cwehrs: I wish I had an US this week and got to start my injections. I dont start Lupron until 3/6...so I still have a little bit. I def agree with you on that "sex" comment. I think at this point if that worked for us we would have tons of kids by now.

bliss- Congrats on the clean US. Im so glad you not only got to start the shots but also get to move up your ET date!!! I guess I am pretty busy but always feel better when Im getting things accomplished. Even on the wknds when I plan to lounge around I always end up doing some kind of project.

crissylove- hope you start feeling better. Once you see that BFP itll all be worth it!

addy- good luck telling your boss. Im sure if you explain that this is a very private matter it shouldnt be an issue. If not cant you talk to your HR department? He shouldnt be able to tell stuff like this to anyone without your consent.

indigofire- i added you to the list below- Welcome. Good luck in the miserable 2ww!!!

SD- how are you hanging in there? Darker lines by now Im sure. So excited for you!!!

LYD10- when will you start testing? We need someone to follow SD footsteps and keep the BFP going.

To_have_fun- a 2 wk period would be miserable. In Dec when I miscarried I had that for a week and then they did a D & C which made me bleed a whole other week…it was great especially since it was right at Christmas and every time I went to the bathroom it was a constant reminder of what happened.

Mamaboo- How are things going with you? Havent heard from you much.

Rio- Thanks for dropping by. I hope you are right and this is finally our time!!

AFM- Sorry if i missed anyone. Im still counting down the days still even though itll be awhile. I am being bad and not following the RNs advice. She said that after I had my period we should use condoms until I start Lupron…I laughed when she told me and still laugh at the thought of it. I know miracles can happen and everything but seriously- DH counts are so low that IVF is the only option, and they don’t know why its not working. This is IVF attempt #4 so do they really think I want to waste extra money on condoms?

Blair- Sorry, I had you and Bliss confused. :?

Indigo- Welcome! The more the merrier in "crazy town"! LOL!

AFM- Just got back from my latest US. RE said anything at 9mm or larger at this point is a "potential player". So as of now that's 6 on the right and 5 on the left. So for now I have 11 potential eggs. Here's hoping they are all of excellent quality! Next US/E2 level on Monday to see if I trigger or wait another day or two. I really hope we stay on schedule; otherwise I'm going to have to start scrambling to find someone to switch schedules with me at work.

Addy: good luck with your boss. I am luckier than most when it comes to that. When I told mine he said, I know what it entails, I've been through it. I almost fell in the floor I was so surprised. He and his wife went through it about 30 years ago! I was so shocked. However, needless to say, he's been very understanding about all of the RE visits. :D I am getting a new boss here in the next few weeks though. My "old" one is being promoted, but he said he'll take care of things so I don't have to worry about missing work.

Hi Ladies, I've been on these boards for 6 months and I see so much about betas and can't believe that my clinic never even talked about it... Do you go for bloodwork every time you get a beta? After my IVF in August (and a BFP that ended in m/c at 10 weeks : ( With my IVF cycle, I had the 2ww and went for one bloodtest and got the BFP with no numbers or betas whatsover. In the subsequent weeks, I had no contact with the clinic except for my OHSS... I envy that you can get these numbers that are obviously really indicative... I am in Canada.... I wonder if there are any other canadians on these boards that get these betas at their clinics???

I love that SD can keep us posted that way and how reassuring it must be for her!

Anyway... had to comment... it's been festering...

Good weekend everyone!

SD I'm super ecstatic for you. Have u been feeling symptomatic? Pls share if so.

Question for the whole board...after reading Tammy's thread on her E2 situation it made me stop and think. My doc isn't giving me any estrogen supplements through my 2ww. Does everyone usually get it through theirs. I'm a lil concerned especially after putting back 3.

I didn't have any embryos to put back last time around, but according to my calendar I am scheduled to start taking estrogen 5 days after my ET (if there is one) this cycle . I don't know if that is the norm or not though.

SD- WOO HOO!!! Congrats! I'm so excited for you! Hopefully you are just the first of a long line of BFPs on this thread.

crissy - Most clinics do not do any estrogen support and don't even do blood test to check estrogen or progestrone. i guess it has never been proven to help once the transfer has happened. I think if doing a fet they will do estrogen support.

Blair, thanks for asking. I start estrogen patches, antibiotics and aspirin tomorrow. Yeah! Not IVF related, I am battling a cold. I feel horrible. I left work early yesterday and today. I hate this! :evil:

I start estrogen (estradial 6mg a day - 3 in morning & at night) 2 weeks before ET then continue after ET for an additional 10 weeks - my RE thinks it is very important to this process and does not do one cycle without it. Hope that helps.....

Shaymama- I am beyond excited that I will have you cycling with me!! Sounds like we may be on the exact same schedule which would be nice. You're doing fresh too right?
