I had a better cycle than I did 3 years ago! Email me if you want or need more info. It will work for you, sorry it might take you another time of trying!
Hope you wont mind if i email you too. Could really do with some help here.

Positive thoughts and baby dust to everyone.

Ester- so happy for you! 14is great! And even with a record of low fert. rate, you should still have plenty of nice healthy embies! My clinic also does the twilight sedation. And I think most of my pain I am feeling right now is b/c of the difficult side. I hope this same combination doesn't spell 3 days of pain for you too. I swear, not even my c-section hurt this bad. I would not wish this on my worst enemy. Keep up on those pain meds. Like my RE said, don't try and be a hero, just take the pills! I can't wait to hear your fert report.

They had to drain fluid off my belly while I was under (250 ml).
39 eggs were inseminated. froze 32 and 7 are looking like day 5 transfers! Will only transfer 1 or 2.
They are monitoring me for OHSS. Feeling ok so far, but if anything changes and I have fuild in my belly again, I will not get the fresh transer and they will freeze my 7.

Off to rest. Sorry I am not more social...pain meds make me sleepy... just wanted to give you all an update.
holy macro! wow! congratulations! with this many frozen you should never have to do another fresh transfer. this should be enough for all the babies you'll ever want - i would think :)

lou Hi hun! I miss you too, and I am just over the moon about you being knocked up! :wink:
How are you feeling?? I bet you are feeling better being past that evil 12 month mark!! when do you find out if its team blue or pink??
To be honest with you I need space from this board (although I am always poking around checking in) I just feel left behind...its crazy to know most of the girls i cycled with have already had their babies. It makes me feel so guilty because I am so jealous, and it makes me really sad. Who knew I would ever be jealous of people who had successful IVF cycles ya know?? its bad enough i have to be jealous of all those fertile girls...I feel horrible just saying it out loud right now..i am a bad person i guess.
Anyway you can see why ive been in hiding.
as for my journey...i havent really talked about it much because i'm so scared it wont work, and its our last hope.
we were blessed to adopt 9 beautiful lil embies!!! They are in a clinic in NY about 10 minutes from where my parents live...where i grew up! They are waiting for us, but to be honest i am scared to death to try again. I dont think I could take another BFN. I am trying to get in better shape...my depression, DH's surgery, and winter did not do my body any good. I am trying to snap out of it and lose some weight so I can give our embies the best chances. Its hard when I cry all the time, and ice cream tastes so good!! :roll:
we are also trying to save some money so if i do get my BFP we can actually afford to take care of this baby!
I want to try in june, but i might wuss out. I need to get my PMA back big time!!

ok...this should've been in a PM...i'm sorry for busting into this cycle board with a crazy personal when most of you all dont know who the heck i am!!!
I wish you all the luck in the world!!!

anton I know you dont know me, but while ive been following some girls on here, and in the winter group I found your posts such a great inspiration, and I just wanted you to know that I think you are a very special woman, and these guys are lucky to have you here to support them. best of luck to you sweetie!!
