Hi Ladies

Well, my RE called this morning and asked to see me & there and then I knew something was wrong. I had to wonder from 10am until my appt at 2pm WHAT was going on. Anyway it turns out that my eggs where not good enough for fertilisation and my cycle is therefore cancelled. After i got the call, i had prepared myself for the bad news so when she told me i wasn't surprised.

She send me for blood tests to see if there is a possibility for my egg quality to improve if i take DHEA. If the results are good then i start taking them ASAP for 2 or 3 months and cycle again in July. I get the results next week Wednesday. I am praying that it will be ok.

The hardest part is over, that was telling my mom , i cried when i had to tell her. I am the only one out of 6 girls who doesn't have any children and i see the pain in my mom's eyes, she feels sorry for me and so guily as if its her fault and it breaks my heart. Then telling my sisters, was also painful, coz they were all praying for me. They see me with their kids and are always telling what a great mother i will be. Well now that thats done... I can breathe now and look forward to trying again.

This time I am going to keep it low key so i wont have people asking over and over how the procedure is going.

I am amazed at how well I am taking this. Yesterday and this morning where really hard. I did my crying and my feeling sorry for myself, and that part is done. Knowing where i stand gave me a sense of peace. Now i can focus on other things and my next step.

Thank you all for your support and i wish you ALL the very best of luck. Of course i will stick around and cheer you guys on .

Michele and Jen, i pray you get great fertility reports.

fruit~ Don't give up hope! I was super nervous too b/c I'm not having any symptoms either. But my hpt is still showing a BFP so you just never know!!! Sending you bucket loads of sticky vibes and PMA!!!

NancyB~ Yay for getting your AF early! It's proably the only time any of us are happy to see her come! Now you can start on your plan, BFP here you come!!

Margi~ Congrats on your twins!! How awesome, a double Christmas blessing!! Praying the bleeding stops, I know how scary that can be.

Moorebaby~Thinking of you today a nd hoping your ER goes wonderful. With those great numbers and lining you should have no problems!!!

mom4sure & nicksgam~still thinking of you both and praying your 2 embies are doing great!!! Remember it just takes one!

akdelp~Good luck with your ER today, you'll be PUPO before you know it!!!

Heather~Great numbers! Way to go girl!!!

Anton~Yum! You can come on over and cook for me anytime!!! I love salmon! Yes I had an FET and we transfered 1 5 day blast. So unless we are having identical twins there should just be one strong little bean in there. How crazy would that be to get twins again!:shock:

Sunshine~ Ouch! UTI'S can be so painful, cranberry juice can work wonders on them. Hope your feeling better soon!

Jenmink & Vicky~ Thanks so much for the huge congrats, I loved it!! You've just gotta POAS...you know you want to!!!! When is your beta? Mine is 4-20, can't wait!

mrice~welcome!! IVF is a crazy journey but this board helps and has been a big help to me! All the women are wonderful! Good luck on getting your BFP!!

Red_riding_hood~Those numbers sound great, grow follies, grow! Wishing you lots of baby dust, sticky vibes, and relaxation!

Dallas~ So excited for you!!! PUPO here you come!!!

Hope I didn't miss anyone!!!

AFM~ Yes of course I POAS again this morning and....still BFP! And the 2nd line is starting to get darker. Keeping my beta appt on 4-20 and I plan on stocking up on HPT and peeing on one at least once a day till then! I can't help it, since I lost the twins in Jan I was so sure there was no way we would get blessed twice. And now to have it so close and to think that it has really happened for us again:roll: well I just feel so blessed and scared at the same time. Please God let this little guy stay strong and hold on tight!!!

I am praying that each and everyone of us gets our BFP this time! This is such a hard and crazy journey and we have all been through and are still going through so much. And we are all so ready to pull ourselves up and sign up to do it all again each time it dosen't work. We are all strong and courageous women who deserve to have this happen for us!! Sending tons of baby dust and (((HUGS))) to you all.

Mom4sure - so sorry to hear your news. I had a similar experiences with canceled cycles b/c of not having any making it to transfer. It totally sucks! I have been taking DHEA since September though and my last few cycles have gone a bit better so it can help. I know it is hard but try to keep up your PMA - you will be a mama too some day SOON! <<Hugs>>

easly4 - CONGRATS on your BFP!! Only a few days until your beta confirms what we already know - you are preggers!!!

