Margi- hurray for starting stims. go girl now cali is really calling your name. grow follies grow.
Sd- how is the pg lady doing today? congrats on that perfect beta.

hope this works- congratulations. good news now start enjoying being pregnant.
Leorira- please try to relax in a few hours you will be pupo. all the best. i also dont swear by acupunture but i have looked into it., its just damn expensive in my town and i opted for yoga instead for relaxation. and yes we decided wtf lets do DS instead since its out last chance at this. no one knows except now you ladies. I dint even tell DH i was going to tell you guys. hope he does not read the board today.
Lou- enjoy your free day relaxing and enjoy being pregnant.
CjinNC- i pray those eggs surprise you this time. fingers still crossed you get a bfp.
qita- grow follies grow.
for those i left out you are not forgotten. those in 2ww try to relax and bring on that bfp. those stimming grow follies grow,
AFM i just dont know what to think of this cycle. after 7days of meds i have 2follies leadng the rest,, one at 21 and 19, then a 14 the rest she did not even measure which sucks coz i tried it insisit she measures them but she refused. Then as usual my left ovary was in hiding again :x :x wtf are you hiding for? so of course i have been told to trigger today, coz the doc does not feel like i should let the others catch up. waiting for a call later today.
question for you ladies, in all my cycles i have never triggered before cd12.but this cycle i responded real fast to meds. have any of you triggered on cd 10?

Tammy - I am so sorry, this is just heartbreaking. I al glad you are being your own advocate, your babies implant I really don't understand this, you had great embryos this time. What does your RE say? Give Zach a big huge hug and Bill and our hearts are with you.

Margi I had that happen to me once a while ago, it was scary, gushing everywhere, I don't know why this happens. Yeay for day 2 of stimms!

Leora - super great embryos tomorrow you will be PUPO!

nwquiz - I have a shy ovary too and they have to push so hard to see it, ouch! Grow follies!

Hopethisworks CONGRATULATIONS on an awesome beta!!!

Lauren - what a great story and how funny picturing you chasing Chiuauas while the firemen are there, I never answer #s I don't know either!!!

SD Tuesday's beta will be super great!

Hope Congrats again! What is the next step?

Lauren- omg... Hilarious story!

Samantha- congrats on transferring 2! 50/50 is great odds.

Nwquiz- I triggered on cd10! Ghost sent me a study showing that although waiting for more follies to catch up resulted in more embies, triggering when 3 reached 17mm produced more babies. I think you're there because your shy ovary has a few good ones too. I think it has something to do with endometrial receptivity.

AFM - Tired! Gonna take a nap. We're going out tonight so i need it badly.
Lou--- 1 beautiful baby girl from a single 8 cell embie in Sept 2011

Tammy - I am so so so sorry. I was devastated when I read your post. Sorry you have to go through this.. yet again! Big huge hugs for you!

Samantha - I am here.. just taking a mini break from the board until I have definite answers for this life growing inside of me. Congrats on being PUPO!! So happy for you and can't wait to celebrate your BFP with you! Glad you're feeling much better!

SD - What a nice increase for your beta! So incredibly awesome!

HopeThisWorksM - Congrats!! That's fantastic news! Hoping for a nice increase for your next beta!

Leora - You'll be PUPO in just a few hours!! Yay!!

Katie and others, thank you SO much for the great excitement and enthusiasm for my nice increase in beta. Please pray that it keeps rising nicely for me. I would LOVE to tell my parents that their grandchild is still in there, fighting hard for his or her life.

Sorry for those that I have left out. I have been reading your posts and have been cheering you on silently or grieving with those with not so great news. I tried to take a break from the boards to get my mind off of things until my next beta, but it has been difficult. There are so many of you in your 2ww, and I want to wish you the best of luck! I hope we get tons of BFP's rolling in! My next beta is scheduled for Monday, and even though the last beta was a nice increase, I've still been a bit skeptical. My next beta should be in its 2000+ range and that seems like such a high jump, I'm getting quite nervous. I'm still having cramps on and off so not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing. My U/S is scheduled for next Friday, which seems eons away. Hope everyone enjoys this 3-day weekend. It has been raining nonstop for the past week here in sunny cali. Bummer.

Rio-Thanks for the food tips :)

Margi- The countdown begins for Cali :) I have been on Lupron both cycles and never had that happen so I think maybe it was the nurse being to rough with the needles...

Tammy- I am so sorry.... ( big hugs ) I know today must be a hard day for you, we are all here for you...

