Fall 2010 Cycle Group

[kynlee]

Dandme- Omg hope you are ok, that so horrible if that women did that as a joke, not nice to do that to a pregannt women.... Ill have you and the baby in my prayers

Klinger- So excited for you cant wait to hear beta #'s

Tammy- good luck tomorrow with ET

Lauren- Congrats 7 eggs is awesome

Rypell1985- So sorry you had to go through so much with these meds, I am sure you have alot on your mind on what you want to do... It must really suck to have to stop and think of starting overagain, but maybe now your Dr will know what med will work best for you.. Ill keep you in my prayers

ttg1219- Welcome

Sorry I didnt get to everyone tonight...

AFM- Long story short the mini procedure I had today with the stitch in my Uterus was the WORSE pain ever with this whole IVF.... My stomach feels tender... Basically they had to go in numb my uterus with a needle which was pain in itself and then had to put a stitch which I could feel the tugs not fun but will be worth it if I get preggo... I have ET on Friday say lots of prayers I need them, I am transferring 2 ( if 2 make it to thaw) but with me not getting prego with the 1st FET it makes me alittle nervous.... I am going to think Positive and Hope that it ends up with a BFP...

[Lauren]

babyblu-did you do a 4dt?? if so can I ask why? My RE was talking about it..not sure yet but we will see

Moorebaby-I have the iphone but not the newest one! Happy Birthday! Hope all goes well tomorrow..I am anxious about my fert report! hopefully lucky number 7

Margi-You did IUI correct? So maybe the days for testing arent the same as the ivf ladies? Good luck to you...fingers crossed

Kynlee-You had like a cerclage? we might be transfering the same day!!!! Get some rest

Are Tammy and I the only ones doing transfers this week??? wait and Kynlee too I am excited trying to keep my PMA!!!!!!!!!!

[kynlee]

Lauren- No, I had to get a stitch cause they had a hard time transferring the eggs last month , my uterus was too curvy so they said they would have to put a stitch so that they could tug it to have a easier time inserting the eggs... If this makes any sense...??

[Lauren]

Kynlee-OH I was totally confused! I see what your saying now..well I hope it works and those embies get in safe and sound If I transfer friday it will be a day4 transfer...we'll see.

[riogirl71]

Moorebaby
hoping for good results!

kynlee - ouch! That sounds painful, hope you are feeling better!

Margi - glad I can make you smile, it sure helps this stressful time! Here is one more:


karin - woohoo for starting!

Lauren - keep you out of crazytown, more like join me in crazytown!!!

Tammy -

[baby_blu73]

babyblu-did you do a 4dt?? if so can I ask why? My RE was talking about it..not sure yet but we will see

Sorry, mine was a 5dt. My ER was 11.12 and ET 11.17 Wish I could've shined some kinda light on your situation... I would say, when in doubt, ask. And make sure they give you an answer you understand

[baby_blu73]

Sonya - Yeah, I'm officially losing my mind! What a ridiculous amount of time to make us wait for an u/s! This is way worse than the 2ww IMO... I'm about to start POAS every few days to make sure I'm still preggers. But seriously! UGH

Amanda - I'm so friggin excited for your BFP! YAY!!!!!!!!!

Tammy and Crystal- Wishing you a wonderful ET! Get lots of rest and enjoy being PUPO!!! Before you know it, you'll be getting your BFP!

Lauren - 7 eggs is so great! Take it easy. Can't wait to hear fert report!

Margi - I just feel a BFP coming for you... ... any day now!

Amesy and Nancy - I still don't know how I made it to my beta w/o POAS... I finally did 2 days after my 2nd beta just to see two pink lines on a HPT for the first time ever!

Ryann - I feel so awful for your setback. I can't image your disappointment and frustration. (((HUGS)))

Rio - SUPER follie update!!! I'm so excited for you! I'm doing a lot better after the OHSS symptoms started going away Thanks so much for the PMA, I'm still just as nervous about the u/s as I was about the betas... GEEZ! The stress is never ending, VERY WELCOME, but never ending!

Osi - twinges in the belly sounds like an expanding uterus to me! When is your pregnancy test (cuz they don't do betas at your clinic, right?)???

Tiff - WELCOME! Awesome support here as well as super great insight and info.

Meinemo - Hope you're holding up okay, you're in my thoughts and prayers.

Karin - You're getting so close!!!

Lou - I feel ya! My SIL started trying 6 months after we did and her son is 7 months old (bless his little heart, he's a doll!)... It's so crazy how so many of us have to jump through hoops, but some women's husbands just look at them and BAM! they're preggo. SIGH!

Moorebaby - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Congrats on the awesome bday present! Good luck tomorrow!

Kynlee - Saying a prayer for your ET on Friday!!! It's gonna be fantastic and you'll be relaxing... PUPO!!!

afm - Nothing new really to report. Feeling quite a bit better, but I look HUGE! My weight is up and down and up again, I'm just all over the place with this bloating. Back to work on Wednesday... 3 weeks stuck in the house and I'm kinda looking forward to the chaos again.


Prayers for all!!!

[karin1]

Klinger......congrats on your BFP! Looking forward to your beta!

