AFM.... I had my SnS this morning and my are said everything look s great! I was asking my nurse about her again to get some sort of info. She said that she's smart, has it together, always on time, answers every call and email AND is GORGEOUS! She said she's he favorite donor ever. I said....yeah...buT is she nice? She said...YES....super sweet. Made me feel so good! I beliece her because she's the kind of girl thAt would just say...yeah....she's great....and wouldn't elaborate otherwise. I said....yep...that's what we wAnt....smart and gorgeous. My ED has her SnS tomorrow and I will update as soon
as I can. This is my birthday weekend and we have a lot of stuff going on. My b-day is Sunday and i' m really not looking
forward to another without being pregnant. Now my goal is to given birth BEFORE i turn 40. I actually can't believe I just wrote that number when referring to myself.....YIKES!!!

I know that I missed so many of you. Please know that I am thinking of u and praying for all of u.


*Lots of Love*

Awesome news about your donor, Karin... that's exciting! Happy early birthday on Sunday! I turned 39 in September and started ttc when I was 36 and I thought THAT was old at the time!

Today is beta day for me but I've pretty much lost all my PMA. Last night I had major cramping. The worst/painful period cramps I've ever had. In fact, they woke me from sleep. I cramped off and on all night long.

This a.m. I did another HPT w/ FMU and it was a BFN.

I go in at 10:30 for my Beta and should have results by 3:30. We'll see but I'm not very hopeful now.

I know I need to do personals but not in the mood right now.

Nancy

I am still wishing you all the very best, Nancy. I always get cramps around AF time with a new BFP. Always freaks me out. I am hoping for good news. If things aren't perfect, know that we understand and have been in your shoes. BIG hugs and HIGH hopes!!

[DandMe]

Hi all. Quick update before I have to run out the door. Will do personals later...as I am sure lots will change by this afternoon! I had another SnS. All is looking good and growing bigger. I have several follies at 18mm now. So not sure how many more days I'll stim. Depends on my E2 levels, I'm sure...as I have alot of follies and I know it is a balancing act. I hope I will trigger by Sunday! I have a total of about 30 follies now. I'm kind of freaking out and making myself drink electrolyte water to stay hydrated! My response is typical for PCOS, so don't be envious. I know quality is better than quantity! I just need one or two good ones after PGD! PMA, PMA, PMA!!!! Will check back in later!

You are sounding MUCH happier these days - way to go!! I hear you on quality versus quantity, and a high ER is extremely painful, during and after. Keep us posted!

[eyes230]

Well it was another BFN for me.
Ivf 1-4 bfn
Fet 1-3 bfn

[Osi]

Margi - thanks, try and enjoy your weekend, I know it will be hard, I will be thinking of you!

Klingar - it has been hard not testing but I am so frighten of those sticks. I am looking forward to Sunday but not at the same time.

Eyes- I am sooo sorry, keep strong love! Are you going to discuss next steps with your er?

Karen - I had 50+ folls, got 44 eggs, 14 fertilised, got 2 five day early blasts transferred and two frozen on day 6. My ES levels were very high, so I had to cruise with no stims for 4 days to get them down as well as go to the hospital every day during stimming. I was find out on Sunday if it worked. I am confidence that you will get loads of great eggs.

AFM, went to sleep with a headache and won't up with one. Great, normally a nap helps!

Margi...I am so sorry for your BFN. I don't know the feeling of it as I've NEVER made it to being PUPO, but I can only imagine your heartbreak. Thanks for being so thoughtful as to check in on me while you are going through a tough time. I'm hanging in there. I've come out of my initial shock that my sister is having a baby and have totally engulfed myself in wedding planning....after all, I have less than 2 months before her big day. I did however just find out that out of everyone standing up in the wedding, including the bride, is pregnant. Fantastic, huh? I will just have to distract myself

Congrats on the BFPs!!!!! Klinger I am so happy for you!

I know I have sucked at personals lately, but I'm dealing with my sister's pregnancy and wedding the best way I can, and sometimes that means I get a little quiet. DH hates that about me. I have been reading every day though (many times a day actually) and cheering you all on.

AFM...I went yesterday for my 2nd opinion and left there more confused then EVER! After reviewing my medical history this new doc can't figure out why someone like me would be going through IVF. He thinks it is completely unnecessary. He encouraged me to finisht his cycle with my current RE because it would be a shame to waste my 4 embies and all this Lupron I have been pumped full of. He said If I get my BFP, I should come back and see him when I want my second and he thinks I will be successful with Clomid. If I get a BFN, he thinks I should go see him and start Clomid as well. He says I probably overstimmed because my ovaries are fine and I probably won't suppress because my ovaries are fine. He thinks that my only REAL issue is that I don't ovulate and that he can make me ovulate through Clomid. I'm just sitting here wondering why the old RE didn't recommend that route. She did offer us IUI or IVF, but we opted to skip IUI. Now I think I need a third opinion to see which way the third one will sway. Arg.

I go for another suppression check on 11/12. If I am suppressed I shoul dbe set for a 12/2 transfer (which means hopefully we will have 100% pregnancy for bride and bridesmaids at my sisters weddign! haha). If I'm not suppressedI think I am ready to throw my hand in the air and wait until the New Year. 1 full year with my current RE and never had a transfer. Doesn't seem right for someone who just turned 25.

Sorry to be a Debbie Downer!!!! I'll try to perk up and do some happier personals later.

[DandMe]

Well it was another BFN for me.
Ivf 1-4 bfn
Fet 1-3 bfn

So sorry to hear

[Amesy]

Hey Girlz,

This will be a quick update........................POAS this morning and it's positive!!!! early days but I'm over the moon!!!

will do personals later being taken out for dinner!!

HUGE HUGS TO YOU ALL FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!!

[Osi]

Amsey- that's great, congrats love!

[klinger13]

eyes - I'm so very sorry about your BFN. You've been through so much, I was really hoping this cycle was going to be it for you. You're in my thoughts!!

ryann - I'm sorry you've been going through so much too. I understand the being quiet - I get like that too, drives DH crazy but it's his one way of knowing something's really bother me. What a ridiculously tough decision you have now and oh my, a 3rd opinion. I just wish you'd get to transfer and get your BFP - it is terrible that after almost a year, you are still waiting to actually do a transfer. UGH!!!

amesy - I am so, so happy for you!! Congratulations on your BFP!! Enjoy your celebratory dinner!! I know you and Osi said in England they do things a bit different. So now that you got your BFP, do they now have you go in for blood work?

Osi - I wish those darn headaches you're having would clear out!!

margi - you are so strong and you're such a sweetheart. You're so kind to be thinking of everyone when you've just been dealt a bad hand. I hope you have a good time this weekend at your reunion and take the time to be miserable. I know I sure would. Know that we're all thinking of you. And to answer your question, I go back on Monday for my next draw.

Chelle - I'm so glad your doctor agreed to fit you in the 10th for the hysteroscopy. That was really nice of him so you didn't get delayed!

karen - Rooting for a bunch of good quality, PGD approved embies for you!!

[TammyS]

Oh gosh girls...my news is really not that exciting. I feel really bad for everyone getting all excited over nothing. lol It's probably more of a rant than anything...heck, I dont even know how to categorize it. It is such a long story that I dont even feel like typing it all out right now, but will later today. I promise it is not that exciting.

Right now, I just want to jump on here and do a few personals...before I take yet another nap. I am sooo tired these last couple of days and thankful that Zach has been easy peasy and napping well, too. Bill thinks he is coming down with something...hope that is not why we are all sooo tired. Would be very ironic since the worse flu of our lives started the day we got a BFP with Zach at 11dpo. Bill and I were hanging over the toilet, crying both happy tears for the positive poas, and sad tears cause we were both sooo sick. lol It's funny looking back on it now...but it sure wasnt then. I was so sure I'd lose Zach. And, no that wasnt my story. lol Anyhow...

Eyes...I am sooo sorry. Have you thought about trying a different RE? Sometimes a change can help. My heart just breaks for you. Do you know yet what the next step is? I'm just so sorry. Big Hugs.

Amesy...Congrats!!! Woohooo!!! That is awesome news! I know you are over the moon.

Nancy...Gosh, I really hope those pee sticks are wrong. I want this sooo bad for you and am just shocked. I am so sorry that I talked you into poas...I was so sure you'd get good news. Hoping and praying for you!

Lauren...Sorry you arent feeling well. Could be anything...but I'm sure it is nothing to worry about...though you might want to call the doc and let them know, just to be safe. I started pineapple last night at 5dpo...which if I had had a 5dt then it would have been the day anyways...and implantation starts tonight/tomorrow...so perfect. Starting it sooner would be all the better, but we forgot, so oh well. Yes, I have been eating Bill's chocolate bday cake too...again, oh well. lol Speaking of forgetting...we forgot to do my progesterone shot last night!!! We normally do it at 9pm and it was 10:39pm when Bill came running into the room yelling, "OMG, your shot, your shot!!!" I almost laughed at him...he was sooo scared that we had screwed everything up. I explained that being late wasnt ideal, but not a huge deal, and Thank God we did remember when we did. I have gone back to resetting my alarm on my cell every day again. Glad to hear that you were being on top of things with your embryologist and setting her straight! WTG! lol Also glad that your near miss was not an accident. Whew.

Ryann...I am sooo angry with your whole situation...it is just crazy. You go to as many second, third, fourth opinions as you need...till you get the answers that make sense to you. You deserve to get this show on the road and I hope and pray the lupron is doing its job now and you get your transfer soon. I suspect that once you finally get the transfer that you will be pregnant and not have to worry about it again...for awhile anyways. I agree with the second doc...do the transfer...dont waste those embies. You are hopefully almost there and will get your transfer and be pregnant with your sister and gang on her wedding day. I know exactly how you feel...my "news" is actually very similar. It sucks. Big Hugs. I too understand getting quiet...as you know...I get quiet on here when I'm not feeling the PMA. Praying for great results on the 12th.

Osi...hormonal headaches throughout pregnancy...are very very common. Mine never went away...sorry to tell you...till the 3rd trimester, I think. It is possibly a huge symptom for you...and I really think you are sooo pregnant. You should poas now. ::twisting arm::

Karen...sounds like you will be triggering tonight or tomorrow night! Woohooo! Soo exciting!

Karin...Your ED sounds fantastic. It's too bad that you cant meet her. I know I would want to. You get to see pictures...so I dont see why you cant, ya know? I am sooo excited for you and I just know you will be pregnant before 40! Happy early birthday.

Leorira...Still dancing...geesh she really is a wicked ol witch, isnt she?

Margi...Sending more hugs...and want you to know that you are always on my mind and in my prayers. Have a wonderful trip...you sooo deserve it.

Kynlee...Hope all went well at your ET. Please let us know how everything went! How many did you transfer?

Karian...Yep, 4 injections a day was what I was doing, too. Sucks dont it? It will be all worth it though. Sounds like you will be triggering soon...Sat or Sunday?

Rio...unbelievable about your nephews wife. My story is similar. I just cant bring myself to talk about it yet. I am still pretty upset. Good Luck tomorrow...you know I am hoping and praying for the best ER ever for you!

Sonya...Good Lord...I would have just died hearing those results. Geesh! Fantastic new beta! Woohooo!!! How many more are you going to do? I think it is great...and will try to do the same, if I ever get pregnant again. lol

Lou...Hope you are having fun! ::wink wink::

Chelle...So glad that you got the SIS done and found the polyp now and can get in sooo quickly and get it removed. What a nice RE.

Cheri...How did your SnS go today?

I'll be back later...I need a nap now. Luck and love to all! xoxo

Tammy – Hope you’re not getting sick!

AFM – Nothing to report. Got my meds in on Wednesday. They are all inventoried and tucked away til I start Lupron on the 18th. Go back to St. Louis for my TET and Sonohyst on Monday. Gonna ask where is my calendar when I’m there. I have been obsessed checking the mail since last Friday when the secretary said she would get it out to me. Hope everyone has a great weekend! Baby dust and prayers to all!

[Osi]

Tammy- lol, I can't and DH won't let me! Just two more sleeps to go

Klingar - me too! No blood test as part of the procedure, however I am sure we could get a free blood test by going to the doctors.

[NancyB]

BFN for me.
