FEB / MARCH 2011 Cycle Buddies!! can't wait!

[blairwh58]

crissy- We are all anxious for your US tomorrow!!! Im sure we will get a little more sleep than it sounds like you have been getting, but know we are all here thinking of you. Good luck and keep us posted as soon as you have the results.

wehavehope- Exciting that you all get to jump back into things!! So I was trying to think back to the timeline you had posted but if you start the provera on friday when will that put the ET? We are all here cheering you on.

I had an u/s today to see how I am responding to the stim meds, and so far I have 6 decent size follicles (the two biggest measuring at 9) and 20 smaller ones they are hoping will catch up. How easy/likely do you guys think it will be for those other 20 to catch up?

[blairwh58]

Addy- how much longer are you on the stims? They usually can catch up pretty quickly so hopefully they do and you end up with tons of great eggs!

[Addy]

I'm not sure how much longer I am on the stims, I go back on Fri for another u/s. Tonight will be day 5 of stims. How long do you normally take the meds?

[blairwh58]

Addy- I think its usually 8-12 days of stimming, but I know some people who go shorter and some longer- just depends on the person. If you are just at day 5 I'm sure you'll end up with lots of mature eggs by ER.

Thanks Blair

Blairwh58,
So, I am not quite sure what the timeframe will be. I am still very confused about this. I was hoping to find someone on the forum that had gone through a similar FET cycle that could share their experience and timeline before the FET. As far as I know, I will start Ptovera on Friday. I will take one pill each day for 10 days. On or about day 11 I should have my AF. After that I am unsure. I know that at some point I will be starting the Lupron which is for two weeks and then the Estrogen Patches which should overlap by about a week with the Lupron Injections. I know that 5 days after I start on the Progesterone (Crinone) they will do the FET. I think we may be looking at the 1st week of April if in fact the injections start at the beginning of my next cycle. I know the purpose of the Provera is to speed up the process of the next cycle since this one came so early.

Fun- are you out there??? Oh FUN...where are you????? FUN??? FUN???? FUN!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????????

Just thinking about you Chris and wondering if you'll post sometime tonight.

Cindylou- the great diet discussion is back on page 16 about halfway down the page. Jen Mink starts it. Hope that helps! I also posted a link to an article my RE wrote in his newsletter about it.

Blair- I did enjoy my day back at work. I have been so "Zen" lately that I was super chill and had a crazily productive day. I carried the peace of my pregnancy back to the office. Well okay, at least I was peaceful in the morning. I had an end of day disagreement with our operations department but that is typical. Sales and Operations go together like oil and water. Darn bean counters. I wanted to be like "Hey Lady, be nice to me and just give me what I want...I'm pregnant!"

I think a trip to Cali sounds like a GREAT plan for you. Walking is supposed to be good for pregnancy. I am jealous on the ticker plan, I was so tempted after SD took that bold step but when the moment came I just could't do it. I am all about PMA, but I just couldn't imagine changing that ticker if it didn't work out. I know...that is like SOOOOOO not going to happen, but you understand.

Crissylove- Enjoy your u/s!!!! It will be great. Hard to believe that you have missed so much work. I forget sometimes you have OHSS because you so rarely mention it. You are one tough broad! I would be whining daily.

WE- congrats on making a decision and getting going! We are behind you all the way.

AFM- I actually have the itch to POAS, but I am not doing it! NOT, NOT NOT!

Well...probably not.

At least not today....

LOL!

You ladies are the best!

[crissylove]

Fun must be having fun and excitement right about now which is probably why we haven't heard from her.

Bliss-Are you still thinking of POAS'ing the morn of beta? Which is when again?

[BlissfulCS]

I bet fun IS having fun... I bet she is having the stinking time of her life!

Beta is Monday morning. Planning to go for it on Sunday morning. I had originally planned that because DH was going out of town Monday. Now his business trip is cancelled but I am still doing it. I think I had already mentally committed to it.

Hey Gals, sorry i didn't post over here. With doing 3 years of IVF on 3 different IVF boards I had so many people to update. There is a group on Fb and they were hounding me all day to get my results. Then once i got results i got a million FB message. i don't think FB could keep up... so I did a quick post on here and then had to take a break from the computer for awhile.. this is truly so surreal. Hearing someone say i had a positive beta was like being in a fairytale land. i was at work and almost started crying. i grabbed my jacket and headed out to my car so i could shed some tears of joy and to text hubby.

crissy - When is your u/s?

Blissful - NO POAS!!! i never thought i would say that but it did help my sanity a little this cycle not to POAS. even if i POAS this morning it might not have shown positive. I know its hard not too.

SD - Congrats on the U/S, so happy that everything is looking AOKAY..

blair - how far along are you on stims? I haven't been able to keep up this week.

I'll keep everyone posted on Friday. I believe i will be a lot calmer for the next beta... though still worried that something will go wrong. Thanks everyone for your support.

[BlissfulCS]

Yayayayayayayayayayay! Sorry to pester you to post but I was just dying to see it on this board and official...you must feel like a celebrity being hounded by the paparazzi today...its because So many people are pulling for you. You deserve it Chris.

I told you this would be it!

Super duper beta doubling vibes for you FUN. I've never been preggo, but I know enough to know that you won't stop worrying about this baby...EVER. Enjoy and congrats.

And if Momma FUN says to stay away from the sticks, that is enough for me. I'm waiting.

[becca5m]

fun, wanted to wish you congrats on your great news!!

I think I am one day past you but I don't have beta test until 14th. This wait is so hard. What date did you transfer? I had transfer on March 4th.

[WeHaveHope]

Fun,
Congratulations. I am so excited for you.