Lauren- I'm just reading your post about the fire alarm, too funny you have me laughing... :)

Hopethisworks / Samantha- Congrats girls :)

Thank you girls. I am just gutted right now. Bill and Zach are napping after the long day we just had...and I am sitting here drinking a glass of wine and suddenly feeling sad, now that I have time to. We went out of town early this morning after my blood draw...and stood in line for circus tickets/participated in a harvest food drive, went TRU shopping for several niece and nephew's birthdays coming up, and went to lunch and spent some time with my family who lives out of town. It was a good diversion on a day that I knew might be bad.

I truly appreciate all of your kind words, thoughts, and prayers over the last few days, especially...so thank you to each and everyone of you.

Hopethisworks...Congrats!! That is an excellent beta for 13dpo. I am truly happy for you.

SD...Congrats on your second beta...it is truly fantastic, as I am sure you know. Our plans? I guess...start again, Wednesday. ER/ET being approx 3.10/3.13. What else can we do? We are this close to figuring out the problem...if we stopped now...we would always wonder. I will be requesting that blood clotting test and that other test to be done this week. Doc said it could be done anytime...so no delay on my next cycle. My E2 and progesterone levels weren't back yet...and the lab appears to be closed now...and I'm sure the nurses and docs are gone as well...so I probably wont know anything more or talk to anyone till Monday now. No biggie. I got my own results and I know to stop all meds now. AF should be here Wednesday.

Yes, Zach is a comfort...but I cry for him. I grew up with 2 brothers (always fighting, but close)...and having some terrific nieces and nephews to spoil...and I pray he will get that same experience.

Samantha...Congrats on some beautiful embryos and transferring 2 today after all. Rest up and enjoy being PUPO till you get your BFP! Glad that you are feeling better
now.

Lauren...Thank you for making me laugh.

Nwquiz...Let me know what your E2 level is today, when you get it. Be your own advocate...find out how many are behind and how big they are...and if you should let a couple of big ones go to get a bunch of smaller ones. I dont know your situation exactly...so really just guessing on ideas here for you...but that nurse should have told you exactly what size they are, etc. You have only been stimming for 7 days...I think I would personally ask to hold out for the little ones. However, if the rest are all under 10...then yes, you should trigger today. Best of luck...and keep me posted.

Ashley...Oh honey, try to relax and enjoy your pregnancy at this point. I really, really think that everything is looking good for you and that your numbers will be great on Monday. Hang in there!

So the fun news in all of this...is that I finally got a data plan. I got an Android last night...which is how I posted to you all this morning. It takes some getting used to...that's for sure...and I have alot to learn...but I like it so far...and feel pretty cool joining all of you high tech girls. In order to stay young...I have got to stay up with the times. lol :wink:

Tammy i dont even think that nurse did the test coz i did not get a call a nd they are closed.bamma
we are only dealing with MF. as for me nothing wrong. i had a nice response to meds. many follies on us just dont know the size coz they were not measured. i know the doc does not want to many follicles coz am doing iui but it still worries me coz i wanted more follies to increase my chances. maybe the shy ovary will produce some decent eggs.

Tammy – I am so so sorry, virtual hugging you  My heart breaks with you I am so sorry….I am hoping you did figure out the problem and this next time is your time, I am doing a FET on 3/18 so we will be close if the dates you mentioned hold, us old ladies can 2ww together & keep our PMA up  I have an Android phone & love it! Enjoy! I can answer questions I have mastered mine

HopethisworksM – Congratulations! Awesome news  We will be looking for an update on Monday

Hope/Ashley – I had a beta of 820 on a Friday and by the time I went back to check on Monday it was 5221! So keep the faith it can happen and I am praying with every being of my body that you can tell your parents their grandchild is a fighter already just like your beans mama.

Wannabeamum/Samantha – Congratulations! Sounds like two perfect beans 

Nwquiz – Don’t be down you never know and sometimes you just have a few fighters that take the lead and that is all you need just one strong little fighter…will keep you in my thoughts and pray for success…

Lauren – My big bro is a fireman so I had to share he laughed & said ya that happens & they all get a good giggle out of it! Would love to have been a fly on the wall for that…..

Leorira – Can’t wait to hear tomorrow what your fert report is and what you transferred…..so excited!

AFM – Today is the last day of estradiol & progesterone & just as I suspected AF is arriving so I should be right on schedule for my first monitoring appt on Wednesday can’t imagine why this time around it will get postponed if anything I think I may go early but I won’t go until the week of the 14th if I am ready. It is dumping snow here once again…thanks to the California storm and from the skier in me I say bring it on! :mrgreen:
