Margi- So sorry... Glad you are starting right back up and staying positive.... We will be pregnant for the new year

Leora- Stay positive, many people have got pregnant with FET... I will say a pray that everything works out

Ryan- Good Luck today, You will soon be pupo

[rypell1985]

I'm PUPO ladies! Holy crap!!!! I have one 8-cell and one 7-cell, 3-day embies snuggling up inside me!!! We lost an 8-cell and a 7-cell in the thaw, so we have no more frosties left. But that's ok, because this is it! RE said I WILL be pregnant. Hope she's right! Thanks for all your support...time to be a bum for the next 4 days

Ryann - I'm sorry two of your frosties didn't survive the thaw, but a giant YAY for being PUPO with 2 great looking embies!! You rest up now...you're going to need your rest for when we're celebrating your BFP!!

Leora - thank you thank you! Oh to be dumb and happy and not know anything is a blessing sometimes, that's how I was on my first US 3 years ago! I am so glad you told me that at 5.5 weeks you didn't see anything but a gestational sac either. And if it helps, I am jealous of your friend too! I of course wish her the best but how awesome to get preggers twice in a row with IVF? And single embryo transfer! Argh! I had to put 4 in! Your frosties seem of very high quality and they should both make the thaw perfectly! Your day is almost here! Of course I know it is still 5 million years in IVF time but it will be here soon, it is all coming into place for you and I am so happy and excited for you and DH!

karin - congrats on a super high beta!!!

kynlee - I laughed out loud when you said the baby is going to come out loving gatorade! So glad to see you have a date for your fresh cycle, pls be super careful on getting OHSS again lots of prayers for a great cycle and NO OHSS!!!

Amanda - when is your next US? How was th transfer to OB?

Ryann - CONGRATULATIONS YOU ARE PUPO!!!! 8 and 7 cell sounds awesome!

Tammy how are you feeling PUPO momma? So happy you got to transfer 4 little beans! YEAY for bump buddies! Are you resting up? Are you POAS yet ? hihihi

Margi great tip from Leora, have you looked into that? How are you holding up? Huge hugs!

Cshell - super good luck with ER and let us know how many eggies!

I think I got so bummed yesterday cause my OB was so exhausted and out of it and I think he thought I was further along so when he only saw the sac at 7mm he seemed disappointed which for me crazy woman means the world is coming to an end! So when I asked if it was ok he said let me check the dates again, and he got all confused then finally said you are 5w4d and it is normal. By then I was already in crazytown thinking bad news and the sky is falling. So I appreciate all the support here and I read up more and it seems it will be ok. I still go from praying and rubbing my belly and thinking I will have a baby in 8 mos to thinking I should not get attached so it doesn't hurt too much if it is not good. But you girls are right and thank you for trying to keep me out of crazytown, I had a nice strong beta, one nice sac in the uterus for the time, no bleeding and everything else will hopefully be there at the next US! Thank you again I could not do this without your support! Now for my 3 million day wait until the next US!

[klinger13]

Karin - Holy high beta batman!! Wow, I can't wait until your first u/s! When is it?? I'm all ready to stalk!

Rio - Yeah, it's hard to stay out of crazytown but you can do it. That next u/s is going to make a world of difference in how you're feeling about things, I promise! And I really disliked the OB I saw Wednesday. In addition to a general lack of niceties, they basically brushed off the fact that I've had 4 sugeries on my cervix and were unwilling to talk about precautions that they don't "believe" in. Their whole practice has a blanket approach to cervical issue and it's a wait & see approach. But I saw a MFM yesterday who is a cervix specialist and I definitely feel like I'm in good hands now. He's going to put in a transabdominal cerclage in early January and he offered to take me on for my OB care too YAY!! So I'll go see him for my next check-up & u/s on the 16th, my first trimester screening on the 27th, and then do my TAC surgery on or around 1/3.

Rio - My meds are going great. TY For asking . Nope I was not not icing my belly first, but now I'm thinking I will have to. It is starting to sting more and more.. OMG you have a crazy ex wife in the pic too! I swear, I am thinking of writing a book with a collaberation of women's stories about their spouses ex wife. It's amazing !! Keep up the PMA, but I do understand not wanting to get excited. Heck, I haven't even done ER or ET and I am trying not to get too excited. So I think its normal. and for the ER to say its normal, awesome. !! HUGS to you

Heather - omg you too! Baby Mama Drama! Those people are crazy. Too old? Ha! You're at a great age to have a child. Heck, my husband is 52 and wants nothing more than have a child with me. And my ex wife has been obsessed if I am pregnant or not. It started a two day email war between her, myself, and her husband. .... Heather... my husband has a 21 year old daughter who is High Functioning Autistic. I swear, we need to talk. In fact when we took emergency custody of her when she was 16 she was undiagnosed. Oh the stories! .. :::sigh:: I am so sorry you lost your daughter. I understand not talking about all of that afterwards on facebook. Well I'm on there if you ever want to just chat.

Lou - have a great time out of town.

Karenthescorpio - I like that idea of a secret group on FB. If you'd like to add me send me a PM and I'll tell you my name

Lauren - ah your ex wife is psycho too! The stuff they do is amazing huh?? maybe we should take karenthescorpio's advise and have a prive FB pages for crazy ex wives ! And I dont think you're the only husband who does not give a crap about meds. If I was to do my meds in my living room with my TV on, I'd lose my husband to the TV. So PS3 games and TV.. its crack for those guys!

Fanny - I am so glad you posted! It's always great to get those feelings out ! My heart breaks for you. The only encouraging words I can give you is have faith. Perhaps there is a child who has been abandoned who is the perfect child for you. I hope everything works out great for you.

Ryann - YES!!! PUPO !! Congratulations!! Start eating that pineapple and make sure those cute babies do well inside!! HUGS! ..gosh I'm just as excited!! YAY!

Leora - wow Isreal. That is one place I'd like to visit! What major city do you live close to? Congrats to your friend on her BFP on the FET. I hope all goes well with the thawing of your precious ones! Sunday is not that far away!!!

Mishell - I agree, we need to do a closed FB. That would be neat to have you! I wish you great luck in the ER today!!

Kyleen - keep that PMA and excitement up! January and February is not far away!! You Go Girl!

Margi - oh sweetheart. I am so sorry. I am glad you're keeping a good PMA. We are with you the whole way! Big Hug !!

Karin - Wow! Awesome numbers. ! Fantastic!!!


AFM - I had my first RE appointment (well i say RE but I only see the nurse lol) today since I have started the meds. All I have to say is holy crap! There were a lot of follies growing !! I couldn't believe how many. She said everything was looking great and that I should be prepared for more backpain and tiredness. I go back Monday for another US and then we'll talk about ER and ET dates ! I can't believe I am going through this! It's been a dream for years. Okay.. now I'm crying.. happy tears of course...

I have to tell you ladies, my step daughter who will be 17 on the 15th is cracking me up. She has been so emotional this whole week. I know its not her AF because she writes her AF dates on the dry erase board to keep track. I told her how they call my injections crazy juice. She said, "Great, you take the crazy juice and I get the side effects". She is so stinkin cute! We have a dry erase board that is called our "feelings" board. We put the date and what we feel today. That way it keeps everyone informed. She has been writing about how excited she is to be a big sister. She is the baby of 3 girls. Makes me happy!

Well I hope everyone has a great weekend. See some of you on FB. If you want my name just send me a message. Hugs to you all.

-Chelle-

oh side note before I post this. I found it helpful to copy all the text before I submit my post. That way if it doesn't go through I still have all of it.

CANCELLED!!!!!! Stupid # was 23 today. I told my RE that if I did not make the secretary get him on Monday he would never know about this issue, so if I am ok with it he should be too. He said I did get him because I knew something was wrong and I was right to do so. UGH! He said to do the trigger tonight anyway because it will release the eggs and make my period come normally (I HOPE)! He said please have protected intercourse. I told him I was going to get a TV show soon lol. He said that is in the back of his mind. At my S&S today everything was perfect!! there were 12 measurable at 20 or so mm. Lining was perfect too! And I know there were a few more eggs on left because they always have a hard time seeing the left. I asked why I can not just go for IUI. I mean seriously, they make perfect embryos and put 4 in and it does not work. So even if there are 12 eggs, what are the odds of more than one working??? I really wish I just sucked it up last weekend and did not ask to see him. I feel so much better today, so I know by Sunday I would have been fine for surgery. I don't know what I want to do next. The thought of doing this in January with 6AM appointments and snow really makes me want to just wait. I have done back to back cycles since September of 2009. In between I am on the pill. Maybe it would just work on it's own if I actually tried? I just hate waiting. I just turned 36, and I would like a baby before my 37th. I assume I will just start again ASAP.

[riogirl71]

Lauren - I cannot believe you went through all this and you are cancelled, my heart breaks for you, I am so sorry. Sure go sex and sign up with TLC cause it will be Lauren, 12 and counting but really, I am so sorry for the news. I am hoping that means a BFP for you in January!

[ChelleDe]

Lauren, I am so sorry girl! There's not much else I can say! This is just so unfair ! I know I'd be tempted go have unprotected sex, but I dont know if you want to be, like rio said, 12 and lauren lol. You have always made us smile and laugh on the boards and be supportive. I hope we can be just as supportive as you are. We adore you and you have a lot of women/friends who care ! HUGS!

[Lauren1171]

Thank you! Now that I am over it, I figure I will get this last insurance paid tx out of the way ASAP. I am seeing RE Thursday for blood and F/U. I think he is going to start me at my next period in two weeks, so it's not so far off. I think my ER will be January 2 appx. What a waste of eggs lol! I am 36 and can not afford to throw away a dozen eggs lol! My DH would do whatever I wanted regarding the sex with 12 eggs lol. On one hand I think it would not be more than two, on the other that is a little scary because I am not kidding I would abort all but two if it was a Kate situation lol. I would not want to be put in the position to make that decision, so I think I will probably abstain. We will see though....I will let you know lol!

[ChelleDe]

:::Laughing::: You're so funny Lauren

[ChelleDe]

Rio - I was just checking out the January Cycle group and I saw your post about Full Fat Dairy? Can you remember where you saw that?

I have been trying to figure out what to eat and what not to eat. I get fruits and veggies and high fiber foods. Avoid fried and high fat protien. Is there other stuff I might want to consider doing? Do you know of any discussions about this topic?

Thanks!

[riogirl71]

Google Times - fertility diet

My Dh was so cute he said we need a bigger car with the baby now, I will start looking (not that we can afford one after IVF!) but I thought it was so cute he is so sure this baby is healthy and coming home! I love that guy!

I am so sorry you were canceled I just have no words. I know I would be so mad and I can totally relate about the cold January mornings since I live in PA and it gets really cold and snowy by January. Also I understand your fears but if it was me I would give this month a try. I don't think you would get pregnant with 12...if only it was that easy right? Like you said it feels like such a waste to not use 12 eggs-that is a whole year of periods. I would take the chance and as tough as the idea os selective reduction is I would not think about that unless it came to it. 3 years ago when we first started this journey I would have told you to abstain but 4 IVF's and many IUI's later I think I would go for it. Its just me though (my mom started menapause at 38 so I am always fearful of wasting eggs personally) and in the end it is your decision and you have to do what is right for you and DH and we are here for you and will cheer you on in January if it comes to that. Again big hugs and I am so sorry about the cancellation.
