Fall 2010 Cycle Group

[TammyS]

Good morning girls...
I didnt sleep all night...so stressed out. I didnt get AF yesterday, though it tried to come, all day. It is starting now though. So I am going to have to call the clinic and reschedule for tomorrow. I am pist that Bill is going to have to take a day off because of it.

Anna...Hoping and praying for a BFP today. Please let us know as soon as you can. I'll be checking the board all day. lol

Rio...What is going on dear? Please call your doc and see what they say. Did you poas today? I cant wait till we find out how many you are pregnant with.

Sonya...Good Luck today at your ultrasound...hope you get to hear the heartbeat(s) at this point...and not just see them. lol

Amanda...1 more day till your ultrasound! Can wait to hear all about yours as well.

Nancy...not much longer till your WTF appt. Do you have your list of questions ready?

Kynlee...I am so so very sorry about your BFN. I would be asking them alot of questions as well. I still dont understand how and why they are putting back 6-cell embryos on day 5....(unless there is a misunderstanding). On day 5...your embryos should be blasts...which means they are over 32 cells, if I am not mistaken....someone correct me here, if I am wrong. I hope they arent putting you through all of this and taking your money...and misleading you that a 6 cell is good on day 5. I hope that it is just a misunderstanding. Big Hugs dear!

Karin...I hope you get a great report this morning and that they take you to a 5 day transfer. Cant wait to hear the news!

Karen...Hope you're getting lots of rest, PUPO.

Ester...I am so sorry that you are also in pain. Please take it easy and feel better soon. Do you plan to poas?

Lou...So glad to hear that Roxy is beginning to feel a bit better. Also glad to hear the DH is going to get the surgery and hope it helps. Sucks that he'll be laid up for Thanksgiving, though. I dont know know to read your chart, but am hoping and praying for a BFP. I do know that temps should remain high and get higher towards when AF starts, right? So hoping to see that happen. Fingers crossed.

Leora...I like going by first names...it makes everyone seem more real...not that your a figment of my imagination or anything. lol Cant wait to see your picture, too! We all know each other by first names because some of us have been cycling together since Jan '08 and others are on my FB friends list. Like Rio is Andrea...though I like Rio most of the time...since that is what I called her for the first 2 yrs that I knew her. lol Klinger is Amanda...I use Klinger when our other Amanda's are posting, too.

Heather...How horrible! I am sooo sorry that that happened to you. Yikes!

Margi...Sounds like a busy couple of days you got going on there. Good Luck with IUI tomorrow...and BD'ing too! lol I just know that this is going to work for you and that we are going to be pregnant together soon. Fingers crossed.

Karian...Congrats PUPO! Rest up! Let DH wait on you hand and foot.

Lauren...Your PMA is rubbing off on me. Thank you. Glad to hear that your football widow days are almost over for the year. I am a July-Aug widow when Bill goes into major overtime...and 2 months is difficult...so I cant imagine 5 months a year like you do. Yikes. I hope you get some straight answers from your clinic...such bull crap.

Chelle...I'm so sorry that your E2 level was too high to get started. That really sucks. I am sure it will be fine to start next week. Glad that your hysterscopy went well.

Cheri...How are you doing PUPO? I am just thrilled that they put back a good 4-cell 2-day embryo...cant wait to hear your good news. Do you plan to poas?

For everyone else...much love and baby dust!

[klinger13]

Sonya - Good luck today at your u/s!! I know it's going to go great and I can't wait to hear how many little ones you've got growing in there!

annashope - Good luck today with your beta! Hoping for great results!

ester - Congrats on being PUPO, rest up, and keep the gatorade and salty foods going!

rio - I'm sorry you're having that pain. Definitely get it checked out!

leorira (Leora) - I'm Amanda and yep, Ester is Moorebaby. If people gave me their real name in addition to their screen name, you'll notice on the list that their real name is in parentheses next to their screen name.

Nancy - Thanks, I'm just so excited for tomorrow morning! At this time tomorrow I'll be staring at the clock waiting to leave for the doctor's.

karin - Hope you get a great report on your embies and you'll still be on track for ET on Friday!

lou - I'm so glad that Roxy is doing well and that you got your HSG scheduled. Of course, a BFP and not having to even do the HSG would be even better.

Tammy - still doing the AF dance here. I think your plan for next cycle sounds great!

baby_blu - How are you doing? Are you having another u/s today?

Good morning girls...
I didnt sleep all night...so stressed out. I didnt get AF yesterday, though it tried to come, all day. It is starting now though. So I am going to have to call the clinic and reschedule for tomorrow. I am pist that Bill is going to have to take a day off because of it.

