Looking for November Cycle Buddies

[Blessedmomof1thruIVF]

Krisnjer- Okay I just check my posting and I don't see the one that I wrote... I think I must of gotten kicked off or something before it got submitted but ... CONGRATS!! Girl Don't stress! You're Pregnant! Enjoy it and take it a day at a time.

Leorira11 - LOL! During our first cycle we had to get tested 3 times for HIV - I know because they had us sign the conset form eachtime. I was like WTF - I know I don't have it so why do they keep testing me! It never dawned on me that it was for our insurance. I guess it does make sense.

Egg- CONGRATS on the new donor!

AMF - Still on Lupron ... day 5…

Hello to all my girls (and my guy) Shrukenstick? haha... have to go back and look at that name!?

WELLLLL AVM-- Today was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! RE said lining was heavenly and we are GO FOR LAUNCH!
FET on November 10th with 3 Frosties, I am through the moon! Tomorrow starts the dreaded Progesterone shots and DH is freaking out a little! He isn't sure how he is going to stick that massive needle in my back side and gosh I hope he doens't pass out doing it! The Nurse even drew circle back there so he knew exactly where to stick the needle... just so freaking funny to see the look on his face!

They are telling me my 1st Beta will be on the 16th of November and 2nd Best on the 18th. I thought it was a 2ww, that's what I remember!? Anyway, I guess it's a week so that's weird... Anyway-- I WILL be a POAS DIva HAHA... I am going to buy a supply this weekend.

I am closely watching all you girls (and guy) and like SD I will be posting tons of personals once I am stuck in bed for 2 days.

Love and sticky STICKY baby dust to you all!!!

Krisnjer-- I almost FORGOT!!! GOOD LUCK on the Beta tomorrow!!!! GOOD FEELINGS on this one! Before long we will be talking about pregnancy!!!

LET US KNOW ASAP!!!!!!

Hey ladies. Hope this day found you all well.

I'm just stopping in to say hello. Started stims tonight. I'm exhausted and think I will head to bed.

Hugs to you all!

[karenvancouverisland]

i'm kinda freaking out cause i have lower back pain and i'm very worried it's AF sign

on the flip side, i was so exhausted at dinner time i started laughing and crying ...my dh thinks i m a loon. i hope that's not just the estrace and prometrium talking... wishing it's some beta hcg starting instead..

krisnjer- can't wait to hear about your beta tomrrow! and rio- i'll get back to you tomorrow about the DHEA, as yes i did have improvment..i just have the attention span of a gnat right now and need to get to bed soon!

[leorira11]

Karen - just remember that almost all symptoms are symptoms of both a BFP and a period.... good luck!

SD - I know. I *hate* stories of people who stopped trying/decided to adopt and then magically found out they were pregnant.... ugh. I'm a religious Jew and one 'friend' gave me a book on Judaism and Infertility. What a ton of crap! One of the 'inspiring' things this book says is to remember that Sarah (wife of Abraham) never concieved and then miraculously birthed Isaac when she was 97 years old.... thanks. But I'm not going to wait until I'm 97 and hope for a miracle! Not really a helpful story

I'm not very good with personals.... sorry! When I'm in my 2ww and on here everyday, checking obsessively for updates, then I'll have time. As for now - back to work! Have a great day everyone!

Annashope: How did all go with the FET yesterday?! Did I miss a post? I sent you prayers yesterday. Hopefully you are just resting up comfortably and letting those embabies snuggle in(how many?)!!! You are PUPO!! I am so happy for you. Please, please take care of yourself. Time to pamper!

[margi26]

Leorira: You made me laugh...not an easy thing to do as I sit hear waiting for my nurse to call with my (most likely) BFN. 97...yeah...not too helpful a story. Very glad no one gave me that book.

[karenthescorpio]

sha-shawnee & danarius- sending you both a huge welcome. You'll love the advice, encouragement and support. We all "get it".

Margi- thinking of you today and waiting to hear good news!!!

Egg- yeah for a new donor. What a blessing! I'm so happy for you. We look forward to hearing your cycle dates.