Ester and akdelp - good luck with your ERs! I'm thinking of you guys and hoping for lots of mature eggies!

Michelle - 5 is not bad at all - we have some really high producers on this board - don't try to compare yourself to everyone else. I struggle with that too but really 5 is great and we only need 1 that sticks!! hopefully they will all fertilize and keep growing and you will have 5 embies to work with so they can pick the best ones to transfer! Keep up your positive thoughts!!

Heather - sounds like you had a great retrieval! Good luck with your fertility report!

Jenminnk - congrats on your 2 girls - that is too exciting! Twins would be awesome

Margi - thanks for checking in on us. Glad to hear you are doing well with twins on the way. Hope your SCH goes away SOON!

All you other ladies that are now pupo - hope you are doing well and relaxing! The 2ww will go by before you know it - stay busy but make sure you keep lots of down time for you to kick back and put your feet up too. Your babies want to snuggle in with mama

AFM - I had my SnS this morning. There were at least 4 follicles that are big enough and ready to go and my lining was about 10 so she said that looks great. There were a few other follicles that are close and may be mature by Saturday! So I trigger tonight and we are on for ER on Saturday morning! I'm stilling waiting to see how my estradiol results look - on Tues they were over 400 so increasing but still relatively low - I'm really hoping they are much higher today. I'm going tomorrow for accupuncture to help prepare the eggs for retrieval. I'm so glad it worked out this way so my husband doesn't have to stress out about taking time off from work to go with me.

Baby dust to all!

[jasmine79]

Very big hugs to Mom4sure, i cant imagine what you must be feeling, but its so inspiring how positive you are.

I'm gonna follow your example and have my ivf experience as a 'need to know basis' i.e. im not planning on telling people whats happening and have even sworn my husband to secrecy, he cant share it with his family or friends and likewise I'm not sharing it with anyone, so that no matter how it goes I will either celebrate or grieve in private.

Hugs once again and baby dust to everyone

[fruit]

mom4sure: so sorry to hear the bad news...but who know, maybe July is Your Month!!!

easly4 - CONGRATULATIONS on your BFP!! I noticed that ur beta is on 20/4 mine is on 21/4 but i don't have the courage to POAS.... i guess i will be waiting for 21/4 to know bcoz i cannot stand seeing the one strong negative line that i always saw on my last 4 failed attempts

BABY DUST TO EVERY ONE

I am sooo sorry (((HUGS))), I cried when I read your post. We decided only to tell my Mom this time around and it has made this cycle less stressful. I have heard only good things about DHEA. The prenatal vitamins I am taking have it in them. I am praying for your July cycle.

[CT_Michele]

Mom4sure- I totally understand what you are going through, I just got the same miserable news.

That's right, out of 5 only 3 mature, 0 fertlised. I am devastated. All this pain for nothing. They said they would look one more time prior to discarding anything. I can't believe this. Never did I think we wouldn't make it to transfer. I can't even cry b/c it hurts too much.

[lou71]

mom4sure and CT_Michelle --- My heart is breaking for you. I'm so sorry for your devastating news.

[fruit]

OMG CT_Michele it very heartbreaking to hear the bad news my heart is crying for both of u , i can feel ur pain through all my last BFNs, but we all have to keep our hope anf faith, and im sure that our time will come sooner or later. hugs and kisses to all of u

[NancyB]

mom4sure -- I'm so sorry to hear your cycle is cxl'd. That totally stinks!!!!! Big hugs for you.

Margi -- so wonderful to hear your twins are just as they should be. What wonderful news!!

Easley4 -- whooo hoooo on your BFP. What great news.

Moorebaby -- ER today for you? I read it but now I can't remember.

kbillsy -- ER this weekend for you. Great news.


AFM -- I got my official FET calendar just a moment ago. Interesting in the email she sent she told me that there is a shortage of Lupron and therefore she is ordering my meds from WalGreens Specialty Pharmacy because they do have Lupron. A Lupron shortage is a scary thing to hear for us IVF folks. Have y'all heard talk of that as well?

According to my calendar, my transfer will be the week of 5/30. A lot less appointments w/ an FET. I like that part. I don't go in for suppression check until 5/10. And then won't have another one until 5/23.

I'm getting excited but also crazy scared that it won't work. I know the scared is not good for PMA so I'm working on it.

Baby dust for everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