Nancy....what about u? R u going to POAS? No pressure!

Tammy & Crystal........good lick on you ET!

Sonya....are u feeling ok after your scarenin the parking lot?

Margi......be patient.....your BFP will be here soon!

Ryann......I feel so bad for u....for all of it. The set back and All of the lupron you've been on. I don't know how u did all of that. I think that I would hVe to be sedated if I wer on 20 units a day. I was on 10 and was crying at the drop of a hat....not to mention the headaches. I hope that your RE can come up with something. You'll get there.(((((HUGS))))



ESTER.............HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!



Again...I apologize for the spelling.

[karin1]

Lou........not sure why u didn't t get the pm. I was just saying that I have a couple of ganirelix and if things go well....they're yours. I hope that your dog is ok. Mine had surgery and was in the hospital last Dec. He would have died and I am so grateful they saved him. It was $6800 and worth every penny. I know that things r difficult right now. Take it one day at a a time. You'll get through. Have faith....good things will come.

[DandMe]

I'm sorry that I can't do personals tonight. When I am at work, I just sneak a moment here and there to browse the boards but can't concentrate long enough to reply. I went to the movies tonight with my son's girlfriend (they just celebrated three years together!) and got home at 9:30. Ugh. Tired!!

I did get a chance to read all the posts.... and of course... am here with everyone... the ups and downs.

Thank you so much for asking about me after my twisty scary incident. I am still a bit upset at what happened but I don't think she meant to do it on purpose... at worst it was an impulsive action without thought and at best she really didn't see me and was embarrassed when she scared me. My back is fine - still aching but I am chalking that up to preg symptoms.

Oh, I did take another internet cheapie today just because I had about a hundred of them laying around and holy freak it was dark fast. I am not a good responder to IC's but I do have to admit it felt good. Going to my doctor tomorrow to get a standing beta order so I can bask in the good news. I'm good with the PMA.... I have my ultrasound date at last - the 17th. Until then I have nothing to do but become Crazytown's mascot.

[klinger13]

Ester - Happy Birthday!!! Have a wonderful day, a great baseline, & happy stimming!!! I'm thinking optimistically today that you'll get the go ahead for stims so I'm moving you down to Grow Follies Grow!!

Tammy & Crystal - Good luck with your ET's today!! Just a few more hours and you'll both be PUPO!! WOO-HOO!!

kynlee - Sorry you had so much pain yesterday but I'm excited that you're all set for Friday's ET!

Osi, Amesy, Nancy - Not much longer!!!

Margi - Hoping you see that 2nd line soon! We're all rooting for you girl!!

Sonya - Yes, that wait for an u/s I fear will be the worst part. We have yet to make it to the point where we see something good on the u/s after a BFP so I think that wait will be my real Crazytown. And I too will be regularly doing my internet cheapies during that wait.

Nancy....what about u? R u going to POAS? No pressure!

Oh I want to but I'm scared to. Scared it will be negative and then I'll be down. Today is 7dp5dt for me. I did order some internet cheapie tests but they haven't arrived yet. Once they arrive I'll probably test. It will be too hard to resist w/ them in my home. This is definitely crazy town. I hate the not knowing if things are good or not.

Nancy

[NancyB]

Hey PIO girls,

Are your hips sore? Mine are so bruised and sore. My right one has almost like a knot (though a small one).

[Meinemo]

Rio, I wanted to carry a baby and my partner did not, so it was an easy decision as to who would try getting pregnant. My partner also has a missing ovary and fibroids so easier not to mess with that since we had a choice. I chose to transfer fewer embryos because I didn’t want to have selectively reduce, but I think next time, I will take the chance of more embryos and then make a decision to reduce if I have to.

Margi, hang in there, girl. Let the beta set you free, either way. Believe me, we have all been there. Good luck.

Kynlee, your procedure sounds owie! Good luck with the transfer on Friday. You’re going to have to really rest after all this. I bet you’ll be sore for a while. What was your FET protocol?

AFM: I got AF on Sunday, and she is here EN FORCE. I am taking prescription ibuprofen (800 mg) and still have serious cramps and heavy bleeding/clots. My periods usually last 2 days and are light. I’m guessing the progesterone really thickened my uterine lining and now it’s time to clean it all out. Is it possible that there was some level of implantation since there’s so much more happening than usual? I talked with the nurse about next cycle, and my doc’s protocol is to take a break from IVF after a BFN; not sure when he wants to start up again, but I’ll know more after the 16th WTF appt. Oh, yeah, and yesterday morning, I got on a crying jag! I didn’t cry at all over the weekend; it really surprised me. I’m thinking it was my body reacting to lack of progesterone, but damn, I hate crying at work! I’m over it, today. My mood is back to normal.

I should sing, “We are the Champions” because jeez this process takes so much out of all of us. I’m going into my seventh week of pain/discomfort with this cycle. Even though it’s not excruciating pain all the time, the daily discomforts all added on top of each other (plus the anxiety) are so wearing. I’m so proud of all of you who have been through IVF more than once and had the stamina to continue. So proud of the BFP women, who stuck it out, despite the odds, and got what you wanted. Good luck and health to all of us!