Karenvancouver- Its hard not to over analyze everything during the 2ww! Stay positive and visualize those babies snuggling into your lining!

SD- I know those stories of miraculous conceptions are not the right thing to say to a women doing IVF...even when it's true. I have a friend who just found out she was preggers after one IVF loss, one IVF baby and now one coming au natural! And she wasnt' even trying as her baby is 9 months old!!!!

Annashope- how are you doing post ET?

Rio- Great news about your follies and upcoming ER. Mine is most likely to be Mon/Tues.

JenMink- good luck with your FET. I don't know anyone who got cancelled. Stay positive!!!!

Bichonmom- how's the 2ww madness? PUPO! Yeah!

Shrunkin- The worst comment I got about IVF was from my own mother (who herself struggled with IF back in the 70's). When I told her we HAD to do IVF to have our own baby she replied, "you sure you want to do this"...and I said, "mom, i'm not getting an elective nose job. It's this or adoption". I was very pissed with her...and she's pretty much been like that through the whole process, our loss of the twins and even with us restarting. UGH. Why can't we pick our parents? My first RE asked the dumbest question the first 10 seconds we met him by asking "so what brings you here". I was like, "ummmm...we are having trouble getting pregnant...are we in the right place?". Needless to say, he isn't my doctor anymore!!!!

AFM- went for b/w and u/s. All looks good. Follies are finally growing in size...about have of them between 11-13mm. I'm kinda scared about how many I have (28 total). I envision a very very sore "area" post ER. My last cycle I had 24 and wow...that was a rough recovery! I'll have to put my PMA hat on and try to envision an easy breezy recovery!
I know I missed some folks...I'll do more later. I've gotta run the dog out...she's 16 and giving the "look".

[karenvancouverisland]

hi all... karen/scorpio- i'm curious if you have frosties from your last cycle? you make lots of eggs!- that's wonderful being sore is probably only a small price to pay to get that baby in your arms! the most # of mature eggs i've ever made in a cycle was 9.. so i'm feeling very positive for you!!

and krisnjer..waiting to hear your beta today! and margi- hang in there! you may very well be getting wonderful news today

2nd Beta --- 141.6! and my spotting stopped yesterday. My ultrasound is scheduled for 11/23. They did not want to see me for a 3rd Beta so I guess that is good news.

Sticky baby dust to all the ladies in the 2ww!

YAY!!!!

[karenthescorpio]

Krisnjer- yeah for a great beta! Congrats momma!

Karenvancouver- my last retrieval I had 24 eggs, of which 17 were mature. By day 5 I had 9 that looked good or great. Of those only three were normal per the PGD results. So I have one great embie frozen. Hoping to add more! You are right, a small price to pay to get my healthy baby!
Xo Karen.

[riogirl71]

Dang I just lost my whole post, stupid thing.

Karen scorpio - SHOW OFF! I am so excited you have so many follicles! You will have great eggs and great embryos! We will be 2WW buddies! Yea I want to trade my mom and MIL for a more supportive pair. So sick of the lack of support. Seriously?

Karen - vancouver - attention span? What attention span, huh, who what where? Alright too busy peeing on sticks? I really think DHEA is making this cycle great!

Margi - I wrote on the fall board, so sorry.

kris - awesome beta!!!!

SD - yeah - how dare those people get pregnant having fun and sex? Dang I am jealous too!

Alright! We went for another SnS and RE thinks at least 6 mature eggs! Wow! I had the most 4 mature in past cycles! So I have all 10 follies between 14.7 and 17.7 mm so I am hoping for more mature eggs! Plus some smaller ones that might still mature. I can't believe it, she seemd really excited and I am so happy! I trigger tonight at 1 am and go for retrieval on Saturday at noon! WOOOOHOOOO! I can't believe it. I don't get a beta until 16 days after retrieval so I might POAS this time - I never have before my beta... oh and she was saying menopur stings because itis made out of urine and so is HCG shot - gee thanks for the visual... injecting pee on my belly - nice! Girsl I am so excited but also so scared! I need all your mature eggs dance and healthy dust! I am so sore.