We must have been posting at the same time so I'll stop my AF dance. Stinks that she delayed her arrival long enough where Bill has to take time off though. What a witch!!

[TammyS]

Lou...I just took a look at your chart...and like I said I dont really know how to read it...but doesnt that look like you may have a BFP?! Are you poas yet???

[Osi]

Hi guys

Still catching up with what going on, even though I have not been posting. I am praying for you all.

Afm. Been getting lower backaches and tummy aches, not sure if it's my ovaries reducing back to size or an infection. Is this normal? Went to see my new nephew last night. He is sooo cute, can't wait to babysit.

[Lauren]

Lauren; It's wonderful to hear how you are doing. It's great that you are indulging and distracting yourself. My mom taught me that a person can be happy AND sad at the same time - that you don't have to feel just one emotion at a time. This was after my father passed away. She said that every time a grandchild was born, or a christmas rolled around, that part of her was very sad and mourned his absence, but another part of her enjoyed the excitement and celebration. She even made herself admit to herself and others that there were some things she appreciated about her 'single life' like never having to make dinner at a certain time, or a certain way, always watching what she wanted on tv, going on vacation when she wanted, and letting her dog sleep on the bed. She is honest when she says she'd gladly give these things up if she could have my father back, but she said it was important for her to acknowledge some of the freedom she had after he died. I've clung onto her example every time I've had a loss... and to be honest, my DH and I have a pretty sweet childless life planned out if this whole thing doesn't pan out!

[karenthescorpio]

Sonya-thinking of you today.

[rypell1985]

Lauren....Good for you for shopping and spoiling yourself a bit It is much deserved. I'm glad you have some plans to move forward. I have heard good things about acupuncture as well and plan on looking into...when I have a free minute! Thanks for checking on me, I'm doing well, just never have time to post personals! I read every single day though!

Tammy...I'm so sorry AF is screwing up your schedule! She is quite the wicked witch.

Leora...SOOOOO glad you are on your way again! As for our names....some of us have been together for quite awhile now and just remember eachothers' names from one post they may have said it in. That's so funny that your username came from your aol name when you were 11. I always had the same one (from probably about the same time) but it was my last name. When I got married I had to change everythign!

Margi...YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY for trigger! I will keep everything crossed and send up an extra prayer or 2 for yoU!

Sonya....AWESOME beta! I can't wait to hear how your US goes!!!!!!!!!

Ester...I was told when my boxer first came home that she looked like she had hip problems...she is now 18 months and has NO sign of problems whatsoever...I sure hope the same goes for your Roscoe!

Rio...You better take care of yourself lady! You need to be healthy to chase after your 2 year old while preggo!!! (pretend there is some flashy blinky here fo ryou !!) Puppy is good but driving me CRAZY! He is so different from the first dog and I don't think I was fully prepared for that! I thought it would be a cake walk, but it certainly is NOT!

karian...Congrats on being PUPO!

AFM.... For those of you who have known me here for a while, I need to ask for prayers for my dad again. He isn't doing so well and he is scheduled for heart surgery again on December 1. This time they are removing his pacemaker/defib and all the leads that go into the heart and rewiring a new one. This will hopefully get the upper and lower chambers of his heart working together. This is just 2 days before my FET and 30 days before my sisters' wedding so everything HAS to go well. Any prayers you got in you would be greatly appreciated!

I'm sorry ladies, but I have 30 twelve year old about to enter the room, so that;s all I have time for today!

[DandMe]

Sonya-thinking of you today.

Thanks, kiddo...but .. how are YOU doing? How's the tummy???

[Cheri76]

Good morning to all!

Ester - Congrats on being PUPO!!! Soooo happy for you!! Now the fun part starts where crazy sets in and every twinge, pull and cramp feels like the best or worst symptom depending on your PMA at the time. Hope your OHSS stays under control and you start feeling better. Or maybe I should hope that it gets worse indicating a BFP? Not sure... but good luck either way!!

Sonya - Good luck on your ultrasound! I will be checking in to see how everything went!

Rio - Andrea??? In my mind, I am picturing you as a cute, little Brazilian who looks amazing in her itsy bitsy bikini on the beach so no, you cant be Andrea. You have to stay Rio!! Hoep you are starting to feel better!!

Tammy - Am I going to POAS??? HAHA.. OF COURSE!! It's just a matter of time. I have a whole collection of brands and sensitivity to get me started and keep me going. My hubby hates it, but it helps me so whats the harm? Not sure when I should start testing since I know that trigger is gone (or was never there) and this 2 day transfer has me a little unsure. I think maybe Monday? I am going away for the holiday so I want to have an idea before I go.

Margi - Im thinking of you girl and happy that everything is coming together for you. With all that BD and acupuncture that you have planned, it sounds like you are going to be one relaxed lady!

Klinger - YAY that your ultrasound is so close!! You must be getting so excited!

Lou - Im happy to hear that Roxy is doing well after her surgery. I am hoping that you do have your BFP doing it the fun way. Soooo much better than injections. I am going to PM you about the follistim.

Anna - Good luck today!!

Karen/Karian - To all my fellow PUPO/Crazytown ladies... hope that you are all as relaxed as can be and resting up!!

Kynlee - Im so sorry to hear of your BFN. It sucks!! Hoping that you are finding peace and comfort

Lauren - A girl after my own heart!!! I love shopping and getting pampered and that's exactly how I dealt with my BFN before. Really, there is no better therapy out there. I'm glad that you are staying an active member of this group and your enthusiasm is contagious.

AFM - Kinda weirded out about what a 2 day transfer does before it implants somewhere. Does it just float around, growing along, minding its own business? Does it scout out a good location and wait its turn to jump in? LOL! I have always transfered a 5 day that was looking to implant immediately. Anyway, just going about my day and staying as stress free as possible. Actually, given that I dont have huge expectations (HUGE PMA, just not high expectations) its actually making me more relaxed. POAS coming up in just a couple of days. I am going to Washington DC for the holiday so I want to know before hand, but my official beta is not until I come back. UGH!

[karenthescorpio]

Tammy - yeah for AF!!!!!

Lou- I'm sending you BFP vibes. This really is just THE perfect circumstance for you to achieve a pregnancy naturally after all the crap you have gone through!!!  Sending you and Miss Roxy a big hug! 

Lauren - yeah for shopping and treating yourself well!  The acupuncture fees sound right.  Sending you and DH good thoughts for a great cycle ahead!

Osi- glad to hear from you. I'm not sure about what you Re feeling. Although I imagine the ovaries reducing can cause some of this. Xoxo

Ester - yeah on being PUPO with me!  We are almost there!  Rest up and dream of your little embies!  

Annashope- thinking of you. Xoxo

Kynlee- I'm so sorry. This just sucks. Xoxo 

AFM- just laying low. Trying to lay down as much as I can!!!  Have two small errands to run today and that is it for me!!!!!  Big hugs to all!!!



  

[TammyS]

Ryann...Ugh! So sorry to hear about your Dad...the timing is horrible, too. Sending lots of prayers up for you and him.

Sonya...What time is your u/s and what time zone, too? lol Are you 3 hours behind us East Coasters? lol

Cheri...LOL. Of course, what was I thinking?! Monday would only make you 9dpo...I'd say much too early...and wouldnt try before Wednesday at the earliest. Funny, cause I picture them floating around waiting to jump into my lining, too. lol

Lauren...You sound like me...I like to indulge just a bit everytime I get bad news, too. Although, I did well this last time and only bought a few things for Zach and me.

Osi...Always good to hear from you. I would think that your ovaries should be about back to normal now...but I really dont know. I would definitely call your doctor and let them know.

[DandMe]

AFM.... For those of you who have known me here for a while, I need to ask for prayers for my dad again. He isn't doing so well and he is scheduled for heart surgery again on December 1.

I'm sorry ladies, but I have 30 twelve year old about to enter the room, so that;s all I have time for today!

rypell.... sorry about your father. Hopefully the new pacemaker will make a world of difference and your father will feel wonderful soon. It's difficult to endure ART when you have outside stress, so make sure to take care of yourself during this difficult and worrisome time. Enjoy your day and know that we are sending prayers to you.

[DandMe]

Tammy - Am I going to POAS??? HAHA.. OF COURSE!! It's just a matter of time. I have a whole collection of brands and sensitivity to get me started and keep me going.

I hope you enjoy your trip to Washington. I've only had blasts transferred as well, but I've heard tons of success stories with early transfers. Someone told me that the interior of the uterus was sticky like peanut butter. So I assume your little bean will just find a nice squishy, warm wet place to hang and germinate. Or gestate. What's the word here? LOL Your dpo always starts the day after your ER, so if you get your ER on a Monday, then Tuesday is 1DPO. You didn't get a trigger? So it's a natural FET? That's awesome. You can consider 9dpo to be pretty early testing.. and tell DH that hpts are tax writeoffs. LOL
