son to his aunt's, as it's half term and i don't want any stress from them. My belly has been hurting me today and been doing a lot of number 2s, It could be the pineapple. My RE called today to tell me that the third early blast and another embyo made it to freeze. She said that as the third early blast made it then the two they put in, has a good chance. Fingers and toes and legs and arms crossed.

Sonya.....my SIL always said that her first symptom was a feeling of a rubber band stretch and strong sense of smell. I had never heard of it it before. Sounds like it's normal. Hopefully it will subside soon. Take it easy and don't worry about statistics. You and your baby (babies) are going to be great! :D

Kaylie......awesome numbers! :D Congrats mama!

Ryann.....OMG....did u say u were on 20 units of lupron for 3 wks? I think I would lose my mind! I am only on 10 and I am hating it. My transfer will be right around the 17th if things go as planned. So we will be crazy together! We're having Thanksgiving at our house for about 17 people. I'm a little worried about it too.

Tammy....so glad that that you're stimming another day. Knowing u, those follies will catch right up. It's so nice when the the RE makes the decision your Hoping for and it takes the pressure off. U have awesome insurance. Is it with your DH company? I wish we had that kind of coverage. Ours only paid up to $5000.

Margi.....started already? :lol:

Osi....congrats on being PUPO. Don't eat too much pineapple....just a little.

Afm.....the concert was great! I actually enjoyed it! It would have been a lot better IF I didn't have this damn lupron headache. It was bordering on a migraine yesterday and I had to lay down an hour before we left. The girls loved it. Sean Kingston was there and he was good. Also Jaden Smith too! That kid can really dance! Will Smith is teaching his kids how to make the cash! When we go to the concert, there was a huge line for security. They were checking bags and using wands. I get up there and the guy looks in my purse and says..."what's in the container?". I say.....ferTility drugs...wanna see them? He says....nope....I trust u...u can go. Funniest thing ever. He was so embarrassed. His face turned 3 shades of red. Then when it was time to do the shot, I couldn't help but think.....I am an ivf addict. This is how drug addicts Do it....right? Here I am shooting up at a teeny bopper concert....really? Oh well.......we do what we've gotta do! :lol:

More to tell.....finish later!

Just wanted to check in on the ladies - I've been following along with everyone the past few weeks - so much going on here! Congrats to those of you with the BFP's this cycle! I'm very happy for you all and it is nice to have some positive news to give the rest of us hope that this will work!!!

I went in for my baseline on Tuesday. I'm doing estrogen priming protocol this time around so I have to wait a few weeks and then start my estrogen and lupron. If everything goes well, it looks like I'll be starting my stims right around Thanksgiving!

Just about to order my meds and am having a heart attack at how much they are this time around with the ganirelix/cetrotide being new to me (plus gonalF and menopur) :shock: Has anyone found a pharmacy that they feel has really great prices? My doctor's office typically uses Freedom but they are open to others that are domestic if I can find better rates.

Hi kbillsy - My RE would ordered my Ovidrel from Freedom then the rest of my meds from Alexander's Twin Pharmacy. I didn't take Gonal-f, but my Menopur was $1977 for 6 boxes ($329.50/box) and my Ganirelix was $344 for 4 syringes ($86/syringe). Just wanted to pass those prices along in case you wanted to compare.

Great update Kaylie! You're doing great and right on track. I'm so nervous! I wish I could go first sometimes! LOL we are on the west coast so three hours behind everyone. It's 11 a.m. here and the lab still has my blood in process. Gag.

Kaylie and Baby...awesome betas! Congrats again!!

Sonya...How dare you live on the west coast and make us wait?! lol :P

Osi...Today is day 9 for me and today was my extra day of stimming. I trigger tonight. Love the new siggy pics! Very cute couple!! Yayy for frosties!

Kbillsy...It so good to hear from you and that you are getting started. Yayy!

Ryann...Good Luck on Monday...I'm sure that all will be good. Back issues sound like a good excuse.

Crystal...Good Luck with ER today! Let us know how it went when you're up to it.

Karin...Who did you end up getting to go to the concert then? Did you get stuck with the money? That whole situation stinks. Your story with the security guard cracked me up. lol

Margi and Klinger...Cant wait to hear that you both caved! lol You guys crack me up.

Karen...Yayy for starting stims!

Lauren...Good Luck tomorrow morning at your SnS. I hope you get to trigger, then you'll only be 1 day behind me. lol What were your follie sizes yesterday?

AFM: I trigger tonight at 8pm and ER is Saturday at 8am. My 19 and 20mm follicles only grew .5mm and the little ones grew 1mm...which isnt too bad, I was hoping the littles would grow 2mm and the bigs stay the same...so I'm just hoping that they make it to 16mm by Saturday and are mature. Not great news...but not bad news either...glad we went one more day. I'll be happy at this point if we get 4...estatic if we get 6 and have 2-3 to transfer.

Hi girls! 100 pages!

Frecles and Baby-blu awesome super betas mommas! Now go worry more about the 3rd beta ;) - you know you're gonna! :) welcome to mommyhood! :)

Tammy - great for triggering tonight and hope it all goes super well and you get mature eggs and your baby!!!!!!!!!!

Karen- great follies and you get the go ahead! We will be PUPO together!!!!

Ryann - back is a great excuse but then don't forget and do something silly in front of her!!!

Margi - When do you POAS next? Your no cyst dance worked!

AFM - woooohoooo NO CYST! And she looked super fast (fastest in and out u/s I have ever had!) and she siad oh it looks great you got lots of follicles, at least 11. For me that is super wonderful since I usually only have 7 or less now and my right ovary never works, now it has 5 AF in my RT ovary!!! Seriously I think it is the DHEA and the CO Q10 I have been taking for 3 months. Hopefully I can have many mature eggs (only 4 on #1 and 3 on #2) and maybe even a frostie? But hopefully we will get our baby and won't need a frostie! I am super excited today, I really hope this is a great cycle!!!! I can't wait to be PUPO! I think my ER date will be around Nov 6.
